I was given an MP4 player (no name brand from ebay)and an itunes gift card the problem i seem to be having is that I can transfer the songs that are already in itunes to my MP4 player but when i transfer the purchased songs it shows them on the MP4 when connected to my computer but they dont show up on the MP4 when playing songs, any help would be great. thanks Tamwah

Except for iTunes Plus content, purchased files from the iTunes Store cannot be used on a portable device other than an iPod, iPhone, and a handful of Motorola cellphones.

  • I cant transfer my songs from old iphone to new iphone wont load into library

    I cant transfer my songs from my iphone 3gs to my new 4s they wont load into the library ive tried everything and im stumped

    All your media should be in your library. If for some reason this is not the case you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the new device from the old backup
    This process should switch set up your new device with the data and settings in your apps, assuming that is waht you wanted to achieve.
    Might be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all sorted, make a backup!

  • Won't let me transfer purchased songs from one computer to another

    The itunes wont let me transfer purchased songs from one computer to the other via home sharing even though both are authorised?

    Burn that songs to a *DATA DVD/CD* using iTunes - then take the resulting disk to your desktop computer; that disk will show up in iTunes' left column; drag the songs into your library.

    I want to transfer purchased song from mac to mac using home sharing but retain all the song modifications I have done.  I am finding this very difficult

    If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

  • Cant get purchased songs to my MP3 player

    We purchased songs on itunes we can listen to them on our computer but when we try to put them on our MP3 player all we get is an album photo but no music. How can we listen to our purchased songs on our MP3 player?

    How can we listen to our purchased songs on our MP3 player?
    If it's a protected song, you can't. Eighty percent of the iTunes Store music is now available in an unprotected format, and a previously protected song can be upgraded for 30 cents in the United States.
    If it's not protected, open the iTunes preferences, click on General, push the import settings button, change the default encoder to MP3, right-click the songs in iTunes, and convert them to MP3. iTunes Store songs come as AAC files; only podcasts include MP3s natively.

  • I cant transfer my songs from computer to ipod

    hi i just got an ipod video for x mas and i have all my songs on my itunes on my computer. i go to file( to transfer the songs to my ipod) and the update my ipod icon is not avaible. also when i first click on itunes, it say itunes cannot read the contents of the Ipod "IPOD" use the ipod software updater application to restore ipod to factory settings. i dont know what to do to fix this. also (this may be important) but i have 2 brothers who both got the same ipod i got for x mas. my one brother got his songs on his ipod no prob. i however had to create a new account on the computer to install my cd and i still cant get my songs onto my ipod.... by the way we all are using the same computer for all of our ipods, but that shouldnt be a problem.

    Hello Matt,
    It sounds like you are trying to transfer music from your iPod to your computer.  I found an article with information on transferring media from your iPod to your computer:
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

    You can also use steps from the following article to download your past iTunes purchases directly from the iTunes Store on the computer:

  • Cant put "purchased" songs on "iPOD"

    Im sure its just because of this new version of iTunes I can remeber several updates where one was messed up and giving various errors. I think it was 6.2 to 6.5 and then a week later an update came out and fixed it.
    I was using 7.0.2 and it was working fine. I recently purchased "korn unplugged" and "sevendust alpha" Now I can not manually move the songs to my iPOD.
    I tried moving from one playlist to the other and that odly put the songs in the playlist on the iPod but the song count didnt go up and the songs didnt appear under IPOD>Music. When i click on the songs in the playlist i get an exclaimation point on the left like it cant find the file. Oddly enough the songs plays fine in iTunes, they just don't transfer to the iPod.
    I deleted a song on the iPod, reset it and tested it, the song was not a newly purchased song and it went right on to the iPOD so i tried a "korn unplugged" song. Same thing happens, same results, cant transfer one of my newly downloaded songs.
    Updated to 7.1.1 (which installed fine), but....same thing, old songs transfer fine new songs wouldnt transfer. My software for the iPOD is 2.3 and that is the latest version. I reloaded the software and that made no difference.
    I know the 5 Rs and the hidden folder fixes, those didnt do anything.
    I have never had a problem with my iPOD, but cant seem to quit having problems with iTunes and purchased music. All those filters to keep the RIAA happy are really messing stuff up, authorizing, protected aac's are annoying, they never used to be 'this annoying'
    I have come to the conclusion this is another bad update for iTunes and next week there will be a fix. But if someone can persude me otherwise, im all ears.

  • HT204053 Transfer purchased song

  • Is there a way to transfer purchased songs from one iTunes account to a new iTunes account?

    This is a bit difficult to explain so bear with me! My two little sisters, years ago, started buying music off the iTunes store. It was my account so now i have all their purchased songs and apps on my account. At the time they were too little to have thier own email so I just let them do it on mine, I didn't see any problem with it. However, now that I am on iCloud and they all have iphones, I am stuck with all their contacts, music, games, etc. I do not want their music so I am wondering if there is a way to transfer their purchased items onto a new iTunes account that I will set up for them (they are in high school now and have their own emails, etc.) I have searched online and haven't found a solution to this. Please help! I understand that only one account can have rights to a song, but I would like to transfer their purchased songs to a new account.

    Purchases cannot be transferred to a new Apple ID.
    You can stop receiving their info by signing out of iCloud.

  • How to Transfer Purchased Songs from iPod back to iTunes.

    I lost some purchased songs in iTunes that are on my iPod. How do I do this? I see the place in iTunes to click to make this transfer but I'm not sure how to keep the iPod from syncing from the computer first and then it will match the computer and the songs will be lost on the iPod, too. I guess what I'm asking is how do I keep the iPod from automatically syncing to the computer the minute I put it in the dock? Is there a way to make syncing of songs manual?

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual if you wish. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in the Summary tab then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod

  • How to transfer purchased songs from ipod touch to itunes

    how do i transfer songs i bought from the wifi music store onto my itunes library?
    i manually manage my music so when i hit sync, it doesn't do it. when i hit file, transfer purchases from my ipod, it transfers all purchased songs, even ones i bought on other computers and then put on my ipod, not just through the wifi music store. How do i transfer just the ones purchased on my ipod?

    Hi ipodtuser234,
    Clicking "Synchronize" will only transfer songs from the library to the iPod.
    To transfer music donwloaded from iTunes Music Wi-Fi Store to the computer, connect your iPod then right-click you iPod name on the Source list and hit "Transfer Purchases".
    Here you have an article about that: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465
    To transfer only determined song from the iPod to your iTunes library. See my post [here|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6923237#6923237].
    Hope this helps!

  • This is ridiculous.  Cant play purchased songs.

    OK...I know that I am not the only one having this problem as it is all over the place.  Why will Apple not provide any support on this?
    Windows XP, purchased album from Itunes, cant play 2 songs off the album.  I get the "this computer is not authorized to play...."  I enter my Apple ID and password and it says "this computer is already authorized"
    I have done every single step listed here :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    And still nothing..
    I can play every song on the album but 2.
    This is extremely frustrating!  Funny thing is...I can play the songs using other players..

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store, then.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Major problem.. I need to transfer the music from my ipod to my computer. but it seems that iTunes will only let transfer purchased songs from the itunes store?? :S
