HT201274 I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

How are you trying to accomplish this? You can't transfer media directly from one iDevice to another. You should be transferring your purchased items to your iTunes library on the computer you sync them with, then syncing them from there.
You should be able to re-download media from the iTunes store using the same Apple ID used to purchase it to begin with.

  • How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account

    How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account.

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing iTunes library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • 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.  How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

    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.

  • How do I transfer my songs from my iPad to my iPhone?

    I want to transfer my songs to my iPhone without all the junks that I don't want, like apps. I don't want to transfer my videos or apps or any other things. I just want to transfer my songs only. Please reply, thanks.

    You will need to back your iPad up with iTunes then Sync your iPhone. To get only the certain songs that you want you can put them all in a specific playlist in iTunes after you back up your iPad. Once you have completed this you can just sync the Playlist you created with your iPhone by simply draging the playlist to the iPhone in iTunes.

  • Some of my songs don't show up on my iPhone, even though they are in Match.

    I can access the full library if I sign in to iTunes from a desktop computer.  Most of my songs are accessible to be downloaded, but several songs I recently added are missing.  In one case, only one of the songs on an album is visible to be downloaded.  What do I need to do to access my full library of songs?

    " I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
    First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
    This has been a known issue in the past:

    When I try to transfer over songs from my iPad to my computer it says that i need to authorize my computer, but my computer is already authorzie. It also says that some of my purchased items are not authorized for them on my computer. How do i authorize these items?

    Hi slt2014,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would try authorizing your computer again, even if it seems like it is authorized, by following these instructions:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If this does not resolve the issue, you can also try downloading your purchases directly on your computer by following this:

  • Single songs don't play even though they are synced and work fine on the computer??

    I only recently discoverd this problem. Single songs that I synced into my iPod 5th gen just wont play (they used to work before) even though when I check on my iTunes they work fine and even after syncing it again and even reseting my iPod it just wont work. All that happens is that I click the play button on the song the cover art with the timeline pops up for a split second as if it is going to play and then it just goes back to the title menu with the songs name, and nothing plays. This only happens with a few songs that used to work fine but from what I've noticed its only from songs that are pulled out of an album and placed alone (as in I only have one song from an album on my iPod) even though other songs that are singles like that work fine. It's very confusing and I have no idea how to fix it, please help. 

    Odds are, the tracks causing the issue are bad. When the ipod tries to play a track that has a problem, it skips to the next track. I realize your track plays in iTunes, but iTunes can play just about anything. Just because something plays in iTunes, does not mean it will play on everything else.
    Your best bet is to re-import the bad tracks or re-sample the ones you have. In iTunes you can do this by highlighting the track causing a problem then selecting create AAC or MP3 version... whatever options you get. Then take that new track and sync it and see if that fixes it.

  • HT2953 i-tunes could not be used because the original file could not be found.could not locate.this error occurs on most of my songs in my library and will not play even though they are in my i-pod and play with no trouble.can  anyone please help?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

    songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

    If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

  • Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

    Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir.  I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes.  I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes.  When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir.  To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

  • Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?

    Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album? They are always songs that I had on my computer not imported from a cd using iTunes. I have verified that all the info is correct and matches the other songs in the album. Sometimes I can check the "compilation" box on all the songs in the album and that will put them in order and in the same listing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

    Good One CL.
    What I did in this case is select all the songs in the album and select Get Info and see if  Album Artist and Album and Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist and Sort Album are the same.

  • Why are certain songs being transferred over to my laptop over and over again through Homesharing even though they are already in my new library?

    So I recently bought a new Windows laptop and tried using homesharing to transfer my songs from my computer, but I got really frustrated and confused. Certain songs keep being transferred through homesharing to my new library even though I already have a copy of the song in the library. I checked to see if I had the actual file in my media folder and it was there, so why do the songs keep being copied? And, if possible, can someone also explain how to transfer playlists? I know Apple said to export/import playlist but what does that mean?

    Yup, same issue.
    Playlist - Right-click on the playlist and select export, it will create a .txt file.
    On the other computer File/Library/Import Playlist, select the txt.file.
    Or, just select the Playlist in homeshare and select it and hit import.
    For some reason when you select "Items not in my library" it is does not show files correctly, if you purchased it in iTunes, they show correctly, or if you loaded them, they don't.
