Transferring music from an app.

I have an app that can download songs, but in order to add it to my ipod i have to access it through itunes. When I connected my iphone, clicked the apps tab, scrolled to the bottom and selected the music app the song files don't appear. How come it's like this and how can I transfer the songs?

If it's music you purchased from the iTunes store, you can just re-download it from the store. If it's music you acquired from other sources, and you don't have a backup of it (since it had to be synced to the phone from your computer to begin with) then you'll have to purchase 3rd party software to try and extract it or re-rip the original CDs.
If it was ripped from CDs and you no longer have possession of the original CDs, then you don't own the music.

    You can only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store to your computer, and this is done using itunes (File>Devices>Transfer Purchases).  If the music  you want to tranfer is associated with an app, unless the app specifically can share files with iTunes or sync them with iCloud, the music would only be stored as app data in your backup.  If it is stored in the backup, you would have to restore the entire backup to your other device in order to transfer the music.  If it shared with iTunes you may be able to save it to your computer from within iTunes.  If it is synced with iCloud, you could access it using the same app on your other device by signing into the same iCloud account.
    Since there are clearly a variety of ways that it could be transferred depending on the app, you should contact the app developer to ask how this is done with their app.

    Hey lightc,
    If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Transferring music from iphone to pc

    Purchased/Downloaded music from itunes to iphone - how can I sync / upload music to PC to back up?

    PaulCB
    Saw your post about transferring music from iPhone. I guess I am a total dweeb; I cannot understand Apple's instructions.
    I have two identical PCs. Have same version of iTunes on each. iPhone 3GS with 4.01 OS. I cannot figure out how to transfer the 5400 songs on my iPhone into my iTunes library without erasing the 2500 songs (different titles which came from a Dead Dell) that are already there. Any advice would be super appreciated.

  • TRANSFERRING MUSIC FROM IPOP TO PC

    I had a hard drive crash and I lost all my dowloaded music from I Tunes library. I am trying to determine if there is a way to transfer my music collection from my nano to my new pc (Inspiron 531 deskstop). I shudder at the thought of re-loading 75 CD's individually back onto my pc as I really don't want to try that. Please help! Thanks! Gary

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Transferring music from old computer using ipod

    I recently transferred music from my old computer to my new computer using my ipod by following the directions in apple support (article 300173.) I already had music in itunes on my new computer when I added the music from my old computer. Now all the music that I had loaded prior to the transfer comes up with a message "original file could not be found." Have I lost this music for good?
    MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    If you dragged the file called 'iTunes' in to the music folder in the finder and it asked 'do you wish to overite' then it has probably overwritten the folder tha t already existed
    (with the new music in).
    If you haven't emptied you trash it might be in there, but don't click retore the trash just drag the folder onto the desktop.
    Hope this helps.

  • Transfering Music from Napster to Go to my Zen 3

    I have recently been having problems transfering music from Napster to my Zen. I download the music, transfer it to my Zen (Vision : M 30GB), and it shows up in my organizer on my computer and my Zen device on my COMPUTER, as in the folders on the computer when I hook it up to the computer, but then I click on the folders of the recently downloaded artists and none of the actual music I downloaded are in the folders or on my Zen when I go portable. I have tried clearing up the C Disk thing from help and have tried clearing the playlist from the folders, but nothing works. I downloaded about 250 songs before this started happening and now I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated.

    I had problems for the first month of my Napster membership (while I was still in the trial period). I nearly went elsewhere, but stayed with it. As soon as the trial period was over, everything worked perfectly. One suggestion is to use the same software for everything. Whether you use Creative media source, Napster's own software or media explorer or any of the others, stick with that one only. Do not give up and go to itunes. What a waste of money!?If you need to reload firmware or try another software, it's worth it.
    I also had some issues getting help. Napster said the problem was with Creative and Creative said the problem was with Napster. Don't give up. Can you get ripped songs in?

  • When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching.  Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod too.  Can I move these back?

    weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
    how weird is that?
    oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
    anyway, thank you for all the help.
    to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
    cheers

  • Transferring music from old to new computer ?

    hey!
    so i tried following the tutorial for transferring music from my old computer to my new computer (both of them PC's) and i got as far as the "copy itunes folder into ipod then connect to new computer"
    now the next step is to take that itunes folder outta my ipod folder and place it into "my music" and then delete the itunes folder from my ipod so i free up my memory again.
    the only problem is i don't know where this "ipod folder" is located so i can't extract the itunes folder and now i have all this memory used up.
    has anyone done this before because the PC version of the tutorial doesn't seem to be working. my question is what should this ipod folder look like and where can i find it?
    THANKS!

    Hi cynthia I know what your going through the same exact thing happened to me (I feel your pain and stress). You can use Windows Explorer to delete the folder it should be obsvisoly labeled I belive as "Itunes" and if you acidentally delete your music its already on your new computer anyway so all you would have to plug it in and it would sync...

  • Transfering music from Nano to Classic

    Hi Friends. I bought a 120 GB Classic today and *am wondering if I can transfer my existing music from my 4 GB Nano to the Classic?*
    I hope so! I'll be crushed if it can't be done.
    Also, *does my Classic have to be 100% charged before I can transfer tunes to it?*
    Please help, thank you!

    Hi Friends. I bought a 120 GB Classic today and am wondering if I can transfer my existing music from my 4 GB Nano to the Classic?
    You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another. The music must be in iTunes to transfer to an iPod, and from your post it seems as though it isn't. Very bad idea!! Anyway, to get the music from your nano back to the computer/iTunes, read on.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

    Not necessarily, but it would help since transferring data to an iPod can put a huge drain on the battery.

  • What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?

    What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?

    I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
    If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
    If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.
