I want to transfer select music from my Mac to my Iphone 5 manually Do not want to use synch

I want to transfer select music files FROM my Mac Air (OSX Ver 10.9.2) to my Iphone 5 and do not want to synch my devices. I really do not
want to utilize itunes. I'm a new apple user and I am finding very simple tasks on the Mac and Apple devices very ridged. I do
need help in the music area.
thank you very much for your help. It will be greatly appreciated.

You very well may be correct but I find it hard to believe that everything on my iphone is automatically copied to my Mac and vise versa. I know there are apps out there that allow specific files on the Iphone to be copies to the Mac or PC without going through itunes. (I have one on the Mac and Iphone for trsf of Photo's) This app is a quick 1,2,3 process, no itunes involvement and they drop where I want in the file that I chose.
I'm now in the process of finding the same type of app for music that by-passes the old antiquated itune platform.
Again you may be 100% correct, and I do appreciate your comment, but I am still hopeful someone is aware of another cleaner approach.
thankyou

    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.

    Via the iTunes sync process.
    And deleting music from your iPhone can be done the same way or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 5, you can delete songs direct from the iPhone one at a time.

  • How to share music from my Mac to my iPhone

    hi
    how to share music from my Mac to my iphone 5s through itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do mean via home sharing which is only possible when on the same network and iTunes is running or do you want to sync the content soit's always on your phone.

  • How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my iPhone? I've already checked the sync only checked songs and videos box, the manually manage music and videos box. I only want to sync the songs I checked, but it transfers all the music.

    I dont want to transfer all the music just the checked ones. My macbook transfers all the music from my library to my iphone. I dont get it. Please if you could help that would be terrific. 

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • How do I transfer my music from my mac mini running mountain lion to iPad 2. I have ICloud running, why are they not automatically pushed to the ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I do it without deleting everything on the IPad2?

    I have a new MacMini onto which I have installed music files. I want to transfer them to my IPad2 . I have ICloud working properly, or so I thought, so why are these files not appearing on my Ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I sync without erasing what is already on the IPad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the procedure for syncing music to the iPad.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    iCloud does not transfer the music on the Mac to the iPad unless you download it again on the iPad. iTunes Match may be what you are thinking of and you have to subscribe to that feature for a fee.
    You have to sync the music that is already in your iTunes library to the iPad using iTunes. You can turn on Automatic Downloads on both devices for music and when you download music on one device it will download to the other device.
    I get the feeling that you have never synced the iPad with iTunes before but you already have content on the iOad and are getting a message that the iPad will be erased if you sync with iTunes. If that is true, you need to transfer all iPad content into iTunes before you sync. This will help you with that.

  • Can I transfer my iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone?

    I got a new iPhone 5s recently and unfortunately my backup on my previous phone wasn't up to date. That phone has been wiped clean and is long gone now. I also have a Mac and have all my recent iMessages up to date on my Mac. (All archived) The iMessages that show on my new phone are old and I want to see if there is a way to transfer the iMessages from my Mac to my phone in order for it to be up to date. I understand that backing it up to the iCloud would have been the easiest way to go about it, but I believe that my last backup didn't complete because of a lack of space and I got a new phone before fixing that problem. Any help would be great! I would also like to do this for the Notes app as well.

    Sorry, no. There is no way to restore those iMessages or Notes without a backup.
