Cloud and songs not purchased through iTunes

I want to add music from my iTunes library that I did not purchase through iTunes to my cloud storage. Is this possible or am I stuck manually adding songs to my device?

no

  • I activated home sharing but after syncing, the cd's Tunes which I had burned on my PC, did not share to my other devices but instead the cloud symbol has an error message next to each song not purchased through iTunes.

    I activated iTunes Match but the songs in my iTunes library that were not purchased through iTunes did not share to my other devices. instead there is a cloud with an exclaimation point nnext to eahc one and it says errror when you mouse over the cloud.  How do I get these songs to share on iTuens Match?

    Well, now I feel like a real dope. I restarted iTunes (can't believe I didn't do that before) and now the TV's see the share, and the iPhone see it too (I assume the iPad sees it but I have not checked yet).

  • I have static on song not purchased through itunes?  Any help??

    I have static only on the song I have not purchased through itunes. All itunes music plays fine? Has anyone else had this problem.

    Well, I don't think you are alone. My iTouch is exhibiting a high frequency liek static scratching on imported from CD songs. It's very annoying to be experiencing this kind of issue on such an expensive music player.
    Does your issue reside in the high end of the music? If so, please complainas much as possible to Apple. Mine and my wifes are doing the same thing, from two different PC's.

  • Is it possible to restore songs (not purchased through itunes) erased from a device by itunes sync?

    I recently had to reinstall itunes after all of my computer files were completely lost. When I plugged my iphone into itunes and attempted to transfer my music from the phone to the computer (running windows 8.1), itunes erased all of my music that was not purchased through apple (and also ruined my playlists). Because the files on my computer were all lost, i do not have this music backed up anywhere.
    I was wondering if there was any way to recover all of the songs that itunes had erased from my phone.
    This really is quite frustrating because the deleted songs arent even available on itunes itself for purchase!

    no

  • I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

    I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
    1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
    2) Erased phone and restored from back up
    3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
    4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
    5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
    6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
    7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
    8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
    9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
    10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
    11)  I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
    After all of these things it is now WORSE!!!  My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out.  My conclusion is i have no clue at this point!  I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!!  PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!! 

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play.  How do I resolve this issue?

    Hello,
    Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone.  It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it.  The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes. 
    Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too.  In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
    Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades".  Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore.  Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
    Thank you,
    Dago

    You will probably lose the music.
    Why is it not on your computer?
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

    I have numerous music movie clips that I have not purchased through iTunes, Is it possible to stream these "home" movies using iTunes to apple TV?
    And if iTunes will not allow it, is there another complete program available that I can purchase to have my music movie clips stream to a TV and/or another computer?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
    One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
    Thanks for your advice!

  • Does family sharing allow content not purchased through itunes?

    Most of my music has been ripped from my CDs, not purchased through itunes. The family sharing feature in ios8 sounds tempting since I currently have 4 of us working from a single account which causes some issues at times. Will I still be able to share the ripped CDs and other content not purchased from itunes with other family members if we split up and then turn on family sharing?
    Thus far, the 5S that just arrived today is the only device with ios8 on it. The other iphones and ipads in the house will need to be updated when it seems safe to do so. We are also running itunes on two macbook pros and a few PCs.

    Yes, home sharing works with both purchased and ripped music, as well as videos.  It does not allow you to move content from one computer to another; it allows you to stream content from one computer to another computer or device on the local network (or connected via a VPN).
    If you want to access music outside of your network and copying it is a problem, then you might consider Match.

  • How can I get songs not purchased on itunes off of my ipad2 and into itunes without using an external harddrive?

    This has been a problem forever.  I don't want to blank my devices and sync them.  I just want to move files between them.  It is a huge pain in a** that you can't just drag files around.
    I have music from before ipods.  It was put on an pc years ago that used to be linked to my current ipad2.  All of my music is on the ipad2.  that old pc has been reformatted and is now used as a workstation with only a few programs on it.  I now have a new pc.  I want my music on this pc.  why am i not allowed to do this through itunes?  why does syncing not take files on my ipad that aren't on my pc?  why must i erase all of my data on the device in order to sync with itunes that has no data to sync?
    All of the music i have purchased through itunes is fine.  all of the apps are fine.  what possible reason could there be for me not being permitted to take things that i own and put them on other things that i own?
    I also have a new 5s.  Why must i also erase this to put one friggin playlist on it?
    Could i do this using an external hardrive? maybe.  in an incredibly and overly laborious way.  when the friggin files are right there.  when i can look at them, and even play them through my pc from my ipad, but moving them over so i can put them on my phone....  **** no.  the world would explode then.
    The sync options should have a choice of putting all the combined data from both devices on both devices.  I have absolutely no understanding of why in the year 2013 this is still a problem.
    Most likely for the 10 trillionth time on this forum, how do i do this?

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    While I agree that it would be nice if it was easier to transfer media from your Apple devices they should never be used as the sole location for any of your media. They are too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. The user tip above also includes a link to a suggested library backup strategy so that you can avoid being in the same position in future.

  • I just updated itunes and a LOT of my movies and music disappeared. These are movies and music I owned already and did not purchase from iTunes. How do I find them or do I need to add them all again? Also what happened to the sidebar?

    I just updated my iTunes software and have a lot of problems...
    1. The sidebar option is gone. I LIKED the sidebar and it was easier for me to navigate that way.
    2. Also no lists? I hate the icon way to view it. It makes my eyes go wonky and I have a harder time actually looking for what I want.
    3. A LOT of my music and movies have disappeared. These are music and movies I owned that I did NOT purchase from iTunes so I can not re-download them.
    How do I find the missing files? Do I have to readd them into iTunes? Is there a way I am not seeing to put thew sidebar back or make the files be viewed in list form? Can I undo this update to put it back the way it was. I hate this update...

  • When I "deathorize all" computers and re-authorize my current pc so that I can use it for iTunes, will I lose any of my music, especially those that were not purchased through iTunes directly?  I am afraid to that I will lose non-purchased songs.

    Will I lose any of my non-purchased music that I imported from CD's when I "deauthorize all" computers and "re-authorize" my current pc?  I am fearful that I will lose several songs from my library when I do this.

    No. Deauthorizing only removes the computer from the list of computers that you can use to view or purchase new music under your iTunes sign-on.

  • How do I itunes to transfer music and ringtones that not purchased through itunes?

    Help with transfer to itunes.

    Transfer from what?
    If your iPhone is now the only device holding content you want on your computer you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post.
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
