Library transfer to phone

I have audiobooks on macbook and they show up on iphone as shared. How can I get them into iphone permanently where they will play later?

In what format did you import the cds?
I have never had an issue with this.

I have purchased music from itunes on my iphone and it won't show up in my Ipod music library on my phone. It shows up in my itunes library on my computer. This is a recent glitch as up until this week purchased music downloads fine on phone.

I purchased music on itunes on my iphone and the songs won't show up in my music library on the phone. They are on my computer itunes library but it won't let me transfer the purchases back to my phone (which I have never had to do before). Never had this problem before this week when purchasing music on my iphone.
My Itunes library on my laptop is slightly different from my Iphone library so I don't want to erase and sync the entire library.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.

How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

How to get library onto new phone

I just got my IPhone yesterday and when I set it up on my computer at home I noticed that there was another level of music, movies, and TV shows. It looks like it's created a new library or something for my IPhone. How can I get my existing library onto the phone? Also, will I be able to buy from my wish list, which I have created on the computer on both the computer and the phone? If I'm not able to do that now, how can I set this up?

I tried what you suggested, but didn't want to do that for all 593 songs in my library. Now I have two other questions, one relating to music management and one not.
1. All my music transfered, but none of my playlists did. How do I get all my playlists to transfer as well?
2. When I set up my phone I think it set up a new account or something. When I tried to purchase an app, it said that I had to verify my payment method, but I've never had to do that before. I have some credit on the account that I've been using, how do I get that to transfer over so I can purchase from both devices? Also, relating to this, I created a wish list in ITunes on the computer. How do I access this from the phone?

New PC, new itunes, and iphone. Having issues with pairing/authorization/library transfer

Hello all,
I recently got a new PC. Before unplugging the old one, I deauthorized it from itunes. I immediately authorized the new computer. I also have cloud syncing on (for all the good it's doing me)
(HATE the new itunes btw - I find the user interface SUPER confusing and none of the itunes articles use the new version for reference).
Anyway, I must have messed up the initial sync or something. For some reason it's recognizes all of my apps, and happily adding anything I download from the phone back onto the computer - but everything else is a mess. I had to recreate my podcast subscriptions (no biggie) but it won't let me sync my music library back and forth (nor my audio books). It only seems to want to let me erase my music library on the phone with the mostly empty one on the computer. It's not recognizing the playlists from my phone at all on the PC, and today I bought some new songs on the PC and it won't let me add them to those playlists.
I even tried "transferring" back....but it's still not letting me access playlists and music libary
Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated. I'm not particularly interested in losing my entire music library that's on my phone. If I had to lose anything I guess I'd prefer to lose the songs I bought today on the PC.

Copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location on the new one. It is trying to erase the phone because the phone is synced to the library on the old computer and does not recognize the one on the new computer. You can transfer purchases from a phone to a computer but otherwise file transfer is one direction, computer to phone.

How Do I Transfer My Phone # To My New Phone?

I would really appreciate any feedback, as soon as posible!
Here's the gist:
My old phone is crap, so I ordered a new one online. The new one is the EXACT same phone as my old one. Model, Verizon powered, etc
How do I transfer my phone number to this new 1? Does it transfer automatically when I activate it? I was told to call *228 or something on the new phone, but I dont see how that will transfer my number.
Thank you in advance you guys!

Yes, dialing *228 on the new phone (make sure the old one is OFF) and choosing option1 will begin the process. You will be asked to input the # you are calling about (that tells Verizon what number you want to use on the new phone), and the billing passcode (to be sure you are authorized on the account) and if all is in order, you'll listen to some weird music while the phone is programmed to the number you input.
If there is an issue you will be instructed to call customer service.
HTH,

My phone and number is on another persons account. If I start my own account, can I transfer the phone and number to it? If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?

My phone and phone number are on another persons account. If I open my own account with Verizon, can I transfer the phone and number to it? What steps do I need to take to accomplish this?

I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

Are you syncing to a different computer? Iphone will sycn with only one at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync. What do you care if it erases? You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.

The phone should have activated when you set the device up. If it didnt, contact your carrier

Not sure if this is the correct area but I synch my iphone and now I have a photo library on my phone and can't delete those photos and it has taken up all my storage

I backed up my iphone to my computer and now I have a photo library on my phone with all of the photos from my computer and it has taken up all of my storage on my phone. I can not delete the photos from my phone. How do I fix this?

Thats because you have selected to sync the pictures too in your iTunes library. You won't be able to delete these from iPhone. You will have to uncheck it under iTunes, under sync options. Or remove the pictures folder there, or move all the pictures from that folder to other location, and sync again, the pictures from your iPhone then will be gone.

HT4236 Syncing my photo library to my phone, albums out of order

Syncing my Aperture photo library to my phone from my Yosemite MacBook Pro (I also tried it with iPhoto and same store), the projects (called albums in iPhoto) are all out of order - just random. I use a naming convention of date then name with the date in the format YYYYMMDD so even if it were to be resorted, they would be in chronological order. They are in that order within Aperture and also on the screen in iTunes where I select which projects I wish to sync. But then after syncing, they are all there in the Photos app, but in random order. I'm a photographer and often need to access a photo from a session that I need to be able to find quickly and I pretty much can find what I need when it's sorted correctly. I believe this problem only came about after a recent update of the software, which may have been with Yosemite. Please help. Thanks. Steven

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

Hey there Sparkly3gs,
It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

After a sync one song will not transfer to phone

After a sync one song will not transfer to phone in any playlists, what is wrong?

I don't know what happened. I plugged in the phone today (like I have done just about every day) to sync and charge and the movie transferred this time. I have no idea what changed between now and last night. I haven't even rebooted either the phone or computer. Go figure. As Gilda Radner once famously said on SNL as Rosanne Rosanadana, "Nevermind".

- i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back ?

- i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back without having to sync my phone to the library where my ringtones are and possibly lose everything on my phone ?

From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps!
