I cannot get non-purchased music (from CDs) from iTunes on my desktop to my iPad

Trying to get music from CDs that I have in iTunes on my desktop computer to my iPad. When I sync it only copies purchased songs.

  • How to get non-purchased music to apple tv?

    I have a lot of songs that I have downloaded to itunes from CD's.  I recently downloaded the app to my iphone to play Apple TV but when I go into ATV only my itunes purchased songs show up.  How do I fix this?

    Ok, let me see if I can help clear up some of the mystery behind both iTunes and AirPlay.
    Let's start with iTunes. iTunes is comprised of basically three parts: 1) The host application or front-end, 2) The iTunes Library, & 3) The iTunes Media Folder. By default, all three components reside on either a Mac or PC. However, each can be located on a separate hard drive on the same computer, on separate hard drives on different computers/servers, or across different network drives.
    You can bring songs into iTunes in a number of ways: 1) iTunes Store, or 2) Via audio files. The former is over the Internet. The latter can be from CDs or other audio files stored on hard drives. No matter what the source is the music files are placed in the iTunes Media Folder and pointers to these files are stored in the iTunes Library. So, in your case, you either used the iTunes front-end to import the CD audio files directly into the iTunes Media Folder or used another means to copy the CD's audio files to an external hard drive ... and then, imported them into iTunes. Regardless of which technique you used, iTunes would need access to both the Library and the Media Folder in order to play any of these files. Again, typically, you would do this using the iTunes app on either a Mac or PC.
    The remote app, on the other hand, just allows you to use iOS device to control iTunes running on a computer.
    For streaming we need to add AirPlay to the equation. AirPlay is a streaming protocol that runs on top of TCP/IP. AirPlay requires three things: 1) An iTunes server, 2) a wired or wireless network connection, & 3) an AirPlay "speaker." In this case the server is the iTunes application and the speaker is your Apple TV.
    You can stream iTunes audio from a computer or an iOS device. However, each does it differently, specifically where the source audio comes from. For a computer, that will be the iTunes Media Folder. For an iOS device, that would be either audio files on the device or from iCloud. So if you don't have an iCloud account, you won't be able to use iTunes Match for streaming. Note: However, you could use other Internet sources, like Pandora, instead.
    When using the Remote app, the source is the same as the computer. That is, your computer must be on with iTunes running to stream to the Apple TV that is being controlled by the Remote app on an iOS device.
    Does any of this make sense?

  • I cannot sync non purchased music

    Hi i have recently added my iphone 5 onto my existing itunes library, it has synced my music to it however it has only synced the tracks what are down as purchased, it will not transfer songs that i have ripped from cd's.
    Can anyone help me please

    Hello clem1988,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like you are seeing just your purchased music, which is visible from iTunes in the Cloud (there is a cloud icon next to the items that stream and are not actually on your device). 
    When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked.  From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:" 
    I recommend reviewing the full article here:

  • Cannot sync non-purchased music from itunes to iphone

    I can't sync/transfer/put any music on my phone that wasn't purchased from itunes ever since I last updated itunes (much regret). I imported the music to my library, synced, nothing was added. I checked "sync only checked songs and videos" yes the songs i want to sync are checked, synced, nothing was added. Made sure that "sync music" under the music tab was checked, synced, nothing added. This is really frustrating me.

    I have the reverse problem. My computer crashed with the new Mavericks update and it had to be completely wiped. I fortunately have my entire library on my iPhone (including 1000s of non apple purchases), but I am on thin ice to preserve this library without being able to transfer everything back to my computer.

  • How do I get non-purchased music from iTunes onto my iPod?

    I have this song that I created by mixing pieces and parts of other songs in Audacity. I made it into an iTunes compatible file and it is now in my library. When I checked it to be synced to my sister's iPod nano, it worked just fine. But now when I try to sync it to my iPod touch 4S, it's nowhere to be found. Even though when I downloaded the app Remote for home sharing it told me it was on the device, I have yet to see it anywhere. I even searched for it in the spotlight thing and it's definitely not on the iPod. I really need to get it on there for a school project.

    Remote shows the library on your share computer.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    Try sync again.

  • Just got itunes on my computer.cannot get previously purchased music

    Just installed itunes onto my new computer. tried to download music that i had on an old computer that had quite an old version of itunes. but i have no record of it on my new computer. tried going into ''purchased'' in itunes store and tried authorizing the new computer but nothing is working. not sure what to do now. can anybody help?

    Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether you've changed countries since buying it and if it's still in your country's store). Does music show as a category via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage ? If not then you will need to copy your music from your old computer or from your backup of your library/downloads

    Hey CrystalKean,
    Thanks for the question. If you have purchased content on your iPhone that has not yet been transferred to your computer, see the following article:

  • 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 get all my music to transfer from an old pod to a new ipot touch?  Shouldn't this be automatic when i login to itunes?

    To transfer non-iTunes purchased music from an iPod to a computer requires use of a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • Can anyone help me with process of moving only my pics and music (purchased and imported cds) from a old G5 to a new iMac. Thanks Dan

    Can anyone help me with process of moving only my pics and music (purchased and imported cds) from a old G5 to a new iMac. Thanks Dan

    The easiest way is to connect the G5 and your new iMac together via Firewire.  Then you can use what is called "Target Disk Mode" which basically makes the G5 look like an external hard drive to your iMac.  The potential gotcha is if your new iMac does not have a Firewire port.  In that case, you need to get the Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter in order to connect the two machines (as far as I know, all G5's had one or more Firewire ports).  I have done this many times, it's easy and works perfectly.
    Alternatively, you could connect both Macs to the same network and log into the G5 from your iMac.  This involves going into System Preferences > Sharing on the G5 and turning on File Sharing and then logging in from your iMac to the G5 as if it were a server.   (Logging in through the Finder or via Go > Connect to Server).  This also works fine but it's a little more involved than using Target Disk Mode.  I do this all the time and it too works fine.
    Either way, once the two Macs are connected, you will use the Finder on your iMac to copy files/folders from your G5 the same as you would from any external hard drive.  Regarding iTunes, you could just copy your entire iTunes library over to your iMac being careful to put it in the same relative folder location:   /users/yourusername/Music/iTunes   This method will preserve your playlists and album art.  Alternatively you could go into iTunes and do Add to Library but I'm not completely sure doing it that way will bring over your album art and it certainly won't bring over your playlists.
    I see no reason to use a separate external hard drive.  It will just double the time it takes to transfer your files because you would first have to copy everything to the hard drive, then in a second step copy everything from the hard drive to your iMac.
    Note:  In all cases there is the possibility that you may need to change file & folder permissions on the things you copy over so you can access (read & write) to these folders & files once copied to your new iMac.  This is not a difficult process.

  • TS3297 iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.

    iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.  Anyboy else get this looping error?

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • 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.
