Buying music and apps on iPhone and on iTunes

Ok, so for the past while, iTunes has been unable to recognize my iPhone and therefor, i havnt been syncing it to my iTunes library. What I have been doing is redeeming iTunes cards on my iPhone and buying music and apps directly on it. Now I finally got around to updating my iTunes, and it recognizes my iPhone. Is there anyway to sync my iPhone to my libary, without losing the musics and apps ive purchased on using the iTunes and App Store apps on my iPhone?

Authorize the computer from the Store menu if needed, connect the iPhone, and choose Transfer Purchases from the dialog box which appears or the File menu.

  • My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

    Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

  • I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs.

    I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs. 397 Apps 759 Songs over 100 Videos 13 books 3 IPhones 2 IPods So here is my problem with ITunes I purchased an App and it is identical to one I have already brought. The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do. I wrote sup[port and asked if they could issue a credit. Mari at support wrote back and said he checked with his supervisor and they could not issue a credit.  I told them what a good loyal customer I have been to Itunes and Apple and they still refused.  Granted the App did not cost a lot of money (3.99) but it’s the principle. With customers having options to shop anywhere I would think a business would do whatever it takes to retain the loyal customers they do have Occasionally I rush to buy an App without fully understanding if it meets my needs. According to ITunes support that has occurred nine times. Here is the last reply that I received Roger, I know how frustrating it can be when things don't work the way they should be  and I do apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. I am sorry but we could not be able to grant your request as we have made 9 exceptions on you. For more information on Apple's requirements for using the iTunes Store, please refer to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html Again, I am hoping for your kind understanding regarding this matter. Sincerely Mari iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor

    "The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do."
    You've already had 9 refunds? You understand that apps are sold on a non-return policy, presumably. You bought an app that didn't claim to do something that you wanted from it, and now that you've found that it doesn't, you want your money back.
    Perhaps you've failed to explain your point properly but I can't see why you expect any sympathy from users here, not that it would make any difference. Only the store staff can issue refunds if they think appropriate. Chalk it up to experience. You could even contact the developer in advance of a purchase if you want to be certain an app does what you want. Then if it really fails to live up to the promise you would at least have a better argument for a refund.

  • I do not see the option to buy music and movies in my iTunes Store, India

    Doesn't iTunes India have the options to buy music and movies. I just get the apps, podcasts and iTunes U as the options. what am I missing???

    The question has been asked and answered many times in these forums, but again, Apple has not been able to obtain the rights to sell music and movies in India. When, or indeed if, they will ever be able to do so, none of us here can know.
    Regards.

    The pass 4 days now my iTunes Store is not responding, when I reload it all that comes up is a blank white page that says iTunes Store. Help please!!!! Cannot load my gift card to buy music and such!!!

    I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS!  I can now access the Itunes Store.  A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
    Below is the advice you forwarded:
    I found a solution to my problem.
    > start menu
    > accessories,
    > right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
    Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter
    You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
    Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
    Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

  • HT4913 When I go to Settings- Music and slide ITunes Match to Off, it still appears as On under ITunes and App Stores in the Settings menu. Once I turn this off, on returning to the Music menu under Settings, ITunes Match still shows as on. What to do?

    When I go to Settings->Music and slide ITunes Match to Off, it still appears as On under ITunes and App Stores in the Settings menu. Once I turn this off, on returning to the Music menu under Settings, ITunes Match still shows as on. What to do?

    I (though am not sure what happened) solved the problem. Under show all I had both videos and music selected as on. I turned off videos and ..hey presto..the slider reappeared.

    Crich,
    The usual reasons for an Apple ID getting disabled are either unauthorized activity or violations of the Terms & Conditions. 
    Submit your request to iTunes Customer Service and if appropriate, they will re-enable it.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?

    How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?
    I mean to say that I downloaded mp3 songs from websites (not from iTunes) which I synced in my iPhone 4 using ''Manaually Manage Music''.
    Now I am in my homecountry for vacations and don't have the laptop in which my iTune library is synced and I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted.
    Please help!

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    " I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted."
    That is correct.

  • I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

  • Travelling 5 Months to 7 Countries - Want to Buy Music and Apps

    Am I reading right that after I paid $900 for an iPad with 3G/64GB...Apple will not let me buy apps or music etc.on my travels?? I bought the iPad because I travel...and NEED this ability to buy on a global basis. What the heck is going on????????? There are gonna be a lot of other peeved people travelling with a iPads, iPhones, MacBooks etc. that will need to buy where ever they are. About now I am gritting my teeth......saying not so kind words about Mr.Jobs and Apple!! Someone tell me that Apple will have a Global itunes site please!. Surely I should be able to buy credits and draw on them...

    Just to make things clear: the only credentials iTunes cares about is your credit card billing address. Whatever country you have your credit card statements sent to, that's the store you're allowed to use. Should it be UK, you can register to UK store only, Germany, France etc. Every store differs a bit due to legal conditions, the best in the EU is obviously the UK store.
    Big difference between music/films and apps - appstores are open for every country iPhones are officially distributed to. Music/film stores are limited to very few EU countries, Japan and the US in brief.
    Technically, nobody cares where you actually are when purchasing from the store, it's irrelevant.
