Updating music on 2nd computer from Purchased music

I want to listen to my purchased music on my second computer. I went to the "advanced tab" and clicked on check for purchased music, but I only get 7 of my 100 or more songs that I purchased on my other computer - I am using the same login on both computers.
Thanks!

Hello, Stacy, and welcome to the Discussions.
You cannot download tracks from the iTunes Music Store more than once, so if you want them on a second computer, you have to copy the tracks from the computer on which they were initially downloaded. The "Check for Purchased Music" option only works to download tracks which have not yet been downloaded. See these articles:
iTunes 4: How to copy music between authorized computers
And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
You can also use the iTunes Sharing feature if your computers will be on the same network; this will allow you to listen to the tracks on another computer without having to copy them. See "Sharing" in the iTunes Help for more information.
Hope this helps.

Upgrading 2nd computer from Contribute 3 to CS4-problems?

I have CS4 on 1 computer and want to install it on a 2nd computer. I bought the download version for computer 1 in March 2009.
I was able to download the required files onto computer 2 but then when I tried to install it, I wasn't able to install it because I did not have the serial number for the previous installation of Contribute 3. So I tried to use the trial version of CS4, but this gave me a message saying that the trial version would delete any working drafts.
Is this true, or can I safely install and use the trial version of CS4 on computer 2 until I am able to get the serial number for the original installation of Contribute 3?
Thanks. I would much appreciate **any** suggestions about upgrading a 2nd computer from Contribute 3 to CS4.

From doing a web search with those disc specifications it would seem those are grey colored discs intended to only work on another model computer, probably an e-mac. Unfortunately people sell these old discs that came with a computer but don't realize that unless somebody has an identical model computer they are no good to most peple and should really be kept with the original computer.
What you need to find are black colored retail version discs that are intended to be used for upgrading any Mac that can run Tiger. These aren't easy to find and although I would think people would be really be getting rid of old discs now that Tiger is 4 generations old, it doesn't seem to work that way.

Stopping 2nd computer from auto updating

I basically understand manual update vs. auto update and have already read how to set up a new account to prevent auto update, etc. Things are good: I'm set at auto update, and if I plug the iPod into a 'foreign' computer it does give a warning instead of auto updating. That's exactly what is wanted.
But here's my problem. I have two computers and I do want it to update from the one, and issue the warning from the other. But somehow neither of the primary accounts on my computer and my wife's computer is recognized as 'foreign' though they are different computers, different user names, etc. Plug the iPod into mine and it updates, losing all my wife's files and vice versa. I'd like just one computer and one account to "own" this iPod, but two do. How can I remove the permission from one of them? Thanks.

I'm not sure if this will help as it refers to iTunes 4 but you can have a look at it: Both of your computers think they "own" your iPod
However, there is a keyboard command you can use to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go.

ITunes not updating library on 2nd computer

I originally opened my iTunes account on a home computer, it contains about 500 songs or so. The computer is pretty old and it was taking a long time to download songs so I took my computer in and had them transfer my iTunes onto my laptop. I logged onto my laptop and my iTunes library does not show any songs in there. How do I get iTunes to download all of my purchases?

When you say "had them transfer my iTunes" I assume they transferred all your files to the new machine, so the songs files are probably there somewhere. Use Windows to look for them on the laptop (starting in Music or My Music). When you know where they are, you just need to add them to the iTunes library, for which you can use the command File > Add Folder to Library.

HT1338 Number, Keynote and Pages app updates fail. Says try from Purchases. Same result - fails to download, Why??

Got update notice for Pages, Numbers and Keynote on my macbook. When I try to install updates ... "failed" message appears.
Have tried several times.
Why?

I have just purchased Keynote 6.2 from the app store and the download keeps failing. I have an iMac running Mav's 10.9.2 Any advice with what could be down to get to my purchase would be great. Thanks very much.

V1.0.1 - Update download after 2nd launch from shortcut

I've noticed that JWS v1.0.1 now downloads updates to application jars immediately when the app is launched from a web browser, but when the app is launched from a shortcut (on Win2k), updates are not downloaded until the app is stopped and launched a second time via the shortcut.
Why this difference in behavior? Is this behavior configurable? Ideally, I'd like to be able to use JWS with the following gaurentee:
When I post a new jar to my web server, any client with network connectivity will be updated immediately the first time they run the application.
Unfortunately, with the current behavior of JWS shortcuts, the client will be able to load the app using "old" jars while he still has network access. This forces me make sure any server side features used by the app can handle both the current client code set, and the "old" client code set, only to prevent the app from dieing badly when the client launches from a shortcut the first time after server jars are updated. I'd like to avoid such extra, non-productive work if possible.
Thanks,
Dan

I seem to be having this problem aswell .... anyone else?

Update Apple TV 2nd Gen from 4.3 to 5.0?

Hi,
For some reason when I click on update software. It just say "update cannot be performed at moment, try again later" When I try to restore it says the same thing and when I plug it into iTunes and click on "restore" it gets stuck at 1st step "Contacting the Apple TV software update server" and does nothing!
What if anything am I doing wrong?
Tech specs
Apple TV 2nd Generation Model: A1378
iTunes 10.6
Mac os 10.7.3
Thanks in advance

Hi, gthank you for the quick reply, this seems really helpful, but I can't get the following to work, this is probably because I'm doing it wrong? Please note I am no apple genius!
1. How do I confirm the ATV is in DFU mode? I've followed the procedure. "hold down and menu" 6 seconds and "Menu and Play/Pause" for 6 seconds, This seems to reboot the device each time and doesn't appear to make any noticable changes.
2. How do I change my DNS Settings on my router? Is this something to do with network settings or on my actual router settings page? I've looked through the router setup and there doesn't seem to be any way to change the DNS setting to 8.8.8.8. In System Preferences\ Network\ Advanced\ DNS, I can add a DNS Server, Is that where it needs inputing?
3. How do I change the DNS setting on the actual ATV?
4. How do you change the Store location to US? Is this just simply a matter of changing the store setting at the bottom of the iTunes Store page?
Really appreciate any help, many thanks

Sync a 2nd computer from main computer's time capsule backup

I have a mac mini and a mac book. Time capsule backups the mac mini. The mac book was synced from the mac mini when I bought it. Now the two computers are no longer synced. I would like to re-sync/restore the mac book home directory from the time capsule backup of the 'same' home directory on the mac mini. I don't want to backup both computers. I would like to sync the macbook every now and then from the backups of the mac mini. Is that possible using time machine? Both computers are on the same network and can see the same time capsule in principle. But I don't see how to configure time machine to use the backups of the mac mini -- the source I would like to be primary. Any ideas?

Your suggestion is what I want to do. I don't think I expressed myself clearly in the original question. Thanks very much. So I tried...
When I select TM on the target mac with the "option/alt" key held down, TM complains that "the storage location for TM backups cannot be found" -- it offers the choice of canceling or setting up time machine backups. I think I don't want to setup backups on the target mac, so I then opened up disk utility app to see how to mount the TC onto the 'target' mac. So far I haven't figured out how to do that. DU only sees the local disks on the target mac, not the TC on its local network. Let me read some more on DU options if I can find the right docs. I may need some advice on how to mount the TC onto the target mac if I cannot find the info I need. Thanks again.

No update of sales order from purchase order

Hi,
When I am trying to change the delivery date of a purchase order line item, I get the error
"No update of sales order xxxxx from purchase order (error V1 348)" How can I resolve this?
Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi,
Check whether this PO is created w.r.t. PR and PR is created automatically during Sales order creation.
If it is so then need no to change the delivery date in PO, it will always get updated as per the Schedule Line date of sales order.
You can go for GR w.r.t. PO directly.

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

HOW DO I TRANSFER MUSIC FROM MY IPOD TO A 2ND COMPUTER THAT HAS LOST MOST OF THE MUSIC IN ITUNES WITHOUT LOOSING THE MUSIC WHICH IS NOW ON MY IPOD

MY OLD COMPUTER HAS THE CORRECT MUSIC INSTALLED IN ITUNES.
I HAVE NOW INSTALLED THE CORRECT MUSIC ON MY IPOD-NANO
I HAVE A 2ND COMPUTER WITH AN INCORRECT MUSIC LIST IN ITUNES.
I NEED TO COPY THE CORRECT MUSIC TO COMPUTER 2 FROM MY IPOD WITHOUT LOOSING WHAT IS ON THE IPOD.
THANK YOU

Typing in all caps indicates shouting is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from one computer to the other.

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900 songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+ songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

HT4539 I want to download all the music I purchased through my iphone and computer from the first date i had iphone to date, and keep it in both my computer and iphone.

Need help, I want to download all the music I purchased through my iphone and computer from the first date i had iphone to date, and keep it in both my computer and iphone.

You cannot synch the other way, with the exception of songs purchased on iTunes.
What you need to do is move the iTunes library from the computer to which you've been synching your phone and put it on your new MacBook.

10.5 iTunes IOS5= iT won't add Purchased, music videos, more duplicates from 8200 to over 12945, i think 80% more than i had before, freeze, purchased items from iTunes should be downloaded again from purchased page in the Store, so reinstalling All my Ap

Hi,
After installing iOS5 on iTunes and iPhone, everything went almost smoothly, except activation, which i finally fixed it.
The issues i am now experiencing are for the most after iOS5 and iTunes 10.5
No direct connection to Wifi Spot at HOME, ( i don't have a Carrier contract) I have to be really 2 metres near the router to connect, but not with iPad which i didn't update to OS5 yet, My Library problem is everyday i have to upload all my music from my computer, from nearly 2000 songs to really 12945 now!!! most of them duplicates, duplicates!!! Enormous , songs, music videos, and movies, all duplicated !!!
I bought a software for fixing this problem, but unfortunately not working at all.I stop this way and buy no more softwares.
I don't really see most of my Apps in iTunes Store=purchased, even though i have to download them everyday, i mean right now 93 are being on download platform, and tomorrow morning, i am not sure to have the 90 Apps on my Library, that in total should be near 600 or more than that.So my kid will ask for one game to play, and i will really have a hard time to find it(iPhone freezes when looking for App Store+update+ Purchased then ALL or Not in the iPhone, it freezes excessively, and when you got one app and push download then you go to iPhone 3, 4 or 5 th page, then rolling back to App Store etc,,,,
Something is wrong, but i don't know it comes from.
Back in 2002/3 first i bought the second generation of iPod, i never saw a duplicate song or file, but now it is different.It becomes sort of a challenge to open your iTunes on your Laptop, and you figure out that your Library is Empty, you have to look for Folders, and no Purchased icon under iTunes Store, No Music Videos either!!!
Somebody has to sort this out Hopefully
Best Regards
[email protected]

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
What brand of PC do you have? Sony VIAO is notoriuous for having some software which corrupts the iTunes library.
If you are routinely generating more and more duplicates in your library then you are adding media in the wrong way. Simply scanning the entire media folder over & over again is a likely cause of problems, particularly if this is a different folder from the one currently set as the iTunes Media folder. Use a tool like iTunes Folder Watch which can scan your media folders, add new files and remove missing ones.
