ITunes 12 bugs 1 - right-click to Transfer Purchases no longer available

After upgrading OS X Yosemite and iTunes 12.0.1, when an iPhone is connected to iTunes, I cannot find the usual way to right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases.
So, when I upgraded the iPhone to iOS8.1, I was warned that some purchases on my iPhone are not transferred.

It's moved to File>Devices in the iTunes menu.

You're on the right track, because this one is usually (at the moment) a compatibility problem. But if you're getting this when launching iTunes, instead try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

ITunes crashes when try to Transfer Purchases from iPhone

When i try to transfer the songs i purchased on my iphone to itunes library by clicking transfer purchases, i get the following message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and i get kicked out.
I've tried unistalling itunes / quicktime and reinstalling them, but same problem persists. Latest edition of itunes installed. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue, have you had any joy? My transfer gets right to the end, and then shuts itunes down and doesn't complete the transfer?

I have mistakenly opened up a new iTunes account. Can I transfer purchases from one account to the other?

I have recently bought a new iPad mini and tried to set it up and share with my old iTunes account.
I thought I was changing email addresses for contact info, but was actually setting up a new iTunes account and paid for the £21 a year sharing service.
I have a few (not many) tunes purchased on my old iTunes account.
Is there a way of merging/closing my old account and transferring purchases across to the new iTunes account?
I could swap between the two, but doing that on the phone/ipad will mean I cannot swap back for 90 days!!!!!
Thanks

Did you ever get around to transfer purchases from your old iPhone to iTunes in your computer. If you did, your ringtone will be there and all you need to do is sync it back to your new iPhone.
Ringtones can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store that is why the user guides recommend that you transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.
If you never synced your old iPhone to iTunes, then you need to do that now so that you can get your ringtone on your new iPhone.

Itunes closes when trying to transfer purchases from ipod or iphone

Using a PC with Vista. Installed iOS 5 this morning. Cannot update either ipod touch 3g or iphone 3g with software update until "prior purchases are transferred to itune" - unfortunately every time I try to "transfer the prior purchases" Itunes closes completely. I've been working on this for hours now. Anyone got any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks.

Your Post is a bit confusing

If you are using iTunes, you cant transfer purchases in the iPod to the Mac, you need 3rd Party Software.
Have a nice day!

ITunes 5.0 won't transfer purchased music to iPod

Hi, I just upgraded both my iPod and iTunes to 5.0. Now when I update my iPod iTunes says it can't transfer some of my music because my iPod software is "too old," and to go to apple.com and upgrade.
Now I have re-upgraded my iPod software several times with the same upgrade just in case there was a problem with the install. I have also reset my iPod to factory settings just in case that did something and I have restarted my computer plenty. Regardless, none of the music that I have purchased from iTunes gets transferred to my iPod, and iTunes still says my iPod needs to be upgraded.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

I had a similar frustrating problem of my iPod losing its songs on it and not syncing any new purchased songs to it from iTunes. I do have a solution folks !
The solution that worked for me:
I trashed the newest iPod updater 2005-9-26 from my Utilities folder and then updated with the 2005-6-26 version 2.3 again that was already in the folder. I do still have iTunes 5 so seems like it's either a big problem with the newest iPod updater (2005-9-26) or the combination of the newest iPod updater with iTunes 5.
In short, for things to get working correctly on your iPod again ... get rid of the new and in with the old .......I'm happy now, try it !
And to think that Apple told me I had to pay $49.95 good for only 5 days of trouble shooting advice on this problem .... highway robbery !

ITunes freezing while trying to transfer purchases

I just bought a new computer, and I'm trying to transfer my purchases to itunes, but it keeps freezing, and not only that, it tries to authorize the computer. I first auth'd it when I downloaded itunes and signed in. It also keeps bringing up my step mothers login, and shes thousands of miles away,and I've never logged into her computer before with my ipod, and its not authorized. I'm going crazy here, and itunes support isnt really a big help for this issue. anyone have any ideas on how I can transfer my purcahses?

Since I am not having that problem, I'm not sure it will work.
But one thing you can do is open itunes with a completely blank library. See if those purchases will transfer into a blank library. Article on making a new library:

Make sure you only press the transfer purchases or things will go VERY wrong. But I think you know that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
DO NOT PRESS ERASE AND SYNC.
Also - was that 3rd party program free, or something you paid for? The free ones I've tried have had some problems. If you paid for it, I would ask for support on getting those 100 lost tracks.
Just curious, which 3rd-party ipod manager was it?

Itunes 9 -- right-click and freeze

in iTunes9, i right-click on a track and I get SBBOD for approximately 2 minutes while the program figures things out.
boo-urns.
update plz

I see the same thing. I am having a slightly different issue since the upgrade to 9. Several episodes of the same podcast are listed seperately now. So if you have 10 episodes of one podcast, you might have 6 podcasts listed, all with the same name but some with just one episode in it and some with multiple episodes. They are not seperated out in my iPhone when I sync nor are they stored in different files in my My Music folder. Can't figure out why it started doing this and am frustrated because it is hard to read what I have now since the list is very long. Any idas?

ITunes 9 right-click menu, 'get info' replaced with 'play/pause'

Why oh why have apple moved this... now when I want to quickly edit the tag of a file I'm playing or pausing... the most infuriating thing ever, almost as bad as when they decided to leave off "group compilations" on iPod classics.
Is there anyway to remove the play/pause option on right click menu's?!?

Agreed. It even is actually out of context in the right click menu, and here's why.
Example, I am playing Song A and then pause it and I want to deal with Song Z way at the bottom. If I right click Song Z and click Play, it continues playing Song A so the right click tool becomes VERY misleading.
Think about it. EVERY option in the Right-Click/Alt-Click box relates to the selected song(s) EXCEPT for the Play/Pause option. Sounds like a case of "which one of these is not like the other" you know? Therefore with the several other options of Space Bar, the Play/Pause button in the Upper Left hand corner, and the Control->PLAY, I'd say REMOVE it entirely from the right click menu since it doesn't belong.

Installed snow leopard and the right click on my mouse no longer works. Any ideas?

I just replaced my hard drive and installed a clean copy snow leopard with all updates. The right mouse button (normal wired mouse that came with imac) with the menu drop down is no longer working. changed secondary button in mouse settings and got the right click menu but now when I right click the file or group of files are no longer highlighted. this *****. any ideas?? Between the hassle of replacing a hard drive, mouse problems, firefox, opera, office mac and elgato tv problems and issues im fed up.

Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse should give you controls over the mouse. If not, either Steer Mouse or USB Overdrive might give you better control.

Why can't I access the data when I right click my pie chart any longer?

I don't know what happened but I need to change some data in my pie chart but I nolonger get the data option when right-clicking the chart...

then I guess at some point it has been ungrouped, which makes it simply a collection of objects, rather than a graph. you're supposed to get this message when that happens. did you see this at any point? when did it stop being editable?

Right-click finder context menu no longer works

When I bring up the context menu on any file/folder in my finder or desktop, none of the actions work - such as "Move to Trash", "Get Info", "Duplicate". In debugging I removed MagicPrefs, thinking it might issues with the mouse.
It works if I used shortcut keys, or drag files to the trash.
I'm not sure what changed recently - any help would be greatly appreciated.
-John

I'm able to bring up the menu (by right-click or control-click), all the options are enabled (nothing grayed out) ... when I choose any of them, nothing happens. No UI error, nothing in any of the logs I looked at.
I switched to a wire-mouse and got the same result. I used the track pad and got the same result.
Another observation - the labels do work, I can label a file some color and then remove it.

Right-Click on an entry no longer works

All of a sudden when I right-click on an entry the drop down box to copy, paste, etc has vanished. Help! I used the calendar all the time and and this helps in the process. Thanks for all the help.

GoatMan1967,
Are there any items in those folders?
Can you gain access to contextual menus in other
applications? If not I suspect a corrupted contextual
menu item.
If other applications are unaffected, it may be
beneficial to find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in
your Macintosh
HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder,
drag it to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and
let us know what happens.
;~)
Okay moved the com.apple.ical.plist to desktip and restarted with no change.
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Contextual Menu Items
AutomatorCMM.plugin
FolderActionsMenu.plugin
SpotlightCM.plugin
Macintosh HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items
0 items
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Contextual Menu Items
No folder named this.
Still having problems only in Ical nothing else.
Thanks for trying!

Photoshop CC - right click on title bar no longer opens image dialog box

Hi,
I just noticed that since the last update of photoshop CC I can no longer access the dialog boxes for image info, image size, canvas size, copy image, etc from the right click menu on the titlebar of the image screen.
I have to resort now to shortcuts like ctrl + alt + i and ctrl + alt + c (image size, canvas size).
Was this removed on purpose?

I see this got already answered at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6020828#6020828
