Itunes not letting me sync music which I've downloaded from CDs. Only taking music purchased on iTunes. WHAT IS GOING ON? Help

iTunes is not syncing new music from CDs that I've downloaded only syncs music purchased from iTunes. Is this on purpose? Or another flaw with updates? Anyone have suggestions or fixes?

I'm having the exact same problem, a total pain in the a$$. I tried restarting my computer and my iPhone to no avail. I have a MacBook pro and iPhone 4S and both are totally up to date software-wise. I would really like to listen to my music though.....

  • HT1451 I used to be able to sync all songs that I downloaded from CDs to my iPad. Now I can only get the songs that were purchased from iTunes.  Can someone tell me why?

    I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed?  Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?

    Hi Cricketdaw,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.

  • HT1386 My I phone used to play music that I had downloaded from Cds to my computer, but since the last update,my phone only plays songs that I bought on itunes.  It still shows I have all my old music but won't play any of it.  What's going on?

    Ok, so I synched my iphone 4 to my computer recently and now when I go to play music on my phone, only the songs I've bought on Itunes play.  I put all of my music collection that is in CD form on my computer and it used to play on my phone too, but now it just skips those songs.  They still play on my computer though.  I've been trying to figure out what the problem is for over three days or so and am about to loose my friggin mind! Can anyone help me? 

    De-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

    I had the same issue.  I closed iTunes, restarted the computer and then tried again. This time it would sync.  Another thing I tried was switching USB ports I was connecting through.

  • What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • ITunes will not let me sync my iPad 2...

    iTunes will not let me sync my 8 month old, previously synced iPad 2.  It is no longer recognized over Wi-Fi and when i plug it in via USB I am given the 'Set Up Your iPad' screen.  I have tried restoring from a backup, and that successfully restores my iPad but iTunes still will not recognize this.  My only options remain 'setup as a new iPad' or 'Restore from the backup...'
    Any ideas what I should do?  I have tried both soft and hard reboots, closed/reopened itunes, rebooted my MacBook...nothing has worked.  Should I suck it up and try resetting to the factory settings?  Or does this sound more like an issue with the iPad?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated - Thanks

    ISSURE RESOLVED - there was an interupted/corrupt backup of this device that had to be deleted.  After deleting this backup file, iPad was recognized without issue...only wish is hadnt tried 'restoring from backup' first since my settings were reverted to that previous date once issue was resolved.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    Buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update twice.

    You cannot sync it with a library that no longer exists,
    Transfer purchases then sync it with this new library.

    Otherwise provide informat at to what happens when yuo try to sync. Errot messages?

  • How do I sync/import/transfer music that wasn't downloaded from itunes from my iphone to my itunes??

    I recently purchased a new laptop. I redownloaded itunes and synced my phone to my new laptop. The only issue I'm having is my music. All the songs I have purchased on the iphone transfered just fine but I have songs that was not downloaded through itunes. Some were burned from cds (burned cds, etc.), some were transfered from other music players I had and others were downloaded from a different music provider. (All this was done on my old computer.) I'm afraid that if I sync my phone that i'll lose 75% of my music on my iphone. I can sync it just fine but I keep Sync Music unchecked because I get an error box saying that the phone will be erased and replaced w/the playlists backed up. Is there any way I can get ALL my music on my itunes w/o losing anything?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    The only way you can do is to get a third part software to extract those music from your device over to your PC.
    A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

    By design the iPad will only Sync with one iTunes at a Time, so what you are experiencing is expected behavior.

  • Windows 7 will not let me update the driver for my iphone 4s so I can see it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Windows 7 will not let me update the driver for my iphone 4s so I can see it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    You turned off all firewall and antivirus ? You could try downloading the update via a browser - what device are your trying to download the update for ? If it's an iPhone 4 :
    GSM / sim card model
    CDMA model
    Then in iTunes press and hold the shift key on Windows when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file
