HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.    

For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

    Hello lramospsych,
    To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • So if  I got a new computer how can I get all my old music back?

    My old labtop with my entire itunes library is no longer accessable so how do I get all my previous music back? Please help me!

    Put it on the new computer.
    Installing iTunes and logging into a user's account has never caused media to magically appear on a computer.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Alternatively, type "move iTunes library" into the search bar on this site for detailed instructions.

  • How can I get all of my music onto my iphone 5 from itunes on my computer, when it is only syncing the music i purchased from itunes store directly?

    Everything was fine until I got a USB drive from a friend to download a new album onto my itunes from her.  I struggled to get the music synced onto my iphone 5, but it got into itunes fine on my laptop.  So I ended up resyncing the whole device, and apparently this means it only could transfer the songs that I had bought from itunes, and none of the previous music I had from cds, etc that I had added to itunes by myself over the years.  Now on itunes it has a cautin sign for every single non itunes purchased song saying it does not know where to find the song and can not play it.  My iphone now only has 43 songs (the ones I bought from itunes store) and is missing the other 2000 I have.  Does anyone know how to fix this for me???? I am desperate!  I'm using windows 8 on this new laptop and am beyond confused!
    Also it might be important to note that I had itunes on an older laptop and within the past year i have transfered everything to a new laptop, so perhaps since the original music folders were on the old laptop, it cant find them? I don't know, I am not great with technology, but desperate please!!!

    Copy everything form your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

  • I have a new iTunes account, on a new computer. How can I get all my old music on my iPhone?

    I recently received a new laptop for christmas, so I wanted to use my own apple account on my iPhone. How would I get all the music/apps from the old library and account onto my new library account?

    Your music will only be where you put it.

  • How can i save all my text messages from an old iphone to iTunes on a PC?

    My apps show up, but I can't get everything tansferred over. I have to save my old text messages for legal reasons as I am going through a divorce.

    You should be able to simply back up your iPhone via iTunes and that will automatically save your iPhone text messages to your computer. If for some reason you also want to export them or print them from your PC there a various programs that will let you do that. Here's a MacWorld article with a few tips.

  • HT1386 How can i get all my songs transfered onto the computer from Ipod classic so that my new ipod and my spouse can get the songs??

    Hello
    How can I transfer my songs off my old Ipod classic to the computer so that I can pick them up with my new Ipod 4.  Also I want to transfere some songs to my spouses Ipod 5.  Please let me know what I can do...
    Thank you..
    Alexandra

    You can try the steps in that support article, but I doubt they'll help: you're trying to copy from an iPod Classic, to an iPod Touch.  As far as I know, that can't be done using backup and restore.  (But you can try—it wouldn't hurt.)
    The question I have is, do you have the songs on your computer also?  Or do you only have the songs on your iPod Classic?  (Maybe from an old computer that crashed or something?)
    If you have your songs on the computer, all you have to do is just set up your new iPod through iTunes on your computer and sync the songs from iTunes to your new iPod.  You don't have to do anything with the old iPod Classic.
    (Does that help?)

  • I want to transfer my entire itunes account to another computer. how can i get all of the music i put on my computer on a new computer?

    So my family had a computer that kept all of the songs and videos on it for itunes. how can i transfer all of that data to another computer and put that new computer as our home computer for the home itunes computer? please help me. i have been trying to figure this out for 2 months now.

    open itunes on the new computer and go to the itunes store
    make sure you are signed in with the apple id of whoever purchased all of music from the itunes store
    on the right hand side of the itunes store home page, under quick links click 'purchased'
    you will be able to download anything you have previously purchased for free
    let me know if that works for you.

  • How can I get all of my music to play on my ipod when the wifi is turned off?

    Please someone help me....ever since I put my music "in the cloud", I can't seem to listen to all of my music on my ipod unless I am connected to wifi....

    I'm not an iCloud user (or different type of "in the cloud" user) but you need the songs on the iPod Touch to play offline. If its in the cloud, i think you need to be connected to listen.

  • How can i get my pictures and music from my ipod to my itunes library after having to get a new computer where none of my file exist

    please help i dont know how to do this and i dont want to loose my pictures or music that is on my ipod and not my computer i had to restore my windows and i lost everything but its still on my ipod touch 8 gb

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use this to put everything back.
    The music and pic sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases:  Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    If the pics are pics taken with ipod, then you can import them as you would from any digital camera.  otherwise you can e-mail them to yourself.

  • HT1386 how can i get all my songs that are on my ipod onto my iTunes without losing the ones that weren't purchased on iTunes?

    I got a new laptop and I wanted to put my songs that are on my ipod onto my iTunes without losing the songs that weren't purchased. I have no way of getting onto my old laptop to get the songs if I lose them so I was wondering if there was any other way.

  • How can I get all of the music on itunes to sync?

    When I sync my ipod touch not all of the songs in itunes are transferred over.  I have about 30 more songs in itunes than on my ipod.  There are also a couple of songs that are sync but they will not play on the ipod but they will play in itunes.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I'd like to know this as well.  Mine just started doing this.   I didn't do anything any differently and I have rebooted my iPod.   It gets to the determining items to copy part and hangs there forever.  Photos and apps were copied, however, just not songs.

  • My old computer, and external that I had everything backed up on broke. Majority of my music I got from burning CD's that I no longer have. How can I get all my music on my iPod onto my new iTunes?

    Like I said, my back up broke and I can't get all of my music back by transfering purchases because I burned a lot of CD's I had collected from the past. I don't have any of those CD's anymore, so how can I get all of my music onto my new iTunes? Or am I just S.O.L.?
