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.

  • How to I put the music from my itunes library onto my iphone 4s using icloud?

As soon as we close itunes it disappears from the phone. Can I use icloud to do it or do I have to plug in my phone to the computer or is it even possible. We did it on our ipad and it seemed to work fine. Do i have to get that imatch?

  • 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 can I get my music from my Itunes library after I replaced my hard drive?

    How can I get my music from my Itunes library (purchased and downloaded (CD)) after I replaced my hard drive?  Same account name.  My other computer see's old and new music.  Can purchace new songs.  They show up by themselves.  Can connect IPOD and old songs show up.  Seem's like they are defined as different accounts.

    They will only be where you put them.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

    I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer.  I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
    My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
    Any advice/help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't Autofill [Transfer] Files From my iTunes Library to my iphone?!

    Hello, there
    I'm facing an issue, recently I can't autofill music files from my music library into my iphone.. and the strange thing is some music files I have managed to autofill
    them to my iphone... I tried to uninstall and install itunes again no use.. I have the latest version
    when I do autofill a song to my iphone there is a circle next to the title of the song in the playlist of my iphone in itunes and I can't play it
    I tried in the music library in itunes to make an AAC version of the mp3 song then autofill it and it worked some times
    here is a pic of the problem...
    anybody has a clue?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • 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.
