Transferring purchases from iPhone 4S keeps locking up

bought a new iMac, trying to backup my iPhone 4S, but transferring purchases for the first time and it keeps locking up after a few get transferred.  I've tried a few different times, even after a reboot, but it continues to get stuck on like the 2nd or 3rd transfer

A reset may help.
Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart.

  • Transferring purchases from iPhone 3GS ?

    iTunes 10.4 says my iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.3.3) has purchased items to transfer before I upgrade to 4.3.5.  I click on File->Transfer Purchases, iTunes says "Transferring Purchases".  I wait until it finishes and click 'Upgrade" again, but it still reports purchases need to be transferred;  I ejected the phone and plugged it back in, but it still reports purchases need to be transferred.  Any thoughts ?  Any way to find out what purchases we're talking about ? Thanks.

    Ignore it.  If you're updating, nothing will be deleted from the phone.  Assuming this is the computer you usually sync with, just do a full sync before updating.

  • HT4527 "transferring purchases" from iPhone 5 to new MacBook Pro

    A week ago I busted the screen on my former Toshiba PC laptop.  I freaked out as it's only 4 months until our wedding day and all our wedding stuff was on that computer, including all our ceremony music.  I purchased my new MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display and received it yesterday.  I followed all the instructions to transfer purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new mac computer but only 9 songs transferred.  The original iTunes was on my Toshiba since 2009 when I had my original iPhone 3GS and after getting the new iPhone 5, all my songs carried over onto that phone.  Now I can't seem to get those songs onto my laptop.  There are over 1,000 songs but I'm most concerned with the ceremony playlists.  Does anyone know why only 9 songs transferred over? What can i do to get the music off my iPhone and onto my MacBook Pro without having to purchase all those songs again??  I authorized this new computer & I signed in using my Apple ID that I had previously on my former laptop....
    HELP!!!
    Thanks!

    A busted screen does not do anything to the hard drive.
    Pull it out and put it into an external hard drive case.
    Then copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on the old conmputer HD to /Music/ on your new computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    That is all you will need to do.

  • Transfering purchases from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S.

    I was looking for a little help on this issue.  I have just ordered the iPhone 4S and want to move my purchases from my old iPhone 4 to it.  To make a long story short I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and HAD a macbook pro which I just sold.  Once I plugged my iPhone into the macbook it was paired with it.  Both computers are authorized on the same account and now when I plug the iPhone in to my Mac I cannot move anything off or on the mac from the phone. It says that I need to format the phone first!  The phone shows up in in iTunes and the "transfer purchases" button does nothing.  I don't need to do a full backup just want the purchased apps and music.  Any help would be great thank you.

    G3gator, I hate to repeat myself, but...
    The first rule of the forums is not to raise old threads unless there some super-critical piece of information that will save the free world as we know it today.
    Second, always post a new thread in reference to this.
    Third, google for answers.

  • How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?

    Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?

    iTunes/Preferences/Devices - Select "Prevent iPods, iPhone, iPads from syncing automatically."

  • My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

    My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
    When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

    See if this helps:
    iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop - Support - Apple

  • Itunes 9.2 Not transferring purchases from iPad to Laptop

    I've never had a problem transferring applications from Iphone -> iPhone 3G -> iPhone 3GS -> iPad. But today, when I was attempting to transfer my applications to the iPhone 4, they did not appear.
    2 Hours of troubleshooting (and a few calls to apple), I've discovered the following:
    1) The applications are not being synced onto the laptop. This can be detected in two (2) ways - first, there is an exclamation mark beside the app, missing artwork (seen through the iTunes Library / Apps Screen) - Second, Get Info displays an error message, "The applications could not be used, because the original file could not be found", finally, the "Mobile Applications" directory on my laptop doesn't have the file. It really isn't being transferred onto my laptop.
    I've tried the following diagnostic steps
    1) Power Cycle Everything.
    2) Right Click on the Device, and click on "Transfer Purchases" (though Apple swears this should be automatic)
    I am able to download the applications onto my iPhone 4, and I'm not charged for them - but, getting them onto the iPhone 4 that way will probably take me the next four - five hours of determining which ones are missing, and downloading them one at a time.
    Anybody else run into this problem and come up with an innovative solution?

    If you're having an iPhone 4 problem, this isn't the right discussion group...

  • Transferring music from iphone to pc

    Purchased/Downloaded music from itunes to iphone - how can I sync / upload music to PC to back up?

    PaulCB
    Saw your post about transferring music from iPhone. I guess I am a total dweeb; I cannot understand Apple's instructions.
    I have two identical PCs. Have same version of iTunes on each. iPhone 3GS with 4.01 OS. I cannot figure out how to transfer the 5400 songs on my iPhone into my iTunes library without erasing the 2500 songs (different titles which came from a Dead Dell) that are already there. Any advice would be super appreciated.

  • Transfer purchases from iPhone before upgrade to 3.1.3

    Hi all -
    I hadn't synced my iPhone in a while (gasp) and when I did, I didn't have time to do a full software update. When I just went to finally do the 3.1.3 upgrade, I ran into some trouble.
    I first did a full backup and sync. I then went to hit "Upgrade" and it gave me the ""There are purchased items on the iPhone that have not been transferred to your iTunes library..." message. I did both the File > Transfer Purchases from iPhone and also the right click on my iPhone under Devices and chose Transfer Purchases. So, now I should be clear, right? Wrong.
    Still getting the error message.
    All of the purchased music in my iTunes library shows up as transferred in my Music in iTunes. So, could it be an App or something else? And, shouldn't that have transferred when I used that option (as noted above)?
    Any help? I want to get the upgrade done and move on. Thx!

    I'm having the same issue and have had this issue for a while with both my 3GS and my wife's 3GS. I verified that all songs purchased on my wife's phone were showing up in iTunes and then ignored the message stating I still had purchases that had not been transferred and updated to iOS4 anyway.

  • 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
    This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

  • Unable to transfer all purchases from Iphone to PC

    I have a problem with transfering all purchases from iphone to pc.
    My iphone has full disk and I want to erase some songs. But I can not erase it on iphone, so I tried to transfer all apps in phone to PC, but there is one app navigation "Speed & Traffic Traps Europe" (or something similar) that can not be transfered. Size is 1,9 GB and it is always trying to transfer, but after some time 30-45 minutes it just stopped without any error or something and app is not transfered.
    I was thinking about deleting it and downloading it again, but I can't find it in appstore. So I don't know what to do. How to transfer purchase to PC without losing it.
    Can you people help me please?
    Thank you.

  • Transfering songs from iPhone to computer

    I have never done this before
    But I can't find a answer
    On my laptop on iTunes I have 1,200+ songs
    That I had on my phone
    But a while ago I deleted them off my phone
    I want to hook my phone back up to my laptop
    But I am worried about getting all the songs again
    And losing the few songs I brought on my phone
    Is there a way I can sync my phones music to iTunes and delete iTunes songs?

    Hi cdthoas,
    Music purchased on your iPhone can be brought into your computer simply by downloading it again from the iTunes store. See this article -
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you prefer to transfer it directly from the iPhone to the computer, use the method described in this article -

  • After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

    After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

    The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
    Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.
    Regards.

  • Transfering videos from Iphone 4 to laptop, the video is rotateed 90 degrees

    After transferring videos from Iphone to laptop, Why would the video be rotated 90 degrees?

    IIRC, the iPhone is configured that "normal orientation" for video recording is horizontal with the home button on the right.  If you are holding it in a different orientation, then that would be encoded in the EXIF data on the recirded video file.  Now if that file is edited and that EXIF data is removed or altered, then you could see what you are seeing.  It is also possible that the player yo uare playing the videos back in does not properly support the EXIF data embedded in the videos, which would have the same results.  When I record video on my iPhone 5, the playback on my Mac works properly.
