    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.

  • Transfer Purchase from iPhone 5s to iTunes reducing free space?

    Sometime I Transfer Purchases from my iPhone 5s 32GB running iOS 7.0.4 using iTunes 11.1.4 for Mac and recently notice it reduced free space on the iPhone, even before doing any sync from iTunes.. several weeks ago just before Transfer Purchases there was 7GB of free space on the iPhone, after Transfer Purchases there's only 5.3GB left, I restart the phone and there's 5.9GB left
    Today there's 5.7GB free space, after Transfer Purchase there's only 4.3GB left, after restart the phone 4.7GB left
    Wondering what Transfer Purchase actually doing with the phone that increase the storage usage up to more than 1GB permanently..? and how do I reclaim those free space?

  • Itunes closes when trying to transfer purchases from ipod or iphone

    Using a PC with Vista.  Installed iOS 5 this morning.  Cannot update either ipod touch 3g or iphone 3g with software update until "prior purchases are transferred to itune" - unfortunately every time I try to "transfer the prior purchases" Itunes closes completely.  I've been working on this for hours now.  Anyone got any ideas how to get around this?
    Thanks.

    Your Post is a bit confusing

    If you are using iTunes, you cant transfer purchases in the iPod to the Mac, you need 3rd Party Software.
    Have a nice day!

  • 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.

  • Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, if you mean you want to transfer a purchase from one iTunes Store account to another, you cannot.

  • 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

  • Transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another

    Can I transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another? I bought some apps using my dad's account and now I have my own so can I transfer them to mine?

    No.
    You can try contacting itunes support to see if they can do this, not sure.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • Can I transfer purchases from my old apple ID to my new one?

    Hi all,
    I used to live in the US and now moved back to Europe. Therefore I have 2 Apple ID's. One synced to the American iTunes store and one to the German one. Now, I am forced to use the German ID and store since I am in Germany.
    All I want to do, is to be able to access and download everything I have purchased on the American Apple ID (which is a lot after living in the states for 5 years) and merge it with the stuff I purchased on the German ID or just download it to my computer. My computer recently crashed and I lost all my data so I would like to re-download my old purchases.
    An additional problem is also that even though I kept my American bank account I changed the billing address to my current one in Germany. Therefore itunes won't let me purchase anything with my American apple ID because the billing address isn't American anymore.
    If anyone knows how I can get my old purchases back, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    It is not possible to transfer purchases from one Apple ID or regional store to another. However you should still be able to download your past purchases simply by logging into the appropriate store and clicking "purchased" under the Quick Links section on the right-hand side of the store. Be sure and authorize the computer for both accounts.
    Keep in mind that any apps purchased with each Apple ID can only be updated from that store; you will not be able to switch back and forth between the stores, either. There is a 90 days waiting period between logins. So factor that into your downloading.
    I also strongly suggest you purchase a d external HDD and start using time machine to back up your personal data. If you had been backing up you would not need to re-download anything. I recommend an external HDD that is at least 3 times the size of the MBP's HDD.

  • 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:

  • A family member gave our kids their old iphone with music already loaded for them.  How do we add the music to our library? It won't transfer purchases from the phone and if I sync it, the music is erased.  Can someone walk me through this?

    No one here will help you violate iTunes terms of service or steal music.
