I can't sync my purchased albums from iphone to new computer

hi I have a new laptop which I have authorized, but when I try to import my purchased music from my iphone it says I need to authorize my computer. I have tried logging out and back in again on itunes, and I only have the one account. Any ideas what the prob could be?

The most likely reason is the iPhone and PC have different iTunes store accounts. Have you tried "Transfer purchases from..." on the file menu in iTunes?
Go to My Account in iTunes and make sure it really IS authorized.

    Can I move a purchased Album from my ipad mini to my iphone 4s?

    No, you cannot move content from one iGadget to another. What you can do is download the content onto the other device, either from the iTunes Store directly or from your Library stored in the computer where you have installed iTunes. There is a limit to how many different iGadgets you can download a single purchase to, the magic number being four (4), IIRC.

  • De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
    Following quote from Apple Support:
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

  • HT1688 how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

    how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

    iTunes will transfer your purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by using File>Transfer Purchases. For the rest of the content that’s on your iPhone use a program called TouchCopy which works on Windows and the Mac. It transferred my music, photos, contacts and SMS to my new computer very well.

  • How can I sync my purchases to my iPhone from my new computer?

    Help please!!

    Here manually manage your content it's more safer than to sync your items
    If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
    Click Apply.
    Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

  • How do I copy or sync a photo album from iPhone to iMac (copying album not camera roll)

    Is there a way to copy or sync specific pictures just from a photo album from my iPhone (5s) to my iMac?
    I don't want to have to select each &amp; every one again from my camera roll when I've already taken the time to organize the photos I want to an album on my iphone.
    I usually sync photos to my work PC where I know it only shows the entire camera roll.
    Now I'm trying to sync to my wife's iMac, but again it would be nice to be able to select the specific album I want and not have to go through my entire (3000+ pics) camera roll

    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How to transfer purchased video from iPhone 3GS to computer?

    Hi all,
    So I just bought an iPhone 3GS, my first iPhone, and I've also done my first purchase of TV shows off of the iTunes store. (Series 2 of Torchwood as well as the recently aired Children of Earth.) I did the initial purchase on the iTunes store from the phone itself, not realizing that I couldn't actually download the episodes onto the device since that'd take ages over the 3G network. But I did see that I could download the HD episodes to my computer and the SD ones onto the device.
    Fine, I think, I'll take my iPhone home and pull the episodes already download off of it onto the computer...
    ... only I can't find any way to do that. I have seen that I can download episodes directly to the computer and sync those down to the iPhone, but this has caused duplication of episodes; for example, I wound up with two copies of episode #3 of series 2 because the one coming in off the computer didn't actually override the one on the phone.
    To further confuse matters, episodes 1 and 2 have vanished off the phone and I can't figure out if this is because I've watched those on the computer...?
    Anybody got any ideas? I'd like to be able to free up space on the phone by pulling the five episodes on it onto my computer, so I won't have to download those twice. Thanks in advance!
    Anna

    Nope, Transfer Purchases didn't work for me at all.
    I wound up emailing Apple Support directly for help and they couldn't give me an answer as to why that wasn't working either. But we did eventually reach a workaround of them unlocking some of the duplicate downloads for me so that I could do them again on my computer, while also deleting the files directly off the iPhone in manual mode. Not an ideal solution, but it did at least give me a way to get all the episodes onto my actual computer.
    Thanks to y'all who've already answered.
    Anna
