Bought an album on itunes and its split in two across my computers!!

I bought an album on itunes while on my laptop(mac), well I lost my airport connection half way through downloading it and so came down to my pc(windows) and opened up itunes - so now I have half my album on my pc and half on my laptop!!!!
I have just read in itunes support that I can not use my ipod with both a mac and windows, they have to have the same operating system, so now what am I supposed to do!!!

*I have just read in itunes support that I can not use my ipod with both a mac and windows, they have to have the same operating system*
What format is your iPod? If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Mac formatted iPods can only be used on a PC that has a third party helper program such as XPlay or MacDrive installed: How to determine your iPod's disk format
However Macs can read Windows drives, the iPod shuffle for instance comes Windows formatted and is fully supported. When the article talks of not supporting an iPod across platforms it effectively means that apart from the shuffle you can't update the software for a Windows iPod on a Mac without reformatting. (In the case if the fully supported shuffle, you can update the firmware or restore it on the Mac and it retains it's Windows formatting). I believe the iPod Touch and the iPhone are also platform independent and can be used on the Mac and Windows.
If your iPod is Windows formatted you should be able to use it on both the Mac and the PC as long as you remember the point about updating it's software.

    In iTunes click on your device (Devices section)
    select "Books"
    enable "Sync Audiobooks"
    Sync your device.
    On your device go to the Audio app and go to the "... More" tab.
    You will find the Audiobooks entry there.

    You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p.  I know what I would do.

  • Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines?

    Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines? The Album is Sunshower-EP by UME and the songs are The Conductor and The Means.

    Hey ChandlerAdaway!
    I have an article here that can provide you some guidance for this issue. First, you will want to check for the songs in your past purchases list for your account, if you haven't already:

  • HT201272 I bought an album on itune and it got split into two albums

      Itune display two same cover album with the tracks spread between the two.  How can I merge them? I tried delete and re download...still split. Help.

    Hi Roman2010,
    Sometimes, iTunes may separate songs based on the data stored within the file:
    There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
    - The album names of the songs may differ slightly
    - The songs from the same album may have different artists
    - Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
    The following article may provide a resolution to your issue.:
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • I bought an album on Itunes and three of the songs indicated that there was a eroor in downloading and that the cinnection had been reset.  Those songs won't play.  How do i dothis -do I need to redownload just those songs?

    I bought an album from the Itunes store.  3 songs  indicated that there was a problem in downloading and the connection had been reset.  They will not play.  How do I fix this?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Bought an album from itunes and put it on both my iphone and ipod. The album only plays on the ipod?

    I recently bought a few albums from the itunes store and transferred them to both my iphone and my ipod nano. The songs play on itunes on my computer without a problem. The songs appear on my iphone but they won't play. They play fine on my nano. I didn't know if it's because I had it on 2 i-devices simultaneously so I took the albums off the nano and resync'd both devices. Still won't play on my iphone. I checked all the other albums I bought recently from the itunes store and it's the same issue. A friend suggested deauthorizing/reauthorizing my computer, but that didn't help either. Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • ITunes doesnt list the album songs in order. i bought the album from itunes and managed to fix some songs, but 2 tracks are still out of order

    I bought "Ultraviolence" from iTunes on release day. When I got it, the songs were arranged in order and everything was as it should be. However, ysterday, just 1 day after purchasing the album, the first 5 songs of the album jumped to the back. I was able to return the first 3 songs to their original position, however tracks 4 and 5 are still stuck at the bottom and nothing i do seems to be able to bring them back to where they're suppose to be. Please help me fix this issue..

    I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
    Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?
