Can I transfer my purchased items to a new apple device

My 3rd Generation Ipod Touch stopped working recently and it looks like it can't be repaired and is no longer any use, I am wondering if it is possible to recover my downloaded / purchased items onto an new Ipod Touch?
I plugged it into charge in a mains wall charger and was actually using it as well, next there was a pop from the charger and the Ipod went off. I contacted a repair clinic and they suggested it may just be the battery might have gone pop, so I left it to them the investigate. They were unable to do anything with it.

The iTunes backup does not included synced media like apps and music. If iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Since iTunes can't see your old iPod you can't get anything off the iPod.

How can i transfer my purchased items to a new apple ID?

I currently have an apple ID that i use for all my iMessages and everything else i do except for my app and itunes purchase. I know we don't have the option to merge 2 apple Id's yet so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer what I've already purchased to the other apple ID i have. In a sense merging by transferring everything over.

There is no way to merge or transfer anything to another AppleID. The App Store license also specifies that purchases cannot be transferred.

How do I transfer previously purchased items to a new apple ID?

is there a way to transfer items purchased under one apple ID to a newly-created apple ID?

No.

When attempting to purchase a song from i-tunes that was on an old ipod that I had to replace, the song is marked as 'purchased' and grayed out. Is there a way that I can download these previously purchased items onto my new ipod?

Lori,
If you upgrade to iTunes 10.3, you can redownload your past purchases from the iCloud. Just go to the home page of the iTunes Store and click on "Purchased" under "Quick Links." It will bring up a list of your past purchases that are not currently in your library, with a little arrow icon that lets you download.

Your contacts should be on your computer.
Not sure what you are asking.

My computer crashed and I lost all of my I-tunes folder, how can I download my purchased items onto my new laptop

When i went to the itunes store it was asking me to pay for it again, help please!!!

When you buy items from iTunes, it's downloaded to your computer, yours to keep, and to make a backup of.
I have some advice here that might help you recover your music.
Recovery options:
A: If Windows isn't booting:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
or
burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
(If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice
Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.

I'm wondering if ichat can be used to do imessages on the newer apple devices?

Hello, I was just wondering if ichat on the older computer would be compatible with imessages on the newer computers and other apple devices, like ipads and ipod touchs and the newer computers in the house. The older computer has os x version 10.4.11, it has ichat on it. I was wondering if ichat was not compatible with imessages on the newer devices, can someone tell me, thanks.

Hi,
iChat Is compatible with the Messages App on Mountain Lion and Above.
BUT... Only in the accounts it already has.
That is to say that if you have iChat 5 in Snow Leopard you have the ability to have AIM and Jabber Accounts (which include GoogleTalk and Facebook Chat IDs).
If you have iChat 6 in Lion then you also have the Yahoo option.
All have the LAN based Bonjour account.
If people with Messages are only using the iMessages accounts then iChat cannot join these conversations.
As you mention iPads and other iOS devices I presume you mean this option which will not work for you.
iChat 3 - 5
iChat 6

How can I transfer my purchased songs onto a new itunes?!

Hi,
So recently my laptop was wiped 'cos it had a load of issues and when it came back they'd put the songs back on itunes but all my playlists and settings had gone.
My phone is now reading the iTunes library as a new one, which is fine because I've got my playlists sorted and stuff so I was planning to just sync it again BUT I have a bunch of songs on my iPhone that I bought, that once I sync up to the 'new' library will disappear because they aren't on the library on my PC!!!
Is there any way I can move them over or save them or something? I really don't want them to go!

Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library.

How can i transfer my purchased update onto my new laptop?

How can I down load my past purchases onto my new laptop

Is this a purchase of ExportPDF? If so, there is nothing to transfer, it's just something on the web. Log in with the same Adobe ID, job done.
If it's something else, what is it?

Transfer of purchased items

My kids have been on my itunes account since they were young. They now both have their own computers and want their own account. Is there a way to transfer their purchased items from my account to their individual account? Do they loose all of their purchased items when they create their own account? Do they essentially have to start from scratch?

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, then no, there is no way to transfer any item from your iTunes Store account to theirs. You will need to have their computers authorized to your iTunes Store account to them to be able to use their already-purchased content (music tracks should not need authorization) or get updates to apps, though they can make future purchased through their own iTunes Store accounts.
Regards.

Where can I send an email to iTunes so that they can resend me my purchased items? I just got a new laptop (switched from a PC to a Mac) help would be appreciated.

Email itunes support! Or you could just transfer your purchases. Either w/ external drive, or w/ you iphone/ipod/ipad!

Can i transfer itunes purchase from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

can i transfer itunes purchases from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

When I connect my iPhone to my computer, I get the message that a newer version of iPhone software is available. However, when I click on the link to download and install the software, I get the message "There are purchased items on the iPhone that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone." How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

You may need to enable the Menu Bar.
In the upper right hand corner, there should be a small box, half dark colored and half light, with a small arrow next to it. Click there, and choose "Show Menu Bar" from the resulting menu. At that point, you should be able to select File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, as explained by roaminggnome.
A second option you have is to show the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar. After this is done, right click on your device in the sidebar, and "Transfer Purchases" should be an option.
Please refer to this article for more information

I am on a shared computer with several profiles. I had to delete my profile and create a new one. Now, my question. It transferred to Purchased Items to the new iTunes, so how do I get the rest of the songs to transfer to new iTunes?

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
