Downloading music from iTunes library section to my iPhone?
Hi. I've uploaded some of my CDs to iTunes thinking I could then download them to my iPhone to listen to but when I connect my iPhone to iTunes i cannot find the library section anywhere. Can anyone give me advice on this?
You've got those songs in the music part of your computer's iTunes ? Unless you've subscribed to iTunes Match then you will need sync that music to your phone, you won't be able to download it directly on your phone.
You can sync your music to your phone by connecting the phone to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) - the phone should show under 'devices' on that sidebar.
Then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen there should be a series of tabs, one of which is Music :
Select that tab and you can then select which of your computer's iTunes music library to sync to your phone's Music app.

Can't download music from iTunes or App Store on iPhone
I have an original iPhone, and it has worked great from day one. However, recently I have noticed that I cannot download music or apps from the iTunes/App Store directly to my iPhone.
I choose a song or app to download, the download begins and then I get a message that the download cannot be completed until the next time I sync with iTunes on my computer.
When I sync to my computer, the download is completed.
This did not happen when the iTunes Store first became available, just started recently, but before the last iPhone software update.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?Most purchases are immediate. I'd try making a purchase on your computer and see if this problem persists. If it does, you may want to update your billing info (like if the CC expired)
You could also try signing out of your Apple ID by going to Settings<App Store<Sign out. And then sign back in, and see if the same issue happens. -
How to download music from itunes in the cloud to iphone in one step
Hi, after having software Problems, i set up my Iphone again. Now, the following problem exists:
All music, I have bought beforehand from Itunes is shown with a cloud symbol so that I could download the music easely from itunes in the cloud again. I tried to load this music by connecting the iphone with my PC, but it is still shown with the cloud symbol. I am not using icloud!
It is too much music to download it this way (pushing the symbol on the phone). Can anybody tell me another way? How can I bring my music to my Iphone again???If your music has a cloud icon means the music is not on your iPhone/computer iTunes locally.
You can download the music through Purchased tab then sync your iPhone with the music selected. -

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

i am downloading music from itunes it shows on my purchased playlist but when i try to transfer it onto a specific playlist it won't transfer across what do i need to do
When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

I am trying to download music from itunes store. it does not however give me that option on the top of the screen. I can only get apps, books, podcasts and itunes u. No option for movies or music
In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

I downloaded music from iTunes years ago and haven't accessed it since. How do I get back into my account? Thanks.
If you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, and they are still in your country's store and you haven't moved countries since buying them, then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for redownloading, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. If not all show there then check to see if you've hidden any of them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
If they are no longer in the store or you've moved countries then do you have a copy of them anywhere ? If you still have the iPod with them on then you can connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your iTunes library so that you can take a backup copy and sync them to your iPad. -
How do you download music from itunes on pc to itunes on mac
how do you download music from itunes on pc to itunes on mac
If both computers are on the same network, you could just mount the Windows machine and drag and drop the songs from the PC to your Mac, and then add them to your Mac iTunes Library by importing.
That's the simplest way I know...

Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches
My computer with iTunes which my itouch was synced to crashed, literally died. I threw it out and had no back-up so lost everything on it (still don't know how to make backup). I bought a new computer, re-downloaded iTunes and my several days worth of music is now gone except for a few songs purchased so I am re-downloading my CDs which is a time consuming pain.
Here's my problem. My itouch only has one album on it (Chris brown's F.a.m.e.). I finally want to transfer my iTunes music to my itouch in case my computer crashes again and to listen to it there too which I hadn't done in the past. When I synched my itouch to iTunes it says I have to erase everything on my itouch first since I've never synched it to the iTunes on this computer before even though it is under my same exact account. This is do unreasonable and stupid. I have tons of pictures, videos, emails and apps I've been using my 64GB itouch exclusively for. My iTunes account is registered to this itouch and there's no way I want to delete everything on it years worth just to have access to synch to iTunes. Makes no friggin sense to me. I purchased a new itouch so I can download the music onto that. I've already spent hours and hours over a couple weeks every free moment downloading my CDs to iTunes. Before I crack open the new itouch, is it going to let me download my music onto it or only to my old itouch whose content I do not want to erase?? I'm frustrated is an extreme understatement as to how I am feeling. Any suggestions? Can I unregister my old itouch and register the new one to iTunes...WITHOUT having to delete all the music I've already downloaded? Can I download onto both my itouches since everything will be registered to me? Or do I also have to buy another computer, download a second iTunes, register the new itouch or ??1. My computer crashed. I smelled smoke, it no longer turned on, nobody was able to retrieve anything on it. It went in the trash with all my data on it - pictures, itunes, documents etc. I had never made a back up.
2. I purchased a brand new Dell computer. I re-installed iTunes using my same username/password as the itunes I had on my old computer. All the days worth of music (non-purchased) were gone. I was told through a paid call by apple that I have to re-install all the non purchased items (my CDs) but they showed me how to bring over my purchased music.
3. I spent hours and hours and hours re-installing all my CDs, several days worth of music. I then synched my itouch, and it is telling me that it detected a new computer, that it has to first erase everything on the itouch in order to synch and transfer the music onto it.
4. I don't want to erease all the content on my itouch - pictures, videos, emails, etc. etc. Have had it for a while and not something I want to do.
5. I purchased another 64GB itouch so I can synch that one instead.
6. I haven't removed it from the box yet. My question is "Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches." If I crack open the box and synch the brand new itouch to the itunes on my new computer, registered to my old itouch, will it work? Will it synch and download the music to that device so that I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch - wich is not an option for me. I don't want to delete everything on it. I bought a new itouch so I won't have to delete everything and transfer it onto that. The itunes on my new computer is already registered to my old itouch. Had I known I'd have to delete everything to synch, I would've not used my old username/password, would have created a new one, a new account so I could sync it to my new itouch which I shelled out the money on just so I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch. So my question again - can I synch this second brand new itouch to the itunes on my compouter? I don't want to remove it out of the original packaging and find out the hard way only to then not be able to return it to the store. ANd if I can't and I don't want to delete everything on my old itouch, am I screwed and no longer able to use itunes? -
I can no longer download music from itunes store. It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist. I tried to download more than one at a time. It stopped. Now I cant download at all. Even rebooted my machine.
OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture
