TV programs purchased in iTunes Store on iPhone IOS7 won't all sync to Mac (OSX 10.8) via USB

We have bought some children TV programs from iTunes Store on my wife's iPhone 4 (IOS7) and when I tried to sync to her Mac (OSX 10.8) via iTunes (version 11.1.3) and USB, only the first part of the series would sync, the rest I woudl have to download again from iTunes Store.... I have already spent about 6 hours downloading the 5 movies to the iPhone on the 'nearly' broadband connection available where we live, which meant effectively no one else could do anything else that required internet connection for that period. I would not like to do this again for the same movies just to get them onto her Mac. Any ideas as to why only the first part of the series would sync and how I could sync/transfer the whole series via Itunes and USB, would be much appreciated.

Hi again mikejimreed,
I have a couple of new suggestions for you. First, you can always find your purchases in the past purchases list in your iPhone, which is explained in further detail here:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
You may also want to consider turning on your Automatic Downloads feature on your phone. Here is an article that explains a little more about this feature:
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
By using this feature, you should be able to forgo syncing with your computer so often if you are just wanting to update your purchased songs onto your iPhone. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that are not synced with my iTunes account on my computer. How can I sync my phone and iTunes on my computer without losing what is on my iPhone? (original computer was stolen)

I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer. The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
How can I sync and retain both iTunes?

Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

ITunes not working/iPhone iOS7 won't update

Alright so apparently all of Apple software has decidede to crap out on me that I'm starting to regret spending money on this phone. A software update came out, iOS 7.1 so I very stupidly decided to download. I say stupidly since it seems like that's what started everything.
Obviously, to download it you need to be over a Wi-Fi connection. My Wi-Fi connection is great; I use it for everything (Netflix, email,i tunes, you name it). Strangely it didn't work like every other time. It was just stuck on "estimating remaining time" and after 5 minutes I got a failed to download message.
Weird, I thought, so I decided to test if the Wi-Fi was working. It was. I was able to load up any app, except for two things. iTunes and the App Store. None of those two work on my phone over Wi-Fi, I just get a "cannot connect to store" message. Why? Who knows, because apparently Apple thinks you're suppose to figure it out yourself why it can't connect instead of giving a diagnostic.
Weird, I thought again, so I decided to just connect it to my windows laptop, download the update through iTunes and install it from there. Sure enough, when I connected my phone and I loaded up iTunes, it immediately let me know there was a new software available for download so I went on with it so I could it all over with.
Nope.
While being stuck on the "contacting iphone software update server" for a SEVERAL minutes, I noticed on the top the "accessing itunes store" message was also stuck. Eventually, iTunes gave me an error: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Make sure your connection is active and try again." Huh? I use my wi-fi every single day, it's never failed me. It's working RIGHT NOW. I can access the internet PERFECTLY. I can access any internet related apps on my phone through wi-fi as well. Heck, it's ALWAYS worked. I've bought, downloaded purchases and updates normally through this wi-fi connection ever since I bought the phone. Everything works, except itunes/app store on my phone and now as well as iTunes on my laptop. It's just stuck on the "accessing itunes store" message and I can't even log in. Every time I enter my ID and password, nothing happens, the box disappears and when I click sign in again, it asks me again for my ID/password. It never registers it's just stuck on a loop.
So now, I'm not too concerned about itunes/Appstore not working via wi-fi on my phone since they still work properly if I use my cellular data instead (but obviously I can't download the update since I NEED to be over wi-fi). What concerns me is iTunes being completely useless. I've tried just about everything I've read on several posts in this site, including the "netsh winsock reset" trick that apparently was very helpful to many people.
Anyway, if anyone can help me how to fix this, I'd appreciate it. And if someone can tell me exactly why this happened would awesome as well; I need to know if I did something wrong that screwed this up so I can make sure I don't do it again.

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

Any ideas?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Trying to use music purchased from iTunes store with a home movie

I am making a home movie for family use only in either iMovie or Final Cut Pro, but neither app will allow me to use music purchased from iTunes store. Why not? It's not a licensing issue b/c there is no distribution other than my family at a big birthday party. The music imports but acts as if it has no audio once the file is imported to either program. help!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)
ibook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Put the purchased songs into a playlist. Set iTunes burning options to burn AUDIO CDs. Burn the playlist to an audio CD (you can use a CD-RW if you don't want to waste a blank). After it is done, reimport the tracks off the CD. Now use the reimported versions in iMovie or FCP and they should work fine now.

HT4623 Why do I keeping "unable to purchase from iTunes Store now try later"

Why do I keeping "unable to purchase from iTunes Store now try later"

Hi Nanas12,
When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
- Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
- Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
- Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
- Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guidefor your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
- Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
- Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
- If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks,

Can't purchase from itunes using my iphone 3G, saying I need iOs 5

Hi,
I can't seem to make any purchases on itunes using my Iphone 3G as it is stating that I need iOs 5 however itunes will only let me update to software version 4.2.1. I have never had this problem before, I have itunes 10.5 installed, please help!

I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad. When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded. When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased". When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased.
I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store. This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases. I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access. As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary). But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
Help!

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

My iTunes Store on IPhone comes up with an error ([newNullResponse]). It is just on the music tab, tv shows and movies tab works fine. I have tried restarting phone, closing app, turning my account off and on. What is the problem I need help?!!!!

My iTunes Store on iPhone comes up with an error [newNullResponse] always when I click the music tab. The movies and tv shows tab works fine. I have tried everything from restarting my phone to turning my account off and on.

Try a different cable and a different charger. If neither fixes it you probably need a new battery. Apple will replace it for $80 in the US; I don't know what the charge is in other locations.
