Cant put music in my iphone

Hi,
I've been trying to upload music from my PC to my Iphone for a few days now and I always get the same message. It says I need to synch my phone with my PC for the first time and by doing that, It will erase everything from my phone. It's the first time I synch my phone with a PC and it says I have to synch with a NEW PC. I don't want to lose everything in my phone because I have my phone for over a year now and it's full of important things in it. Is there a way I can put music in my Iphone without having to synch ?? Like the older phone that you could just open the phone and drag music in it, and it was done. Why make this so complicated when it could be soooo easy ????
Thanks for the help

Do you have Sidebar ON?
iTunes > View > Show Sidebar.
Connect and select iPhone in iTunes Sidebar under DEVICES, choose the Music tab on the right, select Sync Music and whatever music you the on iPhone. Click Apply (bottom right)

New Computer and cant put music on my iPhone

I just got a new computer and it syncs to the computer but i cant sync my music !! Someone help me !! PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!

What does I can't sync my music mean?
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and videos with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. Unless you transferred your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer - the iTunes named folder located in the Music folder placing the iTunes folder in the Music folder on your new computer with iTunes quit before doing so along with authorizing your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, when transferring iTunes content from another computer, all iTunes content transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first. The transfer of iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - it is not synced as contacts and calendar events can be kept synchronized with a supported application on your computer.

Cant remove music from my iphone

I cant remove music from my iphone. I have tried de-selecting the sync all music from itunes and it removes all music except 27 songs that are not even songs I have put on my phone. They are from my wifes library. I assume they were added through the cloud. I have turned off all cloud options but still cant remove the 27 songs. Anyone have any ideas?

I have also tried using the touch and swipe method with no luck. I have tried selecting and de-selecting the manually manage music and videos option with no luck. I have read a post that someone resolved this by restoring the phone but I have text messages that I need so I was hoping there was another way to fix this issue.

My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone

My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone or take music off. Everytime I go to sync it it says I dont have enough space but I clearly have more than enough space left. I also am trying to take music off of my iphone so I can put new music on but everytime this box pops up and I really dont know what to do.

I think you have misunderstood the message you see.
The message states that you need an additional 1.93GB as well as the 3.93GB shown in the capacity bar. So it requires a total of 5.86GB.
There are a couple of things you can try:
Click on the OK button (in that message) and then deselect the media that you wish to remove. Once you have un-ticked the Playlists, or albums or whatever, click on the Sync button again to allow iTunes to Sync. It will then remove the un-ticked items, leaving space to add the 5.86GB that you are trying to add. If you continue to see the same message, but with a smaller additional amount required, then you have not deselected enough items.
Check how much space is being used by the "Other" category (shown in the capacity bar). While there will always be a small amount of Other on an iPod, anything over 1GB is probably not correct. Usually, a Sync will sort this out. If it doesn't then you may have to perform a Restore procedure, but I suggest you use that only as a last resort.

I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help?

I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help? I'd really rather not completely empty my iPhone in order to have it agree with this new laptop. How do I get them to talk to one another and let me put my music on my iPhone?

The iPhone will only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

Hi DVX100Shooter,
Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it.
Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
The shared family photo album is available to all family members.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Im trying to put music on my iphone. when i click music all it says is "itunes match is on" and only lets me click a box that says "sync voice memos" what do i do

Im trying to put music on my iPhone, when i click music all kt says is itunes match is on and has a box for me to click sync voice memos nothing else what do i do

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer. We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box. The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

Why can't I put music on my iphone?

Last night I dragged an dropped and it was fine. Tonight I decided to add some more and now it isn't. I have the dreaded red circles with squares. It's greyed out when I look at my phone music on itunes. I have not time to check, uncheck, check, uncheck a thousand times.
How do I put music onto my iphone?
<Edited by Host>

This was my problem:
"song" was not copied to the iphone because it cannot be played on this iphone.
I did this:
1. right click displayed song on itunes.
2. click, "create AAC version
3. I dragged song to iphone, and it finally accepted the song.
conclusion: after days trying to figure it out, it was something easy the whole time.
Hope this helps you. Have a happy holiday.
