Transfer purchases from itunes to iphone

Hi
I recently installed the ltest update and as it wouldnt work on my computer i had to use my friends. The install went fine, however i lost my apps and music. It is all backed up on my computer. I have had no issues transferring my apps back onto iphone, but the music just wont transfer.. I could only transfer about 6 songs and none of these were ones purchased through itunes. Most of my music is itunes bought and i do not wantto transfer my entire library only the purchased songs. I have been to the music tab and selected different play lists, tried to create a new playlist and nothing is transferring over. I have checked the file path and everything is pointing to the right place all ofthe file are there and i can play the songs..
When i go to sync music i chose the select playlists, artists, albums and then i choose the playlists and the boxes that say purchased.
I click the sync button and i get this error msg: Some of the items in the Itunes library were not copied because they could not be found.. it has this by 100 instances on songs that i know are there..
Please help its really frustrating

If you're in the US, you can download the purchased album to your phone or home computer right now, as that feature of iCloud is live for US users. If not in the US, you're gonna have to copy the album to a thumb drive & then transfer it to your home computer, then sync it to your phone. You won't be able to sync it to your phone from your work computer unless you want ALL the iTunes content presently on your phone erased. By design, an iPhone will sync with ONE computer at a time.

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!

Can't transfer music from iTunes to iPhone

Ok, so I transferred this CD to iTunes and I'm trying to drag and drop it onto my iPhone but I get a symbol showing that I can't do that. I then tried to check the box under iPhone that says "Manually manage music and videos" but then get a notification saying an iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time and to manually manage the music and videos I have to erase all content on my iPhone and sync with this iTunes library. The problem is, my original iTunes library has been lost due to a hard drive crash. Furthermore, when I try to transfer purchases from my iPhone to the new library around 200 of the songs show up with incorrect information (they show the track number and song title with no album or artist info. For example, a song titled Memory Lane that is the first song on the album shows up as 01 Memory Lane with no artist and no album.) Any ideas on what I should do?

iphone will sync with one computer. When you sync to another, it will erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer, this is true of manually managing music as well.
Since you are trying to drag and drop, do yo have manually manage music checked?

Why can't I transfer files from Itunes to Iphone

I just updated my itunes to 10.6 and my iphone 4s to ios 5.1.1.
My problem is that none of the files I want to tranfer from Itunes to Iphones doesn't transfer.
I tried to transfer music,apps,photos but none of them was tranfered.
Can anyone please help me??

You can try to repair your library. Once you are sure the files are all taken care of, you can sync the phone to remove all of the music and then sync again to add it back. That should take care of the issue.

I am no longer able to transfer songs from iTunes to iPhone 4

I have been unable to transfer music from iTunes to my iPhone 4 ever since I downloaded iOS 7.0.4. I have restarted everything, checked settings, clicked on all song and then none at all. I have backed up and synced at least 10 times. I have no idea how to fix this problem.

It would go through the motions of syncing and show steps 1-5, then it would end. When I would check my phone the songs weren't there.
I ended up going back to my Summary tab, scrolling down to Options and choosing "Sync only checked songs and videos". I clicked on Sync one more time and my songs showed up. I guess that was the problem.

Can't transfer files from iTunes to iPhone without erasing song library

I purchased some music from itunes on my computer at work(which is authorized on my account). I connected my iPhone to transfer (sync) the music to my iphone, but iTunes warns me that all music on my iphone will be erased. The music on my iPhone is currently sync'd with my home computer. My question is: How do I transfer music to my iPhone from two different authorized computers without erasing the content on the phone?

You can't sync music from two computers to the one iPhone.
You need to copy the files onto something like a USB stick and take them home and add them to your iTunes library at home.

How do i transfer music from itunes to iphone

how do i transfer music from my itunes account to my iphone? I was able to sync purchases from my phone to itunes, but can't move my music to my phone.

This series of posts was very helpful to me in fixing a problem I had encountered (apart from the various rude comments made by those who seem to have no patience with users who do not have their skill level...). The problem that I had is as follows -- at least I think this was the problem.
For some time I had been managing my music on my iPhone manually. That is, I simply dragged and dropped the music I wanted to my iPhone from my laptop using iTunes. Then, suddenly (it seemed to me) all of the music I had put on my iPhone seemed to disappear except one album that I had recently bought. I kept putting music on the iPhone, and it would work fine, and then it would disappear again. I looked through manuals and settings and couldn't seem to figure this out. Now what I've determined is that iTunes must have changed something in a more recent version that deletes music that is not "synced" with each new sync of the phone. (dragging and dropping had worked on my iPhone and iPod for some years previously... but i think with an upgrade of the iTunes software things changed.)
So, following the suggestions in this discussion, I went to iTunes with my phone plugged in. Clicked on the device (i.e., my phone). From the Music tab (at the top), clicked on Sync Music. (Previously I had not followed through on this step, because there was a warning message that said all the content on my phone would be erased -- technically false, because it would only erase music on the phone, not everything.) But when I did click on the Sync Music, accepted the warning, and then clicked on "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres," there then appeared a very nice set of checklists that allows for on-going management of music on the iPhone. (I didn't know about this checklist because it didn't appear... I had thought that "checking" was something that was to be done from the main music menus...)
Anyway, the system of checking playlists, albums, etc. is quite nice for managing music on the phone, because my phone will not hold all of the music that I own, so I can update the phone by syncing so that it holds only that portion of the library that I want to use at the moment. (Sometimes I'm listening to the Blues on a daily basis, sometimes to Beethoven...) So, even though this discussion didn't tell me all of this, it did give me the lead that I needed to get there.
So, as a comment to our rude fellow commentators here: I've been working with Macs and Apple equipment for over 20 years. I don't go back to re-read all of the manuals every time I upgrade software. And when Apple doesn't tell you that they've changed something in their software that invalidates a procedure that you've been using for years, it can look very strange. Then, when you do go to the manuals to search for the problem, rarely do you find (at lease rarely do I find) any explanation that a new procedure is in fact a new procedure that invalidates an old and trusted procedure. This is a problem that I run into periodically, and it makes me feel stupid, and it may make my questions posted to forums seem stupid to others. Other users are new to Apple, its software, its devices, and may have other reasons for asking simple questions. If the question is so simple to you that you don't want to waste your time with it... well... then don't. But don't insult other people who need help. Leave it to those who can take the time to be courteous and helpful. In this case, even though I'm a long-time user, it was responses to really basic questions that led me to the fix for a problem that had been annoying me for weeks.
So, thanks to those of you with simple, basic questions, and thanks also to those of you who helped.

Transfer app from itunes to iphone

Recently installed Windows 7 as a clean install replacing Vista. Then reinstalled itunes. Then transferred my apps from my iphone to itunes.
Then purchased a large app which i downloaded to itunes. The problem is I can't transfer it to my phone.
I've re authorised the computer but that doesn't help.
When I go to the sync apps tab I get a message asking me if I'm sure I want to proceed as all of the existing apps and their data will be deleted.
What do I do?

This article details how to backup your itunes media:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382
Once backed up, iTunes can use your backup to automatically restore your iTunes library.
This article will tell you how to recreate your library:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Make sure you have at least one entry in whatever supported applications you use for calendars & contacts. You do not want to sync to an empty address book, as this will delete the contacts from your phone. To prevent this & generate a merge or replace prompt, make sure you have at least one entry in each calendar & contact application.
Also, before you do sync, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences(in the edit menu).
Connect your phone, Do Not Sync, at this point.
Store>Authorize this Computer.
File>Transfer Purchases.
Right click the phone in the device pane & select reset warnings.
Right click again & select backup.
Right click again & select restore from backup. Select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you'll select from the various tabs as before.
You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
Since you'll be restoring your itunes library from a backup, your phone should look exactly like it did before you started.

I cannot transfer songs from itunes to iphone

when i try to transfer songs from my itunes to iphone 4 they are greyed out and do not play.. and cannot see it in iphone

Go into itunes on the iPhone, select the purchased menu, then select "not on this iPhone". If you then re-download anything that shows up and re-sync to itunes it should be all fixed. This worked for me anyway.

Trying to download past purchases from itunes to iphone. Not working so how do I delete these off my iphone to resync on a computer?

Hi,
I recently tried to download all of my past purchases in itunes to my iphone through the phone itself. I didn't have a computer available to simply sync the music. Some of the songs downloaded with no problem but the rest didn't and an error message comes up saying 'Unable to download songs' and when I click 'retry' nothing happens. These songs cannot be played on my phone and have a stop symbol beside the track title. My internet connection is fine so I don't understand what the problem is.
However, I do now have a computer with itunes that I could sync to my phone but every time I try to sync the songs they look the same on my iphone. I.e. the tracks still have the stop symbol beside them and I keep getting the download error messages. Does anyone know how to delete/cancel these downloads so that I can remove all the music from the iphone and simply sync it to itunes?
Any help would be very appreciated!

Go to Settings > Music and make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then only actually downloaded music will be displayed. With it on, you can see all your music stored in the Cloud as well. That music will always be in the Cloud (until such time as you download it) but it isn't present on your device.
