How do I get my music files to imported to itunes

I recently bought the latest iMac and used the Migration Assistant to import all my music from my old computer. I can see on the iMac where my music files are but iTunes won't import them. No clue what's going on right now.

How did you Migrate? On original Startup, or after starting up and creating a user.
If the latter, then you migrated data is in the migrated user's account.
If that is the case, log into the other account and move the music into the /Users/Shared folder. Then, log into the account you want to use and import the music into iTunes.
If that is not the case, please explain where your music is located.

Download it in iTunes from your purchased list, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
If the music is on your phone, another option is to authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

How do i get my music from media shout to itunes

how do i get my music from my media shout library into itunes

Purchased from iTunes or acquired from somewhere else.
For purchases make sure you authorize your computer in iTunes and go to File > Transfer Purchases.
For other songs you will need 3rd party software. Which one depends on what type of computer you have.
Easiest way to put your music is to use your backup from your old computer and restore it on the new one.

How do i get my music from my iphone, onto itunes? Plz help

Hi, I have had my Iphone for two years now, but only got my macbook some months ago. Before i got my computer, i bought my music over the app itunes on my Iphone. My phone is broken so I'm sending it to reparation very soon, and they say i should have a backup for everything. I do have a backup for everything, except for my music. I have tried several tired synchronizing my phone on my mac (the automatic way), but it still wont come on my itunes. So, the music is on my phone, but not on my macbook. I almost clicked "Sync music" on itunes (macbook), but it would delete every bit of music or tunes i had. So of course, i did not do that.
So my quiestion is: How do i get my music onto my computer, so i can get a backup??? Plz answer asap, because I have to send my phone soon.
Thanks

Hello JWILDT,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you have purchased the content from iTunes on your iPhone, simply transfer purchases from your iPhone in to iTunes.

How do I get actual music files to my iPhone?

After buying a new iPhone 6 and doing a restore from the backup of my iPhone 5, I find all the music listed on the new phone shows as being in the Cloud. Attempting to play the music anywhere out of wi-fi range requires downloading the files as cell data. How can I get all the actual music files onto my phone in a bulk process? I'm afraid that if I just do a sync with my iMac I may end up with the Mac files also being only in the Cloud.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put them into iTunes and sync them to your phone.

At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

How can I move the music files back into my itunes library?

Hi. I hope you can help. We bought a new computer and I was using my iPod as an external drive to move the music from one to another. This did not work, it said it ran out of room even though there was room on it...Anyway when i returned to my iTunes page the music was no longer in the library. When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library. How can I get it back there? Whenever I plug in my iPod now it tries to sync it with the library which would wipe away all of the music.
Thanks

+"When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library."+
Putting the files on your computer does not cause them to be added to the library. To add them, use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to My Music or whatever folder(s) all the music is in.

How Do I Quickly Find Music Files Not Used By iTunes So I Can Delete Them?

Hello, I have deleted many songs from my Windows iTunes library; but, the music files remain on my hard drive and are taking up space. I need to quickly and efficiently find these music files to delete them. I would prefer to not have to download another utility to accomplish this.
While I now have iTunes setup so that any future deletions will prompt me to move the music file to the recycle bin, I want to clean-up my hard drive.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Michael! I had to deauthorize my iMac b/c I says I have 5 computers authorized on my account already. I don't even have 5 computers. Are my iphone and Apple TV counted in the 5? And if there are old computers that are still authorized, how do I get them off of my 5?
Thanks
