    How do I transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to my iphone 4, all downloaded into my ipod on my phone, unable to transfer into ringtones, help

    Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
    If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

    How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone 5 or Mac to an inactive iPhone 4S that my granddaughter uses ( it doesn't have Internet connection )

    Two steps:
    you can first transfer photos from iPhone to computer and then drag them to the external hard drive. For your iTunes library, you can follow:
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Locate your external drive.
    Mac: On the desktop or Finder sidebar.
    3. Locate your iTunes folder:By default, the iTunes folder is located in:
    Mac: Finder > username > Music
    4. Drag the iTunes folder to your external drive. This can take a while if you have a lot of items.
    6. When the transfer is complete, your iTunes Library will have been successfully copied to your external drive.

    How do I transfer music, videos, etc from my IPad to my IPod or vice versa?

    You can copy them via your computer's iTunes - you can't connect an iPad to iPod for direct transfer, though if you iOS 5 set up on both devices and iCloud enabled you might be able to re-download some of your iTunes purchased music on the other device.

    HHow do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my ipad

    You cannot directly transfer anything from an iPhone to an iPad. If your iPad is signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then it has access to the same Music library as your phone. Click on the More tab in the iTunes App on your iPad, and then on Purchased, Not on this iPad to see all of the music available to download to the iPad. You can also set the "Automatic Downloads" option to ON in Settings>iTunes & App Store and going forward, any music you purchase on the iPhone or via iTunes on a computer will automatically download to your iPad. Set the same setting on the iPhone to have it do the same.
    As for photos. If both the iPhone and iPad are signed onto the same iCloud ID in Settings>iCloud, then turn on Photo Stream on both the iPad and iPhone to share Photo Stream photos between the two devices. Photos on your Camera Roll that are no longer on Photo Stream, or photos in other Photo Albums would have to be sync'd to the iPad via iTunes on the computer you sync with (assuming you have imported your photos to that computer).
    Cheers,

  • How can I transfer music and iTunes from my mac to my iPhone?

    I have a macbook air and need to transfer some of my music and itunes from my mac to my newly updates iphone4. Previously I used to drag what I wanted from my itunes to my phone but now it doesn't work. Any ideas?

    First step, of course, is to plug your iPhone into your Macbooks Air. Then, you need to set up syncing how you want it in iTunes (on the MBA). If you want to be able to drag and drop music, select "manually manage music" on the Summary pane in iTunes.

    Using the same apple ID with both devices opens them up to share apps and data. There are some limits, for example some iPad apps are iPad only, they literally won't work on the iPhone due to the phone's limited resolution.

  • How do I transfer music and stuff from my ipod onto my itunes library on my new laptop?

    I got a new laptop and i plugged my ipod in and everything was okay but the music that is on my ipod is not in my itunes library it is just in the drop down music menu when my ipod is plugged up to my laptop. So, i hit sync and it said either transfer purchases or erase and sync.well i definitely do not want to erase the 500 songs i have on my ipod so i hit transfer and it said that it was unable to transfer because my ipod is not authorized with the computer. so i hit authorize and it asks me to log in and so when i type in my email and password and then hit authorize it just takes me back to the login screen with a really weird random email in and no password. I tried doing this many and just takes me back to the same page. I need to know how to get my music from my ipod onto my itunes library without losing any music. Please and thank you for any help that you can offer.

    If you have an iPod Touch, as suggested by your profile, I suggest you create a thread in the iPod Touch forum. You have posted in the iPod Classic forum.

  • How can I transfer music and movies from my iPod to my PC?

    I recently lost all of my content on iTunes and have been looking for a way to transfer my content from my iPod over to my PC. I have no idea how I can do it, and my iPod is going screwy, so I need to transfer my content before my iPod finally breaks. Help?

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
