How can I load an album onto my iPhone?

I downloaded a free album onto my Mac. It contains 2 songs (MP3). They are showing up correctly in my Mac music library and play nicely, but they're not in my iPhone music library. The album was not available thru the iTunes Store; I got it from a website. FWIW, I have an iCloud account, I use ITunes Match, I synced my iPhone, but I don't know how to get the album onto my iPhone. What am I missing?

I found the problem: iTunes Match (in the Store menu of iTunes) was not turned on. Perhaps it got turned off in an update, tho I'm not sure. Anyhow, I turned it back on, and all is well. The album in question is now available on my iPhone.

  • How can i get a CD onto my iPhone from my computer?

    I Just got a new CD and i loaded it onto my computer (its on iTunes) and when i plug my iPhone in it wont automatically download the CD. How can i get it onto my iPhone?

    Hello there, justinlove143.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides the how-to steps for syncing your music to your iPhone:
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    To sync via USB:
    Sync using USB
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.)
    Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • HT1386 How can I sync itunes songs onto my iphone? Using ios 6.1.3 and itunes 11.0.4.4

    When I connect my iphone to itunes (USB) I am prompted to set up new iphone, or restore from back-up. I've already restored from back-up. I can't sync or manage my iphone with itunes now.
    Background info: I have recently been forced to update the operating system on my iphone - the contact, pictures and most apps restored just fine. But I cannot copy the music back onto my iphone. When I plug in the phone to sync with itunes I am now prompted to set up a new phone or restore from back up. I have already restored from back up and don't need these options any more.
    The syncing instructions I read show screen shots of itunes that I can no longer get to. Any syncing options I can find are greyed out and unusable.
    How can I place music onto my iphone?

    I appreciate your comment however, I sold my iPhone 4 and therefore cannot see how it synched before. What I do know is that I was not using the iCloud with the iPhone 4 and when Ireceived the iPhone 5 in the mail, I took it to the local Apple Store for some user education... The person in the store set this up.
    I have been an iphone user since the first phone was selling. I love the product and this issue is troublesome to me.
    I do wish that this problem would have been brought to my attention prior to purchasing. I waited weeks for delivery of the phone and thought I was advancing into the the future, not reversing in time.
    Looks like I have to re-create about 300 notes by hand!  UGH!

  • My husband and I have two different itunes accounts but would like to share our music. how can i load his music to my iphone

    How can My husband and I share music we have purchased through the itunes store?  We each have an itunes account.  I have turned on home sharing but do not know how to save his music (which was originally my music) to my iphone.  Thanks!!

    If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.
    The music must be on your computer.

  • How can i put my dvds onto my iphone

    I've recently wanted to save some space by putting some of my DVDs into iTunes and onto my iPhone 4.  I know that you can put CDs into your computer to put into iTunes and I was wanting to do the same with some of my DVDs.  Is there a way that I could legally do this or not.

    Well first you would need a couple of programs to do that on your computer. First you would need a program like any-dvd that de-encrypts the dvd so it can be ripped. Second you need an MPEG4 encoding program to convert the dvd to a format the iphone and itunes can understand. Then you can add it to itunes and then sync it to your iphone.

  • How can I load this album art? Artwork tab does not display.

    If I place the cursor on one of the items in a compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get Info", I get this message: "Are you sure you want to edit info for multiple items?" If I click "Yes," nothing happens (I can't add the cover), and there is no "Artwork" tab at the top. The "Summary" page says "There is no album artwork" (greyed out).
    If I place the cursor on one of the items in this compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get album artwork", I get a message saying Apple can't find it. But I placed the artwork for this particular album in my "Album Artwork" folder.
    Any suggestions on how I can get the album art to display for this compilation? Thanks!

    Are these wav files by any chance? These don't support a tagging system. iTunes can associate iTMS art with wav files when it's available/recognised, but as there is no tag the information cannot be embedded in the files so iTunes doesn't support adding art to wav files.

  • Can't load my ringtone onto my iPhone

    I downloaded a ringtone from the iTunes store. Iat is currently loaded in my Music library. How do I get it into my Tones library so that I can get it loaded on my iPhone?

    If it is not in the tones section, then it is not yet a tone.
    You would have to create the tone.
    Google will find several free ways to do this.

  • How can I delete photo albums from my iphone

    I uploaded albums from computer to my iphone and now it's in there twice, one as the actual album and then the entire album is copied to my photo library. I dodn't need to have all the pics in 2 albums and I can't delete them individually.

    If I understand you correctly they are not in there twice your photo library is just everything on your phone, the photos albums and the photo library are just accessing the same picture.

  • How can I get my music onto my iphone 4S

    I hae just purchased an iphone 4s and can't seem to transfer my music from my computer to it.  Never had this problem with my old iphone 2.  Most of my music is CDs which I have transferred to itunes on my home computer (an imac, still running leopard)   when I open the music folder on the iphone 4s it just says I have no content and have to purchase music from itunes.  There is no ipod folder on the new iphone 4S like on my iphone.   I really want to get my music as I have some great stuff and don't want to purchase it all again from itunes.  

    The iPod app is now called "music".
    Is Apple ID set up on your phone and is your Mac still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
    Can you select the music in the music pane in iTunes, or is it grayed out?
    Any restrictions set in Settings/General/Restrictions?
