New Computer Can't transfer purchased music

I just got a new computer and successfully transferred my library using the consolidate library feature. However, now, when I purchase music, I can't put it on my iPod. I can only put the music that I transferred. How do I get my purchased music to my iPod?

Hi Tyler,
Have you authorized your new PC to play your purchased music? If you haven't just try to play any of your purchased tunes on your new computer and you'll be prompted for your iTunes store ID and password, you have to be connected to the Internet. Just remember to Deauthorize your old computer if you'll be selling it or giving it away to someone you would not want to listen to your purchased music, remember you can only authorize 5 computers. To deauthorize, go to your old computer, go to Advanced > Deauthorize computer...
good luck!

  • New Computer - Can't Find Purchased Music

    I've recently moved my iTunes Library to a new computer.  There are three or four music purchases which I do not appear in the migrated librariy.  I can see these purchases in my iTunes Purchase History.  How do I recover these purchases?

    Since your question has nothing to do with itunes U,  you may want to post in a more appropriate forum.

  • I just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from one computer to another computer with all my music

    i just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from my old computer to my new computer with my music in it or do i have to sync all my cds again

    Hi,
    A painless way to do it ...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    Moving iTunes Media Folder  (Windows)

    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

  • Deactivated all computers and reactivated 1 computer. still cannot transfer purchased music.

    Deactivated all computers. Reactivated 1 computer. Cannot transfer purchased music because itunes Stores says i still have 5 computers activated already.

    If you did not already, I would try quitting iTunes and launching it again (or even restarting your computer because part of iTunes may keep running even when you quit iTunes).  Also, if you used the Deauthorize All command from the button on the Account Information screen (as described in my earlier reply), it's possible that Apple's server database needs to get updated in a way that is not immediate.  So I would try waiting a few hours and then try to authorize your laptop again.
    Question:  You said you "reactivated" your laptop.  Does that mean it was already one of your authorized computers before you gave the Deauthorize All command?  Or is this a new computer that has never been authorized with your Apple ID (iTunes Store account)?
    NOTE:  Only older 128 kbps songs purchased from the iTunes Store had DRM, so if this song is a recent purchase (without DRM), it should play whether the computer is authorized for the Apple ID or not.

  • I cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes.  The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

    I cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes.  The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

    Go to the Store menu item on the menu bar, and choose Authorize This Computer, as shown below. 
    If by any chance you don't see the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

  • Can't transfer purchased music from iTunes to iPod

    When I try to transfer purchased music from my Itunes music folder to my iPod, I get the following error message: "Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because the iPod may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
    What I have done to try to address the problem: I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, (it was only after this download, actually, that I began to have the problem) read the help article entitled "Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod", de-authorized and then re-authorized the computer (didn't work) and gone through my iPod to delete any songs that were on burned cds given to me by friends, which potentially originated from other iTunes accounts.
    Perhaps I have overlooked something, but my iPod is only registered on three computers, and I am unable to transfer my purchased music to my iPod. Interestingly, I had no problem transfering my purchased songs onto my iPod before upgrading to the latest version of iTunes last month. It has only been since the upgrade that I can no longer transfer purchases. I subscribe to several podcasts through National Public Radio (free)-- could this be a factor?
    Please help. I still have 19 GB of free space and if I can't transfer purchases, then it's kind of a waste of space. Thanks so much for your time~

    Greetings from Mancunia.
    I am having a similar problem. After years of trouble free use, my 'pod is now giving me trouble, well the new iTunes software is, anyway. See here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=255305&tstart=0
    Why can't I add my new downloaded tunes to my pod? ARRRRGH!
    help me!

  • How do I authorize a new computer to play my purchased music on iTunes

    I recently got a new computer. My previous computer has iTunes but is no longer able to access the internet. I was able to get my music library from my original computer to the new one. When I try to play music, I get a window asking me to authorize the new computer. I fill in the account and password and press the authorize button. It accepts the password then asks me to download iTunes 6.0. I downloaded and installed iTunes 6 but every time I try to play any of my music, it sends me to the music library to download iTunes 6 again.
    How do I authorize this computer to play my purchased music ?
    new computer is an HP m7590n running Windows XP Media Center 2005.

    There were two icons. One was version 4 the other was version 6. When I used Version 6, it worked.

  • HT1329 If I cannot access my old computer, can I transfer my music from other sources on my iPod touch to my new PC?

    I have purchased a new computer as my previous one can no longer be used. The problem I have is that I have a lot of music on my iPod touch from sources other than the iTunes store purchases.
    Can I transfer these files without accessing my old computer? If so, how can I do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Haev you failed to backup?  Not good.
    You may be able to purchase a third party program to retrieve the music,

  • How can I transfer purchased music to a new iTunes account for my daughter who now wants to make her own purchases?

    Daughter is over 18 and wants to make her own purchases. She has music I no longer need to share with her. Can I give it to her somehow?

    purchased music is tied to the iTunes store account (Apple ID) used to purchase the content and cannot be transferred.
    however, a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple IDs. so, all your daughter needs to do is authorize her iTunes for your Apple ID along with her own. you can use home sharing or an external HD or burn the tunes to disc to transfer them to her computer/user account on your computer.
