Can't Drag Music From iTunes to iPhone 5

Last night I updated iTunes to the latest version as well as updating my iPhone.
I rarely add music to my phone via iTunes as it is always an ordeal, but I had a couple of albums I wanted to add last night as I am going away tomorrow.
I am unable to drag them across. I've tried several suggestions but none of them work.
I have iTunes Match, and the albums I want to put on my phone are not on the iTunes store. Could this be the issue? I tried turning it off on both the laptop and the phone, but still no luck!
All of the songs had a small, dotted cloud next to them. I'm not sure what that means but it was there before I tried copying them to the phone.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Guybrush89,
When you have iTunes Match enabled, the relationship between your iPhone and your iTunes Library is a bit different, especially with regard to syncing. You may find the following articles helpful:

    Can't drag music from iTunes to iPhone. I get the circle with the slash through it.

    As far as I know you cannot drag & play from computer to iPods.  Read the instructions in - Adding and Deleting Songs and playlists from your iPod and iPod Manuals

    Use it as designed, created playlists of the content you want on the device and sync the playlists, albums, artists, or individual songs.

  • Can I move music from iTunes to iPhone 4S wirelessly? (ios 5)

    I know I could sync my apps but can I transfer my music from ripped cds to my Iphone 4S?

    If you're referring to wi-fi sync with iTunes, yes you can sync music or anything else you'd normally sync using the USB cable. Your iPhone needs to have the wi-fi sync option set (via iTunes, on the device's summary page), it must be on the same network as your iTunes library, de-select the iTunes option preventing auto-sync, and iTunes needs to be up and running of course.
    To manually initiate the wi-fi sync you don't need external power applied to your iPhone (unless your battery is low).  If you want this sync to occur automatically there are additional requirements (external power on the iPhone, and it seems you need the option "Automatically open iTunes when this device is connected" selected).

  • Can't  put music from iTunes onto iPhone 3G

    When I try and drag songs or playlists from iTunes on my computer to my iPhone I just get an icon with circle with a diagonal line through it. I have no problem syncing with my iPods.
    Thanks for any suggestions on how to remedy this.

    Hi
    I found this problem, I had to create a new playlist on iTunes, drag everything into that and then drag the playlist to the iPhone. It's a pain but the only way I managed to get it to work.

  • Can't copy music from iTunes to iPhone

    "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPhone because it already contains all the songs in your iTunes library". I don't have ant music in my iphone, becouse i erased it to make more photos in my vacation. Now i have the memory required, but it doesn't copy.
    When i hit autofil, this is what i get .. don't know what to do.
    I tried to drag them manually in the "music" part of the iPhone, but doesn't work either

    Update:
    I saw that if u put new tracks in my "music" folder in iTunes, and try to copy them to my iPhone only the new tracks are being copied.
    And i don't get the  "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPhone because it already contains all the songs in your iTunes library" message
    So i changed all my tracks number ( select all -> right click -> get info and change something that's not so importing for all of them )
    After that, they are diferent so my itunes is copying them to my iPhone.
    Well, this it's not a christian way to solve this, but it's working.
    If anyone has better ideas..
    PS: my USB cable it's damaged ( it's not making the contact with my iPhone very good, so i'm afraid to re-instal my IOS until i buy a new cable )

  • Can't get music from Itunes to Iphone

    Using Windows xp have updated Itunes to 9.2.1(reinstalled a couple of times) and updated Iphone to IOS4. Synch and backup works until Music then Itunes hangs and is non-reponding. Also have Itunes 9.2.1 loaded on wife's XPpc and am able to get Music downloads. Any ideas?

    Are you following the procedure detailed in this Apple support article?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    or if you have iTunes 11:

    Note that you will need iTunes 10.7 or later on your computer to be able to sync an iPhone 5.

  • Can't transfer music from iTunes to iPhone

    Ok, so I transferred this CD to iTunes and I'm trying to drag and drop it onto my iPhone but I get a symbol showing that I can't do that. I then tried to check the box under iPhone that says "Manually manage music and videos" but then get a notification saying an iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time and to manually manage the music and videos I have to erase all content on my iPhone and sync with this iTunes library. The problem is, my original iTunes library has been lost due to a hard drive crash. Furthermore, when I try to transfer purchases from my iPhone to the new library around 200 of the songs show up with incorrect information (they show the track number and song title with no album or artist info. For example, a song titled Memory Lane that is the first song on the album shows up as 01 Memory Lane with no artist and no album.) Any ideas on what I should do?

    iphone will sync with one computer. When you sync to another, it will erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer, this is true of manually managing music as well.
    Since you are trying to drag and drop, do yo have manually manage music checked?

  • Can't drag music from iTunes to iPod after restore and sync

    I did a restore on my 80 Gb iPod classic because the 'catalog' became disorganized. The restore (from latest iTunes under Win7) and the sync/loading of songs seemed normal. The iPod works completely normally EXCEPT when connected to iTunes. Then, I can no longer drag albums to the iPod and the iPod song display is in grayed text instead of black.
    My only theory is that I may have responded to a dialog box during sync which showed my very old and no longer used apple ID. iTunes uses my current ID.
    If that IS the case, how do I fix it? Or, what other kinds of things could be wrong?

    Probably. I ran in that mode since the thing was new, only changing after restore because sync is the default and when I uncheck sync music there is this ominous dialog box saying that 'not sync' will cause all of the content to be removed (or words to that effect).
    I'll mess around a little. The worst thing that could happen is losing this tound and going back to restore!
    Thanks

    If you want to manually manage music and videos, do you have this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences?

  • Can't add music from itunes to iphone 4

    Just got a new computer, downloaded itunes 11 and registed my itunes account with my new device (allowed or whatever). Now I just got some new CDs and itunes 11 wont let me drag and add to my flipping iphone!

    Stop shouting, it simply does not help your cause or make others want to assist you.
    Has the content been moved from the old computer to the new computer?  If not, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    iPhones are designed to sync to one and only one computer, attempts to sync to a second computer will cause iTunes to want to wipe the device.  It can also prevent the user from manually managing content on multiple computers.

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:
    Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • Can not download music from itunes,from my iphone

    Hello,I can not download music from itunes from my iphone 5.
    thanks.

    Sync all the devices to the same computer.
    If you do not want her apps, then simply do not select them to sync to your device.
    Each device will only sync what you select to sync.
    lllass gave you a great link for several options.

    How can I move music from iTunes to play on other devices? thanks

    If you want to drag and drop, then check manually manage music.
    I much prefer syncing playlists to this option.
    Have a look at the manual:
