Why can't I download music to my iTunes???

For years I could download music to my iTunes without buy songs from iTunes Store. But every since I update to this new iTunes 5 months ago now everything has change. Now I can't download my music to iTunes only if I buy songs off on itunes which I HATE. There are LEGAL sites were you can download music for free like Bandcamp.com, DatPiff.com, Livemixtapes.com, and etc. So how come I can't download this songs from these site when it is 100% LEGAL. If anyone can help me this problem I would really appericate it a lot. Thank You.

Inked,
Download the file to your computer in the normal fashio, which does not require iTunes.  Make sure the file is in a valid music format, which usually means MP3.  (If you have any doubts, see if it plays in another music player on your PC, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp.)
Once you know it is a valid music file, drag it into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, which is found in your iTunes Media folder.

    Why can't I download latest version of iTunes in Windows 8?

    Hey gallaleo3,
    First, if you already haven't, try downloading the latest version here:
    www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Then, if you have issues installing it from there, I would use the recommended steps in here:

  • Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?

    Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?

    Thanks for that.
    It seems odd that you can log onto TVNZ TV on demand and watch programmes directly on your computer and yet they won't let them be channelled through the Apple TV.
    The Apple TV would be more use if it could access TVNZ [ say ] and play the episodes from there instead of having to go through iTunes.
    I am a bit cross that Apple market the Apple TV with what it can do in US and yet it wasn't made clear that in New Zealand it is a virtually useless piece of kit.
    I have been buying Apple products since 1985 and this is the first time I have been dissatisfied.
    Having said that it may not be the fault of the product !! Just the country in which I am trying to use it.
    That is another oddity in that New Zealand prides itself in being a World Leader in EFTPOS and internet banking and yet is so abysmal at entertainment sharing !
    A very compliant nation where having fun is frowned upon !

  • Why can't I download music for 90 days on iPod touch?

    I tried to download music for my iPod touch but it said that it was already associated with an iTunes account. And that I have to wait for 90 days to download my purchases that I want to get again.

  • Why can't i download new versions of itunes on my PC?

    I can see from the amount of discussion on the net that this is a major problem and I have tried all the suggestions I can find (delete cookies, download Quicktime separately etc) but I am starting to get very frustrated as I can't get any music on my (now) 3 month old ipod. Plus I have just bought my son a touch and he can't figure it out either.
    Any suggestions?

  • Why can't I download music onto my iphone from my new computer?

    I have a new computer that I've authorized. But I cannot transfer new music that I've purchased onto my existing iPhone. It says that my library is synced with another computer. I'd have to wipe out everything on my phone to sync to this new computer. I don't want to do that. How can I select this new computer as the computer that I want to sync to from now on? Will it help to un-authorize my old computer?
    THANKS!

    I didn't watch the video,  However, the procedure is simple.  Download the track from the other site, and make sure it is saved to your computer.  Then drag it into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder (which can be found inside your iTunes Media folder).

  • Why can't I download podcasts into my iTunes on my phone?

    The Podcasts app is not installed on “iPhone”, so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone. The app only works with celluar data, which I pay for, and i need a connection so I can't listen to them on a plane. BS.

    No, there is another issue at work. Those of us who have our desktop/laptop download the podcasts and then sync the phone to auto transfer the podcasts without streaming and eating our data are the ones experiencing this. I was also experincing this when trying to manually transfer them. The podcasts will play in the app via cloud, but not if they were transferred.
    There is a temporary fix, if weird and user intensive, where you select the podcast episode (or select all for my entire library that wouldn't load), get info, an under options select media kind "podcast". For some reason, this has broken in apple's back end where new podcasts are loaded as music. Pretty stupid since this is the setting that determines if it is loaded into the music player, or the podcast app....
    Hopefully apple fixes this soon.

  • Why can't I find music in the iTunes store?

  • Why can't I rearrange music in my iTunes playlists?

    I cannot drag and drop music within my Playlist.  I can add music to the playlist but cannot arrange the playlist.  Please help--somebody!

    Make sure that the sort icon (it is a little black triangle) is above the left column, i.e. the column of numbers.  if it is not there, click the space above the column to put it there.
    If it is above any other column, the list will stay sorted by that column, and you will not be able to move songs up or down.
    Also, make sure that Shuffle (the crossing arrows at the lower left) is not highlighted.

  • Why can't I download a song in iTunes?

    I bought an album of songs on iTunes, downloaded it, but one song didn't successfully download. Unfortunately, itunes thinks it did download, so I can't download it again.

    Hello davhorns,
    You may need to delete the existing item in your iTunes library, and then redownload it from the iTunes store.

  • Why can I only download 25 mb of itunes 10.6 and at 25.1 mb, it resets and starts over again????

    This is making me want to throw the iphone, the iMac, the windows pc (because it has itunes on it) and anything else related to apple into the freaking ocean and even stop eating apples.  I have been searching the web rying to find answers and always get sent to the "support" community.  Jock straps and bras are support... this community is a place for frustrated users to vent--thats it!  I never once seen anyone from apple get on here and help out.  The only support you get from apple has to be bought.  I don't even know why I am complaining about free software...IT'S FREE, hence the lack of apple support.  Oh well, I will just add the 5 minutes of wasted time I used to type this to the hours and hours of wasted time I have spent dealing with this.  I hope everyone here (besides apple "support team" has a great day, night or whatever it may be where you are.

    Had you bothered to read the terms of use that we all agreed to when signing up to post here, you would have seen explicitly that this IS a user to user technical support forum and Apple has no presence here.
    Think you could stop ranting for 2 minutes, pull your head out of your rear-end and provide some details of the issue you're having?
