I cannot move music from my itunes library to my iphone after an update

Hi
I recently updated my iphone 3GS and now I cannot move any music from my itunes library to my iphone. I have also had to sync my iphone with my laptop as my PC that I used before no longer works.

Connect the phone to your computer
Wait for it to appear in the list on the left side of iTunes
Click once on it in that list
Look to the right and scroll down to Options - one of the checkboxes says Manually manage music and videos

  • How do I move music from my iTunes library to my iPhone?

    iTunes 12 is certainly a different UI from before.  Previously, there was an icon of my plugged-in iPhone in the upper right corner of the UI to which I could drag items I wanted to transfer to my phone - movies, music, etc.
    That's gone.  I'm seeing my iTunes library, and the iTunes store, but no references at all to my iPhone 6 that's plugged in.
    So, how do I now transfer items from my iTunes library to my iPhone???

    You can connect your iPhone (wired) to you Mac and in iTunes an iPhone-icon will appear right next to the three dot in the white top bar. It will also appear in the sidebar you can open by clicking on the playlistsbutton right next to My Music. If you click on your iPhone in the sidebar all folders on the iPhone will be unfolded and you can drag and drop music from you library to you iPhone (as shown in the screenshot below).
    If you click on the iPhone icon in the white bar, you get the screens to manage the content of you iPhone and synchronize.
    PS: the iPhone should appear wireless as well, but does not most of the time. This is a bug. I expect it to be solved in the next update. Until then we must work wired.

    Hello Turintest2,
    I am having a similar problem.  I have over 4000 songs giving me this error.  I certainily don't want to go in one by one and find them.  I know you wrote a script for Windows but I am a Mac user.  Is there a fix for me?  Here is the info on where the song is currently (used by doing the get info)
    Here's a shot of my preferences:
    Just FYI, I know that apparently iTunes is looking for this music in the trash.  However, if I go here:
    Then I find the music there as well.  (Which is where it is in my preferences.)
    Please help!  I don't want to have to go through over 4000 songs and update them one by one.

  • HT1689 how do I transfer music from my itunes library to my iphone?

    I hate the new itunes store. You used to be able to drag and drop things you wanted on your iphone but now it's so complicated. How do I transfer items from my iturnes library to my iphone? I want to transfer a couple of songs from an album.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to the music tab, select the content you want, click sync/apply.

  • Why can't I drag music from my itunes library onto my iphone ?

    I recently got an iphone 5 and synced it to my desktop computer. I then bought a MacBook pro and synced my iphone to it but I cannot put music from my MacBook onto my iphone. I even restored the phone and backed it up to the MacBook but I still cannot move music onto my iphone.

  • MOVE music from default iTunes library to another?

    I'm new to itunes/ipod use. Cannot figure out how to MOVE SOME of the music I've already imported into the default iTunes library to a separate library I created to hold JUST Christmas music. I can create the "Christmas" library and can switch between it and the default library in iTunes but am unable to move music between them. I have the ipod set to manually manage music and to use as a hard drive (I think).
    iTunes has to be the most frustrating system I've ever used!!!

    Not sure what you've tried. Do you want to move the actual holiday music files? Or just temporarily add the holiday music to your main library?
    I just have it all in my main library, and all properly tagged with genre=Holiday. Then I have a smart playlist where Genre=Holiday. Now that I don't want to hear any of that stuff anymore, I went into the smart playlist for HOliday, and control-checkmarked it.
    Now, none of that stuff will play - it is unchecked, so will get skipped during playback and shuffle.

  • Sometimes when I move music from my iTunes library to my iPod I get incorrect album art. Any known causes/fixes?

    Sometimes when I move music (typically an album) from iTunes to my iPod I get incorrect album artwork on the iPod. Is this a known issue with the iPod classic and are there any fixes other than a complete restore and sync of the iPod?

    You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
    Maybe you should read the manual:

  • I need to get the music from my iTunes library to my iPhone 4, but it won't recognize my phone in iTunes...

    When I plug my iPhone 4 into my laptop, a box pops up that says "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    I did so, but after downloading this software, I was told that it needed my MacBook Pro to have Version 10.6.8 or higher to run. My MacBook has Version 10.6.4, and I have no idea what updating it would require. I'd prefer to get my music from iTunes library to my phone without updating. If anyone knows how, please help.
    Otherwise, could someone please tell me how to update my MacBook, how much it would cost, etc.?

    You'll have to update your OS on your Macbook.
    Click on the black Apple logo at the top left of your Mac screen.  Then click on Software Update.

  • Is there any way to share music from my itunes library with a iphone not synced with my mac?

    I use my itunes with my Iphone, But my husband has an iphone also and wants some music from my library to be put on his phone. How can i do this without transfrring his iphone to my itunes and visa versa?

    No. Ignore the above post as it is completely wrong, & the poster has no idea what he/she is talking about. By design, an iPhone will sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to do so with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer.

  • I just got my new iPhone 5 yesterday; after setting it up, I can't put any music from my itunes library on my iPhone

    I have Windows 7 on my computer, and my iTunes is the latest version.  My new phone has the latest version also.  When I go to the Music tab in iTunes under my phone, the only option is Sync voice memos.  What the heck?  I bought the largest phone so I could have all my music on my phone also.  My music library is on an external hard drive but it's on the network and I my phone should have access to it.
    I want to get this completed sometime before next year. 

    You need to use a different Apple ID for iCloud.
    Create a new Apple ID https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    On your iPhone enter the new Apple ID in Settings > iCloud > Account.
    You can all continue to use the original Apple ID for iTunes and App Store.

    You can make a playlist in iTunes to and fill it with the music you want on your phone. Then when you sync your phone you can select the playlist to sync. Creating a playlist will allow you to choose the songs you want.
    Create a playlist by selecting
    1. File
    2. New
    3. Playlist
    4. Name the Playlist
    Adding Music to the Playlist

    4. Select the PlayList you created

  • Why i can't load music from my iTunes library to my synced iPod touch

    Why can't I load music from itunes library to synced ipod touch

    " I have no idea what you're talking about my phone being hacked."
    I explained:  "Your iphone must be hacked as you cannot copy from finder on a legit iphone."
    "I used to be able to drag music FROM THE ITUNES LIBRARY to THE IPHONE. Now I can no longer do that"
    Again, I explained: "you would check the manually manage music box of you wanted to drag and drop."
    Do you have the manually manage music box checked?
