I can't sync my music to my new iPhone 5?

I just switched from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 a few days ago. I backed up my iPhone 4 so that all my pictures, contatcs, calenders, ect. would be put onto my iPhone 5. When i plugged my iPhone 5 into my laptop to restore from the past back up and sync it, I selected "restore from this back up" and chose the most recent. At that point, I got all my contatcs and pictures but I didn't get any music. I've tried several times over the past few days to get my music on my phone and all that I have found is how to get my music that was purchased on iTunes. However, I've bought a lot of music on actual CD's and can't get any of that onto my phone. How can I get my entire music library onto my iPhone 5?? I'm going crazy!

With the phone connected to iTunes and selected, click the Music tab and make sure the appropriate boxes are checked.

  • Can I get icloud on my ipod touch 4.3.5 and sync my music to my new iphone 4s?

    If you a 3G or 4G iPod then you can install iOS 5. iOS 5 is required for the iPod to use iCloud.

  • Can't sync my music from itunes to iPhone

    I recently updated itunes on my computer and now I can't sync my music to my iPhone.  Any suggestions?

    I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
    I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

  • I can't sync my music to my new iphone5

    I am unable to get any music on my new iphone5.It will sync everything except music.I tried to use the phone to purchase a song and it went to my ipad but not the phone and I received an email to tell me my Apple ID had been used for a purchase on a device not previously associated to my Apple ID.
    I have wasted about 5 hours of my life and I am still no further forward,any help would be gratefully received

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.
    If that does not help, then you need to connect the iPhone to your computer and use the iTunes app to restore the iPhone to the factory settings.
    BTW, the first time a Mac or iOS device uses your Apple ID you will get that notice from Apple so that you will know should someone else get access to your account.

  • Itunes won't sync my music to the new iphone 6

    Please help.  This is really frustrating.  I am starting to think that this iPhone 6 was a bad decision.

    If you bought the music in iTunes, is the account info on the phone in Settings/iTunes and AppStore/Apple ID the same as on your computer? Music from iTunes can only be synced to the phone if the iTunes account is the same.
    Can you download the music again onto your phone, using the iTunes Store? 

  • Can't load any music onto my new iPhone 6

    Hi Everyone - I just bought my first iPhone ever - the 6, 128 GB - and am really frustrated that I can't load any music onto it. I try syncing through iTunes and nothing happens. It shows me a little grey circle next to each song that's supposed to be synced. Have tried:
    1. Deleting song duplicates using a software called Dupin
    2. Shutting down and restarting both my Mac Air and the iPhone.
    3. Unchecking 'Sync' under the music tab and then rechecking it after.
    Nothing seems to be working.
    Was super psyched about finally switching over from Android to IOS, and so far, it's not going so great!
    Photos have synced, no problem. But no music yet.
    Any suggestions? Please help!

    I've been hoping 8.1.3 would fix this less than smart bug on Apple side, but no, no luck. Does anyone know the solution to this? I'd like to sync my music, please. Makes me think I should not have given up my iPhone 5 and iOS7 so fast.

  • ITunes won't sync any music to my new iPhone 6

    Dear all
    i'm problem with iTunes. It won't snyc any of the music to my iPhone 6. I tried to connect the phone to an i Mac, all sync but music. Before I press the sync button (of course I selected sync all music), it showed in the status bar including the storage used by music. BUT when I click sync, and it went quickly to step 5 and finish sync, no music storage shown anymore and no music found in my phone.
    Later I tried  on another computer(deauthorised the Mac first). No working either... (Sync apps but not music)
    Is this an technique problem of iTunes or is my iPhone 6 a faulty product? PLEASE HELP!

  • I can't add music to my new iphone 5.

    So I can't add any music to my new iphone 5. When I have dragged all the music I want to my iphone, it's all greyed out and wont play it. I have also tried to check the box in "sync all music".
    Thanks.

    Is it purchased music? If so, have you tried logging in to the App store from the phone using your Apple ID? Sometimes it needs a kickstart to know that the phone is authorized by using the ID and password from the phone.

  • Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
    So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
    Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

  • HT1296 Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4. My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. Help

    Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
    My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
    If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
    How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
    I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
    Help...

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • After upgrading to 11.0.1, I can't sync my music or videos

    After upgrading to 11.0.1, I can not sync my music or videos.  I have restored the ipad many times, tried to sync only a few playlists, reset the ipad (restart button and home button).  No problems with contacts, mail, calendars, or apps.  Any suggestions where to attempt fix?

    To the original question of how to sync. If you have tried the usual routes via selecting Playlists from your Device Music page. And/Or Drag and dropping a playlist onto your device and neither work, it may be that your songs are unchecked.
    Right Click on a song in your playlist you are trying to sync. If the entryies at the bottom give you the option to Check selection. Then click this and repeat for all songs in that playlist. You can select all songs in a playlist by Cmd + A
    If you see Uncheck Selection then this is not the cause. It must be something else.

    I have a ipod touch but want to buy a ipod shuffel. can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and how? but if i cant how do i buy music from itunes on the shuffel?

    You can't go directly from the Touch to the Shuffle, but if you can get the music into your itunes library on your computer, you'll be able to sync that music to the Shuffle no problem.

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
