Family share and non itunes purchased music

My wife and I are going to get an ipad mini for the house that we will use for a lot of music storage and entertainment for the house. We have a TON of cd's we purchased back in the day. If I load those into my iTunes, will my wife be able to access that music using family share? Or can you only access music that was purchased? She wants to be able to get that music on her phone.
Thanks!

Okay, so I did as you said, and tried to remove all music from my iphone, and nothing changed on the phone.  The unplayable music and playlists all still show up and the purchased music is still playable and on the phone despite removing it all.
I just now told it to not sync any music at all (unchecked the larger sync music tab) and for some reason it repeatedly re-checked itself.  After 7 or so attempts I got it to only put on 10 songs (idk why any or even why these particular are on)  but now I'm going to try re-adding songs back on.
YESSSSSSS! IT WORKED!!! GAWAAHAHA FINALLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • Apple tv, why can't I play my non-itunes purchased music over apple TV?

  • Multiple Libraries - Authorization Question - For NON-iTune purchased music

    Please help! The questions come at the end.
    I have an extensive classical music iTunes library in AAC format that I ripped from CDs I've purchased over the past 20 years. NON of these were purchased from iTunes. (I have another library on my PC with other music, and I have purchased some iTunes songs for that library). I access one or the other by pressing Shift, etc. No problem.
    Both my son and I listen to classical music, and I wanted to share this library with him by moving my classical iTunes Library to his computer. (I copied the entire folder structure from my PC to his, nearly 50 GB worth). So he now has 2 libraries on his computer. One (the classical library) and his own iTunes library.
    He can access the classical library (hold down shift key, etc.), but gets a message to "AUTHORIZE THE FILE SOURCE" before listening to the music. So my questions:
    ++ Why does he need to authorize music from non-iTunes source? I'm not trying to illegally give him anything from iTunes. My family owns this classical CD collection.
    ++ If he does need to authorize the FILE SOURCE, I suppose he would use MY iTUNES account information to do so. Is this correct? Or should he use HIS account information?
    ++ And if he does use my account info, _will he retain his iTunes account setting for his other iTunes Library_? I.e., He would have a classical music library that's authorized by me (I guess my second computer?), and his regular library with his account information?
    This sounds more complicated than it is (maybe it IS more complicated than I think (sic).
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I could be wrong, but if that's the exact message he's getting, it sounds more like a file permssions error in Windows rather than the typical iTunes authorization message which brings up an obvious request for an iTunes Store ID and password. I'd suggest he look at the Windows permissions for the folder and it's contents and see if perhaps he doesn't have the correct permissions to access that material.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to view non-itunes purchased music on iphone 6

    I am unable to see unpurchased music(CD's I own) on iphone6 after syncing with itunes.  I have tried both options for Music->Show All Music, but it hasn't helped.  I also have iTunes&App Store->Music enabled. I can see the songs on the device within itunes.  Suggestions?

    After a lot of research, I somehow managed to stumble upon a solution even though I can't say with certainty what did the trick.  Still, I thought I would share the experience in case someone else runs into this problem, which also has been described as having music "greyed out".
    A lot of research suggested resetting the phone back to factory settings and then restoring a backup.  I was reluctant to do this so I was saving it as my last option, but I did perform a backup on the phone in iTunes.  I also read somewhere to enable "Use Cellular Data" in "iTunes & App Store" settings.  I switched it on and tried loading a new CD onto the device, but didn't notice any changes in iTunes indicating it was transferring the songs(the songs were visible in iTunes on the phone afterwards, but still greyed out).  I was finally ready to perform the reset when I happened to check the music app and noticed all my music was now visible.  Big sigh of relief!  Now, I can add new CD's and see the songs sync in iTunes.
    I'm not sure which option above solved the problem and quite frankly, it doesn't make sense to me that either would solve this problem.  But if I had to guess, it was the backup.  The greyed out music seemed to imply a DRM issue, which I couldn't figure out how to solve, but the backup appears to have resolved it without restoring it back onto the device.  If anyone else has a better theory, I"d be interested in hearing it.
    Other info of use: iCloud backup was disabled so the phone would backup to my windows computer.  I had music in iTunes set to sync everything, but switched it over to manual to choose what albums/songs to transfer as someone suggested.  As expected, it made no difference.

  • HT4914 transfer non itunes purchased music from Ipod to Itunes

    I have an ipod nano 3rd generation with music content (CDs and Itune purchases) that was synced to an iTunes library on an old pc that crashed and was never recoverable.
    I now have another pc with a new iTunes library and content different from that on the IPOD.
    I would like to transfer the content of that old ipod to the library (in a nut shell I do not wish to take out all my cds and install them manually on the new PC to have their content available for iTunes.
    I pod pages say you can only transfer music from an ipod to iTunes if that music was purchased from iTunes and not if it was from CDs.
    Is there a way around this or do I really have to transfer my CDs one by one to the new Itunes
    Not: I am willing to buy iTunes match if that helps...

  • Transferring non Itunes purchased music from ipod to computer.

    I have followed all the instructions on the Apple website and these forums but have still not managed to do it. I will probably download the freeware listed in the forums. However when I look in My Computer my ipod is shown but when I open it there is no Itunes music folder just contacts etc. Why is this?

    * I see the music in my itunes, but there is no folder! How can that be??*
    The files are hidden. Did you read the link I posted above? It contains instructions for both Mac and Windows to unhide the files.\
    *Side note: My ipod says "do not disconnect" could that have something to do with it?*
    It has nothing to do with it, your iPod is either enabled for disk use, set to manual update or both. Setting an iPod to manual update enables disk use by default. When using an iPod in enabled for disk use the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Just got a new mac computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the hard drive.  Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help?

    Just got a new  computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the old hard drive.  Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help please?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)

  • I downloaded itunes on my new computer and none of my music is showing up.  What do I do?

    I just bought a new computer, because my other one was stolen. I have downloaded Itunes and non of my music is showing up.  What do I do?

    You are supposed to copy your library, itunes folder and music files over in order for your new computer to show up your music.  Since it's stolen, you can only redownload your past purchase from iTunes.
    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • ITunes wiped all but iTunes purchased music from my iPad mini and my iPod nano instead of transferring the cd uploads into iTunes. Is there any way of recovering my music.  Very disappointed!

    Initially things worked fine. I was very pleased. I had my music library in itunes, on my Ipod nano, and a thumbdrive to back up most of my music.
    When I tried to sync the music from itunes onto my new ipad mini last week it deleted the albums in itunes leaving me with only purchased itunes items in the account, On the new Ipad mini CD's from my collection could not be played but they were in fact listed. My new mac will not read the music files I backed up onto a thumb drive or show the uploaded CD music collection. Additionally when I logged into itunes with out any devices connected from my PC the itunes account was completely up to date with my CD's and purchase items in Itunes. As soon as I tried to sync it with my Ipad mini that virtual access to the collection was wiped out leaving only purchased items.
    By trying to upload CD music from my Ipod nano into Itunes (originally uploaded into itunes from CD's and  synced to the ipod nano in the first place, taking more than a weeks time), I am prompted to reset the entire ipod nano to factory settings (it gives no other option).  I was following the instructions emailed to me from the applecare team. This was my only recourse for recovery of the lost music files, the only device left that had my album collection aside from the owned CD's. Now the ipod nano is being wiped clean and left with only the itunes purchased music ( same thing that happened with the itunes account and now the Ipad). When I disconnect the ipod nano to see if there are any albums still left on the device, it gives me an error that it was improperly disconnected.
    I just wanted to add the music from itunes to my new mac and the new ipad mini. Instead I have lost all of my uploaded CD's and now have only purchased items in itunes, the new ipad mini, the new mac, and the ipod nano.  I have to  re-upload my entire music library into itunes/icloud from CD's again and hopefully be able to then sync it with my new devices.
    However it may be better to buy the itunes purchased music on CD's from a store, Cut my losses while I can and never buy anything from apple or itunes again. Atleast I will not have my entire music collection wiped out for moving it between my own devices. Itunes match doesn't do **** either. I have wasted alot of hard earned cash on devices products and itunes purchases by converting to apple products and services.
    What a big mistake.
    Very dissapointed with the interface. Very Very Dissapointed!

    Had the same issue when I changed computers.  I backed up my I-tunes files, including CDs, but I-Tunes will not recognize anything but Apple purchases now.  There were 300+ CDs in that original catalog.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one - way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
