  • Can't transfer purchased music from iTunes to iPod

    When I try to transfer purchased music from my Itunes music folder to my iPod, I get the following error message: "Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because the iPod may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
    What I have done to try to address the problem: I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, (it was only after this download, actually, that I began to have the problem) read the help article entitled "Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod", de-authorized and then re-authorized the computer (didn't work) and gone through my iPod to delete any songs that were on burned cds given to me by friends, which potentially originated from other iTunes accounts.
    Perhaps I have overlooked something, but my iPod is only registered on three computers, and I am unable to transfer my purchased music to my iPod. Interestingly, I had no problem transfering my purchased songs onto my iPod before upgrading to the latest version of iTunes last month. It has only been since the upgrade that I can no longer transfer purchases. I subscribe to several podcasts through National Public Radio (free)-- could this be a factor?
    Please help. I still have 19 GB of free space and if I can't transfer purchases, then it's kind of a waste of space. Thanks so much for your time~

    Greetings from Mancunia.
    I am having a similar problem. After years of trouble free use, my 'pod is now giving me trouble, well the new iTunes software is, anyway. See here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=255305&tstart=0
    Why can't I add my new downloaded tunes to my pod? ARRRRGH!
    help me!

  • Can you transfer purchased music from itunes to Musicmatch?

    I like using itunes but my mp3 player isn't compatible. Wondering if all those purchased songs are wasted.

    Your purchases are in protected AAC (m4p) format which is not compatible with any other software but iTunes. You can burn your purchases to an audio CD, that audio CD then can be used like any store bought CD. Hope this helps.

  • How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

    Can anyone tell me how to transfer purchased music from iTunes to my iPod without first downloading to a CD?

    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    Get the latest updates here.
    If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
    EDIT.
    Grrrr......must learn to type faster!

  • Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

    Since the item <Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes> is "locked" (whatever that means - typically, I got an error message when I clicked on the link!!) - I would like to state that despite downloading the iPod updater to deal with this problem, I cannot update my iPod because "the updater does not have a firmware image". I deeply resent not being able to move 100 tracks I have bought and paid for with my hard-earned money to my iPod. I trust that Apple will sort out this mess forthwith.

    I have now solved this problem (almost by accident...).
    Unfortunately, before you can update the iPod software on the older iPods you have to first do a Restore Factory Settings from the iPod updater (otherwise "updater cannot find firmware image'). Let the 'Restore' process run right through (it ends when the iPod fully reboots). You can then run the iPod software updater to Update from iPod 2.2 to 2.3 software, but afterwards you have to recopy all your songs from iTunes into the now empty iPod. I reloaded my iPod last night, and it took about 20-30mins using firewire for c.2400 songs. It worked for me, anyway. And the interface with iTunes is an improvement. Could have done without all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, though. Thank you, Apple.

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

  • Can't copy purchased music from iTunes to iPod(logged into a Windows domain

    I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. I've been using it to manage my music including purchasing music for iTunes.The laptop I'm using I also use it for work and log into a work Domain. I recently purchased an iPod (video) and attempted to transfer music via iTunes. When I manually try to transfer purchased songs only iTunes closes. I can transfer songs that have been imported into the library via CD. I receive a message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
    inconvenience." My user login has administrator rights to the PC (where iTunes is installed). All my music files are kept on an external hard drive. I've called Apple support and reinstalled the software several times with the same results. I did create a new user that logs in to
    the PC (not the work Domain), that can somehow transfer the music to the iPod. But I can not see any folders, playlists, or purchased music that was established when logged on the work Domain. That solution isn't sufficient because I can't normally create different users
    and run iTunes (and other products) this way.
    Anyone encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

    This sounds like an interesting snag - clearly if you can get copied CD tracks onto the iPod there isn't an issue PC to iPod.
    I wonder if the inability to copy downloaded music is related to the very clever stuff Apple do to prevent you writing more than seven copies of those tracks? Just a thought - I have no idea how it all works, but it occurs to me it could get embroiled in network stuff?? If you are friendly with your administrator ask them if you can have a go at connecting your iPod to a computer with admin rights, and see if you get a more helpful error message.

  • Can't transfer purchased music from library to IPod mini

    I have a two year old IPod mini that I haven't used in awhile. We recently had a computer crash and reinstalled the operating system with Windows XP Pro. I no longer have the original CD that came with my IPod when it was purchased. I have been able to download music to my library, however, when I plug my IPod into the computer, I get the message that my IPod sync is complete, and it is ok to disconnect. The problem is that I can't get the music from the library onto my IPod. What am I doing wrong?

    I checked to see what form of software I had for my IPod, it turns out I have the updated version of the IPod software as well as the newest version of I Tunes. I opened my library and plugged my IPod in and hit the sync button, after 5 seconds or so it told me sync was complete, ok to disconnect IPod. I still have no music on the IPod and no idea what the problem could be.

  • Can't download purchased music from iTunes from an authorized Mac

    I went from a PC to a MacBook Pro in September. When I try to play a particular album, it's got that exclamation point after all the songs on it. After doing a lot of research, I think this happened when I was still using my PC. So what I moved to my Mac didn't include this album (and lots of other songs, but this was a fairly recent purchase on my PC). And my backups to Mozy don't have the missing music either. When I go to Purchased in Store, the downloaded is greyed out and I can't download it again to my Mac. My Mac is authorized as one of the 5 allowed. This album is on my iPad, but I've looked everywhere and can't figure out how to sync my iPad to my MacBook as opposed to Mac to iPad. Any suggestions? I'm pretty frustrated. I have lots of missing songs and from looking for my answer here, I see it's a common problem. But I should be able to download it again to my Mac if it's authorized, right? Thanks!

    Bumping for a reply.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • I can't download purchased music from iTunes to my PC

    All of my music is gone from my PC.  I recently did an iPad backup, and for whatever reason, the music is gone from the PC.
    The music is still accessible on my iPad.
    In the iTunes store, when I go to Purchased Music and click on the All tab, all of the songs I have purchased are there, but there isn't a cloud download button available for the songs.
    How do I get the songs back on my PC?

    Bumping for a reply.  Any help would be appreciated.

Any suggestions? thanks!
