HT1848 Windows 7

I have downloaded iTunes to my windows 7 computer and downloaded the apps double clicking will not open them

Please provide a link to those instructions so that I can read them. If they are wrong, I'll attempt to get them revised.
Apps from the iTunes Store, intended for the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad cannot be run on a PC (or Mac OS X).

  • HT1848 How do i sync my old iphone to new windows laptop which is authorized without losing all the data on the iphone and having to sync only with what is on the laptop??

    I have a new laptop and i have authorized it with my apple ID but I can't sync my iphone with it because it is currently synced to another computer. Every time I try and sync my music it comes up with the message  ' are you sure you want to remove existing music, films, tv programmes,books and tones from this iphone and sync with this itunes library' which i DONOT want to do! Also on my laptop none of my apps are there so I would assume i would lose all of those from my Iphone as well!
    Please help, looked at other threads and all they suggest is to click on 'transfer purchases' but this is not an option anywhere on itunes..!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    what does "Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications on your computer(iCal & Address Book on a Mac, Windows Address Book or Outlook if using Windows). These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty" mean???

  • HT1848 Where is the "transfer purchases" option in iTunes for Windows 8.1 (desktop)?

    This article says I should use the "File Menu" on my PC's iTunes application. Unfortunately, no one revised these instructions after someone else redesigned the interface.

    Thanks for your response, but I'm not finding any option like that, either.
    Here's a little more detail on the context of my specific problem:
    This morning, for no apparent reason, my 4 month old iPad Air decided it would not turn on. I plugged it into my PC and iTunes was able to access its contents, or at least some of it; it's not really clear.
    One of the options for dealing with this situation, according to the Apple support page I read, is to have iTunes reset the iPad, which is misleadingly called "Restore iPad ...". (Evidently, this condition is common enough that there is a separate page for dealing with it.)
    After backing up the iPad to my computer using iTunes, I started the so-called "Restore" process, only to be told that "There are purchased items on the iPad ... that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. If you restore this iPad, these items will be erased and you will have to purchase them again. Are you sure you want to continue?"
    Naturally, this message does not give me an option button to "transfer" the purchased items to my "iTunes library"; in fact, the message does not even give the slightest hint as to how such as "transfer" might be accomplished. It also does not give any clue as to what has not been "transferred to [my] iTunes library."
    So far as I can tell, the only thing that I have purchased that has not been downloaded to my computer are my iPad apps. Do I have to download those to my computer? That seems idiotic, but, then again, I am new to the Appleverse and am not familiar with its arcane and recondite ways. All that I had ever heard was that Apple stuff was supposed to be intuitive and easy to use. This seems to be the exact opposite.

  • HT1848 My itunes windows look different. Where is the new version support? Anyone?

    How do I transfer purchases from my ipod touch in the new version of itunes? Support I can find looks different from the itunes pages I see.

    You can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. To transfer purchases from the iPod you can then either right-click the iPod device on that sidebar and select 'transfer purchases', or do it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (on a PC doing alt-F should open the File drop-down menu).

  • How do I "transfer app purchases to [my] itunes library" on a Windows machine?

    I'm on Windows 8.1 and using iTunes 11.1.5.
    I was just going to update my phone from iTunes and I got a messege saying, "There are apps on this phone that aren't in your iTunes library. You should transfer all app purchases to your iTunes library before continuing." I decided to just download without updating, but now I'm wondering, how do I transfer app purchases to my computer?
    Supposedly (according to mac users who I've seen post this in this community) they get a dialog when they plug their phone in asking them if they want to transfer their app purchases or if they want to synch their phone. I only get the option to synch my phone. So, how can I transfer my app purchases into my iTunes library? (I know how to back the phone up, I don't think that's the same thing).
    Thanks!

    Hello iTouch questions,
    This can be done by choosing the File menu in iTunes (if it doesn't appear, you may need to hit the 'Alt' button on your keyboard, it will appear at the top of the window), then Devices, then Transfer Purchases.
    After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".

  • I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes in my video using Windows Movie Maker.   Can anyone tell me how to do that?

    I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes, from my library if you will, in my video (slideshow) using Windows Movie Maker.
    Does anyone know if that is possible to do?   If so, would you please tell me how to do that? 

    Hello, a1p2r3. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer.  Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.

  • HT1848 How do you transfer music thats on your iphone to your music library I can't figure it out, I authorized the computer but there is no music in the library.

    I'm trying to transfer mu music that's not in my itunes library from my iphone 4. But I can't seem to figure it out I authorized my computer. But I am getting a new iphone so i want to put the music on my computer so when I get my new iphone I can transfer it back.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is based on you maintaining 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 purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably 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):

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.

  • Will my external hard drive be recognized on the Windows side of my Mac?

    I have a 2009 white Macbook 13-inch running Leopard and fairly recently used Boot Camp to install Windows 7.  Unfortunately I made the Windows side too small and I am now considering using an external hard drive to download all of my files I need for work.  I have a few questions...
    1) Is this a possible solution to my problem of no space on my Windows hard drive? and
    2) I read something about my computer not having HFS read support since I didn't upgrade to Snow Leopard or install the Bootcamp driver upgrades (because it is my understanding they require SL).  Will my external hard drive even be recognized by Windows? If not, can I upgrade to SL now and install the Boot Camp drivers before I try to use my external hard drive?
    I just really want to do things right this time, since I'm already screwed with the partition size (there is NO WAY I am restoring the partition and reinstalling Windows 7) and I had a lot of hassles with Windows software when I first attempted Boot Camp.  Any help would be great! Thank you very much.

    Hey there Natasha1608,
    It sounds like you need to transfer your library that is on your phone to your computer, and point iTunes to your other iTunes library. For the first, you can transfer your iTunes Store purchases to your library with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    Keep this in mind from the above article:
    This feature works only for audio, video, and apps that you purchased from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer, regardless of whether they were purchased from the iBooks Store. Learn more about transferring media to your iTunes library.

    My home computer is a Mac which is what I use to purchase all of my music through iTunes. I backup my music on iDisk. My work computer is a Windows PC.
