How can I download previous iTunes purchases onto a new iPod using someone else's computer?

Hi,
I've brought an ipod shuffle and need to download my itunes purchases but I don't have access to my own computer for another couple weeks.  How can I download from itunes?  I'm getting a message that the friend's computer I'm using can't use a different apple ID for 90 days - I'll be long gone by then and back with my own computer!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Multiple people can indeed use multiple Apple IDs on the same computer in multiple user accounts as long as they do not use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-download any past purchases. However, if you'll read the KB article I posted a link to you'll see that for the purposes of those services a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. If the OP associates their friend's computer with their Apple ID and downloads purchases from the purchase history the owner of the computer will be locked out from using iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-downloading any past purchases.
It's not that the friend will be unable to use iTunes at all, but what the OP wants to do will associate their friend's computer to thier Apple ID for 90 days which may cause the friend some inconvinence.

  • How do you get previous Itunes pruchases onto a new Ipod without syncing it to the laptop?

    I've been in Australia for over a year, my previous Ipod broke so a purchased a new Ipod touch this year. However, as my Itunes library is on my laptop back in the UK, I'm a little depleted of music on this Ipod. Is it possible to get previous Itune purchases onto my Ipod here in Australia without me flying home, or worse still having the laptop sent over? I've kept all my Itunes receipts.

    Try here:

    you might not be able to get some items back since yuo are in a differenrt country now.

  • How can I download previous iTunes purchases from older apple id after my Mac is associated with my current one?

    I have 4 MacBooks running MtnLion, iPad3, iPhones 2,3gs,4,and 4s,Time Capsule, and Apple TV....
    I have 2 Apple IDs [email protected], and [email protected]
    Almost all of my media is associated with gmail Apple ID. I want to retrieve my previous purchases, but don't need this Apple id aside from that.
    All of my computers and devices are associated with [email protected] id (I've set automatic downloads on all devices for [email protected])
    Now itunes will not let me download purchases I made on [email protected] for 60 days.....
    I actually wiped my 15" Mac pro, installed MtnLion and set it up with the me@gmail Apple ID (both icloud and itunes) just to get my previous itunes purchases. I downloaded about half, and then got sidetracked. Now when I go into itunes on it and try to download the rest, it says this computer is associated wth another apple id and can't download for 60 days!!!
    I tried deauthorizing, but to no end.

  • HT201272 How can I download previous APP purchases onto my laptop?

    I have authorised my computer and after much searching I still remain clueless as to how I can access the apps I have bought from Apple in the past using my ipad.
    I have checked for automatic downloads and it has not downloaded any of my apps...Please Help!

    If you are logged in with the same account then they should appear in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes (or you should be able to copy them over from the iPad to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases) - you can then take a backup copy of them in case you need to restore your iPad in the future (you can't use iPad apps on a Mac)

  • I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    They can't.  Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
    The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything.  iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad).  iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
    By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

    thanks :-)

    Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to youir new computer along with all other important data, and where is the backup for your old computer that should include your iTunes library along with all other important data?
    Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. This is why Apple doesn't provide a way to transfer these photos in the opposite direction and why photos available on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - iTunes library, documents, etc.
    There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but the original resolution of these photos will be forever lost, and the same for transferring music from your iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes store.

  • How can I restore my itunes library onto my new PC. My old PC was hit by a virus and I was unable to export it ??

    Quite a while ago my 'old' PC was hit by a virus and I was unable to extract any data from it. When I got a new PC I could not find a way to recover my library from itunes so reluctantly I signed up for a new account. Is there some way that I can contact itunes to see about having my old library restored on my new PC ??  I even had money in the account that was unused !!

    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.

    Why would you start a new account?  Why no use the same account on the new computer?

  • How do I download previously perchased songs onto a new computer?

    I want an iTunes or Apple customer service rep. to tell me how to down load purchased songs onto my new computer!!

    Alternatively... If you still have access to your Old Computer...
    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
