Cannot copy ANY songs from my PC to my iPhone 5

When I download a song to my pc, I can copy then paste to iTunes fine, but when I try to paste to my iPhone 5 it starts then just hangs forever. I did it twice with another song and the same thing happened. iOS 6.1, iTunes 11.0.1.12. Is this a problem others are having?

Hi
roaminggnome,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I was trying to transfer music files to my iphone. From my end i uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and it is working now, as am able to transfer the song.
Thanks again though

    You don't.  You sync your devices with itunes.

  • Can't copy itunes songs from macbook running tiger to iphone

    My Daughter just got an iPhone and wants to copy the songs she purchased on Itunes from her macbook to the iPhone to listen to and use as ringtones. The macbook is currently running tiger OS X 10.4.11. She said that once she plugged her iPhone into the macbook and brought up iTunes, she received a message that she needed to upgrade her current iTunes to "iTunes version 10.1". She then went to the apple website and clicked "download iTunes 10.1" and after clicking "install" got another message saying "Couldn't open 'Install iTunes.pkg'. This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5." Does anyone know of a possible workaround other than buying a new operating system?

    If your computer meets the requirements for Snow Leopard, you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & go straight to SL:

    Otherwise, you'd need a retail copy of Leopard.

  • How do I copy my songs from my mac to my iphone

    I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.0.2 and a PowerBook Pro running Mavericks. I have my music Library (files) stored on my MacBook. I would like to copy my music files from my MacBook to my iPhone. I've tried iTunes 11 sync and that does not move the files to my iPhone. I've tried going into the Settings on my iPhone and turning auto download of iTunes music purchases and that does nothing. I'm sure there is an easy way to copy my Music files from my Mac to my iPhone but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how ?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Connect the device to iTunes
    Select it in the left-hand column
    Select the Music tab
    Choose content to sync

  • I cant copy any songs to any playlists within my library

    My 5 year old likely did something that I can't find to fix this problem. I cannot copy any songs or an inserted cd into any playlists by highlighting and dragging to the playlist but if I ctrl-click and send to the playlist it will work.

    It worked when I quit itunes and did a restart.

  • Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

    What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone?  It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync.  But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
    I have the latest version of itunes
    Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
    all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
    THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
    Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music?  How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost?  How do I get it to sync?

    That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
    by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

  • I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? Any ideas :)

    I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing from the port? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? I used the headphones in the laptop for the first time yesterday and have had this problem ever since. Any ideas

    The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck.  Try inserting the earphone plug a few times.  If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.
    Ciao.

  • Can not copy any songs or videos from iTunes to iPhone after reinstall Windows 7

    I am experiencing trouble with my iPhone. I have to reinstalled my Windows 7 OS due to some trouble. When I reinstalled everything include iTunes back, it can not automatically back up my iPhone to iTunes like it used to. Also, I can not copy any songs and/or videos from iTunes to my iPhone. Fortunately, the application can be restored thanks to the new iTunes version.
    Does anyone know how could I restore all my previous services I got before the reinstallation? Help!!
    Many thanks..

    Did you create a backup of your music and videos before you reinstalled windows?

    Zapya.apk is an android app and will not work on an iOS device.

  • HT1296 I already have an itunes account on my laptop but have been setup on a mac and have songs that have not been purchased from the itunes store, I cannot get the songs from my iPhone onto my itunes account on the mac. how can I do this?

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

    I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

    I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

  • How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB

    How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks

    If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
    If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.
