Not authorized to transfer music from computer to iphone?

I have 2 iphones. Mine is synced to my laptop and my wife's as been synced to her laptop but it identifies her phone as mine (on her laptop)-now mine was never synced on her laptop, thats the first problem. Second problem, I have an account with itunes which is accessed by my wife on her computer and also accessed by me on my laptop using the same password. When we download songs to the laptops and try to send them to the iphones by syncing to the laptops we both get a message telling us that we are not authorize to do this on each of our computers. She downloads songs to her laptop and I download songs to my laptop and then to each iphone respectively (well, at least we tried). I do not sync from her computer and she does not sync from my computer-we keep both separate. Why are we not authorized to upload to the iphone and what do I need to do to fix this. Thanx. ailimac

Dah on me, I never tried to play the songs -just tried to upload to iphone. After reading your reply I tried playing them on the laptops and I was asked to put in a password. Problem solve everything is going to where it should. Thanks alot.

  • How to transfer music from computer to iphone without deleting existing iphone purchases

    I am putting CDs into iTunes on a home computer (PC) and I want to put that music onto my iPhone.
    But the only option seems to involve deleting all my iPhone music, which includes purchases that I have recently made which I cannot synch to my computer.

    Syncing music does at least two things.
    1.  It can add to the device any music that is resident on the computer that is used for the sync
    2.  it can add any music from the mobile device to the computer if both are logged in (and authorized) to the same account that purchased the music.
    By the description in your post, I suspect that some music is on the device that was purchased with different Apple ID than the computer is authorized to.

  • I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes library , but not working

    I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes but its not working

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

  • HT1766 how to transfer app from computer to iphone?

    hw to transfer app from computer to iphone?? please help me!

    Connect the iPhone to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which is Apps - if you select that tab then you should be able to select which of your apps to sync to the phone (assuming that the apps are compatible with the phone e.g. you have the relevant IOS version on it). If you have bought/downloaded apps on your phone that aren't on your computer's iTunes then you may want to copy them to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases

  • New Mac Not Authorized To Play Music From iTunes Store

    My new Mac is not authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store. This was my error since I was a bit over exuberant and forgot to deauthorize my old computer before transferring the iTunes library using the setup assistant.
    I do not plan to keep my old computer and will delete the music. In order to retain all my old settings (e.g. copies still available), am I now able to repeat the transfer process using the migration assistant?
    I would like to simply deauthorize the old computer and then transfer the iTunes files a second time.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rod

    Just go to 'Store' in the menu bar in iTunes and select 'Authorize' to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account.
    If you have authorized 5 computers (the maximum), you can reset them all once a year from the account management section of iTunes Music Store. Access this by signing in and clicking the button labelled with your Apple ID in the top right of the iTunes Store window.
    You can transfer your entire iTunes library (ratings, playlists, date added, last played, playcount etc.) by just copying the entire iTunes folder (containing iTunes Library, iTunes Music and iTunes Music Library.xml) from your old Music folder to your new one.
    Make sure you back up all of your purchased music, it cannot be downloaded again!
    Hope that is helpful in some way!

  • How do i transfer music from itunes to iphone

    how do i transfer music from my itunes account to my iphone? I was able to sync purchases from my phone to itunes, but can't move my music to my phone.

    This series of posts was very helpful to me in fixing a problem I had encountered (apart from the various rude comments made by those who seem to have no patience with users who do not have their skill level...).  The problem that I had is as follows -- at least I think this was the problem. 
    For some time I had been managing my music on my iPhone manually.  That is, I simply dragged and dropped the music I wanted to my iPhone from my laptop using iTunes.  Then, suddenly (it seemed to me) all of the music I had put on my iPhone seemed to disappear except one album that I had recently bought.  I kept putting music on the iPhone, and it would work fine, and then it would disappear again.  I looked through manuals and settings and couldn't seem to figure this out.  Now what I've determined is that iTunes must have changed something in a more recent version that deletes music that is not "synced" with each new sync of the phone.  (dragging and dropping had worked on my iPhone and iPod for some years previously... but i think with an upgrade of the iTunes software things changed.)
    So, following the suggestions in this discussion, I went to iTunes with my phone plugged in.  Clicked on the device (i.e., my phone).  From the Music tab (at the top), clicked on Sync Music.  (Previously I had not followed through on this step, because there was a warning message that said all the content on my phone would be erased -- technically false, because it would only erase music on the phone, not everything.)  But when I did click on the Sync Music, accepted the warning, and then clicked on "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres," there then appeared a very nice set of checklists that allows for on-going management of music on the iPhone.  (I didn't know about this checklist because it didn't appear...  I had thought that "checking" was something that was to be done from the main music menus...)
    Anyway, the system of checking playlists, albums, etc. is quite nice for managing music on the phone, because my phone will not hold all of the music that I own, so I can update the phone by syncing so that it holds only that portion of the library that I want to use at the moment.  (Sometimes I'm listening to the Blues on a daily basis, sometimes to Beethoven...) So, even though this discussion didn't tell me all of this, it did give me the lead that I needed to get there. 
    So, as a comment to our rude fellow commentators here:  I've been working with Macs and Apple equipment for over 20 years.  I don't go back to re-read all of the manuals every time I upgrade software.  And when Apple doesn't tell you that they've changed something in their software that invalidates a procedure that you've been using for years, it can look very strange.  Then, when you do go to the manuals to search for the problem, rarely do you find (at lease rarely do I find) any explanation that a new procedure is in fact a new procedure that invalidates an old and trusted procedure.  This is a problem that I run into periodically, and it makes me feel stupid, and it may make my questions posted to forums seem stupid to others.  Other users are new to Apple, its software, its devices, and may have other reasons for asking simple questions.  If the question is so simple to you that you don't want to waste your time with it... well... then don't.  But don't insult other people who need help.  Leave it to those who can take the time to be courteous and helpful.  In this case, even though I'm a long-time user, it was responses to really basic questions that led me to the fix for a problem that had been annoying me for weeks. 
    So, thanks to those of you with simple, basic questions, and thanks also to those of you who helped.
