Part 2: How to Transfer iPad Purchases to iPhone or iPod with iTunes
To share your new iPad iTunes purchases, you need to authorize the home computer of the iPod:
• Launch iTunes
• Go to the Store menu and choose Authorize Computer.
• Enter the Apple ID info you used to purchase the iTunes items. If your iTunes purchases are purchased via multiple Apple IDs, you have to authorize the computer for each one.
• Plug your iPad to the computer, and click Transfer purchases button.
• After that, you have transferred your iTunes purchases back to the iTunes library, now, connect the iPod to the computer.
• Sync the iTunes purchases to the iOS device, say, iPod.
If you wanted to transfer your new iPad items purchased in the past but temporarily are deleted on your iPad library, you here can’t transfer them to the iTunes library just authorized. To share these iTunes purchases, you can go to Downloading past purchases from iTunes Store and download them to transfer to the iPod.
But you have to remember this: only up to 5 computers you can authorize with your Apple ID. So if you have authorized 5 computers right now, and also wanna share your iTunes purchases from iPad to iPod, iPhone or other iPad, you need to remove the iTunes DRM protection first.
