Non purchased song says it's in icloud but doesn't appear on iPad.

I have 3 songs that I were not purchased from itunes that are on iTunes 11 on my mac. In the previous iTunes, I could right click and select 'add to icloud' and it would add it to the cloud across my devices (iPhone 4S & iPad 2)
However, the 'add to cloud' option has disappeared (it seems to already be in the cloud), but my ipad is not recognising the new song. It's like I need to tell the ipad to search for new icloud updates or something. With previous iTunes it was almost instant - when a song was loaded on my mac, it appeared on my iPad 2 or iPhone 4s, but now it's not appearing at all - not even greyed out so I can download it.
Any ideas?

Typo above in first paragraph: can see the *cloud* icon
Also, I am able to successfully download purchased music, but not movies, on the iPad.

Downloaded incompatible app that says is installed on iTunes but doesn't appear on iPad. How to uninstall?

Ended up accidentally installing Monster Hunter on my iPad and now I can't delete it from iTunes since the icon is blank. On iTunes it says it's been installed but doesn't appear anywhere on my iPad. I've checked in the Usage and used third party software to try and find it. How do I uninstall it from iTunes so it says it's not downloaded anymore?

If you connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and select its Apps tab, then in the listbox of apps what does the button next to that app say ? If 'remove' click on the button and it should change to 'will remove', and then click the 'apply' button bottom right of the screen to remove it. Or if you find the app in the screen mockups on that Apps tab and hover your mouse pointer over the app, does it get an 'x' on its top left corner for deleting it ?
Or, and if you haven't already done it, then you could try a soft-reset and see if you can delete it directly on the iPad after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Itunes says there's an update but doesn't appear in app store

Anybody else get this? I have been getting this for a while with iTunes updates... There will be updates available but they never appear in the App Store....

Thanks for the question. That definitely sounds weird and frustrating! Let’s see if we can resolve this issue. To begin, try out the steps in the following resource:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203604
My startup volume was not listed on the Privacy tab in Spotlight.
Additional information:
Troubleshooting the Mac App Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203421
Sorry, but that link was useless. None of the suggestions in that link are valid.
If an app purchased on one Mac does not open after being copied to another Mac
I did not "copy" iTunes from one Mac to another.
If you are unable to find an app you purchased from the App Store
I didn't buy iTunes in the app store, it was pre-installed on my MBP just like everyone else's. And I don't have a problem finding iTunes, i use it all the time.
If the Mac App Store application was removed after installing the Mac OS X v10.6.6 Combo Software Update
Don't even have a clue what this refers to. I am running MAC OS X v10.10.2.
If nothing happens after clicking Buy when purchasing an app
This is irrelevant. Again, I did not purchase it from the App Store.
If downloading an app is interrupted
Again, irrelevant, i have not even downloaded it yet and none of the versions i ever downloaded have ever been interrupted.
Mac App Store: Unresponsive after clicking Updates icon - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203425
And this one? Where in the world did you come up with this one? I do not use boot camp and do not have NTFS files that are causing this....
Sorry, but that was the MOST unhelpful post I have ever received here in the communities.....

ITunes all of a sudden won't sync non-purchased songs

Title says it all, other day updated to 7.0.3. Sync wouldn't update the 3 new cd's I had added and furthermore, those artists that the cd's belonged to wouldn't play. Meaning any previous song by those artists on my phone also wouldn't play.
7.0.4 fixed nothing infact it just straight up removed all my non-purchased songs off my phone. iTunes claims there's 1,000 songs on my iPhone but only the 200ish I've purchased show up. If I go to "on this phone" it shows nearly every song with a grey circle next to it.
This is ridiculous.

Forgot to add also, all the purchased songs on my phone have the cloud/download button so technically they aren't even there either. Would have to go through and download all of those as well.
iTunes keeps just randomly changing how much space is available. It goes from what it should be (2.5ish GB) down to 8 GB free, all of a sudden will jump to only 500 MB free. Dunno if that is screwing with the Sync, phone things it has no room to add the songs.

How do I transfer non-purchased songs to a new mac?

I had a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and the hard drive in the computer got damaged. I was able to back up some stuff but because this unexpectedly happen I was not able to back up my itunes library. My other apple products are synced via icloud and i wouldnt have a problem transfering the itunes songs into a new mac. the problem is that i have non-purchased songs and I dont know how to transfer them into the new mac. Does anyone know how can i transfer non-purchased content into itunes? Thanks for the help

Unless you're able to restore them from the hard drive, you'll need to either do so from a backup or reload them from the original source.

How can I get my non purchased song content from ipod touch 4 back to my itunes library. My library

How can I get my non purchased song content back into my itunes library from my ipod touch 4. My itunes had disappeared so I had to get another itunes & start again. I still have the original song content in the ipod.

There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Purchase song on notebook, change info, iCloud syncs with iTouch with old info, i sync then 2 copies on iTouch, can't get rid of old info one. Help?

purchase song on notebook, change info, iCloud syncs with iTouch with old info, i sync then 2 copies on iTouch, can't get rid of old info one. Help? thx

Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
Next, create/update your itunes account.
Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account.

I have and Ipod touch, and new computer. How can i add all purchased and non purchased songs? The old computer with the original library is dead. HELP

I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and a new computer. How can i add all purchased and non purchased songs into the new computers itune library? The old computer is dead! Will not even turn on. Help!!!!!!!! I'm going crazy.

Look into downloading some type of iRip software! Allows you to transfer music from iPod to iTunes.

HT201322 Downloaded a song from iTunes on my iPhone but only shows on my iPad. Setup for same iCloud.

Downloaded a song from iTunes on my iPhone but only shows on my iPad. Setup for same iCloud.

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to play tracks on the iPhone from iTunes, the music will be grayed out.
You can play them in iTunes if you Manually Manage the music on your iPhone though.
You could also Transfer the purchases from your iPhone to a computer.

Purchased song that went into my lbrary but not to my ipod

Purchased song that went into my library but not into my ipod shuffle

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).
This document has more general information about ways to load content on a shuffle.

The new U2 album shows purchased via the itunes store on my windows computer, but doesn't appear in my library

the new U2 album shows purchased via the itunes store on my windows computer, but doesn't appear in my library

On your Windows computer, go to the iTunes Store. On the right column of the iTunes Store under QUICK LINKS, you'll see an option called Purchased. Click on that and you'll see all items that are tied to your iTunes Store account. You should see the U2 album there and you can download it from the cloud. You'll now have a copy stored on your Windows computer.

When I "deathorize all" computers and re-authorize my current pc so that I can use it for iTunes, will I lose any of my music, especially those that were not purchased through iTunes directly? I am afraid to that I will lose non-purchased songs.

Will I lose any of my non-purchased music that I imported from CD's when I "deauthorize all" computers and "re-authorize" my current pc? I am fearful that I will lose several songs from my library when I do this.

No. Deauthorizing only removes the computer from the list of computers that you can use to view or purchase new music under your iTunes sign-on.

My mac is authorized for my ipod touch but I can't transfer non purchased songs from my ipod to my itunes library.

My old macbook was stolen a month ago and I just got a new one. My new macbook is authorized for my itunes account, but my ipod touch is only able to transfer purchased songs. Whenever I try to transfer data from my ipod, itunes claims my computer isn't authorized and the transfer stops. What can I do to transfer my music?

An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

Purchase song on iTunes from 5c phone but can't play song on phone or mac

Purchased song on ITunes and entered correct apple id. song downloaded to iPhone 5C. Phone then synced with MacPro laptop on OS Mavericks latest version. This song will not play on phone or laptop. Get Info shows correct Apple ID. Whenever I try to play this song, get message this song is not authorized for this computer. I sign same Apple ID with correct password and get message Computer already authorized. When I click to play on same song again, get same message this song is not authorized for this computer. Song will not play on phone either. Just skips to next available song to play.

What is the exact text of the error dialog?
If I understand you correctly you are saying that you and your wife both use the same MacMini with seperate User Accounts. You each have your own iTunes Store Apple IDs. This could be a problem. One computer can only be associated with an Apple ID once every 90 days. This applies to using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and downloading past purchases. See this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Since you apparently had the MacMini associated to your Apple ID for iTunes Match, if your wife attempted to re-download anything from her purchase history she would have been prompted to associate the computer with her Apple ID, which it sounds like she did. At this time you must wait the 90 days before you may re-associate the MacMini with your Apple ID.
