Can't add apps to my iTunes Library??

Hey!
OK, so I have a bunch of apps and music that is not in my iTunes because I bought them directly on my iPod. When I plugged my iPod into my computer I tried to take the apps off of my iPod and put them onto my iTunes but it won't let me:(
How do I take apps off of my iPod and put them onto my iTunes?
If I sync my iPod with my iTunes, it says that all of my apps on my iPad will be deleted:(
Please help me.
Thanks!

Try here:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Note the computer has to be authorized for the iTunes account that purchased them.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • Can't find app option on itunes library

    while i have installed times itunes on my windows 8 but still i can't get my applications on library or while inside the options in iphone too while connected to my lap

    It looks like the apps aren't in your iTunes library.
    Transfer them from your device:
    After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu (ALT+F), then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
    or
    Download them from the iTunes Store:
    Go to the iTunes Store and select Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right, sign in and select Apps then Download All on the bottom right

  • A friend mailed me a flash drive with music on it from his pc...  mostly wma files.  How can I add these to my itunes library?

    My friend created a BIG music file on his pc then saved it to a flash drive.  It is mostly wma files..  how can I add this to itunes library?

    Install Flip4Mac's WM Components (from their download page), required to play WMA in QuickTime, the Finder's preview column, and many other applications -- but not iTunes!
    Open your WMA file in QuickTime Player (Pro version required), then save as reference movie.
    Drag the newly created .mov file onto iTunes. Now you can play it as you would any other song.
    Some metadata is copied to the QuickTime file, and you can edit/add tags in iTunes. Remember to keep the original WMA files in place, as your reference .mov files still point to them. If you don't mind one more conversion step, you can then liberate your WMAs within iTunes. Select your WMA songs in iTunes, go to the Advanced Menu, click Convert selection to MP3/AAC, then enjoy your music on the iPod.

  • Can not add movies to the iTunes Library

    I have an iMAC running iTunes 10.4 on s install of Lion.  I have had this problem with previous versions of OS/X and iTunes. I have the exact same problem on Windows.
    I just can not import a movie to the library.  I've used File>Import as well as drag&drop. In both cases, nothing happens; no message of any kind, no progress bar, nothing.  The movie is not copied.  I have tried multiple file types (avi, mp4, mv4 etc) with the same problem.  I can import music fine. Just no movies.
    One time, a couple days ago, I used the drag and drop and worked; I have no idea why; Trying to import the same movie results in the same 'nothing happens'.
    Any thoughts/suggestions on how to get this working?  It is so annoying that there is absolutely no message of any kind popping up anywhere to indicate what the heck is going on.
    I'm guessing it may be something to do with unsupported file types. But why no message, and why it did work just a couple of days ago?
    Thanks.

    To address at least part of the problem, confirm is that the videos are in a format iTunes can accept and play. AVI is not one of them, for instance. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
    Note that there are non-standard formats that still use the .mp4 file extension. iTunes supports only industry-standard MPEG-4 movies, not the offshoots created by some encoders such as Microsoft's.
    Why a movie that worked previously is not working now, though, I don't know. Just to confirm, will that movie play in QuickTime Player?
    Regards.

  • Can't add files to my iTunes library

    Since the iTunes 11.0 update, I have had problems with my iTunes library.  That update deleted my whole podcast library.  I have been able to recreate most of it.  However, some of the podcasts were not available in iTunes store so I have downloaded them from the website.  Then I move the file to the correct folder  After downloading them, one of two things happen.  Either I get the message that the file cannot be found and asks if I want to iTunes to locate it.  In that case, I just click on the file and the podcast gets added.  However, if I add a new file to my library, nothing happens.  I click File>add file to library and nothing happens.  When I go back to the folder where I put the file, the file is gone.
    How do I add the file?

    Hello dear,
    Just follow my lead and your problem would be solved in no time ..
    1.Bring the file/video you want to import to iTunes on your desktop screen and make sure it's in .mp4 format.
    2.Right click on the file/video and click on "Properties". and Uncheck "Read Only" option in the Bottom.
    3.Open iTunes and enable HomeSharing.
    4.Now again right click on the file/video and chose "Open With" and choose iTunes as default (You can change the default later on).
    5.iTunes will automatically pop-up and after some 10 secs, the video will begin.
    6.Close the video, and you will notice that the video/file is now added in your library.
    7.You could simply drag this file/video to any of your iDevice.
    8.Darg and drop the file/video on the right sidebar.

  • Can't add movies to my ITunes Library

    I have spent the last hour attempting to add some movies to my ITunes library. These files are all in mp4 format.
    I have never had trouble before today, but whether I try to add them to the library through the menu, or drag and drop, nothing happens.
    I have the most recent ITunes software and am using a MacBook Pro with Lion.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Convert the movie to mp4 (even though it is already mp4) with MPEG Streamclip or Handbrake (both free programs).
    Do you mean save the mp4 movie as mp4? Converting (vs. saving it) it just results in more quality loss as the streams are re-coded again.
    HB only does full re-coding (I don't know about the newest version). Streamclip lets you save a mp4, basically repackaging the existing streams without recoding.  Mind you, those streams still have to be something iTunes finds acceptable.  iTunes isn't really designed as a comprehensive video player since its video capabilities evolved at the same time Apple started selling movies, so it's up to the reader to figure out where the development priorities lay.

  • How can I remove apps from my itunes library in version 11.0.0.163? The checkbox is no longer there in the new version and I do not see a drop down menu.

    In the new iTunes version 11.0.0.163 I tried to delete a free app but it still shows after I deleted it from all my Apple devices. The checkbox in the previous version of iTunes does not seem to be present in the new version and I do not see a drop down menu. And there are no Help menu choices either. I guess, I will otherwise wait for the new update to iTunes as of 12.10.2012.

    With iTunes 11 on PCs the drop-down menus are hidden by default - control-B should get the menus to show
    This screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC :

  • Can I add pix to my iTunes library? What all can I have in library?

    What formats of stuff like .txt./pix/vids

    iTunes cannot hold pictures. Its support of pictures is limited to the iPod's linked folder for syncing, and art that is embedded in songs.
    .txt files are not supported. Text can be stored inside of song files, as comments or lyrics.
    Video can be in MP4, MPEG or MOV.
    iTunes also supports PDF.

  • Apps not on iTunes library but on iPhone 5S

    Note: when I first created this message a screwup on the keyboard posted the message before I had written more than two sentences.  I hope no one responded to my incomplete message.
    For some time now when I elect to install a new iOS release (not at 7.1.1), iTunes always tells me (both iPhone 5S snd iPad Mini) that there are apps on the iOS device that are not from my iTunes library?  Since I install all apps throught iTunes or from the iOS device purchase, how can this be.  I have never broken into iOS to install except by the standard accepted Apple process. 
    So far, each time, I cancel the update, do a full backup of the device to my desktop computer iTunes (version 11.1.5 (S)).  This time after the backup sync, iTunes transfers 56 purchased apps from my phone according progress status in iTunes. 
    Several questions:
       1.  How can I get a list of all the apps in my library AND all the apps on my iOS device, so I can know what I've got in case things get corrupted so I can do a complete restore.
       2.  Why is it reporting apps that are not in my iTunes library.  Every app on my devices were purchased in ITunes on my iMac desktop (OS X 10.9.2) or from the app store icon on my devices home screen?
    Without the list I asked for, I'm afraid taht if things go 'south' I won't be able to get back all the apps I purchased.  There are so many apps in the store (not a compllaint but an observation on the size of the task), that I have no idea how I would know which are missing.
    How can I get this fixed so I can backup my devices and be confident that I won't lose things.  I allow backup from WiFi (my personal WiFi in my home) when the iOS device is attached to the power.  This happens nightly for my iPhone when I put it in the charge by my bed.  And at  least weekly for my iPad which I plug in as it needs charging. 
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Well, your post is very long, so I didn't read the whole thing in detail.
    But here are the answers to your two questions.
    1.  You can see the apps in your iTunes library by clicking the "Apps" tab toward the upper left of iTunes (it may say "Music" to begin ... then there is a drop down list).  You can see all the apps on your iOS device in one of two ways:
    a.  Swipe through the various home screen pages on your iOS device and note them.
    b.  While your iPhone is plugged into iTunes, click the "Apps" tab behind the iPhone's summary tab.
    2.  Assuming every one of your apps was purchased using the same Apple ID and password, apps that were purchased or updated on your iOS device will not appear in your iTunes library until you back up the iOS device.  You can get apps that you purchase on your iOS device to download automatically to iTunes by doing iTunes > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps = "check" from iTunes.  But I don't think this would capture app updates.
