Can I download my itune purchases directly on to my iphone ?

Previously, I've downloaded lots of iTunes directly onto my iMac (Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8) - I bought a new iPhone 5 today.... can I (re) download my previous purchases directly onto my phone? (I don't think my current OS on my iMac supports iCloud- or I'd do it that way). please advise. Thank you!

If you purchased them in iTunes and you have the same Apple ID on both devices, you can go to the purchased tab in iTunes on your iPhone and download them there.  Or you can connect your iPhone to your computer and sync them via iTunes sync to your iPhone.  Personally, I'd do it via iTunes sync on your computer as it's much faster.

  • How can I download previous iTunes purchases onto a new iPod using someone else's computer?

    Hi,
    I've brought an ipod shuffle and need to download my itunes purchases but I don't have access to my own computer for another couple weeks.  How can I download from itunes?  I'm getting a message that the friend's computer I'm using can't use a different apple ID for 90 days - I'll be long gone by then and back with my own computer!!!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Multiple people can indeed use multiple Apple IDs on the same computer in multiple user accounts as long as they do not use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-download any past purchases. However, if you'll read the KB article I posted a link to you'll see that for the purposes of those services a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. If the OP associates their friend's computer with their Apple ID and downloads purchases from the purchase history the owner of the computer will be locked out from using iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-downloading any past purchases.
    It's not that the friend will be unable to use iTunes at all, but what the OP wants to do will associate their friend's computer to thier Apple ID for 90 days which may cause the friend some inconvinence.

  • How can I download previous iTunes purchases from older apple id after my Mac is associated with my current one?

    I have 4 MacBooks running MtnLion, iPad3, iPhones 2,3gs,4,and 4s,Time Capsule, and Apple TV....
    I have 2 Apple IDs [email protected], and [email protected]
    Almost all of my media is associated with gmail Apple ID. I want to retrieve my previous purchases, but don't need this Apple id aside from that.
    All of my computers and devices are associated with [email protected] id (I've set automatic downloads on all devices for [email protected])
    Now itunes will not let me download purchases I made on [email protected] for 60 days.....
    I actually wiped my 15" Mac pro, installed MtnLion and set it up with the me@gmail Apple ID (both icloud and itunes) just to get my previous itunes purchases. I downloaded about half, and then got sidetracked. Now when I go into itunes on it and try to download the rest, it says this computer is associated wth another apple id and can't download for 60 days!!!
    I tried deauthorizing, but to no end.

  • HT201272 Switched to new Mac (10.7.5) and now can't download any iTunes purchases.

    Since I've switched to my new Mac, I can't download any of the (music) purchases I make. (I used a cable between the two Macs to make the original transfer of "all my stuff" from the old Mac to the new, so the iTunes stuff I had then is on the new Mac.)
    I can see the download buttons, but when I push them, it stops it immediately and tells me I don't have the authority to do it.
    I'm the sole person on the iTunes account. It doesn't matter whether I make the purchase on the new or the old computer. I even tried deauthorizing the old computer, so that the only one on the account is the new one, and it still won't let me download what I purchase. I did find something where I originally only had Read privileges, but I added Write as well, so that should be OK. Not sure what else to try.

    OK, I'm replying to my own question, because I've figured it out... sort of.
    It seems that when I transferred computers, it set up my e-mail/Apple ID as a separate user! Why it did this, I have no idea.
    I went into the User folder and found that I was barred from accessing any of the stuff under that ID. It was not enough to simply give myself Read & Write permission; I also had to use the little pulldown under the gear symbol that applied it to all the items IN the folder.
    No idea why It would do this, but now it seems to have downloaded my stuff—at least some of it. (I know that one album is missing a song—?!) I'll have to check more completley later to make sure that it's ALL there.

  • Can I share my itunes purchases with my wife's iphone?

    I have an extensive collection of music both ripped and purchased from itunes. Since the music is purchased under my account the songs play on my iPhone. I would like my wife to have the same music collection on her phone. Is it possible to have her play my purchased music on her phone if she is syncing to her iphone with my computer/music library.
    Gabe

    Let me be a bit more clear. I am able to sync to her phone the music from my library but when she tried to play any of the music purchased from itunes the song will not play. What am I missing?

  • If I purchase a movie from AppleTV can I download to iTunes?

    If I purchase a movie from AppleTV can I download to iTunes?

    Thanks... that was my thinking.  When I go to iTunes on Mac there is no "Purchased" section for Movies... there is one for Music and TV Shows... and in iTunes on iPad there is a section there as well for Purchased Movies... so how can you get to Purchased Movies in iTunes.. only option is to buy... if I press buy will it tell me I already bought it and let me download it?  don't want to get charged twice for the same movie.

  • HT201272 i upgraded to 5c and i can't download ring tones purchased in 2012 on itunes.  help

    i upgraded to 5c and i can't download ring tones purchased in 2012 on itunes.  help

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library, and/or on your backup of your downloads/library that you should have been keeping and maintaining - if you have then you can sync them to your phone from that.

  • Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

    Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

    You can download the music from iCloud using the download arrows besides the songs - see the iTunes help:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides anyprevious iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.

  • How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

    How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

  • How can I get my itunes purchases to play on any mp3 player?

    I can't get my itunes purchases to play on my other mp3 players.  I don't want to download these programs people suggest on the internet.
    And really, I shouldn't have to. If I've already paid for the music, why can't I put it on the device I choose?  There must be a way. Any help? BTW, I'm using Windows Vista, (yuk)

    You can put the music on any device you choose, as long as the device can play the format. Purchases from the iTunes Store are in industry-standard AAC format. If you want to use them on a player that can only handle MP3, you need to convert the tracks. See:

  • Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone use iTunes on my Mac without a problem? I have no music on the Mac because it is new. Can I download music onto iPhone on both PC and Mac?

    Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
    I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone.  When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do.  I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working.  I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it.  So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?

    StoneMountainGirl,
    No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time.  If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
