How to get mp3s from the cd to my iPhone library in iTunes when I hook the phone up to my iMac

Always before I hook the iphone up to the imac and open up itunes it recognized the phone and synced. Then you click on the phone and you had a choice of "on this phone" and it would show the folders and songs on the phone. Now, when I hook it up it, it will recognize and sync, but there is no "on this phone" choice and I do not know how to get songs or mp3's from my cd that is in the computer drive to my iphone in itunes. Where did this choice go? How do I get things from a disc to my phone?

Your post is confusing to me because I don't understand the process you are describing.  Normally, you would import your CD music into iTunes, then sync your iPhone to iTunes, capturing the music on your iPhone.  The "On This Phone" tab would be irrelevant.
Anyway, you can see "On This Phone" by pressing the iPhone icon toward the top of the iTunes window when the iPhone is plugged into iTunes.  "On This Phone" is a tab toward the rear (the "Summary" tab is at the front).

  • HT4858 how to get pictures from my laptop to my iphone 5c

    im trying to figure out how to get my pictures that were downloaded onto my pc from my iphone 4 back to my iphone 5c. cant seem to find them in itunes like i was told to look

    Sync them to your 5c by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTunes, going to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, check Sync Photos and select the folder that contains the photos, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

    Hey sorry I just got my new Iphone 4 and i downloaded a game from itunes off my computer and i dont know how to get it onto my iphone 4 please help

    There are two ways, you can sign into the app store from your iPhone, select upgrades at the bottom, select purchased, select not on this iPhone and download from their or plug your iPhone into iTunes, left click on your iphone in the left pannel, select the apps heading, select the game you downloaded and select sync at the bottom of the screen (make sure there is a check mark in the box beside sync apps). If the game is over 20mb you will have to be connected to wifi to download it directly on your iphone

  • How do i get songs from my nano on to my library on itunes

    i had to reinstall itunes but i kept all my music on my nano and i wanted to know how to get music off my nano and on to my library.

    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

  • How to get music from CDS on to my Iphone?

    I recently got a new laptop with Windows 8 on it for college. I put all of my music from our old home computer that had my itunes library on it originally on a passport and uploaded it to itunes. I had never plugged my iphone 5 into itunes before today when I saved all my music to my new laptop. I have music saved into itunes from the old computer that was taken off of CDs that I own. They show up in my new itunes library but I can not get them onto my phone.  I have tired syncing a few times and it doesn't seem to be working. I got all of the music I have purchased from Itunes but none of the music from my CDs. How can I get that music on my phone?

    No. It's not impossible, but it's not free.

  • Does anyone know how to get photos from iCloud back on your iPhone?

    I was having issues with my iPhone 4 not charging anymore. I went to the apple store today and ended up having to buy a replacment phone. When I was going through the set-up, I tried to do an iCloud restore but wasn't able to as the new iPhone didn't have the latest iOS 7 update. I asked the technician if I went through the set-up as a new iPhone if I was going to be able to retrieve my photos later. She said yes. So I proceeded the set-up as a new iPhone and the only thing that restored was my contacts. Am I able to somehow get my photos from iCloud and put them onto my new phone? Or are my pictures lost for good? Please help! Thanks in advance.

    Are you referring to both Camera Roll photos and Photo Stream photos? If so, then you would need to do a restore of your new phone from your iCloud backup:
    RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP
    If you are just talking about Photo Stream photos, then once you have your iCloud account signed onto your new phone, and you have turned on Photo Stream, then the last 30 days or 1000 photos should download to your device once you are connected to Wifi. It may take some time.

  • TS1702 i have purchaced many apps from the app store, and now after updating my phone to iOS 6, the apps sitting in my library in iTunes wont transfer to my phone anymore? Says that the apps can not be found. The appstore says i have no bought apps either

    I have previously bout about 30-40 apps from the app store. After a recent update to the newest version of iOS (and a reset back to factory standards), i find that i cant put any of the apps from my iTunes library, back onto my phone!? When i try, it says that the apps location cant be found!?  I tried going into the app store and in the app section going into 'Purchaces', in the hope that i could just re-install them from there (because i have already paid for them), but in there, it tells me that there are NO apps in my purchaces list!?  This is quite concerning because i have spent quite a bit of money on these apps, that now seem to be un-usable?!   Ican still put all my music on my phone through iTunes liuke normal, but Podcasts are doing the same thing as the apps?! Can someone please help me, or suggest what to do because im really getting frustrated.  I really like my iPhone, but if this is what is going to keep happening, i think ill change to an Android phone. . . . .

    Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
    Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
    Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
    Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
    If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

  • The video button does not activate on itunes when i connect the 30GB ipod

    I have a 30GB ipod. when i connect it to the computer and start itunes, and go to the "ipod" tab, and then "video", after that, none of the video buttons are active (such as "actomatically update all videos"; "do not update videos" etc.
    I have the latest version of itunes and have also updated the software on the ipod.
    Please help me.

    That's because you must have the iPod under the Music tab set to either
    1-automatically update songs and playlists or
    2-automatically update selected playlists
    for the video tab to be accessible.
    Once you select auto update then go to the video tab and select auto update or playlist update for videos.

  • HT1688 Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down when I press the bottom volume up only works?

    Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

    Hey cacobo,
    I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope that helps,
    David

  • How to get mp3s from iTunes?

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, it just can't be this hard! My reason is that my kids have cheap mp3 players and they want some songs on them. All of my music is in iTunes. I upgraded to 8.0.2, paid to update my library (which I'll repeat others by saying this ***** to pay for songs I don't want to upgrade!), and made a new playlist those upgraded songs. I put in a new CD, had the playlist selected, hit burn, chose MP3 disk, and I get this error "none of the files can burned to an MP3 CD - Only files that are already in MP3 format may be burned to an MP3 CD.
    So now what do I do? I've been struggling with this for months and thought I had my answer when iTunes was updated. TIA!

    Jill,
    To convert tracks to MP3s try this.
    First open iTunes>Preferences, click the General tab and then click the Import Settings button and chose MP3 Encoder from the Import Using drop down menu. Now close preferences and select those tracks you wish to convert.
    Choose Advanced>Create MP3 Version.
    Once you have your MP3s created, you'll be able to create and MP3 CD.
