  • Why wont the music i purchased on my iphone show up on my pc?

    I have tried "transferring purchases" and many other things, but none have worked.

    They are not stored at icloud.com, your purchases can only be seen and re-downloaded via iTunes.

  • Songs I purchased on my iPhone not showing up in my itunes library, or purchase history. The iPhone was unauthorized, but connected to my iTunes account.

    So I got a new iPhone about a month or two ago (I no longer have this iphone) and I bought some albums from iTunes but now that I'm on my computer (which the iphone is not authorized on) I cant seem to find out how to download the albums I downloaded. The albums were bought on the iPhone through the iTunes app that was associated with my account. The songs show as purchased on the iTunes store, but theyre not in my purchased list.

    With your iPhone connected, iTunes open and the iPhone selected in the devices panel, go to File menu and click "Transfer purchases"

    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.

    It could be for any number of reasons. Since you do not identify the computer OS you use, here is information for both.

  • HT204266 Premium calendars (in-app purchases) on my iPhone not showing on iPad

    I have additional premium calendars that I've purchased on my iPhone and show on iPhone calendar that do not show on my iPad calendar.  I've restored purchases, rebooted, etc., but still do not see events on my iPad.
    Any thoughts on how to get the events on my phone to sync to my iPad?
    Thanks

    AFAIK...  In-App purchases require a Credit Card associated to your account.
    If you have this and are still having issues...

  • HT1848 Why is some of the music I purchased on my iPhone through iTunes not transferring to my iTunes account on my computer?

    There are some purchases I made on my iPhone out of the iTunes store that aren't getting recognized in iTunes on my computer. I've clicked the "Check for Available Downloads" as well as "Transfer Purchases from my device" and neither have resolved the issue. What am I missing? What do I need to do to get this music recognized in iTunes on my computer? My fear is that if I sync my iTunes to my iPhone, it will delete the music that isn't recognized and I'll have to repurchase which isn't cool. Please help.

    Is iTunes on your computer authorized for the Apple ID used to purchase the music?

  • Ios 5.1 issue - why have the music controls been disabled when iphone is docked?

    I just updated my iphone 4s yesterday, and immediately I have a huge problem.
    When I dock the phone in my car (using a Denison dock) OR connect it via bluetooth to my car stereo, all of the music controls are locked!
    The Music App becomes a white screen with "device connected" written on it, and there is no way for me to play/pause/skip/browse music on the handset.
    Even double-clicking the home button, the audio controls are greyed-out and don't function.
    I am furious about this, why break something that was working perfectly before?   It's not for safety reasons because the iphone is happy for any other app to be used while docked.  I use my iphone in the car all the time, and it is utterly USELESS if I can't use the Music app normally.
    I have tested with docks at home, and this issue seems to occur only when the connected device can also control the iphone.  I need to stress that no car controls can allow easy use of the Music app - it means you have to take the device off the dock to make any changes in what you're listening to.
    PLEASE can this go back to the way it was!?

    Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
    1)Connect phone
    2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
    3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
    4)Uncheck "sync music"
    5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right  At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
    pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
    6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
    iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
    7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
    bottom righ.
    8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

  • ITunes says the music i purchased is downloaded, won't show up on my computer anywhere, won't let me redownload?

    I just restore my ipod touch following the version 5 update...and now all the music and half of the apps are gone.  I restored the backup, redownloaded music...but the music is nowhere on my computer, and now the download button in the store won't let me try again because it said I download it already. What can I do to get to these downloads since the button to download is grayed out?

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.
    Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

  • My macbookpro died and I have been using my boyfriends macbook (the itunes is an earlier incarnation of my itunes) and have been using his pro to charge, all the music has disappeared from my iphone but shows up when i plug it in to charge on his macbook,

    My macpro got wet and I have been using my boyfriends macpro to charge my iphone over the weekend, his itunes is an early version of my itunes library. I have no music showing in my ipod on my iphone. When I plug it in to the macpro it shows my music, and an up to date show of all my playlists new music etc when I click on my iphone icon, how do I get it back? Can I back up and sync from his library? Can I just back up my phone on his library and restore from that, will I get an exact copy, new stuff and all back??
    Any help appreciated

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • Songs I purchased on my iPhone not showing up in the cloud for download to my computer.

    I purchased songs on my iPhone yesterday, and last night on my Notebook computer I was able to download the songs from the cloud with no problems.  But today, on my Desktop computer, the songs do not even show that they are available in the cloud.  All 3 devices (iPhone, Notebook, and desktop) are authorized to the same account in the cloud and have the latest updates for itunes.  Under my account information, the songs show in my purchase history, they just are not in the cloud.
    Other songs I purchase last night on the notebook computer showed in the cloud and I was able to download them to both the iPhone and the Desktop.  But the songs purchased on the iPhone were not available to the Desktop.
    Is there a limit to the number of devices a song can be downloaded to if purchased on the iPhone?  or is there a problem with these songs that Apple needs to fix for me? 

    Sounds like you're using iTunes Match. Is there a cloud icon next to the name of the song?  If yes you need not worry, those songs aren't actually on your device it just means you can download them to it.

  • Why do my music files from my storage device not show up on imac 10.4.11 also photos

    when i plug in my seagate storage device it has my entire itunes music library which is 15.6 gbs. this music folder along with another music folder and a folder with photos shows up as an empty folder. i know i has music and photos in it because i loaded it into a mac laptop with lion oxs and it showed up. my imac is an old imac with tiger 10.4.11 . any answers. also i have 768 mb of memory can i get another explorer downloaded other than the one it came with which is 5.1.

    THANK YOU ! I had posted this question on another topic forum and got zero replies. You have solved my problem. My setting for playlists was 'music only' and I simply changed it to ALL.
    THANK YOU ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
    Now I can go to sleep with theTV sleep timer on and two episodes of Lost in Space or Star Trek or The Mary Tyler Moore show playing as I doze off

  • Why do the playlists i made on my iphone not appear in itunes ?

    When i make playlists on my iphone they work fine on my phone, but when i plug my phone into itunes, under my iphone tab it only shows the playlists i made on my computer and not the ones i made on my phone. This isn't really the big issue, though; what concerns me is the fact that whenever i add new music to my phone itunes deletes all the playlists that i made on my phone. Some people have said to just make a new playlist in itunes that exactly matches the one i made on my phone, i know in theory that would work, however i currently have 61 playlists, many of which have almost 1000 songs arranged in a specific order. It takes me hours to copy over a single playlist and i simply cannot do that 61 times every time i add music to my phone. Also i manually manage my music and i can't change to automatic becuase my itunes library doesn't match my iphone library, so that isn't an option. The part i don't understand is that this has never been a problem until recently, possibly after an itunes update. Some people have said playlists made on your phone are like "on-the-go" playlists and itunes doesn't sync them. But i distinctly remember back when i used my 3rd gen. nano i could make on the go playlists on my ipod but i couldn't name them, so i would plug it into itunes and they would show up there and i could name them. It was the same thing with my ipod touch except i could name them without having to use itunes, but they would still show up in itunes. I remember it being the same way when i first got my iphone (4s), i'm not sure what changed, but i can't keep re-doing my playlists every time i want to add music. Isn't there a way to export a playlist then import it?

    I have the same exact problem. let me know if you figured anything out

  • Why do movies I have purchased on my iPad not appear on my laptop?

    I have purchased a number of films with my iPad but they do not appear on my iTunes account on my computer. Is this an issue with icloud?

    Click on your Apple ID account name in the upper right area of the iTunes toolbar and select Purchases. Then click on Movies. They should appear in the Purchased list and you can download them to your computer by clicking on the 'download from the cloud' icon.
