Importing songs purchased on the iPhone

Hi
I've purchased some albums using the iTunes app on my iPhone. I want to get these in to iTunes on my mac both to listen to and to back them up.
Is there a way I can do this?
Olly

connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

If you really are running OS 10.4.6 you have a long way to go!
So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

Can I pay for songs purchased on my iphone with gift cards?

Yes. Open the iTunes app. Go to the bottom of the New Releases screen and tap Redeem. You will be able to enter the codes from your iTunes gift cards. Music and app purchases will be deducted from gift cards before your credit card.

They aren't there because you didn't transfer them.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

In future do not rely upon being able to download again. The policy could be discontinued without notice and then you'd be in a mess. Even now you still can't redownload everything. Transfer properly next time and make backups.

My pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

my pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

I have somewhat of a similar problem. After iTunes last update, I am missing some of my purchased files of music,ringtones, and TV shows. Possibly movies, but just thought of that and did not look yet. Seems everytime there is an iTunes update, something happens, but usually an easy fix by just deleting music files from CD's that I loaded onto iTunes and no longer recognized after an update and reload from the hard drive. This time I do not have a current back up of all the music, ringtones, and tv shows I have purchased.
So I am also wondering how can I redownload purchases without being charged when there is no file left on the hard drive. It just stays listed in iTunes though.

Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

This is what that error means:
-54
permErr
Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
Download and launch BatChmod. Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window. Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group. Everyone will have R only.
Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button. When done try importing the files again.

I can't transfer songs purchased on my iphone 3gs through itunes to my windows 7 pc. I've done it in the past, but now I can't. What should I do?

I have a iPhone 3gs and I purchased 30 songs and an audio book on my iphone through itunes. I manage my own songs on my PC's itunes. I tried to drag and drop my legally purchased songs and audiobook onto the itunes library on my PC. It will not allow me to do this. When I purchase songs on my PC through itunes, I can drag and drop songs to the iphone, but it won't allow me to do it from phone to pc. I checked a number of sites trying to find an answer. Many of them recommend updating the itunes version. I started to do this, but at the beginning of the update it said I might lose files on my iphone since they weren't transferred to my PC library. I stopped the upgrade, because past upgrades have wiped out all songs, ringtones, books and apps from my phone. (The phone and PC are all authorized.) Could someone please tell me a simple straightforward way to copy the phone files onto my pc via itunes?

When conntecting to a public Wi-Fi conenction, here's what you do. I'll use the public Wi-Fi for Starbucks as an example. Turn on the Wi-Fi adapter on your Mac and choose "attwifi". When it connects, open your Web browser. You'll then be re-directed to a screen where you need to accept the terms and agreements when using the connection. Once you agree to the terms and agreements, you'll be granted access and you can surf the Internet.

How can I remove songs purchased from my iPhone while retaining the music in my iMac's iTunes library?

I have an iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) and have puchased an album from iTunes using only the iPhone. I have since synchronized the album with my iTunes library on my iMac (OS 10.8.3). I no longer want to have this particular album on my iPhone, yet I do want to retain it for my iMac's iTunes library. I've tried deleting the album directly on my iPhone and then synchronizing it with a new iPhone playlist which no longer includes that album. This unwanted album on my iPhone keeps showing up even though the songs specificed for my iPhone playlist don't include that music. I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

1) in the main panel of iTunes - make sure Only sync checked music (or something like that) is checked
2) in the Music pane of iTunes - uncheck the songs you dont want on the phone - or check only the songs you do want on the phone if nothing is already checked
3) sync your phone - the music you no longer want on the phone should be removed but still exist on your iMac

How to remove a song stuck on the iPhone?

I purchased a song in the iPhone iTunes store then synced my iPhone with my computer, only to discover that someone had already purchased the same song there..
Since then that song has been stuck on my iPhone, no matter what I do it appears in the 'Purchased' playlist on it, which means that when I put the track in my playlists I get repeats of it on the iPhone..
Sorry if that is unclear, the problem is kind of hard to explain, and I may just be being pedantic but this really annoys me! I've tried removing all my songs and uploading them again as well as uploading then removing all of the purchased songs from my computer onto the iPhone but whatever I do it won't let me remove this track and it's starting to bug me!
I thought that maybe resetting my whole iPhone would remove it but I don't want to do that as I would probably lose a lot of data.. So I suppose my second question is, does iTunes store all of your contacts so that if you whipe the iPhone clean you can sync it again and retreive all your contacts, photos etc?

I had a similar problem and I finally got rid of it. I had bought a single song from itunes and synced it to my iphone. A few months later I bought the whole cd which included that song from a record store and imported it to itunes. I deleted the previously purchased copy from my library but the next time I synced my phone I had two copies of that song again.
Try deleting the song from your itunes library. The next time you sync your iphone it will say something like "you have purchased content on your iphone that is not in your itunes library, would you like to transfer this content to your library? If you don't transfer it it will be removed from your iphone."
Select not to transfer the content (assuming you have no other new songs you need to transfer) and you should be rid of the extra copy.
I hope this makes sense and helps.

Importing songs from cd to iphone

After importing songs from cd's I can not get them to show on my iphone5 playlist, they only show up on the playlist on my computer at home. I have tried syncing. I do not have this issue if I purchase a song from itues...it goes directly to my phone's playslist.

Hi sadielexus1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your imported music never syncs to your iPhone, you may want to try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes by following the steps in the article below:

HT4527 Cannot import songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library

When I format my computer, all of the songs in my iTunes are gone. This is normal. But then, how come I cannot import all of my songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library.

That's normal too. iTunes is designed to transfer purchases only. Ideally you would have backed up your library and personal data before reformatting.

When I try to import songs/playlists to my iPhone 6, grey spotted circle shows up next to most songs and they won't play. Help

I just set up my iPhone 6. I made a full backup from my 5 to iTunes. Everything was backed up and transferred except any of my music. Simple enough to do it manually, I thought and tried. But when I transfer a playlist from iTunes to the iPhone most songs show up in light grey with a dotted circle next to them once they are on the iPhone list and they won't play.
There are lots of threats about grey dotted circles from the past. Does anybody know what the issue is? I have the newest iTunes version and IOS version (8.02) for the 6. Why is this happening and how can this be fixed? This is all my music on my mac and most of it was on my previous iPhone 5, so why won't it play on the 6?
Thanks!

OK,
I was asking a little fast. It did indeed not work for a little while (up to 20 minutes) but once I started chatting with apple support it started resolving itself. The grey dotted circles mean two things. 1) the computer was taking some time to transfer the songs onto the phone (quite some time for some songs) but then they appeared on my phone. and 2) those songs I purchased, I can listen to on my phone and my imac, but they will remain unable to play (grey dotted circle) when I look at them on iTunes in my iphone playlist. So, I can play it on regular itunes or on my iphone, but not in my iphone folder on itunes. I hope that makes sense.
So problem got resolved for me. I hope this helps.
