Itunes freezing on non purchased music

I just started using Itunes through a MacBook as opposed to my old PC. Now on non Itunes Store purchases music, whether in Itunes or on Ipod, it will just stop playing, appearing to freeze then after awhile skip to next song. I am ready to retur MacBook and go back to PC.

Match will look at your music content. If there is an equivalent file in the iTunes Store it will use that. If there isn't then iTunes will upload the track in its original or suitable format.

"Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs."

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 can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

I need to transfer non-purchased music itunes to iphone

In a nutshell. 2005 I bought a PC and copied my entire CD collection to itunes (1000+ songs). I boughjt an ipod in 2006 and copied all the music to the ipod. I've only ever purchased 1 album from itunes store. The PC died. Dead. Gone forever. I boughjt a macbook and soon realized that only the 1 purchased album could be transfered to the new macbook--odd because the PC was dead--yet the one album showed up on the macbook. Oh well, my ipod was fine to listen my collection via my Dennon receiver which has an ipod connector. Years go by. My brother upgrades to the new iphone4 and gives me his old iphone 3GS with 32G (I think).. While trying to figure out if I can transfer my ipod music to my new/used iphone (my brother went to ATT and they set up the iphone with me as the owner) I purchased the App ipod/iphone to Mac and finnally had all my music coped to the Macbook. Now I want to use my iphone to listen to my collection and it seems I can only transfer the 1 purchased album onto the itunes on the iphone. Please, is there an easy way to get all my non-purchased music onto my iphone? Can I tranfer the music via ipod to iphone without using the Macbook?
Thanks for any help, from anyone, from anywhere? It seems that ipod/iphone to Mac app does not go the other way: Mac to iphone (at least the support info doesn't say it can)

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want ot sync, sync.

How do you transfer NON purchased music from iPod Nano to itunes library? I have icloud.

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

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.

Problems with non purchased music on my iPhone?

I'm manually managing music on my iphone, I have 10,000 songs on my itunes but only want 1,000 or so on my iPhone, when i choose songs to put on to my iPhone it appears on my device, but then won't play? This is happening for both non-purchased music and purchased music.
I have never bothered with iCloud before or set it up properly, but when I first upgraded to ios7 and tried to drag music over from my library, looking on my device there was certain songs on my library that I hadn't dragged over appearing on the device, with different artwork?
Is there any way to be able to put music on my iPhone the same way as before in ios7?

If it shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone then you should be able to redownload it from there - does that not work ?

How do I transfer my non purchased music from PC to ipad mini

I'm trying to transfer all my music from my itunes on a PC with Windows XP to my new ipad mini. It will only sync the purchased music. How do I transfer the non purchased music too?

I use 3rd party apps in conjunction with File Sharing (tap to enlarge image)

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.

Can we share non-purchased music?

I have painstakingly downloaded and categorized hundreds of our CD's in iTunes. I have always used an iPod, iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc. Now my husband has a brand new iPhone and he, too, would like to listen to our music. However everything I see about "Family Sharing" is about sharing purchased music. Can we share non-purchased music?

Two Hound Train,
There are 5 ways to share music in a household.
Regular iTunes Sharing
Home Sharing
Family Sharing
Give the person copies of the song files to add to their library
Put all song files on a shared server (NAS)
For non-purchased music, any of these will work except Family Sharing.

How to transfer non purchased music back to iphone

Hi
I recently had to to a system restore on my iphone 3gs as there was a 'bug' apparently during an earlier sync process. I back up to icloud to make things easier which it did.
One problem, all purchased music does get synced over except 93 songs which i assume are music purchased or transferred to my library using other sources. Is there a way for me to transfer all that music and complete my library the way i originally had it prior to restoring my iphone?
bdw, i check selected songs from my library which is about half of them to sync with my phone. So, only have of the checked ones (93 of them) are synced over.
Any help would be grateful, thanks in advance

All your music should still be in iTunes on your computer. Isn't that the case? Simply select it in iTunes for syncing to your iPhone.
If for soome reason the iTunes library is incomplete, you can redownload all your purchases again for free. Sign in to iTunes Store using tthe Apple ID you used to purchase the tracks; select Purchased from the Quick Links section in the right-hand sidebar; redownload.
The title of your post mentiones non-purchased music, but the text body does not. Is that an issue you also have?

Lost all my non purchased music

My old hard drive is no longer working so I have no back-up/ITunes. In trying to get to my ipod_control folder I've lost all my non-purchased music. Not sure how that happened. The non-purchased music is not visible. When looking at the IP Touch settings I see there there is only 58M out of 7G available which leads me to believe that the music is still on the IP Touch. Where do I go from here?
thanks in advance....

Several things: What do you mean by "trying to get to my ipod_control folder"? Are you talking about accessing the file system of the iPhone itself? FWIW, this is a very bad idea and can end up hosing your phone permanently.
There are several utilities out there that will allow you to (try) and extract the music from your phone. Google is your friend on this one. With the exception of purchased media, media sync is one way. Computer>iPhone. There is no sanctioned method of getting other media files off of the iPhone and onto a computer.
As far as another back-up scheme goes, the iPhone is NOT a backup device. You can't back up after the fact. Keeping a backup of the data on your computer, including your iTunes library, is the sane thing to do and basic common sense is to back up your data BEFORE you lose it, not afterward.

Non-purchased music won't go to my iPhone

This problem started two days ago, before that, I have never had this problem. I had a mix of purchased and non-purchased music on my iPhone 5c and two days ago, all of my non-purchased music got deleted. When I went to "On My Device" and clicked on the non-purchased songs, this came up.
I deleted all of the non-purchased songs, re-downloaded some of them, and tried to put them back on again. Midway through doing that, the same thing appeared next to all of the downloaded songs. I don't know what is causing this. I have only had my iPhone for a little over a month and this has never happened until now, all of my songs were playing perfectly fine. Is there any way that I can get my non-purchased songs to stay on my iPhone? When I try to put them back on, they stay on the iPhone for maybe 10 minutes and get deleted. The only music that remains is music that I have purchased from iTunes.

Someone please help!! Nothing is working. I even put the songs in my iTunes Media folder and tried to put them on my iPhone again but it still didn't work. Is there a solution to this problem?

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.
