Importing songs bought on another site into iTunes

I had bought song from napster and had imported them into iTunes. We got a new computer & due to other complications my library was gone. However, I still have the songs from napster. I tried to import them into my iTunes (my new computer is authorized) but now I am told that they can't be imported & I had to download napster (which I did). Only, the songs will still not import & napster says I have to buy them again. Anyone know what to do?

What format are they in?
What happens when you try?
Have you tried placing a copy in the Automatically add to iTunes folder?

How do I import songs from ipad album app into itunes?

Hello,
I bought an 5 song ep music app by the Chinese musician Cao Fang (曹方) from iTunes app store, and I want to be able to hear the songs in iTunes, not just through using the iPad app. It doesn't show up in the File Sharing section. So is it possible to import the songs? Can I at least 'play' the app on my computer in iTunes, or is it only playable on the iPad itself?
Thanks!

Hi Nick,
I should work just as you imported songs into your iPod. Try opening your iPod in your ITunes. Once you can see your iPod songs just drag them to your library folder or what ever other folder you want them in.
Since your computer crashed are you using another computer? does it have iTunes and iPod software installed? What OS does it run (windows/Mac)?
Good Luck

Do I have to import my songs from my cd's into itunes only? Or can I sync

I just got fifth generationvideo ipod, however I am new to the itunes store etc. Do I have to import my songs from my cd's into itunes only? Or can I sync songs from windows media player off of my cd's?

If you add your Windows Media Player songs to iTunes--the songs will stay in the original place on your computer and you only add a file path. This lets iTunes know where to find the songs. This doesn't take up very much hard disk space. The paths are stored in your iTunes folder (which can be found in your My Documents>My Music folder on your hard drive. You can watch this folder to see how big it gets. When you BUY songs from the iTunes store--then the song file will be stored in your iTunes folder on your hard drive. If you buy a lot of music, this folder could get large.
To add song files or folders, go to the top line of iTunes, click File>Add File OR Add Folder and then navigate to the place on your hard disk where you have your Windows Media Files stored.

I tried to paste text from another site into my Firebox document, but it says "Firefox does not support Copy & Paste". How do I enable clipboard? I never had problems like this on Firefox before...why?

I tried to paste text I copied from another site into my Notepad++ (as I've always done in the past with no problem).
But today for the 1st time, I got a message when I tried to paste the text "Firefox does not support Copy & Paste". What?
What happened to the clipboard?

That's a security feature in Firefox.

Why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing in the cloud?

why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing

If you have content eligible for icloud then you can stream it directly. Of course any local content requires your computer on and running iTunes to be able to see your library.

You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
- Unsyncing all music and resysncing
- Restoring the iPod
BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

Differences between songs bought on iTunes, vs. song bought on other sites?

Can someone please explain to me exactly what are the differences in file types between buying songs on iTunes store vs. other sites. I have been buying songs from various Russian sites, and I wonder will iTunes try to block me from playing those files, because they weren't bought on iTunes? Do the newer updates of iTunes software try to block Russian and other online retailers of mp3 music files from selling to music fans who use iTunes and iPod? Obviously, apple would like a monopoly, but are they actively trying to keep others online retailers from selling songs to iTunes users?

iTunes stores are in protected AAC format, ,m4p, only, that is ALL the store sells. Apple, to the best of my knowledge, does not stop you from purchasing from any other download site. What does stop you is most major download sites also have some type of protection on their files which is not compatible with an iPod. One of the download sites that does sell files that are compatible with an iPod is emusic.com, but since most of their catalog is independent, most people are not interested.
When you say Russian download site. I assume you are talking about allo? If so, you might want to exercise caution using that site as the RIAA has been pursing them both in this country & through the Russian legal system for copyright infringement for quite awhile. There have been several times that the legality of the site has been in question.

Can not import Apps purchased on another machine (Same iTunes Account)

I was in the process of cleaning up my iTunes libraries and coping files between my two Macs and discovered that I can no longer import the .ipa file from one iTunes Library to the other Mac. When I try to import into iTunes, I get the error message saying: "The application could not be added to your iTunes library because it is not a valid application." With previous versions of iTunes, I have been able to copy apps between Macs. Both machines have up to date software and the same iTunes account. Both machines are authorized and work fine independently. Does anybody know of a new method of adding an iPhone/iPad application to your iTunes Library? Thanks.

All purchases should be available. Are you sure they were purchased under the same ID?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You should ALWAYS have a backup copy of your purchases.
When you bought records, you kept the records, just as you should keep the songs you downloaded. If you throw them away with your ipod, then they are gone, just as if you threw away a record with the record player.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
It is 100% your fault if you fail to maintain a backup copy of your music.
You will never be happy with any digital product if you fail to do the basics.

Imported songs but won't play on Itunes

Hi all. I recently bought a new Ipod and imported songs from it to my Itunes. As soon as I had imported them there is an exclamation mark next to each song. When I try to play it Itunes says that the song cannot be found. Anyone know why?
There on my Ipod and working but none work when imported.
If it makes a difference I imported by adding folder to library.
Thanks.
Scott

Are you saying you have music on an external drive and it won't play if the drive is not plugged in?
You are not very clear with your question, but I wonder if you tried to add them to your library on your internal drive. If so take a look at:
Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General
Is "Copy files to Itunes Music folder when adding to library" checked? If not the songs would be left on the external drive.
If this is the case, you could plug in your external drive and then consolidate your library. This will copy ALL files not in your iTunes Music folder into the iTunes Music folder.
If you intentionally keep some of your music outside the iTunes Music folder you may want to think about the implications before using Consolidate.

Imported songs do not appear in library (iTunes 10.0.1)

When I import songs from a CD, the songs are not appearing under Music in iTunes.
The track info is properly displayed for the mounted CD itself and the songs are correctly imported (green checkboxes appear, the MP3 files are placed in the correct folder under "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music", and the MP3 files are playable in Quicktime).
I've tried re-importing the songs in iTunes using the File > Add to Library function, but no luck. This has happened with multiple CDs.
Songs that I have bought through Amazon were successfully imported.
Is this an iTunes 10.0.1 bug? I haven't successfully imported a CD since I upgraded.
Is my library corrupt? Is there a way to rebuild it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Details:
iTunes 10.0.1
Import settings: MP3 encoder, high quality (160kbps), use error correction

It turns out that this is an identified issue. See the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2565869&start=0&tstart=0
(I searched for a thread on this topic before posting, honest!)
For what it's worth, the problem with the two CDs I tried importing before I posted this has magically healed itself and I can now see them in the library. No idea why. I haven't yet tried to import more.

Hey Kevin,
thanks for your reply. I fixed the problem.
I need to download these 3 programs from RED:
RED APPLE WORKFLOW INSTALLER
RED ROCKET-X™ INSTALLER
REDCINE-X PRO
After installing and restarting everything works fine - no other problems with importing the R3D files.
Donwload Link: Downloads - RED Digital Cinema
Hope it also works for the others,
