I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

  • Is there any way to transfer my media from my ipod touch to my new pc?  The media is not currently in my itunes library.

    I can not upgrade my ipod touch because music that is currently on there will be lost.  Is there any way to transfer the media that I currently have on my touch to my itunes library or my pc? 

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    Copy everything from your old copmputer, or your backup copy of your old copmputer to your new one.

  • Is there any way to transfer photos, music from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

    Is there any way to transfer photos, music, from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Is there any way to transfer my contacts from my Droid to my new I Phone 5C ?

    Is there any way to transfer my contacts from my Droid to my new I Phone 5C?

    It depends on how your conctacts are stored.
    Assuming your Droid has an associated Gmail account and your contacts are stored in that gmail account, you can set it up on the iPhone through Settings->Mail Contacts & Calendars->Add Account->Other->Add CardDav Account
    Enter your Gmail settings there. and the iPhone will download your contacts to the Contacts App. They will remain synced.
    If they are not on Gmail, you would need to tell us how they are stored so we can offer a more precise suggestion.

  • Is there any way to transfer the music already on ipod to itunes library

    is there any way to transfer music already on my ipod to my itunes library without deleting the music

    Here's more info for you.
    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • I recently set up an itunes account and provided my information HOWEVER I also provided an improper email address. Is there any way to recover the information? Please advise. Thanks.

    Like the subject line says - I set up a new account in itunes. Put in my personal information (credit card, address) but - when it came time to provide my email address - I gave one that does not belong to me (similar to my name but not my correct address). Is there any way to retrieve the information I inputted OR put in my correct email address?
    Thanks.

    go to appleid.apple.com.  Click on manage my acct.  sign in using the email you provided (even if it is wrong, it is the one you provided, so technically it is your username.)  Once you sign in, it should have your details right there, it will say "apple ID and primary email address" and to the irgh of that, it will say edit.  choose edit, and provide the correct info.

  • My calendar events transfer during sync from iPhone to iPad but not vice versa.

    When I try to sync my calendars all of the entries on my iPhone appear (even the duplicates) on my iPad but my entries on the iPad do not transfer to my iPhone. I have tried switching the order they sync in (iPhone after iPad or iPad and then iPhone) but no changes. I have the "All Calendars" box checked on my iTunes. Any suggestions?

    I assume you are syncing cal's through iTunes. While I am not sure how to solve your problem, I'd recommend using Google Exchange to sync your contacts. It works in real time and uses your gmail credentials to do so.

  • Is there any way to transfer my music from my iPod to my iTunes without the original MP3's as my Laptop was stolen.

    Hi Guys,
    I have recently had my laptop stolen, therefore lost all my music etc.
    I have a third generation 40GB iPod with most of the music on it (ripped from CD's etc.)
    Is there anyway I can transfer the mp3's from this iPod to my new computer? Just so I can transfer it to my new iPod touch.
    It's going to be a pain having to buy all the mp3's.

In purchasing a new computer, I was wondering if there is anyway to transfer all those songs from my ipod to my computer via itunes which I just recently installed????

  • Events sync via iCloud from iPhone to iPad but not vice versa.

    I just purchased an iPad 3 and have an iPhone 4s.  In calendar, I can enter a date event on my phone and it will sync to the calendar on my iPad, however, if I enter a date event in calendar on iPad, it does not sync via iCloud to my iPhone.  I have checked and made sure all of my stuff in settings is syncing via the cloud.  Just cannot figure this out. I also made sure that the cloud is linked to same account only on both devices. Any help is appreciated.

  • I have had my ipod for about 3 years and do not have the computer my music was saved on, now its only on my ipod. I got a new computer, is there any way to transfer my music from my ipod to my itunes?

    see question

    So what would happen if you lost your iPod or it was stolen?  Answer, all your music would be gone.
    The iPod is not a storage device.
    Do you have a backup of your media from your old computer?  If so, copy all your media from that backup to your new computer.
    Otherwise, try searching the forums for an answer to your question.  This EXACT same question is asked and answered many times every day.
