Transferring already purchased music?

I have been using my iPad on my mum's Apple ID for about a year, in this time I have downloaded plenty songs, and plenty apps. I recently purchased my first ever MacBook Pro, and also started up my own Apple ID. Now I'm wondering if I will be able to transfer the music and apps purchased on my iPad that were purchased on the old Apple ID, to my computer which is running on the new ID? Or will the songs be lost because they do not belong to the same ID? Thank you. :)

Tim is right, but be sure you understand that you can use a different Apple ID for iMessage and such whcile still using the same iTunes account. If you change the iTunes account, you will lose all the apps. See here for more details on how to use multiple devices with a single iTunes account/computer.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Do I have to "enable" icloud on PC to get already purchased music on ipad?

    Does anyone know if I can just login to itunes from my ipad from the same itunes/apple id that I used on my pc....and download already purchased music from my account? OR do I have to install the icloud control panel on my PC first to "enable" icloud..... THEN I get the already purchased music on my ipad?

    No, the iCloud control panel does not need to be installed on your PC to redownload purchased music, apps etc. You will need at least iOS 4.3.3 or later on your device to redownload your purchases directly to your iPad.

  • HT201272 why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

  • Why can't I download already purchased music onto my ipad mini

    I can't download already purchased music. I've tried connecting to my Macbook but it doesn't recognise my ipad mini.

    Try deleting the waiting app then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Transferring non-purchased music from Ipod to ITunes Library

    Can I transfer my music from my Ipod into my ITunes Library I just created on my new laptop? I've been successful at transferring the Purchased Music, but not the music I've downloaded from my CD's into my the ITunes library on my old computer.

    Hi .. we do this all the time..if its downloaded music put your music into a folder.. then use the drop down "file" menu and import the folder...its really easy..but you also have to create a path for your music..this is done via "edit" drop down /preferences/advanced.. and tell it where your music folder is... other wise your music wont play... if you are using your own cd,s its even easier just put cd in.. tick selected songs.. and import cd

  • Issues Retrieving Already Purchased Music

    Today I had purchased two albums off iTunes through my phone. Everything downloaded and I got my music. When I got home, I went to transfer my purchased music from my phone to my computer. That didn't go as planned because not all of the songs transfered and now both my phone and computer are missing 2 songs from the first album and 12-13 songs from the second album. I tried going back to my purchased area to redownload the music from cloud, but all of the music I had already downloaded only showed up. The missing songs did not show up. It would be nice to have all my music and not just bits and pieces. Would appreciate any help.

    If the tracks don't appear in your Purchased area of the iTunes Store at all, go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to transfer already purchased music from bearshare to itunes

    My dad wants to buy an iPod, but has already purchased a lot of music from Bearshare. Is there a way for him to transfer that music to iTunes? Or will he have to re-purchase that same music from iTunes?
    Thanks!

    I would have to say that is not completely true. I have had music already riped to Microsoft Media and instead of doing it over again and saving to iTunes, I just copied the file through iTunes and saved. You have to click yes on save in different format but it does work. I will have to agree that the sound quality is lacking. I think possibly from the format change alone. Sometimes iTunes can't seem to get their built-in equalizer working properly. Hope it helps.

  • Downloading already purchased music in Sweden

    I recently made a clean start with a new installation and upgrade to Lion, iCloud and all those new faboulistic apps. Sadly, i was naive enough to think that i would be able to download all my already purchased software, music, ringtones and such without any hassle from iTunes Store after i've installed the new OS but... Nah! The only things that appears under "purchased" in the store are apps and books but no music or ringtones.
    Hence, my question is if it's really supposed to be like that???
    I googled this and understood that there might be some license issues and that those have to be renegotiated before you can access your music through iCloud. The US, GB, Holland, New Zeeland and many other countries already have that possibility as far as i understand.
    Can anyone fill me in!?
    /God save atheism!

    Note: Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Australia, Canada, Cypress, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Previously purchased TV shows are only available through iTunes in the Cloud in the United States.
    That information is available from here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    This is why Apple suggests users to backup their iTunes media > How to back up your media in iTunes

  • Help! I already purchased music, but I clicked download and it purchased them again.

    Ok so theres music that I already purchased on my itunes, and I went to my purchases and hit the download button because the albums all had the icloud symbol on them and it never allows me to play the music on my phone or laptop. Anyway, I hit download and it like bought them all again! So I'm trying to figure out who I can contact to get my money back. Thanks! <3

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a refund. If they got charged to a credit card, you can also contact the card’s issuer and dispute the charge.
