Loading music onto iPhone from Dell

I have music on my computer that I listen to using iTunes (the latest version), but syncing doesn't put it on my iPhone. I have synced a number of times now, and there is not one song in my phone, even though them in my iTunes files on my computer. Is buying from the iTunes store the only way to get music in my iPhone?

Purchasing music from the iTunes Store is not required in order to transfer music to an iPod or iPhone. I have a number of songs in my iTunes library that were imported from music CDs and they transfer to and play on my iPod and iPhone.
Where did this music originate? Was the music imported into your iTunes library from a music CD?
If so, which iTunes encoder setting did you use for the import such as AAC or MP3?
What do you have selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Is Sync Music selected at the top and if so, do you have all songs and playlists selected or selected playlists?

  • Why can't I load music onto iPhone 4?

    I can't load any music onto my iPhone 4. Here is a screen shot of iTunes which says I have 1.51 GB of free memory and I'm only trying to load a few MB of music onto it. It gives me an error message that I need something like 540 MB more memory. It also says I have a bunch of music on my iPhone which I don't. (I have like 1 song on the phone right now.) What should I do?

    Hi, it's not that iTunes doesn't work, but required you more more space for the songs. I think you should try to clean some space and try to sync music to your iPhone again. And before doing the sync, you can check how much space has been taken for music (tap Settings > General > Usage > Music). If you say only 1 song is here, then maybe it only take several KB. If there are other songs, there maybe several MB.

  • TS4124 getting music onto iPhone from iCloud

    I have one song that is "ineligible" to be uploaded to iCloud, I think because it's encoded at 64 kpbs.  I have tried to re-convert it to an mp3, but only 14:09 of 33:07 ever comes over. All I really want to do is get it onto my iPhone.  Help?

    If your Mac can burn CDs,  and your song is not ineligible because it is a "protected" track,  try this in iTunes:
    See:  Re: iTunes Match Ineligible Tracks
    Create a playlist with this song
    Burn the Playlist as an audio CD
    Reimport the CD to iTunes
    Now the track should either upload or match.

  • Importing music onto iPhone from my Library?

    Doesn't allow me to do it. Are we not allowed to? or am I doing something wrong?

    Weird... dragging of songs onto my iPhone is the only thing that works for me. AT&T messed up the config on my SIM card during the activation process while trying to transfer my number, and now I have to return it for a new card after talking with their tech "support" for over 4 hours today.
    So basically I have, literally, an iPhone Shuffle.
    That said, the other 3 phones on our plan work, but do not allow songs to be dragged.

  • Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone use iTunes on my Mac without a problem? I have no music on the Mac because it is new. Can I download music onto iPhone on both PC and Mac?

    Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
    I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone.  When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do.  I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working.  I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it.  So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?

    StoneMountainGirl,
    No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time.  If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

    I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

  • With the new ios7, can I not load music onto my phone anymore?

    I've downloaded the new ios7 and now it seems I can't load music onto my phone anymore?  I have a 4s. I plug it in to iTunes and it says that the phone doesn't have a current version of iTunes on it.  I've searched in the app store and can't find one.
    Instead I'm stuck with the player trying to play songs through my cloud and it's not even doing that properly.

  • Loading music onto smartwatch 3

    Hi
    Has anyone figured out how to load music onto the sw3 4gb internal memory. i have try plugging it into my pc,but it dosnt show up.
    Take care
    Stuart

    I had to add music into play music on the Web, download it to the phone from play music, then it automatically downloads to the sw3 when the download to android wear box is ticked. It kept stopping for me at first, I'm assuming as the battery was below 50% but after a quick charge it downloaded without issue.

    If you want to be able to access your entire music library from iCloud, you'll have to subscribe to iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  Music purchased from the iTunes store is already in iCloud as it can be redownloaded at any time (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

  • Is it possible to load music onto an iPod in Disc Mode?

    Hi guys,
    Is it possible to load music onto an iPod in Disc Mode?
    I recently sold my 5th Gen 30Gb iPod on eBay, about a week later the buyer sent it back claiming it was faulty, he could not switch it on etc etc...
    Within a few minutes I had it running again, but was making a clicking sound. So I put it into disc mode, connected it to my G4 and found out that the seller had managed to change the name of the iPod, delete some of my music, load some of their music onto the iPod and play that music.
    My question is would they have been able to do all that in disc mode? Or would the iPod have to have been fully functional? Let alone using third party software to extract my songs that were already on the iPod.
    I think they received a perfectly working iPod, used it, damaged it, were unable to fix it (couldn't be bothered to find out how) and so sent it back claiming it was faulty all along.
    Thanks for any help and advice anyone can give.
    Alex

    Thanks, I realise that now.
    It turns out that the buyer reformatted the iPod for Windows.
    Would they have been able to do that in Disc Mode?
    Or would the iPod have to have been fully functional?
    I'm trying to prove that the iPod was indeed fully functional when they received it, because they were able to reformat it, rename it, delete some of my music and load some of their own music.

    Normally you would restore the backup of the computer, but you say you don't have a backup of the computer. That is a shame. See this user hint to try and rebuild your library. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
