  • 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.

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

    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 transfer PDFs from Ipad "not purchased from ITunes"

    Hi all and thanks for taking the time to read this.
    All I want to do is get my PDF files downloaded from the web from iBooks on my ipad to iBooks on my iPhone.
    Because they are not Purchased from ITunes ,this seems to be a real problem.
    I tend to download instruction manuals for my TV, washing machine, Surround Sound system, car stereo....you get the idea... To my ipad in iBooks.
    All I want to do is put them on my iPhone in ibooks too.
    Everything I have found on the web covers PDFs downloaded from iTunes, using Transfer Purchases etc. surely they cant be stuck in one place because they were free downloads.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi all,
    I'm still looking for the solution to this but in the mean time I have a workaround which others may find useful.
    When you first view the , say instruction manual for whatever in PDF form, when asked to 'open in', go for Dropbox, then from there open it in iBooks,
    At least this way it starts its life in a common saved place so you can then access it on your other apple devices.

  • 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:

  • How to download music to iPhone

    I have seen quite a few questions about general syncing (i get that) but this my question is:
    My music appears on the iPhone with the cloud symbol. That's fine but if I'm not near WiFi/3G I'm SOL. How do I get the music downloaded onto the phone ala a regular iPod player so I'm not internet reliant? Syncing just seems to sync the titles/playlists.
    Thanks

    The Music app is the iPod.
    Unless you transfer music from your iTunes library to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process, no music is on your iPhone. The other options are streaming music when connected to the same wi-fi network as your iTunes library, or downloading music from your iTunes account via iCloud when selecting the iTunes store app.
    If you want music on your iPhone - not having to download music from your iTunes account via iCloud when selecting the iTunes store app, what is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • How do I transfer files from my iPod to my new computer when most of my content is ripped from discs, not purchased from iTunes?

    All of the topics I've read that discuss transferring files from an old iPod, to a new computer don't address the issue of the files NOT being purchased from iTunes. My windows vista computer died, and I downloaded the iTunes software onto my new 8.1 computer, but my "classic", with 90G of content won't sync with the new iTunes. Yes, I have authorized the new computer. Of course, I had no chance to download my library from my old computer, to my new, because the old one's dead. It seems that you aren't allowed to transfer your entire library,  just merch from iTunes. I feel there must be a work around, and Apple's just making it difficult for some reason. I'd hate to think I have to go through the time comsuming task of reloading thousands of CDs to my new computer. Any help out there? I would think this scenario happens all the time.

    Unfortunately, it does happen all the time.
    It's always been a sensible idea to maintain a backup of your iTunes Library on something like an external hard drive. iTunes does not allow for transfer from the iPod to iTunes, in the main, to prevent illegal copying of music.
    I believe a programme such as Yamipod will allow you to copy from an iPod to iTunes, although I've never tried it.
