How do I sync certain songs from Mac to iPhone?

I have a Mac and my husband and I both have iPhone's therefore we have a lot of music on our computer and I do not want to have it all on my phone.  I have tried in the past to pick and choose songs from the computer to the phone but I just can't seem to figure it out properly.  If you can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!

Make a playlist and sync that playlist to your iphone.

  • Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs.  What am I doing wrong?

    I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
    Where are the extra songs coming from?
    The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
    Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
    Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
    I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
    When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
    Uncheck the "Sync Music" box.  Accept the "Are You Sure ...".  That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right.  (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
    Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs.  Do what you like with them.
    Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply.  That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

  • How do i sync the songs from my iphone 4 to my laptop

    how do i sync the songs from my iphone 4 to my laptop it will sync photos and apps but wont sync songs i have bought

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle?

    How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle? After I have pressed Sync, the iTunes screen showed completed sync but nothing change in the i-Schuflle.
    Further the i Schuffle player has a voice saying I have to sync. But I did.
    Can anyone help?

    You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing.  If there is nothing new to sync, based on your sync settings in iTunes, the syncing process just starts and stops in a few seconds.
    Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there.  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle.  With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below.  If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection.  For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
    When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle.  Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).

    How do I load songs from my Mac to iphone 5?

    Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the screen to select and sync the music that you want on the iPhone's Music app.

  • How can i transfer my songs from iPod to iPhone

    how can i transfer my song library from ipod to my iphone 4?  the library on my computer from itunes is loaded with all my  kids songs so i'd just like to transfer the songs on my ipod.

    You cannot copy content from your iPod directly to your iPhone.  It needs to be copied from your iPod to an iTunes library first and then synced the iPhone.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

    Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
    Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
    - There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
    - I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
    - I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
    - Everything still plays in iTunes.
    - If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
    - I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
    - I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
    I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
    (I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

    After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
    They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!

  • How can I upload .pdf file from Mac to iPhone or is there an app for that?

    How can I upload a .pdf file from my mac to iPhone 3G?
    Or is there an app that will allow me to that?
    Thanks in advance
    Zia

    The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.
