How do you transfer music from a flashdrive to your itunes library

I had some music saved on my old hp computer.  Now I have an imac and I want to transfer the music into my itunes library so I can put it on my iphone.  I dragged the flashdrive over to my itunes and it makes a green plus sign my when I drop it nothing happens.  Can anyone please help me. thanks

The Mac OS X version of iTunes can't handle WMA files. Use a product such as Switch to convert them.
No Mac software can play or import WMA files which contain DRM.

  • How do you transfer music from different computers to your ipod?

    I have two computers that are configured to my ipod. Because one is usually in the shop being fixed I have a problem when I purchase music on the secondary computer and want to transfer it to the main computer. It will transfer to my main computer through a cd but it requires that locate on the harddrive. It will play on the computer once I locate it but it won't tranfer to the ipod when syncing. Any suggestions?

    If the music you want to move from computer A to computer B is on your iPod the job is easy. There are free and shareware programs that transfer music from the iPod to your computer. Check out your favorite download site.

  • How do you transfer music from the computer to your mp3 playe

    does any body know how to transfer music from your computer to your mp3 player coz i cant do it ??

    easiest way is to use the nomad explorer download available under support/downloads for your mp3 player.
    then you just drag and drop from a file you have music on your PC to the mp3 player .
    just in case,,, to drag and drop means to click the left mouse button over a mp3 file or individual song and while holding down the left mouse button you drag the file over to the mp3 player icon or folder, then let go of the left mouse button.

  • How can i transfer music from my iphone 4 to itunes library?

    A while ago, my computer crashed and wiped out everything. I had to install Itunes. I've had my iPhone 4 for a year, and have many pictures and music on it.
    I still haven't updated my phone to version 5.1, and i would like to.. but my computer is saying that i should transfer all my apps, music, etc, so i don't lose it, but i do not know how to do that. HELP!

    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  You will read in this article that music on your phone not purchased from iTunes cannot be synced to your iTunes library.  To transfer this music you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (or re-rip you CDs with iTunes to import them).

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes library?

    I have a new laptop that I just downloaded iTunes on. I plugged in my iPod but can't sync it without deleting everything.
    When I first got my iPod I never made an iTunes account because I just used tons of CDs to make my library.
    Now I have an iTunes account but I don't know how to transfer my music to the library without just starting over and relying on lots of CDs I don't want to dig up.
    Any help?? Thank you!

    If you still have the computer with your original library these are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
    As above there are free tools out there...

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes library?

    Recently my previous notebook broke so that my whole iTunes library was deleted. Lucky me I have all my songs on my iPod and I didnt have any problems trasferring the songs I bought at iTunes to my iTunes library, but I don't know how to transfer the other songs.
    Is there anybody who can help me?

    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer,
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How do you transfer music from my ipod to my itunes?

    i want to get a new ipod but i dont want to lose all my music from my old ipod.

    You cannot do this. Itunes does NOT allow that.
    You can use third party applications to take the music off yourself. Theres lots out there. I personally use Media Monkey for all my syncing needs.
    A quick google search can go a long way.
