IPad will not transfer purchases

We have two iPads in the family both syncing on one computer under different user names. One iPad transfers apps to iTunes with no problems, but the other just flickers quickly like it is going to start, but then quickly ends the session. It also does not create an APPS folder in the library. Hence no transfer. How do I resolve this?

I just solved it. I need to authorize the iTunes account first.

  • Ipad will not transfer movies from itunes: error is video format not supported

    Recently itunes will not transfer movies I have purchased from itunes.  I can still tranfer older movies, but the two latest purchased will not synch, it says the video format is not supported.  it seems odd that APPLE movies from APPLE itunes will not play on my APPLE ipad.  APPLE support was no help at all.  I have retored the ipad and updated the software to the most recent version and nothing has worked.

    I am having same problem with iPad and 3GS phones. Did you figure out how to do it?

  • ITunes will NOT transfer purchases made via Apple TV - ATV HD is now FULL!

    For an unknown reason, All of my recent PURCHASES made via Apple TV remain on ATV as they will NOT TRANSFER to my iTunes. Now my ATV drive is full.
    No changes have been made to either configuration.
    The only update that was installed during this period was to BootCamp.
    Please fix this issue. It's been around for a long long time.

    Problem still exists. Have tried all suggestions that I have found so far on the web.
    Resetting is not an option as I live in a RURAL are where the local ISP charges by Gbytes transferred.
    The only option I see at this time is to hack the ATV to accept a USB drive and manually transfer.
    Please post any success you might have with this issue.
    ZERO follow through from Apple is not acceptable.

  • ITunes will not transfer purchases

    I installed Vista x64, which does not work with iTunes. So, I use an old XP box, and now iTunes will not let me transfer my purchases. It says something like "This does not belong to this computer," even though I just wiped my iPod. It still does not work. Does anybody have the answer?

    Actually, it just works so nevermind

  • Apple TV1 will NOT transfer purchases back to iMac

    Hi All,
    Last night I purchased two videos on my Apple TV (1st Gen). When I tried to transfer purchases back to my iMac, they did not transfer. I tried rebooting my ATV, then tried re-syncing, then I tried de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac, still no resolution. All the devices have the latest software updates as well as my iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response WC. I will do what you suggested when I get home. So was I NOT supposed to buy those videos on ATV? And going forward, am I supposed to buy from iTunes only and stream it to watch it? Seems to be an inconvenient way of buying, if you're using ATV and you see something you like and you want to buy it and watch it immediately.

  • IPhone will not Transfer Purchases, iTunes will not download apps.

    Hey everybody,
    My iPhone 3G S and/or copy of iTunes is behaving strangely. I'm able to download apps directly onto my iPhone, but when I attempt to transfer my purchases back to iTunes it begins the transfer and then just stops without any kind of warning or error message. When I try to download copies of my apps directly from iTunes I get the following message:
    "There was a problem downloading “[App Name]”. The required disk cannot be found.
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I've searched around and found a few problems like mine, but nothing exact. A few articles have suggested a work around solution: unplugging all other USB devices while iTunes syncs. I can't really do that in my case because my entire iTunes library is on an external drive (plus it's kind of dumb to have to do that every time).
    Does anyone know what I need to do?

    You nailed it. I guess I've been putting too much faith in my little USB hub.
    I ejected my external drives, unplugged all my USB connections, unplugged my hub from the wall outlet, plugged everything back in, reloaded iTunes, and now I'm good to go!

  • I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentione

    I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

    And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
    You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
    But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
    Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?

  • My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

    My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

    As stated above - purchasing more space in iCloud has nothing to do with this. You do not have enough space left on the iPad for the movie to download, you need to delete content on the device itself.
    You may want to transfer purchases to iTunes and then delete some content on the device to make room.
    Transfer purchases.

    This article explains how to delete content from the device

    Do not delete any important content without backing up, transferring purchases or transferring files to your computer.

  • I have purchased actual ring tones, not songs or MP3s, RING TONES.  They used to be on my Iphone but when I got a new laptop and downloaded new ITunes, they are showing up in Itunes in RINGTONES, but will not transfer to my iphone. They are checked. Help?

    I have purchased actual ringtones from the ITunes store.  They were working fine on my Iphone 3 before, but I got a new laptop and the new version of ITunes, and now even though they are listed as ring tones on my ITunes, they will not transfer to my Iphone.  (Please do not tell me they are songs and not ring tones, they are definitely RING TONES!)  Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

  • My Ipod will not transfer all of its songs to purchased Itunes song transfer.  My last pv crashed, I dont have access to it any more.  I want my library back on Itunes.  ANy help?

    My Ipod will not transfer songs.  my old PC crashed and could not recover anything from it.  When I purchased my new Dell, when I loaded Itunes back on to it my content library will only transfer over purchased Itune songs.  I have tons of songs I downloaded from the old "CD" onto my new Itunes account from my Ipod.  Any help?

    so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library?  since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct?  So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer."   Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct?  while having the others on there that wont transfer?

    I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told.  An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here.  That does not seem to be the case.    We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
    Thanks, John

    Unfortunately, no other solution is available.
    Hope this helps
