Can I transfer music bought in the Irish itunes store onto my new computer even though my account is now registered to a UK credit card?

I am from Ireland and bought the majority of my itunes library in the Irish store before I moved to the UK. The account is still the same however the country in which I am using itunes store is now different (e.g. I was using the Irish store with an Irish card and now I'm using the Uk store with a British card). My old computer crashed erasing the library but I still have it all on my iPad. If I plug my iPad into my new computer and itunes asks me to transfer purchases, will the Irish songs transfer or will my library get erased and ill just be left with the 100 songs I have bought while living in the UK?

You'll need access to your brother's Apple ID account name and password to transfer his purchases from the iPod to your own iTunes library. Purchased made with one Apple ID are permanently tied to that Apple ID. You won't be able to move or add them to your own Apple ID account.

How can I transfer my pictures off an old iPod touch to my new computer if it doesn't recognized the device??

- Does the iPod work?
- If you have a PC, it just has to appear in My Computer to get pohtos saved to the iPod. Those are in iPod's Saved Photos) album into a computer
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- If the photos were synced to the computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or Phone view to get to to a computer.

Podcasts that I had subscribed to with my old computer are invisible in the iTunes store on my new computer. The error message says the podcast is not available in the US. Yet I could still download the podcast on my old computer before I switched. How can I fix this?

Hello, ted_marx38.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID. If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
Amazon allows it, iTunes does not. That is why. Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public. It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true. Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
Sorry

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Can't transfer items bought on iphone to itunes

I'm getting a notice there's a new version of my iphone OS. But when I click on update, it tells me I have items I purchased on my iphone that haven't been transferred to my itunes library and I should do that before updating. So I go to the tabs for music/apps/ etc., but can't transfer anything without clicking the "sync" box. But when I click on Sync, I get a message that if I enable Sync, all existing items on my iphone will be replaced with the items in my library. So I can't transfer items without syncing, but if I sync, those items will be deleted and replaced with what's in the library.
This is ridiculous. It's a classic Catch 22. How can I transfer my items I bought with my phone to itunes so I can update the OS???

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If your sister doesn't know the password for her old ID, and if her old ID is an earlier version of her current ID, she needs to temporarily recreate the old ID so you can delete if from your phone using her current password. To do this, have her go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with her current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to her old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to her old email address. You can now use the password for her current ID to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for her old account ID. After you do this, Next, have your sister recreate her current ID again by going back to https://appleid.apple.com and changing her primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
Then your can save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to the camera roll on your device, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. You will be prompted to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your device. If the data is already in another account you can choose Delete. If you need to migrate it to another account, choose Keep, then choose Merge when signing into the new account.

ITunes can't locate the songs that I bought from the iTunes store on my new computer

I just got a new computer today and I backed up all my songs from old computer onto an external hard drive. When I sent my songs over onto my new computer and freshly downloaded iTunes, the songs that I actually purchased from the iTunes store won't play. It says that the item cannot be located.

Hello, brandma4.
More than likely iTunes was set to read the media on the external drive. If this is the case and the drive is not connected when attempting to play music, you will receive these alerts. The other possibly is that iTunes is not directed to where you placed the media on the computer. Here are the best troubleshooting articles that direct you on how to correct this issue.

thanks :-)

Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to youir new computer along with all other important data, and where is the backup for your old computer that should include your iTunes library along with all other important data?
Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. This is why Apple doesn't provide a way to transfer these photos in the opposite direction and why photos available on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - iTunes library, documents, etc.
There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but the original resolution of these photos will be forever lost, and the same for transferring music from your iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes store.

Can I buy a song from the German iTunes Store while in the U.S.?

I'm from the US and have and buy all my music through the iTunes store. However, there's a song I want only available in the Deutchland iTunes store. It's .99 Euro. Anyone tried doing this? Is it possible? And does it equate to around $1.60 or whatever the exchange rate is? Thanks.

It can be done but it's a pain.
I'm a dual Canadian/US citizen. I move back and forth between the two.
To purchase from itunes in more than one country you need more than one account.
I set up my US account while I was in Canada, so you don't need to be in the Germany to buy from Germany. You do need a German itunes gift card and a mailing address in Germany.
I have a legitimate US address, but to the best of my knowledge the address isn't really verified. I'm not suggesting you do anything dishonest, but when you have ties to two countries residency can be a vague concept.
The really annoying part is itunes, and your ipod, will only recognize one account at a time. I have found that when I sync logged into my Canadian account apps purchased from the American store are disabled, even if they were already on the ipod.
Apple's licensing protection is not unbiased, I haven't yet had any problems when I sync logged into the US store.
Personally I think blocking content you've already purchased violates the consumer's rights.

How can I download an app only appearing on the German iTunes store onto my German iPad which is registered in the U.S. iTunes store? G

I am an American living in Germany, and own a German iPad. It has the ability to connect both to WIFI and to a commercial over the air wireless network.For the latter connection, I want to use a pay by use (by the day, or by the month) account offered by ALDI, a German discount grocery store. This would be ideal for occasional use when away from home.
My iPad is registered with the U.S. iTunes store, so that I can purchase American items such as books, movies, TV serites, etc. in English with U:S: Dollars.
However the ALDI app is not available on the U.S. iTunes store, i.e. it is only available on the German iTunes store.
I have purchased the ALDI SIM card for my iPad, but need the ALDI app in order to make it work.
Yes, I know ALDI has stores in the U.S., but they do not offer the app I need to connect to the applicable German wireless cell phone network that is based in Germany.
I need to find a way to put the German app onto my German iPad, but do not want to switch to the German iTunes store from the American iTunes store.
I could put the SIM card in a smart phone to activate it and also to recharge it with purchased time, but would need to find a way to tell the iPad to connect to the Web via the SIM card.
I have a radio device which holds a SIM card and plugs into the USB port on my Microsoft Windows systuem laptop computer, and it works like a charm. however, when I set it up, it downloaded software onto my laptop - or maybe only to the SIM card - not sure. To logon, when it is plugged into my laptotp, a program opens and I have to insert a password in order to activate the connection, which uses credit loaded onto the chip.
Can anybody solve this problem?

You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

How can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPhone without using a computer/iTunes?

Disclaimer: I am actually asking this for a family member, but I don't have an answer for her either.
My family member has an iPad with music on it currently. This music is music bought from iTunes and music bought from other sources.
Her computer died a few months ago and she does not intend on replacing it.
She just bought an iPhone and would like to copy the music from her iPad to her new iPhone.
I had originally thought that iTunes Match would work for this, but the Apple Support article regarding iTunes Match (iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match) suggests that it requires a computer w/ iTunes to do the initial update.
I'm willing to consider approaches from either, Apple or third-party.
If it helps, her iPad and iPhone are both running iOS 7.

The answer is, "you don't".
Music other than that purchased from the iTunes store had to be synced to the device using iTunes on a computer. The media should still exist on that computer. She can use the computer to sync the music to the new device.
An iPad or iPhone is NOT a backup device. In order to set it up to sync to a new computer were she to replace hers, the media on the device would have to be erased before anything could be synced to it. Media synced to the device can not be synced back to a computer (without purchasing 3rd party software). Without a computer and iTunes, it's not possible to transfer media from one iDevice to another, even with 3rd party software.
