  • How can I transfer music not purchased on iTunes to my new computer from my iPod?

    I recently got a new computer and wanted the music from my iPod on it. I have a ton of CD's so over half the things I have on my iPod aren't things I purchased from iTunes.
    When I went through the process of transferring (it only gave the option to transfer purchases) there were no songs from any of my CDs.
    I have tried everything I know how and still I have not found anything to actually help. I've backed it up and there is still nothing new in my iTunes.
    Why can I not transfer items not purchased from iTunes to my new computer? How do I do this?
    I would greatly appreciate it if you would put an answer in the simplest form possible as I am not very tech-savvy.
    I would also like to do this simply and without downloading another program if at all possible.
    I have a Windows 7 computer if that is of any help.
    Thank you!

    My iphone 4 was stolen and I now have a replacement. Luckily my music was stored on an external hard drive and when I transferred it to itunes it came up as previous library.

  • Where did my file directory go?  I thought my mail was backed up in my .me account and now that my computer was stolen and I need to restore my emails all I can find are the ones in my inbox

    I thought my mail was backed up in my .me account but when my computer was stolen and I went to restore my email in my new one, all I had were emails in the inbox.  Is there any way I can retrieve the saved file directory?  I did not back up the mail because that was being done by the .me account (I thought)

    If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

  • I was trying to move my itunes to an external hard drive and I have now lost all music not purchased with itunes

    I was trying to move my music to an external hard drive but now I have lost all music that was not purchased with itunes. I never hit delete so its still somewhere on my imac. How do I find it?

    Do a Spotlight search or do a logical search along folders that make sense such as looking in the music folder first.  Moving a library correctly should not result in any loss, and I can't think of any way to move a library and lost just a select grouping of files.  How were you trying to effect this?

  • HT4528 After my last sync my iTunes no longer plays any music not purchased in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    I did the latest update and synched my iPhone 5C, after the sync all music that was not purchased through iTunes will not play on my phone. I figured out how to "homeshare" those songs but they aren't really on my phone so once wifi is off I no longer have them. Any suggestions? Most of these song were off of cds. I don't want to purchase them all again through iTunes what a waste of money. I'm feeling super annoyed.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi there dryval76!
    There are a couple of reasons for seeing an issue such as that. I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot and find out the source of the issue. The first is an article about troubleshooting issues with playing songs in iTunes, and it can be found here:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble playing music or other audio
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12135
    If the issue is happening in all areas of your computer, not just iTunes, then you will want to reference this article:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • How do you sync new music not purchased in iTunes to my iPhone

    Hey there,
    I've always been able to sync all of my music (some purchased through iTunes, some from CDs, and some downloaded from YouTube and converted to MP3) without a problem. Recently I've noticed my new music that I've got from YouTube isn't syncing to my iPhone. It plays fine in iTunes though, and other music I've got using this method plays fine on my iPhone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    *iOS 8.2

    Don't worry there is an easy fix to this,
    your phone is probably not "synced" to the computer (just another dumb iTunes thing).
    How to fix: 1. Plug your iPhone into your computer, then click on it when it appears in iTunes.
    2. Under the "settings" tab in iTunes click music
    3. At the top it should say "sync music" with a little check box next to it, If it is unchecked, click it.
    4. at the bottom right of the page click "apply", a dialog box should appear telling you that you are going to erase your music (don't worry it doesn't actually erase),
    5. click "ok" or "yes" whatever the box says to continue, then another dialog box should appear saying that if you conform you will be erasing all your iPhone's settings and content, (again don't worry it doesn't actually)
    6. you should now be able to sync music onto your device (assuming is a supported format ex. mp3)

  • Can't play music I purchased in iTunes

    Why  itunes keeps on asking me to verify my account, when the computer is authorized? And doesn't play the music i purchased in itunes.

    go directly to your ibook app. and you're going to find it. it's only with ibooks app.

    If you want to download a non-free item then you will either need a payment method - so you will either need to enter the credit card's details, or buy iTunes gift cards (if they are available in your country), either way you will need a method of payment.

  • If my iPhone was stolen and i didn't have FindMyiPhone app or MobileMe can I issue an insurance claim

    If my iPhone3GS was stolen and i do not have a FindMyiPhone or MoblieMe app can i still issue a insurance claim

    A warranty and insurance are two different things.
    The iPhone one year limited warranty doesn't cover theft.
    Apple - Legal
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    AT&T is your carrier, not an insurance company.
    If you have home owner's or renters insurance, then the theft may be covered under that.
