ITunes will not transfer my purchases from phone to computer?

I had to restore my computer just to get itunes working on my new computer, and while i did this, I lost over 300 songs that i had purchased from itunes. Some songs were from my moms account, and some were from mine. but it says only 300 and something songs were on her account and i KNOW for a **** fact that i had 1252 songs on her account for me alone. And when i go to transfer purchases from my phone to my computer it will not transfer. Please fix this or else i will never use itunes again and i will bash this companys name. Never in my life have i had such a **** experiance with this company. you should be ashamed of all of these problems. I cant uninstall itunes unless i want to restore my computer again. so DO NOT offer me that suggestion because i WILL NOT restore this computer a 6th time because of your screw ups

You should be able to copy them back onto your computer from your backup of your library that you've been keeping. Both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes and the music was purchased from iTunes, and File > Devices > Transfer Purchases doesn't copy them ? That won't copy music bought from other sources and/or copied from CDs.
Depending upon what country that you are in and if they are still in your country's store, then you might be able to redownload your purchases on your computer via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the store home page on your computer's iTunes, though redownloading an account's purchases may tie the computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Just updated and now my iTunes will not transfer my music from my PC that I haven't purchase via iTunes

    Just updated my iPad ,now I can't seem to transfer my music from my PC that I didn't buy in iTunes !  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • Itunes will not transfer downloaded iMovie from iPad, although the PC is an authorized device. How do I overcome this?

    I just set-up family share.
    I downloaded iMovie on my daughter's iPad Mini.
    After trying to sync the iPad Mini with our home PC.
    An error message appears that says the PC is not authorized and go to itunes store and authorize.
    When I do the computer says's it is already authorized.
    How do I get the iMovie app synced to it can be added to my iPad?  and
    Is this a bug in Family Share?

    did your daughter accept the invite for family sharing?

  • HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

  • ITunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username.  How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

    iTunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username.  How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • HT1386 My iTunes will not synch music downloaded from CDs from my laptop to my Iphone

    My iTunes will not synch music downloaded from CDs from my laptop to my Iphone. Help!

    Are you seeing an error message in iTunes when this happens?
    Are you syncing the music manually, automatically or over-the-air?
    To get a better idea of the syncing options take a look at this video and this Apple doc -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes

  • Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library

    Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
    When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.

    I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
    However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
    When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
    The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
    By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
    Good luck! Hope it works!

  • Help!!!! when i try to transfer my videos from phone to computer they upload as still images with sound!!!!

    hi all,
    when i try and transfer my videos from phone to computer they are tranfering as still images with sound! I have tried going through i tunes! quick time and vlc player but they are all coming up the same!
    I have bought several apps to aide with this but they all give the same results!
    i find it hard to believe that i cannot transfer videos from iphone as i have a samsung monte too and that requires plugging in and selecting phone then selecting what i want transferring and then they are there to watch as i recorded them!!!!!
    these are really important videos of my daughters first steps etc so really need to get this right! and as phone memory is low i cant do much on phone till i get rid of the vids!!!!
    thanks in advance

    Plug your iPhone into your PC, when it is connected open my computer and you will see your iPhone under devices. Double click on your iPhone and a window will open and display a dics drive called "internal storage", double click on internal storage and a folder will appear (might be named DCIM), double click on that folder and another folder should appear. This folder(s) (their may be more then one) should contain all your pictures and videos taken on your iPhone. Simply select the video(s) you want to save to you computer by right clicking on the video, select copy and then paste it where you would like to save it on your pc (click and drag will also work). After you have transfered the videos to your pc see if they play properly.

  • ITunes will NOT transfer purchases made via Apple TV - ATV HD is now FULL!

    For an unknown reason, All of my recent PURCHASES made via Apple TV remain on ATV as they will NOT TRANSFER to my iTunes. Now my ATV drive is full.
    No changes have been made to either configuration.
    The only update that was installed during this period was to BootCamp.
    Please fix this issue. It's been around for a long long time.

    Problem still exists. Have tried all suggestions that I have found so far on the web.
    Resetting is not an option as I live in a RURAL are where the local ISP charges by Gbytes transferred.
    The only option I see at this time is to hack the ATV to accept a USB drive and manually transfer.
    Please post any success you might have with this issue.
    ZERO follow through from Apple is not acceptable.

  • IPhoto will not play song purchased from iTunes in slideshow

    IPhoto reports the song as not being authorized on this computer.
    When I go to iTunes the songs are all authorized to play on this computer, and they do play in iTunes.
    Here's the message from iPhoto:
    This computer is not authorized to play "17 Good Riddance.mp4".
    If you purchased this song you can open itunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering your Apple ID and Password".
    When I do this, nothing changes. I can repeat the process a number of times and the purchased song will not play.
    Anyone else deal with this and find a solution?

    I did the burn and re-import and that works just fine. Would like to resolve this so I do not have to do that work around though.
    Haven't posted at the iTunes forum as it seems like more of an iPhoto problem since the songs in question play fine in iTunes. It seems that iPhoto is the program having trouble with the DRM on slideshows.
    I'll check around over there though.
    Thanks everyone for such quick responses.

  • ITunes will not transfer purchases

    I installed Vista x64, which does not work with iTunes. So, I use an old XP box, and now iTunes will not let me transfer my purchases. It says something like "This does not belong to this computer," even though I just wiped my iPod. It still does not work. Does anybody have the answer?

    Actually, it just works so nevermind

  • Ipod will not play anything purchased from itunes!!!

    My ipod will not play anying thing purchased from itunes. It plays ok on itunes but it skips it on my ipod. I have restored my ipod athoritized my computer and I cant find any answers in help. Please help me!!!

    See this article.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
    The following articles will help you.
    Authorization and Deauthorization.
    How to restore the iPod.
    How to recreate your iTunes library.
