ITunes song purchases made using iPhone not visible in iTunes on desktop

My wife purchased some music on her iPhone 4S, and wants to transfer it to her Nano for running. When I launch iTunes on my desktop and sign in as her, the only music showing is one of my songs that I downloaded for free. Her music shows up on her 4S, and even on the 5S we just activated today, shich is also associated with her apple ID. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Have you downloaded the music onto that computer from the store or copied it from her phone ? If you use the same iTunes account then you should be able to redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page :
If you don't share the same account then you could login to her account and redownload it, but that might tie the computer to her account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
You can also connect her phone to the computer and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy those songs over. But if that isn't the computer that she syncs the phone then you should turn off auto-sync first : Edit > Preferences, Devices tab, 'Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically' tickbox.
If that will be the computer that she will be syncing to then this page for syncing to a new computer may also be useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I am unable to download itunes songs purchased on my iphone, I receive an download error tap to retry I have tried hit the pause button to try to retstart and am still unable to download the song on my iphone

I am unable to download itunes songs purchase on my iphone. I have recieve a download error that says tap to retry. I do that and keep receiving the same error. I have read some responses to try to pause the download once it is downloading and also to restart the phone, but neither have worked for me,

If you really are running OS 10.4.6 you have a long way to go!
So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

Iphone not visible in itunes

hi guys i updated ios 5 and when install i got -50 error and failed to restore now my iphone is not visible in itunes and iphone displays connect to itunes and when i insert the usb it gives double beep sound when unplugged it gives single beep pls suggest me wat can be done

Error -50 is a timeout error. Apple's advice on how to resolve this is:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

My songs aren't showing in itunes from purchases made on iphone

so I have made numerous purchases on my iphone 3g that show up in my itunes library but I have many more than it shows, when I tried the check for downloads or reauthorizing the computer nothing changes, I just want to make sure that when I upgrade to my new shiny iphone 4 sitting in my lap I don't lose any of those songs that were just on my iphone and not in my library on my computer..
can I just use the restore feature and get everything that was on my old iphone when i plug the new one in? or are the back ups usable for accessing some songs that only show up on my iphone 3g

No.
Everything needs to be on your computer.
Music/tv shows/etc are NOT part of the backup. You need to transfer ALL purchases to your computer.

Purchases on my iphone not showing in itunes

after purchasing a an album on my iphone they aren't showing up in my purchases when logging in to itunes on my laptop?

This is one of many reasons why maintaining a backup stored on an external drive or some other external media is so important - regardless the age of a computer or a computer's hard drive. Anything else of any importance that you lost - as in you don't include your iTunes library or at least purchases from the iTunes Store with your backup?
Apple includes an alert/warning message about maintaining a backup for iTunes Store purchases after a purchase is made. I assume this notice/warning was ignored along with all the other irritating pop-up warnings provided with XP and Vista?
It is your responsibility to maintain a backup of your important data including iTunes Store purchases.
You can try contacting Apple Store customer service, which can be done via email, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Some songs purchased through Facebook are not syncing onto iTunes, how can I fix this problem?

Good morning to all of you in this community. The reason for this discussion being started up is because I am having trouble uploading some mp3 files that I purchased through Facebook. most of the songs uploaded successfully with no problem, bit there are a few that I can't find although I downloaded them. I am a new user to Apple products, so this is quite an annoyance to have to be dealing with. If anyone has any helpful suggestions I would appreciate it greatly, thank you.

Interesting, this is the first time I hear one can purchase songs via Facebook. Note that unless youpurchased the songs from iTunes, you will not be able to add them to the Music app on your iPHone.

Songs I purchased on my iPhone not showing up in the cloud for download to my computer.

I purchased songs on my iPhone yesterday, and last night on my Notebook computer I was able to download the songs from the cloud with no problems. But today, on my Desktop computer, the songs do not even show that they are available in the cloud. All 3 devices (iPhone, Notebook, and desktop) are authorized to the same account in the cloud and have the latest updates for itunes. Under my account information, the songs show in my purchase history, they just are not in the cloud.
Other songs I purchase last night on the notebook computer showed in the cloud and I was able to download them to both the iPhone and the Desktop. But the songs purchased on the iPhone were not available to the Desktop.
Is there a limit to the number of devices a song can be downloaded to if purchased on the iPhone? or is there a problem with these songs that Apple needs to fix for me?

Sounds like you're using iTunes Match. Is there a cloud icon next to the name of the song? If yes you need not worry, those songs aren't actually on your device it just means you can download them to it.

ITunes song purchases will not transfer to my new computer

31 of my iTunes song purchases have been refused transfer privileges over to my new MacMini. Doesn't matter if I use my backup or transfer directly from my other computer (iMac running Tiger). The MacMini is authorized and all of my other purchases transferred with no difficulty. The message is 'this computer is not authorized for these, etc, etc. I used IMToo software to copy playlists from my iPhone to the MacMini but those 31 songs would not transfer--same message. Help is appreciated from polite forum users. Many thanks.

Continuing dilemma...I have discovered that all songs disallowed on my current computer were purchased with 2 old iTunes accounts I no longer use. They are (mylogon)@aol.com and (mylogon)@comcast.net. These songs had all been purchased prior to my previous new computer purchase (a powermac) and there was no issue transferring them over. The problem seems to have occurred because of the move from OS 4x to OS 6x--that is, I had been using Tiger, then jumped up to Snow Leopard. Perhaps my iTunes Library was apparently not as updated as I had thought. I was able to load songs over from both my iPhone and iPod and I believe I have recovered all but 4. The song files are in my system but iTunes won't permit me to play them without logging into the old accounts--which I can't do any which way the message goes. Help? Comments?

HT203433 My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue?

My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue? My phone shows the purchase but iTunes does not see it. I have gone to Store: Check for Available Downloads. Nothing. I would love to listen to this album on my iMac today, not my phone.

By purchased section do you mean the section for re-downloading via the iTunes store homepage, or the purchased section of your library ? I think that the purchased section of your library only shows purchases made on that computer, so it may necessarily show there, it may just be under Music if you've copied it over from your phone.
If you mean the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage then does any of your music purchases show there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If no music shows there then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to the music part of your library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If other music purchases show there then you are signed in with the same account as you purchased it with, it's still in the store, and it's not hidden (hiding and unhiding) ?
If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you can turn on automatic downloads via the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) so that new purchases on your phone automatically download on your Mac

I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when i plugged it into my pc a skull came up instead of the apple icon. My pc does not recognise the iPhone, I have tried everything that I can think of. Has anybody any ideas on how I can fix this?

I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when I pulg it into my pc a skull icon appears instead of the apple. The pc also does not recognise the iPhone. The phone was originally purchased in March of this year, so it is under 12 months old. Has anybody encountered this problem and or know how I can fix the phone? Thanks

You have apparently purchased a jailbroken phone. You can try to get it into recovery mode, then restore as new, but no guarantee it will work.

I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.
