Syncing MP3 from PC to iphone

Hi,
Am I missing something quite obvious? I want to sync an MP3 podcast of a university lecture onto my iphone. Any ideas?
Cheers!

As an MP3, it should sync to your phone like any other music file. Just put it in a playlist(create one & call it podcasts, if you like) & sync it to your phone.

  • HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    Hi,
    I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

  • HT201272 Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.

    Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

  • How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?

    Hi.
    First up .. is Notes supported in Mavericks as I see no specific forum here?
    My question is How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?
    I have lots of Notes written in the Notes application on my iMac.
    All these Notes also appear in my iCloud Notes page via Safari. So far, so good.
    BUT if I want to sync Notes to my iPhone (iOS 7) my iPhone settings tells me iPhone Notes is default and that if I turn on Notes on iPhone all my iCloud Notes will be deleted.
    HOWEVER, I cannot see a way on my iPhone to set the default Notes to iCloud.
    I am unsure if this is a OSX question or an iOS question .. but it is a NOTES question.
    If you can help, it would be appreciated. Else I will ignore Notes on iPhone (as it seems from other Forums I cannot delete it).
    C'mon Apple .. you are losing the ease-of-use mojo.
    Michael

    These are fun, call apple care and ask for a senior advisor, Both Mac and ios can help. But I can't help you on here it's just too detailed. Expect to spend about 30 minutes with a senior advisor.

  • Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s -got all my girlfriends contacts

    Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s
    I upgraded my iPhone 4s to the latest os yesterday. My girlfriend and I use the same installation of iTunes, and for some reason I got all of her contacts copied to my phone. During the installation of the new os, I was told there was a conflict with the contacts and I was prompted to choose between to different sets of contacts both bearing my name but my girlfriends picture (!). I tried to skip this stage and moved on with the installation, and when I was done our contacts were all mixed up. When I later installed the new os on her iPhone (3), she got all of my contacts!
    Is there a way to show iTunes what to put in which phone?

    Hello Hylan,
    There are a few possibilities.
    First, make sure both iTunes and the iPhone are up-to-date.
    Make sure the "Sync Address Book Contacts" box is actually checked in the Info tab for the iPhone.
    You can try resetting the Sync history on the Mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    It could be an issue with the Contact database on the iPhone.
    If your contacts data on the Mac is current (no contacts on the iPhone that are not in Address Book). you can replace the Contact data on the iPhone with a fresh copy from the Mac.
    At the bottom of the Info tab for your iPhone, you'll find a checkbox for Contacts under Advanced -- this will replace the contact data on the iPhone when you sync. It is a one time checkbox and will be unchecked automatically after the sync.

    No, this is not necessary or correct. It's not necessary to transfer to and from the iTunes library. When you sign into your iBooks account on each device you have iBooks installed in:
    iBooks > Store > Purchased > shows everything you bought > download from there wirelessly.

  • Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

    I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB.  I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB.  Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone.  Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
    Here's what I've always done:  I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable.  Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window.  Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer.  Finally I hit "Apply."  The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
    When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced.  They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them.  This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone.  I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info."  I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    UPDATE:  I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes.  For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem.  Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
    That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

  • Problem syncing app from computer to iphone & ipad

    I downloaded an app (Red Laser- barcode scanner) on my windows computer. I want to use it on my iphone and ipad but can not sync it. 

    This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
    As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
    There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
    I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …

  • Syncing photos from pc to iphone - end up in wrong folders

    Every single time i try syncing photos from my computer to my iphone 4s they either end up being multiple and/or theyre in the wrong folders.
    And yes, Ive tried deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" thing and re-sync, but it doesnt help at all. They remain in the wrong folders. I seriously dont know what to do, Ive had this problem for too long, and its starting to bother me even more when I get more and more photos.

    nowhere do you mention what operating system you are using

  • Syncing Photos from Vista to iPhone - a proven method

    I, along with many, have had many problems syncing my pictures from my Vista PC to my iPhone. I found a solution. Many said to use a seperate memory device such as a USB flash storage device. i tried this and it didn't work for me. So I used a Memory Stick PRO duo. Some of you might not have a Memory Stick slot in your computers but I do think you can get one at Best Buy or any other retailer with an electronics section. Anyway, once you insert the Memory Stick into your computer you should be prompted to "Open to view files." Do so and make a new folder and label it "pictures" or however you want it to show up on your iPhone. Start clicking and dragging all of the pics you want into this new folder. Now in iTunes, dock your iPhone. Once you see the syncing tabs, click on Photos and change the folder you sync your pics from. Scroll down click on the Computer directory, Memory Stick PRO, and finally the folder you stored the pictures you want on your iPhone. Back in iTunes, leave it "all photos" unless you decided to make subdirectories and whatnot. You should probably make sure all of your photos are in .JPG format. From my little experience, that's the only photo format Apple products recognize. Now this isn't the end-all solution for this problem but it did work for me and i'm not very computer-literate. This did get rid of the distortion problems as well such as the slashes of odd color and so forth.
    Enjoy

    Glad you found a solution that works for you, but I wouldn't necessarily assume it's a Vista problem, nor one that is affecting "many" Vista users. I have never had a problem syncing photos from my Vista machine to my iPhone, nor renaming file extensions to make ringtones. I know of at least a half-dozen other Vista/iPhone users in my circle of friends, also with no problems. Maybe it has to do with User Access Control -- that annoying pop-up that wants your permission to make even the smallest changes to your system. I disabled UAC within minutes of using Vista the first time, and haven't looked back. Not saying your issues don't exist -- just that they may be related more to your particular settings & configuration than to Vista itself.

  • How do I upload / sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone in Photos folder

    I shot a short clip from my digital camera and want to share it with family through Whatsapp on my iPhone 3GS.
    I downloaded the movie (.AVI extension) to iPhoto on my Macbook Pro, saved a copy on the Desktop; and using Quicktime's export feature, was able to transfer a .m4v version of the video on the 'Videos' folder of iOS. However, since Whatsapp picks up content only from the 'Photos' app, I was looking for a mechanism through which the video (preferably .AVI format) can be transfered to the 'Photos' app.
    Additionally, I created a separate album on iPhoto containing just this clip. Next I tried to sync this album to my iPhone with the 'include videos' checkbox ticked, but it does not copy the video to Photos on iPhone (tried doing the same with some photos and it is working just fine).
    Request if someone can provide an easy solution for this.
    Regards,
    Prashrash.
    P.S.: Since I am a newbie, apologize in advance for any forum rules that I might have broken. Happy to be corrected / informed on the same.
    BTW, have done a basic search on the articles existing in the forums to try and find an answer before posting my question. Mostly have seen many nays on older / archived posts, and hence am posting afresh once again in the hope that with the newer versions of iPhoto / iTunes, something has hopefully changed that will make my task easy! <fingers crossed>

    Hello prashrash
    Because when you sync a video that you have converted, it will want to go in the Videos app. A way to get around that is to email the video to yourself if the video size is small enough to send through email. Once you have received it you should be able to save it to your Camera Roll and then be able to access like you normally would.
    Save a photo or video you received in Mail.
