Can't copy pdfs or songs onto my iPhone 4s
After the latest software update, I can no longer copy pdfs to my iPhone 4s. In the past, I just dragged the pdf from my Mac onto my device in iTunes. Now, I can no longer do that. I also added the pdf to my iTunes library and tried to copy it to my phone from there and that did not work either. Then I realized that I could no longer manually copy songs from iTunes to my phone.
I ran through some help documents and the only one that seemed to address this said that I had to uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" in iTunes preferences and then run Sync. However, I do not want to automatically sync because I do not want my entire, extensive library of songs on my phone. I want to just add items manually, especially pdfs that I would like to be able to read om my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
the videos were in the correct format because i even made a new copy in itunes for ipod/iphone but it was not letting me sync neither videos or music but i fixed it the issue was that i was using a different usb cord than the original becuase mine was tolen so i bought one in ebay and i was using that one to sync my stuff and it was not letting me i was not getting any error message or anything it was like just syncing but nothing was being transfer to my phone so what i did was used the original usb cable from my ipod touch to try and sync and it worked. because i resetted to as new and everything but it was not working until i used the original usb cord to do it Thanks for answering

How can I copy just one song from my iPhone to my iTunes library?
I have purchased songs through the iTunes app on my iPhone 4S. I want to get these songs on to my iPod. I figure I need to first transfer the songs from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my PC. Problem is it always seems to want to sync my library with my iPhone and I have way too many songs in my library to fit on my iPhone. I just want to transfer a couple of songs from the iPhone to my library. Is there anyway to do this?
Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?
When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps! -
Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 90 days
(Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

I bought a few songs on itunes but the songs appear in grey letters and I cannot transfer them to my iphone. I've bought/rented TV shows/movies since so there isn't an issue with my account. How can I get these newly purchased songs onto my iphone?
You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

HT1386 How can I sync itunes songs onto my iphone? Using ios 6.1.3 and itunes 11.0.4.4
When I connect my iphone to itunes (USB) I am prompted to set up new iphone, or restore from back-up. I've already restored from back-up. I can't sync or manage my iphone with itunes now.
Background info: I have recently been forced to update the operating system on my iphone - the contact, pictures and most apps restored just fine. But I cannot copy the music back onto my iphone. When I plug in the phone to sync with itunes I am now prompted to set up a new phone or restore from back up. I have already restored from back up and don't need these options any more.
The syncing instructions I read show screen shots of itunes that I can no longer get to. Any syncing options I can find are greyed out and unusable.
How can I place music onto my iphone?I appreciate your comment however, I sold my iPhone 4 and therefore cannot see how it synched before. What I do know is that I was not using the iCloud with the iPhone 4 and when Ireceived the iPhone 5 in the mail, I took it to the local Apple Store for some user education... The person in the store set this up.
I have been an iphone user since the first phone was selling. I love the product and this issue is troublesome to me.
I do wish that this problem would have been brought to my attention prior to purchasing. I waited weeks for delivery of the phone and thought I was advancing into the the future, not reversing in time.
Looks like I have to re-create about 300 notes by hand! UGH! -

That's a proprietary interface.
Odds are there is no adapter. Ask Sony. -
Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?
So it can be .mp4 format.
If not you have to convert it.
Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

Can't move songs onto my iPhone without turning off match
I have an issue where my Library hasn't been fully matched yet... so the songs I have I can't listen to or upload onto my iPhone.... any suggestions?
You have the ability to turn iTunes Match on separately for your iTunes and your iPhone. Turn it on for your iTunes and let it start the matching process. Until the matching process completes, do not turn it on for your iPhone and it will continue to sync songs the normal way.

Hello, I imported song from a CD onto my Macbook Pro and now I would like to transfer the songs onto my IPhone 5. I can't figure out how to do that, does anyone know how I would be able to do this?

How do you get songs into a Smart Playlist...? Also, when I select the music tab on top, there is no iphone button or anything that says sync to iPhone. That's where I get confused
When you set up a Smart Playlist, it automatically populates the list with songs. You don't have to do anything. Now, you may not have set it up properly, meaning your set up fails to recognize any songs.
If you just want to put music in a Playlist, just create one, give it a name. Then drag the music from the "music" list to the playlist. It copies the information there. And when you sync the Playlist to your iPhone, all the music goes.
It's truly easy, but there is a bit of a learning curve until you're good at it. Keep asking questions here, everyone will help you. But do read the Apple documents, they lay out pretty straightforward. -
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.

iTunes no longer loads "checked" songs onto my iPhone 5. It seem to be all or nothing or choose from the 4 categories. What happened to "sync only checked songs?"
In the case you aren't trolling, here's some alternative mapping services.
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Hi,
I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3 years. i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new. now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs? can i put that data on my ipad?Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup. -
