ITunes wont download purchased items from iPhone

I have a a iPhone 3G and I purchased a song on the phone and when I sync it with iTunes it gives me the error "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How do I fix this?

My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

Transform purchased items from iphone to itunes

Dear Apple support,
While I tried to update my 5s to 7.0.4. itunes asked to back up my purchased items. I tried to download my purchased items as the instruction shown herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
However, I couldnt find any purchased items. I have paid a few apps but I have removed the apps couple weeks ago while I was still using iphone4. I noticed the purchased items became free next time I try to download them after removed from my phone. I am just wondering is there any other ways that I can download my purchased items to my itunes, since I cant locate them from my phone no matter I tab "all' or "not in this iphone"?
Many thanks,
Friedlittlefish

You can always re-download the item (an app?) when in iTunes without additional cost. You can also connect the device to itunes, choose the device from the device list and then from the iTunes menu (the File menu??) you can select to sync new items from the device to itunes.

Re-downloading purchased items from Itunes

I had my PC repaired recently and lost all of my downloaded music and TV shows that were purchased from the Itunes store. Anyone knw how I re-download the purchased items on my new PC?

Where is your backup copy? This is basic.
"PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."

As Niel suggests, you can ask for an exception, but they are not obligated to allow.

I NEED HELP DOWNLOADING PURCHASED ITEMS FROM ICLOUD

"You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days" is the message i keep getting on my screen when i try to download my TV shows from icloud. I dont understand why I cannot down load stuff. Someone, kindly explain what i need to do to get my shows down loaded. I cant wait for 64 more days before downloading.I write this because in addition to the above message i keep getting when trying to download, i also get "this computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 64 days".This is v frustrating for me. Is there something i need to be doing or not?

Sounds like you recently authorized/deautorized that computer with a different apple id. To download purchases with the apple ID that is currently authorized follow these instructions Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

You just resync your iPhone with iTunes on your laptop.
If you are logged with the same Apple ID on both devices it should be available to download from your phone:
Open App Store app > Updates > Purchased

HT1689 How do I use the credit from an itunes card to purchase items from the itunes store instead of the credit card linked to my account?

I redeemed an itunes card on my iphone and when I try to make a purchase, it uses the credit card linked to my account instead of the credit from the itunes card. How do I change this?

If you re-download purchased items from the icloud are you downloading it for free or is it charging you again?? because when you press the download button you have to add your password and press buy again

so still a little confused it gives you a huge list of the stuff you have purchased and stuff that is no longer in your library with the option to re-download it but i'm still not sure if it is free to download it or whther we are having to pay for it again??? can anybody help???

No, I have not taken my phone for exchange as I think it is a coin toss as to if the new one will be better or possibly have issues I do not have on this one.
I also get emails, and with Mobile Me almost instantly, just like Steve Jobs showed. Mobile Me works great, as do all the other emails, so I do not think this is an issue with just my phone. The problem only occurs under the following conditions.
1) I use Wi-Fi to browse the Internet, get email, or whatever.
2) I then turn on 3G in an area that does not have 3G and barely has Edge (Wi-Fi is off).
3) I go to work where I get full bars on 3G.
Now, at work after I have done the 3 above things, I get no emails on any email account, including Mobile Me until I either power the phone all the way off or completely close out the email App by holding down the home button. If I do power the phone off after using Wi-Fi before I go to bed for example, then email works fine.

Update to iTunes 10.3.1
After you have finished, you can re download your iTunes purchases without having to re purchase.
iTunes 10.3.1

The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Did you fail to back up your purchases?
If so, then they are gone.

I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/ when i go to iTunes>Purchased it says that the songs have already been downloaded, which means i cant re-download them. is there a way I can re-download my previous purchased songs?

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.
