HT1766 Can it restore iTunes that I transferred from CD(not purchased from iTunes)?

Most of my music are from cd I transferred, which are not in my pc anymore.
Will back up save those too?

they will not back up. itunes backups do not contain music of any kind because the music is already on the computer. The only way they would've been backed up is if you made a backup of the music file itself on your computer

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

  • HT4528 After my last sync my iTunes no longer plays any music not purchased in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    I did the latest update and synched my iPhone 5C, after the sync all music that was not purchased through iTunes will not play on my phone. I figured out how to "homeshare" those songs but they aren't really on my phone so once wifi is off I no longer have them. Any suggestions? Most of these song were off of cds. I don't want to purchase them all again through iTunes what a waste of money. I'm feeling super annoyed.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi there dryval76!
    There are a couple of reasons for seeing an issue such as that. I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot and find out the source of the issue. The first is an article about troubleshooting issues with playing songs in iTunes, and it can be found here:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble playing music or other audio
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12135
    If the issue is happening in all areas of your computer, not just iTunes, then you will want to reference this article:

  • 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.

  • Can i transfer the entire contents of one ipod to another.  Songs were imported from CD not purchased at itunes store

    Can I transfer the contents of one pod to another.  The songs were imported from CD's; they were not purchased at the itunes store.  Basically I am asking if I can transfer to a new ipod.

    Thanks.  Not all the songs on my old ipod are on my computer at home.  But I'll transfer what I can from my home computer; and then bring the new ipod into work and transfer the rest of the music.  So simple I should have thought of it!

  • 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.

  • Can i restore my iPhone to a previous backup not listed in iTunes but is in my mobile sync folder?

    my backup/restore went wrong yesterday and a second backup was taken but that was only half of the info on my iphone. Can i use a previous backup or does itunes overide them to the newest version. I have read that the mobilesync folder in Library stores previous backups which i have found but i dont know what to do with the file now. Any help??? I really need my notes and previous sms messages that arent on the most recent backup but on the previous one

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

  • How do I get music that is in my Itunes folder, i.e. my own music that was not purchased from the Itunes store, on to my ipod?

    How do i get music that i have put into my itunes folder, i.e. it was not purchased in itunes but from another source, onto my ipod?
    I have looked at a number of different discussions and none have given me the solution. 
    I have recently had to do a restore and all the music that was once on the device was wiped.

    Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

  • Can I transfer old library from PC iTunes to Mac iTunes? Old library is not purchased form iTunes.

    Can I transfer my old library of music files from PC iTunes to Mac iTunes? The old library is not purchased from iTunes, just songs imported over the years before I had access to iTunes.

  • HT1766 If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure.  I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
    Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

  • Can I transfer music that is only on my iPad that WAS NOT purchased from iTunes to my iTunes account on new computer?

    I've had my iPad 2 for about four years now and I can tell that the interface is being very slow and that the screen does not always react when I tap on it, meaning I may have to get a new one sooner or later.
    My biggest problem is that on my iPad, I have all of the Beatles' CDs, some of which are from my own personal copies and some are from my former local public library. Ever Since I copied all these CDs onto my iPad, I've moved to a new state and got a new laptop, thus starting with an iTunes account that only has music I purchased from the iTunes Store on it, and no Beatles. The local libraries where I live now do not offer any CDs for borrowing, so I have no way of getting some of the CDs I don't own for free. I really do not want to purchase a bunch of albums from iTunes, as well.
    Is there any way to get the Beatles music that is only on my iPad that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iTunes account without removing it from my iPad? Thanks for your help!

    Same problem, I have a season pass for Mad Men and suddenly cannot download, says iTunes is temporarily unavailable. Problem occurred before I updated to the new iTunes and afterwards, on two different computers. Here is what Apple had to say:
