Hi BluJunco,
Happy Holidays!  The resource below may help you get your iPad purchases on your MacBook.
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1848
If you purchased items from the iTunes Store and you've stored them on only your iOS device or iPod, you can transfer them to any computer that is authorized with your Apple ID.
The easiest way to add past iTunes Store purchases to your iOS device is to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud.
You can also transfer your purchases from your device to your computer.
Transfer your purchases to your computer
Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple IDaccount you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
​​This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
Cheers!

  • Itunes unable to transfer all purchases from ipad

    So whenever i try to transfer purchases from ipad onto itunes there comes an error saying some of the purchases couldn't be transferred because this computer isn't authorized to.
    I then authorize and it says i've already authorized. But try transferring again, the error message still shows up.
    All the purchases in the ipad haven't been done from the same apple ID.
    So is it that the purchases from a different apple id than the one logged onto in itunes cannot be transferred or something?
    I hope i'm clear enough!
    Kindly help!

    I have tried the method of authorizing my computer and then initiating transfer purchases method yet my purchases were not transfered. I was told Apple can put your purchases in a certain place for you to retrieve them in your I-tunes account.
    Is there any way you can help me with this problem?

  • How do I transfer  music purchases from ipad to ipod touch

    whats the best way to transfer songs i bought from my ipad to my itouch? I'm having a hard time trying to figure this out!

    Hey mr Zman,
    I understand that you want to get your purchased songs from your iPad to your iPod Touch. There are two ways you can do this, either using iCloud or using iTunes. The following document covers both scenarios with detailed steps:

    Since you are running Windows 2000, you most likely have a pretty old version of Windows Media Player.  Easiest thing for you to do would be to puchase a USB Card Reader that supports Micro SD cards, and simply drag and drop your music to the /AUDIO folder on the card.  Put the card back into your phone and you're done!

  • Can I transfer music from my iPod touch that was originally burned from CD's or does it only transfer music purchased from Itunes?  My computer crashed and I lost all of my music?

    My computer crashed and I lost all of my music.  I have music still on my Ipod touch but a lot of it was originally burned from CD's onto my computer.  Is there any way to transfer this music back to a new computer or will I need to re-burn each individual CD again to get this onto the new computer?

  • How do i transfer music library from ipad to laptop?

    how do i transfer the data contained on my ipad over to my new laptop?

    You're going to run into problems syncing with the new computer unless you copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one.  This article explains various methods for doing this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  The folder contains criticle iTunes library files that define the syncing relationship between your iPad and your iTunes library.
    If you attempt to sync with a new, empty iTunes library, iTunes will remove all iTunes media (apps, music, etc.) from your iPad, and replace it with the media in the new library (if any).  If you copy your entire iTunes folder to your new computer, then authorize the new computer for your Apple IDs (in iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer), you will be able to sync just as you did before, and all of your music, apps and other iTunes media will be on your new computer.

    I have over 300 songs purchased on my old ipod nano using a previous and no longer valid e-mail address, i cannot remember the old password or anything related to it. Now, I would like to transfer those purchases to my new PC and Iphone and I am not getting nowhere trying doing so because itunes is requesting pasword for the old apple id e-mail which I cannot remember.

    Apps and other media from iTunes can only be used with the account they were bought with.

  • Transfer Song(s) from iPad to MacBook Pro

    So my group has to make a music video and what he need is to put the song on iMovie. I'm not really sure how to transfer the song from my iPad to the Mac. 99% of the time the Macs at my school will not notice my iPad, iPhone, or iPod. So when iMovie doesnt detect my iPad what can I do? This is due 5th hour so i really need some help.

    you can try to upload it to dropbox - (get a free account), then bring it down onto the mac.  I tink you need to get it into the music space on the mac, then move it to I movie.

  • How can I transfer music back from iPod to MacBook and iMac after a MacBook

    My MacBook Pro (2 years old) recently suffered a harddrive failure. I had all my music on this computer and of course on my iPod 80GB. Now I have a new drive in the MacBook with no music and all the music on the iPod. How can I transfer the music back from the iPod to the MacBook? I also have an iMac and would like to doubly back up my music on this unit (in case - or rather "when" there is another drive failure). Connecting the iPod doesn't work as it just asks me to erase and resync. There HAS to be some way around this, I couldn't possibly be the only person in the world with a drive failure!

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How can i transfer my apps from ipad to macbook

    Sorry i´m a new user of macbook. I try to transfer my apps from my ipad to
    my new macbook pro.
    I try it with the tutorial and i tranfer my apps from itunes and autorize my new macbook
    but i can see in my folder the apps but it doesnt work making double click.
    Thank you

    emijogar, you can backup your iPad apps on your MacBook Pro (using iTunes), but you can't actually run those apps on your laptop.
    Mac desktops and laptops run OSX, but iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches run iOS. These are two different operating systems. That's why they have different App Stores (the Mac App Store for OSX, and the iTunes App Store for iOS).
    You can't run OSX apps on mobile devices, and you can't run mobile apps on a laptop or desktop.
    It's sorta like trying to put a bicycle tyre on a car. It just doesn't fit.
    However, many OSX apps have iOS versions, and vice versa. Just check the App Stores to see what's available.

  • How do I transfer music purchases from one apple id to another

    I purchased music from Itunes years ago with an old apple id and old email address.  I am trying to play that music in my Itunes on my Dell Win7 laptop that uses a new apple id, and though the computer is authorized, it is authorized under the new apple id.  When I try to play the music, a box with the old apple id comes up, asking for a password.  I click 'Forgot' and am taken to a new screen that asks for my date of birth.  I enter it, and I get a big red message that this does not match there records.
    I know the old apple id, but not the password, and the email address that was used for that apple id is no longer a valid email address for me.  The FAQ indicate that I should be able to authorize the music for multiple apple id's, but it does not say 'how'.
    I tried changing the apple id and password to the new one when I tried to play the music, and nothing happened.  I can play the music that I added to itunes from cd's but not the purchased music.
    I don't think this matters, but just in case it does:  I have a new iphone 6 that is authorized for my new apple id, but my issue right now is authorizing music on my laptop.  I'll tackle syncing the iphone with itunes on my laptop next.

    You can’t. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • How to transfer music purchased from old iphone to new iphone

    Insert image

    Music from sources other than the iTunes store should already be on your computer in the iTunes library. They had to come from there to begin with to get on your phone in the first place.
    Media is not part of the backup. Re-sync the media from your computer to your new phone.
