How can I transfer the music from my computer to my iphone

How can I transfer the music from my computer to my iphone?
How can I detele the items that i have already added?

Via the iTunes sync process.
And deleting music from your iPhone can be done the same way or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 5, you can delete songs direct from the iPhone one at a time.

I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

I have a pc and am trying to get my music through my iTunes on my computer. I didn't have any trouble syncing my iphone 5S but can't get it to sync with my 6. OS 8.1.3
I open iTunes on my pc, plug in my phone, then I click on the picture of a phone on the upper left hand corner of my music library. Then I get a box of options with sync at the lower right. I have clicked "automatically sync when phone is plugged in" and have also tried to do it manually by checking specific songs and albums. Every time I hit sync the box pops up that says, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
I took those steps and a box pops up that says "this computer is already authorized."
I have my recently purchased music on my phone that came through the cloud when I restored my phone. But I want my old music from CD's that I put on my iTunes library in my computer. I had all of this music on my old phone.
Thank you so much for your time! I'm obviously not very good at this!

TS2776 I can synch items entered into MS calendars to my iPad... this is done automatically when I connect to the USB. How do I synch items initially entered into my iPad to MS Calendars when the unit is connected to the USB port???

Cannot tell is the initial question was sent so here goes again. I can synch items entered into MS Calendars with my iPad... this is done automatically when I connect the iPad to the USB port. Can I synch items entered into the iPad calendar to the MS Calendar when the iPad is connected to the USB port??? if so how???

I have found an alternative and much quicker way to transfer photos to my ipad. Having exhausted the Apple route with its connection kit, I stumbled upon a YouTube video showing how you could use an external sd card reader / USB to transfer pictures. I did a quick search on eBay and found a device that would work with the ios7 update. Hey presto it works! (I purchased an sd card and a sd card adapter for my Canon 350d) plus the little sd card reader from eBay ( for quarter of the price ) of Apples connection kit ( which didn't work)
Come on Apple why can suppliers in the Market place produce accessories that work better than your own kit? You are missing an opportunity and frustrating customers no doubt. Could do better !

How do I sync my music from computer to phone

Unless you're using iTunes Match, you can either download music purchased from the iTunes store to your phone as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519, or sync it to your phone using iTunes.

That's too bad, thanks for sharing.

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

I have ADE on 4 devices and currently over 2000 books which I want on all of them. How do I sync everything so I don't spend my life manually doing this?

I need help. I have ADE on 4 devices and currently over 2000 books. How do I sync all the devices so I don't spend all my time doing this manually. I have had ADE before, on my Palm, but it crashed and ADE didn't have a mobile app at the time, so I gave up on it. I discovered that Amazon had removed books from my Kindle library because they were, they say, no longer available, but I bought them, they were mine and I consider their removal as theft. I decided to get a Kobo and discovered that it's primary format is ePUB, si I re-activated my Digital Editions. But, in order for me to keep using it and having my ebooks handy when I want to read them, no matter where I am or what device I have available, I need to be able to put things on one device and have them sync to all the others. How do I do this? Does anyone know? All help and suggestions gratefully recieved.
Many thanks.

Make a backup of your laptops hard drive to an external hard drive or a thumb drive.
Videos take up a lot of memory. One second of videos is like dozens of pictures. How much time, in total minutes & seconds, do all 22 of these videos add up to?

I update my iphone to ios 6.1 now I can't sync the music on my computer to my iphone

I recently updated my iphone4S to ios 6.1. I am now unable to sync my iphone to my computer so there is no music etc. Can anyone help?

Well the problem is nothing happens! I plug my iPhone in and I have it set to sync on sign in to iTunes. I made spne updates to my library by copying a number of CDs I had recently bought and unticked a couple of albums etc When I went in I got all the usual back etc and then it went through the rest of the steps albeit v quickly yet the new stuff wasn't on and the old stuff wasn't taken off. I tried again same thing. I unchecked sync on plugging iPhone in and I got a new message saying that I was using a different library and as I have a new computer and had created a new library I thought this was the problem even though I was using my I store sign in I'd & password anyhow I said yes. So it went through the steps this time a bit slower. However what it did do was delete all the music from my iPhone and did not copy the new music from my computer! Oh deary deary me! Hope anyone can help.

How do I sync what's on my computer to my iphone 3gs, not from the phone to the computer?

I have made changes in iTunes on my computer (sort, deleted items, etc) because the stupind iPhone won't download and sort my podcasts in order. When I sync to my phone everything from the phone gets back in iTunes.
How do I get my iTunes to go to the phone?

I had to delete the podcasts in my phone, THEN sync and it finally got the right podcasts on the phone,
NOW - it won't sort them by date on the phone!!!!! I thought Apple stuff was supposed to be very intuitive . . . . I'm not so impressed . . . . .

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

I didn't back up photos on a few syncs - can I now? They are still on my phone, just not included automatically when I go to sync

On several syncs I elected not to have the photos on my iPhone sync to my pc. I still see them on my phone, can play the videos etc., but I can't seem to get the back-up to pick them up upon sync. It keeps saying "no new photos since last sync."

You should be able to:
Disable automatic syncing of devices (Edit > Preferences > Devices)
Backup the device to the new installation (Right-click device > Back Up)
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in the apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
Need help?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
