Moving music from other websites to iTunes...

I would like to import music from the American Idol website to iTunes, and to the library to move to my iPod. I have done this in the years past, but have forgotten how to do it. Could someone please help me?
Thanks for any help I can get.

Two ways depending on your setup,
If iTunes is your default internet audio player the file will be downloaded into iTunes automatically from the website.
(Look at Edit-Preferences-advanced and click the SET button beside Use iTUnes for internet music playback)
However if you just want to download the file to another location and import it into iTunes.
Download file
In itunes select file - add to library and navigate to your downloaded file
You can also drag and drop the file into itunes library window
Hope this helps

Transferring music from other programs to itunes

how do you transfer music from windows media player to itunes??

heya!
I believe there that WMP files are compatible with itunes. i know that when i first loaded itunes on to my laptop, it asked if i wanted it to search for all the music on my computer. i clicked yes and it found all of my WMP files and converted them into AAC format.
also, you can click and drag your WMP files into itunes and it should automatically change their format.
hope this helps

Moving music from my iPod to Itunes...

I recently downloaded Yamipod because my computer crashed, leaving me no songs in iTunes 7.0, but 3783 songs on my iPod. I want to move these songs from my iPod to my iTunes, whenever I plug my iPod into the computer, iTunes automatically opens and asks me if I want to replace the songs on my iPod with the songs in my library, which is zero. I hit cancel because I want all of the songs off of my ipod to be put into my iTunes and iTunes then displayed the message Updating iPod. Thinking that iTunes was erasing my library, I disconnected the iPod, fearing that for some reason my songs will be removed from my iPod. None of the songs were harmed and the iPod still works fine, but I want the songs on my computer. How can I keep iTunes from recognizing my iPod? Is there a program that does this task better? (I would be willing to pay for some software if it is ensured to move my music flawlessly.)

Connect your iPod and when you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also if you are using Yamipod your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

Moving Music to other computer on Itunes.

I am buying my son a 13" Macbook and I have all his music and my music on my Itunes on my computer. I am trying to find out how he can move his music over from my computer to his laptop.
I would be very greatful for any informations about this,
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

If both computers have a firewire port, you can do the following. If so then start your computer in Target Disk mode and copy over your entire music library to your new MacBook's music library.

Move all of your music on the new mac to a different directory to be safe.
Connect the computers via firewire and start up the old computer in Target Disk mode.
Copy over your entire library from the old mac to the new mac into the Music folder (unless you changed the default location of you music files). Make sure you copy over the iTunes library file (xml file)too. In iTunes you may have to select the library file for it to recognize the file structure.
There is also a migration manager assistant which moves your files from one mac to another - but I have never used it. It may copy over all of your files from one mac to the other.
hope this helps

Moving music from Real Player to ITunes

All my music is in Real Player. I just got my first IPOD and now I need all those songs to be in the ITUNES program. Is there a way to move it without downloading each CD all over again?

There are converter programs available. The problem is that RA is a lossy compression so converting them to something else will only lose more information resulting in even lower sound quality.

I have was moving music from iTunes to a CD, however, when attempting to move a second set of music a error message stating "this is not a blank CD". How can more music be copied to this CD, which has more than sufficient space to be copied to?

Trouble moving music from my iTunes to my iPhone.

I downloaded the new iTunes software very recently, but now I seem to be having trouble moving music from my iTunes library onto my iPhone. If I click and drag the track to the iPhone icon, the icon is completely unresponsive. If I right-click the track and hit "Add to iPhone" nothing happens either. My iPhone is synced to my laptop and 'Trusts' it, so I don't understand why I'm not getting any response from my phone when I try to move music into it.
This is especially frustrating as when I tried to download the new software for my iPhone it suddenly and inexplicably went into recovery mode, and though I recovered the phone's data from backup all my music has been deleted from my phone and I can't get it back.
Am I doing something wrong that I'm unaware of, or is there a problem with the software? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated.

What is the best way to transfer apps, contacts, et cetera from one iPhone (3G) and computer (2006 MacBook) to a new iPhone (4S) and computer (early 2011 MacBook Pro)? I have already moved music, among other things using Migration Assistant.

Is it possible to download a book in Ibooks format from other websites to your itunes account on the PC?

I am currently writing a manual in Ibooks author for my company that is going on the company web server; the server requires a common access card to access the server. Because of this downloading the Ibook directly to an Ipad isn’t an option.
The work around I was thinking of using is logging on a pc with your common access card that has an itunes account, downloading it to the pc and then syncing it via the cable to the IPAD. is this possible?
I have read under the FAQ section, “Can I download books from other websites?” the answer says you can download ePub and PDF files on your Mac or PC, but doesn’t mention the Ibook format?
When I was on Itunes I noticed you could download books to your PC in the Ibooks format. But it doesn’t mention anything from another server.

Yes, you can use another server for .ibooks format. You can also directly email it if your system can take the size.

Question about moving music from an iPod to your computer.

In my household, we have iTunes on three different computers. My mother downloaded music on my brother's computer, and it's on his library. We want to burn a cd with the purchased album, but his computer does not have a cd burner, but the other two do. Is there a way to move music from one computer to another, or possibly moving music from an iPod to a computer's library?

I am having problems moving music from my computer to my IPhone.

I am having problems moving music from my library to my IPhone. I have everything marked properly and it still won't move to my phone. Any suggestions?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Hello there, gleab.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews the ways to import content into iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Also keep in mind which formats can be added:
You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
