HT201272 Songs I downloaded in 2007 aren't appearing in my Purchased list. They were purchased with the same Apple ID I use now. Any ideas?
The problem is that two of the songs stop in the middle of the track. I've been able to fix this easily with newer songs I've purchased. The songs are still in the iTunes Store, and I don't want to have to purchase them again, when it's clearly an error on iTunes part.
Any ideas?
You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's computer but not others. All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." The network appears to be fine . I can import other songs from his library. The same songs cause me a problem each time I try. My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well. "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot. My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7. I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

I went to buy a song on iTunes and it said I have already purchased this item, but it's not in my library. Is there a way to populate songs that I have downloaded on past computers with the same apple ID?
If iCloud is available for your country, you should. Here is the article that has the steps on how you can do this:

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop. How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?
Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?
You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection
Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work -
HT2693 How to download pictures from multiple iPhones with the same Apple ID?
I have multiple iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4S, iPhone 5) registered under the same Apple ID however i only manage to download the pictures in my iPhone 5 via iCloud.
How do I retrieve the remaining photos that was uploaded to iCloud previously from my older iPhones with the same Apple ID?
Pls help!!!Hi edristiew,
Are the photos that you are referring to still in Photo Stream? Remember, Photo Stream has limits which are outlined in this article:
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
If the photos are still stored in Photo Stream, this resource may answer your questions about how to extract them (Mac or PC):
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
If the photos are no longer in Photo Stream, but are in your camera roll, you can import them to your computer:

I am having trouble trying to boot from my lion osx install disk on a 2007 macbook. The disk ejects when I start up with the option key depressed. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.How did you get a Lion OSX install disc? They don't exist. Do you mean the gray disks that came with your 2007 MacBook?
If you mean the gray disks, try starting up with the "c" key held down.
What version of OSX is on your MacBook now? Have you tried booting from the Recovery partition? -
I have the magazine THE WEEK on my ipad3. Why can I also get it on my other iPad with the same iTunes and apple ID? SMITHSONIAN works on both just fine.
Was that new device used with a different AppleID recently?
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID" -
When I download an app or music to my iPhone, who else can turn on automatic downloads and have that app or song downloaded to their phone too? Is it only people who use the same apple ID as you? I just wanted some clarification.
Autormatic Downloads are associated with your Apple ID only.
Is it only people who use the same apple ID as you?
Your Apple ID is unique to you and you only and definitely not recommended to share with others. -
HT1420 how can i download an app on a new phone that was downloaded with the same apple id?
I mistakenly tried to use the same apple id to set up two phones and two iclouds. After realiing this would not work-I created a new apple id for mine, but it is not allowing me to download the same apps I purchased previously with the other phone. any suggestions?
You can use the same account on multiple devices, both for use with the stores and for Settings > iCloud - what happened when you tried to use the same account on the second phone ? You should have been able to activate the phone with it and log into iCloud with it.
If you want to download on the phone the apps that you bought with the other id then you will need to log into that other account on the phone : tap on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab and log out of it and then log in with the other account. But if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload an account's past purchases then you might tie the phone to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 (so you won't be able to do any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed). -
I have an ipod touch 4th generation and an ipad. Today i bought fifa 12 which was on sale for a dollar on my ipad. But i want to download the game in my ipod touch but in the app store it says $1 instead of INSTALL. i used the same apple id!
you could jump on your comp and try and install it through itunes onto your ipod, if it works great but if it doesnt im sorry ill have to agree with the guys above me , youll have to get another copy off apple thats designed for your ipod

I have added several CDs to my iTunes files, several Albums were added in the form of multiple files of the same Album title with random songs listed, but not the entire album in one file.
I have tried to reassemble the Album into one file, but could not find a way to do so.Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
We had a 16gb iPad that was close to full capacity so bought a 32 gb one to allow us to add more music. We had over 1200 songs on the old one. Just tried putting it allon the new one but it will only take 777 songs. Very frustrating!!!!! Any ideas why this is happening.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
