I cannot transfer purchased music from pc to iphone 4. Will not let me drag and drop.

I purchased an album and downloaded to my itunes on my pc. I cannot get it to transfer (copy) to my iphone 4. It will not drag and drop nor will it copy and paste. Any solutions.

You sync it as you do everything else.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to sync, sync.
If you want to drag and drop you would have to select manually manage music.
Maybe you should read the manual.

    Drew,
    Are you sure that those are regular playlists (music note symbol) and not smart playlists (gear symbol)?  Smart playlists populate themselves according to their rules, and you cannot drag songs into them.

  • I have transferred music to new computer and trying to set up playlists and will not let me drag and drop

    I have transferred my music from old iPods to a new computer. I am trying to set up new playlists and it will not let me drag and drop. I have also tried clicking on song and does not give me option to Add to Playlist. Do you have any suggestions?

    I Have a similar problem losing the ability to drag and drop MP3 sound files since new iTunes and Yosemite. Any ideas please?

  • IMovie is not letting me drag and drop transitions, music, text boxes. Worked fine all along and now nothing. What happened?

    iMovie has always let me "drag and drop" transitions, music, text boxes etc into my Project. This morning it is not allowing me to "drag and drop" anything. This is for a client and I am so frustrated. What happened to make it stop letting me "drag and drop"?

    I have only dragged Titles to the project. When I did, it worked best not to drag and release onto the video strip (like with the old version) but just above the strip. When you drag and hover above the strip you get a little pointer to the starting point on the strip. Hope this helps.

  • Cannot Transfer Purchased Music from iPhone to iTunes

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a couple albums on my iPhone and downloaded them on the iPhone.  When I synched my iPhone to iTunes on my PC, I expected that these purchased songs would be transferred - that's what usually happens. 
    In this case, the songs now appear in my iTunes library, but they're greyed out, each with the small circular sync symbol on the left side.  I am trying to figure out how to get these songs into iTunes.
    I've tried navigating to the iTunes store > Purchased, selecting "Recent Purchases" and I can see my songs.  There is a disabled button to the right of each song that said "Downloaded"... so apparently I'm not able to download them again...
    Then I tried right-clicking my iPhone (while connected to iTunes) and selecting "Transfer Purchases" - one would hope that this would do it, but alas it's not to be.  The status window shows "Transferring purchases" very quickly, then back to normal (Apple icon).  The songs aren't transferred.
    Any suggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

    I seem to have resolved it somehow while waiting on the phone for Apple support.
    I turned everything on my iPhone and in iTunes related to iCould to "off".  Glad Apple support had me on hold fo 45 minutes or else I'd never have found the time to fix this.  Glad I saved some $$$.
    Judging by some of the other threads, it's probably wise to disable iCloud stuff if you don't live in the US.

  • HT204053 I have a just purchased my first iPod touch and i cannot transfer my music from my laptop to the iPod. The sync button doesn't appear to work.  What am i doing wrong? Please help this frustrated Grandma. I am trying to keep up with technology!

    I have just purchased my first iPod touch and I cannot transfer my music from my laptop. The sync button does not appear to work. What have I done wrong? I am a grandma trying to keep up with technology please help.

    Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

  • Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

    Since the item <Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes> is "locked" (whatever that means - typically, I got an error message when I clicked on the link!!) - I would like to state that despite downloading the iPod updater to deal with this problem, I cannot update my iPod because "the updater does not have a firmware image". I deeply resent not being able to move 100 tracks I have bought and paid for with my hard-earned money to my iPod. I trust that Apple will sort out this mess forthwith.

    I have now solved this problem (almost by accident...).
    Unfortunately, before you can update the iPod software on the older iPods you have to first do a Restore Factory Settings from the iPod updater (otherwise "updater cannot find firmware image'). Let the 'Restore' process run right through (it ends when the iPod fully reboots). You can then run the iPod software updater to Update from iPod 2.2 to 2.3 software, but afterwards you have to recopy all your songs from iTunes into the now empty iPod. I reloaded my iPod last night, and it took about 20-30mins using firewire for c.2400 songs. It worked for me, anyway. And the interface with iTunes is an improvement. Could have done without all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, though. Thank you, Apple.

  • Cannot transfer purchase music to Ipod Mini

    Help. I cannot transfer my purchased music from Itunes to my IPOD mini. I can transfer all other music except music purchased from Itunes. Each time I try, I get a message that tells me to update my IPOD software. But I already have the latest software.
    I can transfer purchase music from Itunes to my 2nd generation IPOD with no problems. Why can't I transfer purchased music to my IPOD mini?
    I've tried the 5Rs and have restored the mini several times, but nothing seems to work.

    Steps to follow:
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Open the store tab.
    3. Click authorize account.
    4. Follow the instructions shown on your screen from that point.
    Then you should be able to teansfer the purchased music onto it. If not post back.

  • Deactivated all computers and reactivated 1 computer. still cannot transfer purchased music.

    Deactivated all computers. Reactivated 1 computer. Cannot transfer purchased music because itunes Stores says i still have 5 computers activated already.

    If you did not already, I would try quitting iTunes and launching it again (or even restarting your computer because part of iTunes may keep running even when you quit iTunes).  Also, if you used the Deauthorize All command from the button on the Account Information screen (as described in my earlier reply), it's possible that Apple's server database needs to get updated in a way that is not immediate.  So I would try waiting a few hours and then try to authorize your laptop again.
    Question:  You said you "reactivated" your laptop.  Does that mean it was already one of your authorized computers before you gave the Deauthorize All command?  Or is this a new computer that has never been authorized with your Apple ID (iTunes Store account)?
    NOTE:  Only older 128 kbps songs purchased from the iTunes Store had DRM, so if this song is a recent purchase (without DRM), it should play whether the computer is authorized for the Apple ID or not.

  • How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

    Can anyone tell me how to transfer purchased music from iTunes to my iPod without first downloading to a CD?

    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    Get the latest updates here.
    If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
    EDIT.
    Grrrr......must learn to type faster!

  • Can't transfer purchased music from iTunes to iPod

    When I try to transfer purchased music from my Itunes music folder to my iPod, I get the following error message: "Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because the iPod may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
    What I have done to try to address the problem: I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, (it was only after this download, actually, that I began to have the problem) read the help article entitled "Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod", de-authorized and then re-authorized the computer (didn't work) and gone through my iPod to delete any songs that were on burned cds given to me by friends, which potentially originated from other iTunes accounts.
    Perhaps I have overlooked something, but my iPod is only registered on three computers, and I am unable to transfer my purchased music to my iPod. Interestingly, I had no problem transfering my purchased songs onto my iPod before upgrading to the latest version of iTunes last month. It has only been since the upgrade that I can no longer transfer purchases. I subscribe to several podcasts through National Public Radio (free)-- could this be a factor?
    Please help. I still have 19 GB of free space and if I can't transfer purchases, then it's kind of a waste of space. Thanks so much for your time~

    Greetings from Mancunia.
    I am having a similar problem. After years of trouble free use, my 'pod is now giving me trouble, well the new iTunes software is, anyway. See here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=255305&tstart=0
    Why can't I add my new downloaded tunes to my pod? ARRRRGH!
    help me!

  • Where can I find "Store Authorize This computer" on iPhone 4s, because it constantly showed up while I tried to transfer the music from my PC to my iPhone4s and I cannot successfully transfer the music from PC to iPhone.

    I try to transfer the music from iTune on my Window7 to iPhone4s. During the process, the phrase "Some of the purchased item on the iPhone 'Admin's iPhone' including 'Dropbox' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.To authorize this computer for items purchase from the iTunes store.Choose Store>Authorize>This computer." Where can I find the "Store" to authorize my computer? plus I just want to transfer the music from PC to iPhone; not the other way around. Please help. Thank you.

    Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

    I cannot transfer my music from my itunes to my iphone 5s after i connected my iphone to another laptop yesterday. please help me out

    If you are trying to drag a song over, do you have Manually Manage Music checked in iTunes? You need to check your iTunes settings before trying to put music on it. It may be that you have it set to sync. Check the Summary page of iTunes after you have selected the iPhone in iTunes.
