Looks like I can no longer transfer my iTunes music library directly to my iPhone (iOS6.1)?

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS6.1 and now it looks like I can only transfer music from my iTunes on my laptop using the cloud. I do not want to sync my music autonatically, I manually manage my music. Help. Can anyone tell me how to do what I want or do I have to revert my OS back to the previous version?

Theodore
Okay lets check few things.  Tell me what you can see that is similar to mine.  I'll be travelling today so I have soem time now and later tonight ...  just so you don't thing I've "gone awol".
1.  In iTunes, Preferences > Device Preferences if you want manual then you should set the iPhone from syncing automatically
2.  Also check you have music in your iTunes Library
3.  Then on your device tab =Music you select Sync Music, slect your playlists annd then select apply in the lower right corner.
Let me know

  • How do I transfer my itunes music library to my new computer

    How do I transfer my itunes music library to my new computer (not a mac owner)?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes music library to a flash drive

    How do I transfer my iTunes music  library to a flash drive

    Drag and Drop the iTunes Folder to the Flash drive.
    Locate and organize your iTunes files - Apple Support
    Since this really has nothing to do with Appleworks (a long dead Officie suite of Apps), I'll request it be moved to the iTunes forum.

  • Transfer my iTunes music library from a Mac (10.4) to a PC (Windows 2000)

    Can I transfer my iTunes music library from a Mac (10.4) to a PC (Windows 2000) using a 5-gig jump drive (Sony)?

    I might suggest opening up the jump drive (or My Documents if you still have all your music there), then opening the iTunes folder, then the iTunes Music folder, then selecting all the folders in there and dragging them into iTunes while its open and on your Library playlist. This should tell iTunes to rebuild its iTunes Library.itl file and all the files should appear in your library then. This doesn't make duplicate copies of anything - or at least it didn't on my laptop.
    Problem with that is that I think you lose all your playlists, which you might not want. But if losing playlists is acceptable, then I think that will work for you.

  • How can I find tracks in itunes Music Library that I have NOT copied to my

    HI,
    I have more tracks in my iTunes music library than will fit on my iPod. for each track in my iTunes music libary I'd like to see whether or not that track is also on my iPod. I know I can do this track by track by looking up each track in the iPod directory but that could take months. What I want is to be able to filter or sort my iTunes music library by this attribute so I can visually scan down the list and see what I'd like to move over to the iPod (after making space on the iPod by deleting songs I'm tired of)
    How can I do this and what version of iTunes is needed.
    thanks -- Dan

    The .xml file is basically just a playlist of your entire Library. You can create one by going to your main Library List view and click File > Export.. - then just save a new .xml file to the desktop (or wherever).

  • Can I manually edit the iTunes Music Library.xml file

    Here's why.
    Noticed on my Apple TV that there were a number of podcasts that when selected would say "Apple TV cannot play the current song".
    Looked in iTunes and these podcasts are no where to be found. Did some searches in Spotlight and also, turned up zeros. Not found.
    I then looked directly into my iTunes Music Library.xml file and sure enough there are the records.
    What is odd is that the location of all the bad songs have a similar invalid path.
    Bad path.
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/iTunes/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Podcasts/KQED/podcast.mp3</string>
    Correct Path
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/iTunes/Music/Podcasts/KQED'/podcast.mp3</string>
    Now, all of these have dates that lead me to believe this was due to an iTunes upgrade back in September of 2005. It doesn't look like they are causing problems with iTunes itself. However, it is quite annoying for my Apple TV.
    Question. Is there a different way to fix this than just manually removing the entries from the xml file?
    I haven't tried to edit the iTunes Music Library.xml file just yet as I want to make I don't totally screw things up first.

    I did some additional testing here and I deleted the track information from the iTunes Music Library.xml
    On start up of iTunes, it does not add the deleted file back in. On the Apple TV, it still shows the bad file.
    What I think that means is that even the Apple TV gets its playlist information from another source.
    I have also started on another track which is to remove all of my podcasts from iTunes. Which I have now done.
    The only ones left are these bad tracks that only show up in the iTunes Music Library.xml file and more importantly on my Apple TV.
    I'd put this on the podcast or the Apple TV thread, but still believe this is an iTunes issue.

  • How can I back up my itunes music library to cd disk's

    I have already backed up my itunes music files on cd disks last year, but it's not up to date.I forgot the procedure to continue backing up music as I add it to my itunes library.Can someone help???

    The built-in feature to backup to CD/DVD was removed from iTunes 10.4. Use the tools provided with your CD/DVD burner, or see this User Tip for a comprehensive iTunes backup strategy.

  • Help I can no longer sync my entire music library to my iPhone 4S

    My iPhone 4S is no longer able to sync up with all of the music in my iTunes library. It seems to have stopped when I upgraded my phone with Apple software last month. And at the bottom of iTunes it shows that I only have used about 15% of the space! While it is trying to sync
    I do see some message about checking Safari whatever that is.

    Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
    When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

  • Can I change target for Itunes music library?

    I have 2 hard drives on my laptop and will actually need to buy an external hard drive as my laptop has less space than my iPod. I can't import all my CD's yet. Also, the C drive hold iTunes but I have a D drive that has about 12gigs to hold more space. Is there any way I can make my iTunes save the imports from CD's and the music store to that hard drive, or to any other hard drive (external)???
    Thanks!

    The files can be converted by clicking here and following the instructions, but if you're out of room due to the AIFFs, you can't convert any content without deleting some of them, which causes that content to need to be reimported.

  • How can I move my local iTunes music library on an external drive ?

    I have imported some of my personnal music CD's on the local drive of my Macbook. But now,  how can I move those on an external drive ?

    Just those few things or your whole library?  Very different processes depening upon details you have not yet provided.

  • I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

    I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?
    My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
    I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

  • Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6

    Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6. Diagnostics: Connectivity test-ipod found. Sync test -ipod not found. This problem began about 2 weeks ago. I downloaded itunes update 12.1.0.71 about 1 week ago. I'm on Windows 7.

    Do you mean a playlist created by Overdrive?
    I downloaded the newest version of ODM yesterday.  Couldn't do it from within the application, had to uninstall/reinstall it.  Here's what's happening now with WMA, which is my preferred format:
    -Instead of just moving the audiobook and cover graphic and all that over as in the past, now ODM creates a separate playlist under 'Books' in your device.  Problem is, only some (seemingly random) tracks go over there.  The others just show up under 'Books' but not in the specified playlist, so you have to drag them over in iTunes.
    -If you stop listening, it starts over from the beginning next time you're ready to resume, so if you expect to find your place again right away like in the good old days, think again.
    -For me the WORST PART is only so much data of that sort is permitted under 'Books' so it seems, because after a certain threshold the transferred parts of books become greyed out and cannot be played.  You are limited to far less data in a period of time than previously.  I used to be able to keep several books on my device at once and listen to multiple things depending on my mood etc.  Now I can fit about 2-3 big books, or 4-6 smaller ones, MUCH less than previously was possible, which is a problem if you've waited for a popular title at the library that you don't have the room for (even though you have plenty of memory in the device).
    All in all, I think ODM need to get their act together.  We should not allow them to think they are done with this upgrade, the fixes might be okay for temporary, but they are unacceptable for a permanent format.  They have a phone number on their website.  I left a message.  Others have been tweeting them too, not sure of the contact info.
    Good luck everyone.  Post back here if you find something out.

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

    I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

    You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.
