Transfering to itunes?

Ok i use another program that i paid for to find music Itunes doesn't offer. Itunes will link with that program so i can play the songs from it but i wanna put those songs onto my ipod. How can i do this without buring cd then ripping back off of the cd?

IF you are successful in getting the songs into your Itunes they should automatically go onto your Ipod when you plug it in for an update. Otherwise, go to File:Add File: Find the song and put it in your Itunes and then plug your Ipod in and update it.
Hope that helped.

How can I get all music "tags" to transfer when transferring an iTunes library?

OK, here's my situation: I have accumulated about 250GB of music on iTunes on a laptop running Windows 7. The hard drive was running out of room, and I wanted to upgrade computers. So I bought a Mac Book with 1TB of hard drive space.
To transfer my library (which includes about equal parts iTunes purchases and imported CDs), I copied the entire iTunes folder onto an external hard drive, and then used the "add folder" function on iTunes to add the entire library to my new computer. I knew I would lose all data such as last played, most played, etc. And I knew from past experience that merely transferring the iTunes folder, including the iTunes library file, to the new computer hard drive (without using the "add folder to library" function) would not mean that the new computer would automatically behave as if the exact same library from the old computer was on the new computer. I hope I am explaining this right.
My problem/question is: many of the music files came over without some of the tags that were on the files in the old computer. This happened with respect to some, but not all, of the imported CD files. (I had used the MP3 format when I ripped these.) The song titles are still there, but many of the tracks say "unknown album" for that artist or, worse, just say "unknown album" AND "unknown artist." Because I have accumulated so much music over the years, it would take me quite a while to re-tag all he music files with all the missing info. Again, I'm lucky to have the files, and my iPods containing the music have not yet been synced to the new computer, so I could just manually check what I had on the old iPods and re-add/re-tag the files that were problems. I know having such a large folder could itself be the problem. But adding folders to the computer one at a time does not seem to help, as the "unknown" issue keeps happening even then.
So my conclusions are that one of the following has happened: either there is another way to import a large library that I should try (Apple migration assistant, maybe?), or I somehow made the transfer from the old computer onto the external hard drive in the wrong way and I'm stuck with things as they are (which would not be terrible, just inconvenient) or there is some limitation in the software of music services that results in many "unknowns" showing up. These were not obscure records, and iTunes/Gracenote recognized 99% of them just fine when I imported them, but I remember from using Windows Media Player that it was pretty hit-or-miss at times in terms of the right tags being assigned to songs.
Yes, I probably have spent way too much time over the years on my music. But if there is something I can learn from this, I'd be happy to hear about it, either to fix things easily now or the next time I transfer music. (Again, all the files had all the correct tags on my old computer, before I copied them.) I thank anyone who replies very much, in advance!

Just to update: the solution above works. I had tried to "import" all my files into the new computer rather than just copying and pasting the old iTunes folder into the new computer. This second, easier, solution is much, much better than re-importing all the songs. Seems like those little files included in an existing iTunes folder are very, very important! Without them, I would have had hundreds and hundreds of "unknown" files to re-tag. As it was, when I copied and pasted the existing iTunes folder into the new computer and opened iTunes, all the files were there, complete with all the date added/date played/number of plays/etc. information from my old computer. (For some reason, this didn't work when I transferred from PC to PC, but that was several years ago and not a transfer to a Mac.) I did seem to lose album artwork for a number of albums I had imported rather than purchased, and there was other cleanup to do on a small percentage of files. But that was a vry small amount of work compared to re-tagging from scratch. Thanks again for your help.

Long voice memos not transferring to iTunes

Hi,
I need help. I have a 3gs 32GB iphone and for all purposes its been working alright, but since i did the ios 5.0 update (now ios 5.0.1 hoping this would solve the problem but no)some of my voice memo's have been duplicated on my phone. Also voice memos longer then one hour are not being transferred to itunes 10.5 running on ios X 10.6.8. Can i get some options please!
another note my ipone's general info says i have 14GB available but itunes tells me i only have 9.2 GB available.
Thank you for any help.

hi Nina!
hmmmm. is it just the voice memos that aren't transfering at the moment? how about new songs and whatnot?
love, b

Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?

We need a bit more information to help.
Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer? If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer? That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing. If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds.

You don't. You synch your iPod to your computer. There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod. You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

Sign in with the new Apple ID credentials.

I have transferred my iTunes library from a PC to a Mac. Many of the albums will not run (not authorized) The system asks for old email account and passwords I used years ago. I have no idea what they are. How do I get around this?

Having transferred my iTunes library from my old PC to my new Mac. Many of the albums will not play because they are not authorized. Authorization lists very old email addresses of which I do not have the passwords or, in fact, access to the email websites. Can anyone whelp me with a way to get around this?

Yes, I believe I did with no success playing some of my "old albums." The remaing albums worked just fine.
I think I found a workaround by signing in to the old website using "forgot" password and changed it to a new one. Then I signed in using my Apple ID and Passwird. This seems to have worked.

There is no need to import anything or use Home Sharing.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer, everything will be exactly as it was.

Are the songs authorised to the same account?
Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail. You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name. Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes. It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD). You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song.

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.
