HT202157 Apple TV is stuck on "Syncing purchased music"
After updating software, my Apple TV is stuck on "Syncing purchased music." Have given it hours and restarted with no resolution. All other features work fine. Thoughts?
OK, I'm with you now.
1. First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
2. If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
3. If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

I've just bought a new laptop. It is only syncing purchased music
I've just bought a new laptop. It is only syncing purchased music. I have loads of music on my iphone, what can I do to get it synced and saved onto my new laptop?
Thanks!If you did not backup your iTunes library on your old computer and transfer it to your new computer, see if this helps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

After having to get a new computer, I tunes repeatedly asks to authorize the computer to play/sync purchased music. However, ITunes is saying that the computer is already authorized. What do I do?
You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'" -
can i sync my iphone to a new pc without losing music that was not purchased but imported from cd? or will it only sync purchased music? thanks x
If you're trying to sync your iphone to a different computer than the one that you used to import your CD's, you can't (anymore). Now that Apple is selling iTunes Match ($25/yr) you can only access non-iTunes-purchased songs if they are either:
A) on the exact computer that you used to import them into iTunes
or
B) are already synced to your iphone
Now that iTunes Match exists, if you want to move non-iTunes-purchased music that you imported on one computer...to a different computer, you have to buy iTunes Match. Awesome, huh? -
I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!
Also, it's taking FOREVER (over an hour) to sync my iPhone to iTunes...

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

I have two Apple ID accounts, with which I purchase music, I would like to consolidate those accounts into one, how can I do it?
Stop using one. Everything you've previously purchased from it has that Apple ID stored inside the file, which can't be changed.

ITunes 10.6 not syncing purchased music to iPhone iOS 5.1
I upgraded iTunes to version 10.6 and my iPhone to iOS 5.1. iTunes will not sync purchased music from the iTunes store. In the past, I have been able to sync these purchases via iTunes. Now they appear greyed out on my iPhone 4S.
When I go into the App Store from my iPhone, I am able to download my purchases, but there are many and tapping on them one by one is not something I want to do EVERY time I update my iPhone to a newer OS. I would like to sync from my computer since those files are on my computer and I can play them in iTunes.I have also tried adding my music into a different playlist and it will still not sync half of my songs. I have also deleted the Purchased playlist and copied them back into it again... still nothing works
This is quite silly! -
HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad? It will only sync purchased music.
How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad? It will only sync purchased music.
You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

Syncing purchased music from old iphone3 to new iphone4
I have tried to sync purchased music from my old iphone3 to my new iphone4 but I have 2 different computers registered. One computer has my purchased songs only & my other computer has the rest of my library but I cannot seem to sync all song to one computer without deleting the songs already on there. How do I sync without deleting existing songs?
As noted above, you can sync to 1 library only. What you need to do is decide which computer you will sync with and copy the songs you need to to that machine. Home Sharing makes it easy to view the contents of another library and even import the contents over the wire.

If i change my apple id will i loose all purchased music and videos
if I change my apple id will I loose all purchased music and videos?
Greetings elalewis,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID, you can do so without losing purchased content. Note that email addresses ending with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com are already Apple IDs, and cannot be changed.
See this article for the complete steps to change the email address used as your Apple ID:

How do I stop iTunes from syncing purchased music?
Every time I sync my iPhone, purchased music is going back onto the phone. This is such an odd problem. I have 'manually manage music' selected. Nothing else gets automatically synced but my purchased music.
Also, sometimes, when I delete music from my iPhone, and I click 'sync' and then 'done,' in the iTunes window, it shows up as deleted, but the music is still on my iPhone!
Strange! My iPhone (iPhone 5) and my iTunes (both completely up to date) are acting weirder and weirder. Could it be that I'm on a 4-year-old MacBook Pro?Hello phil.winter,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to remove your music from your iPhone but are thus far unsuccessful. I know that you have already unchecked the Sync Music box and report that the music remained on your iPhone, but did you click the Apply button in the bottom right hand corner of iTunes after you unchecked that box? If not please try this step and let me know if the issue continues.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Click the Sync button in the lower-right corner of the screen to sync your content. Only the information in the content list you've enabled syncing for will sync to your computer. If you made any changes to any of the settings, first click the apply button.
Have a great day,

Our ipods wont sync purchased music since the itunes update
After our most recent itunes update, our purchased music doesn't sync with our ipods. You must click on the song and drag it to the playlist you want. Also, we are unable to fine a sort feature that shows purchaced music by most recent purchace, only by artist. What is the fix for this, or is it a simple setting change?

IPhone 3GS not syncing purchased music to ITunes on Windows desktop.
When I plug iPhone into USB port on desktop, iTunes goes through the regular operation with photos and syncing purchased applications. However, it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop. iTunes is to sync manually. When I select "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" nothing happens
it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop.
It won't, the itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you manually manage music, and the computer you're connected to is authorized, you must use File>Transfer Purchases once your phone appears in the left device pane, is that what you're doing?
