How to transfer non purchased music back to iphone

Hi
I recently had to to a system restore on my iphone 3gs as there was a 'bug' apparently during an earlier sync process. I back up to icloud to make things easier which it did.
One problem, all purchased music does get synced over except 93 songs which i assume are music purchased or transferred to my library using other sources. Is there a way for me to transfer all that music and complete my library the way i originally had it prior to restoring my iphone?
bdw, i check selected songs from my library which is about half of them to sync with my phone. So, only have of the checked ones (93 of them) are synced over.
Any help would be grateful, thanks in advance

All your music should still be in iTunes on your computer. Isn't that the case? Simply select it in iTunes for syncing to your iPhone.
If for soome reason the iTunes library is incomplete, you can redownload all your purchases again for free. Sign in to iTunes Store using tthe Apple ID you used to purchase the tracks; select Purchased from the Quick Links section in the right-hand sidebar; redownload.
The title of your post mentiones non-purchased music, but the text body does not. Is that an issue you also have?

  • I need to transfer non-purchased music itunes to iphone

    In a nutshell. 2005 I bought a PC and copied my entire CD collection to itunes (1000+ songs). I boughjt an ipod in 2006 and copied all the music to the ipod. I've only ever purchased 1 album from itunes store. The PC died. Dead. Gone forever. I boughjt a macbook and soon realized that only the 1 purchased album could be transfered to the new macbook--odd because the PC was dead--yet the one album showed up on the macbook. Oh well, my ipod was fine to listen my collection via my Dennon receiver which has an ipod connector. Years go by. My brother upgrades to the new iphone4 and gives me his old iphone 3GS with 32G (I think).. While trying to figure out if I can transfer my ipod music to my new/used iphone (my brother went to ATT and they set up the iphone with me as the owner) I purchased the App ipod/iphone to Mac and finnally had all my music coped to the Macbook. Now I want to use my iphone to listen to my collection and it seems I can only transfer the 1 purchased album onto the itunes on the iphone. Please, is there an easy way to get all my non-purchased music onto my iphone? Can I tranfer the music via ipod to iphone without using the Macbook?
    Thanks for any help, from anyone, from anywhere? It seems that ipod/iphone to Mac app does not go the other way: Mac to iphone (at least the support info doesn't say it can)

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want ot sync, sync.

    For content not purchased in iTunes, you need third-party software, like this:

  • How to transfer non-purchased music from iPod Nano to new a computer?

    The title pretty much explains my delimma.  I had to buy a new laptop and am trying to move my music library from my Nano to the new computer.  I've installed iTunes and can easily transfer my iTunes purchased music, trouble is a lot of my music has been downloaded from CDs.
    Can anyone help a girl out?

    Create a folder on your desktop. In iTunes select all the songs you want to transfer. Drag them from iTunes to the folder. Transfer the folder to the new computer. Select all the songs in the folder and drag them to the 'Music' section of iTunes.

  • How can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

    Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

    Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
    At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

  • HT1386 How do I transfer NON purchased music from my ipod nano to my itunes library?

    How do you transfer NON purchased music from iPod Nano to itunes library?  I have icloud.

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.

    I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.
    I have backed up the iphone onto my newly installed version of itunes.
    All the purchased albums/songs have been tranferred.
    I tried to tranfer by ticking the sync box but its says it will wipe the iphone and replace it with the new library which has only a fraction of my 1000+ songs.
    I have read many reviews that say it can be done with a third party program but when I looked into this they offer free evaluation but want about £20 for the program but feel this can be done at no cost.
    The itunes is saying my iphone can only be synced to one PC but the original one is wiped.
    Am I right in thinking I should go ahead with syncing the iphone then do the restore. Im just worried that once its synced the music and photos/videos will be gone forever.
    If I go down this route, I think I still need to know how to tranfer the non purchased songs from my iphone back onto the PC with the newly reinstalled itunes.

    Then you will have to purchase 3rd party  software.

    No. You will lose the music that's on the phone if you do that.
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Restore the music to your computer using the backup you should have made of your data before you re-formatted it. If you didn't back up your computer, you will have to pay for software to try and extract it from the phone.

  • How do I transfer non-purchased music (loaded from personal cd's) from my 4th generation ipod to my itunes library in my computer

    How do I transfer purchased and non-purchased songs (loaded from personal cds) from my Ipod Nano (4th generation) to my Itunes library?

    iTunes only allows you to transfer music purchased from iTunes because of copyright laws. You would need to search the internet for a 3rd party app that allows you to transfer the non-purchased music or get them from the original source, i.e. CD, other music site, etc.

  • How to I transfer non-purchased music from an old PC to my new macbook?

    I have an old Dell laptop that is on its last leg and I have about a weeks worth of non-purchased music that I would like to keep. Most of this music is from CDs that I exported to iTunes on the Dell but no longer have the CDs. Is there a way to transfer this music to my new MacBook Pro? I don't really want to keep ALL of the music so it would be best if I can choose artists/albums to transfer.

    If you don't want to keep all the music the best way is to simply drag the media you want to keep from the PC iTunes window to a flash drive and then add it to iTunes on the Mac.  Hopefully the music isn't stored in WMA format because iTunes on a Mac cannot read that at all, and hopefully it isn't stored as WAV because it will lose all its labels during the transfer using this particular method.
    There could potentially be issues with losing artwork too depending upon how the file artwork was initially added.

  • How do I remove purchased music from my iPhone?

    I have purchased music using my iphone.  Now I'm trying to remove the tracks from the phone.  They are not on any of my playlists that I have set to sync, but they are always still synced to my phone.  I have even gone as far as unchecking the Sync Music option in iTunes.  This removed all my playlisat tracks, but the purchased tracks are still on my iPhone.
    How do I get them off? I thought there used to be an option on the Sync Music page of iTunes whenever I bought a track, but now I don't see it.

    Synch your phone with iTunes and transfer your purchases to your computer. 
    Then once you're sure those songs are safely on your computer, unsynch them from your iPhone by unchecking them in iTunes.

  • Problems with non purchased music on my iPhone?

    I'm manually managing music on my iphone, I have 10,000 songs on my itunes but only want 1,000 or so on my iPhone, when i choose songs to put on to my iPhone it appears on my device, but then won't play? This is happening for both non-purchased music and purchased music.
    I have never bothered with iCloud before or set it up properly, but when I first upgraded to ios7 and tried to drag music over from my library, looking on my device there was certain songs on my library that I hadn't dragged over appearing on the device, with different artwork?
    Is there any way to be able to put music on my iPhone the same way as before in ios7?

    If it shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone then you should be able to redownload it from there - does that not work ?
