I'm trying to transfer old purchases from a device I don't have anymore.

I just want to know how I can transfer those purchases without the device itself onto my current computer. It's the same account too.

Authorize your computer in iTunes, log in to the iTunes Store with your Apple ID and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on top right of iTunes window. Go through all the tabs to download again for free.

If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

I am trying to transfer iTunes purchases from my iPad to my computer before I upgrade to iOS5...

It gets to "starting sync" and then sits there for hours. I have tried several times, rebooted computer etc... I haven't lost anything yet (and don't want to), but I'm getting frustrated and don't know what to try next... any ideas?

Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above). For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
- Senuti - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
- Phoneview - http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/

Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining a backup of your media on a computer backup.

Mail will not open after trying to transfer old Mail from old computer

When I open mail it appears in the finder text at the top of the screen but a window doesn't open. I moved a file called "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Mail " or something similar from my old system (10.3.9) Mail to my new computer. Now problems. I have a long problem report that I can post if necessary. I could get a new mail window, but it crashed when I tried to put a photo in it. Any ideas anyone. Thanks.

is the older computer using a different OS than the newer computer? I don't know if the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist has the same format or not.
You might be better served by cleaning up the new system (assuming the old system still has your stuff on it), hooking the old system up to the new via firewire cable, and boot the old system into target disk mode (hold down T key, or maybe it's ⌘T, until the blue screen with yellow firewire symbol occurs on the old system). It should appear as a firewire connected external drive on the new computer's desktop at that point. Then use Mail's "import" function.

If only a relatively small number of songs are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country. Otherwise, click here and follow the instructions.

Can I use my debit card to purchase from iTunes? I don't have a credit card

From my iPod touch

Whether you can use a debit card depends upon what country that you are in, have you tried adding it to your account to see if it's accepted ? If not then are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you can use them as your payment method - they are not available in all countries and they are country-specific, they can only be redeemed and used in their country of issue.

I need to delete data from iPhone 4 I purchased from an individual but don't have the password. How can I bypass that?

I bought an iPhone 4 from a lady who failed to mention she could not do a hard reset because she didn't know the pass code. So now I need to delete this lady's information from my iPhone but I have already entered the wrong pass code 9 times. Any way I can bypass this pass code thing? Since I did not buy it from the apple store I have no warranty or support. Please any and all information and suggestions are greatly appreciated

You'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
Critical note: the seller set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need her to erase the iPhone through her iCloud account and then remove it from her account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
If she won't or can't do that, then you have purchased a high-priced fancy brick and should get your money back from her.

Unable to transfer music purchase from iPad to Macbook

I have tried everything to transfer the purchased music on my iPad to my macbook. It simply won't transfer. Any idea's?

Hi BluJunco,
Happy Holidays! The resource below may help you get your iPad purchases on your MacBook.
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1848
If you purchased items from the iTunes Store and you've stored them on only your iOS device or iPod, you can transfer them to any computer that is authorized with your Apple ID.
The easiest way to add past iTunes Store purchases to your iOS device is to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud.
You can also transfer your purchases from your device to your computer.
Transfer your purchases to your computer
Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple IDaccount you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
Cheers!

I am trying to transfer my songs from an old to computer to a new computer on iTunes with Ion products

I am trying to transfer my music from an old computer to a new one. Nothing I recorded from Ion (I have spent over 2 years on this, so I am almost in tears thinking I have wasted 2 years) is showing up on the new computer. When I put a burned CD into the old computer, it lists title and artist. When I put it in the new computer, it shows up as "unknown." It seems that I have a whole lot of unknown files I transfered, but they do not show up in Itunes. To make matters wose, what did transfer (not Ion recorded items) is there multiple times. Some things are there twice, some six times. That makes no sense.
Can someone please help?

One way is to Drag and Drop the Entire iTunes Folder from your Old Computer to an External Hard Drive...
Then Drag and Drop the Entire iTunes Folder to the location of your Music on the New Computer...

When i was younger i did all my itunes purchasing through my father's account. I just purchased my own Mac book Air and i am trying to transfer the music from my iphone to my Mac. Is there a way to do this even though the music wasn't purchased on my id?

Have you authorised your own Mac to your father's account?

I recently purchased a new Macbook Air and used migration to transfer old files from my old PC to the Mac, and now there are songs that I purchased through Itunes on my phone that are not on my Mac, how do I transfer these songs from the phone to the Mac?

Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old itunes account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

I just created a new Apple ID that is different from my old one. Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

It doesn't matter what your AppleID is - you can just change the email address associated with it at http://appleid.apple.com/ as mentioned numerous times above.
Okay, my former Apple ID = my former email address and the latter is dead because I moved out of the geographic area.
If you just updated the email address associated with your AppleID you wouldn't have to sign in twice.
I guess Apple Inc is wrong because that is EXACTLY what they stated when I called yesterday afternoon. SIGN IN TWICE when I activate Apple TV and want to watch/listen to my legitimate purchases when my iMac is OFF.
Your only problem is the fact you didn't safely store the password to your account and subsequently forgot it.
Wrong ... my only PROBLEM, SIR, is that my bride, my wife of over 51 years died in my arms at 4:16 AM on December 27, 2012. As a direct result, I decided to get the **** out of the city where my Nancy and I lived for **** near 20 years.
On the outside chance it is of interest to you, she is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 66, based on my faithful military service during 1961 -> 1981 ... including Vietnam during 1967.
http://lovesongforever.com
Part of this PROBLEM, SIR, is that Apple Inc refuses to merge my old purchases with my new one.
SHAME ON YOU!!!
