Why can't I back up music from my ipod to my computer itunes that were burned from CDs?  It will only back up songs purchased from itunes.

I can burn the CDs to my itunes on my lap top but it is about 1000 songs.  Can I do it by synchronizing?  So far I can only get the istore purchsed music to go.

You need a third-party program to do that. Some are discussed here:

    Not a good idea.
    What you could do, is have the Library content on the external hard drive and simply tell your iTunes programme to look on the hard drive for your music etc.. However, once you set that up, that hard drive needs to be connected and ready to read, before you start the iTunes programme. If it isn't ready, iTunes will simply go back to the default location for the music, find nothing and then you'll be back here saying that you've lost your Library.

  • My old computer, and external that I had everything backed up on broke. Majority of my music I got from burning CD's that I no longer have. How can I get all my music on my iPod onto my new iTunes?

    Like I said, my back up broke and I can't get all of my music back by transfering purchases because I burned a lot of CD's I had collected from the past. I don't have any of those CD's anymore, so how can I get all of my music onto my new iTunes? Or am I just S.O.L.?

    Phone to Mac,this app lets you easily copy, transfer the music, videos and playlists from any iPod or iPhone directly into iTunes on any Mac.

  • 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.

  • HT1473 Why can't I transfer my music from  my iphone to my iMac mini? Or vice versa?

    I have two Apple products, the Mac Mini and an Iphone.  But, I can't transfer the music from my mac mini to my iphone (and vice versa) using ITunes, without losing my songs on my iphone.  I really want to add the new songs on my Mac mini to my iphone (I used to sync to a PC that doesn't work anymore).  Can anyone hlep me figure out what to do?

    So heres the problem, once you sync your iphone with a computer it only lets you get music from that computer and vice versa for security reasons. Otherwise, you could just download music from everyone's computers and no one would even have a reason to buy music anymore, causing huge problems for the music industry. If you bought all of your songs from Itunes though, you can download those to your mac mini and then resync your Iphone with that pretty simply. If you need help with that, just comment, and we should be able to help you.:)

  • Why can't I see my music from CD's that were synched to cloud on a different authorized computer?

    I have imported two CD to iTunes on my home computer and synched them to the Cloud, I can't see them on another authorized computer. I was wondering if anyone has any advice? Thank you

    You cd music will not be on icloud.  You will have to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • HT201269 why can't i transfer my music from my iphone4s to my iphone5s?

    i have my iphone 5s plugged into my mac and everytime i try to sync my library with the 5s it tells me that my computer is not authorized to transferred my purchased songs from itunes. it then tells me to go to store>authorize this computer, I do that and I get a message that says this computer is already authorized but then it still wont sync my music to my new phone.  I'm so confused and frustrated. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Is iTunes on your computer signed into the same iTunes Store account as your iPhone 5s, and the same account as the music purchased on the iPhone 4s?

  • Why can't i sync my music from computer to iPhone4s?

    i download a new music into my itunes library, and when i'm trying to sync the music to my phone it shows "The phone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". What should i do to fix this??

    I restart my phone and computer, then it let me sync. If you have same problem try this, it might work.

  • Why can't I sync my musics from my itunes library?

    I just downloaded the newest version of itunes to update my ipod to the version 5.0.1 and I have a whole playlist in my itunes.
    when i looked in the music icon of my ipod, there was only one song in the playlist. I clicked on sync many times and there is no result.

    Makes sense. Hadn't thought to add artwork to the actual individual files before uploading. For my own present sanity, I just added our logo art manually to each downloaded episode (3 as of today) so at least I have it looking right in my own iTunes library. But in the future, I'll do the imbedding thing so it will work for everyone else. I thought since iTunes has a lag time on searchability and artwork with the original first podcast submission, this was just another thing waiting to resolve on it's own, but now I know it's another tiny step in the pre-upload process. Will definitely remember to add the art moving forward. Thanks!
