Can I transfer music that is only on my iPad that WAS NOT purchased from iTunes to my iTunes account on new computer?

I've had my iPad 2 for about four years now and I can tell that the interface is being very slow and that the screen does not always react when I tap on it, meaning I may have to get a new one sooner or later.
My biggest problem is that on my iPad, I have all of the Beatles' CDs, some of which are from my own personal copies and some are from my former local public library. Ever Since I copied all these CDs onto my iPad, I've moved to a new state and got a new laptop, thus starting with an iTunes account that only has music I purchased from the iTunes Store on it, and no Beatles. The local libraries where I live now do not offer any CDs for borrowing, so I have no way of getting some of the CDs I don't own for free. I really do not want to purchase a bunch of albums from iTunes, as well.
Is there any way to get the Beatles music that is only on my iPad that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iTunes account without removing it from my iPad? Thanks for your help!

Then the latter part of my first reply which is repeated here:
- If you follow these instructions the iPod will be updated when the instructions say to restore.

  • ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

    I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

    I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
    I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How do I transfer music that was not purchased on iTunes or iPhone (were from my computer files) onto my iPhone 3gs using iCloud?

    I have done all the settings for iCloud on both my PC (Windows 7) and my iPhone 3gs, and I had to research how to get music from my iTunes onto my iPhone through iCloud. I go to store > Purchased > Music > Not on this iPhone, but this only brings up songs I actually purchased on iTunes.
    However, I have recently added music from my files on the pc and they do not appear in"Not on this iPhone" to download to my iPhone.
    It is very important I find out how to get the other music onto my iPhone as I can no longer plug it into my pc since it blue screens the pc every time (No idea why)

    You need a third-party program. See:

    This is a problem with home sharing, you are not going to have to re-encode all your CD's.

  • HT204053 I have music that was not purchased from app store that has somehow ended up in I cloud. How do I get it back from I cloud to my I pod?

    I have music that was not purchased from I tunes and has somehow ended up on I cloud I think! How do I get this back to my I phone?

    Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

  • How do I get music that is in my Itunes folder, i.e. my own music that was not purchased from the Itunes store, on to my ipod?

    How do i get music that i have put into my itunes folder, i.e. it was not purchased in itunes but from another source, onto my ipod?
    I have looked at a number of different discussions and none have given me the solution. 
    I have recently had to do a restore and all the music that was once on the device was wiped.

    Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

  • HT1766 Will this backup music on my iphone that was not purchased from itunes?

    will it?

    No. Any music on your phone that did not come from iTunes MUST have come from your computer. It should still be there.

  • 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!

  • HT1296 Can i sync my ip4s on to a new pc and not lose music that was not purchased but imported from cd or will it only sync purchased music?

    can i sync my iphone to a new pc without losing music that was not purchased but imported from cd? or will it only sync purchased music? thanks x

    If you're trying to sync your iphone to a different computer than the one that you used to import your CD's, you can't (anymore).  Now that Apple is selling iTunes Match ($25/yr) you can only access non-iTunes-purchased songs if they are either:
    A) on the exact computer that you used to import them into iTunes
    or
    B) are already synced to your iphone
    Now that iTunes Match exists, if you want to move non-iTunes-purchased music that you imported on one computer...to a different computer, you have to buy iTunes Match.  Awesome, huh?

  • CAN I CONNECT MY IPOD CLASSIC TO ANY COMPUTER AND UPDATE ANY MUSIC THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ITUNES ON MY IPAD?

    CAN I CONNECT MY IPOD CLASSIC TO ANY COMPUTER AND UPDATE ANY MUSIC THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ITUNES ON MY IPAD?

    Plug the iPod into the new computer.  When it pops up on the left sidebar, right-click on the iPod and select "Transfer Purchases".  Make sure that you Authorize the computer to play content purchased with that account, or else the music will not play.

    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
    If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
    Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • HT1296 can i transfer music that wasn't purcahsed on itunes from my ipod touch to my new computer?

    can i transfer my music that WASN'T purchased on itunes from my ipod touch to my new computer?
    i have no back up for this music as my old computer and external hard drive i used for back up both died and so the only place i have them at the moment is on my ipod and most of it i cant get again so if my ipod gets wiped clean by connecting it to a new itunes i wont be able to get the songs again.
    does anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?
    Thanks

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How do I sync/import/transfer music that wasn't downloaded from itunes from my iphone to my itunes??

    I recently purchased a new laptop. I redownloaded itunes and synced my phone to my new laptop. The only issue I'm having is my music. All the songs I have purchased on the iphone transfered just fine but I have songs that was not downloaded through itunes. Some were burned from cds (burned cds, etc.), some were transfered from other music players I had and others were downloaded from a different music provider. (All this was done on my old computer.) I'm afraid that if I sync my phone that i'll lose 75% of my music on my iphone. I can sync it just fine but I keep Sync Music unchecked because I get an error box saying that the phone will be erased and replaced w/the playlists backed up. Is there any way I can get ALL my music on my itunes w/o losing anything?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    The only way you can do is to get a third part software to extract those music from your device over to your PC.
    A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • I deleted iTunes from my PC, is there any way i can sync my phone to a newly downloaded iTunes without losing my music that wasn't purchased from iTunes?

    BACK-STORY
    I recently was given a new iPhone 4S from the Apple Store, I synced it to my PC when I got home and got everything back.I had to uninstall a download of windows 8.1 back to the original windows 8 in order to install an anti-virus software. The only way to uninstall Windows 8.1 is basically a factory reset, by doing so I lost everything that wasn't saved in cloud or external drive.I downloaded iTunes again, signed in and the only thing I could find was the music that I purchased from iTunes. I don't want to connect my phone to the iTunes I just downloaded,because I think I'm going to lose all the music that's already on there, minus the music I bought from iTunes. It's a lot of albums and it took me a while to collect them all too.
    WHAT I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH PLEASE
    Can I transfer the music on my phone to some type of storage?
    USB memory drive
    Cloud ex. Skydrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc
    Store somewhere on my PC. (I know I can't sync from my iPhone to iTunes.)
    If it is at all possible to store the music that's already on my iPhone using another method,such as the ones I've mentioned or haven't,can I then transfer it to iTunes?
    If there is no way to save my iPhone's music library, then when I rebuild it is there a way to store it, that if the same thing was to happen I wouldn't have to go through this process?
    Also, any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!!
