Putting Music on iPhone 6

Just got iPhone 6, upgrade from 4s. Setup and restore OK except for music. I want to put ALL of my music on iPhone. In iTunes, settings are to sync entire library. However, it does not. On the phone it shows all songs as on iCloud for downloading. I don't want to use up my data downloading music, and have space on phone. How can I force iTunes to put tunes on the phone?
Bill

ok so I wiped my iTunes music and folders completely from my phone via iExplorer, then I unchecked sync by wifi - so far seems to be working.
SHEESH what a pain that was!

How to put music on iphone 4s

For some reason I can't put music on my phone through itunes unless I pay for the songs. Do I need a certain wire or something? Because my charger one doesn't work and my laptop doesn't see my phone as a "device" on it. Help me out, please and thank you!

How to put music into iphone 5 with another Itunes 11??

I have a computer back at home which i originally used with my Iphone 5. Im at college right now and i just bought a laptop, downloaded Itunes 11, and have some music i want to put on to my Iphone but i cant. I just realized that you cannot put music into your Iphone without the original computer you synced it with. Even though i have authorized this laptop; this laptop being the second authorized, cant seem to put music into my Iphone. I then tried to check off the Manually manage music and videos box and it prompted me by saying i have to delete everything in my Iphone and get it synced with the itunes on my laptop in order to put in music and videos. I dont want to do this. Does anyone know another way around this???? I know with an Ipod you dont go through this kind of crap. Any kind of help would be appreciated! My IOS for my iphone5 is 6.1.4. I dont know if this effects anything.

There's the easy way and the hard way. The easy way is to copy the backup that you should have kept of your old computer to the new computer's iTunes (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527). Then just sync the iPhone. The hard way is to extract the data from your phone. The phone was never intended as a backup device, so you will not get everything back perfectly, but it's as close as you can get. See: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

I am stupid and may not see how to put music on iphone

To make my question bit mor clear, I have two accounts on my Mac and each has its own iTunes library with bought content from iTunes store. Each bought content was bought with different iTunes store accounts. And here comes the trouble in my case:
I like to copy a bought album from my iTunes library to the iPhone of my wife. My own iPhone is synced with my library, her iPhone is synced with her library in her Mac account.
As I connected her iPhone to the Mac as I am in my Mac account and tried to put some music to her iPhone, iTunes asked me, if I like to do that, but if I continue, her iPhone will lost all the content from her account and will be synced after then with my iTunes library. Thats was not what I wanted. I liked to add only a album to her iPhone.
Moving over to her Mac account and using in this case the library sharing feature, the content of my library is not selectable in the iPhone sync window.
What wrong with my wish? Did Apple give me the right to use my bought songs on different Macs and unlimited iPods/iPhones?

As I tried some weeks before to convert such a song from the store to another format from m4p, iTunes told me, thats not possible because of digital rights.
If those tracks were not iTunes Plus, they would have the copy protection that would prevent them from being converted. But you may be able to upgrade them to iTunes Plus for a small charge per track (it's 30 cents per track in the US; I don't know what the charge is in Germany). Make sure you're signed into your iTunes Store account and look at the upper-right of the iTunes Store main page under the Quick Links - Alles Auf Einen Klick in the German Store - for an Upgrade to iTunes Plus link (sorry, I'm not sure how it will be phrased in German). If that link appears, click on it and see if the tracks you want to use are listed there; not all tracks were licensed to Apple as iTunes Plus. If they are, then you can buy the Plus versions, which not only have no copy protection but are also of higher quality.
Regards.

Putting music onto iphone

Since i did not buy all my music from Itunes i can not put it onto my iphone. Is there a way to access my music from my iphone in a folder on the computer and drag my music there that way? If not, how am i supposed to put my music onto my iphone?

The only way to transfer music to an iPhone is via iTunes.
It isn't required to purchase music from the iTunes Store to transfer music from iTunes to an iPhone. I have quite a bit of music available on my iPhone which was imported into iTunes on my Mac from music CDs.
Where did this music originate that will not transfer, and is any error message provided?

How to put music on iPhone 4?

I have the song download on itunes but I can't seem to put them on my iPhone 4. I went to File and I synced my iPhone the purchases transferred but not the music.

Simple..
Drag and drop the folder into iTunes playlist (left side down), then your music folder will appear on the iTunes playlist, again drag from the iTunes playlist and drop inside your phone music (top of the iTunes playlist),
This will appear if you connect your phone by cable only

How to put music from iphone to laptop

Hello.
I have unfortunately been the victim of a burglary where they stole over £2000 worth of equipment, including my beloved Macbook. I backed up on an external harddrive but at present we can't find it and think this may well have been stolen too. The only place that I have my music is on my iphone 4. Does anyone know how I can get music off of this onto a) an HP laptop (it's my work one) and b) a new macbook - we have insurance but it will take a while for them to replace the item.
I would really appreciate this as my music is trapped on my little iphone and much as I have it I can't update it or do anything to it.
I am not the best with technology so I need a simple step by step guide.
Thanks

You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the laptop.
Launch iTunes on the HP. From the menu bar top of the screen click Store > Authorize This Computer
Connect the iPhone.
From the menu bar again, click File > Transfer Purchases From ...
You can do the same procedure on the new Mac and you will have to "authorize" that computer also.
If you can't locate the external drive, when it's convenient, backup your iTunes purchases > How to back up your media in iTunes
I'm sorry you got ripped off... that's awful.

Is there a way to put music (mp3) from my PC onto my iPhone (5c) without having to duplicate that music by adding it to the iTunes Library?

Greetings all, I am a brand new iPhone owner (my first smartphone in fact) and am very sad that I don't love my new device as much as I was beginning to. I've come into the Apple family with open eyes and heart, but I am heartbroken and mortified and what I've been learning this morning. I just spent five hours (no exaggeration) reading forums, downloading iTunes (which I don't really think I want, I am used to WMP and much more accustomed to it), downloading and installing an update, learning that certain options which were recommended are now gone unless you use secret commands (want to Add Folder to Library? Well, too bad! Unless you know the secret Ctrl-B handshake. Hope you didn't just spend tons of time adding items file by file before you learned that (by scouring the obscure forums for that information, since it's not common knowledge or readily accessible in iTunes now)!). Apologies for the sarcastic tone, still very frustrated with the whole process. I've seen support messages directing people to support pages with QuickTime videos; QuickTime doesn't install easily or quickly or work properly on my PC (perhaps I need to work with it more, buuuut...), it's all just seeming so....proprietary.
Is it really the way this works that I have to duplicate all of the music that is currently on my hard drive not just once but twice, such that I need to have it 1) on my hard drive in my music folder where it has always been (so that I can play it how I am used to, using WMP), 2) copied to my iTunes Library and then 3) "Synced" (whatever this really means...still learning obviously) / copied onto my iPhone? Thus taking up twice the space on my hard drive that it needs to?
There's really no way to simply have the phone take it from my hard drive? Apple seriously needs it to not only be existent on my pc, but duplicated into the iTunes Library (which is really just another folder, right?) in order to allow it to be put onto my iPhone?
Please please please tell me I am misunderstanding how this works. I really genuinely do want to love my iPhone and get accustomed to how it and the software it needs works, but this has been frankly a nightmare and has had me wishing for brief moments that I had gone with something more PC friendly. Please just tell me that it gets better, that you can have a PC that you use, and have an iPhone that you use and marry the two happily once you get used to the way to do that.

Okay.
You are misunderstanding how this works.
When you add songs to your iTunes Library, all you are in fact doing is telling iTunes where (on your computer) to find the music. iTunes does not create additional versions of your music (see * below). iTunes is a database (or catalogue) - it simply lists your music and knows where it is so that it can copy it to your iPod.
Synced - synchronise... to make as one, to make the same as each other. Well, that's what my dictionary tells me anyway. To make iTunes and the iPhone the same, to have the same music etc. on or in each. (Subject to your preferences.)

Okay, I'l tell you that too.
It gets better. You can have a PC that you use, and have an iPhone that you use - and marry the two together blah blah blah.
Now that you have iTunes installed, at least you've got that far, although I can't quite imagine how it managed to take five hours. (You would have all these same issues if you were moving from iPhone to any non-Apple product.)
Secret menus, (CTRL+B etc.) - yes, there have been some very odd moves with all this "hiding menus" nonsense. But with the help of useful contibutors to these discussions, you will find iTunes easy. There are however, so many ways to configure iTunes, that everyone will tell you that everyone else's method is wrong.
So let's start with basics:
Once iTunes is set the way you want to view it, all you will need to do is add music to your iTunes Library, either by;
putting a CD into your computer's CD drive, and telling iTunes to import the CD. iTunes will make a digital copy, put it in a folder (in the iTunes Media folder) and list the album in your iTunes
buying music from the iTunes Store. The store will download the music to your Library.
Buying music from other sources. For example Amazon. Here in the UK, Amazon have a downloader which will download any purchases, place them in an Amazon folder and add them to your iTunes Library
Add other digital files by using the Add Folder to Library. (I can make sure you can easily find that, if you wish.)
Then - you can add songs to Playlists - if you wish. You do not have to add music to Playlists. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Then - connect your iPhone to the computer, and let iTunes perform a Sync.
Your first ever Sync will need a little bit of configuration. A Sync will copy the new songs to your iPhone. It will also transfer back to your iTunes Library:
any songs purchased, on the iPhone, directly from the iTunes Store.
any apps purchased, on the iPhone, from the iTunes Store.
Play Counts. The number of times a song has been played, on the iPhone, since the last Sync.
Last Played date and time. You won't believe how useful this feature can be.
HydroThunder wrote:

That is precisely what iTunes is for - it's exactly what it does and how is does it. By the way, also don't let anyone tell you that you should use Manual Management to anage your iPhone. No one with any sense would use Manual Management. Why do housework, when iTunes can do it for you?
* There is one tiny issue in all this. If you leave your music where it is now, it may make it slightly harder for you to transfer all your music to another computer anytime in the future because it will be in various different palces on your current computer. There is a setting in iTunes to "copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library", which will duplicate songs, but that's so that you can store all your music in one parent folder for easy transfer to another computer. Your choice. If you take it, once it's done, you could then delete the older copies in the other storage locations.
Of course, if you transfer all your media, files, documents to the new compurer, it shouldn't be any hassle really.
As for WMP. While you are used to it, now that you have an iPhone, why not try playing music in iTunes? It's really not that bad.
So - you tell me what point you have reached and what other information you need to help you with iTunes, what views you want in your iTunes Library. There are lots of ways to vieww your Library! You only need to tell us how you like to look at things, by albums with artwork, by a sonsg list but with the option of looking at albums, or Last played. On and On it goes!
I may be a bit biased in my choice of views, but I can still help you get the best out of iTunes. It really is a fantastic piece of software, despite the little annoying things Apple put into it.

I want to put music onto my partners phone from my Mac computer. The message comes up that her phone is synced with another iTunes library (not in use anymore) and do I want to erase this iPhone and sync with this itunes library.

There is currently no music on her iPhone and all the apps are already in the iTunes library on the mac that I want to sync it to so its not a problem, the apps won't be lost.
My question is are photos and messages and contacts classified as iPhone contents? Because I don't want those to be wiped. So can I sync her phone to this iTunes library? I have not been able to find online whether or not photos and contacts will be lost.
Also her phone is already backed up on this computer because it gets plugged into it all the time we have just not tried to put music onto it yet until now.
Thanks for any help clarifying this

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.

My iPhone 4 is not allowing me to put music on it. It connects to iTunes, but does not sync nor does it allow me to upload music to it. This has been a problem since the iOS 6.1.3. Update. What can I do?

I really need help with this. It's been going on for a while now, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait until the next update. All I know is that my iPhone 4S, isn't allowing me to put music on it.

The next iOS update won't change this.
Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?
What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.
