It depends what you want to do.
If you want to back up your music to an external hard drive, just copy it there, the same way you would back up photos or documents. It is best to copy the entire iTunes folder.
If you want to subscribe to the cloud-vased backup known as iTunes Match, see this article:

I am trying to back up my music on iTunes to a DVD. When I choose File Library Back Up to Disc, the "back up to disc" doesn't show, so I can't back up my music files on a DVD.

I am trying to back up my music on iTunes to a DVD. When I choose File>Library>Back Up to Disc, (Back up to disc) doesn't appear, so I cannot backup my music to aDVD.

The back up to disc feature has been removed from recent builds of iTunes. Use SyncToy (PC) or Carbon Copy Cloner (Mac) to clone your iTunes library onto an alternate internal, external or network drive.

TS3297 iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.

iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store. Anyboy else get this looping error?

Hey everybody,
I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
Good Luck,
Bill

Hi Mike,

If I have a playlist say with 200 songs it will say on itunes sync window syncing 200 songs however I only get 150 songs on my iphone. I have restored iphone twice, I have tried playlists and smart play lists. It seems not to sync the same songs all the time. Prior to IO7 in sinced all my songs. I see on the chats that this is a big problem. Do you have any solutions. the songs that dont sync are the same format as those that do.

I wiped out my songs by mistake and now I cannot sync my ipod back to my music in itunes?

I wiped out my ipod music by mistake and now I cannot sync my ipod back to my itunes

Can you provide more specific info?
Do you mean that you deleted the music from the iPod (not sure how you would do that without connecting to iTunes) but still have them in iTunes or that you deleted the music from iTunes but still have it on the iPod?
Is your iTunes installed on a Mac or a PC?

Cannot Burn or import music from itunes

every time i open itunes i get a pop up that tells me that i must reinstall itunes before i will be able to burn or import music.
i have gone round and round with tech support trying to figure out why i can no longer burn discs. i was told that my internal cd/dvd drive must have gone bad and that i needed a new one. i went and purchased one, an external drive, and STILL CANNOT BURN OR IMPORT MUSIC! I can copy CDs and DVD from my internal drive so i now know that my drive is not bad and that the issue is not with my computer it is with itunes. my question is how do i get itunes to recognize that i do infact have a working drive? and if i cannot burn music from itunes how can i get it somewhere else on my computer so i can?
i am SO fed up with itunes and am about to just give up on it completely!
please help! ANYONE!!!

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

Why can't I upgrade all music to iTunes Plus?

Hello world,
So I was wondering why, when looking at the page in the iTunes store which lets you convert all previously purchased DRM music to iTunes Plus, it shows less total songs than I currently have?
To be specific, I created a smart playlist which shows all my protected (DRM) music. I did this by telling the playlist to display: 'Kind - Contains - "Protected"' & 'Kind - Does not contain - "Video"'. The result is that I can see that I have 324 DRM protected songs, all purchased from the iTunes store.
However, when viewing the upgrade page in iTunes it shows that there are a total of 279 songs available for upgrade.
I am of the understanding that right now, all music on the iTunes store is DRM free or iTunes Plus format. I can't believe that they've taken some music down because they couldn't make it available in iTunes Plus, but of course maybe that's exactly what they've done.
Anyway if anyone can explain to me the difference in the total number of songs available for upgrade that would be sweet. As if I am going to pay approx. AU$100 to upgrade, I don't really want 45 songs left over which are still protected as it defeats the purpose a little.
Cheers.

So what do I do when...
I have two albums by Way Out West. Today I found where 'Don't Look Now' was able to be upgraded to iTunes Plus. Okay, cool enough. (Yes, I'm just now getting around to checking this stuff out). Their other album that I purchased ages ago at the same time as 'DLN' is 'Intensify'. It too is offered today in iTunes.
'Intensify' is not listed in my items that I can upgrade to iTunes Plus.
So, given that this album is available today in iTunes, and it is available in the DRM-free version, how do I tickle iTunes in such a way as to let me upgrade this other album?
BTW, there ARE other albums, but I am trying to pick a very simple case of 2 albums by the same artist that are both available at this moment to make my point crystal clear.
Thanks!
Glen

Cannot Sync Photos and Music with iTunes

After I updated my iPad mini and iPhone 5s to iOS 8, I cannot remove my music from my iPad to create more space, and I cannot restore the photos that was removed from my phone during the update process. With my iPad, I tried removing the music with iTunes on my Mac and the message appears asking if I want to remove music after I uncheck sync music, but it did nothing to my iPad, even after I synced multiple times. I even tried removing music on my iPad by going to Setting>General>Usage>Music, but one I clicked on Music the app would crash to the home screen. I have tried doing this with or without it connect to iTunes, as well as restarting it but nothing works. It keeps crashing.
With my iPhone I tried syncing photos multiple times but it is always stuck on (step 5 of 6: Importing photos), where it will continue for hours and then give up. I tried unchecking the sync photos first and then tying to sync it with the photos again but the same problem persists. I also tried removing the iPod Photo cache from my iPhoto Library and then syncing it again but nothing.

Problems solved! Apparently when iTunes 10.5 is installed, the settings for what to sync, e.g. photos, music is reset to the default in which no content is synched. What's more, these settings are not particularly obvious in the Windows version on iTunes, as you have to scroll down to actually see them. There is also no message or other information as part of the upgrade process that warns that theses boxes will revert to being unchecked after the upgrade.
From a user-centered design process, POV the upgrade and its instructions are woefully disappointing :-(

I cannot seem to transfer music from ITunes to other devices?

Is it not possible to transfer music from Itune's to other device's then Aplle products?

Recent iTunes Store music purchases can be moved to non-Apple devices by locating the song files and following the instructions provided with the device; in some cases, the file needs to be converted to MP3 first. Very old music purchases can't be except to a handful of Motorola cellphones.

HT201272 Why can't I download my music from iTunes onto my ipod?

I got a new laptop computer, downloaded iTunes on it and retrieved my music from my old computer into this iTunes. However, now I cannot download new music or any music for that matter onto my iPod nano. I can sync music from my iPod to my computer but not the other way around. Even re-registered my iPod again, but this does not seem to matter. What am I doing wrong? Never had this problem before. My computer has Windows 8 if that makes a difference.

The people who answer here are just users like yourself, and how long it takes depends on who is around and happens to see your post. You can't expect an immediate answer, though you might be lucky and get a quick one - but it might take some hours or even a day or so.
However, you've posted in the forum for Producing Podcasts - heaven knows why - which is not in any way related to your question, and so which reduces the likelihood of anyone who knows the answer seeing your question. I've asked the Hosts to move your posts to the iPad forum.

Why can I not listen to music on iTunes using my iphone

I sync my music to my phone at home then bring my phone to work. When I plug in my phone to my desktop at work, my music doesn't show up in iTunes. This works perfectly on my iPod. I am able to sync music at home and bring my iPod to work and listen to it via iTunes.

That's not cool. The iPod was able to do that, why would they make the iPhone any different?
I don't want to sync to two computers though. I'm literally syncing to one computer and just plugging it in to another computer to listen to the music on the phone.
