Getting my itunes library to my iphone

just need to know if i am syncing right?  i want to sync my itunes library to my iphone, it says if i sync it will remove and replace everything on the phone with the music library, is it just talking about the music? its not going to erase my whole phone software and data is it? 

The only way the whole iPhone software or iOS can be deleted is by restoring the iPhone with iTunes, not by syncing an iPhone with iTunes.
You can manually manage music and videos or sync music and videos, you can't do both at the same time. When switching from one option to the other, the iPhone will be erased of all music and video first.
Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes on this computer before? If so, do you currently have manually manage music and videos selected? Is there any iTunes music, movies, tv shows, or 3rd party apps on your iPhone that is not in your iTunes library?

    My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?  Help!!!

    Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
    To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
    Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup.

    I just had to get a new hard drive in my laptop- How do I get the music from my itunes library on my iphone back onto my apple laptop?

    Your music will not magically appear anywhere.  It will only be where you put it.
    You need to copy your music from the old computer to the new one.
    Use your backup copy of your computer.
    Type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar.  You will find instructions there.

  • How can I get my itunes library into my Iphone?

    I have manged to sync my Iphone with macbook pro laptop, however, my Itunes library hasnt transferred from my laptop to my Iphone: iphone's itunes library only contains a few purchases.

    How did you try to sync your music (and you are looking in the Music app on your phone, not the iTunes store app) ? You should be able to sync music by connecting your phone to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen using the Music tab to select which of your music library to have in your iPhone's Music app.

  • How do i get my iTunes library to be showing the same playlist and songs that are on my iPhone 4s.

    How do I get my iTunes library to show the same playlist order and songs order as what is on my iPhone 4s.

    Drag it to an external drive or directly to the other computer, and if needed, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and choose that library. If it contains rented movies, those won't play on the desktop Mac.

  • I've lost 3/4 of my music on my iphone 4s during synchning with itunes and why can i get my itunes' library downloaded on my iphone instead of having to synch with itunes .

    help me i've lost 3/4's of my music on my iphone4s while synching and why can't i download my itunes library onto my iphone? i've tried and can't find a way. i've gone to itunes music section and checked off the artist, was that wrong? this working all so well before upgrading to ios6. what's going on?

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Getting my iTunes library into the cloud

    Hi,
    I have a large iTunes music library (about 280GB), much of it made up of rips from my CDs or transcriptions of LPs.  Many of these items are not in the iTunes store.  Is there some way to get my iTunes library into the cloud and have the cloud version be the iTunes target library on my MacBook Pro, my iPhone and iPad?  What alternatives to iCloud are there that would work for this purpose?
    Thanks!

    You didn't read the link I posted did you?
    "iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 26 million songs in the iTunes Store, chances are your music is already in iCloud.3 And for the few songs that aren’t, iTunes uploads what it can’t match (which is much faster than uploading your entire music library)."

  • How do I get my iTunes music from my iPhone to my new MacBook?

    I had a PC that supported my iTunes library for my iPhone but now I have a MacBook Pro and I would like to have my iTunes on my new MacBook synced with my iPhone. I don't know how to do that without wipping my iPhone of its iTunes data. Also, my previous laptop is dead and will not start up even when plugged in. Help?

    Well really the best way would have been to copy the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new.  Failing that, the backup you keep against just such failures.  You cannot rely upon Apple to provide a backup service for you.  The media rights owners could just as easily decide tomorrow to no longer allow multiple downloads again, or they could pull an item from the store and it would not be available to anybody.  There's no replacement for a proper backup and a $100 external drive is peanuts compared to value most people place on their iTunes collections..

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do I move music from my iTunes library to my iPhone?

    iTunes 12 is certainly a different UI from before.  Previously, there was an icon of my plugged-in iPhone in the upper right corner of the UI to which I could drag items I wanted to transfer to my phone - movies, music, etc.
    That's gone.  I'm seeing my iTunes library, and the iTunes store, but no references at all to my iPhone 6 that's plugged in.
    So, how do I now transfer items from my iTunes library to my iPhone???

    You can connect your iPhone (wired) to you Mac and in iTunes an iPhone-icon will appear right next to the three dot in the white top bar. It will also appear in the sidebar you can open by clicking on the playlistsbutton right next to My Music. If you click on your iPhone in the sidebar all folders on the iPhone will be unfolded and you can drag and drop music from you library to you iPhone (as shown in the screenshot below).
    If you click on the iPhone icon in the white bar, you get the screens to manage the content of you iPhone and synchronize.
    PS: the iPhone should appear wireless as well, but does not most of the time. This is a bug. I expect it to be solved in the next update. Until then we must work wired.
