How do I transfer music that was not purchased on iTunes or iPhone (were from my computer files) onto my iPhone 3gs using iCloud?

I have done all the settings for iCloud on both my PC (Windows 7) and my iPhone 3gs, and I had to research how to get music from my iTunes onto my iPhone through iCloud. I go to store > Purchased > Music > Not on this iPhone, but this only brings up songs I actually purchased on iTunes.
However, I have recently added music from my files on the pc and they do not appear in"Not on this iPhone" to download to my iPhone.
It is very important I find out how to get the other music onto my iPhone as I can no longer plug it into my pc since it blue screens the pc every time (No idea why)

You need a third-party program. See:

Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

HT1296 Can i sync my ip4s on to a new pc and not lose music that was not purchased but imported from cd or will it only sync purchased music?

can i sync my iphone to a new pc without losing music that was not purchased but imported from cd? or will it only sync purchased music? thanks x

If you're trying to sync your iphone to a different computer than the one that you used to import your CD's, you can't (anymore). Now that Apple is selling iTunes Match ($25/yr) you can only access non-iTunes-purchased songs if they are either:
A) on the exact computer that you used to import them into iTunes
or
B) are already synced to your iphone
Now that iTunes Match exists, if you want to move non-iTunes-purchased music that you imported on one computer...to a different computer, you have to buy iTunes Match. Awesome, huh?

Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure. I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

How do I get music that is in my Itunes folder, i.e. my own music that was not purchased from the Itunes store, on to my ipod?

How do i get music that i have put into my itunes folder, i.e. it was not purchased in itunes but from another source, onto my ipod?
I have looked at a number of different discussions and none have given me the solution.
I have recently had to do a restore and all the music that was once on the device was wiped.

Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

How to get music from iphone into itunes library, that was not purchased via itunes??

Hard drive crashed, I restored my itunes music from a backup, but the backup was not updated, I'm missing music that I have on my iphone playlist, this music I got from a friend, I didn't buy it from itunes. Question: How can I get this musica from the iphone into my itunes library???
Thank's for the help!!!

The music 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).

ITunes is prompting me to update my iTouch (4th Gen.) to iOS 5, but it will erase all media. Is there a way to backup the music on my iTouch that was not purchased via iTunes? How do you back up media, if it is even possible?

I no longer have access to my other music. My computer crashed a month ago, and I did not have my newest music files backed-up anywhere else. I really don't want to lose that music.

I upgraded to version 5 on my IPad Wifi64 and now I can't find my music or podcasts, etc. I don't want or need to upload everything to a cloud. Does anyone know how I get to my music and stuff?
Oh...I can see the music when I connect to my computer. I'm hoping that Apple isn't acting like Microsoft and eliminating features to push people towards something they want...like access to your information...or for you to only have things you buy from them. Hopefully I'm over thinking it and there is simple answer...anyone know the answer?

This is a problem with home sharing, you are not going to have to re-encode all your CD's.

There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod, iPhone or iPad. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

Can I transfer music that is only on my iPad that WAS NOT purchased from iTunes to my iTunes account on new computer?

I've had my iPad 2 for about four years now and I can tell that the interface is being very slow and that the screen does not always react when I tap on it, meaning I may have to get a new one sooner or later.
My biggest problem is that on my iPad, I have all of the Beatles' CDs, some of which are from my own personal copies and some are from my former local public library. Ever Since I copied all these CDs onto my iPad, I've moved to a new state and got a new laptop, thus starting with an iTunes account that only has music I purchased from the iTunes Store on it, and no Beatles. The local libraries where I live now do not offer any CDs for borrowing, so I have no way of getting some of the CDs I don't own for free. I really do not want to purchase a bunch of albums from iTunes, as well.
Is there any way to get the Beatles music that is only on my iPad that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iTunes account without removing it from my iPad? Thanks for your help!

Then the latter part of my first reply which is repeated here:
- If you follow these instructions the iPod will be updated when the instructions say to restore.
