I am having problems moving music from my computer to my IPhone.

I am having problems moving music from my library to my IPhone. I have everything marked properly and it still won't move to my phone. Any suggestions?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?          
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • I am having problems transferring songs from my computer to my iPhone.

    I got a new laptop and installed all my music onto it, I also installed iTunes.  When I connect my phone it brings up iTunes etc. but if I try to drag music from my "library" to my phone, it will not let me.  Am I missing something?  I know when I hooked my phone up to the laptop the first time it just recoginized it at a mobile phone, and a storage device, it did not try to dl iTunes automatically, I had to go the the dl site and get it manually.

    The way I've always done it and someone may have a better way and if so, I'd be open to how it's done actually the correct way.  Since this way has worked for me 100% in the past, why try and fix something that isn't really broken.  Try my way and hopefully all will be good in the iPhone/iTunes world for you:
    Find the directory (folder) on your computer that is named something close to this after first connecting your iPhone to your computer and then verifying (very important) you can see it in the folder list on the left side of the iTunes application window:
    C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\
    After locating this directory (folder) path,(it may or may not be on the C: drive depending on where you installed iTunes of course) simply copy all of your media (music, videos, etc.) to this folder and allow the copy to complete.  Now, sit back and relax as iTunes "grabs" music from this folder one file at a time and more or less "checks" it to see if it's iPhone worthy of sorts.
    When the copying and grabbing of files from this folder is complete, this folder will be empty.  Yes, empty as all of the files that have been either added or not added depending on the quality (I guess) of each of the media files and have now been "added to iTunes".  If the files were not added to the iTunes library, it's because they was some type of issue with the file quality or content or something.... not exactly sure how media files are "judged" by this process. 
    Now that this process is complete, right click on your "iPhone" which you should still see on the left side of the iTunes application window and then click "Backup iPhone" or something close to that. NOTE:  I'm assuming you have already done this right click and performed a "transfer purchases" prior to doing this "Backup" process.  After the backup process completes, right click the iPhone icon again and then click on "sync".  The sync process will start and finish and when completed, you should now have all your music as well as everything else on your iPhone as well as your iTunes library.
    Hope this helps and if not, I'm sorry I couldn't help after all.  Have a good day!

  • Trouble moving music from my iTunes to my iPhone.

    I downloaded the new iTunes software very recently, but now I seem to be having trouble moving music from my iTunes library onto my iPhone. If I click and drag the track to the iPhone icon, the icon is completely unresponsive. If I right-click the track and hit "Add to iPhone" nothing happens either. My iPhone is synced to my laptop and 'Trusts' it, so I don't understand why I'm not getting any response from my phone when I try to move music into it.
    This is especially frustrating as when I tried to download the new software for my iPhone it suddenly and inexplicably went into recovery mode, and though I recovered the phone's data from backup all my music has been deleted from my phone and I can't get it back.
    Am I doing something wrong that I'm unaware of, or is there a problem with the software? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated.

    I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

  • I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

    I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

    I have a pc and am trying to get my music through my iTunes on my computer.  I didn't have any trouble syncing my iphone 5S but can't get it to sync with my 6. OS 8.1.3
    I open iTunes on my pc, plug in my phone, then I click on the picture of a phone on the upper left hand corner of my music library. Then I get a box of options with sync at the lower right.  I have clicked "automatically sync when phone is plugged in" and have also tried to do it manually by checking specific songs and albums.  Every time I hit sync the box pops up that says, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.  To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
    I took those steps and a box pops up that says "this computer is already authorized."
    I have my recently purchased music on my phone that came through the cloud when I restored my phone. But I want my old music from CD's that I put on my iTunes library in my computer.  I had all of this music on my old phone.
    Thank you so much for your time!  I'm obviously not very good at this!

    How can I transfer the music from my computer to my iphone?
    How can I detele the items that i have already added?

    Via the iTunes sync process.
    And deleting music from your iPhone can be done the same way or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 5, you can delete songs direct from the iPhone one at a time.

  • Having problems transferring music from my pc

    I bought an ipad 3 last week and seem to be having difficulties transferring music from my pc.  Do I click import, this seem to work but only transferred 2 1/2 albums & podcasts.

    <SPAN>Tried a disk clean up and even upgraded the firmware on my player.
    <SPAN>Now in nomad explorer the music files do not even show up while the data library still take ages to load and I still cant transfer anything from it as it tells it cannot read from jukebox device.
    <SPAN>Tried deleting some files to see what would happen ? the file says it has been deleted but when I disconnected and looked in library again the file was still there.
    <SPAN>I forgot to mention in my first post that I was able to transfer everything off my Zen onto pc but I had to remaster my computer and as such lost all files and since then I cant transfer off the Zen - not sure if that matters but thought I should mention it
    <SPAN>Can?t really test at friends? computer because even if I could and it worked I have 25 GB of files that need to be transferred which doesn?t make it feasible to transfer all onto a friend?s computer
    <SPAN>Any help is grateful as I need to back up my music files in case my Zen breaks down (I am on my third Zen in 4 months as the first two were defecti've)
