Purchased music onto PC

I have purchased a song after the 1.1.3 update with the iTunes WIFI store on my iPhone. I have selected the manually manage option for my music. Previously whenever i bought music on my phone nd connected it to my pc, it would transfer the purchase to the pc and it would appear in the purchased on iphone list. But now it doesnt tranfer music and it wont work if i do it manually. Is there any way i can do this. So if i have to restore my phone, i wont loose the music. Please any suggestions.

Agreed. It should. But mine has suddenly ceased to do this. Others have experienced this problem as well and not just on Windows-based computers. I know this doesn't solve your issue, Avinash, but at least you know you're not alone.

HT201272 I cant download my purchased music onto my new iPhone 5. I bought almost all my music through iTunes over my phone but it wont let me download "ALL"--I have to go in individually to each album.

I cant download my purchased music onto my new iPhone 5. I bought almost all my music through iTunes over my phone but it wont let me download "ALL"--I have to go in individually to each album. Can anyone help me figure out how to do a single "ALL" music download?
I even tried synching from mt computer backup but it wont do it.

You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
- Make this your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

Cannot drag and drop purchased music onto ipod

Any help please, Win XP and latest Ipod and I tunes Software
I have had Ipod for a couple of years now and now I can't seem to copy my purchased music onto my Ipod any more.
The Ipod has always been set to manual mode as I have rubbish in my library I don't wish my Ipod to suffer from.
I can copy old music from my library ok and can still import CD's and they copy ok but purchased music is a no no.
I can burn purchased music to CD and then re-burn to get around the problem.
I Look at the purchased music file on PC and it tells me that the file is locked but cannot find a way to unlock it.
Any Ideas???? Cant see any problem with permissions on files etc, etc... and still hapening after itunes and Ipod upgrade.
Many thanks if anyone can help

Thanks for the reply but I had already updated Ipod to latest before posting but still had the problem.
For all other people concerned I have now managed to fix the issue.
Windows XP users try the following.
1: Connect Ipod as usuall
2: Right click on my computer and Click on "Manage"
3: Expand the Storage tree and click on disk Management, (you can also find this in your control panel) you will see your Ipod along with all of your other fixed drives.
4: Right click on your Ipod and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
5: Click on "Change" and assign a higher letter than what it currently is. E.G (T Drive)
Click continue if you get any warnings that programs might not work etc, etc.
6: From here to make things simple shutdown your PC and reconnect your Ipod as you normally would and this fixed my problem.
It looked like there was another device using the same letter as the Ipod (Memory Card perhaps) and so setting the Ipod to somthing different seemed to fix it.
Hope the advice helps others and thanks to all the discussions that pointed me in the same and right direction.

Hello there Nihalith,
It sounds like you are trying to download a purchased album, but not all the tracks are listed as being purchased. If you still have the receipt that was emailed to you when you bought it, you can use it to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store directly with this article:

How to download purchased music onto new computer (please)?

How can I get my purchased music back onto a new computer? Old one crashed, only had some of my music on the ipod. I've followed some posts to get the ipod music back to the computer, but I see songs in itunes purchase history that are not showing up anywhere (that I can see). Is there any way to get these back? I tried the option that iTunes lists for downloading purchased music, but these didn't seem to download. Can anyone help? I'm not real computer savvy so please explain it "for dummies." thanks

For what it's worth ...
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:

Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Loading iTunes purchased music onto iPod

Hello,
I just recieved a brand new 5th generation 30GB iPod, and tried to sync it with my computer today. Most of my audio files loaded just fine, but none of the music I purchased on iTunes will load. In addition, any time I try to play some of the purchased music, it says I am not authorized, and even after reauthorizing the computer, it keeps saying I'm not authorized. This was never a problem before I hooked up the new iPod. Help?

What itunes version are you running?
I got this from a thread where bnoir suggested:
right-click on the track in your itunes library, and select "get info". click on the "Summary" tab.
is the account name on the track precisely the same as the account name that you've been entering in the authorization dialog?

Why can't I download already purchased music onto my ipad mini

I can't download already purchased music. I've tried connecting to my Macbook but it doesn't recognise my ipad mini.

Try deleting the waiting app then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I can't get my recently purchased music onto my iPod

I transferred all of my music onto my new computer. It went fine, all of my music is there, and my iPod is recognized on this computer. I just bought some new music, and when I went to add it to my iPod I realized it doesn't actually transfer. What could the problem be? Thanks!

I have the same situation with my new nano 3. I loaded about a dozen tunes from my library just fine via sync. A week later I tried to add more music and it accepted fifteen ot of ninty-four new tunes while somehow erasing the original dozen. Now I get an error message that "the disk cannot be copied from or written to." I ran the diagnostic and it tells me that all my hardware is fine, right up to the last category which is the iPod/iPhone connectivity test. This yields a strange result. The report tells me that the device is an iPod nano (3rd generation) runnig firmware version 1.1.3 and also the device's serial number. The strange part is that it also tells me "no phone or iPod found." I went through the five steps, charged battery, checked updates, re-downloaded iTunes, reset to factory defaults, etc. and still no luck. Does anybody know what driver is supposed to be used for the nano 3? I'm making a guess that it is a previous rev. to the one that comes with the new iTunes (8.0.2.20) download. Any ideas?

Authorizing purchased music onto new computer

I have loaded my library onto a new mac and am wondering if there is a way to authorize all purchased songs at once rather than one at a time?

You should only need to play one song. When you play an item you've purchased, your computer is authorised to play content purchased using your Apple Account: : About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Putting purchased music onto a new computer

My old laptop crashed so I lost my music but my purchased iTunes songs are backed up on my iPod. I now have a new laptop and have downloaded iTunes onto it. I tried connecting my iPod and chose "Transfer Purchases" but it did nothing. Anyone know how I can get the songs I bought thru iTunes on my old laptop onto my new one?

If you can play a new free song, that means your new PC is authorized. When you plugin your ipod and choose itunes menu > Store > Transfer purchases, all the older songs should get copied back to your new PC.
Since that's not happening, I think the only thing left is to contact iTS support.

Why cant I burn my purchased music onto a new dvd?

Hi,
I wanted to make a backup of the music I have purchased from the Music store. I have not burnt any backup CD’s or DVDs at all yet.
There are 134 songs with 697.3MB. (This doesnt mean much to me to be honest!) As this is too much for a CD I thought I would burn a DVD.
As per the ITs “help” instructions “to create a data CD or Burn DVD” I went into Itunes preferences and selected the advanced botton, then “Burning” header, then Disc Format and selected DVD and Preferred speed tab to 2x. I have also tried maximum speed.
The brand new DVD is a Panasonic DVD Ram 3X speed 4.7GB 120 mins rewritable.
All songs were checked and were in the “Purchased folder” I selected ‘burn disc’ from Itunes window and put the blank DVD in as requested...’checking media’ appears in the iTunes window.......
the DVD is continually ejected with no explanation as to why!
I have also “highlighted’ all of the songs and completed the same procedure as above with the same result.
I tried moving the selected playlist to a new folder with no joy again.
What am I doing wrong?
Thx George UK

Well now I know!!
fromt the apples site!

How do I re-download purchased music onto my computer?

I had to format my computer and I wanted to download the music I purchased on iTunes again... However, I can't seem to find a way to do that. Plz help!

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

HT1473 How do I sync new purchased music onto my ipod without deleting/replacing with current library. I recently changed computers and new library doesnt have any of my playlists either.

Hi All:
I recently got a new computer, authorized new one with itunes and when I go into my library it has none of my playlists that I originally created. Also, I purchased new songs on itunes and as I did in the past, I connected my ipod Nano to automatically sync to get the new music and hopefully all my playlists would go into my itunes library and I received a message asking am I sure I want to delete all my ipod contents and replace with library contents? I canceled and dont want to loose my existing ipod collection as I have more songs on there than my itunes library plus my playlists are all on my ipod. What I want to do is sync new songs to ipod and sync my playlists from ipod to my itunes library.
Please help!!
Thank you so much!
Michelle

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

Getting Purchased Music Onto Ipod (?!)

When I try to drag my purchased Itunes music into my Ipod, it doesn't let me. It says that I have over 5 accounts putting songs into my Ipod. But I've only ever used my one account to buy my songs.
What do I do?

Try to deauthorize the computer a number of times in a row.
