Buying from the iTunes Store with other computers
If you have an iPod, you can use it to copy your iTunes Store purchases from one authorized computer to another. You might want to do this if you regularly use more than one computer (at home and at work or school, for example) to buy items from the iTunes Store, and you want all your purchases in both iTunes libraries.
To use your iPod to transfer iTunes Store purchases, your iPod must be set up to load songs manually or to store files. (For instructions, click one of the Related Topics links below.)
You can authorize five computers at a time to play iTunes Store purchases. You can transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod only to authorized computers.
To transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod:
- Connect your iPod to the computer on which you bought the items you want to transfer.
- Copy the iTunes Store purchases to your iPod.
- Disconnect your iPod (click the Eject button next to its icon) and then connect it to the computer you want to transfer the purchases to.
- Choose File > Transfer Purchases From iPod.
