My itunes won't put music onto my iphone, i'll click and drag to my phone but it won't take it. How do I fix that?
Please help me out...

You can only do that if you switch manually manage ON.
Connect iPhone to iTunes, select iPhone in iTunes left panel, go to Summary tab and switch Manually manage music and videos to ON.

  • My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone

    My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone or take music off. Everytime I go to sync it it says I dont have enough space but I clearly have more than enough space left. I also am trying to take music off of my iphone so I can put new music on but everytime this box pops up and I really dont know what to do.

    I think you have misunderstood the message you see.
    The message states that you need an additional 1.93GB as well as the 3.93GB shown in the capacity bar. So it requires a total of 5.86GB.
    There are a couple of things you can try:
    Click on the OK button (in that message) and then deselect the media that you wish to remove. Once you have un-ticked the Playlists, or albums or whatever, click on the Sync button again to allow iTunes to Sync. It will then remove the un-ticked items, leaving space to add the 5.86GB that you are trying to add. If you continue to see the same message, but with a smaller additional amount required, then you have not deselected enough items.
    Check how much space is being used by the "Other" category (shown in the capacity bar). While there will always be a small amount of Other on an iPod, anything over 1GB is probably not correct. Usually, a Sync will sort this out. If it doesn't then you may have to perform a Restore procedure, but I suggest you use that only as a last resort.

  • I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help?

    I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help? I'd really rather not completely empty my iPhone in order to have it agree with this new laptop. How do I get them to talk to one another and let me put my music on my iPhone?

    The iPhone will only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

  • What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

    What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

    Hi DVX100Shooter,
    Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it. 
    Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
    In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
    The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
    Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    The shared family photo album is available to all family members.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Im trying to put music on my iphone. when i click music all it says is "itunes match is on" and only lets me click a box that says "sync voice memos" what do i do

    Im trying to put music on my iPhone, when i click music all kt says is itunes match is on and has a box for me to click sync voice memos nothing else what do i do

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • I gifted a ringtone to my sister that I purchased from the iTunes store, and it is on her phone, but we can't figure out how to get it moved to her ringtones.  Can anyone help?

    I gifted a ringtone to my sister that I purchased from the iTunes store, and it is on her phone, but we can't figure out how to get it moved to her ringtones.  Can anyone help?

    Edit > Preferences.  Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes. 
    Not sure that really answers your question though.

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

  • Can't put music onto my Iphone 4 or listen to any music previously on it. Help!!

    Hello. For the past 2 weeks every single time ive tried to put any music onto my iphone 4 it comes up as not sync'd and on my phone it shows the song with a little red square and a red circle around it. Yesturday I tried again but this time all 1500 songs on my phone started showing the red square and circle. I have updated to iOS7 but not the update since then as that update has done enough damage to my phone as is. Does anyone know how I can fix this as music is the entire reason I ever bought an Iphone to begin with..
    This is what my itunes looks like now, after all songs have been deleted because I figured maybe that would help.
    Here is what it looks like on my phone
    I deleted every song off of my phone on the phone and on itunes but as i was getting the pictures together for this post apparently all the music i deleted is back on my phone but all still with the red square and circle.

    Connect your Device to Computer. Select your iPhone under "Devices" on the left Pane. On the right Pane, select MUSIC tab. Make sure SYNC MUSIC box is checked. Then click the SYNC button on the lower right Window.

  • ITunes will not manually sync music onto my iPhone 5. When I drag my music onto the iPhone, the icon "bounces" and then the sidebar closes, not syncing the music.

    I've tried restarting my computer, iTunes, unplugging my iPhone and nothing will fix it.

    Also, some of the music I want to add to my iPhone will sync but some won't.

  • Putting music onto an iphone 5 using a MacBook.

    I recently purchased an iphone 5 and want to put music on it. Apparently the iphone 5 needs an itunes version greater than 10.7. I have a MacBook that, apparently, will not allow an update further than itunes 10.6. What do I do?

    You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and then run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • HT201272 1 track from iTunes is only playing until 3:50 (should be 14:48). Rest of album is OK. Happens on computer & iPod. How do I fix that track? "Purchased (new)" on right side of iTunes doesn't give me a Music option - just Apps and Books.

    Hello,
    I've purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes store. It has 5 tracks. Tracks 1-4 are all fine. Track 5 is broken - it should have approx 15 minutes of music, but only plays to just under 4 minutes. This happens on my computer and on my iPod. How can I fix this please?
    I've tried going to the "Purchased (new)" option in the quick links on the right hand side of the iTunes store. I thought I'd see an option for "Music" on the page it takes me to, but I don't get that option: I only see Apps and Books.
    I'm using the computer that I purchased and downloaded the album from. It is authorised for this account.
    I'm not aware of interrupting the download yesterday - it all seemed OK to me at the time and I thought it had completed successfully.
    The album is Dvořák: Cello Concerto, Zuill Bailey, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra & Jun Markl. It's the last track (In Nature's Realm) that's got the problem.
    Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately you can't redownload music in all countries, as you have found.
    You can however contact iTunes support regarding this issue here:

  • TS1967 My iTunes library no longer has all of my music or playlists. When I click "On this iPod" it shows everything, but it's greyed out. How can I get my iTunes library back to normal?

    I am not sure why, but everything in my library is gone. I no longer see my songs, or my playlist.
    When I click on "on ipod" in my itunes, it shows everything how it should be, but it's grey so I can't click on anything. Is there a way to transfer all of that to my itunes again? Or is there a setting for this? I am so confused, I have no idea how/when this even happened!

    Hello MeggiePie86,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Before you go through the process of importing your music from your iPod, check to see if the music is already on your computer.  Check in the Following path C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes.  I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card.  What am I doing wrong?

    I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card.  What should I do?

    Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card?  What exact error messages are you seeing?
