I can't add music to my iphone

I recently switched back to my iphone 3gs because my iphone4 is broken.  I also recently reformatted my computer and itunes will let me add music to my iphone 4 but not my 3gs.  Itunes recognizes my iphone 3gs but it is in grey and and won't let me add any music to it.  help.

I have the same **** problem :S .. I can only transfer songs to my iPhone when on my old laptop. It's sickening!

    I can't add music in my Iphone 4S

    Hi Zane
    Yes, I do that each time, but it makes no difference. I've had an iPhone with music on for ages, and this issue only happened when I update to iTunes 11 earlier on in the year.

  • How can I add music to my iPhone 3 from a new iTunes?  My old laptop crashed and I don't want to lose my music by syncing my iPhone with the new iTunes

    I have an iPhone 3, and it was synced to iTunes on my old laptop.  My laptop recently crashed, and now I have a new laptop.  I just dowloaded iTunes and imported a few CDs that I want to add to my iPhone. Unfortunately, I can't add them to my iPhone without syncing it and therefore losing my music on my iPhone, most of which was not purchased through iTunes so I can't restore it that way.  I was going to update to ios5 so I could use the cloud to save my music, but I will lose all my non-purchased music if I update.  Help!!!!

    Really?  Why would you do that?
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
    You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself.  They will not be of the original quality.
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
    No backup is not good.

  • I can't add music to my iphone 4

    Hi,
    I have just updated my phone to iOS 6 and now I can't seem to add music from my iTunes account to my phone. This includes music I have purchased directly from artists' websites and that is now in my iTunes (which I can listen to on the computer but cannot add to my phone). What gives?
    Thanks!

    If you check the manually manage music box, tehn you could drag and drop.

  • Can't add musics to Iphone 4

    Hi, since i've updated my iTunes to 11.0.4 i just can't add musics to my iphone 4. I can add everything else, and that makes me think if something changed when it comes to adding music to the iphone. With my ipad i don't have this problem, i add musics and delete them with no problems, but when it comes to my iphone, i try to sync the library, i try to add them manually but all my tries are unsuccessful.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Cheers

    Try a
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

    How do you add musci to the Iphone?  I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • Old laptop stolen, can't add music from new laptop to iPhone

    Basically, my old laptop was stolen out of my car, so bought a new one. I've put all my backed up music onto my new laptop, but can't add music from my new laptop to my iPhone. I've deauthorised my old laptop and authorised my new one, but iTunes wont let me drag music across into my iPhone. What do I need to do to add music to the phone?

    If the content was purchased via iTunes, either redownload it via iTunes on the computer or transfer purchases from the device tot he computer.  With the device connected, select File > Transfer Purchases.
    If the content was not purchased via iTunes, copy it from the computer that it was originally synced to the device to the new computer.
