How do I put a single song, video, ringtone, podcast on my phone?

I just downloaded Mavericks and spent multiple hours talking to apple's tech who apparently doesn't know anything. I don't want to sync everything, I just want to sync 1 song, or one ringtone, or 1 of something without going through thousands of songs and checking/unchecking the ones I do or dont want before syncing. I've heard that you can no longer do a manual sync by plugging it in, and it seems to be that way, but appletech insists it isn't true. Please help me.

  • How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12

    How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?

    I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
    If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
    As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value.  You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
    That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
    You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly:

    how do i copy a single song to an ipod from a computer

    Hey rmanrussden,
    Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Adding just one song to a device is easy if you have the latest version of iTunes. The latest version of iTunes should have the option for Manually manage music and videos so all you would need to do, with your iPod shuffle plugged in, is drag and drop the song on top of your iPod shuffle. Take a look at the article below for more details if you need it.

  • How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    Hi lizdance40,
    The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that!  However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
    Thanks again,

  • HT2736 How can I gift a single song (i.e. not the whole album) to a friend?

    How can I gift a single song (i.e. not the whole album) to a friend?

    If you're trying to do this from an iOS device, you can't. You'll need to use iTunes on a computer to be able to give a single song. If you are using a computer, tell us what OS and iTunes it's running and where you're encountering difficulty and we'll try to help further.
    Regards.

    how do i use a purchased song as ringtone on iphone 5c

    Following are 2 sets of instructions on how to do it using iTunes:

    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/create-ringtones-from-your-itunes-library -and-add-them-to-your-iphone
    There are also a number of apps available. If you do an internet search for something like "iTunes ringtone maker" you should find a number of possibilities such as the following: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ringtones-for-iphone-ringtone/id380908399?mt=8  I've never used an app for that so can't give you any input on which one.

  • How do I put back the iphone purchased ringtone back to my iphone

    how do i put back the purchased iphone ringtone back to my iphone?

    You would have to buy it again.
    You should always backup your purchases.
    Sorry
    You only get one download of ringtones.
    You can try contacting itunes and asking for an exception.

  • IPhone 4s set to manually sync, but every time I try to put a single song on my phone it downloads my entire library. How do I sync individual songs without downloading entire iTunes library?

    I recently purged my iPhone 4S of most of its music because I didn't have enough gigabytes of free space to download the latest iOS (my phone was actually completely full). That ticked me off but I didn't have time for a backup. I transferred all purchases to my library and I deleted the music from my phone.
    Since then, I've been annoyed that I don't have all my music but I've been enjoying the free space that I have, so I prefer to restore songs from my library individually now, depending what I'm in the mood to hear, and I don't miss having a full phone.
    However, whenever I try to manually sync music that was ripped from a CD, music I didn't download from iTunes, but is playable in my iTunes library, iTunes thinks it has to download the entire library, which I don't even have the space for, anyway. However, my iPhone seems fine wirelessly (I have Home Sharing turned on) syncing individual songs which were purchased in the iTunes store.
    So whenever I try to sync a single song, or an album perhaps, which was not purchased on iTunes, I get the message "updating files on iphone" and it says it's copying all the thousands of songs in my entire library. But my settings are for manual sync only. I wind up cancelling the sync every time, because I would have to wait for it to finish copying thousands of songs before it got to the one I selected. Why on earth is it doing this?
    How do I regain the ability to sync a single song at a time?
    This has been exasperating me.

    While your iPhone is synching in iTunes, do the following:
    1.  Click on your iPhone's icon on the left.
    2.  Find and click on the "Tones" tab on the upper right of the iTunes display.
    3.  Choose the synch option you would like.

  • Used iPod Touch just purchased - how do I delete her old songs/videos?

    My son had an iPod nano [stolen] - and had an existing library of about 160 songs in iTunes. We just purchased a used Touch from a friend. When we plug it in, Itunes still has his "music library" but her name [Tiffany] comes up in DEVICES and when we click devices, it shows the bar meter as having her songs/videos in there still. How do we delete her data out, so we can load (only) my son's songs? Note that her LIBRARY (aka list of songs) doesn't show in iTunes, so we can't just click and delete them manually. He can, however, play her songs through the Touch...but he doesn't like the music and wants it gone.

    Hi,
    It should (I think) be a simple matter of restoring and then synching in iTunes, this wil remove anything on the iPod that is not in your library. You can find "Restore" on the summary page when the Touch is attached.
    If needs be, you can change the device name by clicking on said name in the right hand pannel.

  • How do you put lyrics onto songs that were imported from a cd?

    I put the One Direction CD on my computer and I would like to put the lyrics on the songs so I can read them on my phone. When I click get info there is no lyric tab like on the songs I have purchased of itunes. How do I put the lyrics on? Thanks !

    You'll need to import the tracks into your library first, then add lyrics via Get Info. one track at a time. Files in .wav format don't have tag support and can't take lyrics.

  • How do I put all my seperate video files into one DVD?

    Hey friends,
    Toby here again, thanks so much for giving me hint to the scroll bar, I've finished putting the audio into the video as well as the effects.
    Which means my movie's almost complete!
    However, while I await the music from my composers to be completed to put in the film for story-telling depth, I need help again.
    I have edited my movie into four seperate windows with this program, and I'm currently trying to figure out how I can put all of it together or all of it into one DVD because I need to watch and make sure the footage's video matches with the audio so it doesn't seem like a Godzilla dubbing or something.
    Give me as much suggestions as you could possibly give me, and thank you kindly for your time!
    -Toby

    Since you said DVD, I assume you're working in standard rather than hi-def video.
    As I show you in my books:
    1) Share/Computer/AVI with the DV preset to output each of your segments as a DV-AVI.
    2) Open a new project using the standard DV project settings.
    3) Import all of the segments and combine them on the timeline.
    Just as a note, a DVD can hold about 70 minutes of video at full quality. If you're video is longer than that, it's probably a good idea to spread it out over two or more discs.

  • How do I put my old song only on my iPod on my Itunes?

    I would like to know how to put my old songs I only got on my iPod on my iTunes .
    Thanks

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with 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 purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
