ITunes won't let me transfer apps from my PC to my iPod touch, how do I fix this?

I paid for several apps on my Windows PC and iTunes isn't allowing me to transfer my purchases onto my iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1), the red symbol telling me it's not possible to transfer my purchase appears every time I attempt to add an app to my iPod, regardless of the app (has been tested on a number of apps, not including the ones I wish to transfer).
Has this happened to anyone else? Could anyone shed some light on the situation and help me in fixing this problem, please?

Are you trying to manual add apps over to the device?  If so, that's not possible, as they can only be synced. See this article for more information and assistance on syncing apps to your iPod from iTunes.

Also check to make sure restrictions having been enabled for installing Apps.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.

    Do you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes with your chosen apps selected below and Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes with your selections below?

    And it won't by design and intention since you are not syncing your iPhone with your iTunes library on your computer. 
    If you have authorized the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, with your iPhone connected - at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.  
    For contacts and calendar events, is Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 available?

  • My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

    my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

    All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
    If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

  • How to transfer apps from an iPhone to an iPod touch

    I have an iPhone for work that I sync to my work computer and also have an iPod touch that I sync to my home computer. Is it possible to transfer apps purchased on either device to the other device? For example, I have the angry birds game on my phone and want to put it on my iPod touch. Is this possible?

    *Transfer apps from old iphone to new iphone:*
    1.Open iTunes on the computer that is used to maintain the other iPhone.
    Note: Make sure you are using the iTunes that belongs to the target iPhone. If you sync to her iPhone from your iTunes, you could potentially mess things up for her and yourself.
    2.Authorize iTunes to use your account information (different from the account that is currently on the computer). This can be done on up to five separate computers. To do this, go to "Store > Authorize Computer."
    3.Enter your iTunes account credentials and click "Authorize." If you have authorized too many computers, it will let you know and you will have to free one up by going to a copy of iTunes you've already authorized and choosing "Store > Deauthorize Computer."
    4.Connect the iPhone that has the licensed applications or media you want to transfer on it to iTunes (aka "your" iPhone). Connect the cable from your iPhone to the computer, and it should show up in iTunes.
    5.Right-click the iPhone icon in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases." Once the iPhone is connected, it might ask you to update, restore or back up. Do not allow it to do any of these things.
    6.Your iPhone will say "Sync in Progress," and you'll see the files being copied in the iTunes window. This process could take a long time, depending on how many purchases you have on there.
    7.Eject your iPhone from iTunes when the transfer is complete.
    8.Connect the target iPhone to the computer. It should now appear in iTunes.
    9.Go to the Applications tab for the iPhone. You should see the applications you previously transferred from the other iPhone in there. Choose the ones you want and when you are ready, click "Sync" at the bottom. The applications will transfer to this iPhone, and you're done.
    IT's a method to transfer apps from an iPhone to an new iPhone,hope it can help you.

  • ITunes won't let me transfer all of the songs on my iPod to my library!

    Okay, I have had an iTunes account & iPod on a desktop computer for the past 3 years that my parents set up. (I get a monthly allowance that's linked to my parent's credit card.) I just downloaded iTunes onto my new laptop (this computer), and followed instructions to transfer my music from my iPod to my laptop library. It only worked for about half of my songs, and told me that this computer (the laptop) was not authorized to play the songs that had not transferred. I re-authorized the computer, to no avail. Anyone able to help?
    (Also, on my iTunes display, there is no "shopping cart", just "store" and "purchased". Why is this?)

  • HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

    My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

    In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

  • ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

    iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
    Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
    What's going on? How do I fix this?

    I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you transfer music from a nano to a ipod touch?

    Can you transfer music from the nano to the ipod touch? how?

    After connecting your Ipod Touch to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod (Ipod Nano) from the File menu.
    Or you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your Ipod Touch in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Hope that helps you out.

    Yes. Import them into the iTunes library, converting them to MPEG-4 first if needed, and sync the iPod touch.

    No since you can only sync with one computer.
