Getting apps saved on iTunes that were purchased on iPhone

I purchased a Navionics app via iPhone. When syncing to computer, the app doesn't appear. If I install updates, I get message" there are purchased items on iPhone not synced to iTunes" - that will supposedly be deleted if I install updates. How do I get the app saved in iTunes on the iMac? I have authorized the computer on the Store dropdown.

With the phone connected in iTunes, you can select it in the device pane and right-click and select Transfer Purchases.

How do you get your ring/text tones that were purchased back on your phone

how do you get your ring/text tones that were purchased back on your phone

Hey there oops31,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to know how to get tones that you’ve previously purchased on your iPhone 4s. The article linked below outlines the options for downloading past purchases and includes information about syncing tones from iTunes to your iOS device.
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.
Cheers,

I have songs in my iTunes that were purchased under an old ID (an email that no longer exists). I forgot the password so when I try to retrieve it, it is sent to the old email which no longer exists, so I can't retrieve it so I can't play/transfer songs

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Tranfer files from mini to iTunes that were purchased from iTunes Store

I'm sure this is a common question but on initial pass I did not find what I was looking for.
I had to restore my computer. I backed up the files and thought I had imported them but when I click on a file in iTunes it does exist. So then I thought okay I have all my songs on my Mini. So I authorized my computer. I chose to Transfer Purchases but this did not seem to work.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing. I'm using version 7 of iTunes on Windows XP.
Additionally, when I click on the file that is missing it says do you want to find it. I browsed to the file where I had it backed up on a DVD and chose open. Nothing seemed to happen.
So I still have the DVD so any thoughts on this will also help.

I figured out what was going on. The transfer music did not work because the definitions of the songs were there but the files were not. So when it tried to transfer the purchases it thought it did not need to. So I deleted all the definitions in the library and then did the Transfer Purchases again. This time it worked.

I and my brother have different apple id's but are using the single itunes library on our home PC.When i am syncing my iphone most of the times the apps that were purchased with my brothers apple id is also getting on my iphone.

i and my brother have different apple id's but are using the single itunes library on our home PC.When i am syncing my iphone most of the times the apps that were purchased with my brothers apple id is also getting on my iphone.
How do i differentiate the apps that were purchased with my apple id and sync accordingly.As i want only the apps that were purchased in my apple id.
I am aware of the fact that i can click on the app and check with "getinfo" to see with whose apple id it is brought.but there are hundreds app which i cannot check one by one.
How do i filter the apps with apple id and sync?

Connect the device to the computer.
Open iTunes.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.

HT5622 I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices. Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy

I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices. Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon. What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family? Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's?

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there...

I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there... Can someone help me get the pics from my Iphone4 to the 5C?

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

HT203167 I am trying to transfer itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a Macbook pro). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password.

I am trying to transfer my itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a macbook pro). When I try and download the itunes files, a message appears telling me that 7 songs purchased under the old apple id cannot be added to itunes on my macbook( the rest are added ok). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password. When I try and retrieve the password using the security questions, I am asked for my birthdate. When I enter my birthdate, I am told this information is incorrect! Thats as far as i can go!
How can I update my apple id( and remove any old ones) if I can't retrieve the old password?

You need a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

ITunes can't locate some of my music... seems random... some was purchased, other songs from my CDs. Also, it won't sync some that were purchased to my iPhone even though it shows in my iTunes. What to do?

iTunes shows quite a few songs that it can't locate. Some were songs that were purchased, others are from my CDs... not the entire album, just some of the songs. The songs still show up on my iPhone from previous syncs. Also, I purchased some that I've put in a playlist and it plays fine on my computer, though it won't sync to my phone. The others that I've purchased in the same manner do, just not that one. I've tried adding it elsewhere, I have deleted it and re-downloaded it... yet it still won't show up on my phone when I attempt to sync it. This has all occured since I've updated it to iOS 7. Any advice to remedy this is greatly appreciated.

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

Updating apps that were purchased with an old account

How do I update apps that were purchased under prior email account? I no longer have this email address but the app updates keep prompting me for it.

Apps are forever tied to the account used to download them. That means they will always require it to update. The fact the email is no longer functional has nothing to do with this.
If you still have the password for the Apple ID (not the email account) you can still use it. You can also go to appleid.apple.com and update the email address for the Apple ID there to a functioning one so the Apple ID remains useable.

I cannot get apps from the itunes store and there is a message that this apple id has not been used with the itunes store

I have the same problem and when I review my account and enter my cc info it tells me "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later." and this is day 5 of trying again later. What the **** is the prob? It isn't the card bc it has plenty of $$$ on it.
