IPhone and wireless music?

Seems simple (of course I am not an engineer) but if the iPhone has wifi AND has itunes, shouldn't we be able to see the rest of our music library through the wireless network? and be able to play music wirelessly while we are in range?
This feature may quiet all of the people who thought the iPhone should come with more on board memory.
Just a thought.

The iPhone does not include the iTunes application. It includes a link to the iTunes Music Store which can be connected to via Wi-Fi only for purchasing and downloading music from the iTunes Store to the iPhone and there is a difference and not as simple as it may seem.
The iPhone does not have more storage (not memory) since it uses Flash storage and not a hard drive which is better suited for cell phone use. As Flash storage cost continues to drop and this storage technology improves allowing greater storage capacity and a reasonable cost, it will increase. The iPod Touch comes with 16GB so it is heading in that direction slowly but surely.

  • My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.

    You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

  • Syncing  iphone and uploading music to iMac from  phone

    We're trying to upload music from an iphone and also sync the iphone to an imac...
    We seem to be missing a step in the work flow to make this happen...
    We are also syncing this phone to this iMac for the first time.
    We also want to make sure we don't lose the music, since it's original.
    Ideas?
    Thanks!

    Are you trying to copy music from your iPhone onto your mac? iTunes will not let you do that, it only lets you move music from your computer to your iPhone - one way - or delete it from your iPhone.
    Have you synced the iPhone with any other computer in the past? Your iPhone will be linked to your iTunes account. If you try to link it to another account iTunes will wipe the phone first.

  • Sync problem between iPhone and iTunes (Music&Books)

    Hello, I have a synchronization problem between the macbook and iPhone  5S. On the macbook I've Maverik updated and also the Iphone is updated.
    First problem: the timing so long, especially at the step of applications, compared to when it was fast, applications have not changed.
    Second problem: the music, I flagged "synchronizes the selected music" but all the flags on the selected artists are missing, despite what the music is on iPhone . I tried to flag again on itunes but all song was duplicate in Iphone.
    Third problem: the books, it happens the same music.
    The problem does not occur with the photo with the ringtones and videos.
    I've tried everything from simple restart of the mac and the iPhone, checked and updated macbook, iPhone and itunes. Repaired permissions on the mac.
    What can I do?
    thanks
    Bye
    Ciao, da un po' di giorni ho un problema di sincronizzazione fra il macbook e l' Iphone 5S. Sul macbook ho Maverik aggiornato e anche il telefono non JB è aggiornato.
    Primo problema: la sincronizzazione dura tanto, sopratutto allo step delle applicazioni, rispetto a quando era veloce le applicazioni non sono cambiate.
    Secondo problema: la musica, ho flaggato "sincronizza la musica selezionata" ma sono spariti tutti i flag sugli artisti selezionati, ciò nonostante la musica è presente sull' iphone. Ho provato a riselezionarli e me li duplica tutti.
    Terzo problema: i libri, succede la stessa della musica.
    Il problema non si manifesta con le foto con le suonerie e i video.
    Ho provato di tutto a partire dal semplice riavvio del mac e del telefono, controllato e aggiornato macbook, telefono e itunes. Riparato permessi sul mac.
    Cosa posso fare?
    grazie
    ciao

  • Looking for a way to save space on iphone and maintain music in itunes

    Okay here is the problem, I own a macbook pro and a iphone 16gb and I have been using itunes to manage my music for a very long time and my library has grown into thousands of songs.
    Now, Is there a way to convert my music down to fit more on my iphone yet maintain my high bit-rate that I used to rip my CD's.
    I was thinking of converting all my music and having two of all my songs, high bit-rate(for playing on my stereo system) & and converted bit-rate(for my iphone) but I do not want genius to mess up and a crazily duplicated library.
    Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

    ALL of your problems are caused by not allowing your router to broadcast its SSID.
    Just turn that on and it will work just fine.
    Not broadcasting your SSID provides no real security. Guys who can hack your wifi will find your SSID via AirSnort in about 3 seconds flat.
    Broadcasting an SSID has NOTHING to do with turning off security.
    You already have wpa2 turned on. Leave it on, and simply tell the router to broadcast its SSID, enter the passphrase once more, and you will be a happy camper.

  • Iphone and wireless router

    I can't get my iphone to work wirelessly with my Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I just upgraded the wireless firmware. Anyone else have this problem. My HP laptop has no problems connecting.

    Hey mailman7,
    Try forgetting the Wi-Fi network and then joining again. Goto Settings> Wi-Fi> tap the blue (>), then forget this network. This article provides other general tips: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305715
    What is the iPhones IP address?
    Try changing the wireless security to WPA2 Personal.

  • Airport Express with Orange LiveBox and Wireless Music

    I just purchased an Airport Express with the intention of using it for streaming music wirelessly to play through my AV receiver.
    I managed to get this working without any problems.
    However I use an orange Livebox (wireless modem) for my Internet connection.
    Is it possible to use Airport for both as when I set up the Airpor Express it started its own network thus if I wanted to use it I had to switch from my Internet connection.
    My Livebox and AV Receiver are in different rooms if that makes any difference.
    Cheers

    Configure your AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • I transferred all my music to my new computer, went to sync my iphone and the music library won't sync. It's like it's leaving the old library on and trying to add a duplicate one, keeps saying there isn't enough room. Help please?

    Everything from my old computer is still in the music portion of my phone, I don't know how but it hasn't synced that part.  I went through and edited the new library and there are fewer songs, it's telling my I don't have enough room on my phone.  This is impossible when it is less music than I am currently holding.  How do I get it to delete the old information and put on the new library?

    How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
    The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.

  • Iphone and wireless internet

    My question is whether an iphone would work via the wireless internet from my broadband??

    Marvin,
    If you have a wireless router connected to your broadband internet, you should be able to connect the iPhone to it. For more information on connecting your iPhone to your Wi-Fi network, check out these articles:

  • Buying music and apps on iPhone and on iTunes

    Ok, so for the past while, iTunes has been unable to recognize my iPhone and therefor, i havnt been syncing it to my iTunes library. What I have been doing is redeeming iTunes cards on my iPhone and buying music and apps directly on it. Now I finally got around to updating my iTunes, and it recognizes my iPhone. Is there anyway to sync my iPhone to my libary, without losing the musics and apps ive purchased on using the iTunes and App Store apps on my iPhone?

    Authorize the computer from the Store menu if needed, connect the iPhone, and choose Transfer Purchases from the dialog box which appears or the File menu.
