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:

That depends on what kind of files you're talking about.
If you mean photos, then you can just plug the phone in and it will appear like any other camera, mounting the camera roll like a flash drive or SD card.

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 library (including play counts etc.) to my new computer?

I want to keep all the info like play counts, what is "checked" and unchecked, and star ratings. This wouldn't happen if i just loaded the songs would it?
My new computer doesn't have iTunes installed yet. I have all the related files from my old computer on an outboard hard drive. All the songs, all the podcsts, and the library file. Pretty much all the data from my section of a shared computer. I also have my iPod which contains most of my library.
How do i go about this? All the music-inclined people said i need other software, but i just want to move my library to my new computer, surely this is a pretty standard thing that iTunes should be able to do by itself?
The new computer is on Vista, i think the old one was windows XP. I got all the data from the old computer about 3 months ago so it's probably from whatever version of iTunes was out then.
Also are there any hurdles to registering my computer to my iTunes account and anything i should do before syncing my iPod to it? (I don't intend to use the old computer again).

See if this helps: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.
There are several different apps that enable you to easily transfer data such as PhoneDisk, Pod To Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

HT1296 How would I transfer files from computer back to iPad?

I bought the iPad 2 in Fall of 2011. I just updated the operating system to 5.1.1.
Before the update, all of my files and apps were transfered to iTunes.
How do I transfer the files and apps from iTunes back to my iPad?
Thanks,

I'm glad you wrote back. The message you are getting would indicate your iPad has not been synced to this iTunes account. In iTunes with your iPad NOT connected do the following:
First go to Store and make sure you Authorize This Computer with your Apple ID and Password
Next go to:
Edit > Preferences > Devices and choose Do Not Automatically Sync iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch when Connected to iTunes
Now, connect your iPad and once it is recognized on the left side, instead of clicking on it as you did previously, RIGHT click it. This will open a drop down box and you should choose Transfer Purchases.
This will transfer your Apps to iTunes.
Now, do not sync. You're going to need to restore from backup if you have any hope of getting your GoodReader content back.
To do this, Again, right click your iPad an choose restore. Choose the most recent backup (I do hope you have been regularly backing up your iPad, because if you haven't, you just may not get your contect back.
That's about the best I can offer you. No matter the outcome, at least your iPad will now be working correctly with your iTunes account on your computer.

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.
