How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

Are you getting any error messages? How is your iPod set to update? If you are trying to drag songs to it make sure it's in manual update mode and not set automatically update.
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

But there's no maroon 5. :-(

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.

I can't put songs onto my new iPod Nano

I previously had a 30G iPod but replaced it with an 8G nano and now I can't put any songs from iTunes onto my new iPod. I have over 10G in my library and thought it would be as easy as clicking a button to deselect all songs and then selecting only the ones I now want to add into my iPod.
When I attach the nano to a USB, I get a welcome message saying I can do 1 of 2 things and then I hit "continue" then this message comes up that iTunes is accessing the store and that doesn't go away.
I am not sure what to do...Please help!

Hey there Shea 9! I'd recommend taking a look at the following article
The New User's Guide to iPod Nano I linked you directly to step 3 to fill your iTunes and iPod with music.
If you have any other problems try and be a little more specific as to what you are trying to do or what kind of error message you get.

Cant put songs on New nano

Hey guys!
I just got a 1gb iPod nano. I've been getting 2 error messages since I've been trying to put songs onto to it. When I plug the nano into my computer and start up Itunes, i get this message
"Songs on the ipod Jenn's Ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
And when I actually am able to drag and drop one of my playlists into my ipod, I get this message,
"The Ipod Jenns ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to"
But the ipod is connected to the computer...it charges and everything. I have the latest version of iTunes and I have tried the 5 R's. But they haven't helped. I'm just confused and I'm hoping someone out there can help. THanks for your help!

You'll need to be connected to a Wi-Fi source in order for the Photos to download to your iPod Touch.
For more help and information, see the Photos chapter of your iPod's User Guide.

I Can't Put Songs Onto My iPod Touch!

whenever i go onto iTunes and try to put songs onto my iPod using the click and drag method i get this message - 'the iPod "George's iPod" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to'. What can i do? Please, anyone, even a guess will do...
By the way i have the latest version of iTunes and the latest system thing on my Touch.

I have seen this article listed on many requests for help. I have tried these fixes but the iTouch will get about 200 songs into the sync and then will give the same message. I have successfully synced the iTouch to my laptop (Vista system)but that is not the primary computer for the touch. Are there any other ideas/solutions?

Can i transfer songs to my nano while it charges for the first time?

I just got a nano today for christmas and i have just installed iTunes and my nano is currently charging in it's dock and has a sign flashing on it saying do not disconnect. But i don't know wheather it is wise to start trying to load songs into the nano just now when it is still charging for the first ever time!? Is it ok to do this?

All I can say is give it a try if you want - but it's certain not the recommended way of handling it. It only takes a few hours to charge the Nano the first time - why not do that and then transfer the songs?

I can't put songs from my other computer on my ipod

I have 2 computers in my home (the family one and mine) and my computer I have downloaded like 80% of my itunes music from, but the cd-rom doesn't work for some reason. I want to get my cds on my ipod too (itunes doesn't have most of the music I have in cds, so I can't rebuy them... don't want to either. I'm low on money) and the family computer doesn't let me put my imported music on there. When I plug it in the family computer, it gives me an option to keep the songs on my ipod that I already have on there and erase all the stuff that are on my ipod and use only that computer to put stuff on my ipod. If I use the first one, I can't put stuff from the family computer on there. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!!!
When the window comes saying "The ...iPod is synced with another iTunes library...do you want to..." Just hit cancel. Your iPod is now set to "manually manage movies and songs"
Now you can drag and drop whatever songs you want onto your iPod. I would go ahead and set the setting on the other computer to "manually manage..." also in order for it not to erase the songs you put on there from the other computer.
You can go to Devices>iPod>Settings There are four options toward the bottom of the page. One of those is "manually...." Check that box.

Can you use two ipods on one itunes account. It let me transfer my purchases, but can i put songs that are on one ipod onto the other that are already on my itunes?

i had an ipod classic and used it for a few years until i got an iphone.
Now I want to return to use it to fit all my songs on, however i now use a different itunes on a different computer.
It let me transfer all my purchases, but won't let me put the songs on that i downloaded from albums, and it won't let me put songs onto it that are on my iphone.
do i have to redownload all the songs again, or is there a simple method to solve this?

In my phone i can't put songs

I cannot put songs in my iphone 4s it always sync but not complet anything and i do not get the songs please help me as soon as possible.
thank you !!!!

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!
