I am getting this message when i want to update my ipod: "there are purchased items on my ipod that have not been transferred to your itunes library. You should transfer these items to your itunes library before updating this ipod". help please.

I think I have transferred all purchased items but I keep getting the same message and I am afraid that i will lose all my purchases when i update it if I choose to continue.

With the device connected, select File > Transfer purchases.
If there is content from multiple Apple IDs on the device, each Apple ID must be authorized on the computer.

How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them.

There are purchased items on the iPhone "asingh's iPhone" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue?

When I am trying to upgrade my iphone to IOS7.0.2 by connecting my my iphone and macbook, it shows "There are purchased items on the iPhone “asingh’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue? ". I hit the same issue and lost a lot of apps from my iphone. Can someone help on how to resolve this issue? I can automatically upgrade my software on the iphone but how shall I resolve any future updates of "Apps"?

I appreciate the answer, but what you describe is not entirely accurate. First, to even see view, you have to enable the menu by clicking on the icon in the upper left. View allows you to show the sidebar.
Second, you will NOT see your devise listed in sidebar or anywhere else. Instead, you have to click on "devise" from the sidebar menu, wait a minute, and then it will finally show up under "devise." Or maybe it just takes a minute to show up whatever you do.
Third, right clicking on your devise will take you to a menu with "transfer my files" on it, but then iTunes will refuse to make the transfer. Instead, it will tell you that <your apps> on your <devise> could not be transferred to iTunes "because you are not authorized for it on your computer." Apple unhelpfully suggests going to store> authorize this computer. There is a "store" menu item on the sidebar, but it has no "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Instead, go to the horizontal menu at the upper left, and THERE you will find "store" and the "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Now you can transfer your files, to who knows where.
My iPhone 5 is my first Apple devise. So far my experience has been, to do A, which must be done right now, you must first do B. To do B you must first do C, which is unexplained save in answers in user forums. To do C you must first do D, which, after several hours of research and puzzle solving, can eventually be done.

We need a bit more information to help.
Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer? If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer? That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing. If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds.

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone via my macbook but the following message keeps coming up and the download does not work

Please advise how I can transfer these files, I am not sure what files are in question.
I've only had the MacBook a couple of days, I am PC savvy but this is all new to me so please keep it as simple as possible. I am a brit based in Bahrain.

okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on?

Im trying to update my Iphone OS but it says: " you have purchases that have not been transfered to your itunes library". I dont want to lose anything I've purchased, I dont want to cross reference every app and song to see if its in itunes or not. help

II have an iPhone 4. I want to update my iPhone operating system but when I do, it says I have purchases that haven't been transfered to my iTunes library. I sync my phone everytime I plug it in (automatically), so I'm not sure why I'm getting the message. I have updated opertating systems before and lost everything, photos, contacts, music, aps, etc so I've been hesitant to do it this time, but my phone is just too slow and aps keep crashing etc.
Short of going through and manually verifying every app and song ive purchased, how can I figure out what is missing from my library, and begin this update?
Thx
Jon

thanks, but the device displays on the top right of the latest version of itunes, and i doesn't allow a right click. You can open it and access the info inside but theres no option to "transfer items" anywhere :-s

HT1222 I get the message that there are items that I bought in tunes that have not been transfered. I syncronize my ipad, but still get the sa,e message. what can I do?

I am trying to update my ipad. When I start the process, I get the message " there are items bought in itunes that were not transfered. I synchronized my ipad, but still get the same message. What can I do?

I assume that this means items that haven't been transferred from the iPad into iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your PC and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under "Devices" and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up window. Then sync one more time. Then after that, right click on the iPad name again and select - Backup. After that process completes then you should be OK.

"Purchased items that have not been transferred..."

Hi all.
Ipad mini. I get a msg that says it could be updated to IOS 7.1.1.
When I try to do that, I get this msg:
In the iTunes menus, or Help, I find nothing that remotely looks like "Transfer purchases".
What's the problem???
Thanks.

Click on cancel. Then right click on your iPad name under the devices heading in the left sidebar or under the devices button in the upper right part of the iTunes window (however you have iTunes configured to select your device) and then select Transfer Purchases from the resulting window. Let the items transfer, then sync and backup. Right click on the device name again and select Backup.
After you backup, then update the iOS.

What does the alert "you have purchase that have not been transfered to your itunes that need to be before you update" mean and how do you do that?

how do you transfer material and is it important?

Make sure all content is transferred and device is backed up.

I have been having scripting errors that have not been able to be resolved by any of the measures listed on your Help page.

I've gone through the Help list under "Unresponsive Script Errors": I don't have Webroot SpySweeper; I tried letting the scripts run longer (selecting "Continue") but they keep coming up; my errors come up all the time, not just on certain websites; and I tried disabling add-ons to see if they were causing the problem, but they weren't. I have also completely cleared my cache several times and then updated Java, since I've heard outdated versions of this can cause scripting errors. I finally tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (a clean reinstall, with no preferences saved), but that didn't work, either. Then I downloaded FileHippo and downloaded all other the updates it detected as being needed for my system, including Firefox Beta. Could my low RAM possibly cause my continued problems? Also, are scripting errors related to No Response errors? I am still getting these, too, after performing all except the most complicated remedial actions for them recommended on the Help page. (Both these types of errors started occurring for me at the same time.)

The error often has the name of the extension in it in some manner, '''supply the message wording''' then at least we'd have an idea of what you see. Plus we really don't know what you did look at, or what you actually tried of what you did look at.
For instance "AVG Free" shows something like tavgp in the message, if I recall correctly, so they aren't always real obvious unless you've seen it before.
But if you really went through some of help pages you would have tried in Safe Mode, gone through the diagnostics, and almost certainly gone through all your extensions turning half off then have of those on or have of those just turned off back on again and repeat -- not fun but it doesn't take a real long time, but I'd rather try other ways first, because I have a lot of extensions and many are already turned off because of Firefox changes for the worse, certainly not because I don't need them.

My iTunes is suddenly saying both my iPod & iPhone are synced with another computer, which they have not been.

I recently lost all of the music from my laptop's hard drive, and therefore from i-Tunes. I still have all of my music on my iPhone (3GS) (and a smaller version on my iPod Touch (3)), however when I try to sync them iTunes says the devices are synced with another computer & the only options I have is to erase the iPhone/iPod & sync with the very little music that has been able to be recovered back into iTunes, or to transfer the purchases. I have checked the computer is authorised for my iTunes account, and have transferred the purchases back. I really don't want to have to reload my CDs on when they are all on other devices.
Does anyone know why iTunes is suddenly not recognising devices it did previously, and how I get it to recognise them again? And most importantly, how I can transfer the music on my iPhone/iPod back into the laptop's iTunes?

The music was accidentally deleted as I was cleaning up my SafeSync account (like a Cloud) & I unwittingly deleted My Documents & My Music from my hard drive as I did so - these are the only files that were affected. So no catastrophic issue apart from me not knowing what I'm doing.
And IT guy performed a recovery for me but was only able to retrieve about 10% of my documents and only 45 songs of the 1700 or so I had. There is no up to date back up of my computer - trust me I've learnt a lesson there.
Since then iTunes doesn't recognise my devices as being synced to that computer, but there is no other computer for them to be synced to so I don't understand how this happened or how to fix it. I understand that my devices aren't back ups, but it seems stupid to lose the 1700 songs I have on my iPhone. I have transferred the purchases, but the majority of them are songs I've loaded from CDs & obviously it would be a very time consuming process to try to reload all of them - obviously something I would like to avoid if possible.
