How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating
how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie or TV show on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying) -
How to I transfer my apps from my iPhone to my new computer (iTunes 11)
Hi all,
I just bought a new computer and I installed the latest version of iTunes on it (iTunes 11). But now I don't know how I can transfer my apps from my iTunes into my new iTunes library. I don't want to download them all again in the iTunes Store while they are installed on my iPhone!
Any solutions would be great!Connect the device to your PC and launch iTunes. Press Ctrl+S to show the Sidebar. Find your device name in the Sidebar and right-click then select Transfer Purchases.

I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music. I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad. How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

How do I transfer purchased apps from one mac to the other?
When i want to sync my iPhone in iTunes on my new computer I will lose all of the apps that I purchased.
Can someone tell me how to sync it in a way (or some other solution) so I can keep my purchased apps?
I'm using the same ID as on old mac.
I have been searching on the internet for help, but I can't find a clear answer.
Thanks in advance.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.
btw, purchased apps can be redownloaded over and over free of charge ...

How do I transfer purchased apps from one Apple ID account to another?
I noticed I was purchasing apps on my iphone using a different Apple ID. Both use the same email address.
Here is what I want to do:
1. Which account is older? I don't remember which Apple ID I registered when I purchased my iPhone. How can I find this out?
2. I only want to keep one Apple ID. How do I get rid of the other one?
3. Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)? Do I transfer this to the other account? Should I transfer this to a computer? Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to? I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc. Can I also do this for apps?
Thanks again!1) not sure.
2 ) You don't. you can stop using it, but everything purchased with it, will still be tied to it, and your computers will need to be authorized to that account.
3) "Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)" Transfer them from where to where?
" Do I transfer this to the other account?"
You cannot.
" Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?"
Download them to itunes from where? and you cannot download them to another account. They will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
" I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc. Can I also do this for apps? "
You can back them up to a cd and transfer them between computers.
What are you trying to accomplish? -
How do i transfer my songs from my iphone 5 to itunes on windows 7?
Changed my Hdd on my conputer and lost all data. i donwloaded itunes but now i cant figure out how to put my songs from my iphone to my itunes. HELP !!!!
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. FIle>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back. -

How can I transfer purchased apps from one iPad to another?
Hi all,
We just got a second iPad. Previously our single iPad was registered under my Apple ID. My wife downloaded lots of apps for the kids on our old iPad. Now I want to associate the old iPad with my wife's Apple ID, but be able to keep all the kids apps on it that were previously purchased under my apple ID. I don't really want any of the kids apps on the new iPad - especially since I will usually have it with me at work. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.
NMYou can't associate purchased apps with another Apple ID. The apps are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
If you sign in on the iPad with the ID that purchased the apps - then you can download them again using the ID that is associated with those purchases.
