Can't drag music/books onto iphone 4S

Hi, just purchased an iphone 4S for my wife and trying to sync music and a couple of ebooks. I am not able to sync individual songs as gives the no entry symbol when trying to drag over iphone and music. If I press autofill on the bottom it transfers the entire music library just can't do individual songs. Also can't sync any books. I am running itunes 10.6. Can do any of this on my iphone 4 on my own itunes account but not on wife's new account. Any ideas

Sync and drage and drop are two entirely different things.
If you want to drage and drop, then you willhave to check teh Manually manage music box.
If you want to sync, then you would have to uncheck it.
To sync, open itunes , connect iphone , go to esch tab, select what you would like to be on the iphone and sync.  Only what is selected will sync.  The iphone does not act a storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
You cannot do both.  Switching between the two will erase the current content.

  • Can't drag music onto iPod?

    Using a Mac for the first time (its been up & running for a while but I've just come home from eight months away so my first opportunity to use it, loving it!)...
    Problem is that I can't drag music/audiobooks etc onto my ipod.
    iTunes is definitely recognising my ipod and "Manually manage music" is checked but nothing happens when I try to drag music onto it.
    Is there something I have to do because this is the first time I've hooked this ipod onto this computer? I can't imagine so because in Sydney I used internet cafes all the time and never ever had a problem adding music to my ipod.
    I'm driving north for Christmas today & would really like to be able to listen to the new audiobook I've just downloaded. Help, please!

    g'day and welcome to discussions !
    instead of trying to drag & drop, sync playlists and audiobooks to your iPod.
    browse through the various tabs for music, videos, etc. and put a "tick" in the box next to items you want on your Pod, then hit sync. see this KB http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    any help ?

  • Can't sync music on my iPhone 3.0

    I have an original 8GB iPhone.. and since I updated it I haven't been able to sync my music, I can sync anything but the music, includding apps and photos, but when I try to sync the music, it gets synced but when it's finished syncing it appears a message saying that there was an unknown error and it can't be synced, and it appears in iTunes that my music is in the iPhone.. but it isn't!
    This error just appears when I try to sync music, and it's not a Playlist because I already tried diferent playlists and it's still not working, and this started happening since I updated my iPhone
    Please someone help me, I am going on vacation soon and I really need my music to travel
    Thank you for reading.

    Well, this may or may not help but it is an idea...
    Try syncing music manually. The choice is on the first screen of syncing. If you select this box, iTunes expect you to drag your music from the music library onto the iphone and it will sync right then.
    In other words, if you connect your phone, select "Manually manage music and videos ", then you can start dragging music from the library to the phone. Each playlist or group of songs you drag will sync immediately. This should help you determine if it is something in the music that does not sync
    AND manual syncing of music applies to ringtones, videos, rented movies and tv shows. I"m not saying its easier or more fun, just another way to sync that might help.

  • Why I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S? I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens.. Please help

    Ever since I installed an application (a Ringtone maker) downloaded from App Store now I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S?
    I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens. Although I followed the instructions given in the Help Video for that application nothing happened, no ringtones were loaded, and all my music disappeared.
    Please help!!!

    Hi Ivan,
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone in the left bar. In the middle screen, go to the tab 'Music' and see if the Sync music box is checked.
    If it is checked, you can select the music you want on your iPhone in the screen below.
    If it is not checked, you can drag and drop music from your library to your iPhone.
    Do the same in the tab 'Ringtones' (not sure if there is such a tab).
    Let us know if this solved your issue.

    If this is music purchased through the iTunes Music Store, you would need to transfer the music to your computer using iTunes then transfer to the non-apple device according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

  • How can I transfer music from my iphone 5 to another iphone 5

    I want to know How can I transfer music from my iphone 5 to another iphone 5

    Purchased iTunes content can be re-downloaded for free, directly to the device, as long as you use the samme Apple ID that was used to originally purchase the content. Either that, or you sync it to the phone using iTunes. You can also use iTunes Match.

  • HELP!!!! I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1

    I still can't sync music to my iphone 6 with ios 8.1. I have tried all the options suggested on various posts, and searched the internet, but since getting the iPhone 6, and updating to iois 8.1 today, I STILL cant get music from my macbook pro on to my phone, and its driving me mad.
    Im using a MacBook Pro 2GHz Intel Core Duo, so quite an old mac, and iTunes 11.4. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!!

    I've tried turning off and turning back in sync music, tried manually installing music. Re-installing the ios, resetting the network prefs etc. Some others had this problem when ios8 first came out. I tried all the 'tricks' they tried..... but there's worked whereas mine didn't.
