Problem to transfer songs from iMac to iPhone 4

Hi folks!
Since I formatted my Mac I can not transfer music from my HD for the iPhone. Can you help?
I'm using OSXLion and iOS 5
Cheers!

Hi Ana,
When I select and drag music onto my iPhone in iTunes it just does not transfer.
I know, it's bizarre
Cheers

How do I transfer songs from imac to iPhone?

You can connect your iPhone to your computer. Once your phone is connected via the USB cable to the computer, iTunes should launch. If it doesn't, you can launch iTunes manually.
In iTunes, you should see your iPhone button appear at the top right next to the iTunes Store button (this is for iTunes 11). Click on that button and you can choose how or what songs you want to sync over to iTunes.

How to manually transfer songs from iMac to iphone

Hoping someone can help. I have a macbook air, an imac and an iphone. The imac has my main music library, simply made up from my own CDs uploaded into it and individual songs and albums purchased off itunes. I simply want to be able to move songs and albums between the 3 devices and so far have not been able to do this. This is extremely frustrating as not only have I bought and paid for all of the music (itunes have done especially well out of me!), but these are expensive and sophisticated devices and yet they will not let me listen to my own music on them!
So to keep it simple, here is what I would really appreciate some help with. Currently my iphone is synced with my macbook air and therefore has some of the macbook air itunes library on it. The iphone will not accept any songs from the imac, purchased or downloaded form my CDs and I cannot delete the songs on the iphone that I don't want. They keep popping back up when I do manage to delete them, then have to be downloaded again just so I can delete them again! So ideally I would like to wipe all of the music off my iphone and start again. And starting again I would like to simply be able to upload my own CDs from the imac in my itunes library on the imac onto the phone, and to upload songs and albums downloaded from itunes on the imac, onto the iphone.
Despite my furstration up until now I have been a big fan of apple products, but not being able to manage my own music on my own devices in a simple and uaser freindly amnner is driving me crazy! The intelligent and intuitive navigation and functionality that apple has built its reputation on completely falls down when it comes to itunes and music, for me at least and to add insult to injury they are making a fortune off people like me on itunes!
Any help gratefully received.

My iPHone is connected to my iMac, and I want to transfer files from iMace to IPhone. Instructions say to go to iTunes, look under Devices for my Device. I do so, and no devices are listed. How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPhone?

Make sure your iMac is on 10.6.8 or higher and your iTunes is up to date. If it is, then restart your computer, open iTunes, then plug in your device. If it still is not showing up, follow the steps listed here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

I cannot transfer songs from itunes to iphone

when i try to transfer songs from my itunes to iphone 4 they are greyed out and do not play.. and cannot see it in iphone

Go into itunes on the iPhone, select the purchased menu, then select "not on this iPhone". If you then re-download anything that shows up and re-sync to itunes it should be all fixed. This worked for me anyway.

I am no longer able to transfer songs from iTunes to iPhone 4

I have been unable to transfer music from iTunes to my iPhone 4 ever since I downloaded iOS 7.0.4. I have restarted everything, checked settings, clicked on all song and then none at all. I have backed up and synced at least 10 times. I have no idea how to fix this problem.

It would go through the motions of syncing and show steps 1-5, then it would end. When I would check my phone the songs weren't there.
I ended up going back to my Summary tab, scrolling down to Options and choosing "Sync only checked songs and videos". I clicked on Sync one more time and my songs showed up. I guess that was the problem.

How to transfer songs from Itouch to Iphone?

I just bought an Iphone 4 and i'm trying to figure out how to transfer my songs from my Itouch to my Iphone. I've seen software that does it for you but none that are free. Is there a way to do this without buying software?
Any help is appreciated!

How did the music get on your touch? There are only two ways to get music on a touch or iPhone, buy directly on the device or sync it there through iTunes. Is your music not in your iTunes library? It should be. Then, all you have to do is sync it to your phone.

I am not able to transfer songs from itunes to iphone 5

Hi,
I am using iphone 5 (iOS 7.0.4), iTunes is version 11.1 and my PC is windows 8. Previously i was able to just select the songs i want to transfer, then click and drag those songs to my phone on the right of my iTunes window. It will get transferred. But for the past 1 week that is not happening. While clicking and dragging the songs i can see iphone on the right side of the iTunes window but it doesnt get transferred. This is the same issue happening with my other phone (iphone 5s). For now, i have to select iphone, then go to the tab "on this iphone", then select "autofill" option for those just added songs to get transferred.

Hello 521056,
Thank you for the question. If you are not able to manually sync music to your iPhone, I recommend checking if you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled in the Summary tab:
You can find all the steps to manually sync music in the following article:

New Mac can't transfer songs from library to iPhone or iPods

I just bought a new Mac Mini because my iBook died. My iTunes library is stored on an external hard drive. I can see the library in iTunes, but when I try to move them to my iPhone or iPods I get an error message. It states that the new computer must be authorized. I do the authorization process and it tells me that this is computer of 2 of the 5 that I can authorize to play music and it is authorized. But, I can play the songs thru iTunes, but can't transfer them to any other devices.
The majority of the music in my library wasn't purchased thru iTunes. It is music ripped from purchased CD's to the hard drive and then imported into my library. I have had no problems for the last 5 years with this library on the laptop.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong, or suggestions on how to solve the problem?
Thank you in advance for any help.

IS your ipod in Automatic mode or Manual.. Meaning if it is in manual mode you must transfer the songs manually. TO change - With ipod connected go to edit - preferences - ipod from that you ca select whether you wat automatic "yes" or manual

Any error message provided?
Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, do you have entire music library selected, or selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres?
