Error: cannot transfer music or ringtones to iphone

I have had my iphone for over a year and all of a sudden after purchasing new music and purchasing a ringtone from that song, it won't let me copy it to my phone becasue is is not authorized to play on it.
I tried syncing the ringtones and it deleted all of my music and now won't let me put music on my iphone. If I drag and drop nothing happens.
Can you help.

Hi michiganiphone,
Make sure the computer is authorized, try playing the ringtone and songs in iTunes.
If the issue persists after playing the songs in iTunes, try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389

    I'm having the same problem. I've got 1.43gb of free space on my 2gb card, but I can't move any more music as it says the memory is full. Is it possible that the 2gb card is partitioned? If so, how do I access the next partition? Anyone know? Sally

    Very vague.
    Perhaps if you gave some information, any at all, someone could help.

  • ? after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc, cannot transfer music files to iphone 4s

    after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc windows 7, i cannot transfer music from pc to iphone 4s

    When I try to "drag and drop" a song, it just does not allow me to do it (circle with line thru it). I should also mention that I just changed PC's as well.  I tsnsferred all of the music files from the hdd of the old to the new. After reading some of the other posts, I think this might have more to do with the problem than the switch to itunes 10.6.3?

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

    Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
    If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

  • HT1420 how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes library , but not working

    I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes but its not working

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • I cannot transfer music to a new Ipod I receive

    I cannot transfer music from my itunes to my ipod

    If you want to use automatic syncing, which is the best way to load content on an iPod, here's how to do it.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary.  Next to Summary, find and click on the Music.  This screen is the Music tab where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to your iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your entire music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then...
    Below that, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, your selection syncs to the iPod.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod, when you connect it (or click the Sync button).
    Here's one easy way to set it up.  In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  From your main iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with the songs you want on the iPod.  On the iPod's Music tab, select ONLY that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists).  When you click Apply, those songs sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that iPod Songs playlist (add and/or remove songs) in iTunes and connect your iPod.
    To load other types of content, such as podcasts and audiobooks, set up the other "tabs."

  • I cannot transfer music to my ipod.

    My ipod and itunes is updated but I still cannot transfer music from my library to my ipod. I copy the selected music but there is never an option to -paste- it to my ipod. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Is this it?

  • I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Ipod

    I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Ipod, i can see my Ipod, and I tried to drag and drop but it wont work

    Make sure the "Sync Music Tab" is checked.  If it isn't, when you check it, it will prompt you that you can only sync to one iTunes library at a time.  The iPod will have to be erased to sync with the new library.
