Make iTunes purchases usable on MacBookAir?

Have new MacBookAir and an iPad. Had GeniusBar upgrade and move me to iCloud and make certain iTune purchases from iPad were on new MacBookAir. Can't figure out how to read the books, play games, etc. Do I need to purchase/download something to make these usable on the MacBookAir?

At the moment, your best option for reading books on multiple platforms (iPhones, iPads, Macs, PCs, Android, and many others) is Amazon's Kindle App.  Of course this applies only to books purchased from Amazon (it won't help for iBooks you may have purchased).  There's really no downside to using he Kindle App.

  • HT1918 I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card

    I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card, the gift card information is entered on the phone and I can see the credit amount.

    I am having the same problem and it is REALLY frustrating.
    Exact setup that you have, COMCAST, PayPal, etc....
    I have reviewed my account three times with my PayPal info and received confirmation from my PayPal Account but it still won't let me log in. Let me know if you hear anything.
    This is a REAL PAIN.

  • ATV2: Can't make iTunes purchase.

    When I try to make a purchase, I get message - "must go to the iTunes Store on your computer and verify your payment information".  Have done so, checked my apple id, password, changed credit cards, unplugged the ATV2, reset it but still get same message.  Have the latest software update.  Very frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I had this and updated cc information but eventually noticed my 'title' had been reset to blank - changing to Mr in the dropdown cured the issue, but i had no warning message  when it was blank.
    May be worth checking if the title is completed in your cc info details.

  • How do I make itunes purchased music compatible with Windows Movie Maker?

    Windows Movie Maker will not accept the itunes format and I cannot find a way to convert the files. I need to convert the format to any of the following accepted formats: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
    Please Help!

    If your iTunes Music Store purchases are 128kpbs protected (with digital rights management) AAC files, they cannot be directly converted to other formats. If the files are 256kbps unprotected iTunes Plus AAC files, you can convert them as desired for your personal use.

  • How to make itunes purchases play on a different computer...

    Ok, I got a new computer, and I want to get all my music videos on it, but when I hooked my ipod up to it... it wouldn't allow any of them to play on this computer. I checked my itunes store account stuff and it said that the purchased items could only be played on one machine. So, since I registered the account on my OTHER computer, the only way I can get them back is by buying them... AGAIN??? PLEASE help me. I'm clueless o_O and very anxious!!!
    P.S. It's a 30g ipod video, if thats any help...

    ...Ok... see, when I plugged the ipod into my new computer, and went on itunes, it said the ipod could only be synchronized on one computer (which was the other one) so of course I could get the songs back easily, I just needed my videos. So, of course, I tried the option of copying purchases onto the computer but it said one or more files were not authorized to play on tis computer blah-dee-blah, and so on.
    and I told you the rest... so if i haven't a clue what you mean, i need further explanations...
    **Sorry for rambling on... LOL

  • Can't make iTunes purchases, it keeps telling me my account info changed!

    I've been trying to purchase from iTunes for over a week and everytime I try I successfully log in with my password and then click on the album to buy. It then goes to my billing info where it asks for my credit card security number which I enter. Then it loops me back to my login info and I have to repeat these steps over again which gets me nowhere.
    I haven't changed anything on my account info, my credit card is the same. The only thing I can think of was that I used a gift card for my last purchases and have $.14 left to use. Would that be intefering with my purchases? I don't know how to get rid of or use up that last bit of money. Any tips on this would be appreciated.

    You will probably need to email the iTunes team:

  • HT5622 I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices.  Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy

    I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices.  Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon.  What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family?  Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's? 

    There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

    If you don't have a rescue email address set, then you're SoL.
    If you do, then reset your info and check in there.
    If not, you'll have to contact iTS, and wait for God knows how long for Apple to complete its pending investigation in this SNAFU.

  • HT204053 Somehow the very first email I had years ago that I don't even remember the password for, keeps coming up as my apple ID, when I want to make any purchase on ITunes. Why won't my real ID come up, and I can't find the right solution?

    Does anyone know how to eliminate a mistaken apple ID that you still use as an email
    but for some reason, now when I go to make a purchase at ITunes, it  brings up this email
    as my apple ID instead of my actual Id and it will not take the current password I have for
    this email. Somehow I believe it is confused, because years ago this was my first email, and
    it had a different password way back then, that I no longer remember.
    I am very sorry if this all sounds confusing, but my Mac book has been out of commission for the
    past year, and I have been recently trying to work on it, and I am not suave on the computer at all, so
    if my next question sounds lame, you'll know why... I wondered if that may have caused any of my
    latest hitches, only because when I first purchased Mac, 4 years ago, this rogue email was the one
    I signed up with everything on my Mac, but I have not been using it for the past 9 months, just my
    iPhone, until that died 3 months ago, and then I got this new I phone 5 2 months ago, thinking my
    problems would be..., a thing of the past,??, for at least a little while??? But NO, they have not,
    However, I'm sticking to the problem at hand, I have a full functioning apple ID that works and at
    some occasional times, ITunes would bring the correct ID up. And only once in a while bring the
    Bogus one up. But in the last few weeks, all it asks for now is the wrong ID and my frustration has
    reached its max!!' I have missed out on purchasing two apps I needed, and some music I wanted,
    and I don't think I'll be able to even use ITunes at all until I can know how to make my devices realize
    that my email is an email, not a apple ID, and then make it accept my real ID!!!
    Without having to eliminate, or delete my email address I still use, and receive mail
    at. Please forgive this lengthy explanation!!!
    I was only trying to make sense, if I confused you
    more, I'm very sorry... Thank you for any brave ones that tackle this, and actually have some
    Solutions for me.., I thank you much indeed!!  Sincerely  Kim

  • I have an iphone 4. I disconnected it from my iTunes account but I am still using the iphone and the Apple ID. If I make a purchase will it work? Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    I disconnected it from my iTunes account but I am still using the iphone and the Apple ID.

    Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    Do you mean that you removed the phone from the 'manage devices' section of your iTunes account ? If you do then that won't stop you being able to purchase items on your phone - you only need to be logged into an account to be able to purchase with it.
    If you do mean the 'manage devices' section then you can associate, or re-associate, a device (or computer) by using iTunes Match, or automatic downloads, or redownloading past purchases on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
