Copy music from computer to iphone

How do you transfer music purchased in Itunes from your PC to your Iphone? This was much easier to do with earlier versions of Itunes than the current version.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Its done exactly the same way as it was before. What are you finding different about it.

Copy music from Nano to IPhone

I want to know how to copy music from my nano to my IPhone and my laptop. I have 7 gb of music on my Nano and would like it on all 3 devices.

Here’s how:
Connect your iPod — Warning! if iTunes loads when you plug in your iPod, and is set to automatically sync your entire library (erasing your iPod), you MUST stop it — hit the little “X” in the upper right hand corner of the window.
Open your iPod — It should show up on “My Computer” as a “Mobile Device”; right click and choose “Explore”. Alternatively, go to the Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, and double-click your iPod.
Unhide the files — By default, Windows hides hidden files and folders (thus the name). Go to Options (in the Tools menu), and on the View tab, check “Show Hidden Files and Folders”.
Find the Music — The music is stored (in current iPods) in the directory “\iPod_Control\Music”. This may have a lot of odd looking stuff in it — it doesn’t matter; select everything and drag and drop them to a folder on your hard drive.
Configure iTunes — Go into iTunes Preferences, and under the Advanced tab, check “Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to the library” (settings move around a bit between versions of iTunes, but these settings will be there somewhere).
Add Your Files — In iTunes, select File, Add Folder to Library, and select the folder where you copied the files from your iPod. Alternatively, just drag and drop this folder onto iTunes
OR
just search google for a program to rip the music from your ipod

Copy Music From Computer

Hello,
This may sound silly to some people out there but I want to know how to copy music from my computer to my new Nokia 6120 classic. I just give it a try but when I go to 'copy this file', then highlight the 'E' drive, which is where my phone is plugged into, I get the following folders that I can copy to; images, private, resource, shared, sys & system. Which file do I copy to or am I doing something wrong?
KenFox.

Microzode,
Thank you for the advice, it worked a treat. Now I can copy and set my favourite songs as ringtones rather than using the tones that come with the phone.
With what I do for a living I thought I would have been able to work this one out, thank god for people like you who are willing to offer their advice.
Once again thank you.
Kenfox.

COPY MUSIC FROM IPOD TO IPHONE

How can I get my music from my ipod to my iphone?Also calendar, photos etc

Music: If it's not already on computer iTunes, you need a 3rd party tool to transfer the music from iPod to computer. Syncing is one way only Computer -> iPod, iPhone, iPad (Exception: music purchased directly from iTunes using Apple devices can transfer without 3rd party tool).

How to transfer music from computer to iphone without deleting existing iphone purchases

I am putting CDs into iTunes on a home computer (PC) and I want to put that music onto my iPhone.
But the only option seems to involve deleting all my iPhone music, which includes purchases that I have recently made which I cannot synch to my computer.

Syncing music does at least two things.
1. It can add to the device any music that is resident on the computer that is used for the sync
2. it can add any music from the mobile device to the computer if both are logged in (and authorized) to the same account that purchased the music.
By the description in your post, I suspect that some music is on the device that was purchased with different Apple ID than the computer is authorized to.

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 )

Copy music from my old iphone to my new iphone

Looks like iTunes won't actually save the music and video files, including playlists in the back-up and implement in the restore proceedure. Re-typing all the playlists and copying files manually is a pain, and I don't trust iTunes to manage this within the iTunes Library. Good way to move music, including playlists, into the new phone?

Hi Templeton: Thanks for reply. When I do back-up of old phone, and respore to new phone, that works but it does not do anything with music or video files. iTunes seems to only copy music and videos one way (unless purchased via Apple). I could create separate iTunes music playlists and then do synch as you have stated, but is not what I was asking. I prefer not to have iTunes manage my data (don't trust apple on upgrades) and don't really want to keep 2 copies (one protected and one for iTunes library). Thanks.

Copy document from computer to Iphone e-mail this document from iphone

My only internet is my iphone. I want to use it to e-mail files I work on on my desktop mac. I tried downloading diskaid, and while I can copy files to the iphone, I can't access these files from the iphone. Can anyone please help? I also want to be able to use the iphone to download files to my computer, such as software updates.

If your phone is your only internet, you're out of luck. From the Dropbox description: +"This app works with the Dropbox service, and is not intended as a stand-alone product."+ In other words, you'd need to upload files to the Dropbox server from your computer (requiring an internet connection), then you could access them from the phone, and email them from there.
Does your computer have Wi-Fi? If so, you can create a computer-to-computer network on the computer, connect your iPhone to that, and use another app like Files or File Magnet to transfer the file(s) like Word docs to your iPhone, then email them from there.
But, it sounds like what you really need is a tethering solution, which allows you to use your cell phone as a modem for your computer. AT&T does not currently support tethering for the iPhone, although they do for other phones.

Not authorized to transfer music from computer to iphone?

I have 2 iphones. Mine is synced to my laptop and my wife's as been synced to her laptop but it identifies her phone as mine (on her laptop)-now mine was never synced on her laptop, thats the first problem. Second problem, I have an account with itunes which is accessed by my wife on her computer and also accessed by me on my laptop using the same password. When we download songs to the laptops and try to send them to the iphones by syncing to the laptops we both get a message telling us that we are not authorize to do this on each of our computers. She downloads songs to her laptop and I download songs to my laptop and then to each iphone respectively (well, at least we tried). I do not sync from her computer and she does not sync from my computer-we keep both separate. Why are we not authorized to upload to the iphone and what do I need to do to fix this. Thanx. ailimac

Dah on me, I never tried to play the songs -just tried to upload to iphone. After reading your reply I tried playing them on the laptops and I was asked to put in a password. Problem solve everything is going to where it should. Thanks alot.

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

When I copy music from iTunes to iPhone 6, it's showing that its copied (In iTunes) but it's greyed out.

The picture sums up my issue hopefully. The files play fine in iTunes which is what is baffling me?

Why has no one replied to this question (asked loads of times by different people) Whats the solution!!!!!! Help!!!!

How do you transfer music from pc to iphone 5

how do you transfer music from a PC to an IPhone 5

I usually use iTunes to transfer music from iPhone to computer. But to transfer music from computer to iPhone back, I use iPhone Transfer. With these two apps, I easily manage all my songs and playlists.

How can I copy music from iTunes to a 2nd iPhone 5?

I have my own iPhone 5 that i have synced and set up with my itunes on my macbook pro. My wife recently got an iphone 5 (thru her work) that i want to copy music from my itunes library to her phone. We share the same itunes acct and she is able to make purchases with it and download songs that i have purchased via itunes to her phone. I would like to manage and copy over addiontal music (most of which i had bought on my own and imported into itunes) and copy playlists etc to her phone.
She has not synced her phone to my (or any) computer. When i hook up her iphone to my macbook and open itunes, it prompts me to "set up new iphone" either as a brand new phone or from a backup. can i get around this, so i can manage the music on her iphone without deleting and "setting up from scratch her phone"? I have read that i can manually manage everything on her phone separately from my phone... so her apps aren't on my phone and vice versa? I really just want to put my music on there.
I have heard of some other apps (ie songbird) but prefer to keep everything working under itunes.
Thanks

Not brand new... New to that Mac's iTunes. For registration if you will...
Setup the iPhone as a new device to get past the initial part. iTunes will know that the device is already set up and you can go from there.

It's been a while that Im unable to copy music from itunes to my iphone. I updated my device to the latest version of IOS 5.1.1 and made sure no jailbreak is installed but still not working. please assist.

Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
You are using the latest version of iTunes
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.
