How do I get all of the music on my computer to transfer to my Iphone? For some reason, itunes has picked up some songs but not others. example, I have several CD's loaded in which only 1 or 2 songs from the CD shows up in itunes.

I have about 70 Cd's loaded on my computer as I had previously owned another MP3 device before I got enamored with the Ipad and Iphone. My problem is itunes will not recognize all of this music. To give a specific example, I have an old Bon Jovi Cd "crossroads" , itunes only recognizes 2 songs off the Cd. How can I get itunes to recognize these songs? They do not show up on itunes anywhere but if i go to my music folder I can locate the songs and it even shows the itunes logo but, the songs will not play with itunes. I've got a few hours of music i would like to have on my iphone. Can anyone please help me with this?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the computer, then sync.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

My iMac was stolen. How do I get all my purchased music?

Depending upon what country that you are in (and whether the music is still available in the store) then you might be able to re-download them : re-downloading.

Hello lramospsych,
To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

How do I get all of my music and apps from my iPhone on to my new iPad ?

How do I get all of my music and apps from my iPhone on to my new iPad

For the items you mention you sync them both to the same iTunes library which acts as master archive and source for all your mobile devices.

So if I got a new computer how can I get all my old music back?

My old labtop with my entire itunes library is no longer accessable so how do I get all my previous music back? Please help me!

Put it on the new computer.
Installing iTunes and logging into a user's account has never caused media to magically appear on a computer.
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Alternatively, type "move iTunes library" into the search bar on this site for detailed instructions.

I have a new i phone and for some reason it has picked up a wrong apple ID in the App Store, its OK in ITunes how can i correct this?

The Apple ID for future purchases is in Settings>Store>Apple ID. However, apps have to be updated using the Apple ID used to originally purchase them. This can't be changed. If the App store is asking you to provide a password for a different Apple ID when you are updating apps, it's because this ID was used to purchase it originally.

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups

I have a new iTunes account, on a new computer. How can I get all my old music on my iPhone?

I recently received a new laptop for christmas, so I wanted to use my own apple account on my iPhone. How would I get all the music/apps from the old library and account onto my new library account?

Your music will only be where you put it.
Copy it from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I just upgraded iTunes to version 11, how do I get rid of shared music on my computer?

I have two computers in my house: my dad's, which is basically the family computer, and my personal one. I just upgraded iTunes to 11 only to find all the music on his computer is on mine as well, even though it wasn't there before. All of these new things have little cloud icons in the corner. I really don't want this stuff on my iTunes, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I've tried deleting it to no avail, and I can't find any way to turn off the Cloud sharing. Is there any fix for this, or will I just have to downgrade to 10.7?

You want all music on your iPhone removed from the iPhone?
If so and you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab or setting for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deslect Sync Music under the Music tab or setting for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop. How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

How can I get all of my music onto my iphone 5 from itunes on my computer, when it is only syncing the music i purchased from itunes store directly?

Everything was fine until I got a USB drive from a friend to download a new album onto my itunes from her. I struggled to get the music synced onto my iphone 5, but it got into itunes fine on my laptop. So I ended up resyncing the whole device, and apparently this means it only could transfer the songs that I had bought from itunes, and none of the previous music I had from cds, etc that I had added to itunes by myself over the years. Now on itunes it has a cautin sign for every single non itunes purchased song saying it does not know where to find the song and can not play it. My iphone now only has 43 songs (the ones I bought from itunes store) and is missing the other 2000 I have. Does anyone know how to fix this for me???? I am desperate! I'm using windows 8 on this new laptop and am beyond confused!
Also it might be important to note that I had itunes on an older laptop and within the past year i have transfered everything to a new laptop, so perhaps since the original music folders were on the old laptop, it cant find them? I don't know, I am not great with technology, but desperate please!!!

Copy everything form your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.

For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

How can I get all of my music to play on my ipod when the wifi is turned off?

Please someone help me....ever since I put my music "in the cloud", I can't seem to listen to all of my music on my ipod unless I am connected to wifi....

I'm not an iCloud user (or different type of "in the cloud" user) but you need the songs on the iPod Touch to play offline. If its in the cloud, i think you need to be connected to listen.

I recently moved computers. how do i get all my movies+music?

My old computer broken a hard drive issue. is there a way to get my music+movies back? if so it will be really helpful

Music can now be redownloaded in certain countries (books and apps too). This article provides some additional information on how to do this:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Keep in mind that only items that are still available in iTunes will be restored - if something has been removed from the Store or even taken down and modified since you bought it this feature won't be able to retrieve it.
Movies are a content type that isn't currently available in the iCloud though unfortunately. You can try emailing iTunes support and explaining what happened, and they may be able to retrieve your movies for you from their end. But the iTunes policy is generally to back your stuff up so they also aren't obligated to do so. You can also try the email route if you find that music redownloads aren't available in your country.
iTunes support can be reached here:

I hope this helps!
