Problems with non purchased music on my iPhone?

I'm manually managing music on my iphone, I have 10,000 songs on my itunes but only want 1,000 or so on my iPhone, when i choose songs to put on to my iPhone it appears on my device, but then won't play? This is happening for both non-purchased music and purchased music.
I have never bothered with iCloud before or set it up properly, but when I first upgraded to ios7 and tried to drag music over from my library, looking on my device there was certain songs on my library that I hadn't dragged over appearing on the device, with different artwork?
Is there any way to be able to put music on my iPhone the same way as before in ios7?

If it shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone then you should be able to redownload it from there - does that not work ?

I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.

I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.
I have backed up the iphone onto my newly installed version of itunes.
All the purchased albums/songs have been tranferred.
I tried to tranfer by ticking the sync box but its says it will wipe the iphone and replace it with the new library which has only a fraction of my 1000+ songs.
I have read many reviews that say it can be done with a third party program but when I looked into this they offer free evaluation but want about £20 for the program but feel this can be done at no cost.
The itunes is saying my iphone can only be synced to one PC but the original one is wiped.
Am I right in thinking I should go ahead with syncing the iphone then do the restore. Im just worried that once its synced the music and photos/videos will be gone forever.
If I go down this route, I think I still need to know how to tranfer the non purchased songs from my iphone back onto the PC with the newly reinstalled itunes.

Then you will have to purchase 3rd party software.

No. You will lose the music that's on the phone if you do that.
The iPhone is not a backup device. Restore the music to your computer using the backup you should have made of your data before you re-formatted it. If you didn't back up your computer, you will have to pay for software to try and extract it from the phone.

I need to transfer non-purchased music itunes to iphone

In a nutshell. 2005 I bought a PC and copied my entire CD collection to itunes (1000+ songs). I boughjt an ipod in 2006 and copied all the music to the ipod. I've only ever purchased 1 album from itunes store. The PC died. Dead. Gone forever. I boughjt a macbook and soon realized that only the 1 purchased album could be transfered to the new macbook--odd because the PC was dead--yet the one album showed up on the macbook. Oh well, my ipod was fine to listen my collection via my Dennon receiver which has an ipod connector. Years go by. My brother upgrades to the new iphone4 and gives me his old iphone 3GS with 32G (I think).. While trying to figure out if I can transfer my ipod music to my new/used iphone (my brother went to ATT and they set up the iphone with me as the owner) I purchased the App ipod/iphone to Mac and finnally had all my music coped to the Macbook. Now I want to use my iphone to listen to my collection and it seems I can only transfer the 1 purchased album onto the itunes on the iphone. Please, is there an easy way to get all my non-purchased music onto my iphone? Can I tranfer the music via ipod to iphone without using the Macbook?
Thanks for any help, from anyone, from anywhere? It seems that ipod/iphone to Mac app does not go the other way: Mac to iphone (at least the support info doesn't say it can)

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want ot sync, sync.

How to transfer non purchased music back to iphone

Hi
I recently had to to a system restore on my iphone 3gs as there was a 'bug' apparently during an earlier sync process. I back up to icloud to make things easier which it did.
One problem, all purchased music does get synced over except 93 songs which i assume are music purchased or transferred to my library using other sources. Is there a way for me to transfer all that music and complete my library the way i originally had it prior to restoring my iphone?
bdw, i check selected songs from my library which is about half of them to sync with my phone. So, only have of the checked ones (93 of them) are synced over.
Any help would be grateful, thanks in advance

All your music should still be in iTunes on your computer. Isn't that the case? Simply select it in iTunes for syncing to your iPhone.
If for soome reason the iTunes library is incomplete, you can redownload all your purchases again for free. Sign in to iTunes Store using tthe Apple ID you used to purchase the tracks; select Purchased from the Quick Links section in the right-hand sidebar; redownload.
The title of your post mentiones non-purchased music, but the text body does not. Is that an issue you also have?

For content not purchased in iTunes, you need third-party software, like this:

Is there a way to sync non purchased music to my iPhone?

I am so lost.. Please help! Have tried dragging .. have tried "add to iphone" and i am only trying to get music from a CD i imported On my phone! Thanks!

What do you mean it just won't let you?
When you hook you phone up to your computer and click on the Device, and then Click on the Music tab, do you have the new music you want sync'd checked to sync?

Non-purchased music won't go to my iPhone

This problem started two days ago, before that, I have never had this problem. I had a mix of purchased and non-purchased music on my iPhone 5c and two days ago, all of my non-purchased music got deleted. When I went to "On My Device" and clicked on the non-purchased songs, this came up.
I deleted all of the non-purchased songs, re-downloaded some of them, and tried to put them back on again. Midway through doing that, the same thing appeared next to all of the downloaded songs. I don't know what is causing this. I have only had my iPhone for a little over a month and this has never happened until now, all of my songs were playing perfectly fine. Is there any way that I can get my non-purchased songs to stay on my iPhone? When I try to put them back on, they stay on the iPhone for maybe 10 minutes and get deleted. The only music that remains is music that I have purchased from iTunes.

Someone please help!! Nothing is working. I even put the songs in my iTunes Media folder and tried to put them on my iPhone again but it still didn't work. Is there a solution to this problem?

Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures. Can I make them smaller files?

Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures. Can I make them smaller files? I know that is possible for email sent pics.

My bad, It was a Verizon problem. When they upgraded my phone they were supposed to remove all blocks on messaging . Found out they did not do this. All messaging now works. Thanks for listening.

iTunes Store- Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Or you can use a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.

I have 100 songs on i pod touch. But when i connect it to itunes it only showed 44 songs. What is actually happening and how to fix the problem so that all music in my iphone can be seen in my itunes

If they are iTunes purchased music then go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show All.
Next
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Lost all my non purchased music

My old hard drive is no longer working so I have no back-up/ITunes. In trying to get to my ipod_control folder I've lost all my non-purchased music. Not sure how that happened. The non-purchased music is not visible. When looking at the IP Touch settings I see there there is only 58M out of 7G available which leads me to believe that the music is still on the IP Touch. Where do I go from here?
thanks in advance....

Several things: What do you mean by "trying to get to my ipod_control folder"? Are you talking about accessing the file system of the iPhone itself? FWIW, this is a very bad idea and can end up hosing your phone permanently.
There are several utilities out there that will allow you to (try) and extract the music from your phone. Google is your friend on this one. With the exception of purchased media, media sync is one way. Computer>iPhone. There is no sanctioned method of getting other media files off of the iPhone and onto a computer.
As far as another back-up scheme goes, the iPhone is NOT a backup device. You can't back up after the fact. Keeping a backup of the data on your computer, including your iTunes library, is the sane thing to do and basic common sense is to back up your data BEFORE you lose it, not afterward.

Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4

Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4
Hello,
On February 16, bought the GarageBand for iOS which was free and so I find and install it on my 3GS .
Take the demo: Curtain Call Demo
and within the instruments :
audio Recorder
Sampler
Smart Drums
Smart Strings
Smart Bass
Smart Keyboard
Smart Guitar
Keyboard
Drums
Guitar Amp
1.4.1 is the latest version for ios 6.
Configure my AppleID on a Iphone 4 and install the program , the version I have the Iphone 4 is the orange ( different from 3gs ) icon and put it on the AppStore : ios 2.0.1 for ios7.
With these instruments :
audio Recorder
Sampler ( to download the instrument )
Smart Drums ( to download the instrument )
Smart Strings (Download the instrument )
Smart Bass ( to download the instrument )
Smart Keyboard ( to download the instrument )
Smart Guitar
Keyboard
Drums
Guitar Amp ( to download the instrument )
and if I give what I need to restore tells me if I bought it I did not restore anything and tells me to buy :
Complete collection of GarageBand instruments and sound at a price of : € 4.49
As they are 2 different versions ? More than anything I say because I have to pay for the instruments in the 2.0.1 version of the Iphone 4 ... ?
And besides not wearing demo Demo Curtain Call : (
GarageBand 1.x If you are upgrading it using iTunes on a Mac or PC, you can restore the original collection of instruments and sounds. There is no need to buy this collection. Press "You've already purchased?" When displayed on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
this puts on the AppStore but I have tried to restore as I wrote above, and does not work. There is nothing to restore.
regards

I've been having the same problem. However, I believe my problem is due to the 3G issues I've been having. I don't have internet access even when the 3G symbol appears, so probably my iphone keeps trying to connect to the network and has its battery drained! Have you been having the same issue?

How do I remove purchased music from my iPhone?

I have purchased music using my iphone. Now I'm trying to remove the tracks from the phone. They are not on any of my playlists that I have set to sync, but they are always still synced to my phone. I have even gone as far as unchecking the Sync Music option in iTunes. This removed all my playlisat tracks, but the purchased tracks are still on my iPhone.
How do I get them off? I thought there used to be an option on the Sync Music page of iTunes whenever I bought a track, but now I don't see it.

Synch your phone with iTunes and transfer your purchases to your computer.
Then once you're sure those songs are safely on your computer, unsynch them from your iPhone by unchecking them in iTunes.

How do I transfer my non purchased music from PC to ipad mini

I'm trying to transfer all my music from my itunes on a PC with Windows XP to my new ipad mini. It will only sync the purchased music. How do I transfer the non purchased music too?

I use 3rd party apps in conjunction with File Sharing (tap to enlarge image)

How to I transfer non-purchased music from an old PC to my new macbook?

I have an old Dell laptop that is on its last leg and I have about a weeks worth of non-purchased music that I would like to keep. Most of this music is from CDs that I exported to iTunes on the Dell but no longer have the CDs. Is there a way to transfer this music to my new MacBook Pro? I don't really want to keep ALL of the music so it would be best if I can choose artists/albums to transfer.

If you don't want to keep all the music the best way is to simply drag the media you want to keep from the PC iTunes window to a flash drive and then add it to iTunes on the Mac. Hopefully the music isn't stored in WMA format because iTunes on a Mac cannot read that at all, and hopefully it isn't stored as WAV because it will lose all its labels during the transfer using this particular method.
There could potentially be issues with losing artwork too depending upon how the file artwork was initially added.
