Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

How do I sync iTunes music on a Macbook Pro to a PC via iCloud?

I have a Macbook Pro with all my music files on - I have recently upgraded my software to iOS5 and I am running Lion.
I have synced my iphone to my Macbook Pro via iCloud, but I would also like to sync my wife's PC laptop (Windows Vista) to my Macbook Pro, again for the music files - I have downloaded iCloud and iTunes on her PC with my Apple ID.
I was wondering if anyone knows how I go about syncing these two devices as I can't fathom out how to do it!

You don't use iCloud for this. You do it with iTunes.
On your iPhone 4s you need to use the same Apple ID for the iTunes Stores that you use on your Macbook Pro. Your iCloud ID can be different for syncing calendars, mail, etc. but in the iTunes stores on your phone, it needs to be the same Apple ID that you bought the apps/music with.

How do I transfer my music from my macbook pro to my iPhone using iCloud

I have set up iCloud on my macbook pro and iPad2. But I cannot transfer all of my purchased apps and music to my iPad. I also cannot transfer my iTunes purchases from my macbook pro to my new iPhone 4S. How do I get iCloud to do this? Have I missed a step activating iCloud?

You don't use iCloud for this. You do it with iTunes.

How do I transfer photos/music between my MacBook Pro & Samsung S8000 Jet

With my new Samsung S8000 Jet mobile I was supplied with Samsung's PC Studio Application on disc for install on my laptop. However, this is only compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista PCs. When buying Samsung mobile I was clear in asking them if it would sync with itunes and they said yes, that I would be able to transfer music and photos files from my MacBook to phone via USB cable without the software they supply that is for Windoes only.
When I connect my mobile phone to laptop vis USB cable, the device does not even appear in the 'Finder'. Plus, even if it did, I;m not sure how I would go about transferring the files to and from the devices in both directions?
Not sure if this is my lack of user experience or I should go back to Samsung/Orange Retailer and ask them for assistance or tell them I've been mis-lead when purchasing?
Advice anyone?
Thanks
Gail

It's probably that they meant it was compatable with iTunes for windows, even so you could go to the retailer and ask for a refund

How do i clone iMac to my used macbook pro

using fire wire to my macbk pro how do i clone it from my imac so it is identical everything, dah thus clone

Since no one has answered, I’ll jump in.
I don’t know how to do this with FireWire but I can say how to migrate the data with a disk. When you are done this disk can be used as a backup disk for the MBP so it is not a wasted item.
From your signature I infer the iMac is currently running Mavericks and the MBP is running Lion and you want to upgrade the MBP to Mavericks as part of this process, copying over all the data, preferences, etc.
That is best done with a clean install on the MBP transferring the data either over FireWire or a cloned disk. I can speak to the disk method.
First, prepare the clone.
Use Disk Utility to format the disk Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a GUID partition.
If you need help see the instructions below.
Then you can purchase some cloning software (which you can continue to use for a good backup method) or you can use Disk Utility to create the clone. The software to purchase would be either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! I’ll give the instructions for using Disk Utility here in case you do not want to purchase those.
Formatting the external drive:
On the iMac:
Finder > Go > Utilities.
> Disk Utility.
Plug the external disk into the iMac.
Select that disk’s volume name.
> Partition
Partition Layout > 1 Partition
Name > Clone1
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
> Options > GUID Partition Table > OK
> Apply
Cloning onto the external drive with Disk Utility:
In the iMac:
> Disk Utility
> Restore
Drag the System Volume (often called Macintosh HD) into the Source: window.
Drag the external volume (Clone1) into the Destination: window.
> Restore
Wait until it finishes.
Clean Install:
On the MBP:
Boot the recovery partition. http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
> Disk Utility.
> Erase.
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Name: Macintosh HD
If it is an SSD do not write zeros to the SSD. Just skip to Erase…
If it is a disk:
> Security Options…
Select “Writes a single pass of zeroes over the entire disk”.
> OK
> Erase…
Wait until it finishes.
This will write to every block and map out bad blocks.
Install Mavericks on Macintosh HD.
Reboot from Macintosh HD.
Plug in Clone1.
When the installation instructions as from where you want to restore files, tell it from a disk and indicate Clone1.
Wait a while and you will have a freshly installed Mavericks system with all the data from the iMac.

How do you access numpad keys on a macbook pro retina (mid 2012) keyboard while using bootcamp and windows?

There are no function overlay for numpad on the keyboard and there are backlight controls where the numpad on/off was on previous macbook pro

Hello gerwintiemens,
I recommend resetting your SMC and your PRAM. Perhaps even a safeboot as well.

How do I access purchased music across all platforms?

Music previously purchased in iTunes is now in the 'music' app on my iPad mini. It's no longer on my iTunes playlist. How do I access this music on my MacBook air?

I am guessing you mean:
The iTunes application on your MacBook Air
The playlist entitled "Purchased" in iTunes on your MacBook Air
Make sure you are signed in to iTunes on your MacBook Air using the same Apple ID and password that you are using on your iPad.

My library will not let me access some tunes because they are tied to an Apple ID that is and old email address and that address is no longer valid. How do I access my music without the old password?

I can only access part of my Itunes library. Some of the music is tied to old Apple ID's that are email addressed that are not active. How do I access my music? I've tried everythign and been to the Apple store multiple times with no resolution. They suggested I call Apple support and have the security team assist. I can't get a hold of anyone in security and both times I called support they hung up on me mid conversation? Very nice...

Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off. If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password.

How do I access the music from my Mac drive while booted into Windows?

How do I access the music from my Mac drive while booted into Windows via Bootcamp? I tried using MacDrive but it's not supported for Vista 64-bit edition. Is there another program out there that I can use? I just want to be able to access my music that's on Leopard while in Vista. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to move the music on the Windows side since Leopard will be able to read and play the music from the mounted Windows drive (Leopard will not be able write anything to the Windows NTFS partition).
In your case it won't work the other way around.

How do I access Your Music on the iPad app?

I mostly listen to albums, not playlists.
I used to keep all my saved albums on Spotify as playlists - but following the update I re-saved them all as saved albums under 'Your Music' (on the new desktop app for OS X) and deleted my old playlists (assuming I wouldn't need them anymore).
This was fine on my iPhone as now I can access my saved albums under the 'Your Music' However, I then tried this on my iPad and couldn't find a way to access 'Your Music' at all?

How can I access my music in the iCloud?

how can i access my music from my itunes on my Mac, on my Mc book pro?

There isn't currently any iCloud music streaming, if that what you mean.
iTunes Match will be coming, probably late October, early November. That will provide streaming.
If your just talking about music you bought on, say, your iPhone and want it to appear on your Mac, go into iTunes preferences (on your Mac), click the "Store" icon and make sure that Automatic Downloads are turned on. That will keep your Mac iTunes library up to date when you buy on your iDevice.
If you've got older stuff that you need to download, you can go into your Purchased section in iTunes and click on "Download Previous Purchases" which should show you everything you've bought. You can re-download from there.
