How do i transfer mp3 files from macbook to iphone

I have some mp3 files on my MacBook and want to also have the files on my iPad and iPhone.
The cloud didn't accomplish this. Does the iPad and iPhone support mp3 files?

Open itunes, connect device, select what you want to sync, sync.

How do I transfer MP3 files from my PC to iPhone

Although I've read many items concerning this issue I still can NOT understand how to transfer some of my MP3 files to my iPhone. When I attempt to transfer or sync song from my iTunes it states it will erase all of the other songs I have on there. I did do this once when I first got the phone but have totally forgotten how I did it.
I do not want my entire Library transferred to my phone, just certain songs that are on my PC. I thought it had been a pretty easy task.
Can someone give me the steps for doing this?
Thanks.

Iphone is only meant to be sync to one itunes media library. That is why you're seeing the message about erasing all the songs. Did you sync those other song from a different itunes library?

How can I transfer mp3 files from my PC to my Ipod Touch 4?

I have an Ipod Touch 4 that was given to me. I use it almost exclusively to listen to audio books downloaded from various libraries. Once upon a time long ago I did manage to download some music (mp3 files) to the Ipod but I have no idea how. Now I would like to transfer some additional mp3 files to the Ipod but I have no idea how to do so and I have not been able to find any instructions that make sense using Google. I should also mention that I find ITunes to be the most confusing non-discoverable software I have every encountered. The instructions for dummies won't do. When it comes to ITunes I need the instructions for someone who can just barely find the on/off switch with both hands in daylight. Thanks for any help.
P.S. I developed business application software for 40 years so I am PC literate, just not ITunes and Ipod literate.<g>

How do I transfer a file from macbook to ipad without itunes?

Hi, I purchased a children's learning program online. I am now trying to transfer that program file from my macbook onto my kids ipad's. How do I do this without using itunes? I didn't aquire it from itunes but from the makers own website. We homeschool our kids and it would be so much easier for them to each have it on their own ipads. Thank you anamanners

The only place you can get programs for the iPad is from the iTunes Store. An application downloaded from a developer's web site will not work, and probably is for some other platform such as your Mac, as Kappy suggested. You'll need to ask the developer if they make a version for the iPad and if so will need to get it from the iTunes Store.
Regards.

How to transfer m4r file from macbook to iPhone?

I could create .m4r file from mp3 file in iTunes. However, I don't see it in iTunes 'Tone'.
I can see it in Finder as well as in iTunes music tab.
Can someone help how to bring it to iPhone as a ringtone after this step of creating .m4r file?

Thanks. I, now, could create ringtone with the Ringtone Maker and could transfer/sync it to iPhone. However, when assigned to one of the contacts and tested if rings when that person calls - it did not ring with the new tone. Instead, it was the default ringtone. Is there any other step that I should be doing before assigning it to a contact?

How do I transfer .mp3 files from my PC to my iPad Air

Have .mp3 files (recorded bird songs) that would like to put on new iPad Air. Also have old MacBook.

If you want them in the Music app on your iPad then you can add them to your Mac's iTunes library via File > Add To Library (or drag-and-drop them from Finder into iTunes).
You can then sync them to your iPad (you've synced the iPad to that Mac before ?) by connecting it to your Mac, selecting it via the device icon that should show in your Mac's iTunes towards the top left (next to the content category icons), selecting the Music category on the left-hand sidebar, and selecting and syncing them to the iPad.

How do I transfer mp3 files from my Win XP desktop to my ipad2 ?

I installed Itunes on my Windows XP Pro desktop system. I eventually created two separate folders on itunes
to organize mp3 files.
But I'll be dammed if I can get those mp3s on itunes to transfer to the iPad2. I have turned on match under the
store tab, in Itunes.
I have looked for something to activate it on the ipad. The iPad2 lists recent purchases.
(These voice mp3s are not music) It lists all songs. It has a tab which says download all songs.
It does nothing.
There is a tab for 'not on this iPad', it doesn't do anything.
There is a tab for the cloud. It doesn't do anything.
I have wasted 1 1/2 hrs getting nowhere. Not impressed, Apple.
When I plugged in the USB cable to the desktop, I did see my photos and videos, period, nothing more.

You can use 3rd party apps like Music Download.

How do I transfer all files from macbook to windows 7 laptop

Hi there,
I am having a problem with my macbook. 6 weeks ago I got a new logic board installed under extended warranty as it was having kernel panics which I took out. Sadly my warranty expired 3 weeks ago. I am now having a problem with my macbook, I am using it and then suddenly it shuts down with no warning, no signal. I have got my stuff backed up on a harddrive but when I plugged it into my partners windows laptop it didn't read it. I spoke to Apple and they said I need to reformat the hard drive so that it works with both windows and macs, something I didn't know before!
Anyway... 1) it takes a while for my whole harddrive to be uploaded and I fear that now this problem is recurring the laptop will not stay on long enough for me to recover my data. It makes me loathe to reformat the harddrive with the data on it.
2) Is there a way that I can get my itunes library to a PC simply? The only way I know that has worked before is literally to drag and drop every music file onto a USB stick and this took me about 5 days and made me very dispondent!
3) I have an iphone too...because I've always plugged it into my mac, does it now mean it won't work on a PC? Or do they work both ways so it doesn't matter?
4) does anyone have any experience of this type of problem and what was the fault?
The guy at the local apple store told me if it's related to the logic board then that part is covered by a 90 day warranty. However I also now thinking of it realise that the fans were very noisy a few weeks ago and now suddenly I don't hear them at all, I wonder if it is that which is the problem.
I am rather distressed as I am not a technically minded person and my macbook has been so good to me until the last couple of months. I backed up my data with the best will in the world but am now very anxious that I may well lose everything.
My mac currently still boots up but you never know when it's going to conk out and it is a major concern for me. I am not in a financial position to afford hundreds on a repair bill (that's why I had the extended warranty but sadly they wouldn't re-extend it as it wasn't apple policy) nor to purchase a new mac and am looking at the possibility of cutting my losses and going back to using my fiances windows laptop. Shudder.

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.
