Finding Purchased Items

After many syncing sessions I realized my setting allowed iTunes to copy every time thus maxing out my hard drive. I subsequently changed that setting and went to my Music folder on my hard drive under My Documents and deleted everything in the file as I knew I had back up for everything I had added---- except for a movie and audio book I had purchased. Is there any way of getting those back, re downloading etc. without having to purchase again?

Actually I have redundant backup for everything. I have many items not purchased through iTunes. I also realize any APPS I purchased can be re-downloaded. In this case however. .. the one movie and the one audio book I purchased in iTunes are actually still on my iPad BUT gone from the backup directory iTunes makes on my hard drive. I guess the question would be is there any way to get the movie and audio book back in to my library. They actually show in my library but have the little icon to the left indicating they aren't there if that makes sense. I as long as I don't deselect the items in my library they won't disappear from iPad. (note-they are still on my iPad.)

  • IPod won't sync pass 'finding purchased items'

    I am trying to sync my ipod touch with my music and i have never had a problem until today.  Everything is working fine until i get to finding purchased items then it just frezes.  I have no other applications open other than itunes.  I have not upgraded to iOS 5.  My ipod touch is on version 4.2.1.  Thax for any help.

    To transfer purchased iTunes Store songs from iPod to computer, select the iPod in iTunes.  You can do this from the sidebar.  Click on the iPod under DEVICES. 
    NOTE:  If the iTunes sidebar is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    With the iPod selected in iTunes, from the menu bar
    File -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases from "[name of iPod]"
    Alternately, you can re-download previous purchases from the iTunes Store at no cost.  On the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS, click on Purchased.  On the Purchased screen, you can find and download previously purchased songs, including those made on the iPod touch.
    NOTE:  You need to be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID used to make the purchases on the iPod touch.
    Also, if you use the same Apple ID on the iPhone, you should be able re-download (at no cost) previous purchases from the iTunes Store, directly on the iPhone.

  • Syncing stops on finding purchased items

    So I have been looking for a solution for this problem for a while now but i can't seem to find any answers.
    Basically every time i sync my iphone 4 into itunes (11.0.1.12) it will sync until it gets to the point where it says "finding purchased items". It then stays at this stage. Also because of this I cannot put any new music onto my iPhone. Most other feed have said something about iBooks and deleting but i dont even have iBooks to start of with...  Any Suggestions?

    I have had the same problem however deleting IBooks did not help and I have been messing with this for days...but  I have found something that appears to work (its copying purchased items now, I'm crossing my fingers). 
    Try this... after plugging in your Ipad, right-click on the Ipad icon, but instead of choosing "transfer purchases", click on "backup".  When I did this, instead of "looking for purchased items", it immediately started "transferring purchased items from Ipad"... and its been running now for 40 minutes.. (I have a quite a few purchased apps), but its not locking,  and the apps copying... .
    hope this helps

  • How long for iTunes to 'Find purchased items on iPad' 30 mins so far..

    Started a second synch on my iPad and it has been stuck on 'Finding purchased items on iPad' for 30 minutes now.
    Are new purchased made on the iPad difficult for iTunes to find?

    That is definitely not good! I too have a UK 32GB WiFi iPad bought from the Apple store on Friday but I have faced no problems. Are you sure that you haven't forgotten about a screen protector you've put on or something?
    I suggest you ring Apple support ASAP or even better, take it back to an Apple store!
    In my amatuer opinion, it looks like a coating has started to remove. Have you had it under any exceptional circumstances like extremely high heat or moisture?

  • Stuck at "Finding Purchased Items" even after update and reboot

    I have been unable to sync my iPad for several weeks. Itunes gets to "Find Purchased Items" then hangs. I've left it running overnight, but still nothing. I updated the software to the latest version (the one that allows sharing) and still nothing. Rebooted and still nothing. I know iTunes is completely frozen because I can't even return to it in Explorer (i'm using the Windows version).
    What can I do to be able to start syncing my iPad again? It seems like ITunes is really becoming an Achilles Heel for Apple products.
    Any help is much appreciated since I've bought several new apps and can't install ANY of them.

    I was having the same problem on the iPad 1.  I am on the latest iOS (5.1.1) and the latest Lion (10.7.4) and latest iTunes 10.6.1 (7).
    Tried to sync for the first time in months.  whenever it gets to 3 of 7 "finding purchases," iTunes completely hangs and I have to force quit.
    I deleted iBooks on the iPad and then right clicked on the iPad in iTunes and did a BACKUP (option is set to backup to iCloud btw).
    Once this was complete it sat on "WAITING TO APPLY CHANGES", for almost an hour.. eventually i was impatient, and tried an option change, and hit apply and it got past the screen and fixed it all.
    Once all this was done, it was backing up/synching etc. very quickly.
    Hope that helps anyone else who got stuck more recently than the thread origin!

  • Itunes freezes at "finding purchased items" when syncing itouch!?!!?

    So I bought an Ipod touch 3rd generation from my friend about 4 months ago. it was working fine and syncing with itunes perfectly. then, about 2 months ago i updated my itunes to itunes 10.2.2 and that was a total mistake. i would open itunes and it would run slow, then when i tried syncing my ipod it would always freeze at "finding purchased items" and i had to force quit every time. i figured i would just wait for another update. now, a couple months later, ive updated to itunes 10.3.1, in high hopes that it would work. but still, nothing. it continues to freeze at "finding purchased items" I've tried to sync my old Ipod nano to the same itunes library and it worked fine! it's just not working with my itouch!!!
    Ive read up on it and done all of the following:
    Deleted ibooks
    Sync from back up
    Reinstall itunes
    Restore itunes
    Made a new library
    Turned off home sharing
    Manually synced music
    Unsubscribed to podcasts
    Allow it to attempt to sync overnight
    And many more things!!!!!
    And just now i tried syncing it again and now it began freezing at step 2:preparing to sync!
    the ONLY conclusion that i can come to is authorizing my computer. Since i bought the ipod off of my friend we decided to share an itunes account so that i could purchase stuff using her itunes account. since i got the ipod i HAVE made many purchases using her account. but when i tried authorizing my computer to her account it says something like "this account can only be authoorized to 5 computers" the problem is, i really need it to sync to more than 5!?
    This has been going on for too long and now its getting extremely frustrating for me. I am a teen and I would love to listen to the newest music! so this is a real problem for me. Someone, PLEASE HELP!!!!! AND FAST!!!!!!!!!!
    -Ipod touch 3rd Gen
    -Windows
    Screenshot of how it froze just now.....

    i just found out how to deauthorize all computers. i deauthorized them and am re-syncing the ipod now-hope it works!

  • AppleTV with 4.3 doesn't find purchased items

    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this trouble -- I upgraded my AppleTV, and it's working fine, except that it's not showing most of my purchased items. I've got a couple of season passes, and the shows are downloading fine to my Mac. But when I look under "Purchased" on the AppleTV, it shows one old episode and that's it. When I checked "Purchased" on my Mac, it shows everything I would expect to see. I tried signing out of iTunes on my AppleTV and back in, but it didn't make any difference. Any ideas?? Anyone else having this problem? It's pretty frustrating.

    This happened to me as well. I think I read that Apple have started off allowing it for certain shows/certain countries.
    I think this will take some time - but eventually you will be able to see your purchased items when they ease of with the production companies.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • Trying to sync my iPad 4, gets to step 4 of 7 (finding purchased items) and just stops forever!!

    I was having problems with iTunes when i plugged in my iPad as all that came up was 'iPad' i stead of the usual summary and called support and no one knew what to do. I figured put how to sync for now but now it freezes when it gets to step 4. It's happened before and just fixed and to my iPhone too. :( I don't Know if I need to sync my iPad after each purchase (I buy lots of movies in iTunes) or what the eff is going on! Please someone help!!
    Ps I'm on a windows 7 PC if that matters to anyone (joining the Mac side soon)

    Devices can only sync to one library at a time. You can, however, have multiple copies of libraries on different computers though it can be tricky making sure they are always synchronized.  You can put your Windows iTunes on your Mac.
    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them.

  • HT4623 when I try to update it says I have purchased items not backed up on itunes but I believe they're all there.  any suggestions how to find these items or just upgrade anyways?

    I have tried to update my ipad 2 several times.  I have connected it to my computer in itunes had it download or backup my info.  But when I go to update it states you have purchased items not backed up are you sure you want to update now?  So I go back and check it for all my apps and they are all there on the computer in itunes.  I still have the original iso 4.3.3  please help as all the apps are requiring newer iso versions.

    Hi Oceanbreeze,
    If you are receiving an alert about purchased items that have not been transferred from your iPad, you may want to try initiating the transfer from iTunes to see if that may correct it. You may find the following article helpful:

  • I bought an album in the I Store and it shows there as a Purchased item.  However, I cannot find the album in my iTunes and do not know how to redownload it.  What should I do?

    I bought an album in the I Store and it shows there as a Purchased item.  However, I cannot find the album in my iTunes and do not know how to redownload it.  What should I do?

    If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded then it should show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - that it where you can redownload items (as long as they remain in the store).

  • How to find out which "purchased items" are not authorized?

    I have an iPhone 5, and my son has an iPod touch that are both synced to iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Since I upgraded the MBP to Yosemite, I can no longer sync the apps on the iPod; it always responds with "The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod".
    The iPod contains apps that are purchased with my Apple ID, and apps purchased with my son's own Apple ID. I have deauthorized all computers from both accounts, and authorized iTunes again for both accounts; however, trying to sync the iPod continues to generate this error message.
    Is there any way to find out out which specific app(s) are generating this conflict? If I knew which of the (more than 300 in total) apps cause this conflict, I could probably remove/reinstall/do something about them; but as it stands, the error message doesn't help me at all.

  • Dont find purchasing document and item in RESB table

    Hi Guys,
       **I have a requirement to find production order for puchase document and item and get product cost, for this i am trying to find the link between purchase docuemnt and production order (other than material) and i found RESB table but some how i dont find Purchase document information in that table the feild is blank , could anybody pls let me know how can i ahcieve this??
    And i found one datasource for this 2lis_02_ACC but that is pulling only when purchase document account assignment happend and i dont find my required values from that source also.
    Thanks,
    chandra.

    This is a case where I would go to the MM or PP functional consultant on the project, or the end customer, to determine how they would manually connect the dots to get from the purchase order to the production order.
    There are ways on going about this, but it depends on the configuration of your R3/ECC source environment and at what point the data is required. For instance, you might be able to go from:
      EKKN-EBELN = BSIK-EBELN
      EKKN-EBELP = BSIK-EBELP
      BSIK-AUFNR = AFKO-AUFNR
    This would be after account assignment.
