Hi Glenn,
You need to Authorize your Mom's computer to your iTunes sign on. Sign on to iTunes, then go to Store at the top of the screen, and select Authorize this Computer.
Then you can download your purchases from your iTunes library by going to the iTunes Store (the one in the sidebar), Music, and then under Quick Links, Purchased.
Once the Purchased window comes up, select "Not on this Computer", and then select All Songs. Your purchased songs will display with a cloud next to them, and you can download them selectively or "Download All" (lower right-hand corner).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

  • I bought a few songs on itunes but the songs appear in grey letters and I cannot transfer them to my iphone. I've bought/rented TV shows/movies since so there isn't an issue with my account. How can I get these newly purchased songs onto my iphone?

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

  • Have no access to apple id email account hacked how do i get my music back?

    Hello,
      If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.  All my microsoft  email accounts or any email account I have ever own was hacked back in 2009.  Now I would really like to be able to get all the itunes music I purchased but I don't have access to the email account it is associated with.  Not even sure which one it is.   I spoke with Apple on the phone and they informed me that every email account I thought was listed with my Apple id never was. Also that my apple  id revolved around a hotmail account.  I had no clue because I don't recall ever associating it with one.  Needless to say I can't access or close my hotmail accounts due to something about them being associated with a microsoft account.  STill not sure what they are talking about. I have been trying for years to close my email accounts or access them but so far nothing.  They are being used just not by me.  I did send a letter to Microsoft for support welll that was a waste of time.My question is how do I get the 100s of songs I paid for when I can't access my orginal apple id?   I can't get past the birthdate for security questions and apple can't help me.   Last October I spent hours on the phone with apple and they sent me a reset password email to my internet provider Fibrant.  Sad thing is I never got it until about 3 weeks ago.   Alittle to late.  I assumed someone or something kept it from me so I could not access my apple id.   The only thing I have as an apple id is an expired . me account.   You would think that would be enough to prove the music I purchased was listed with that me  account and one time but nope its not.   I just need to know how to get access to my apple id the original one.   I have went out of my was to get a mac computer and apple router , I also took all my microsoft pcs and got rid of them.  But it doesn't matter because evidently who ever third party or what not that has my apple id is associated with microsoft.  I didn't even realized all my music on my ipod was formatted for windows.  so I try to restore it and I lost a 100 and some songs.   I bought itunes match last october and that was a waste I am not sure but I think it was associated with microsoft too.   When I speak with apple on the phone  they usually say that account doesn't exist.  Or that there is no record of the hours I spent on the phone speaking with them.  Or they can access the case number but there are no details.  If someone has a good idea of how I can reclaim my orginal apple id besides my old @ me account I would greatly appreciate it.  I can't get pass the birthdate that states is wrong and if i get a reset email it seems to be intercepted or something.     Please help.

    I did back up my computer and then put everything back on ( or so I thought) but it did not work properly ( I don't know why) maybe I hit the wrong button, but know on my back up for iTunes it is the one  I have  on my computer now without all my music and photos. Guess I'll just have to start again, I did manage to work out how to get any purchases I got from iTunes. So it's just all my own music bit of a bummer really but still you live and learn, so I'm told.
    Thanks for the help thought much appreciated.  

  • Olp PC crashed, new PC now how do I get my music back?

    Have new PC now. Saved all folders from old PC HDD. Will install iTunes 7.6 on new PC but how should I get my music back from the old PC's HDD? My iPod contains music purchased from iTunes, plus music from alot of CD's I own. WOuld like to recover music from my old HDD rather than synching from iPod (which I don't know how to do anyway!)

    Yes, just delete the duplicates but make sure to keep at least one copy!
    Actually it might be easiest to start over - totally clear your library, and make sure this copy setting is turned off
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61658
    then clear out your new PC's music folder.
    Then add everything back from your old hard drive.
    You only have to authorize one song for the whole PC to get authorized:

    Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

    Yes, I got that. My question was "are you using the same iTunes account to access music purchased from the Store?" I think your answer is "yes".

    iTunes is not designed to do that. However, this user tip from tt2 may help you recover your music from your iPod, although it's not a simple process: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Ignore any references in the tip to iOS devices, the Classic does not use iOS. The tip has a list of software, including the TouchCopy referred to by tbirdvet that may assist you in recovering your music.

    I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.

    Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.

    Hi,
    The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

  • I was updating my software on my iphone 4 and it crashed so it recovered it and i restored it from its back up. However I have lost all my music and my apps but not my pictures. How can i get my music back and apps back?

    Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

    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.

  • Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
    When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later".  The other song is nowhere to be seen.  The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
    I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
    If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
    If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
    I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

    Define "I cannot transfer songs."  What exactly did you do, and what exactly happened?
    Did you authorized iTunes on your computer and sign into the same iTunes account as your phone (and the one the music was purchased under)?

    You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.
    Transfer music purchased from iTunes

    For other music you will require a 3rd party program
