I cannot drag my music onto my iphone? Error icon?

I cannot drag and drop my music onto my iphone, it gives me an error icon as i go to put it in?
The music stores into my itunes library fine, but doesnt want to go into my iphone?
Does anyone know how i can solve this issue?

Also, some of the music I want to add to my iPhone will sync but some won't.

  • ITunes will not manually sync music onto my iPhone 5. When I drag my music onto the iPhone, the icon "bounces" and then the sidebar closes, not syncing the music.

    I've tried restarting my computer, iTunes, unplugging my iPhone and nothing will fix it.

  • All of a sudden I can no longer drag/drop music onto my iPhone... What happened? :(

    So at some point in the recent past itunes stopped letting me drag music to my iphone.. I don't want to bother syncing my whole library because I have too much music. Why is it making things so difficult all of a sudden? This is REALLY ******* me off.

    roaminggnome is absolutely correct. A easier way of doing this is to click the "Music" tab when the device is connected to iTunes. Within this window, you will be able to select "Sync Music" and then below that select "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres." Following this, you will be able to pick and choose which music you want on the device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you drag-and-drop music onto the iPhone in iTunes?

    New to iPhone and only just braking it in, as it were.
    It looks like the only way I can upload music onto my iPhone is via synching my entire library onto it. Which, if I may say so, is an incredibly stupid and debilitating design - amongst other severe shortcomings of the iPhone I am slowly discovering over time. Is it not possible to drag-and-drop like the good old iPods?
    If this is indeed the only way to load music, what's the easiest I can pick out my favorite 2000-or so tunes and put them on there?? Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, because that's when I will start asking for my money back...
    Cheers

    I don't blame this person whatsoever for making the assumption that the iPod portion of his phone would work similarily, if not the same, as the iPod.
    But it does work the same as the iPod. As with an iPod, you can sync all songs and playlists, or selected playlists, or you can manually manage music and videos. You can also select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab and uncheck the songs in your iTunes library that you don't want transferred to your iPhone. This can be used with syncing selected playlists - if you want to remove a song from your iPhone that is in a selected playlist without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes, you uncheck the song in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. There is no difference with an iPod in this regard except for the iPhone not supporting disk mode.
    In order to manually manage music and videos with an iPod, you must select this under the Summary tab for the iPod sync preferences, and the same for the iPhone.
    And if you resent his rant, why respond and waste your volunteer time on this post?
    I can waste my time anyway I see fit. If you don't like it, don't respond.
    And not everyone can afford to replace this type of investment on a whim.

    Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, *because that's when I will start asking for my money back...*
    Or the iPhone can be sold to someone else with the proceeds used to purchase a different phone. I haven't read any reports about someone having trouble selling their iPhone used at a good price even if damaged.

    My itunes won't put music onto my iphone, i'll click and drag to my phone but it won't take it. How do I fix that?
    Please help me out...

    You can only do that if you switch manually manage ON.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes, select iPhone in iTunes left panel, go to Summary tab and switch Manually manage music and videos to ON.

    How are you trying to transfer it and what are your setting on iTunes.  I'm not on a computer that has iTunes at the moment so I'm going from memory and similar issue.  If iTunes is set to sync music then I don't think you can select and drag, if set to manual manage music then you can.  Also make sure you are dragging to music on the iPhone.
    Hope this helps

  • My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone

    My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone or take music off. Everytime I go to sync it it says I dont have enough space but I clearly have more than enough space left. I also am trying to take music off of my iphone so I can put new music on but everytime this box pops up and I really dont know what to do.

    I think you have misunderstood the message you see.
    The message states that you need an additional 1.93GB as well as the 3.93GB shown in the capacity bar. So it requires a total of 5.86GB.
    There are a couple of things you can try:
    Click on the OK button (in that message) and then deselect the media that you wish to remove. Once you have un-ticked the Playlists, or albums or whatever, click on the Sync button again to allow iTunes to Sync. It will then remove the un-ticked items, leaving space to add the 5.86GB that you are trying to add. If you continue to see the same message, but with a smaller additional amount required, then you have not deselected enough items.
    Check how much space is being used by the "Other" category (shown in the capacity bar). While there will always be a small amount of Other on an iPod, anything over 1GB is probably not correct. Usually, a Sync will sort this out. If it doesn't then you may have to perform a Restore procedure, but I suggest you use that only as a last resort.

  • I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help?

    I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help? I'd really rather not completely empty my iPhone in order to have it agree with this new laptop. How do I get them to talk to one another and let me put my music on my iPhone?

    The iPhone will only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

  • I cannot hear ANY music on my iPhone

    I cannot hear ANY music on my iPhone. I can make and receive phone calls even in speakerphone mode, but I cannot hear any of tracks that synced from iTunes, not even with the headphones. Is anybody having the same problem? Does anybody have any idea on how to fix it ? I do not want to reset the phone for fear of having to reactivate it. Is Apple aware of this critical problem ?

  • Can't put music onto my Iphone 4 or listen to any music previously on it. Help!!

    Hello. For the past 2 weeks every single time ive tried to put any music onto my iphone 4 it comes up as not sync'd and on my phone it shows the song with a little red square and a red circle around it. Yesturday I tried again but this time all 1500 songs on my phone started showing the red square and circle. I have updated to iOS7 but not the update since then as that update has done enough damage to my phone as is. Does anyone know how I can fix this as music is the entire reason I ever bought an Iphone to begin with..
    This is what my itunes looks like now, after all songs have been deleted because I figured maybe that would help.
    Here is what it looks like on my phone
    I deleted every song off of my phone on the phone and on itunes but as i was getting the pictures together for this post apparently all the music i deleted is back on my phone but all still with the red square and circle.

    Connect your Device to Computer. Select your iPhone under "Devices" on the left Pane. On the right Pane, select MUSIC tab. Make sure SYNC MUSIC box is checked. Then click the SYNC button on the lower right Window.

  • Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

  • What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

    What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

    Hi DVX100Shooter,
    Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it. 
    Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
    In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
    The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
    Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -

    The shared family photo album is available to all family members.
