How to transfer music from iTunes on Macbook to my iPhone 4S?

I just recently bought a Macbook Air (my 1st Mac computer) & I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPhone 4S.  I never had this problem before when I was using my PC.  I've got my iphone connected to the Mac & itunes shows that it's connected.  I've tried to drag the music to where it says "iPhone", but the music isn't transferring.  I've also attempted to transfer the music by clicking on the arrow next to the album name, then click "Add to" & then click my "iphone", but it still won't transfer.  Am I missing something here?  Please help!

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.
If you want to drag and drop then you must select manually manage music.

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and would like to copy the music library from my ipad onto the MacBook. Can anyone advise me please on how to go about it, as I struggle. Many thanks.

    There are two ways:.
    1. A Sync will do it. If it does not work for you, check the various tabs in iTunes and confirm that the appropriate boxes are checked. You can decide which apps, music and videos will be transferred.

  • How to download music from itunes in the cloud to iphone in one step

    Hi, after having software Problems, i set up my Iphone again. Now, the following problem exists:
    All music, I have bought beforehand from Itunes is shown with a cloud symbol so that I could download the music easely from itunes in the cloud again. I tried to load this music by connecting the iphone with my PC, but it is still shown with the cloud symbol. I am not using icloud!
    It is too much music to download it this way (pushing the symbol on the phone). Can anybody tell me another way? How can I bring my music to my Iphone again???

    If your music has a cloud icon means the music is not on your iPhone/computer iTunes locally.
    You can download the music through Purchased tab then sync your iPhone with the music selected.

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer all info (contacts, photos, music, etc) to my new MacBook Pro from a PC.  Music doesn't show up in ITunes, photos don't show up in Photos.   The only thing I can find that transferred is contacts.  Any help is appreciated.
