How do I find music I downloaded from a cd on my iTunes library?

So about 2 years ago I downloaded a CD onto on my iTunes and iPad from my computer. I recently got an iPhone and after I logged into icloud, all my music showed up except for the songs on the CD. I went on my laptop and went to my music library and the music did not appear there. Not sure if this is important but I don't have the computer anymore that I downloaded the CD on. How do I get the music back?

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match you should not expect media ripped on one computer to be available on another unless you actively migrate your library to the new computer. If it is still on the iPad you may be able to recover it using one of the tools listed in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, or you can re-rip the CD (if you've sold or given it away you should no longer keep a copy of the tracks), or you can buy it again.

  • How do I transfer music and stuff from my ipod onto my itunes library on my new laptop?

    I got a new laptop and i plugged my ipod in and everything was okay but the music that is on my ipod is not in my itunes library it is just in the drop down music menu when my ipod is plugged up to my laptop. So, i hit sync and it said either transfer purchases or erase and sync.well i definitely do not want to erase the 500 songs i have on my ipod so i hit transfer and it said that it was unable to transfer because my ipod is not authorized with the computer. so i hit authorize and it asks me to log in and so when i type in my email and password and then hit authorize it just takes me back to the login screen with a really weird random email in and no password. I tried doing this many and just takes me back to the same page. I need to know how to get my music from my ipod onto my itunes library without losing any music. Please and thank you for any help that you can offer.

    If you have an iPod Touch, as suggested by your profile, I suggest you create a thread in the iPod Touch forum. You have posted in the iPod Classic forum.

  • How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC?

    How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC? This is really annoying as I am not able to sync my main music and photo library after my appleTV dowloads 84 GB of TV shows, which my PC is unable to accomodate anyway. Any advise?

    I have a very similar problem in that purchases I make on the ATV are shuttled off to my computer even before I have a chance to watch them. Nothing remains on the AppleTV except (strangely) a show I bought from iTunes months before I ever got the ATV. In order to watch anything, I have to either leave my computer turned off between the time I order and watch it; or I have to have my computer on in order to stream the show back to the ATV. I like the idea of syncing with the computer as a backup solution, but the ATV should be designed to prefer to keep unwatched material on its hard drive until some threshold storage level has been reached, and then it should move off older shows to make room for newer ones.

  • How can I copy just one song from my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    I have purchased songs through the iTunes app on my iPhone 4S.  I want to get these songs on to my iPod.  I figure I need to first transfer the songs from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my PC.  Problem is it always seems to want to sync my library with my iPhone and I have way too many songs in my library to fit on my iPhone.  I just want to transfer a couple of songs from the iPhone to my library. Is there anyway to do this?

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

  • Can't find music videos downloaded from iTunes on my iPod

    Any ideas as to why I can't find the music videos I've downloaded from iTunes on my iPod?

    I am currently using iTunes 7.5. I've made some music video on my own, I have converted the .dv format into .mp4 format. I first import the .mp4 files into the Movie library. But I cannot put these clips in the music video playlist the clips in the movie library. I then tried to import these clips again to the Music library. Nothing happened. I tried to copy the clips from the movie library and paste to the Music library, I could do the cut, but when I selected the music library, the paste command was gray out.
    What did I do wrong?

  • Why are the albums in the device Sync Music window different from the albums in the itunes library? Can't sync albums onto my phone properly. (All software is the latest release.)

    When you select your device to sync music the album list is broken up into artists rather than the albums. The itunes library presents the artists and albums correctly (properly grouped particularly the complilation albums, but also the ones with artists and guests) but the sync aspect does not. It completely screws things up. A good product let down by obviously sloppy programming. Is there a fix? Or do I just change phones and avoid the hassle.

    Maybe the phone does things different from iPod Touch.  Tracks are listed to gether by album for me when looking at albums list.

  • How can I transfer music I have downloaded myself from my iPad to my iTunes library on my laptop. I cannot access my library and had to start anew one which does not contain non purchased music

    I was locked out of my user account on my laptop due to a registry problem. I had another administrator account on the laptop so I am using that now. I could get to the files in the old account and copied them over...... All except the iTunes library. I have a new iTunes library in the new user account but it only contains my purchases, none of the music I downloaded from my own CD,s. Also all my playlists have disappeared. Fortunately, I still have all my library on my iPad and old iPod, but I can't find out how to transfer the music from them to the laptop. I can't back them up onto my laptop either, otherwise everything would be erased from them. I don't know what else has not been transferred over. I think all my apps are there, but none of the audiobooks.

    If the music is purchased through iTunes:

    If the music is not purchased through iTunes:

  • How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    Backup drive?
    Subscribe to iTunes Match?
    If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck.  A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work.  You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

  • How do I find music from Turkey?

    how do I find music from Turkey?

    I don't know of any easy way to search for Turkish music. All I can suggest is that you use the Browse feature (it's under the Quick Links on the home iTunes Store page) and browse the World section. Whether there's any Turkish music on the iTunes Store at all I don't know.
    Regards.

  • HT203167 How do I find music that disappeared after home sharing downloads.

    I try to play a song from my list, and get an exclamation point, and the message: "The song “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I click LOCATE, and my finder comes up, but the music is not there.  (I can, however, find the music I downloaded from the home sharing, just not my extensive library that was originally there.)  Have read every article on finding lost music, but nothing helps.  Anyone out there have ideas?  Many thanks.

    Hello Cindy,
    It sounds like not all your purchases transferred to your computer before your restored your iPod touch.  I found an article with some steps to download your past iTunes purchases.  I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    i bought a macbook and want to know how to get my music to download on a replacement shuffle

    Sorry. If your tabs aren't restores and "Restore Recently Closed Tabs" is grayed and there aren't any windows to restore then the tabs from that session are lost. It is better to bookmark tabs that are important by clicking the star on the location bar or bookmark all open tabs to prevent such issues. You can try to find them in the history (History > Show All History).
