Putting Music On Your iPhone

I just purchased my iPhone today and down loaded some CD's into iTunes. I can not get those songs on my iPhone? With an iPod you just select and drag, but this iPhone won't let me do that?

If your iPhone has the current version installed which is 1.1.3, under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select Manually manage music and video.
To create an iTunes Playlist, select Music under Library and at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select New Playlist. Enter a name for the Playlist. I named mine iPhone.
A song cannot be available in a Playlist unless it is available in your iTunes library which is represented by Music in the iTunes source list. Select the songs you want in the Playlist by clicking and dragging the songs to your Playlist and then release. This does not duplicate the songs.
Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select "Selected Playlists" instead of "All Songs and Playlist" and then select the Playlist that you created and then sync.

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.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

When your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer

when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

My mac failed a month ago and apple needed to put in a new hard drive, which deleted everything. so, i need to put music from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my mac, please help?

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

You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer. We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box. The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

TS1363 is there a way to download music to your iphone as a RINGTONE

Is there a way to dowload music to your IPHONE from a computer as a ringtone

You have to convert it to m4r format and duration must be 40secs or less. Here is how to convert music into ringtones on iTunes.
Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version”
You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
*Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device. Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.

Has anybody used Audiko to put music on there iPhone?

Hello everyone!
I was on cnets website and just found this website audiko.net and it lets you put your music on your iphone or you can choose from the available music they have. Has anybody used it or know anything about it?

I just added a few song to my iPhone and it worked great. I also added some songs to the site, then into my iPhone and it also worked. I guess the site is ok. If anybody else tries it let me know if they run into problems.

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.

Cant put music in my iphone

Hi,
I've been trying to upload music from my PC to my Iphone for a few days now and I always get the same message. It says I need to synch my phone with my PC for the first time and by doing that, It will erase everything from my phone. It's the first time I synch my phone with a PC and it says I have to synch with a NEW PC. I don't want to lose everything in my phone because I have my phone for over a year now and it's full of important things in it. Is there a way I can put music in my Iphone without having to synch ?? Like the older phone that you could just open the phone and drag music in it, and it was done. Why make this so complicated when it could be soooo easy ????
Thanks for the help

Do you have Sidebar ON?
iTunes > View > Show Sidebar.
Connect and select iPhone in iTunes Sidebar under DEVICES, choose the Music tab on the right, select Sync Music and whatever music you the on iPhone. Click Apply (bottom right)
