Why won't a purchased game on iPod Touch get synced over to iTune library?

Just purchased as a direct download to the iPod Touch the X-Plane 9 game for $9.99. I was under the assumption that the next time the Touch is synced to my main computer via iTunes that the app would be copied over as a safety backup? Is this not the case? Or might I be doing something wrong? And if it did get copied over to my iTunes library on my main computer, where might I find it?
Thanks, John

Dear John,
I have a couple questions for you.
Do you still have the game on your iPod? I would assume that it is also not listed in iTunes. If this is the case, go to the app store on your computer and re-download that app. You will not be charged for the download if you already purchased it. If you still have questions - call 1800MYAPPLE.

  • Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

  • Why won't album artwork show on ipod touch 4g?

    My itunes vers 10 is showing all of my cover art.  I have gone thru each track and made sure the artwork is attached to each track however only a fraction of the artwork shows on my ipod touch after syncing.  I have tried to reboot ipod to no avail.  Per other message board posts I have looked for a box to check which reads "Display album artwork on ipod" but I see no such button under Preferences nor on the Music tab when ipod is connected.  Pls advise.  Thx!

    I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
    1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
    2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
    3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
    4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
    5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
    6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
    You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

  • Will 1st gen ipod touch still work with new itunes library on new computer (transfer didn't work from old computer)

    Ok, so I have a new computer and wanted to transfer my itunes library from my old computer. I could not get the files to transfer. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and see that I can download my previously purchased music to the new computer. I have mp3's that I can add in on my own so I don't have a problem starting over in itunes.
    My question is what happens when I plug in my 1st gen ipod touch and try to sync??? Will it erase what is on my ipod or will I be able to move the stuff from my ipod into my new itunes library?? Any info would be great...I'm happy with how my ipod is set up so I really don't want to mess with a good thing. Also, will I need to update and of my software on my ipod since it's 1st generation??
    Thanks for the help!!

    You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    To avoid that see:

    Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.

  • Why won't iTuess 11 recognize my iPod touch when connected?

    iPod touch version 4.2.1. I just updated from osx 10.5 to 10.6.8 and updated the itunes to 11, not when I connect the iPod to the Mac (and it shows as connected), it will not appear as a device on the ssidebar in iTunes - hence I cannot sync.
    please and thank you

    Then your "fix" might have caused the problem. Make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar and take it for a diagnosis.

  • Why won't my camera on my iPod touch 5 turn around, Why won't my camera on my iPod touch 5 turn around

    I recently tried to use the camera on my iPod touch 5g, but it wouldn't turn around to the face cam. It seemed to be working fine last night and no one has messed with it. I tried restarting it both ways, by turning it off normal, and ,by holding the home and lock button down. Niether of these techniques seemed to work. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem without going to an apple store?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • The items I have purchased in the itunes store are not showing up in my libray. A few are on my actual ipod touch, but not in the itunes library. Is there an easy fix to this or is it maybe something in the settings that I'm missing?

    It's just not making sense to me that it's a purchased item from the itunes store and it isn't appearing in their program.

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

  • How can I get my non purchased song content from ipod touch 4 back to my itunes library. My library

    How can I get my non purchased song content back into my itunes library from my ipod touch 4. My itunes had disappeared so I had to get another itunes & start again. I still have the original song content in the ipod.

    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Song and tv show purchased on ipod touch wont sync to mac itunes

    The ipod touch generated a -50 and -3203 error in itunes during the sync process and now all purchases wouldn't play without a restore and items purchased and downloaded directly to the ipod touch are gone after a restore. The ipod touch can't be mounted as a disk so if the first time after a purchase or multiple purchases (like in my case) are made on the ipod and you get a sync error your purchases are gone for good with no way to make a backup! (Note; Apple iTunes doesn't allow a second downloads--Policy!) This will definitely be the last time I purchase any items from the itunes store directly on an ipod or my apple TV, and I will make it a policy of my own to make a backup copy after any future purchases. I had been hesitant for years to buy any songs from the itunes store now my fear has been realized I have bought a song I no longer have access to. Ironically it is Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" --That is just too good! I am gonna go buy the cd at walmart this weekend instead of an itunes card.

    If you contact Apple and ask nicely (i.e. don't rant at them) explain the problem, you will find that they will most likely let you download the items again.
    In my experience they have allowed people to download when there have been issues (like me for example, never been refused yet).
    Use the form below :
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html?form=download&topic=Downloading %20iTunes%20Store%20Purchases&subtopic=Download%20errors
    Or log in to your account in iTunes, view your Purchase History and use the Report a Problem link.

  • Purchases made on ipod touch not syncing to mac library

    I recently purchased 2 albums from the itunes store from my 2nd gen ipod touch. When I attached my ipod to my imac to sync them to my itunes library, they do not show up...they do show up in my ipod touch though. Other purchases in the past have added to my library with no problem..what"s up with my new ones?

    Is the computer authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with?
    Is the device backing up to iTunes on the computer or iCloud?  If backing up to iCloud purchases do not automatically transfer, the user must manually select Transfer Purchases.

  • Locked (4th Gen) iPod Touch - Never Sync'd to iTunes

    I sent my brother an 4th generation iPod Touch abroad.  I locked it so no one else could open it when it got to customs, and I forgot the passcode.  He's not very technologically inclined, so I had set EVERYTHING (email, address book, apps, etc.) up for him.  Anyway, when I set up the iPod thru iCloud, I never sync'd it to iTunes.  I did everything through my wifi network.  Now we have exhausted all our attempts to the passcode, and the iPod is premanently locked and asking to be connected to iTunes. And my brother doesn't own a computer.  Is there ANY way we can still reset the passcode or do something so that he can access it?

    The iPod will have to be restored via iTunes.  You will have to place the iPod in recovery mode to to allow a restore since there is no syncing vcomputer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    You can redownload apps by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you set up the iPod to backup to iCloud then after you restore you can restore from that backup.  The backup will conain your mail, contacts and other settings.  If you have no backup thant it will be like a new iPOd.
