Music on ipad not in itunes library

My daughter upgraded her ipad to ios7 everything was working fine . I asked her if she does a back up just in case her ipad was reset . She had never done one . I updated her itunes on her mac to 11.1 and then did a backup on her desktop mac . She had 119 songs in itunes music but not on her ipad . I asked if she wanted them on her ipad . She said yes . I did a sync of her music library to her ipad . When complete i looked at her ipad music . It showed 190 songs . the first album had 30 songs she said she never heard of . it showed a cloud next to the album . I went to her music on the desktop in itunes and its not there
Where did the album come from and how do we get rid of it from the ipad . and will it come back every time she syncs or makes a back up
So strange that she now has music on her ipad thats not in her itunes library. Hpe someone can help

If you go to the Music app in your iPad and see albums there, and select one and see cloud symbols on the right this is music previously purchased which is now directly accessible from iCloud and can be played from iCloud without the need to download first.
So it just sounds to me from what you've said that you can see a previously purchased album using the power of iCloud.
I've got no music whatsoever on my iPad, yet if I open the music App and view Albums I can see every album I've purchased and can listen to it or download it if I wish.
Regards,
Steve

Music on Ipod, Not In Itunes Library!

Hi, PLEASE can somebody help me, I am going crazy with this. I recently got a new Vista machine and had to throw my old machine out, I was silly and didn't back up my itunes. So what I am wanting to do is get all the music off my ipod into my itunes LIBRARY, I can see my music on itunes when i plug my ipod in, but can't get it to sync to my itunes library. Any ideas/suggestions would be soooooooooo greatfully recieved. Thank you soo much.

To get the music from the ipod back to the computer it would require a 3rd party program and would suggest you did a search through goggle for ( iLounge) This will have your answer/resolution.
(Note: This is not apple software and can not be supported by apple)
To avoid this in the future.

How burn data CD or DVD with documents/songs not in iTunes Library?

How do I burn data CD/DVD with items not located in iTunes Library? Prior to the update to iTunes 8.0.2, I could burn Data CDs/DVD from my desktop - these were documents files, and audiobooks/songs not located in iTunes Library. Now I can't get the burn preferences window to show up. Something has changed in the iTunes 8.0.2 update which keeps me from burning anything that is not in iTunes library. Please advise. Thank you.

Dear Zevoneer,
As a test, I created a New Burn Folder on the desktop, transferred aliases for music and documents not in iTunes Library, totaling about 2.5GB. I burned all on to a 4.7 GB DVD-R. Everything burned properly and quickly as usual. And each item is an accurate replica of my files.
Perhaps I was wrong in thinking that a few months ago when I burned non-iTunes Library items, I always got a Burn Preferences Window on my desktop. No matter, it all went well. And I also learned that we now burn songs in iTunes only via the playlist window, where "Burn" brings on the Burn preferences choices.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Generosa

My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
For instance - if you want to sync music....
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

How to limit the music downloaded from a large iTunes library loading on iPad to minimize space usage?

I'm having trouble with my iPad 2 iTunes Match loading all of the music from my very large iTunes library off my Pc to my iPad. I really only want a few playlists. Do I have to delete all of the music off my iPad that I don't want? Will it remove those songs from my main library if I'm connected to iCloud and music match? Help!

Move the itunes Library.itl file to your exHD.
Then to get itunes to start using it from that new location, press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes. Choose "use existing library" and browse out to the ITL file that is now on the exHD.
Future app downloads will go to the Mobile Applications folder created there. It will also start downloading the itunes store artwork to the exHD.
You can try downloading a free app to test it.

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

When I play a song from the cloud on my iPad, is the song actually saved to the device or is it streaming it from the cloud? If saved, how do I clear the songs to not exceed the storage on my iPad since the iTunes library is way bigger?

When I play a song from the cloud in iTunes Match on my iPad, iis the track actually downloaded to the iPad, or is it streaming? If downloading, wouldn't the tracks eventually exceed my storage capacity on the iPad since my iTunes library is way bigger? Do i need to delets songs off the iPad eventually?

It is downloaded, and yes it takes up space and can eventually fill up your iPad. It's supposed to delete older tracks as the music app plays new ones and space gets low, but other apps won't delete songs and free up the space. So if you were going to say use the camera app and it was full of music you would have to delete songs manually.

ITunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library.

Our PC running Vista froze up so we upgraded to Windows 7. iTunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library. How do I access my music?

Use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the folder(s) where the music is.

HT4914 If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library?

If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library? I have over 100 playlists and even more music not in playlists and I don't want to download all of it to my phone.
Thanks

First read this: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup
So, before you sell your Mac make sure all your personal data is backed up to an external HDD then put that HDD in a safe place. When you return you will be able to use it to restore your data to the new Mac.
Before you sell your computer you must restore the original version OS X that was installed on it when you bought it. See this Apple KB article for how to prepare your Mac for sale: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5189.

I have an iPod nano 1st gen. my system operative is windows vista . I just want to transfer all the music of my iPod to iTunes library like I was able to do it in the past I don't know what have change?

Thank you deggie to answer me . You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes . Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

I'm trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library - but I get an error message saying I Tunes Library full. What can I do?

I have an Ipad 2. I am trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library, but I get an error message - saying the itunes library is full. How can that be? I've deleted lots from the library to see if that would help - but it still states I am about 25gb short. Can anyone help what to do?

Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

Want to use copy of music folder as original for itunes library

Had my iTunes music folder located on an external hd 1 that recently failed. Had recently made a copy of that music folder on a separate external hd 2. My question is can i plug in my external hd 2 with that music folder copy, open iTunes, and when it asks for the location of the music folder can i just point it to the external hd 2 music folder and have the iTunes library use that location instead? Will it keep all my same playlists, album covers, library ect. all the way it was before but just grab the music from a different location? Want to know before i try it and mess up the library I've got going on. I've done a lot of work installing album covers I couldn't find and lots of ratings that I don't want to loose. Thanks for any help in this situation.

don't want to ruin any future options if i don't have to.
Then the first thing you should do is to backup your iTunes folder (i.e. all the components except the iTunes Music folder, which you should also back up at some point in case history repeats itself).
The worst thing that could happen is that the links between the iTunes Library file and the copied music folder are broken so you would see ! against all your tracks. If that happens you could try pointing towards the copied music folder using the iTunes Preferences. Hopefully that won't happen - if the file path names that are in the iTunes Library file are actually there in reality (even though the physical drive is actually different), then iTunes may not even 'know' that anything has changed.
The fact is, your Library still exists and was not corrupted by the crash. Your music still exists as you had a backup copy. It's just a matter of marrying the two together. If what I suggested doesn't work there are other things we could try.

How to get music from someone else's itunes library onto your

I have a different problem, perhaps someone can help.
My friends music library is on a hard drive, I can move songs to my library, they play fine on my computer.....However, when I try to move them to my i-phone, they turn to a light grey color and will not play on my phone. They also have a circle with dots in front of the song.
Some security limitation apparently, just trying to over-ride.
Song format is .m4a

How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating

how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie or TV show on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying)
