Putting music/photos onto iphone 5

I've just bought an iphone 5, my first ever iphone after always having other makes of smartphone. Great phone however, I can't believe how user unfriendly it is with photos and music!! I want to use a song from my pc as a ringtone, normally a straightforward process with other phones: send to phone, right click and save as ringtone - simple. Not with the iphone though. After trawling the internet and following numerous guides I have still not managed it !!
Secondly, I have spent over an hour trying to put a single photo onto my phone but only managed to put the entire folder containing the photo I want. I then spent ages working out how to remove them all so am now back to square one. Surely there must be a simple few clicks to put a single photo onto the phone!!
Any advice and help would be gratefully appreciated as I'm losing the will to live. And does everything have to go through itunes??

No such thing as a *simple few clicks with the iPhone* period! You cannot use your music as a ring tone. If you buy a ring tone from iTunes (or anywhere else) make sure it's under 30 seconds long or else it wont work. ( I just wasted .99 on a ringtone that was 1.43 long and can't use it ) Then if you do manage to finally get a tone synced to your iPhone you'll soon discover that it *REMOVES* all your music from your phone! Tried putting my music back and it removed the new ringtone! I'm personally dealing with this issue now What's worse is what you have to go through to make the new purchased ringtone useable on your iPhone. Like, renaming the music file from *m4a* to m4r* It's a total PITA and I'm ******!!!
As for adding individual pictures to your iPhone. I can't help you there because I've yet to figure it out. I've had an iPhone for 2yrs now.

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

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)

how do i put my photos onto a usb stick

If they're stored as loose files, drag them there.
If they're part of an iPhoto library, open iPhoto and export them to a location on it. If the drive's formatted as Mac OS Extended and has enough space, you can instead drag-copy the entire iPhoto library to it in the Finder.

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.

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

Why can't I put music on my iphone?

Last night I dragged an dropped and it was fine. Tonight I decided to add some more and now it isn't. I have the dreaded red circles with squares. It's greyed out when I look at my phone music on itunes. I have not time to check, uncheck, check, uncheck a thousand times.

<Edited by Host>

This was my problem:
"song" was not copied to the iphone because it cannot be played on this iphone.
I did this:
1. right click displayed song on itunes.
2. click, "create AAC version
3. I dragged song to iphone, and it finally accepted the song.
conclusion: after days trying to figure it out, it was something easy the whole time.
Hope this helps you. Have a happy holiday.

Music loaded onto iphone has completely stripped my iPhone and replaced it with my husbands setup

Music was loaded onto iPhone 4 (version 6 software upgrade) from Macbook pro to my iphone, when this happened, it copied everything from my husbands iPhone and completely wiped out all of my emails, iphotos, messages, contacts, apps.... my iphone now looks like a duplicate of my husbands. Can this corrected.

You can manage your email accounts in
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars
However, you should still get all of your emails, contacts and calendars on your @icloud.com email account just as you do on your @me.com account.
But if not, you can add and remove accounts listed above.

Getting music videos onto iPhone 4

I would like to play downloaded music videos through a home theatre product i have recently purchased and I've having a bit of trouble....
Firstly, i have never had problems playing 'normal' mp4 style videos which i have in iTunes, and have copied over to my iPhone 4- These can be found in the iPod mode under 'Videos' and play fine.
I tried to get music videos onto my phone directly from my mac- (these appear both in my music library in iTunes and in the 'Music Videos' Playlist), but when i try syncing it to my iPhone when its connected it appears to sync, but afterwards i cannot find it anywhere on the iPhone!
I though i had cracked it then, when i downloaded 3/4 music videos directly from the itunes store on my iPhone 4, as they downloaded with no problems, and suddenly appeared under a new category in the video option (in iPod mode on iPhone 4) labelled music videos. I was chuffed and this worked fine, until i synced with itunes on my mac again (for backup purposes) and it decided to get rid of them from my phone. Once more I'm back to square one, with the music videos on my Mac fine, but with no way of getting them back on my iPhone4. I'm sure I'm being an idiot and there is something simple I'm missing but i just cant work it out....
please please help!!!

I am having the same issue. I have tried reinstalling itunes, I have wiped my phone and set it up again. I don't know what else to do.
