Transfer purchase from iPad to itunes

Since the update I have been unable to transfer purchases from my iPad to my iMac.  This is true of both iPads and my iPhone.  I am also unable to download the same file directly from iTunes store.  Does anybody know how to get this purchase to transfer?  It appears that the file is transferring, but it does not complete the transfer. 

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases.

  • TS1389 Error message: transfer purchases from iphone into itunes not authorized.  But the computer IS authorized.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Trying to transfer purchases from iphone into itunes I keep getting error that computer is not authorized.  But it IS authorized,  any suggestions?  Thanks,

    It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
    You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
    TCP 123
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    TCP 80
    TCP 4343
    TCP 53

  • Abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes

    How to abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes when sync process? Every time when I sync my iPad Mini (iOS 8.1.3.) to iTunes (Mac OS, 12.0.1) every app is copied to iTunes media on my Mac. How avoid this unnecessary process?

    If you only delete the files from your Mac via Finder, but leave them listed in the Apps part of your iTunes library, then they will not be copied back from your iPad when you sync again (unless there is a newer version on it).
    If you do have to restore to a backup at any point in the future then to restore to an iTunes backup you will need the apps on your computer (a backup does not contain the actual apps, just their content/settings), and you may not be able to redownload them from the store (e.g. if the developer has removed them). An iCloud backup also doesn't contain your apps, it will redownload what it can from the store.

  • Help: iTunes freezing when I try to transfer purchases from iPad 2.

    iTunes freezes when I try to transfer purchases from my iPad 2 to my laptop (MS Vista). It starts to transfer purchases but eventually results in iTunes not responding or my device timing out.  I've tried Disk Cleanup/Defrag and uninstall/re-install of iTunes in the correct sequence. Can anyone please help me?

    How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes? 
    Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

  • HT1918 how do I transfer purchases from an old itunes account to a new one?

    I recently bought a new Macbook and just transfered my iTunes library from my old one by using an external hard drive.  It turns out that a lot of my music was bought through an old itunes account and I can't remember the password for that account so as to authorize my new computer.  I have since started a new account and want to know if there's a way I can move what I purchased through my old account into my current account.  Help! 

    Sorry, but you cannot transfer purchases from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll need to continue to use that old account ID for authorizations and re-downloads. If you can't remember the password, you should be able to reset it through this web page:

  • Unable to transfer purchases on iPad to itunes

    Can't transfer ap purchases on devices to iTunes after re-downloaded iTunes.  After a Lion reinstall(over existing) I could not get iTunes to recognize the data on my MacBook and it asked me to download iTunes again which I did.  Now everything seems ok except this problem.  It seems now anything purchased on my devices will not transfer.
    I've tried deauth and reauth the computer and manually transferring them, no help.

    Plug your device into the computer; In iTunes right-click on your device name under the Devices listing; Select "Transfer Purchases from..."
    You can also re-download all your purchase through the iTunes Store by selecting Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right.

  • When doing Transfer Purchases from an iDevice, iTunes transfers podcasts

    When I connect my iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to my Mac and choose Transfer Purchases, I expect iTunes to copy all of the songs, videos and apps from the iDevice to iTunes. It does that but it also transfers podcasts I've downloaded on the iDevice, which is annoying. I always then have to delete the podcast from iTunes and from the iDevice. Is there some way to exclude podcasts from the Transfer Purchases function?

    okay, should have serched a little more..  all I had to do was CTRL + b in my library to view the file menu, and under File -> Devices -> transfer purchases
    Please ignore this question!

  • Trying to transfer purchases from iPod crashes iTunes

    My laptop was recently stolen along with my backup, so my iPod (Classic, 120 GB) is the only copy of my digital music. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes purchases from the iPod to the new computer's hard drive, but it crashes iTunes every time I try to do this.
    I transferred most of my music (around 8900/9000 tracks) using a 3rd party program, since most of my music was burned from CDs, and that managed to get most of my iTunes store purchases as well. However, the last 100 songs include several iTunes tracks. They won't transfer with either iTunes, Music Rescue, or MediaWidget.
    Anyone have any suggestions for a way of transferring my remaining files (especially the iTunes ones)?

    Since I am not having that problem, I'm not sure it will work.
    But one thing you can do is open itunes with a completely blank library. See if those purchases will transfer into a blank library. Article on making a new library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    Make sure you only press the transfer purchases or things will go VERY wrong. But I think you know that.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    DO NOT PRESS ERASE AND SYNC.
    Also - was that 3rd party program free, or something you paid for? The free ones I've tried have had some problems. If you paid for it, I would ask for support on getting those 100 lost tracks.
    Just curious, which 3rd-party ipod manager was it?

  • Itunes unable to transfer all purchases from ipad

    So whenever i try to transfer purchases from ipad onto itunes there comes an error saying some of the purchases couldn't be transferred because this computer isn't authorized to.
    I then authorize and it says i've already authorized. But try transferring again, the error message still shows up.
    All the purchases in the ipad haven't been done from the same apple ID.
    So is it that the purchases from a different apple id than the one logged onto in itunes cannot be transferred or something?
    I hope i'm clear enough!
    Kindly help!

    I have tried the method of authorizing my computer and then initiating transfer purchases method yet my purchases were not transfered. I was told Apple can put your purchases in a certain place for you to retrieve them in your I-tunes account.
    Is there any way you can help me with this problem?

  • How to transfer files from ipad to new computer

    I am trying to find out how to transfer files, (Music, Videos, Ect.) from my iPad to a another computer. I lost all my files on my computer and it won't let me recover my files from my iPad and save them on my new install.

    Honestly there is no real way unless these are items you have purchased from iTunes.  There is an option to Transfer Purchases from iPad but these are only going to be Apps, Music, Videos, etc. that you purchased and downloaded from the App Store/iTunes (you can also do the same by just opening up iTunes on your computer, going to iTunes Store, then going to Purchases, and downloading your purchases).
    If they are files that you haven't purchased through the App Store/iTunes then you won't be able to transfer those back to your computer.

  • I have mistakenly opened up a new iTunes account. Can I transfer purchases from one account to the other?

    I have recently bought a new iPad mini and tried to set it up and share with my old iTunes account.
    I thought I was changing email addresses for contact info, but was actually setting up a new iTunes account and paid for the £21 a year sharing service.
    I have a few (not many) tunes purchased on my old iTunes account.
    Is there a way of merging/closing my old account and transferring purchases across to the new iTunes account?
    I could swap between the two, but doing that on the phone/ipad will mean I cannot swap back for 90 days!!!!!
    Thanks

    Did you ever get around to transfer purchases from your old iPhone to iTunes in your computer.  If you did, your ringtone will be there and all you need to do is sync it back to your new iPhone.
    Ringtones can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store that is why the user guides recommend that you transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.
    If you never synced your old iPhone to iTunes, then you need to do that now so that you can get your ringtone on your new iPhone.

  • I cannot transfer purchases from my ipad to my pc

    for over a month now, i could not been able to transfer purchases from my ipad to itunes. when i try this manually, a very quick count of transferring is shown in the info panel in itunes (approx. 10 seconds). But nothing is actually transferred to my hdd. My problem is i have around 600 apps installed on my ipad.
    Please be sure about these before answering to my thread :
    - My pc is authorised for certain.
    - i' ve tried the "deauthorising-authorising again" action with no luck
    - i' ve only used one itunes account while purchasing the apps.
    - i' ve uninstalled and installed again for several times (all the apple products (itunes, quicktime, bonjour, mobile device support etc.)
    - i' ve an iphone 3gs, authorised with the same PC. and can transfer purchases without any problem.
    - for several times; when i connect my ipad to itunes, it urges me to restore to a previous backup. without any choice i do that. I find my notes etc turned to the previous back up version. But i also see the apps (which i cannnot transfer to itunes)remained undeleted.
    - i have never jailbreaked anything. I am a good App Store customer.
    - what i find while googling, i saw that i am not the only one facing this problem. Several users experienced this over 2 years. the only solution people find and recommend to me is to jailbreak and ssh into the ios system. they say this one :
    "It appears to be a permission issue (probably due to the upgrade from 1.x to 2.x).
    I changed permissions on a directory and removed a file and it seemed to work again.
    chmod g+w /var/mobile/Media/ApplicationArchives/
    rm /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.archive.plist"
    i don' t want to do this.
    - my biggest problem is i cannot upgrade to ios 4.3 because of this bug; because that, i cannot backup. Think of several apps that have files in it and customizations. think of long sized and timed games that are saved in the middle. i cannot start everything from the scratch.
    -i cannot purchase them again inside itunes. Because i don' t have the long list of those apps which refuses to transfer.
    -this makes ipad unreliable.i cannot trust it anymore while backups are not reliable.
    - i have enough space on my hdd
    - i am using win7 ultimate x64 and using the latest x64 itunes version.
    - of course i tried different usb ports, different original usb cables.
    - my hdd is in good state
    - nothing is wrong with the iphone backups. I can backup iphone 3gs with the same pc.
    - i' ve tried desyncing the music and trying with that, also done this with the movies, podcasts etc.
    - i' ve choosen the "sync newly installed apps" option. Also my apps are thicked (choosen for sync).
    - For hard reset, when i press the home + sleep button together for 10 seconds, it only shuts down. And shutting down is very fast (maybe 3 seconds).

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

    Hi please how can I transfer purchases from the app store on Mac to my iPad . I downloaded  keynotes , numbers, pages and others and will want to have them on my I pad thanks.

    Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.

  • Why does Transfer purchases FROM sync TV shows TO ipad?

    Why does iTunes automatically sync my TV shows BACK to my ipad after I choose "Transfer purchases FROM my ipad" under File-->Devices
    I don't want them on the ipad. I have unchecked all of the boxes next to the TV shows.

    Hi mmttpp,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues when transfering your purchases from your iPad to iTunes directly, you may want to try redownloading them directly to iTunes, as noted in the following articles:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
