Skydrive music won't copy to itunes media in windows 8.1

I am using Itunes 11.1.3.8 and Windows 8.1
This new version of windows skydrive keeps the files on the cloud. I have set itunes to copy music to its own local folder. So, when I add folder to itunes, I thought it would locate the skydrive music and download it to its local media folder.
It doesn't. It doesn't create an error or complain, but it doesn't do anything. I can see the files in skydrive, but nothing gets moved into itunes. I also tried to drag the skydrive music folder on to the itunes icon.
I'm trying to avoid copying the skydrive folder to a local folder and then copying into itunes, because that would involve 3 copies.
Any ideas about how to download these skydrive music folders?

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library.  iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

  • Artwork Missing when copying from ITunes Media Folder (iTunes 9.2)

    After updating to iTunes 9.2, whenever I wanted to copy one song with Artwork to another folder, the artwork is missing as it did not copy anymore. Even if I look at the Preview window, there is no artwork.
    The original song inside my Itunes Media Folder still has the artwork.
    This can't be normal. Is there anyway to fix this?

    This is a much larger problem with 9.2 corrupting the finder. Check out these following posts on this and other sites:

  • HT1364 Why aren't my music files transferred to my itunes media folder anymore?

    So I just replaced my HDD and installed iTunes. When I set up iTunes to put the files on my mirrored drives, the files wound up all over the place instead of my iTunes Media folder. Is this normal?

    Milhouse,
    Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and make sure that "Copy files...." is checked, as shown below.

  • My downloaded music won't play in iTunes

    I purchased a lot of music from the iTune store. I shows on my list of music, but when I try to play it, an error pops up saying it cannot locate the file for the song. There is an exclamation point next to the song. How do I resolve this issue. I refuse to buy the music again. Thanks for your help.

    Are the music files located on your computer? Look in \Music\iTunes\iTunes media.
    If they are not there, restore them from your most recent backup.

  • Purchased itunes music will not copy to ipod touch with windows

    I'm helping out a neighbor. They just got an ipod touch and when they set up the itunes they were able to transfer some music but when they purchased music from itunes and tried putting it on the ipod it won't go. Now no music will copy to the ipod. Does anyone know that they should do? I'm not much of a PC person but I think if I can get some direction I can help them out.

    If the non-syning ones play in iTunes on the coputer:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I copy my iTunes library to windows media player?

    Hi, I've spent all morning trying to consolidate all my music into Windows Media Player...so I can make playlists, etc. iTunes seems to be pretty tough....I've moved the library file around....copied, etc. and I can't seen to paste it into Windows Media Player. My itunes library has about 50 purchased songs, and another 100 from my own CDs.
    Does anyone know how to do this? I'm getting really irritable over this!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    The iTunes purchased songs will not transfer to Windows Media Player. Unless you have the iTunes Plus versions, iTunes purchased files are copy protected.
    There is nothing preventing you from adding the other files to Windows Media Player except for maybe file format. Did you rip the CDs to AAC or MP3 format. Don't know if WMP can play AAC. WMP has no problems with MP3.
    To add MP3 files to WMP just add them using WMP functions.

  • Music won't copy to iPhone

    I have always manually managed my music.  Suddenly, it seems that iTunes won't let me do that anymore.  The titles appear in my iPhone, but they don't actually copy over. Is this another hidden feature like the new atuo shuffle in the music player?  How do I get music to my phone?

    It is helpful.
    You just don't want to do it.
    Okay.
    Dragging and dropping to a playlist is exactly the same dragging and dropping to the iPhone.
    Except you can add songs without having the iPhone with you.
    and you can now use this playlist with other playlists (such as a smart playlist - what is not on the  iPhone) to help you better manage content to put onto the iPhone.

  • Music won't download from itunes to iphone

    Hiya,
    I have purchased music from Itunes App on my iPhone (4S with iOS7 update) and now it won't download to my music without being connected to the computer.  There are no restrictions to my data usage, iCloud is correctly signed in.  I have no trouble downloading other apps or books; only music.  Can anyone help me fix it please? (Obviously I could just plug my phone into the computer and do it that way but I'd like to be able to download without doing so)
    Thanks in advance,

    I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
    Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

  • My music won't play on iTunes

    When I try to play a song on iTunes, it won't play. Tt says it's playing but it never plays on past the 0:00 mark. It even does this for music I have recently bought on iTunes and my music works fine on my iPhone but not on iTunes. I haven't had this issue until recently when I updated iTunes. I have never had this issue before.

    Here are a few quick tricks that I would try:
    - Restart your mac
    - Go to System Preferrences and check your audio settings
    - If you have a portable, check your headphone jack for obstructions or anything strange
    - Test the audio with some headphones, if those work you may only have a settings issue
    Good luck

  • Music won't copy to iphone 5 via dragging

  • Downloads won't copy to itunes library

    I have a mac.
    I have been a safari user but would like to switch to firefox. When I get free (but not illegal, for example, using purevolume) mp3 downloads in safari, the song automatically copies into my itunes library.
    When firefox downloads these, it sends them to my downloads folder but does not copy them anywhere else and I'd really like them to go automatically to itunes.
    I have tried changing where the downloads go to under
    preferences > general > save files to
    and i changed it to my music folder
    but none of the songs are still showing up in my itunes library.
    please help!

    Hold the option key while booting iTunes and choose your Library.
