Bought songs on another computer

I bought many songs from another computer while in vacation in the US (I bought my ipod there).
Back in france, I cannot make my songs appear in my library, even if my apple account shows all the songs I bought. What should I do and am I abble to buy new songs?
thanks

You should have burned a CD of the songs you purchased on the other computer. If it's a friend or family member, I'd ask them if the songs are still on their computer and if they'll burn you a CD with copies. That's always been the easiest way.
But I believe with later-generation iPods you can also download purchased music from your iPod to your computer, but I believe that requires that the computer you purchased the music on be registered as one of the five computers you're allowed to share music on.

  • Bought songs on another computer that wont play on new computer

    i cant play the songs that i bought on my other computer.there are no exclamation marks.they just wont play.the songs that i bought on my new comp will play.the songs that i bought on my other comp. will play on my ipod just not on my computer.

    I have 87 songs i bought on one computer with ITUNEs 6. I got a new tower, and downloaded ITUNES 7, which went out, found all the songs and sucked them into the new version. When I "synced" my IPOD to the new computer, it won't copy the songs, i don't have permission to have them. &^%$! (*&^#!

  • Bought songs on another computer..can I get them on my home PC?

    I was bored at school one day, so I decided to buy some music at the music store..I did not have the cable hook up, so I couldn't put it back on my iPod..So now I went to my account, and looked in my purchased music folder..but I can't find the music that I bought at school, is there anyway to get it back?

    You'll need to go back to that computer and look in the user's Music -> iTunes folder and see if the tracks are still there. If they are, you can copy them to removable media and take them home. If your school erases the systems, and has done so since you downloaded the tracks, then your tracks are gone and you'll have to buy them again.
    I advise never buying from any download music store using any sort of public computer. All fully legal download music stores carrying major-label content have copy protection that by some means registers tracks to the computer used for download, so using a public/lab computer just make things far too complicated.

  • Is it possible to download songs from another computer?

    I have a new ipod shuffle that i just got it recently. I dont have internet connection currently because I'm travelling. Is it possible to download songs from another computer. My main computer would be my laptop.

    Yes but it would probably overwrite the songs currently on your iPod when it syncs to the new computer.

  • HT1391 Can I get to my purchased songs from another computer???

    Can I get to my purchased songs from another computer????

    As King Penguin alluded to earlier:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • In ITunes when I'm using home sharing if I play the songs on another computer it cuts the songs off maybe 10 seconds plus from the end why is it doing this?

    So I have ITunes Home Sharing on my desktop computer on.  When I go to another computer and play the songs from the Home Share computer the songs get cut off maybe 10 seconds + at the end of the song.  In other words it will not play the last 10 seconds of the song sometimes it's last 5 seconds sometimes its the last 15 seconds it seems to vary.  I can't really find a pattern on the timing but I just don't understand why this is happening please help!

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • Transfer songs to another computer

    My computer crashed, hard drive is toast. I'd like to transfer all songs to Itunes on another computer. The software only allows me to transfer purchased songs. Both an ipod nano and Iphone 4.

           What software!

  • Requesting Airtunes Songs from another computer

    Me and my friend are going to be using the Airtunes feature of the Airport Express for a party. Not many of the people attending have iPhones or iPod touches. Is there a program that can be run on other phones that can request songs? If not, is there a way to request songs from another mac or computer on the network?

    Hello njndirish. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    If not, is there a way to request songs from another mac or computer on the network?
    Yes. You can share items in your iTunes library with up to five other computers on your local network. While your computer is on and iTunes is open, others in your network can play your shared items, but shared items can’t be imported into others’ libraries.
    If you want to import items from other iTunes libraries on other computers in your home, you can turn on Home Sharing. You can use Home Sharing with up to five computers. To use Home Sharing, you must have an iTunes Store account.
    Since this is not really an AirPort networking issue, I suggest that you repost your questions in the iTunes Discussions area to get more relevant responses.

  • How to play songs on another computer when original files is elsewhere.

    Is it possible to just play the songs on my itouch on another computer when connected to itunes? Although, the original mp3 files are all on another computer. I could view all the songs on the music tab when the device is connected but all I get are grayed out text. Would I need another software to do this? Or am I not seeing the hidden option to do so.

    I guess you'll have to switch to "manually manage music" to be able to play the music from your ipod when connected to another computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    Don't forget to disable autosync before connecting to another computer.

  • Bought songs on one computer, want to use them on another

    I used my daughter's account to download songs onto my PC laptop.  I tried to put those songs on my daughter's ipod nano, but the nano is Macintosh formatted so the PC couldn't access it.  I went to my iMac, logged into my daughter's account and went to re-download the album, thinking it would just let let me download again for free, but it's giving no indication that it will do that.  I go to buy and it warns me that I will be charged for the download.  In my account's "Purchase History" it shows that I bought this album yesterday.  So what gives?  The Imac is an authorized computer for this iPod.
    I'm using a Snow Leopard iMac and the old kind of iPod nano that's tall and thin and can't play videos.

    Yes, I have a problem overall.  When I asked where the problem was I was referring to the suggestion that my Mac-formatted iPod had to be restored in order to work with my iMac.  I was asking what problem would necessitate that restoration.
    The fact that the iPod doesn't work on the PC is fine.  I don't care.  I just mentioned it to explain the entire process.  The real issue is my inability to download music I've already purchased it without paying a second time.
    I have logged in to my daughter's account, clicked on PURCHASED and selected CHECK FOR AVAILABLE DOWNLOADS.  When I do that it tells me ALL PURCHASES HAVE BEEN DOWNLOADED FOR THIS ACCOUNT. 
    I see no NOT ON THIS COMPUTER anywhere, and I'm assuming you meant to say  left side as opposed to 'right hand', is that correct?
    _UPDATE_
    As I was typing that last sentence, I checked my iTunes to double check there was nothing on the right side.  I saw the tab marked DOWNLOAD PREVIOUS PURCHASES.  I'd never noticed that before.  Boom, that did it.  So the answer is click on PURCHASED and then DOWNLOAD PREVIOUS PURCHASES in the bottom right corner.

  • Can I use iTunes Match to add songs from another computer

    Now that I have iTunes Match running on my home and work computers can I add songs to my library from either one. I often get (non-iTunes) music while I'm at work and want to put it on my iPhone right away, but since my phone is synced to my computer at home, The only way I've been able to do it is bring the files home, put it on that computer and then load on my iphone. Does iTunes match eleviate this? Is there another way to do it?

    Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation.  As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

  • Uploading songs from another computer

    I am hoping that someone can help with with these - I can generally work stuff out, but can't find this anywhere.
    I have a friend who has bought an ipod for their daughter, but their computer is not connected to the internet. I have offered to set up on my home computer, but can the child access music from a friends computer without losing their original content? and Can she use itunes on her computer to upload CD's without being connected to the net?
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you just drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod
