How to get old music that is not on itunes onto new ipod?

Hi there
I have just bought an 80gb ipod and it automatically put the music in itunes onto my ipod. However I have far more music in my c:\itunes that wasn't put in itunes and wasn't put onto the ipod. How do I get all this music on my ipod without having to play all the songs?
I have set up c:\itunes as my itunes folder in edit > preferences.
thanks

You don't have to play anything to get it into iTunes.
File -> Add folder to iTunes.

In iTunes go to the Help menu in the upper menu bar. Then click on iTunes Help. Then on Sync your iPod, iPhone or iPad and follow the instructions.

How to transfer music from old pc (that's not on itunes), onto ipod/new pc itunes account?

Just bought my first ipod. All my music I need to put onto it is on my parent's pc (it is not in itunes, just as normal music files (had old sony mp3 that has broken)), BUT I will be using my own pc for my itunes account. How do I do this without wiping the ipod/etc? thanks

Use a Flash Drive/Portable HD/CD/DVD to transfer the mp3 files to your PC. Then import them into itunes.

Once everything is in iTunes you can sync your new iPod.

I purchased the itunes match. How do I download music that is not from itunes store?

I have been trying to download music from my PC to the cloud. iTunes Match picked up the music I purchased from the iTunes store but did not download any of the music from my PC library. How do I download that music?

Hi,
I do not follow what you are trying to do. Firstly you don't download music from your PC to the cloud - you upload to the cloud!
Where is your music? Is it on your computers hard drive? Has iTunes Match scanned your iTunes library?

How do I put music that is on my laptop onto my Ipod nano 4th generation?

Im new to Apple products and the Apple web page itself. I ripped somemusic from my CDs onto my laptop and want to know how to put it all on my IPod Nano. I think it's a 4th generation. I greatly appreciate any good and helpful advice anyone has to offer me! Thanks!!

Connect the iPod and select it in iTunes. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is not showing, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click on it to select it.
With the iPod selected in iTunes, there is a row of buttons toward the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. If the iTunes music library is small and fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. With this setting, everything in the iTunes music library syncs to the iPod. Whenever you make a change to the iTunes library, such as adding new songs, iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes, the next time it is connected (or when you click the Sync button). If this works for you, you don't have to read the rest.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. A convenient way to use this setting is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. You can call it "iPod Songs," or whartever you want. From the iTunes music library, add the songs you want on the iPod to that playlist. Back on the iPod's Music screen, find "iPod Songs" under Playlists, and select (checkmark) it. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod. Going forward, when you want to update the songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or when you click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

HT1727 My old computer died on me with no warning signs. I didn't know or need to copy my music to another computer. I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again.

My old computer died on me with no warning signs. I didn't know or need to copy my music to another computer. I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again. I just want to be able to get all of my music that I bought on itunes onto my computer. Right now the money ive spent is just gone and I have no music to show for it.

Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

HT1711 I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to iTunes.

I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to my iTunes. I goal is to get my iPod filled with the music that I have stored on my iPhone and figured the only way to do so is to use iTunes as my transfer hub. Any suggestions?

Wow you're kind of a iTunes bully. Dude the reason I am asking for advice and help is I am completely computer ********. If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking. Anyways. Question to anyone else.
If I have no music on my iTunes at all and no music on my computer, hard drive or any other version of storage yet there is a playlist on my iPhone. While my iPhone is plugged into my PC and my iTunes is up, is there a way to swap my playlist from my iPhone to my iTunes? Directly? Without downloading some new media source or backing up my old media source from my history. The reason everything was deleted (iTunes and media source) was due to the size of everything and space it was requiring. I am simply trying to get 233 songs from A to B.
I have tried magic but it is not working.

How do i get the movies that I bought on iTunes onto my new macbook through iCloud?

how do i get the movies that I bought on iTunes onto my new macbook through iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly iTunes and iCloud are different things, movies are handled by iTunes.
iTunes now has iTunes in the cloud and iTunes Match, but neither deals with movies. Your purchased movies will need to be copied from your old computer to your new one.

How to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

how to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

If the music you lost during the sync process is no longer on the iPod, in your iTunes library, or in a backup elsewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You may be able to redownload any lost purchases via iCloud (pending you live in a country where iCloud has gone live).

Will iTunes Match back up music that's not in iTunes but on my iPhone 5?

My music (that was not purchased in iTunes) was deleted from my iTunes account but it's still on my iPhone 5? Will iTunes Match back this content up?

Do you know of any apps that will back up my music?
See these user tips for getting your music from your iOS device to your iTunes library:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
For backing up your personal data, if you are using OS X Time Machine is built right into the OS. All you have to do is plug in an external USB HDD, enable it and forget it (not literally forget it, but it works automatically in the background). If you're using Windows you'll need to do some research to find backup software.

Please help- how do I transfer songs from my brother's Itunes onto my Ipod?

I would like to transfer songs and movies from my brother's Itunes into my Ipod (both are 7.0 version). How in the world do I do this? I have tried to sync individual songs from his Itunes onto my Ipod through the right click sync on the device menu, but it just leads me to a confusing summary screen about my Ipod. I don't want to move all of his songs/movies onto mine, just a few.
Thanks in advance!

On your brothers PC, COnnect the ipod.
On the ipod summery page hit the "Music" tab and check "Manually manage songs and video" then hit the "Apply" button in the lower righthand corner
Now you can drag items in itunes like songs and video from itunes to the ipods name listed in itunes, which will add the item to your ipod.
Keep in mind tho...
If he has any purchased content you add to your ipod, you will need his ID if you plan on adding it and using it on your itunes when you go home

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:

HT201340 OK! Now what do I do with my Aperture library from my old mac that will not open on my new Mac with a different operating system? do I just loose all of the pictures ?

I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and I had Aperture on the old one. Went to open it with the new OS and it says it wiil not open. How do I save my pictures and use them on the new computer?

Hello Pete from another old guy,
It sounds like you have an older iMac than the 2006 and newer model this forum covers. The problem is that, in 2006, Apple changed from PowerPC to Intel processors and third-party developers soon stopped making new software for the older processors. That's why you cannot upgrade Flash player--the current version requires a Mac the "2006 and later" processor.
However, not having a current version of FlashPlayer should not affect your ability to download. If you try downloading, do you get an error message or does something else happen?
Do you have another web browser like FireFox or Camino on your computer?
but would love to get my MAC back up to date and running right.
Well, "running right" may be doable but "up to date" may not be. You are already at as high a Mac OS level that a pre-2006 Mac can use. We need to pin down your variant to make recommendations. From your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar, do "About this Mac":
That brings up this window:
Let us know what yours say for "processor." The two choices are "PowerPC" as in the example, or "Intel." If you have an Intel processor, you have more options available.
Awaiting your report,
Allan
