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.

I bought TVshows on one computer and i need them on another help!

I had around 10 TV shows bought on iTunes but then my computer stoped working. Now i cant get to it on that computer so now i need to get to them on this one but i cant figure it out thanks in advance!

imho the best solution for that:
Set iTunes Preferences Burning to "DATA CD/DVD" & burn your videos onto such a disk.
A DATA CD/DVD is also a perfect backup.
But any other kind storage may be used for transferring videos/audio tracks as well: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93366

How do you Take songs from one iTunes library and put them on another(Mac)

Well i have some songs that i don't really listen to anymore so i don't want them on my library or any of my ipods but i don't want to delete them because i bought them so i want to put them on another itunes library i created but i cant figure out how to take them out of my library and put them on the other one
how do you do that?

Open your other library, go to File>Add to library and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to add. Once they are in your new library delete them from the other library making sure that when you get the prompt to move them to trash say no. You should also back your purchases up to disc or to an external drive so you don't lose them of anything happens to your hard drive:

How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
1. InitialProposal Stage
2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
3. Rejection Stage
4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
5. Execution Stage
6. Completed Stage
Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1 if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion.
By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
the task).
I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
public string officeComments;
public string officeDescription;
private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
Thank you

Yes, on as many as you own. Just log in with the same Apple ID to the App Shop.

I bought a song on one computer can't access it on another

I bought a song from itunes on my work computer today, tonight I went to download it to my ipod and it isn't showing up in my itunes account how do I acess it?

Of course it is not on your other computer. You have not put it there.
Your music will not magically appear ion other places, just as a cd won't appear in your car and your house. you have to put it there.
You buy one and only one download, it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.

Trying to take songs from one computer to another

I am using iTunes on one computer with three ipods. My mother has a laptop and she wants to put all the songs from my computer onto hers so she can use her ipod on her laptop instead of using mine. I searched online to see how to do it and was told to plug ipod in and click on enable disk use, then I went to my computer and dragged over the artists and songs from my music to the ipod. I then plugged the cord for the ipod into my mothers laptop and dragged each artist into itunes under music. When I tried to eject her ipod it said it was in use so I just left it in. When I had plugged it in a box came up that said that the ipod could only be used on one computer so if I wanted to use it on this new computer I would have to delete it. I thought that's what I was supposed to do so I pressed delete. I went through the songs and took out ones I didn't want and then synced her ipod. I took it out and when I go to play a song that is listed under music in the library it says it can not be found. It only works when I have the ipod connected. My father wants to use the laptop as well and I don't understand what happened. Did I mess it up when I pushed delete? Should I take everything off her ipod and then redo it all on my other computer? I really don't understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me at [email protected] and put something in the subject line about itunes or ipod so I won't delete it. Thanks so much

Although an iPod can be used in disk mode, it is easier to move songs from one computer to another using a USB flash drive.
When the songs are on the computer where you want them, add them to the iTunes library on that computer, and then you will be ready to sync the iPod.

How do I get songs from one computer to another?

I had found it once on apple support, but I'm having trouble finding it again. Can someone tell me how you get your songs from one computer to another? I'm consolidating all the songs from my wife's laptop on to mine so we can share the same library, but I don't know how to get her songs on my computer, and as a result, my iTunes.

Go to the itunes folder and copy all of the songs on to an external hard drive. Then copy them from the hard drive to the other computer
You could also use home sharing which will send the songs over your wireless.

Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

Is your laptop running Windows XP, windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1? If so then I suggest download a tool that will retrieve the serial number from the old laptop which you can use it on your new machine. The tool is called:
Belarc Advisor
It can be downloaded from here:
<http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisorinstaller.exe>
Install this and then run it by double clicking on its icon and then wait for about 5 minutes while it generates all the info about your machine and software keys.

Won't let me transfer purchased songs from one computer to another

The itunes wont let me transfer purchased songs from one computer to the other via home sharing even though both are authorised?

Burn that songs to a *DATA DVD/CD* using iTunes - then take the resulting disk to your desktop computer; that disk will show up in iTunes' left column; drag the songs into your library.
