Transfering Purchased Videos from PC iTunes to Mac iTunes

Hi there. I bought a bunch of videos on my PC iTunes and want to transfer them to my Mac iTunes. How do I do this? For music I just copy the *.m4p files to my Mac desktop and then under the Mac iTunes preferences I check the "copy music to my iTunes folder" option and drag the *.m4p files into iTunes. I tried doing the same with the video files and it will not work.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Keith

I had a PC before and what I did was open up my iTunes account on the Mac and authorize the Mac to download the music. Once you do that, you should be able to see all your downloaded music files. You might want to have your iPod hooked up to the Mac. My iPod was PC formatted, so you'll have to reformat your iPod for your Mac. If you don't do that, you won't be able to download new music to you iPod. I did not loose my music when I formatted my iPod.

  • Transfering purchased video from itunes to ipod classic

    I purchased a show from itunes and tried transfering it to my ipod classic, but it keeps saying it cannot be played on my ipod. I was able to transfer and watch other videos on my ipod just fine so I am not sure why it is saying this. I downloaded both the HD and SD versions of the video because it was stated on a different discussion that ipod classics might only take the SD format, but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

    All she has to do is connect the new iPod to her computer and sync her music to it.

  • Transferring purchased video from iPad to iMac

    I have purchased several movies and a couple of tv series. They are residing on my iPad and my partners iPad.
    The movies and most of the tv episodes have the 'cloud' symbol I assume indicating they are residing in iCloud. The couple of movies and tv episodes that actually reside on the iPad won't all transfer to the iMac. The error says something like 'not enough available space on the iPad'" almost like I a trying to transfer data TO the iPad not FROM it.
    I can't be more specific  with the error than that, I am in hospital currently and am hoping gain enough intel on this stuff before I get home.
    Thanks

    Best bet is to bookmark it and sync your book marks via iCloud.
    This article discusses setting up iCloud http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
    You will want to make sure Safari is turned on (doesn't show it on the article screen shot, but it will be there.)
    Or simply bookmark it on both devices.
    NOTE: you will have to have internet connectivity to view it regardless of device, obviously.

  • Transferring purchased music from iPhone to iTunes

    I purchased a song on my iPhone, but it doesn't want to transfer to my iTunes when I try to drag it. Transferring purchased songs from my iTunes to my iPhone is no problem, just not the other way around. Does anyone know how to do this? I have a 3G iPhone.

    Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If so, this is automatic, or should be. With Sync Music selected under the Music tab, after purchasing a song with your iPhone the song will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. The same applies with 3rd party apps if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Are you manually managing music and video with your iPhone with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, after music is downloaded with your iPhone it will not be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so since you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone, which provides no benefit with an iPhone whatsoever compared to doing the same with an iPod since an iPhone doesn't support disk mode.
    If you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone, music and video is not being transferred to your iPhone automatically - it is being done manually - hence the name of the option - "manually manage music and videos". If you choose to manually manage music and videos, then you've also chosen to manually transfer any music or video that was downloaded from the iTunes store with your iPhone from your iPhone to your iTunes library.

    my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  This does not happen with any other streaming video service.  I have restarted and rebooted already. 

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

  • How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to computer?

    How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to my computer? I don't want them taking up space on my computer. iPad backups and apps on the cloud are enough to ensure my apps are backed up, so I don't understand why they need to be on iTunes too. I'm running Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.5 and iOS 7.0.6.

    There isn't an app for that!
    As far as I can tell there is no option to give you that control. It is worth noting that apps can be withdrawn from the store at any time. Should your device need restoring you need all the apps in your library to transfer to it before the app data can be successfully restored. Pulling that all down from the cloud would be time consuming.
    If space is becoming an issue you should consider moving the library to a bigger drive (which you should also backup to another).
    As a temporary measure you could try deleting some larger apps using Finder from within iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications while keeping the entries in your library. iTunes may complain during syncs that it cannot copy apps to the device because they cannot be found, but it should not clear them from the device. Test first on a single app that doesn't have any data that you would mind losing in case the behavior has changed from the last time I tested it.

  • ITunes locks up while transfering purchased apps from iphone 4

    I have had various issues with upgrading to itunes 10.5. Now that most problems have been solved I am having trouble transferring purchased apps from iphone to library. The process starts but after a few apps itunes locks up. I have to go to task manager to exit. Task manager confirms itunes is not repsonding. Any help is aprreciated. I am also getting the blank page when opening itunes.

    An iPhone backup does not contain any iTunes content. After you restore from backup, you must sync or re-download your iTunes content, to restore it to your device.

  • Apple TV 2 will not play purchased videos from an authorized computer

    I have been trying all night to get purchased videos from an authorized computer play on my Apple TV 2. My computer is authorized and I have not reached my limit of authorized computers. I even went as far as to completly reset all the settings on my Apple TV; the music plays fine and it can list all my availible video content but as soon as I select a video of any kind it gives me the following error: Authorization is Required. You must authorize your computer with the account used to purchased the content. I am going crazy, I can access the same videos from my Home Sharing on my iPhone or from another computer using iTunes. I have tried deauthorizing the computer several times with no luck. Any suggestions?

    also could be your HDMI cable......
    from another thread.....so exactly what does your Apple TV say to you exactly, when it won't play the movies???
    "If this is for the new ATV2, then the cable you use to connect to your TV must be HDCP capable. Some are. Some aren't. I bought a cheap one that was not and it didn't work. I bought a slightly more expensive one that was HDCP compliant and all is fine now.
    From the ATV webpage:
    Compatible with high-definition TVs with HDMI and capable of 720p 60/50Hz (see note 2)
    Bottom of page.
    Note 2: Requires HDCP when playing protected content.

  • Can I use credit that I have with the App store to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes?

    I have credit with the App Store on my iPhone can I use that credit to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes and if so how>

    The credit that is on your account can be used to buy items from the app store, iTunes store, ibookstore and (if you have a Mac) the Mac App Store. As long as you are buying the music for yourself (you can't use an account's balance to gift content) then your account's balance should be used before your credit card is charged - just click on the price to buy it and it's price should be deducted from your balance.

  • I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
    Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.
