Will "Transferring Purchases" from my friends ipod wipe the other tunes?
I copied a load of tunes, purchased and copied from CD, etc to an I-pod nano and gave it to my friend as a present. I have since "lost" a lot of the tunes :0( when trying to transfer stuff to an external hard drive, nightmare..!! anyways, I am having no sucess re-copying the music back to my PC. The only option seems to be "Transfer Purchases" but I'm worried incase it wipes the rest of the songs from the i-pod. If anyone can help get my songs back I'd be most grateful. Music is Life...!!
There is authorization and "authorization"
I did a similar move. I replaced my Itunes server with a new build. I successfully saved off the old Itunes folder to my Network Attached Storage box and later copied that archive from the NAS into My Music on the new Itunes server.
The Itunes folder contained different types of data.
For CDs I loaded DIRECTLY into Itunes, the data includes authorization to play the data - because Itunes verified that it was an origional CD that was played directly into Itunes.
In a similar manner, if you have Itunes data that was purchased and downloaded from the Itunes Store, then you need to "Authorize" the computer with Itunes in order to play that Itunes Store procured data. This is the "you have done 3 of 5" authorization.
Finally, for CDs that I loaded into my old server via Windows Media Player, when I did a consolidate in Itunes, it went out and found the WMP data on a disk I dedicated to WMP music files, and since it was authorized in WMP, Itunes would play it. When I went to the new server, Itunes had the Itunes version of the songs in its library, but would NOT play the songs that had been migrated into Itunes from WMP until I actually connected the hard drive with the WMP files on it so Itunes could satisfy itself that it has "autorized" copies of the music. As soon as I connected the Windows Media Player data drive, Itunes did a compare and updated the Itunes versions of the songs imported from WMP to authrized and plays them just fine.
The alternative is to reload from the origional media.
Hope this helps.

HT1848 Where are the transferred purchases from an iDevice stored on the PC?
So I clicked 'Transfer Purchases' in iTunes (for my iPad) and the transfer has begun. However, where exactly is all this data going to get transferred? And will it include all the app data too? And can I transfer it back to my iPad in the future in case I restore the iPad? Please help!
"Transfer purchases" copies purchased media and apps that aren't already in your library, into the library. The content will go the normal locations, e.g. apps to <Media Folder>\Mobile Applications etc. App data gets included in the device backup. Other media not purchased from the iTunes store should already be in your library, if not see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.See if this helps:

Wanted to transferr purchases from a different ipod to my itunes libary however, when I clicked transferr purchases it deleted all my music and replaced it with the purchase I had transferred this has never happend before... please help
Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

Syncing and transferring Purchases from iTouch 4G Freezes iTunes
I recently purchased an app at the iTunes App Store (101 GamesUtilities)and when I connected my iTouch to my PC, the sync began. iTunes indicated that "Transferring Purchases from iTouch4 Step 3 of 4 Copying GameUtilities". Usually it takes a short time to complete this process so I clicked in a vacate area of iTunes and discovered that iTunes stopped responding and was frozen. I had to use control-alt-delete to close the iTunes app and disconnected the iTouch from the computer. I repeated the process of connecting my device to the PC and the iTunes repeatedly froze.
I then rebooted my computer, downloaded iTunes 10.1 and intended to install but got 2 options for action which was repair or uninstall. So I chose repair. This did not resolve the problem. I did not get any error message during this process when it finally froze. Can someone help? I also went to GameUtilities website to report the problem in event that the situation directly connected to that software.If you use the search function on the right and search the iPod Touch forum for:
itunes AND freeze
you will see previous discussions on your problem. However, I looked at some of them and se no solution.
I would try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstall it vice just installing it over the existing one. -
How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?
Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?
