How can I access a song purchased on a different device to another?

I bought a song on iTunes off my ipad and now i want to move the song to my iPod but I cant seem to find the song in my iTunes library that is on my computer. However, when I go to the song in iTunes it says that i have purchased the song and it wont let me download it to my computer so that I can move it to the ipod.

Follow the instructions here or here, and then sync the iPod with the iTunes library containing the song.

How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
4. sync your device
5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
Delmar,
The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
apple?

If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server. That is a much more difficult problem to solve. NOTE: Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

How can I get my songs purchased through iTunes to play on a windows phone

My wife recently got a HTC One M8 (windows) phone and wants to transfer her music purchases over to her new phone. How can the AAC protection be removed so the music will play on something other than an Apple product?

AAC is not protection, it is just an audio file format, like MP3.
Itunes purchases have not been DRM protected for many years.
Convert the songs to an audio file format that the new phone will play, then follow the directions for the phone to put the music on it.

How can I authorize itunes songs purchased with ID that no longer exists?

I bought an Macbook Pro and am transferring all the songs I bought from
my old laptop to the Macbook. Some of the songs were purchased from
itunes using two different apple IDs that don't exist anymore. I tried to
authorize the Macbook to play these songs using the old ID and password but it
doesn't work (I'm pretty certain I have the correct passwords but it is possible they are wrong). Please don't tell me I can't listen to these songs
anymore. Is there anything I can do?

I have exactly the same problem! When I try to play a song purchased under an old Apple ID (before I moved to Japan), I get: "This computer is not authorized to play "(song title)". Would you like to authorize it? To play this song you must authorize this computer to play songs purchased using the account "(my OLD Apple ID)". You may authorize up to 5 computers for each account."
I tried to authorize the song using my OLD Apple ID and password, but it didn't work because that Apple ID no longer exists. The weird thing is that after trying to authorize a song with my NEW Apple ID, the computer tells me I have successfully authorized it but then the song won't play and I get the same Authorize Computer dialogue box popping up again when I click the play button or double-click the song title.
It's VERY frustrating!

How can i access my itunes library in a different computer?

I have my itunes library in my laptop at home and sometimes during my spare time in the office I want to access my library or download more songs to my library. How can I do that?

your personal library is not saved to the internet, but your itunes account is, so you can download songs on different computers through your accound
also, if you want all of your itunes library on both comps, then just copy them using some kind of connection.
And ipod works best

How can I move my itunes purchases to a different computer?

How can I move all of my itune purchases on my old computer to my new computer?

A third point of view...
Moving your iTunes library from one computer to another...
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you have to resort to pulling data back from a device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT1203 How can I access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment

Hello
I need to access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment.
Am I already now logged in to Apple ??
Thanks

If the Computor you are on has iTunes library go to tunes as if u were going to buy a song or film and you can log into your account. At the bottom of the iTunes home page you should see the user that is logged on usually a email address. Click on it to log them out and enter your own apple I'd and password. You can then update whatever you want and log back out after

I just got a new Iphone 4. My husband already has an iphone 4 and an Ipod touch, with itunes set up on 2 different computers. How can I access the songs on either of his itunes accounts?

How do I get access to Itunes if my husband has already downloaded itunes on our 2 computers and his iphone 4 is the device for one computer and the ipod touch is the device for the second? I have already set up my own itunes account, but it doesn't recognize my phone on either of the computers. Do I need to down load a second itunes software on the computer just for my new device. That would seem ridiculous considering we are married and share all of the music together. Please help

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

Well I am having the same issue and I had not had to worry about getting a "licensed charger." The poster who responded offered not real insite and was rude to boot. I am also looking for the fix on this . My iphone will not even charge now on any charger. What the heck. I am not trying to treaten anyone either when I say I am frustrated with my iphone which in my case I have only had for a few months. I have already sent one in to be replaced and this is my second one. I have had troubles since the update GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .

How can I move an album purchased from MY user account to another account?

I have three user accounts on my computer at home. I purchased an album through MY user account from the iTunes store for one of the other users. I figured that all I had to do was to burn those songs from my user account onto a cd then go onto the other user's account and import the songs. Problem is, it DID import the songs, but without song titles (i.e., "track 1, track 2..."). What to do?

Thanks for the prompt response. Let me share with you two other solutions that came to my attention:
1. Call iTunes Store Customer Support and ask them to allow you to download the album again, only, THIS time, download from the right user account.
OR,
2. From the RIGHT user account, do a search on the album. When you find it, the songs on the album will appear individually in the search as well. Double click on each song. It will open in iTunes (if it's the default for music files) together with the song name.

How can I insert a song into lots of different projects without it duplicating so many time?

I have a website where I upload a daily one minute video, and I use the same song for the opening, and the same song for the closing. I have been trying to figure out why so much space is being used. One issue is that the songs I have been using for the opening and closoing are being uploaded over and over and over again.
What is the best way to do this so that the media isn't being duplicated over and over again? The files live in itunes, so is there any way to simply reference the file from the music folder instead of having to copy the media over and over again?
Thanks.

Hmmm... I made the opening in motion, and have set it as a opening bumer. So what I typically do is drag it in to the project time line from the right side of the screen (where my bumbers are) and then add the audio (from itunes) on top of it. So that audio is being duplicated on every single event. This was the only way I knew to do it so I could easily change the date without having to always set the right keyframes. (If there is an easier way, please let me know.)
For the ending bumber I just use a small video clip I made and insert it in each timeline. So I'm assuming that is also being duplicated every single time.

Use iCloud to backup the iPad. Many users don't use their iPads with iTunes at all anymore. Personally, I would never rely only on iCloud, but I would guess that millions of iOS users are now using only iCloud and not backing up with iTunes at all.
