Hello I am new at this my husband got me this Ipod Shuffle for Christmas and my question is. Can I add music I already have saved on my PC and put it into my ipod?
Thx Jamama1

Yup - just put the iTunes on your computer and you can put your old stuff in your iTunes library. I don't recall doing anything to put the old music onto iTunes. I did the installation - and all of a sudden my comuter opened the iTunes and my old stuff was there in the library.

If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
Good luck.

I have completed a keynote presentation with music already. How do I record the slideshow so I can burn it to a DVD disc. I have tried to export it as a Quicktime file but the transitions have been slow that the music finishes first.

How do I record a keynote slideshow with an attached music already? I trid to export it through Quicktime but the final result is different from the original keynote presentation. What I mean is that the slide transitions are slow that the musci finishes first before the slide presentation.

How do I get music already on my laptop into my itunes account library? I have just done the icloud match thinking this would pick them all up, but it hasn't, all it has done is match the 40 songs I already have in my itunes library. I wanted to get some more music onto my iphone and I am stuck. If someone could assist, that would be great. Thanks. Sue

How can I transfer new music from a different iTunes onto my iPod without erasing the music already on it?

I have music on my iPhone and iPod nano from my old computer back home, and am now at college 2 hours away with my new laptop and a different repertoire. Just to be safe I tried syncing my old iPod nano with my new iTunes and rather than adding the music to my iPod it replaced all the music already on it. Is there some way I can stop this from happening with my iPod nano and my iPhone, or am I just going to have to copy everything onto CD's and do things the hard way? If anybody can help me they'll have my undying gratitude.
Much appreciated,
Demitra

A family member gave our kids their old iphone with music already loaded for them. How do we add the music to our library? It won't transfer purchases from the phone and if I sync it, the music is erased. Can someone walk me through this?

No one here will help you violate iTunes terms of service or steal music.

Adding music to my iPhone from a new computer? Is it possible to do so without erasing music already copied?

I have an iPhone 5c. I originally set it up on my computer at home and copied my music over using iTunes.
I am now away on a trip for a few weeks with work and have a work laptop. I have downloaded iTunes and authorized the laptop. I have some music I want to add it to my iPhone however when I try and manually move the music to the iPhone icon in iTunes I get a little red "no entry" symbol show up.
I understand I can select "manually manage music and videos" however when I click this it wants me to delete all my music and videos and only sync the music already wthin iTunes on this laptop. Obviously this means I will lose all the music currently on my iPhone and only copy the recently downloaded music to it.
1) Is it possible to copy the new music without it deleting my previous music in my iPhone? I don't want to lose my original 50 albums just so I can add another 3!
2) Will syncing it also delete my apps and save game data etc? Or will it only affect my music and videos?
3) Is the "manually manage music and videos" a iPhone option or a iTunes option? I am almost certain I set it originally on my PC so the fact it is now unticked confuses me.
Thanking you in anticipation...

The aim is prevent casual copying so you can't go around to a friend's house and simply copy all of the media from your device onto your friend's computer, or vice versa.
There are tools in the user tip that can recover all of the non-iTunes-purchased media, however the process is really a last restort for when the original library has been lost or damaged and there is no backup.
I believe it is only the media that is at risk, provided you backup the device and transfer apps, but I could be wrong.
FWIW you can, and should, backup your library on a regular basis. If your library is in a portable form you can backup to a portable drive that you can then take with you and manage the device from any other computer running the same build of iTunes.
1) Is it possible to copy the new music without it deleting my previous music in my iPhone? I don't want to lose my original 50 albums just so I can add another 3!
Not when using a different library than was used to put the first 50 there.
2) Will syncing it also delete my apps and save game data etc? Or will it only affect my music and videos?
Uncertain. If you backup the device and transfer purchases then the apps and saved should be safe, and could be restored if needed.
3) Is the "manually manage music and videos" a iPhone option or a iTunes option? I am almost certain I set it originally on my PC so the fact it is now unticked confuses me
iPhones may only be manually managed with a single library. Other devices can be manually managed from multiple libraries. I have no idea why this arbitrary restriction is there, but there is a workaround as given above. You can clone your library to another drive or computer and it will work fine.

Is there a way to automatically import artwork for music already in librar?

Is there a way to automatically import artwork for music already in library?
I just transferred all my music from a PC into my new mac.
I saw a widget that fetches the album artwork from the web. great fun!!!
Now is there a way to fetch all these artworks automatically.
I did not use istore to buy the music - but imported from my cd collection.
Thanks.
What a great system - simple and no hassles. Thanks Apple. Goodbye PC.

If you are using AlbumArt widget you can do this with the widget interface.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

See this post.

ITunes Store no longer remembering apps/music already downloaded

Hi,
i've got the latest iTunes, and it occurs to me a phenomenon that itunes store previously remembers and indicate the status of apps/music already purchased.
to make myself clearer, for example i have already downloaded Whatsapp a long time ago, but now if i go to the App Store, it used to display as "purchased" or "downloaded" just beside the app icon.
Now it no longer does, applied to hundreds of apps and hundreds of songs.
Is it a bug ?

Make sure that you selected the correct iTMS country when trying to logging into your account.

Sanmannyer, just what are you smoking? iTunes can sync non-iTunes purchased music to any iPod and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) as long as it is not DRM protected.
Would y plase stop posting incorrect information.

I've just purchased a new iPod and I;m told to uninstall and reinstall iTunes so the new nano can be recognized. What will happeen to the 27GB of music already in my Itunes library?

Nothing, but I would back up all that music to an external drive first.

If I have 3 family memebers sharing the same account, can we create sub accounts to seperate their log in and they have access to music already purchased?

There is no such thing as "sub-accounts".
Multiple Apple ID's can be used on a single device.
Created unique Apple ID's for each user and use those Apple ID's on the appropriate devices from iCloud and iMessage. This will not affect the media on the device.
