How do I add 3 songs from iTunes to my iPhone

how do I add 3 songs from iTunes to my iPhone
there are 3 songs in my iTunes on my MBP that I need listen to on the way to a gig where I am going to play them.
I only want these three songs on my phone, not lynk, or synk my library.
Please advise and I hope all the horrible things I've read abou music and iPhone and iTunes will no allow this to happen
PS, no i don't have a cd player in my car!!!

When you sync your phone with your laptop (or other device that has the songs you want), go into your music preferences and choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres." This should allow you to select the three songs you want from your library. Make sure to click or tap on "apply" or else the changes will not be saved. Let the phone completely sync and those three songs should be in your phone's music library.
Hope this helps!

  • How can I get songs from iTunes onto my iPhone

    Help!  I just downloaded the new update onto my 3gs and I can't sync the songs in iTunes BACK onto my iPhone....

    I'm having similar problems. going from an iphone used on a different computer to a new mac is extremely difficult. In order to add those songs that have been "skillfully acquired" requires the owner to "erase and sync" everything from the iphone. Not only that, I have bought hundreds of songs from iTunes (they have a lot of my money) and I have problems now when i purchase a song from my mac that does not auto. sync to my phone. it requires me to manually download the song itunes app on the phone in the purchased section.
    I love Apple, no other computer or mobile device - in my opinion - can compare. However, these added securities and the red tape found in iTunes is frustrating and inconveniencing.

  • How do you add songs from iTunes 11 that is not the main synced library to an old 80GB classic iPod?

    My boyfriend and I found his old 80GB iPod classic in his stuff. I synced it to my Macbook Pro. I was then trying to sync all his music from his iMac onto the iPod so that the iPod contained both libraries, but in the iTunes 11 I cannot manually drag and drop all the music onto the iPod. I could've with the other devices on the computer but not the iPod Classic. Is it just too old? How can I put all our music onto this one iPod?

  • How to sync downloaded songs from itunes to my iphone without using my computer

    didn't work...What am i doing wrong?... or not doing... thanks

    If you have downloaded the free track on your pc, then you cannot re-download it on your iPhone.
    Yes you can, as of yesterday.  I did it myself earlier today.
    its available in the US only at the moment.
    The OP is in the US.
    Open the iTunes app on your iPhone, tap the Purcahsed button and all your purchases songs will appear and be available for download.

  • How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes

    How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

    Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
    Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

    Hey Adel Andic,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. If your music is already in iTunes, all you have to do is sync your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac by following these instructions, and you should be able to easily get your music on there:

  • How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

    How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

    You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
    HOWEVER.....
    Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
    Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
    it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

    To connect my ipod to itunes with windows 8 not see the option to add to add songs from itunes library. As I can solve this?

    Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.
