How do I transfer the iTunes Match songs downloaded on my computer to my iPhone?

I downloaded all of my songs from iTunes Match to my computer and was hoping to transfer them via USB to my iPhone. It appears that the only way to get them on my phone is to download them from the could though. Is there a way to transfer the songs to my iPhone via USB? Or do I have to download them (again) from the cloud?

I turned off iTunes Match on my phone and things seemed to work how I wanted. The songs that I downloaded on my computer just transferred over like normal.

    How do I transfer an iTunes gift card balance to another computer?
    I redeemed an iTunes gift card on one computer in the house, but don't have a home network/sharing set up. I want to be able to use that balance on another computer in the house. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    +When I use this computer to order something, the charge is placed on my credit card that I used for the account and the iTunes card balance is not getting deducted.+
    Sounds like you live in Canada and are buying apps. Gift card in Canada can only be used for music and movies, not apps. The apps will use the credit card instead.

    How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

  • How do I transfer my itunes music library to my new computer

    How do I transfer my itunes music library to my new computer (not a mac owner)?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I transfer the iTunes library from my Mac to Windows without moving files?

    I have my Media on a Windows file share and currenty my Mac's iTunes library is pointed there. I just installed iTunes on my Windows box and now I want to transfer the iTunes database( music, playcounts, playlist, etc ) to the Windows iTunes while keeping the files in place as they don't need to be moved.
    Both systems are authorized on my acount and have home sharing turned on. They are both pointed to the same Media folder in their library settings.
    How can I make the transfer without uncessary file copying?

    The key file is the library.itl file.  This is the file iTunes uses to store all the information it presents to you when you open the program.  Well, there's also a few other library files as well as the artwork folder, but the .itl file is the center of it.  You don't say whether or not the PC has its own library with unique content, or if you are trying to duplicate the library for both.  If the PC library is empty try copying the whole iTunes folder (which contains no media according to you) to the PC, then start iTunes with the shift key held down and guide iTunes to the new library file set (or copy it over the one currently on your PC and just start normally).

  • Undoing iTunes Match songs downloads on my iPhone?

    I have over 48,000 songs in iTunes Match.
    All of my songs showing on my iPad are in the iCloud. But some of my iTunes Match songs on my iPhone are downloaded onto my phone and I don't want them to be.
    How do I reverse them into just being in the iCloud?

    That approach works when I am loading new music.
    I have found it doesn't work for music that has been loaded much earlier in time. For those songs, the swiping my finger to the left approach doesn't work.
    I noticed recently that sometimes the songs that appear to be downloaded on my phone - that show no cloud by them - will subsequently show a cloud, which might mean that they actually aren't downloaded on my phone but something isn't working or efficient with iTunes Match.
    Has anyone had that happen to them? Are some of my issues potentially due to the number of songs I have on iTunes Match?

  • How do you restric the number of songs downloaded at the same time?

    With the latest version of iTunes when I purchase an album from ITunes Store it starts to download upto three songs at the same time.
    This slows down the speed at which they are downloaded up to 6 times for each song what it takes when downloading a single song.
    Is there anyway to restrict the number of songs downloaded?
    You can pause all downloads and then manually download each one but then you have to sit at the computer the whole time.
    I'm using cable broadband with upto 512kbps.

    I have the same issue with TV shows. Purchasing more than one show starts downloads on several files (shows/songs/movies) at the same time. If I remember correctly, certain older versions of iTunes proceeded to download only one file at a time. If it finished one, it started the next on the list until the files were all downloaded, or the internet connection was interrupted, after which you had to "check for purchases" to start downloading where you left off.
    I wonder if there is a way to change that setting back to the old way? I'll be watching this thread for news...

    Hi Bill of NJ,
    If you are only seeing part of your content on your new computer with Home Sharing (for example, new purchases automatically downloaded with Automatic Transfer), you may need to manually transfer the remaining files via Home Sharing. You may find the following article helpful:

  • How can I transfer my photos and songs from my old computer to my ipad? (Old computer running on 10.4 and not compatible with the last itunes needed by ipad)

    Hi guys,
    I got an ipad 2 running on iOS6 and I'ld like to put my photos and songs from my old computer (mac Osx 10.4.11) to my ipad. The trouble is that Ipad needs itunes 10.6.3 at least and that my computer can't receive this version as it is running on 10.4.11.
    Would anyone have a solution to that problem?

    For photos: You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • HELP! How do I transfer my itunes purchased items to a new computer

    So my old computer with MANY purchased items died..I was able to transfer songs from my ipod to the purchased section of Itunes on my new PC..but what about all the other purchased songs? How come they don't load up onto the itunes on my new pc?

    Depending on the type of old computer you had and you still have it. It is possible to pull the harddrive from the old computer (if the harddrive is still good) and either purchase a external harddrive case with usb support or hook the old drive up to one of either SATA or IDE (depending on type, If IDE then the master slave or cable select jumper needs to be in the proper place)connections in your computer and use it as a extra drive.

  • ITunes Match song download error on iPhone

    All songs matched or uploaded sucessfully.
    I've tried to download just 1 playlist after enabling match on my iPhone 4, but 3 songs are stuck in download queue in iTunes (phone).
    They say 'download error, tap to try again'
    When I tap the progress bar shoots up really fast then at processing they fail.
    Anyone any ideas?

    The only way that worked for me was deleting the songs in iTunes (both iCloud and Mac while keeping the files). Then updating iTunes Match. Next, drag and drop the album back to iTunes and update Match.
    Next, on iPhone, the only way that worked to download them is to actually playback each song in the album NOT "download all" button or even individual download button. If I use the buttons, it downloads part of the song then I get the error message or it stops midway and you can't delete the song from the download queue. Again, the only way that worked for my iPhone was to playback each song without skipping any of them and they easily downloaded on my phone. Hope this helps
    PS: The check downloads on iTunes did nothing to me as it never showed the iOS queue items, only my undownloaded purchases from iTunes Store.

  • How do I get the itunes 64 bit download?

    I already have itunes installed on my computer but I haven't been able to get my iphone to show up in itunes. So I think I'm missing this 64 bit download for windows you need. But I can't seem to find where to download it. On the itunes download page it says "itunes for Windows 64-bit" but it doesn't give you the option to download it. I've uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it but still no luck. My iphone just shows up as a camera and that's it. Does anyone have a link as to where I can download this??
    Thanks a lot

  • How can I view the iTunes folder under iPod in My Computer? (transfering)

    I selected "Manually manage music" in iTunes under the iPod summery but still can't see the iTunes folder when I select my iPod in My Computer. Can anyone help please!

    Manually manage means you can drag stuff into or delete stuff out of the iPod from WITHIN iTunes.
    The area where that stuff is stored on the iPod is hidden from normal view if you look at the iPod in My Computer.
    If you want to see those hidden files and folders, see this older post by MacMuse...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=797432&#797432
    Otherwise stick with iTunes for moving stuff in and out of the iPod.

  • I can't get the iTunes installer to download to my computer. Win 7 Pro.

    I have tried for two days to download the iTunes installer on a new computer. I'm running Windows 7 Pro on a Dell Precision, i7 processor, 32 GB RAM. A window pops up when I click on the Download link, asking if I want to download the file. When I click it, it opens a new window thanking me for downloading iTunes, but the download never occurs. I've tried this on both Firefox (36.0.1) and IE (11.0.9600.1761).
    Does anybody have a useful solution?
    Michael

    There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads - like the previous 12.1.0.77 release, there are three different installers available, with direct links to these as follows:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version.  Based on evidence of the previous release, this may also be an appropriate alternative if you have playback issues or crashes with the standard 64-bit version, or problems syncing with MS Outlook.  In the case of playback issues, you should check the following before trying the "for older video cards" version:
    Varying the Play Audio Using settings under Edit > Preferences > Playback (you need to restart iTunes for changes to take effect).  Setting this to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session" has been reported to address some playback issues (though some users have stated the reverse to be the case - this may vary with specific audio hardware/drivers)
    Verify that you have the latest version (7.7.6) of QuickTime installed - some users have found that absence of QuickTime, or an out-of-date version can result in complete lack of audio output, particularly (though not exclusively) with Bluetooth audio devices.
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.
