Music Purchased on Iphone will not sync to computer

Hi ,
I have purchased music on my iphone before and it has appeared on my mac itunes library.
i manage my music and vids manually and have downloaded before since i owned an iphone.
i read that if i buy the same album from the music store i will not get charged twice? is that true?

Hello j1s,
In order for the Transfer Purchases to work, you need to be logged into the same iTunes ID on the computer that the purchased content on the iPhone was purchased under:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
On the iPhone, when you purchase a song from the iTunes Store, what iTunes ID are you using?
If it is the same as the one on the computer, try the following:
Download the Free Single of the Week from the iTunes Store.
Play the song in iTunes on the computer.
Try the "Transfer purchases" option in the Store Menu again.

  • ITunes purchases on iPhone will not sync to PC

    Recent iTunes Store music purchases made on iPhone are not syncing to iTunes on PC.
    The Album Warpaint - Warpaint was pre-ordered and only the 'advanced release' song "Love is to Die" has synced to iTunes. The rest of the album has now been purchased and dowloaded onto phone, but will not sync to iTunes.
    I have iTunes 11.1.4.62 & iOS 7.0.4.

    Add'l info: iTunes purchase history shows the purchase & all songs on the playlist.

  • Music purchased on iPhone will not transfer

    I recently purchased an album on my iPhone and no matter what I do (have tried every transfer purchases menu I can see) the music still remains in the purchased file on my iPhone and will not transfer over to iTunes.
    I have tried de-authorizing and re authorizing the computer to no avail. The album WILL NOT transfer over.
    When I go into the purchased menu under my iPhone in the devices list the album is grayed out, but there.
    Help?

    Hi,
    Make sure you are signing-in to the iTunes Store with the correct AppleID.
    Try checking the iTunes Store purchases for the account as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If you don't see the music, that you want to sync from the iPhone to iTunes, you may be signed in with another AppleID.
    If you do see the music try to transfer the purchased content as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 ,
    You can contact U.S. iPhone technical support at: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466)

  • Iphone will not sync with computer

    to my knowledge my iphone versions are up to date
    I recently downloaded some ringtones from my phone,
    today I go to sync with my computer/ itunes page and nothing happens
    can't even get to my itunes page
    Help..

    Yes, I read those posts, but it did not help in my case re-install iTunes. Just more time spent on a problem that should not occur, and did not occur with 10.4.11 a few days ago. Only since upgrading to 10.5.4!
    I would not have upgraded if I could have figured out how to keep the wireless connection from dropping out all the time, but after two months of trying everything I read here and everything Apple support told me to do, it still dropped it several times per day. 10.5.4 seems to have fixed that problem so far and given me this one in return!

  • My purchased music on my iphone will not transfer to my itunes library. I have tried 'transfer purchases' but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    Please help me. I recently got a new laptop fro Christmas and i have begun to sync all my music and apps etc onto my new laptop. However, music that i have previously purchased on my iphone will not sync to my current laptop. I have tried 'transfer purchases' but only some have transfered, i still have over 200 songs to import and they won't transfer from my iphone to my laptop. Please help, it is very irritating. Thanks.

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

  • My iPhone will not sync to my iTunes

    OK, my iphone will not sync with my itunes. My phone is updated to iOS 7.0.4  and my itunes is updated to the 11.1.3 or whatever it is. I had over 1000 songs on my phone. When I hooked it up to sync some more music it deleted over 400 songs that I did not delete. They just disappeared when I hooked it up. How can  I get my music back and have it sync  to my laptop?

    I  just played all of my music couple hours ago and now its only down to 500 songs!!!

  • My iPhone will not sync apps to my computer.

    Must be something I am doing wrong. My iPhone will not sync apps to my computer.

    Be sure that your computer is authorized for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the apps in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer, and that you have checked to Sync Apps on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and have checked each of the apps you want synced.

  • My iPhone will not sync with iTunes update

    With the last update my iPhone will not sync.

    I, too, updated to ios 7.0.6 and immediately couldn't synch music to my iPhone. I erased the phone twice and ended up in a loop and couldn't even boot, just the Apple logo over and over. This worked for me:
    Hold down the home button (on the front) simultaneously with the button on the top. After 10-15 seconds the Apple log appears again and loads IOS slowly. Once was loaded, my music was back. Annoyingly, it only seems to update from the cloud.
    At least my iPhone works now.
    I can't believe Apple didn't catch this before they screwed up their customers.

  • Replacement iPhone will not sync with existing library on external HD

    I had an iPhone, and all of my music is on an external hard drive. Everything synced and worked great, no problems. However, the Apple store just replaced my iPhone on a warranty issue, and now my iPhone will not sync with my itunes. Itunes and my external hard drive work great, but the minute i plug in my new replacement iPhone, it instantly crashes my external hard drive and will not sync any of my music. Ideas?

    Hi,
    The issue might be caused by the USB connection. Try directly connecting both devices to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 provides additional USB troubleshooting tips.
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.

    Are you signed into iTunes on the computer with the same Apple ID the apps in question were "purchased" with?  Is the computer authorized for that account?

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • My Iphone will not sync with my itunes after I had to change my user and pass on my pc.  How can I fix this problem?

    I had to reset my username and password on my computer because I must have hit a wrong key when changing password.  Anyway I made a new admin user on my pc and now my iphone will not sync all the way with my itunes.  I flashes a message on the screen saying "you do not have the proper privileges" and stops the sync.  All of my contacts are gone and all of my google calander is wiped clean.  I just want my Iphone to sync now so that I can add contacts again.  What can I do?  Thank you for your time.

    bogdan0,
    Tried that but did not work.  Thank you for the reply.  However, I did find the correct thing to do though so wanted to share.
    Since on my computer I had to create a new admin account,  I had to go into the shortcut properties of Itunes.  Then hit Compatibility Tab.  Had to check Run as Admin.  
    After hitting Change settings for all users it worked just fine.

  • HT1386 iphone will not sync with itunes the apple sign just keeps popping up

    iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?
