I can't transfer music to or from my iPhone 4s in iTunes.

I have enough memory and the latest versions of iPhone and iTunes software. When I try to drag and drop, I get a red circle with a line through it. I can play songs on my PC but can't add or delete playlists from my phone in It

What happens when you try? We are not psychic.

    You should be storing everything on your computer.  Just sync it to the iPhone of your choice from your computer.

    HHow do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my ipad

    You cannot directly transfer anything from an iPhone to an iPad. If your iPad is signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then it has access to the same Music library as your phone. Click on the More tab in the iTunes App on your iPad, and then on Purchased, Not on this iPad to see all of the music available to download to the iPad. You can also set the "Automatic Downloads" option to ON in Settings>iTunes & App Store and going forward, any music you purchase on the iPhone or via iTunes on a computer will automatically download to your iPad. Set the same setting on the iPhone to have it do the same.
    As for photos. If both the iPhone and iPad are signed onto the same iCloud ID in Settings>iCloud, then turn on Photo Stream on both the iPad and iPhone to share Photo Stream photos between the two devices. Photos on your Camera Roll that are no longer on Photo Stream, or photos in other Photo Albums would have to be sync'd to the iPad via iTunes on the computer you sync with (assuming you have imported your photos to that computer).

    If the books are in the iBooks app on your phone then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes (and then to the iBooks app if you have Mavericks on your Mac) via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • How do i transfer music i purchased on my iphone back to itunes?

    how do i transfer music i purchased on my iphone back to itunes?

    Hi,
    There is a more precise way
    1. Plug in your iPhone to your Mac/PC
    2. Open itunes.
    3. Your iPhone should be shown on the left side panel.
    4. Right Click on the iPhone icon and choose "Transfer Purchases".
    This will transfer item purchases in iPhone (but not available in itunes) back to iTunes.

  • My desktop crashed and I had to reinstall itunes how do I transfer all the apps and their information, music, and contacts from my iphone to the itunes software?

    My desktop crashed and I had to reinstall itunes software.  My iphone has all my apps with their data, contacts, photos, videos & music.  How can I import all of the information and data on my iphone into itunes?  I downloaded one app that is a to-do-list but it indicates that if I sync with my iphone I will lose all data on my iphone and it will be replaced with the data on itunes.  I do not want to lose my data!  I have a lot of information and I cannot understand why Apple would not have a way to restore my data from my iphone to my itunes.  PLEASE HELP!

    It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

  • How can I copy just one song from my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    I have purchased songs through the iTunes app on my iPhone 4S.  I want to get these songs on to my iPod.  I figure I need to first transfer the songs from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my PC.  Problem is it always seems to want to sync my library with my iPhone and I have way too many songs in my library to fit on my iPhone.  I just want to transfer a couple of songs from the iPhone to my library. Is there anyway to do this?

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

  • How can I transfer music and apps from 1 ipod to another?

    My computer crashed and my 2 sons got new ipod toches 4th gen and all of their music and apps were on that computer. Is there anyway to transfer contents from their old ipod to their new one?

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Can I transfer music and photos from my 17" PowerBook G4 to a new MacBook Pro?

    I am planning to buy a new MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks. Can I have the "Genius" at the Apple Store transfer my music and pictures from my current PowerBook to the new computer? My current computer is a 17" PowerBook G4, running OS X 10.5.8. Because of the age of my computer and software limitations I have been unable to use iCloud for anything besides my calendar and contacts.

    Yes, flash drive would work fine.
    If all you care about is music and photos, as you indicated earlier, then you simply need to copy the entire contents of your Music and Pictures folders from the old computer into the Music and Pictures folders on the new computer. A flash drive will work fine as long as it is big enough. If you want to also move over personal files, typically those are in your Documents folder and possibly your Desktop, so don't forgot about those.
    If you want to migrate over all your emails, applications, internet and router settings, web browser favorites, bookmarks, preferences, user names and accounts, etc., then you might consider doing the full migration using Setup Assistant upon the very first boot up. Apple will do this for you, for a fee, as will almost any Apple-authorized computer store (also for a fee, but probably for a bit less than Apple would charge). You can actually do this manually, using the external drive or flash drive, and I have done that myself. But you need to know where the files are to do that properly. The Setup Assistant (which is run upon the very first boot up of the new computer) or Migration Assistant (which is run after you have booted into your new computer at least once) make it pretty easy -- the main thing you need to do is hook the computers up with a firewire cable and follow Apple's instructions; or if that is not possible, the next best thing is to make a complete backup of your old computer onto an external drive using Time Machine (or a cloning program like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner) and migrate from the backup.

    You can copy them via your computer's iTunes - you can't connect an iPad to iPod for direct transfer, though if you iOS 5 set up on both devices and iCloud enabled you might be able to re-download some of your iTunes purchased music on the other device.

  • How can I transfer music and movies from my iPod to my PC?

  • After replacing my hard drive, my iTunes won't transfer music to and from my iPhone 5?

    Hi,
    I recently got my hard drive replaced after it died on me. I went to transfer songs onto my computer but it said I needed to update both my iTunes and my iPhone first. So I have and it says that it synced up all ok, but none of the songs got transferred. Simply dragging music over from my iPhone to iTunes didn't work so I manually tried to sync the music, but it came up with the message that in order to do this I'd have to erase all my music from my iPhone to sync with iTunes, when I would rather it be the other way around.
    From reading forums, I understand that you are only allowed to sync the iPhone with one computer only and I have come to the conclusion that my iPhone still thinks it's paired with the iTunes that's on the broken hard drive and therefore thinks I'm trying to sync with another computer. However, I'm still using the same apple ID so I don't understand how that can be possible, so I am quite confused really.
    All I want is to have all my old songs back in my iTunes. The only other thing I can think of is the Yosemite upgrade. I am not convinced on the upgrade since there are mixed posts about it and the only good comments are about its looks when I'm more concerned about its practicality. Could this be the problem with my iTunes? Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, what you have described is normal with iTunes and iOS devices when changing Macs or (and as you discovered) hard drives. I think you get around this problem though if you rebuild your Mac from a Time Machine backup.
    Question: how much of your music is ripped from CDs or downloaded or purchased from iTunes?
    I would imagine you are going to have to erase your phone, but there are 2 possible options as I would see it:
    Copy the music from an old Time Machine backup. Even if Time Machine is based on your old system, as long as it’s not encrypted, an Administrator account should still be able to access the TM folder (perhaps with some tweaks to folder permissions).
    Get hold of a dedicated piece of software for copying music off your iPhone. Google will present you a few options, although be careful: music on your phone is not stored in a filename friendly way, so you will no way of easily identifying the song or getting iTunes to recognise it either. You probably want software that builds filenames and copies the metadata with it, although these aren’t generally free.
    Don’t forget that any purchased songs you can re-download off iTunes.
