My music won't transfer from my computer to my phone-what's wrong?

i just bought a mac and i am trying to put music i bought on this mac onto my iPhone but it won't sync, a little icon with a number comes up but when I drag it to my phone it just pops back to my library. What's going on???

If they are video podcasts, they now appear in the Video app after iOS 5.

  • HT201269 i just got my iphone5s. Icloud won't transfer my contacts to the new phone. what do i do?

    What do I do when Icloud won't transfer my contacts to my new Iphone 5s?

    MobileGo for iOS is a way easier way of transferring between iOS device if you've got a iphone 5s. did this yesterday myself, and it pulled all my contacts, messages, calendars, music, photos, videos and notes out of iTunes and organised them perfectly on my iPad.

  • Home Sharing - how to get music files to transfer from one computer to another...

    I have two computers in my home authorised for Home Sharing - I have no problems locating the other library on either of my computers. However, when I am on iTunes in Computer A and I click onto Computer B's music library (so that I can transfer music file to Computer A) I am unable to move Computer B's music into Computer A. I have both iTunes open on each computer and ther are both using the same Wifi connection.
    In iTunes Help, it says:
         - select the music files that I want to share into Computer A. (this bit I can do).
         - in the 'show' menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, select 'items not in my library'. This is where I run into trouble - there does not appear to be any such menu!
         - select items I wish to import, then click on 'import'. - again, no such button appears to exist!
    I have updated my iTunes software to the latest version available on both computers. This is very frustrating for something that should be quite simple - I would very much appreciate any suggestions or solutions...

    Hi arastis10,
    If you are having issues transfering songs between computers set up for Home Sharing, you may find the following articles helpful:
    Apple Support: Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
    With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or simply drag music between computer libraries. You can also choose to have iTunes automatically import purchases you make on any of your Home Sharing computers to your own library. To do so, select the library and use the Settings button at the lower right of the iTunes window to check what you'd like copied.

  • My itunes music won't transfer from iMovie to quicktime

    I really need help. My iMovie works perfectly but I need help uploading my video to quicktime. I can do that but as it is compressing it says my iTunes music is not authorized. It asks to authorize it and i do about 4 times and it finishes. Then i access it on quicktime none of the music works. I've been trying to compress the video in different ways and it still says my iTunes music does not work. Please help me figure out my problem.

    I am also having difficulty with this same thing. It says that my iTunes music is not authorized no matter if I use my own imported CDs in the project or songs I have purchased from the iTunes store. I have to keep getting the same songs "authorized" throughout the time I am working on my project. Sorry to say, I have not figured out an answer as of yet. GOOD LUCK! To the Genius Bar tomorrow!!!

  • HT1296 I have switched from a Exchange account to an imap account and now my contacts won't sync from my computer to my iPhone - what to do?

    I have switiched from an Exchange account (which I just deleted) to a imap account account. But I can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my laptop onto my new account.
    What should I do?

    What do you mean the ones "unique" to your phone? If you were not syncing them with something, they are gone. They are only part of the backup to preserve the list of favorite numbers and recent calls.
    Don't worry about having to restore the previous OS. You can not do so at all.

  • My music won't sync from computer to ipod

    My music( 234 songs, no videos or movies) won't sync from my computer to my ipod. This is really annoying and I had 42 songs on my ipod, knew I was missong 90 or so songs, synved it and checked my ipod...19 songs. I was so annoyed. It is not about space because the songs take up 1.18 gb and I have 1.71 gb left. Please help because I am getting to that stage where it is not about games but songs.!

    Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent sysncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can I move music from my computer to my phone?

    HI everyone,
    Just bought a Palm Pre Plus and was wondering if it was posisble to pull MP3 files from my computer to my phone.
    Do I need any software installed on my phone or PC before it plug it in via USB?

    06Charger wrote:
    If you plug your phone into your computer using USB, tell it "just charge", go into My Computer on your PC, and you should see your Palm Pre Plus as a drive (just like your E: or D: drives).  Open the folder and drag and drop your files.  Hope this helps.
    Won't work using "Just Charge" Has to select USB Drive, Just Charge will let Java and stuff access the phones core, But USB Drive is the only way to access the User Drive on the Phone. It also takes the Phone Offline while in USB mode, It's only a flash drive when connected this way. Then Just Drag and Drop.

  • I have allowed my iTunes Match subscription to expire, because of a limited data plan so can't listen to music outside my house. My music files were removed from my computer and are inaccessible without renewing the subscription. How do I get them back?

    Hi,
    I presume you deleted the original files as match would not have done so. Do you have a back up. If so, restore your music from that. If not, your will have lost all your music as this needed to be on your hard drive when you unsubscribed.

    - go on iTunes

    Are there more than one albums there?
    - ctrl+click each individual album that has been separated
    - right click the album in question with them selected
    - album info
    - update every field to reflect the same except the song title
    --genre and album should reflect the same. Sometimes they separate too
    - hit ok
    If the same on iTunes but not the iPhone
    - remove all songs and videos
    - add them again to replace the defected albums
