Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can enable the sidebar via control-S, on a Mac via option-command-S) and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen select the Music tab and use that to select which of your computer's iTunes music to sync to your phone's Music app.

I can import some songs from another computer but not others. All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Message says "...check connection to network..." Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's computer but not others. All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." The network appears to be fine . I can import other songs from his library. The same songs cause me a problem each time I try. My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well. "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot. My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7. I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

Can I delete songs from my computer to free up space, using iTunes match?

Hi,
I love iTunes match, because it brings my entire music library to all my mobile devices without being limited by internal storage space.
But, now I have the problem that my computer is running out of free HDD space due to my gigantic itunes library.
So, my question is: Can I free up hard drive space by simply deleting files from my computer, and rely on iTunes Match to download/stream those songs that I want to play after I've deleted them? It should work, right?
This operation clearly relies on iCloud to host all of my songs, where iCloud becomes the 'master repository', rather than my computer.
Has anyone been able to successfully operationlize this?
Many thanks,
Mark

Actually, further to my last reply, I just played a song that wasnt located on my computer any longer (I deleted the file but left it in iCloud when prompted by iTunes). The song has an iCloud icon next to it. I double clicked it and it started playing. When I opened up the info windon on this song, the Location says "iCould". So, that leads me to believe that indeed we can delete the files from our master computer, and, stream them or download them from iCloud! How great is this? Can anyone coroborate this? Cheers, Mark

Loading songs from new computer

Old laptop screen broke. Bought new computer. Bought new songs on new computer. Once shuffle connects, Store wants to wipe off all songs on shuffle before loading new songs. Is it at all possible to transfer songs from old LT, through external drive, on to new LT, then load on to shuffle. Have I lost all of my $$$?

This forum is for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, not iPods. You should probably post your question in the iPod and/or iTunes forums:

I can't load songs from iMusic onto my iPod

When I attach my iPod to the PC all that happens is the phrase "Do Not Disconnect" shows up on the nano screen. I also can't upload any songs from iMusic to the iPod and I have tried to sync this several times. Am I doing something wrong or is my iPod defective? I appreciate the help.
Mike

Thanks for the help. Yes, I created a playlist in iTunes so we're doing that right. I originally created a few playlists in iTunes a few months ago when I first bought the iPod and had no trouble synching, but now it won't allow me to do that successfully. As to synching, I am clicking on every Sync iPod command but nothing is transferred between iTunes and the iPod. Any ideas? I assume this is broken. Thanks, Mike

HELP!!! VERY IMPORTANT! i can't put songs from my computer into my itunes!!

this happens to me since last month,
i uesed to downloaded some songs from other country, and it used to could put them into my iTunes,but since last month everytime i tried to put my downloaded songs into itunes, i didn't appear on the itunes screen and it doesn't appear on my iphone either. why?
can't put songs into my itunes and my iphone really bothering me!!!
please help.

I was certainly not flaming anyone. I was asking specific clarifying questions in an attempt to assist someone who's description of the problem was inadequate for me (and apparently anyone else) to make any recommendations. Even your interpretation really doesn't give enough information to really be useful. The country from which a file is downloaded shouldn't be relevant. If it is, we need to figure out what's different about it.
All in all, the post was kind of analogous to saying "My car used to work and now it doesn't". An accurate statement as far as it goes but not sufficient for a mechanic to even know where to start.
I am looking forward to hearing your possible solution to the problem.
Best of luck.

2nd Computer at Vacation home...can I load songs from I-POD to ITunes?

As I understand it, my IPOD is designed to put the tunes on the IPOD that are on the ITUNES program on the computer.
What I want to do is to make the ITUNES on the new computer match the songs on my IPOD...in other words copy the tunes from the IPOD to the empty ITUNES program on the new computer.
Can that be done? Thanks for your help.

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

How can you transfer songs from a computer to another?

here's the problem
my old computer shorted out and was beyond repair
so i have a new one. but, there was about 100$ worth of music on the old one
so...my question is: how can i get my songs back?
(remember, my old computer is worthless)

1 do you have backups?
2 do you have your songs on an iPod? It is possible to copy music from you iPod to your PC, but you have to do it right or the files can get deleted from the iPod. Don't allow your iPod to sync with iTunes on the new PC.
3 Although your old PC may be fried, it is possible that the disk drive still works. If the drive is OK you can purchase a Drive Enclosure and use the old drive as an external HD on your new PC. If that works your should simply be able to copy your msuic files across.

Loading songs from one computer to iPod on another computer

I've been using iTunes for some time and, having just about filled up my iBook's hard drive, I transferred my iTumes music to a big ole Windows computer that sits in my closet. It's on the same network and I can play its music on my iBook. Just fine. But the music on the Windows box can't be transferred onto the iPod (plugged into the iBook). The obvious solution of plugging the iPod into the Windows machine isn't convenient, since it's in the closet, and I don't want to go back there.
Is there a simple solution?
Thanks

hello there rockofan87 =^_^=
from what i know if you wanna remove 10.5 for the mbp you wanna do a manual back up of your files (music, movies, pics, docs) then use your 10.4 disk that came with it and do an erase and install. this will only work if the leopard disk you have is a RETAIL copy.

Itunes copied my files from my portable harddrive to my new computer harddrive on a new computer. I didn't want that, but didn't realize I did it. How do I fix this so I can delete the songs from my computer harddrive and use the songs from the portable

On my new computer I installed Itunes. I wanted Itunes to use my portable harddrive for music, but instead it copied my library to the hard drive of my computer, filling it almost full. I didn't realize this happened until I synced my iphone to Itunes. How do I fix this? I want to delete the library from my hard drive of my computer, and use the library from my portable hard drive.
