may not transfer purchased songs to phone

I bought a few songs via my iphone years (via itunes) and I can't find the files on my PC (windows 10). I've already tried

"File > devices > transfer purchases"[device name]"- twice - and it did not work." they appear in itunes (office) or my music folders. I checked to make sure that these were in fact on my phone and not only in the cloud. they are.

I'm afraid sync my phone now. I don't want to lose all the songs. they were purchased legitimately, I should get to have the files.

(update: also, I went to the itunes store (office) and found the missing songs under "bought"., but there is no icon of clouds, little "Download" beside them. seriously, these files are still on my phone, I can play them. apple knows that I have purchased. they do not seem to give me a way to re-download them.)

I never use itunes to buy a song once again. Ugh.

OK, I finally solved it.  Because the song was still in my library (with the little exclamation "missing" next to it), itunes wouldn't let me to re - download. so I deleted it. Then I could go to "purchased" in the itunes store and finally re - download the song. Ugh, it's so boring, but I'm happy that I found the solution!

(PS: I've also learned that if the song is no longer available on the itunes store, you can not download. that does not apply to me, but it might shed some light for others.)

    1 album in particular where I have 2 songs from it there but when I view the iTunes store only 1 of them watch it has purchased does not work even if the two songs are in my library.

    I checked hidden purchases and it isn't here. Any ideas what is happening?

    Thank you

  • address book transferred to the new office, but may not transfer to treo

    Just got a new computer with Vista 32 bit and installed Palm desktop 6.2.2. I transferred my address book via the usb port on my old computer and it appeared in the new palm desktop, but it will not move on the Treo 755 p with HotSync. However, I noticed that on the new version of office, the address book is called 'contacts' and it appears on the new office so that the address book imported. But I want that all my data to consolidate and I can't do that. Any suggestions?

    I'm sorry, but how do I export the data as a. CSV file? I put on a USB stick and transfer this way?

  • Restored iPhone 6 sauvegardΘ iCloud, ok except iTunes.Full library if poster not only purchase music. Some songs will play-"product is not available.

    I use an iPhone 6, 64G.  Running iOS 9.3.1 (I3E238); It comes with the music on the iPhone app.  My phone was stolen and I restored the replacement using iCloud.  Everything works, and all the information has been restored except music.  I tried enabling iCloud music library in the settings, and I get this message:

    iCloud music library can be activated - you can turn it on later Music of parameters (this is what I did). So far, your music is not available on other devices.

    During this time, all my music is available on my iPad, what is on the device which is in the cloud.

    In addition, the music that shows on my iPhone is purchased one and the same music then no, not all.  When I try to play any song, I get the following message:

    "Product is not available" - this song cannot be read.

    I'm not sure what more I need to do.  Should I sync with iTunes on my computer?  I think that was part of restoring from iCloud.

    Thank you!

    You use the same Apple that you had before you lose your phone ID? Is so iCloud music must synchronize but all your music which comes from your computer (such as the ripped CD) would not part of the backup to iCloud. You'd have to resynchronize only the music using iTunes.

  • Why Apple may not send a request to have a camera out of their account, if it was purchased or given legaly but have no way to do it themselves

    MY father had bought an IPad of Gen 4 someone online, but the person had mentioned that they did not have the password there apple ID. My father who have never owned an apple product didn't know the problem and may not be able to implement the IPad to a new user because it was never erased before you receive the device. So my question is Apple support! Why not Apple on request, be able to send an email or message to a phone number connected to a device that is in question. To have the device one account if it has been bought or given away legaly or was not stolen. Or if they do not want the device that they are linked more?  In my case of dads because he has no idea who the original owner is and cannot contact this person must be another way by Apple to fix a problem that I suspect many people have which can be easily solved. also it can let others know if it got stolen, and what they can do to repair or compensate the owners for a device that does not can be used once more. It seems that Apple could help a lot of people!

    This topic has been discussed in depth on several discussions in this forum. You stated the problem clearly in your message. He bought an iPad "someone online" who "said" they didn't have the password to their Apple ID. How to know you as a person who sells your father the iPad wasn't lying not knowing the password? What happens if they didn't know the password because it wasn't their iPad, but rather an iPad that they stole from someone and then are turning a quick buck? What evidence do you have that the iPad is 'legitimate '. Locking Activation, means.

    Any legitimate owner of the Apple device will not tell you that they "don't remember" their password. Reset your password Apple ID is not hard to do. And anyone who sells an Apple device is likely to know about locking Activation, even if they sell the unsuspecting person to do not.

    Sorry, but your father was a victim of fraud. If the seller was legitimate, they picked up the iPad and refunded the money of your father.

    Your situation, depending on how you have described, is exactly the kind of thing that the lock of Activation has been put in place. Sorry if your father has been taken for a ride, but it seems that you should choose a BONE with the person your purchased the device from - not Apple or the blocking of the Activation technology.

    Good luck

  • After changing my position, the Apps that I download directly to my iPhone does not appear in iTunes, even after "transfer purchases".

    I used my iPhone 5 for the past year, and recently moved to the United Arab Emirates, UNITED, of the India. After that I changed all my settings in iTunes to my new location, whenever I have to download any application on the App Store for the iPhone and later when I sync it, these applications do not appear in the library even after the option "transfer purchases".
    Any help would be appreciated, I mean that I can deal with it now. But when I buy a new phone and need to transfer the data, I assume that these applications will not be supported if I would lose all of its data.

    Thanks in advance.

    With iOS apps 9 is most exemplary support of a device, probably due to a new developer feature called "thinning app" (which means that only that which is required by an application on a particular device are downloaded to this device). You will need to re-download the apps (those of the UNITED Arab Emirates store) directly on iTunes from your computer

    There is NO selection update software on my phone! How are Iphone 3 # IOS updated?

    It may not be this difficult OR the answer is "It cannot be upgraded" - which is?

    The model number you have listed is an iPhone 4, which can be upgraded to iOS 7.1.2. To have the option to update software on the phone, you need at least iOS 5, otherwise you will need to use iTunes on your computer sync to perform the upgrade.

  • "Transfer purchases" does not work

    Impossible to use the function "transfer purchases" using the iTunes program independently to know if I try to do it by using the 'Sync' option when you're connected to my PC or the ' transfer of files/devices/purchase"option."

    This problem exists on my laptop AND my desktop computer.

    All other functions work correctly. All purchases appear in the "cloud."

    If the option is there in iTunes, what's wrong?

    Running IOS 9.2 on a 6 and 9.2 IOS on iPad iPhone mini 2 also running iTunes 13.2 on a machine Win - 10.

    This product ALSO running Win 7.

    Pls advise if someone has a solution!

    Thank you

    Ron

    A feature introduced with iOS 9 called thinning or slicing app app allows each device to download just the code and resources required by this device, resulting in smaller downloads and a better use of the storage on the device. Therefore the device is no longer the universal version of the application that can be installed on any device to transfer applications is no longer supported. I hope that Apple will bring some changes to how it works, but in the meantime, you can download past purchases from iTunes or activate the automatic shopping app downloads to ensure that iTunes has always the apps you want on your device. As long as you make sure that all of the apps are present and updates in iTunes before you attempt a restore there should be no loss of data. I cannot confirm, but it seems a way to recent update all data are restored and apps that are not in the library are waiting to download from the iTunes Store over Wi - Fi, in a similar way to the restoration of the iCloud way works.

    Hello, manoj0910.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    Looks like you can't synchronize the pictures located on your external drive.  I need a little more information about your configuration to provide a better answer.  However, we will try to sync your photos through the section of the file through the article below.  You just need to direct iTunes to where your photos are stored on your external drive.

    If your photos are in a folder

    1. Select "Choose a folder" from the context menu.
    2. Choose the folder where you store your photos.
    3. Click on apply.

    You can arrange photos in subfolders to create photo albums.

  • BlackBerry Q5 you may not believe this, but I can't answer calls on my phone Blackberry Q5!

    You may not believe this, but I can't answer calls of my Q5.

    I followed these instructions (somewhat strange):

    "To answer a call, touch and hold the name or phone number and drag it to the bottom of the screen."

    ... but the phone call sound until the call go to voicemail.

    Any suggestions?

    Something not right here. To answer a call, you simply press the "Reply" button green. No, I have not used a Q5, but with BlackBerry phones of 7-8 that I used it, it's how it's done.

    Then...

    We will restart your phone. Press on and hold both volume up and down buttons at the same time for 20 seconds. Ignore everything you see on the screen before 20 seconds. You can let go of them when you see the name of BlackBerry appear. Once your phone has rebooted, try once more answering a call.

    Please post back with your results.

  • The purchased songs will not download

    I recently installed itunes on a newer laptop.  It's an ASUS with Windows 10.  The installation works.  And I have all the features, as far as I got so far, with the exception of major and frustrating.  None of my purchased songs previously downloaded.  New purchases download very well.  I see my complete library dating for years and they all have the icon download little cloud beside them.  When I click on "available as a download from the elements" he tells me that I have to my current email no items available for download.  I have change the email on the account of my previous installations of itunes.  But when I click on the download icon, or click on download from drop down menu, commands the screen immediately jumps on the screen of 'library' on-screen 'Browse' and nothing happens.

    See download your purchases past - Apple support just in case using a different route from the past buy useful, otherwise I think you need to contact the iTunes Store support team. The change of the email address of your identifier Apple could be significant.

    I bought my iPhone 5 s by T-Mobile and have 2 months left on the purchase. My phone no longer accepts a new presentation. Apple support ran a diagnostic and said it isn't the phone and that I should replace the cable. This was done and the problem remains. Everyone has to experience this problem? And, if so, what was the problem?

    He likely is the phone, but you do Apple physically inspect it. Send it or take it to the Genius Bar. You can do one or the other of http://getsupport.apple.com.
