How do I import to iCloud a movie in, but not purchased through, iTunes?

I have movies downloaded via digital copy. How do I import it to iCloud? Thanx!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Have you failed to do this?
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
You may be able to purchase a third party program (not supported by Apple) to retrieve the other music.
"I've heard people have lost lots of music with this upgrade."
Where have you heard this? This could only happen if you simply do not do the very basics.

I have this issue too and want the same result, another feed suggests selecting the movie, going to get info, and changing this under options, but I suppose you have to do that movie by movie.
You can select all the movies you want and change them at once.

How do you find your account history for what you have purchased through Itunes. I have purchased apps for my Iphone and music and want to see a listing of where my money went. I use an itunes card so I can keep an idea on how much I have spent.
Thanks.

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!

I have the new ipad. I am in the process of trasferring movies that were not purchased thru itunes from my PC to the ipad. My GB ipad allotment is almost used up. How do I get the remaining movies into the cloud or does it only take itunes videos?

I have the new ipad and I'm trying to transfer videos from my PC to the ipad. My GB allotment is almost used up and I want to utilize some of my free cloud storage. How do I do this or does the icloud only take items purchased thru itunes?

iCloud cannot help you - it's not a storage device, but primarily a syncing and backup service. You have to decide which videos to put on your ipad as you cannot add more memory to it.

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!

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?

How can i play music from my external hard drive not purchased in itunes on my iphone

I have all of my music backed up to an external hard drive and have copied it to my new laptop and linked it to my itunes. I can play all the music on itunes but cannot play it on my iphone. The music was mostly uploaded from cd's that are now lost. Help!!!

thank you, I had done all that and I know seem to have sorted the problem by dragging the folder containing the music into the itunes music folder through the side bar.
cheers

HT1600 After playing movie on netflix or purchased through itunes for a while, sound is garbled. people sound like robots. Stops if i retart/restore but,does it again. Software updated,wires all in.

After playing show purchased through itunes or playing netflix for a approximately 1 hour the sound is garbled. The people speaking soung like robots. I restart/restore and it happens again. Software updated and all connections are fine. What is the problem?? I plan on taking it back...

Doesn't sound right - if you've unpowered it to restore, and also restored I'd suspect a hardware issue if this gradually develops, perhaps heat related issues.
If under warranty get it looked at/replaced.

How/where or can I- store 75 HD movies (not purchased from itunes)and have them accessible from an ipad?

How/where or can I- store 75+ HD movies (not purchased from itunes) and have them all accessible from an ipad? Is their a cloud or other app. that would allow me to do this? What my wife wants to do is to be able to open up an app. and have all of her movies listed and then be able to click on any of them and watch them on her ipad. HELP!

The easiest way to do this is to import the movies into iTunes and sync as many of them as will fit onto the iPad.
If you want easy access to all of the movies without having to sync, you can find a file sharing website and upload all the movies there. Then, get a download managing app such as iDownloads, bookmark the links to all of the movies, and you can download them at will and delete them when you're done with them.
If you're especially tech savvy and want a solution that is less laborious, you can setup an FTP server (such as the Filezilla server if you have Windows) on the computer where the HD movies are located, and give it access to the folder where the movies are. Then get an app that can download to FTP servers (GoodReader is one that I use) and download the movies at will via FTP. This solution requires less busywork, but is only feasible if you are especially technically savvy.

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...

See my answere to your post in the Mt. Lion forum.
