Yes. You just have to have the music in your iTunes Library. It doesn't matter where it originated.

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

Thanks - I didn't realize that. I'm also embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to transfer the audio files from my iPod to the iTunes library on my computer. When I select a book from the list on the iPod, the only option I see with the right-facing arrow symbol is "Show in iTunes Store ". I back the iPod up to this computer so I guess those files must be on it somewhere, but all I can recognize in the iTunes folder under " Music" are the music files found in the "iTunes Music" folder. (There are also a ton of files named "iTunes Temp (some #).) The Books list on the computer shows some but not all of the audiobooks - I purchased the rest on a different computer that is now unfortunately dead. I'm guessing now that those didn't transfer over when the new computer was populated from the old one, so the iPod may be the only place where those audiobooks now reside. I hope that made some sense- any additional advice would be appreciated.

How can i play music from my external hard drive not purchased in itunes on my iphone

I have all of my music backed up to an external hard drive and have copied it to my new laptop and linked it to my itunes. I can play all the music on itunes but cannot play it on my iphone. The music was mostly uploaded from cd's that are now lost. Help!!!

thank you, I had done all that and I know seem to have sorted the problem by dragging the folder containing the music into the itunes music folder through the side bar.
cheers

I just updated itunes and a LOT of my movies and music disappeared. These are movies and music I owned already and did not purchase from iTunes. How do I find them or do I need to add them all again? Also what happened to the sidebar?

I just updated my iTunes software and have a lot of problems...
1. The sidebar option is gone. I LIKED the sidebar and it was easier for me to navigate that way.
2. Also no lists? I hate the icon way to view it. It makes my eyes go wonky and I have a harder time actually looking for what I want.
3. A LOT of my music and movies have disappeared. These are music and movies I owned that I did NOT purchase from iTunes so I can not re-download them.
How do I find the missing files? Do I have to readd them into iTunes? Is there a way I am not seeing to put thew sidebar back or make the files be viewed in list form? Can I undo this update to put it back the way it was. I hate this update...

See my answere to your post in the Mt. Lion forum.

I have static on song not purchased through itunes? Any help??

I have static only on the song I have not purchased through itunes. All itunes music plays fine? Has anyone else had this problem.

Well, I don't think you are alone. My iTouch is exhibiting a high frequency liek static scratching on imported from CD songs. It's very annoying to be experiencing this kind of issue on such an expensive music player.
Does your issue reside in the high end of the music? If so, please complainas much as possible to Apple. Mine and my wifes are doing the same thing, from two different PC's.

HT1766 Will this backup music on my iphone that was not purchased from itunes?

will it?

No. Any music on your phone that did not come from iTunes MUST have come from your computer. It should still be there.

Itunes no longer has my music in my music library. How do I transfer ALL my music (not just the purchased from Itunes) from my Ipod Touch back to my Itunes library on my computer.

I have the new ipad. I am in the process of trasferring movies that were not purchased thru itunes from my PC to the ipad. My GB ipad allotment is almost used up. How do I get the remaining movies into the cloud or does it only take itunes videos?

I have the new ipad and I'm trying to transfer videos from my PC to the ipad. My GB allotment is almost used up and I want to utilize some of my free cloud storage. How do I do this or does the icloud only take items purchased thru itunes?

iCloud cannot help you - it's not a storage device, but primarily a syncing and backup service. You have to decide which videos to put on your ipad as you cannot add more memory to it.

I can't upload music I have bought from itunes into my music app from itunes - can anyone help

I had an iphone 4 and upgraded to the iphone5 - I am trying to sync my music and for some reason I cannot upload all the music I purchased from itunes - can anyone help here....?
Cheers!

There seems to be a problem with the latest iMovie and purchased iTunes songs. The work around until Apple fixes iMovie is to put the song you need in a playlist, burn them to an Audio CD. Now in iMovie either try adding them directly from the CD, at which point they would be copied into the iMovie project as AIFF files or if that doesn't work (I ca not recall if you can add directly from a CD or not) then reimport the songs from the CD to iTunes (AIFF will work for sure and I have never had issues with music in MP3 format with iMovie projects) then use the reimported version in iMovie.

ITunes is prompting me to update my iTouch (4th Gen.) to iOS 5, but it will erase all media. Is there a way to backup the music on my iTouch that was not purchased via iTunes? How do you back up media, if it is even possible?

I no longer have access to my other music. My computer crashed a month ago, and I did not have my newest music files backed-up anywhere else. I really don't want to lose that music.

I upgraded to version 5 on my IPad Wifi64 and now I can't find my music or podcasts, etc. I don't want or need to upload everything to a cloud. Does anyone know how I get to my music and stuff?
Oh...I can see the music when I connect to my computer. I'm hoping that Apple isn't acting like Microsoft and eliminating features to push people towards something they want...like access to your information...or for you to only have things you buy from them. Hopefully I'm over thinking it and there is simple answer...anyone know the answer?

Can't retrieve music and have to use password everytime I open iTunes library

I bought a new laptop about a year ago and was able to move all my music without a problem.
Now a year later, all my music gets a "can't retrieve file" message, so when I find it and check "try to find the other files in the same location" iTunes freezes every time.
I really don't want to have to move all my music again!
Also, I have to sign in every time I open my library, which is just incredibly annoying!

Hello Cancaillerie,
It sounds like your iTunes Library / files weren't moved to the right location or consolidated. The article below explains how to do this.
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204318
If you are repeatedly being asked for a password in iTunes, you may not have the new computer authorized to play your iTunes purchases.

Copy your music library from the old machine to the new, or from the backup of your old machine to the new.
