My imported music has disapeared, only my purchased music is showing

Recently only my purchased music is showing in my itunes library, I don't know where all my imported music from my cds has gone?    It is showing icloud, but I dont know how to turn icloud off.  please help!

Have you looked at the settings in iTunes.  Is music syncing manual or automatic.  More info please.  I would try removing all restrictions as an initial test.

    Hey Unctarheel2u,
    I'd go through the directions in the following article, which provides steps to help you find missing media in iTunes:

  • HT1296 Can i sync my ip4s on to a new pc and not lose music that was not purchased but imported from cd or will it only sync purchased music?

    can i sync my iphone to a new pc without losing music that was not purchased but imported from cd? or will it only sync purchased music? thanks x

    If you're trying to sync your iphone to a different computer than the one that you used to import your CD's, you can't (anymore).  Now that Apple is selling iTunes Match ($25/yr) you can only access non-iTunes-purchased songs if they are either:
    A) on the exact computer that you used to import them into iTunes
    or
    B) are already synced to your iphone
    Now that iTunes Match exists, if you want to move non-iTunes-purchased music that you imported on one computer...to a different computer, you have to buy iTunes Match.  Awesome, huh?

  • HT203433 I do not have access to my purchased audio books suddenly only my purchased music. Why?

    I do not have access to my purchased audio books suddenly only my purchased music. Why?

    That's not the issue iCloud was not a option and backing up previous purchased audio books was not a problem but now it is. One download or more like one year etc...? Otherwise its back to the dark ages. Perhaps but then why has support not responding if its this simple? iCloud now gives another money grab opportunity light. Oh I'm sure a notice was posted by iTune and now my purchases have lapsed. It's only money what I don't agree with is the terms changing wasting my time and not responding. I've asked the questions, done the requirements but iCloud is a mess for if not managed daily. They change terms and environments as they please. Hey it's in the fine Print buyer beware.

  • Why wont my entire music library sync onto iTunes on my MacBook Pro? Why will only my purchased music from iTunes sync?

    Background Info
    I recently took my MacBook Pro 2011 to the Genius Bar because I was having issues with the logic board. Unfortunately the computer would freeze, emit three continuous beeps and basically render it useless every time I turned it on. Thus I was unable to do a more recent back up before taking it into the store.  The first time I took it in, they said that the RAM and the logic board looked fine after running system diagnostics. They held onto it for about a week and when I got it back they had said that it was simply an operating system issue and that they had wiped it and reinstalled Mavericks instead of Yosemite which I had been running previous to my issues. However as soon as I took it home, the issues persisted and so I returned to the Genius Bar in hopes that they would see that the logic board was having issues. This time they sent it off to Texas to have all of the faulty parts replaced for a flat rate which included my logic board and optical drive. When I picked it up the lady at the Genius Bar said, "Good news, we didn't have to touch any of your files so they should all be on the MacBook."  Alas they had already been wiped in an attempt to fix my laptop that failed. So all of my music from CD's as well as mp3 downloads of recordings done by boyfriend and other small artists not purchased from iTunes are gone.
    Issue at Hand
    I just got my MacBook Pro 2011 back after having it wiped by the folks at the Genius Bar. With only an old back up from 2 or 3 months ago on my external hard drive, I don't have a lot of my more recently downloaded music saved anywhere. All of my iTunes purchased are easily retrievable from iCloud and what not but mp3 downloads of personal recordings done by boyfriend and other small local bands, mp3's purchased on Amazon, mp3's purchased from Bandcamp, free mp3's from Soundcloud artists, etc. will not sync over to my MacBook. All of these songs are still on my iPhone 6 thank goodness but I would very much like to sync them over to my MacBook. If anyone knows how I can overcome this, please let me know. Thank you very much.

    Basically anything not purchased from iTunes that is on my iPhone 6 will not sync over to my MacBook. I have tried to just manually back it up but only the purchased music will sync over to iTunes.

  • I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!

  • I've just bought a new laptop. It is only syncing purchased music

    I've just bought a new laptop. It is only syncing purchased music. I have loads of music on my iphone, what can I do to get it synced and saved onto my new laptop?
    Thanks!

    If you did not backup your iTunes library on your old computer and transfer it to your new computer, see if this helps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

  • Even though I had synced numerous times, those tracks are not in my library. Only the purchased music.

    My new ipad2 doesn't show any of the music I had previously burned from all my CDs. Even thorough I had synced numerous times, those tracks are not in my library. Only the purchased music.

    The tracks are not in your iTunes library?
    Or they are in the library but will not sync to the iPad?
    Select the iPad in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab at top.
    Tick Sync music and make sure Sync all is selected or if Sync selected is selected, make sure you tick what you want to sync.
    FYI: Burn means to create a CD (because you burn with the laser). RIP means to get off an audioCD onto the computer.

  • Hi, I have just got an ipod touch, I had an ipod classic for years, I have tried to put my itunes onto my ipod touch but only my purchased music is going onto it, how do I get my library onto it without using sharing?

    Hi I have just got an ipod touch, I have had a classic for years with no trouble.  I have tried to download my itunes library to my touch but only my purchased music transfers.  How do I transfer all my music without the home sharing as this at the moment seems to be the only way to see all of my library?

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

  • I cant access any of the content that was in my music library that was set up on my old destroyed laptop. so Home Share cant be used.  Is there a way to pull all of the music content, not just iTune purchased music from my 4th Gen Nano back into iTuunes?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one - way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.

  • Can only see "purchased" music in iTunes

    The rest of my music collection is visible on my iPod, but I can only access "purchased" from my laptop.  So, when I search for a song in my library, it fails to appear unless I have bought the song from Apple.  What happened to the music I imported?

    Are you in the USA?  Currently you can only re-download movies in the USA and not even all of those (studio dependent).
    Before deleting duplicates I would make sure it isn't just two links pointing to the same file.  If it is, delete the link but not the file (especially if you cannot download it again).  In general you need to exercise caution when dealing with duplicates because some are not really.

  • We have an Apple id that has a bunch of purchased music on it, but our children have changed the account details and the password, and the secret questions and now we can't remember any of that information, even our birthdays are not correct. HELP???

    we have an apple ID that was set up in my wife's name. The kids have changed the account details and no-one can remember the password. They have also changed the account data and none of our birthdays are recognised by apple. We have no way of re-setting the account. The secondary email address we used when setting up the account is no longer accessible so even this option doesnt work..
    What can we do as we have a large amount of purchased music on this account???

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • : ...( HELP!!!! Is there a way or a program to scan & Find only iTunes purchased music on hard drive?

    My Brother Committed Suicide 2 years ago, I was given his pc with his purchased iTunes music, however his pc was pretty much dead, I was able to retrieve the music but stupidly I mixed it with all the mp3's and aac music already on my hard drive.. Is there a a program that can search my hard drive and only retrieve or find the music in my pc that is iTunes purchased? I just find it hard to lose the 200+ gbs of music he bought, I do not have internet at home and I do not even know his iTunes accound information although I have asked apple for it but not reply. I know its a security thing so anyways I am asking if anyone knows of a program or a way to scan my drive and retrieve ONLY the purchased songs? I have attempted to scan my drive with iTunes its self and it made more of a mess, mashing the mp3, m4a, m4p, wma music all into the same files and ugh what a mess so I am trying to fix it in the simpliest way possible without losing the music. Thanks for your help anyone who responds Lachlan Mykael Kent
