Directing where purchased music goes?

Is there a way that you can direct where a purchased song goes, and also where a song copied from a CD goes? I have 2 ipods working on the same PC, and would like to see if instead of going directly to the library, you can decide what playlist a song should go to.
Thanks in advance.

No all things goto the main library, then you pick where you want the songs, like which playlist.
Purchased songs go directly to the "Purchased" playlist, you just go here rightclick on the song, select "Add to playlist" and pick which one you want it in

  • Iphone purchased music goes missing after sync with iTunes?

    I have noticed that when I sync my iphone 4 that any music on it under purchased on iphone all of sudden goes missing. I can find it in my library in my computer but no longer under music puchased on iphone on my iphone. It used to not delete songs. Any ideas how to fix?
    Also, this music is no longer showing up as purchased in my itunes account either. It is in library so it isn't truly missing but it is creating a mess for me.
    I would appreciate any help.

    You would have to create the ringtones.
    Google will find several way to do this.
    You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer.

  • Help! When I try to download music from iCloud onto new iPhone it appears to go through the downloading process but then does not show up on the phone. Where am I going wrong?

    Have gone onto iTunes and selected purchased music. Then clicked on download all... It then appears to be going through the correct process but then music does not store on the phone. What am I doing wrong?

    Nothing you doing wrong, there is just not enough space on your phone.

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

  • I redeemed a gift card, the amount shows up in the top right corner but when I try to purchase music it goes to the account that I have loaded. How do I use the gift card?

    I redeemed a gift card, the amount shows up in the top right corner of my account but when I try to purchase music it goes to the account that I have loaded previously. How do I use the gift card?

    If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
    If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

  • I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everythi

    I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library to a new computer?  I have transferred purchased music but wish to transfer the rest of my library.  Home sharing isn't responding and the computers are going to be in different locations.

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one?  I have successfully transferred purchased music but not my library of CDs.  Home sharing will not work, and isn't working in fact, as the computers will be in different countries.

    Assuming your library is in the default location and all of the media is stored within the library's media folder then this is what you need to do:
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target computer.
    You can do this directly over a network (making use of shared network folders) or by making a copy on an external drive, moving the drive between computers, and copying again. Any way that works is good. However if you say that you cannot use Home Sharing (doesn't work properly anyway) because the source and target are not on the same network then method 2 as I describe it won't work either.
    Your playlists, play counts, ratings etc. are stored inside the database iTunes Library.itl which is inside the iTunes folder and a successful migration includes all of this information, not just the media files. I recommend method 1 from the earlier link as it sets you up with a backup mechanism to use in future. All hard drives fail eventually and often without warning, or at least a warning that is noticed and then heeded.
    If the initial assumption is wrong, or you need help checking, just ask.

  • I can no longer purchase music directly from the Apple TV. I can still buy TV shows and movies but no music.....

  • Where did my wi-fi purchased music go?

    While I originally had my ipod touch set up with the sync feature when I noticed that I could use the more traditional "manually manage the music and video" feature I switched to it. After I purchased a couple of songs over the wi-fi music store I went to add the songs back to my computer and couldn't find them on the ipod (I was assuming I'd just drag them back to the computer library)
    I thought that was generaly odd so I just assumed that I'd check the sync button and sync again that they'd show up but they still didn't. They still show up on the ipod but I can't get them back to itunes.
    Does the sync feature always have to be enabled in order to get wi-fi purchased music back on the computer? Is there any way to get that wi-fi purchased music back on the computer?

    you do not need to have the sync automatic for the wifi bought music to get back onto your itunes library. THe wifi bought music should automatically sync back to your computer. and the music will appear under the itunes store icon in the itunes library with a green playlist titled. "purchased on (name of your ipod)" You can also check for purchased by going to the store menu in itunes and clicking on check for purchases.

  • Where can I get a copy of iTunes 5 and how do I keep my purchased music?

    Hi all:
    I am using iTunes 5 (5.0.0.35) and want to reinstall it as I get the following error message from the iTunes Setup Assistant when iTunes starts up:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I would just install the new version 6 but it seems that it's not working for alot of people with windows XP so I think I should stay with v. 5 for now. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the installation file for v. 5?
    Also, when I reinstall, do I uninstall my current version first and how do I ensure that my downloaded purchased music will still be useable after reinstallation? I can't burn them as 'music CDs' because of the error message iTunes gives me and my CD burning software doesn't recognize m4p files as music files (I could burn them as data files though-but since they are protected, I don't know if this would work).
    Any insight would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    hi rjpod!
    two-and-a-half answers here. you might want to get independent confirmation of my answer to (3).
    (1) if you mean what i think you mean by CD-text, i'm afraid you're out of luck with itunes. see:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=607302
    (2) to use protected AACs (music store purchases) in other applications, first you need to burn them to an audio CD and then reimport them from the CD in a compatible file format.
    (3) i'm pretty sure that itunes only burns closed sessions on CD-RWs. so to use the CD-RW again for burning with itunes, you'd need to erase it first (with some other utility).
    (would someone else mind confirming or denying or expanding on my answer to 3? i've lost track of the threads where i've seen this discussed, and i'm working from possibly-fallible memory.)
    hope this helps.
    love, b

  • I purchased music on iTunes and it won't appear on the purchased playlist or anywhere else. Where can I find it?

    Where's my purchased music from iTunes?

    Did you buy it on that computer's iTunes ? If you did then it should have downloaded into the My Music part of your iTunes library. If you bought it on a different computer/device, or if you bough it on that computer but since deleted it from it, then you might be able to redownload it (if it's still in the store and you haven't moved countries since buying it) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
