IPad Itunes Purchasing Help
Hey all. I just got a new iPad 3 for my bday (16gb black) it has the ability to do data but I have not started the data plan yet and am using it as purely wifi until I get the plan. I got this present while on vacation and I used my girlfriends computer to put music on my new iPad. I am signed into my account and can download apps and previously purchased content on my Apple ID, but I can not rent movies or buy songs from my iPad. In my itunes account, Only my cvomputer is shown as a device authorized to purchase content. The iPad is not shown. How do I get the ipad to become an authorized device so I can download songs direct to iPad? When I try to download songs now, it just keeps asking for my password, over and over, never getting anywhere.
Thanks for the help!
Justin

Everything is back except for all my music purchases (made on my original iphone). I cannot see any reference to these purchases on my itunes account on my laptop. Where has it all gone - how can I get it back.... Just to rub salt int he wound I just received a receipt from itunes for music I purchased from my phone yestedray (before the swapout) and I don't know how to get the download back onto my new phone. Please help me.... thanks z
If you are in the U.S. and have iTunes 10.3 or later installed,
read here >Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you are not in the U.S. and you didn't backup your iTunes purchases, you will have to re purchase. -
I'm trying to download past purchases from my iTunes account onto my computer. It's telling me, "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." Do I have to wait 75 days before I can redownload my music i've purchased back onto my own computer?
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
IPad & iTunes problem, help plz?
when I connect my iPad 2 to itunes, there are no screens showing in the apps section
I suspect you may be using an old version of iTunes. Check to be sure you are running the most recent version. Update if necessary and try again.

Please can anyone tell me how I can view what charges are for from my bank account from itunes, I keep getting £8.97 taken and dont know what for?
You can view your account's full purchase history via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it, click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases. On your phone you can view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with a purchase) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If it's a regular payment then you might have an auto-renewing subscription - there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098 -

How do I organise iTunes purchases/content after moving abroad? Please help...
Please can someone advise in simple terms, I am so confused!
I have recently moved with my young family from the UK to the USA. We are hoping this will be a permanent move, but this is yet to be confirmed. We will be visiting the uk hopefully every year and no doubt take the phones and iPads with us. Between us we have:
Ipad 2
Ipad minis x 2
Apple TV
iPhone 4s
iPhone 5c
All my iTunes content is stored on my hp laptop, including many CDs and DVDs that I converted to an apple format. Purchases in the uk include 10 albums, 10 movies, 1 tv show, 27 books, a gazillion apps (most of those free, apart from I know I purchased minecraft and the kids have spent hours creating worlds on there!). Most of all this is for the children. I don't tend to store any content on the devices themselves unless we are planning a long trip. We tend to rely on wifi and home sharing to access all content from my laptop.
I've just started to look at changing the iTunes Store location/credit card from the UK to the USA. I went to an apple shop to help me do this to make sure I was going about it the right way, I even purchased frozen movie from iTunes Store whilst I was in the apple store, to check it worked. It did, but on the device I updated - ipad 2 - I can no longer see the movies or music that were there before. I've refrained from changing any other devices as yet. The apps all seem to be there however. (I understand that some of these apps may not get updates if I don't change to the USA iTunes Store, since they were obtained in the uk).
I basically need to understand what options I have in terms of easily being able to access all content (whether converted or downloaded content) ideally via homesharing, as the kids are used to that.
1) in settings do I keep the uk iTunes Store and uk credit card linked to it, and continue to make purchases from there (is this even possible?) Would purchasing a uk VPN help with this?
2) in settings do I convert to the USA iTunes Store and USA credit card - on all devices - and if so, how can we access all our content? If this is an option I would greatly appreciate instructions on what to do.
I think one option would be to just change the country/credit card details in settings each time we wish to access something from the 'other' store - but this isn't really practical with all our devices and 2 young kids who just wouldn't understand why they can't see all their movies in the cloud! I don't have time to permanently be switching details on their devices all day!
Many thanks in advance for any guidance on this. I really want to get everything working smoothly.You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
That is sometimes refured of redownloading from iCloud.
If the media is not current available from iTunes/APp store yo can't rdownload it. In the USA, ringtones and audio books are not redownloadable.
For complete list see:

I have two seperate itunes accounts on two seperate devices and i can not make an itunes purchase on either one. When signing into the account it ask for the answer to security questions. I have NEVER answered a security question for these accounts. Each time it is a different set of questions. This has only happend since the original devices have been replaced/upgraded. How do I fix this? There is money in each account and both have recieved itunes giftcards for christmas that they are unable to use!

HT204088 Are you able to view iTunes purchase history on an iPad?
Are you able to view iTunes purchase history on an iPad? I am looking for purchase price as well.
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The level of information that you seek is available in the iTunes app on a computer. You can view the invoices for your entire purchase history for both the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store from there. -
Initially things worked fine. I was very pleased. I had my music library in itunes, on my Ipod nano, and a thumbdrive to back up most of my music.
When I tried to sync the music from itunes onto my new ipad mini last week it deleted the albums in itunes leaving me with only purchased itunes items in the account, On the new Ipad mini CD's from my collection could not be played but they were in fact listed. My new mac will not read the music files I backed up onto a thumb drive or show the uploaded CD music collection. Additionally when I logged into itunes with out any devices connected from my PC the itunes account was completely up to date with my CD's and purchase items in Itunes. As soon as I tried to sync it with my Ipad mini that virtual access to the collection was wiped out leaving only purchased items.
By trying to upload CD music from my Ipod nano into Itunes (originally uploaded into itunes from CD's and synced to the ipod nano in the first place, taking more than a weeks time), I am prompted to reset the entire ipod nano to factory settings (it gives no other option). I was following the instructions emailed to me from the applecare team. This was my only recourse for recovery of the lost music files, the only device left that had my album collection aside from the owned CD's. Now the ipod nano is being wiped clean and left with only the itunes purchased music ( same thing that happened with the itunes account and now the Ipad). When I disconnect the ipod nano to see if there are any albums still left on the device, it gives me an error that it was improperly disconnected.
I just wanted to add the music from itunes to my new mac and the new ipad mini. Instead I have lost all of my uploaded CD's and now have only purchased items in itunes, the new ipad mini, the new mac, and the ipod nano. I have to re-upload my entire music library into itunes/icloud from CD's again and hopefully be able to then sync it with my new devices.
However it may be better to buy the itunes purchased music on CD's from a store, Cut my losses while I can and never buy anything from apple or itunes again. Atleast I will not have my entire music collection wiped out for moving it between my own devices. Itunes match doesn't do **** either. I have wasted alot of hard earned cash on devices products and itunes purchases by converting to apple products and services.
What a big mistake.
Very dissapointed with the interface. Very Very Dissapointed!

I have just bought 2 audiobooks on my iphone and want to download onto both iphone and iPad, but it isn't showing up in my iPad iTunes as 'downloading' as it does in my iphone. I have to connect to wifi to download it so it isn't downloading yet. Help?
You get one and only one download.
You would would have to transfer your audiobook from the iphone to the computer, then sync it to your ipad -
Can I access an iTunes purchase made on a pc....on another device(iPad) ?
Tv show, music can be seen under the purchased section in the iPad itunes app.
If connected to wifi you can download them, music can also be downloaded on 3G.
Apps can be seen under purchased in the app store and downloaded.
Movies cannot be accessed due to licensing restrictions. -
i have purchsed gem in clash of clan through my credit card but i didnt recieve the gems..it has also reflected in my bank account and my itunes purchase history...how can i get them back??who should i complain to??? plz help....
You need to talk to clash of clans first. The game should have a support link.
If they can't/won't help you then you turn to iTunes support.
There seem to be a lot of issues with in app purchases in this game because not a day goes by that someone doesn't post a thread asking something similar.
