Purchases in Itunes wont move from my library to my Ipod

I'm having quite a time figuring this out. Long story short...I had forgotten my Apple ID and Password so had to do a whole new one...I'm thinking this has everything to do w/ my problems, but I'll continue...
Everything I purchased on the old ID can be seen on my Ipod in Itunes under the device name (Death Star) But is not available in the ITunes Library. With my new ID I had purchased a few movies which are seen in there, but I can't move them to my device to watch on it. Kinda pointless to have movies stuck in itunes when I use my Ipod to watch them.
Now I got 2 ID's, both are the same info / I read you can't merge accounts. I jsut want to be able to buy freakin' movies and be able to watch them on my device, not in Itunes...HELP!

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
You are best off trying to recover the whole library from Time Machine backup:

HT1539 How do i transfer a movie from my library to my iPod?

How do I transfer a movie from my library to iTunes to my iPod or if possible straight from my library to my iPod?

Yes, the OP asked how to , "transfer a movie from my library to iTunes" and "or if possible straight from my library to my iPod".
This is why I asked which is why I asked "what library?".
The OP needs to come back and clarify

Unable to purchase tv shows or movies from iTunes using iPhone 5

I am unable to purchase tv shows or movies via iTunes on iPhone 5 running iOS7. Can purchase songs, have plenty of space available on the device, and no issues purchasing tv shows or movies from iTunes using my computer. Has anyone else had this issue?

Do you have the appropriate TV shows / Music Playlists checked in the corresponding tabs on the iPhone?

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

I am struggling to move an app from my library to my ipod. Help!!

i purchased an app and added it to my library. I needed to get a new ipod touch and I can't get it to move from my library to my new ipod. Can someone help? I already tried using the back up feature to reload my previously purchased apps and it didn't work.

- What happens when you trye to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod? Errors?
- What happens when you try to syc the apps to the iPod? Is the iPod signed into the same iTunes account that purchased the apps? To check/change go to Setting>Store.

ITunes 11.1 won't let me manually transfer music from my library to my iPod.

I just updated my iTunes to Version 11.1 and installed iOS 7 onto my iPod Touch. I'm trying to manually add all of the music from my library onto my iPod but it won't let me.
- Under the "Summary" tab I have the option "Manually Manage Music & Videos" checked off
- Under the "Music" tab I DO NOT have the option checked off that says "Sync Music"
- Before I upgraded to iOS 7 I deleted all of my music from my iPod and so I have full capacity of storage left on my device
- iTunes says that I have 52.71 GB Free out of 64 GB
- When I try and move any of the music from my library onto my device a red x is highlighted and it won't let me add anything to my device
- I have restarted my computer
- I have re-started my iPod Touch several times
- I tried un-installing iTunes 11.1 and then re-installing it on my PC
- My PC is running Windows 7 64Bit
I've never had this problem before so I don't understand what is wrong

If you had the same problem as me with my iphone 5, then follow these instructions and syncing new music should work.
Whilst in itunes 11.1 click the icon in the top left corner, it gives you options, click 'Add file to library' (ctrl+o) and add the music from your computer to the itunes library.
Once you see the music in your itunes library, drag the songs from your library to the right and an iphone/ipod section should appear and you drop it into your ipod.
Once this is done, click the ipod icon which should be on the right (near the top area) and once on the ipod options, go down and press sync. All the music that you added will appear on your ipod.
Hope this helped, good luck.

I want to move a movie from Shared Library to LIbrary, how do I do this?

I want to move a movie from Shared Library to LIbrary, how do I do this?

this extra info helps a lot. with home sharing you should be able to just import the file from your iMac into your MBP. this is the way i've done it at home.
-just make sure both are on with itunes open
-select your imac's library
- hightlight the file you want then click on import towards the bottom of the screen.

Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

How do I Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

It says
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

HT1473 im having adding an audiobook purchised from itunes and added to my library to my ipod. can you help?

i am having troubal moving an audiobook from my library to my ipod. it does drag but does not drop. help

Investigating further, I've found that iTunes does not handle .avi files, but that they (theoretically) can be converted using a free utility from Apple called MakeRefMovie. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get that utility to work. I've downloaded it and run it, but try as I might, I can't get it to load what it calls a "reference" movie. File..Open fails with an error, and dragging an .avi file into the MakeRefMovie window (a procedure suggested elsewhere) fails similarly. MakeRefMovie seems to be waiting for a reference movie, but what exactly is that, and how do I get it to accept one?

Can I load a purchased movie from my Mac onto the iPod ?

Can I load a purchased movie from my Mac onto the iPod ?
Yes, if the iPod is a Fifth Generation iPod, iPod classic, iPod touch, or a third or fourth generation iPod nano, and the movie is in iTunes. A Fifth Generation iPod can't play rented movies.

If you go to Settings do you see an entry for the Nike app? There is no way to delete or hide that app?
Have you tired using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.
Next would be to restore a gain. First from backup then next to factory settings/new iPod.
The Nike app you can download/install
Nike+ Running for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store
Does work on the iPOd. You just do not get all the information that GPS/cellular connection can get. You will still be able to get distance/footstrikes like the installed app an you do not need the shoe sensor.. It uses the built-in sensors on the iPod

No.

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.
