Automatically transfer new purchases...

Two computers running Snow Leopard, fully updated to 10.6.1 and iTunes 9. Both on the same WLAN (Time Capsule) and home sharing is configured using the same iTunes Account. Home sharing is working fine. Under "Settings" I checked to "Automatically transfer new purchases" and then proceeded to purchase the new Jay-Z album on my iMac. I see my MBP scrolling "Checking for new purchases" in iTunes, but then nothing downloads? Anyone have any idea whats going on?

Same situation here. I set the two computers up for Home Sharing, but when I purchased 4 songs from the iTunes store, form one computer, nothing showed up on the other computer.
What gives? Same account used on both machines, home sharing enabled, and transfer new music checked in Settings.
P.S. Actually it does work. The songs just do not appear under Purchased on the other library but in the Music library itself.

  • Home Share - Automatically Transfer New Purchases

    Does Home Share's  Automatically Transfer New Purchases option transfer 'new' content, or just itunes purchases?
    I have a few Mac, one RIP a CD with songs, do the other's get the music?

    home sharing copies purchases from the iTunes store only !
    music you add yourself must be transferred manually.

  • Automatically import new purchases

    I have succesfully set up home sharing on my network but do not see the "“Automatically import new purchases" option under advanced settings. Where is this option or is it not implemented yet.
    I am on the latest version of itunes and can successfully see both libraries and drag between them. Both computers are authorized and using the same itunes store account. Why can't I find this option to turn it on?

    when iTunes on both machines is running, click on the home sharing icon in one of them to bring up the lib for the other machine. at the right bottom, you will see 2 buttons. one would be import and the other settings. click on settings.

  • Transfer new purchases to different computer

    I been using ITunes on my desk top at work. I purchased some songs from the ITunes store. Now, the computer does not have ability to burn CDs. I want to take my new purchases as well as the entire library and use my IPOD shuffle in sync with my home laptop. I have been able to transfer all my library ...except my purchases. How can I do that.

    If you were to go to the top of this page and click "Support" then type "itunes transfer purchases" or similar you would get several articles from Apple on how this could be done.
    Here is one such article:

  • Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

    My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • How do I stop automatic transfer of purchases from Apple tv to computer?

    I bought the 160 gig Apple tv so I could spare my macbook from iTunes content (The MB has a small harddrive). I unchecked the "sync TV show" option in iTunes (under the Apple tv). The problem is that my Apple tv keeps transferring my purchases back to my computer. The 80 gig macbook harddrive is not comfortable with the size of those shows.
    How can you turn that opion off?

    I have a very similar problem in that purchases I make on the ATV are shuttled off to my computer even before I have a chance to watch them. Nothing remains on the AppleTV except (strangely) a show I bought from iTunes months before I ever got the ATV. In order to watch anything, I have to either leave my computer turned off between the time I order and watch it; or I have to have my computer on in order to stream the show back to the ATV. I like the idea of syncing with the computer as a backup solution, but the ATV should be designed to prefer to keep unwatched material on its hard drive until some threshold storage level has been reached, and then it should move off older shows to make room for newer ones.

  • Unable to play/transfer new purchases

    I just purchased 4 songs. 2 downloaded properly to my lap top and ipod and the other 2 have an exclamation point after the numbered song under my purchases. Also, I can not drag them to my ipod nor can I play them on my computer. When I try to play them on the laptop, a window pops up and says"original file could not be found, would you like to locate it?" Yes, I click, then a bunch of numbers come up and I have no idea what to do after that. Help!! I am VERY frustrated!!!

    See if you can find the file on your hard drive with these directions.

  • How do I disable transfer of purchases to my iPad when syncing?

    Hello all. Let me preface this buy saying that I am an Apple software support person with over 15 years of experience (11 of that working for a Apple specialist).
    Is there anyway to disable the automatic transfer of purchased items when syncing my iPad? I have looked around and no one seems to want to give an answer. They go on and on about how Apple wants you to transfer purchases and you really should let iTunes do this. I know all these things, but I am looking for an answer. Can this be turned off?
    Thanks in advance for an answer (hopefully).
    Kurt.

    If you mean go to iTunes preferences and under the store setting, make sure the choices of always check for downloads is "unckecked", I have been through that already. Any other ideas?

  • How to import new purchases on Computer to iPod?

    I have a late 2006 model of iPod. I connect it to a PC Windows 8 (GRRRRRRR!). Has worked well for years. Use it while traveling (Air flights; rental cars, etc). Today, it will not automatically import new purchased songs to the iPOD. I have them and they will play on the Computer but don't show nor will they play on the iPOD. Any suggestions?

    hello hugo,
    do you want to
    1) define a new SyncBo or 
    2) add a field to an existing SyncBo object?
    in case 1) you need to have a BAPI wrapper for your
    backend BAPI. you can then create a SyncBo object
    specifying at least your GETLIST/GETDETAIL BAPI wrappers.
    and then perform the necessary field mapping.
    for case 2) you just have to modify the FIELD mapping of
    your existing SyncBo.
    you can use SyncBo builder to do this.
    tcode: merep_sbuilder

  • HT203167 I set up a pc with iTunes and have my library but cannot get to new purchases, I get a pop up that says "computer not authorized" How do I authourize?

    I set up an PC with iTunes and have my library but cannot get it to transfer new purchases, I get a pop up that states "computer not authorized" how do I authorize computer? account originated on a Mac

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • Program to transfer new files to my external HD? (Not Time Machine)

    Is there a program that I can download to automatically transfer new files that add to my MacBook to my external hard drive when I connect it? A program that will not delete files off of my hd that are no longer on my MacBook-unless I delete them myself? I want this program for extra storage, so once I no longer need files immediately I can delete them off my MacBook, but still have them on my hd for easy access... So as to say I would like a program to make copies rather than files that I need to restore to use.

  • HT1977 How do I transfer my purchased iTunes apps and media to a new computer?

    I bought a new computer, and I wanted to download iTunes and start using it to manage my library.  Do I have to transfer all purchased apps to the new computer, or will iTunes do that automatically for me when I sign into my account on the new computer?

    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • HT1848 I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer.  I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time.  I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases.  Help?

    I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer.  I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time.  I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases.  Help?

    If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

  • How can i transfer my new purchased itunes apps to my itunes library

    actually having several problems, installed itunes on a new computer, have transfered/sync all of my existing ipod touch apps/music successfully. I purchased new apps and a movie, but they do not appear on my itunes library, how can i transfer these new purchases, to my new itunes library on the new computer, so they can be synced to my ipod touch. also, my computer is online and my ipod is online, but when i connect the ipod touch to my computer, and i try to update the software update, it says it cant because its not connected to the internet?...any info on either of these topics. thanks

    Welcome to the discussions,
    as already mentioned, use File->transfer purchases to copy your apps and bought media to your computer, or right click on the device in the device list and choose "transfer purchases"
    To make sure that iTunes can contact the Apple server, check your security settings as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
