How can I put previously purchased music and videos on my new iPhone 4s?

I purchased the music back when I have a 4th generation ipod nano. I was able to retrieve it from the iTunes library, but cannot seem to copy and paste it to my iPhone. I even tried file > transfer purchases from iPhone (as I read it should ask if I want to put the songs that are on iTunes on the phone) and that didnt work! PLEASE HELP!

Huh?  File has nothing to do with it.  Do not click File.  Forget File. It transfers FROM iphone TO itunes.  This is NOT what you are trying to do.
You need to sycn your iphone.  This is very basic and is certainly covered in the manual.
Open itunes.
Connect iphone.
Select what you want to sync.
Sync.

    Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

  • HT1529 How do I recover previously purchased music and apps?

    How do I recover previous purchased music and apps?

    You need to be logged into iTunes using the same Apple ID (iTunes Store account) you used when you oiginally purchased the songs from the iTunes Store.  You can check the Apple ID used to purchase a particular song by doing a Get Info on the song and looking for Account Name on the Summary tab of the Info window.
    If you are still having problems, you should contact iTunes Store support, starting at this link

  • How can I download previously purchased music

    Some previously purchased music has apparently been deleted from my computer, and, consequently, from my iPhone.  Download of previous purchases is one of the new features in 10.3.1.   But, I can't figure out how to do it.  When I go to the selection in the Store, it says that it was purchased and does not give me an option of either downloading it again, or even purchasing it again.

    Thanks, Steve.  This did not resolve my problem, but I did get it fixed.  When I did as you suggested and navigated to the selection, it did not show the cloud.  Instead it displayed "Downloaded".  So, I went back to my Library and deleted the entry there.  I forgot to mention that the listing was still in the Library, but the song was not on the disk.  After I deleted the entry, a "cloud" appeared.  I clicked it and an new copy downloaded.
    Thanks again for the help.  Although it did not directly fix the problem it got me started in a direction that worked.  I had never used the "cloud" before.
    Regards,
    Bill

  • How can I change "manually manage music and videos" option whitout loose my files?

    When I change "manually manage music and videos" option iTunes delete all my files first. This a stupid thing from Apple.
    Anybody knows if exists a way to change this option without loose the contents in iPhone?

    There's the magic words right there.
    The iPhone will only sync with 1 iTunes library at a time. If you want to sync to a new iTunes installation, you have to re-establish the sync relationship, which means wiping the phone and replacing the content with what's in the current iTunes library on the computer.
    There is NO WAY around this.

  • How do i put all my music and videos from my i pod onto my i pad

    how do i down load stored music on my i pod onto an i pad

    Via your computer's iTunes - you can't connect an iPod to an iPad, so you will need to sync your music to the iPad via your computer's iTunes. If your iTunes purchases are no longer on your computer then you should be able to copy them back from the iPod via File > Transfer Purchases

  • No sound when playing music and video on the new iphone 3gs (32gb)

    I have a problem with no sound when playing music or watching video both on the ipod part of the phone and when watching youtube videos, all other sounds are working fine on the phone(eg Apps, phone calls/rings and system sounds. If i reset the phone everything apears to work fine again for the first minute or so but when i stop a video or tune for a second and try going back to it, the sound is gone again. All settings are fine. Anyone having the same problem or any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks

    You could try either a Backup Restore or a Clean Restore. I usually do a CR with MobileMe as the restore source. Afterwards I reload the music, videos and apps.
    It could be a sound playing bug like the Bluetooth bug that bites me now and then (audio stops and goes once in a while, audio gaps in the video if the video is paused, and videos recorded have the audio very quiet).

  • How can I find previously purchased ringtones and download them?

    They do not appear with the rest of my past music/tv/book purchases that I can download using iCloud. I'm not talking about eligible songs that I have made into ringtones in the past. I'm talking about the pre-made ringtones you purchase straight off iTunes.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

  • Hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • How can I delete iTunes purchased music

    Music I purchsed from iTunes is synced to my iPad. However, there are a couple of tracks I do not want but can find no way to delete them. I have deleted them from my iMac and Mac Mini but they still apear on the iPad. It's no big deal but I like to have control over devices I own and this is an irritation. How can I permanently delete purchased music from the iPad?

    OK so I'm answering my own question. After deleting purchased music from my iMac and Mac Mini, it still appeared on my iPad. However, on opening Music in the iPad, I found that by holding my finger against the track I wanted to delete and swiping to the right, a red DELETE tag appeared at the right-hand end of the track title line. Tapping this tab deleted the title and it has not returned. I repeated this for all of the purchased titles I wanted to remove and it has worked.
    I have not found any reference to this facility elsewhere but, believe me, it works.
