Wont transfer authorized purchases to new computer

So, my wife got a new computer and I'm trying to transfer all her purchased iTunes stuff on the new computer. The computer is authorized, and when prompted, I selected to transfer purchases. I had 77 purchases, and after 11 it stopped. I tried again, and this time it said I had 66 purchases, but wouldn't transfer anything. Any ideas why or what I can do to fix it before I go to the genius bar? Thanks in advance!

Go to file-devices-transfer purchases.  Also go file-devices-back up, and it'll save all your settings then you can restore from back up and start to sync to your new computer.

  • Transfer IPOD purchases to new computer from IPOD nano

    I am wanting to download my songs from my IPOD nano to my new computer and it wont let me transfer my purchases to the new computer. I have authorize my new computer and it still won't let me. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I am not computer savvy so any direction would need to be very specific!!!

    No.  If you try to sync your iPod with a new iTunes library, it'll erase all content from the iPod and replace it with the content that is in the new iTunes library. 
    So if you need to move data from your iPod back to your new PC first, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different methods and software available to assist you with this task.

  • How to transfer old purchases to new computer?

    We had a computer with a lot of downloaded movies, albums, singles, etc. and that computer is no longer working so we got a new one and I was wondering if anyone knows a way to get my purchase history onto my new computer without rebuying anything.

    Restore it from a backup, put the old computer's hard drive into an enclosure and copy the files off, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes if they're on an iPod or similar Apple device, or click here and ask.

  • I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

    I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

    So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct?  However, they will not sync with the device?  Are these video or audio podcasts?
    How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts?  You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes.  To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right.  Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
    If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.

  • I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.  Help!

    I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. 
    I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic.  What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod?  I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested.  It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content. 
    Help!

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my iTunes library. Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer? It was the only computer authorized to play library.

    My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my saved iTunes library from it. That was the only computer authorized to play library. I do not have an iPod or iPhone with any of that library (which has over $2K in music purchases & over 5K in songs I ripped). Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer?

    You should be able to access your past iTunes purchases. You'll need to re-rip your CDs See: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • I purchased a new computer, how do i transfer all of my itunes content from the old computer to the new one with out loosing songs, apps, pics ...ect

    i purchased a new computer, how do i transfer all of my itunes content from the old computer to the new one with out loosing songs, apps, pics ...ect

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
    As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
    Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything.

  • HT2693 I have purchased a new computer- I have tried to transfer my library but itunes says my serial # is invalid

    I have purchased a new computer and am trying to move my library to it. I got rid of my old computer. I have tried to input my new c.p.u. serial # but i-tunes rejects it as an "invalid" s.n. I checked with the manufacturer and they verified my serial number as valid. Also, i would like to talk to somebody on the phone who represents i-tunes.  Is that possible or am I just out of luck?

  • Transfer ITunes Library to New Computer

    My old computer has crashed and I can no longer access anything on it including ITunes. I am purchasing a new computer...how can I have all of my songs moved to my new computer so I can access all of my music which I've already purchased.

    The policy on music/media purchases is that you only get one download and it's up to you to maintain a backup against loss: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    The licensing of Purchased applications allows for them be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    If you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Failing this, you could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page, from there click on Music Purchases then the Lost or Missing Items option, from there click on "Email Us": Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
