Transfering music from iTunes to iPhone

I'm having trouble moving music from iTunes to my iPhone. I have looked for answers everywhere, and it all says to create a playlist and select the playlist to transfer. However, my iTunes won't let me do that. It will only let me sync everything, replacing all my music on my iPhone. Help!

However, my iTunes won't let me do that.
It won't let or you don't know how to do it?
Create a playlist and add the songs you want on your iPhone.
Plug in the iPhone and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music.
Select *Selected playlists* in the drop down box and tick the playlists you want to sync to the iPhone.

    Have you ticked the 'Sync Music' box on the Music tab in iTunes ?

  • Problem transfering music from itunes to iphone

    Hi! Wondering if you could help: I can play in Itunes the music I download. But when i decide to transfer these songs from Itunes to my Iphone 4 by draging it, like I always did before, it doesn't work. By the way I just bought a new laptop and downloaded Itunes on it. Can someone tell me what could be the problem?

    hi, your message is kind of old and you've probably already figured out how to transfer the music. i just read some of the replies to you and see that no one mentions the "Autofill" option so i wanted to let you know--just in case it might help you to do things a bit less complicated. i had the same problem with the new version of iTunes (11.0) and discovered the best way to transfer your music is to add it to your iTunes library like you usually do and click on the "Autofill" button at the bottom so the music is transferred without problems. You still won't get to keep your playlists (I know right? ******* genius whoever came up with this brilliant idea...) and you must make sure you're "auto-filling" the music from the recently added list, otherwise it will just transfer music from a different location.
    i hope this helps! you can email me or PM me if you've got any other questions!

  • HT1386 Help transferring music from itunes to iphone 5

    On my new lap top I can't transfer music from my itunes library to my iphone 5 by dragging it to the right onto the the iphone icon. When I try to do so, it doesn't do the blinking thing and sync for some reason. I also don't want to press the "manually manage" box because then I would lose all the music on my iphone (including music I previously got from CDs and such) that isnt on this new laptop's itunes (because when I got this new itunes the only music that synced was the music on my phone that I purchased from itunes). If there's a way to transfer ALL the music from my iphone to this new laptop's itunes then I would just press manually manage, have it erase all my songs, and then just sync them again, but I don't know if that's possible. Any tips/advice?

    Chances are you need to stop the Apple Mobile Device service, then restart iTunes.  Syncing should work at this time.  Follow these steps to stop the Apple Mobile Device Service.

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.

  • Moving music from iTunes to iPhone 4 wirelessly

    I am wondering if it is possible to move music from itunes to iphone 4 wirelessly. I know that it is possible to move music purchased FROM ITUNES to different devices wirelessly. But what if I import a cd from my collection?
    So I guess my real question is: Is it possible to move music NOT PURCHASED FROM ITUNES and already in my library, to my iPhone 4 wirelessly? If so, how?
    Thank you.

    My bad. i meant itunes from my computer, to my iphone 4! i cant get that to sync over. IM losin my mind here people!

  • Transferring music from itunes to ipod

    Trouble transfering music from itunes to my iopd. have updated ipod but still having trouble.

    OK so first thing is, is the iPod set for manual or auto updating? If you are using iTunes 7, click on the iPod icon in iTunes and check the settings. For earlier versions go to iTunes preferences and pick the iPod. Typically you have three choices, Auto Updating, Auto Updating of selected playlists only, and finally Manual updating.
    And to clear up your confusion, yes, you can always import your own CDs and put that music on your iPod without restriction.
