Itunes doesn't transfer bought apps

ok, i'm on 10.10.3 and itunes 12.1.2
I bought a flashcard app a while ago, and when I wanted to update, and sync I get a msg saying that the ipad mini couldn't be synced, cause the computer isn't authorized anymore for the bought items. Adding I have to authorize this computer.
So I did from the menu, I'm getting : this computer is one of five autorized.
But I'm still getting the same error msg when syncing, even when relaunching itunes and rebooting...
I don't remember whether I bought the app with another apple ID, but I'm quite lost now as how to get the app working...
Thanks for any help

Hey heusnie,
The article linked below details how to determine what Apple ID your app was purchased under (substitute 'purchased app' for 'purchased song' in the steps under 'Authorize your purchases with the correct account name').
If iTunes repeatedly prompts you to authorize you computer

I updated os on my iphone and itunes did not transfer my apps, what can i do?

I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5, in the processs itunes asked me if i wanted to transfer my purchased apps to my iphone, I clicked on transfer, however itunes did not transfer the apps and removed them from my iphone. How can i recover the apps I purchased?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

TS1363 My iPhone 5S will backup to both my PC and cloud, it says it's synching, but new music I've put in to iTunes doesn't transfer over. I ran diagnostics and it says it doesn't see the device. Never had a problem before...

My iPhone 5s will backup to both my PC and cloud, it then says it's syncing, but new music that I put in to iTunes doesn't transfer over to the phone.

It depends on the iPod shuffle model... Assuming your shuffle is the 4th gen (or 3rd gen) model, do you use automatic syncing or the manual method (drag and drop song on iPod in iTunes)?
This document shows the four shuffle models, and provides general info about loading content on shuffles

ITunes doesn't sync some apps to iPhone

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5. After that iTunes doesn't sync anymore some apps to phone. When I try to sync them to iPhone, in the end on syncing iPhone shows a message, that the installing of that app was unsuccesful. iTunes doesn't say anything about that. The problem occurs with about a half of apps which I have on my computer. There isn't anything error code or something like that, phone simply says that installing was unsuccesful. The messages comes always when the app is loaded to phone and phone tries to install that.
I have latest version of iTunes 10.5 and iOS5 on phone. I have tried booting phone and computer. What is the problem, that some apps doesn't simply get installed to phone? I think it doesn't matter if the app is mine or my friend's, because some of his apps get installed and some not, same thing with my apps.
I'll be thankful for help

It just keep repeating all over again & again.. All the apps can't sync back into the phone even i authorised it. But i can still download from the app store thru my iphone but when i wanna sync with my itunes again, the same things appear again..

Transfer bought apps between macs

I'm thinking about getting a new mac but I have a lot of purchased apps on my current mac. Will I be able to transfer those apps without having to pay for them again?

Whatever apps you bought with your Apple ID are yours to install on all your Macs.
It is a better idea to download them on each Mac, rather than attempt to transfer or copy them from one to another, which may or may not work.

How to transfer bought apps from old L800 to new L...

Got new L925 today but just cannot figure it out how to transfer applications which I have bought to my old L800. Anyone solved this?

@Allu71 Hello. Welcome to the forum.
You need to set up the same Microsoft account on the new phone. After this, you may go to the Windows Phone Store on the web > Purchase history > Reinstall. You can have more info here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq

I just got a new laptop and I got rid of my old one and iTunes won't transfer my apps on my iPod 4g how i get my apps to show on my laptop?

I just got a new laptop and my new one says i cant have my ipod synced to another account and it wants to erase all my apps

That is right. An iDevice can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you still have the computer just cpy/export yur iTunes libray to a USB stick or similar and import it ito the new computer. Also copy the iPod backup file to the new computer. That file is locaed here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Transfer iTunes purhases to the new computer by:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Then let iTunes erase you iPod and restore the iPod from the backup and then sync.

URGENT: Stuff I Purchase I Itunes doesn't Transfer!

I just purchased an application, Dracula or something like that for my Ipod Touch and it never downloaded and transferred over to my Itunes. Something this occured a month ago or so when I purchased a Darian Rucker single and it never showed up on my Itunes. At that time I thought I didn't do something right. Well now I know I did it right but not there!
So is there something I did wrong? Do I have to wait? Or do I have to directly contact Itunes support.

Thanks for your reply but I don't think that's the issue. Here's why:
It only happens on certain iTunes movies. If I play the preview for the movie the sound plays perfectly. I can watch the same scene in a preview and hear the voices but when I watch it in the downloaded movie it doesn't play the voices.
I can also play movies that I Airplay from my computer and the sound is again, perfect voices and all.

Itunes doesn't transfer videopodcasts

Hi!
I have a very strange problem:
I'm subscribed to some itunes feeds of audio and video podcasts. Itunes downloads the podcasts regularly, but the ones from a certain date of a certain directory (or feed, if you prefer) aren't transferred to my ipod. For the other directories the aren't any problems. All the podcasts are regularly transfered to ipod.
I've tried manually to select the podcasts i want to be transfered, but it doesn't work at all. It seems like all the podcasts of that directory (from a certain date on) do not exist! But i checked my directory in my pc and they are present!
I tried to reinstall both itunes and the ipod software, without any good result.
Please help!

Wonderful. Fantastic. Spectacular. Apple doesn't support 5th generation ipods and here there no answers to my problem. I will never buy apple products again. thank you.

Itunes doesn't want bought song to be copied on my Ipod mini

Hi,
My Ipod mini (latest model) worked fine till few days ago when Itunes deleted from my Ipod all the the songs I bought on the apple music store. Itunes showed a popup telling me that not all my songs were uploaded onto my Ipod because I didn't have the right to play them on it ?..?.
Thks in adv. for your help.

You should also ensure you are up to date with iPod and iTunes software.

After operating system upgrade my iTunes doesn't have my Apps

I updated my MacBook Pro to the new operating system today. Unfortunately the update crashed my iphone and i had to restore it to the original settings and then restore it from my latest back up (which fortunately i backed it up today). However, I only have about 10% of my apps on my phone. I then went to iTunes to try to restore my apps from there but I can't find the list of all my previously purchased/downloaded apps.   Please help!

I've been fooling around and discovered a couple of problems. I couldn't understand why apps I KNEW that i paid for and were on my phone were now showing up as a charge. Turns out I have overlapping problems at play here. I purchased a MacBook Pro a couple of months ago and a friend set it up for me. Turns out that he didn't make my MacBook "authorized" for my iTunes account.   I did that and then the apps changed to show "downloaded" so I no longer had to pay to download it again. I thought I had solved my problem. But the apps still weren't showing up as a list for me to sync. I downloaded a couple again, hoping that it would help me find where they were going, and it did go to the screen that showed what had been downloaded and the pages from my phone. I tried to sync and received a warning. Apparently my apps are all connected to my iTunes library from my old laptop (which has been reformated and given to my Mom so thats not a solution). It says that if i sync now, i will forever lose all the apps i have in that other library.
Any ideas how to fix this?    I could start from scratch... but i hope I don't have to do that.

ITunes doesn't transfer all files to IPOD

The audibooks hat it won't add were all downloaded yesterday.

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync them to your iPod:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Did you look in the More section of the Music app?
Have you tried using the Spotlight search> Maybe you just can't find them
