Transfer of purchased music

I purchased music from ITunes and I can see the purchased music on my computer hard drive, on the "purchased" playlist in my ITunes window but it does not transfer to my Ipod Classic when I perform a sync.
Music I import from my CD's transfer to the IPod in a sync - just not my purchased music. Also, should I not see the playlist "purchased music" on my Ipod the way I see it in ITunes?

Before iTunes will transfer purchased songs to your iPod, you have to make sure the computer has been authorized to play them.
Select one to play, enter your Apple ID and password when prompted and you should be all set.

  • How can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

    Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

    Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
    At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

  • How could I transfer all purchased music to a new computer

    I need to transfer all purchased music to a new computer.. Can I download them again or sync to the new computer??

    Anything you want to transfer, just copy it to a USB flash drive or external hard drive, and from there to the new computer.
    If you want to keep your iTunes library intact, as far as playcounts, playlists, etc, a few extra steps are required. First, on the old machine, run Library > Consolidate. Then copy the entire iTunes folder to the external device, and from there to the new machine.

  • My daughter has an ipod and used itunes through her mom's account, we now set up a new itunes for her iphone, we were able to transfer the purchased music to the library but not the songs she had on old cd's, how do I get all the music off her ipod?

    My stepdaughter has an ipod and used her mom's itunes account, now we set her up with her own itunes but I can only transfer purchased music to her library. How do I get all of her music off of her ipod? (she doesn't have all the cd's she used)

    You may be able to buy a program to do this - not supported by Apple.
    the ipod is not a storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchaes.
    The music should be on a computer as that is where they came from in the first place.

  • How to transfer non-purchased music from iPod Nano to new a computer?

    The title pretty much explains my delimma.  I had to buy a new laptop and am trying to move my music library from my Nano to the new computer.  I've installed iTunes and can easily transfer my iTunes purchased music, trouble is a lot of my music has been downloaded from CDs.
    Can anyone help a girl out?

    Create a folder on your desktop. In iTunes select all the songs you want to transfer. Drag them from iTunes to the folder. Transfer the folder to the new computer. Select all the songs in the folder and drag them to the 'Music' section of iTunes.

  • How do I transfer non-purchased music (loaded from personal cd's) from my 4th generation ipod to my itunes library in my computer

    How do I transfer purchased and non-purchased songs (loaded from personal cds) from my Ipod Nano (4th generation) to my Itunes library?

    iTunes only allows you to transfer music purchased from iTunes because of copyright laws. You would need to search the internet for a 3rd party app that allows you to transfer the non-purchased music or get them from the original source, i.e. CD, other music site, etc.

  • HELP! I can't transfer my purchased music to my ipod

    After purchasing a new pc and transfering my songs over via an external hard drive, I can't transfer new music that I purchased to my ipod. I purchased the new music with the new pc and a recently loaded version of iTunes via the website.
    When I try to update my ipod with my new music I get a message that says my newly purchased songs are linked to a different library. How did I goof this up....buh.
    Any help would really be appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Rick,
    First thing to do is confirm that your new computer has been authorized to play the purchased music.
    And if it's not too late, you'll want to deauthorize the old one.
    And the message you're getting is most likely that your iPod is connected to a different library. If you have successfully transferred all your music (including the purchased music) to your new computer, you can safely let iTunes link your iPod to this iPod.
    Any further questions, post back.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • The transfer of purchased music to a new iphone fails. What to do?

    After the home key on my old iPhone 4 failed I bought a new iPhone 5S. To transfer all purchased content to the new device, I transferred the purchased content and pulled a backup from the old unit, then restored the new unit from the backup I just made. All contacts and settings were tranfered successfully, as were all apps.
    Ringtones and all purchased music, however, could not be transferred. The files show up in the iTunes library all right, and I can play all content there, but I cannot transfer any of it. Trying to retore the music through the iTunes Store by selecting "not on this iPhone" brings up the following message: "all available content transferred". Yet the library on the phone is empty.
    It seems to me like all purchased content (books, music and films) is impossible to transfer or recover. Does anyone have any suggestions other than switching to pirated content from here on forward?
    Many thanks.

    Anything you want to transfer, just copy it to a USB flash drive or external hard drive, and from there to the new computer.

  • Is there a way to transfer already purchased music from bearshare to itunes

    My dad wants to buy an iPod, but has already purchased a lot of music from Bearshare. Is there a way for him to transfer that music to iTunes? Or will he have to re-purchase that same music from iTunes?
    Thanks!

    I would have to say that is not completely true. I have had music already riped to Microsoft Media and instead of doing it over again and saving to iTunes, I just copied the file through iTunes and saved. You have to click yes on save in different format but it does work. I will have to agree that the sound quality is lacking. I think possibly from the format change alone. Sometimes iTunes can't seem to get their built-in equalizer working properly. Hope it helps.
