Computer authorized, itunes transfers still not working

I'm trying to transfer my ipod purchases to my computer. My computer is authorized and itunes won't allow me to transfer still. There are over 100 songs I can't transfer and therefore I can't backup my ipod.


I've deauthorized, restarted itunes and re-authorized and nothing works. Please help!

iPod, iOS 15

In principle you should rarely need to transfer purchases from your device these days. Unless they have been actively removed from the iTunes Store they should be available in your library to stream or download on demand when you are signed into your Apple ID and the computer is authorized.


With that said see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community for steps to recover all the media on the device, not just the purchases. The easiest method may be a temporary subscription to the Apple Music service, merging the music on the device into an iCloud Music Library which you then download to a computer and backup for security.
