Why wont songs purchased from itunes transfer to my media files on pc?

why wont songs purchased on itunes transfer to music library on pc?

I'm a bit confused by your question.
You say you have synced with your iMac, and that you have match turned on. If match is turned on you can't sync music any more.
Are the purchases new, or old ones?
Can you confirm that match is turned on on both the iMac and the iPhone.

    If so, I might start with the following document (your error message is a possible symptom of the issue too):

  • HT3819 When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not.  When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them.

    When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not.  When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them.  I've tried synching from multiple computers that are all connected with home sharing but it still didn't do the trick.

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • I recently updated my iPhone and now find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my phone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes.  Is there anyway to remedy this?  I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music.  Thanks

    I recently ran an updatedafter being prompted multiple times. Now I find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my iPhone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes.  Is there anyway to remedy this?  I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music.

    Why would you repurchase songs simply because they will not sync?  Sorry, that's beyond illogical, it's simply not smart.
    What happens when trying to sync these songs?
    Any errors?

    One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song.  So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

  • Authorization of old song purchases from iTunes-Win7 PC.

    For old songs purchased from iTunes several years ago, I'm notified I've exceeded the max (5) number of computers. I cannot play these songs or have them synch to my new iPhone.  I've deauthorized all computers and re-authorized my current Win7 PC. I've changed the notification settings in the control panel. (All of these remedies suggested by Apple on-line support).  This issue is still not resolved. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thank you.

    Sounds like you might have multiple iTunes Store accounts. If you purchased that old album with a different Apple ID, it wouldn't show up in your purchase history if you are signed in to a different account. Same deal for authorizing content. If that song was purchased using a different Apple ID, you would need to use that account name and password to authorize it.
    If you aren't sure which account you used to purchase an item, you can find out by following these steps:
    1) Control-click (or right-click) the item in your iTunes Library.
    2) Choose Get Info from the menu that appears.
    3) Click the Summary tab.
    You’ll see the account used to purchase the item. If you have changed your account name, the item's Summary will still show the original account name.

  • Does Genius see only songs purchased from iTunes?

    Does Genius see only songs purchased from iTunes? If I fill in some of the information, iTunes library such as track names, play counts, and ratings on songs that weren't purchases from the iTunes library will these be included in Genius. Will songs that just have the title and artist be included in Genius. Thanks for the help.

  • TS4124 Why would a song purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iCloud?

    it is a protected AAC file at 128 kbps, purchased from iTunes.

    I can't remove it and add it back, because it has been "removed" from iCloud, so the only copy is on my computer.  The Get Info does show, on the "removed" or "ineligible" songs that I purchased them with a different Apple ID.  Perhaps that is the problem?  I spoke to an Apple tech some time ago about merging the two IDs, but apparently this is not possible.

  • Ipod skips only with songs purchased from ITunes

    My Ipod skips with a handfull of songs that I purchased from ITunes. They play fine on my laptop, but my Ipod wont play the entire song. Some play for 2 minutes others play for 20 seconds. I can't get anywhere with help topics, and I went through the whole 3 R's list twice. HELP!! Thanks

    Did you try carving a pentagram into the ground, filing it with gasoline, lighting it on fire, placing the ipod inside the pentagram, and then dancing around it naked while howling at the moon yet ?
    I supose its possible that there were internet interuptions during the download of theese songs. Most computer soundcards have technology that eliminates skips by... skipiing the skips. If you have a problem like Goldwave (freeware), you can open the file and zoom in to look at the wav. If there are little holes, you can delete them and it will be seemless. This is something I have done in the past, but likely isn't your issue.
    Sorry I cant offer a more definative answer.

  • IPod will not play songs purchased from itunes

    my ipod will show me the album (songs, artwork, time of song, etc.) but when I press play, it just quickly skips through all the songs. So far this has only been the case with music purchased through itunes. I restored my ipod but nothing has helped thus far. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    This just happened to me on one song I purchased from iTunes (it plays fine on iTunes on my MacBook). I'm on iTunes 8.0 (haven't yet upgraded to newest version). Everything else works fine so should I do this for only one song - or is there another easier fix? I did copy the song to a cd so would it work if I just deleted the one song and imported it? Or is this a sign of a deeper problem?

  • Trouble after Upgrading to Vista - Songs Purchased from iTunes.

    So I upgraded the family laptop with Vista (unimpressed so far, but thats a different issue) and then tried use iTunes and a gift card my wife gave me. To my suprise, iTunes told me that certain songs couldn't be copied to my iPod...turns out its only songs I purchased from iTunes. All of the songs I added to the library by ripping CDs still reside on my iPod, but nothing that I've downloaded. They are still in my library, but I can't get them onto my iPod. I've spent a great deal of time and money building my music collection, how do I fix this so I can use it again!?

    With an OS upgrade, iTunes will view your system as new, requiring another authorization to play purchased content. You will have to re-authorize your computer.
