Purchased audiobooks disappeared after syncing with new MacBook Pro

I had my iPhone synced with a Windows laptop which got really slow and decided to replace it with a MacBook Pro. In between the last sync with the laptop and the first sync with the MacBook Pro I had bought a couple of audiobooks through the iTunes Store. After syncing the iPhone with the new Macbook everything was fine except the audiobooks which we gone. Originally I thought it would work as with the apps from the AppStore that I could download them again free of charge by just giving my apple ID and password. However this was not the case. Can someone please help me with this as losing these audiobooks would suppose a more considerable loss of money compared to just apps.
Thank you,
Arne

You should have transferred the purchases to your computer: File>Devices>transfer Purchases
At this point, all you can do is contact itunes support, explain your situation, and hope they grant a redownload.

  • Ensuring iPhone will sync with new Macbook Pro without migrating all settings

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new macbook pro. I don't want to use the migrate assistant to copy all settings and user profiles, because my old macbook has some problems and I want to ensure they aren't transferred over.
    However, I need to be sure that my iPhone 4 will sync properly with my new macbook pro and all my purchased apps will be carried over.
    Can someone tell me what specifically I need to migrate to ensure this works properly?
    Thank you!
    Danielle

  • No purchased Mountain Lion in Appstore with new Macbook Pro

    Hi there,
    I purchased a brand new Apple 13" Macbook Pro-3rd i5-2.5ghz two days ago. Now wanting to install an SSD drive i'm preparing by getting my OSX onto an external drive to make a clean install onto the new SSD.
    The Macbook came with 10.8.4 pre-installed, which I updated to 10.8.5, flawlessly. So, Mountain Lion pre-installed and updated, good.
    Now that I want to get Mountain Lion onto an external drive for when I go for the clean install on the SSD, I start looking for it in the appstore under my purchased apps: Mountain Lion nowhere to be found.
    I Google the problem: "Mountain Lion OSX not showing as purchased in Appstore"
    Same apple id used? Yes I did.
    "It's probably under your hidden purchases, check your account and show hidden purchases!" No it's not there as well.
    If I search the market for Mountain Lion it shows up... with a nice pricetag of 17,99 euros.
    How is this possible? I registered my Apple ID correctly, was able to update to 10.8.5 just fine, but the Mountain Lion OSX still appears as un-purchased in the Appstore, which is not letting me download it (for free..)
    Suggestions?
    Best regards,
    Sylvain

    Thank you for your clear answer! All the answers from Google I found apparently came from people that purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store instead of having it pre-installed, which got me confused.
    I purchased the Macbook new from an authorised reseller, not directly from an Apple Store. However the store is pretty big and common in Holland (www.dixons.nl) so that won't be an issue.
    So you're saying I can simple put the SSD in, boot with command+R while being connected to the internet and install through the recovery partition directly of the internet.
    Seems like a very easy system, I guess i'm just used to old fashion having the operating system on an external drive or cd in order to make a clean install.
    *Will it be a problem to leave the original HDD in alongside with the new SSD? I guess in the boot menu you can choose what to do with each drive?
    I will be using the original 500gig HDD for storage, simply installing the SSD in order to boost he performance of the Macbook.

  • Hi. My songs that I bought on my iphone does not show on purchaced after sync with my macbook pro. Some of the songs shows it has been downloaded ,but it has an x next to it and doesnt play. Thx

    Songs bought on iphone do not show up as purchased on my macbook pro after sync. Some songs bought on iphone show as downloaded but has an x next to it and cannot play. It play on my iphone though.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • IMessage won't sync with new macbook pro

    I purchased a Macbook pro today and I can't seem to get my iMessages that I have on m iPhone 6 onto my mac. Calendar and mail are working.

    Hi,
    It will "Sync" (or rather "display on all devices") only from the time you set it up.
    It will not grab "historical" iMessages.

  • Change my iphone sync with new macbook pro

    My MacpBook pro crashed and while it is being fixed i have bought a new one hoping i woulkd be able to get up and running quickly.  I want to sync my iphone with my new itunes so i can get my itunes media back onto the new machine.  however it tells me it cant sync because it is synced to a different computer (i.e my old one which is in for repair). Any ideas?

    Perhaps it would be prudent to Invest in one...
    Then after you have Used it to Move your iTunes Library...
    You can Use it as your Time Machine Backup Drive with your New Mac...

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • HT2513 one of my caledars disappeared after sync with iphone? where is it? How do I get it back?

    one of my caledars disappeared after sync with iphone? where is it?

    Generally your library will be in your music folder in an iTunes folder, more specifically a library.itl file.  If it isn't there then for some reason it has disappeared and can be restored from the backup you make of your computer.

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.
