ITunes balance between computers

Hello,
I just bought an iTunes gift card and redeemed it using my PC. I then when to my Mac, and I saw that my balance didn't increase. I didn't make any purchases. How do I get my Mac to get the same amount of money I have when I use my PC onto my Mac?
I am still learning how to use a Mac, since I am quite new to this operating system.
Thank you in advance for the time in helping me resolve my issue. It's greatly appreciated!

Hi there,
The article iTunes Store: How to redeem a code has some information you may find helpful.
Be sure to sign in to the iTunes Store on a regular basis to update your credit count since your credits may expire. Each time you make a purchase, funds will be deducted from the credit until the credit is used up. To refresh your visible credit balance, sign in to your account in the iTunes Store. Your updated credit amount appears next to your account name.

How to share one Itunes account between computers

I'm trying to figure out how to actually move music in Itunes from one computer to another. I have the same account set up on both my desktop and laptop and I can access music from one on the other when they are both signed into Itunes. However, I would like to move some music from the desktop onto my laptop. Can I do this without hooking them up together (i.e. firewire cable, or whatever you would normally use)? Thanks!

Hi,
We have something similar with 2 computers at home, and use 'iTunes Library Updater' (freeware on http://itlu.ownz.ch/wordpress/) which should serve your purpose.

HT204266 I have two different iTunes balances between Mac and iPhone. How do I combine them?

I have one balance for the App Store on my iPhone (ios 4), and my mac (Snow Leopard) iTunes and AppStore, and iPhone iTunes all share a different balance. When a purchase is made on one balance, the other balance is unaffected.
How can I combine the two balances? Any idea what caused it?

I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

If they are both authorized to your AppleID (which a work-owned computer might not be) you can, easily.
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 and iTunes Match 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 notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If they are not authorized then you might have limited success with hand-copying files to a flash drive. Supposedly DRM has been removed from music files and they do not need authorization, but movies would need for you to authorize the computer.

Transferring Itunes data between computers using an external hard drive.

I just bought a new laptop and an external hard drive. What is the best way to go about transfering all of my 1400 songs on Itunes from my old computer to my new laptop using the external hard drive? I have purchased some songs from Itunes but mostly they were not bought there. Thanks in advance.

The guide for using the iPod as a hard drive is a good starting point. Just skip on past the part about enabling the iPod as a hard drive and read from "Is all the music together?". Substitute "external hard drive" for "iPod" and the instructions are the same: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

HT204053 The music I have on iTunes is all from my CDs. Can I copy the contents of my iTunes music between computers/pads/phones?

I'm starting to buy e-books, and e-magazines/newspapers. So far they are scattered about on my Air/Pads/Phone. They come in a variety of formats. iTunes, Kindle, PDF, and more. There are also some I want that will need an Android machine to download.
I need to keep track of all these, preferably in one place (the iCloud?). I would prefer them all to be in the same format; iTunes or PDF, preferably, but anything reasonable considered. BTW I use EndNote - could I store them in there?
Thanx in advance.

Transferring iTunes librarys between computers.

Hey I just got a new Macbook Pro and I transferred all my music and iTunes stuff to it, but when I transferred everything over all my song's playcounts were erased. I used My top 25 most played smart playlist a lot and now it's useless. All the information used to be on my mom's pc. Is there any way I could get that information off of that computer onto this one?

That's basically what I did. I used a external hard drive and just copied/paste the whole music folder from the pc to my new computer.
Which "whole music folder"?
Was it \My Music\ folder which contains an iTunes folder or \iTunes music\ folder, which is in \My Music\iTunes\ folder?
The playcount is stored in the \My Music\iTunes\iTunes library.itl file.
Does the iTunes Music Library.xml file have anything to do with it?
iTunes creates this file only fro opther applications to access iTunes library.
Not sure if playcount is in this file but it can be imported into iTunes.
If you do import it, it will duplicate all your playlists.

Transferring iTunes rentals between computers?

I have several devices which could accept iTunes rentals - an iPhone, an Apple TV, and multiple computer systems. If I have a rental I downloaded on System A (the system the AppleTV is synced to), I can move the rental to the AppleTV with no problem. I have not tried it, but I am sure I can move the rental to the iPhone. However, System A is a desktop and I would like to move it to System B (a laptop) for when I am on the go. What's the solution here?

Hi Colbat,
It's easy. The most recommended way is to transfer it first to your iPhone and then to your laptop.
The be sure your laptop is also authorized to play iTunes content using your account.
Hope this helps!

ITunes Library shared between computers?

I have an iMac (OSX Lion) with two user accounts that are both sharing the same iTunes Library. We now have a Macbook Air with the same user accounts. The Macbook Air obviously does not have the same hard drive space and I therefore did not choose to migrate the library to the Air...What is the best way for each user to access the shared iTunes folder from the iMac? I would like to do this while on the same LAN as well as remotely if possible.
I assume that simply setting iTunes up for "Sharing" will handle the local area question, but what about while we are away from home? I assume that iCloud with iTunes Match would be the only answer?

Rented movies cannot be shared between computers. They can only exist on a single device at a time, and can only be moved from a computer to a player such as an iPod, iPhone or Apple TV. You cannot move a rental from one computer to another.
And yes, actually they do say that, in the Rentals FAQ, among other places.

How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.
