Uploading purchased iTunes songs onto iPod

Hi there,
Can anyone help me, everytime I try to upload my purchased iTunes songs onto my iPod an error message comes up saying I am not authorised to play these tracks on my computer and the tracks do not upload.
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem - getting an error message telling me that my iPod - which I have updated with most recent iTunes software - cannot play the music I've purchased. What was your solution? What did you figure out? Would appreciate any help.

Trying to down load my purchased itunes song onto another computer

I logged into my itunes on my pc to download a song I purchased but it says my computer has to be authorized, how does that happend? What do I do?
Thanks

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Burning Purchased iTunes Songs...

Hi there,
As I have noticed on these boards, many people (as am I) are having trouble burning purchased iTunes songs onto CD's. For about three and a half hours, I tried just about everything to fix this- but no luck. Is there any downgrader to jump back to a previous, working edition? Thanks.

Having similar issues here, but iTunes (6.0.2) doesn't crash. When trying to burn an audio CD (purchased from Music Store) iTunes will act like it is initializing, start burning and then all of a sudden it will finish burning (after 1st song) and then eject the cd (after a minute of sitting there). Message about "attempt to burn disk failed...device failed to respond, unable to recover or retry". I can burn other playlists, just not purchased songs from iTunes.
Any thoughts?

My Ipod will not transfer all of its songs to purchased Itunes song transfer. My last pv crashed, I dont have access to it any more. I want my library back on Itunes. ANy help?

My Ipod will not transfer songs. my old PC crashed and could not recover anything from it. When I purchased my new Dell, when I loaded Itunes back on to it my content library will only transfer over purchased Itune songs. I have tons of songs I downloaded from the old "CD" onto my new Itunes account from my Ipod. Any help?

so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library? since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct? So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer." Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct? while having the others on there that wont transfer?

Trying to upload songs onto ipod

I've had my ipod for about 4 months now. i just got out to school about a month ago and today was the first time trying to upload some new songs onto it. when it connected to my computer, it would show the "do not disconnect screen" on it, then reset. i tried doing this 3 or 4 times, and it has yet to work. i was wondering how i could go about fixing this, or if it's just a problem with my ipod that i can't fix? thanks a lot.

I had/have the same problem. I say both - because I went ahead and had to restore the ipod tonight. Itunes nor my PC would recognize it. I downloaded the upgrades for itunes and the ipod installed them both. Went ahead and uploaded all the songs again and it worked fine. Then I disconnected the ipod, uploaded another cd to see if it would upload to the ipod and nope it wouldnt. Itunes would not recognize it. The only way I can disconnect it now is to shut off the PC because all I get is the "do not disconnect" warning. When the PC finally does recognize it - it tells me I need to update the lastest software for the ipod, but then it freezes and when it finally does actually do something - it only gives me the option to restore it. I dont want to do another restore and am at a total loss of what to do next. I have read thru the FAQ's and cant find anything that helps unless I am overlooking it. So any help would be great. Hope we get this problem worked out..Thanks

I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod? I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

Can I store iTunes songs onto the iPod by using it as a HDD?

Hello. I would like to know if I can store iTunes songs onto the iPod but not as a nMP3 player but as an external HDD. For example, suppose I load 1000 songs onto my iPod to listen to, could I take those same 1000 songs and store them as well? 80 GB is about 10 times the storage I'll ever need so instead of backing up all of my songs onto a DVD or external HDD, I wanted to store them on my iPod. I understand that I will be storing the same songs twice (one for listening and one for backup). Is it possible?

A similar issue but with video files. I have created several Gb of video files and backed them up on DVD. Now I want to only store them on the iPod Classic and be able to paly them on the iPod. My current method is to copy the video files onto the iPod (with disk use enabled) and set iTunes to NOT copy songs/video to the iTunes Music folder. Now when the iPod is connected I drag the video files to iTunes and it creates a link to them (located on the iPod whjich is behaving as an external hard disk) and lists them under TV Shows (or Movies). I can now sync them to the iPod and play them successfully.
Although this works I end up with two copies of each video file on the iPod. I am guessing that if I delete the original (data) video file iTunes will get upset and remove the second copy from the iPod as well when I next do a sync.

Itunes cannot sync certain songs onto ipod?

Problem solved; The files were placed in the wrong folder, and itunes couldn't access them. But thanks anyway!

Is there any limitations to purchasing iTunes songs?

I'm wondering if I should be concerned about anything as far as restrictions on how I can use songs I purchase from iTunes. I thought I heard somewhere that there were certain limitations putting your iTunes songs on different mediums. Or maybe that was the iPod that doesn't allow you to share music or something... It seems as though once I download and purchase an iTunes song onto my Macbook I can do whatever I want with it.
I've purchased many iTunes songs before, I'm only asking because I'm planning on buying a bunch of songs/albums and also I'm basically going to import most of my old CDs I have lying around and put them in iTunes (so I can sell the CDs). And I was wondering if it;s better than going with something like Rhapsody.

They are sold for personal use only and may not be used for public performance. You can get more detail from the Terms of Sale.

Feel free to compare.
For purchasing downloads, you will find that many of the tracks that cost $1.29 at the iTunes Store can be had for 99 cents at the amazon.com MP3 Download Store.
Rhapsody also offers a subscription option with unlimited listening for a monthly fee, which may be of interest.

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.
crichton007 wrote:
I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

Sync-ing itune songs to ipod

I recently re-installed my itunes software onto a new computer [Vostra 200 running XPpro. I am able to sync the ipod to the itunes library, but when I sync the ipod to itunes, I am only getting the items in the podcast section of my itunes library, but not the menu of songs that I have stored on the itunes main library.
They are there in the itunes library, but they aren't downloaded onto the ipod.
Is there a setting that I am missing?
Appreciate any help with this question.
Thanks, Barryg

This answered by Rod Hagen.... And it worked just right. Now I can access my music for any account and even add to ipods any of the 4 we have. Thanks a lot Rod

So, just how do I copy songs from one account on the same imac to another account?
Login as the "User" from whom they are to be copied. Then (assuming everything is in its "default" location) copy the iTunes Music folder (or a selection of the relevant music folders or individual songs from within it) from the User's "home" Music/iTunes folder to the HD/Users/Shared folder.
Now log in as the User who wants to add the files to their own account, open up iTunes, and use the "Add to Library" command. Navigate to the songs you want in the HD/Users/Shared/iTunes Music folder and click on "Choose" (or it might be "Open") .
(There are plenty of other options, of course - burning to disc , memory sticks, etc etc,)

Hi Virginie,
You need to go under the help menu option and sign out from Muse and then install it on the other computer that you want using the creative cloud desktop app.

HT1351 How do you manually sync songs onto iPod/iPhone with the recent iTunes? This article is invalid as there is no section on the left hand side of iTunes called 'Devices'.

Very frustraiting as I cannot currently put songs onto my iPod/iPhone after regrettably downloading the most recent iTunes, and my friends are having the same problem. I have an apple mac and it is clearly a fault of the new iTunes as it used to work before the new iTunes.

It's is Sooooooooo RETARTED!!! WHY CAN'T I MANUALLY ADD PLAYLISTS TO MY IPHONE??? AFTER I PURCHASE MUSIC IN ITUNES I THEN USUALLY CREATE A PLAYLIST (In Itunes 10.7) BECAUSE I FORGET THE ARTISTS!! AFTER I CREATE MY PLAYLIST I WOULD MANUALLY DRAG THAT PLAYLIST TO MY EXISTING IPHONE ICON AND VOILA! NOW I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!! I HAVE TO WRITE DOWN THE ARTSISTS NAMES AND ENTER THEM INTO THE SEARCH BAR AND ADD THE SONGS MANUALLY TO MY IPHONE ICON!!!! ITUNES 11 JUST PUTS ME IN A REALLY BAD MOOD! I'm soo mad and upset. First world problems yo...

Wi-Fi iTunes Store via iPod touch will not download songs onto iPod

First off, my wi-fi is working generally. I can, for instance, access the internet and the iTunes store via my iPod touch.
However, after "purchasing" music via the wi-fi iTunes store, the iPod briefly displays the animation that the music has been purchased and is sent to the downloading que, but then quickly disappears from that que with no songs downloading at all.
I am signed in properly, I have tried reseting the iPod touch completely, but to no avail.
Suggestions?

Figured it out.
After registering my iPod Touch through iTunes, I did not attempt to download any music directly through iTunes onto my computer. All attempts were through the wi-fi store on my iPod Touch. So, I downloaded The Reminder, by Feist, through my computer and it worked just fine. However, prior to downloading I was put through some legal jargon/user agreement blah blah, that I had to "agree" to to continue. Once I did that, the downloading began. Subsequently I went into the wi-fi iTunes on my iPod Touch, and successfully downloaded a song.
I can only assume that the issue was that I had to first agree to the user agreement document through iTunes on my PC before I could actually download music through the wi-fi/touch version.
Let me know if this helps out.
