Transfering songs from itunes to iphone

I had a few songs on my phone that I downloaded from another website like a year ago and just now I pressed sync my iphone and all my songs got deleted from my phone. I managed to get all my songs that I got on itunes back on my phone but the few songs I got from another website won't sync to my phone. I have those songs on my itunes library checked and they still won't transfer. Anyone know how I can get them back on my phone.
Thanks

From the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer
See if that helps.

  • Trouble transfering songs from itunes onto iphone

    Hi, I got a used iphone off my friend and can't sync my songs/apps, etc from my itune library successfully (I had an ipod touch). When I plug it into my PC I get a pop-up on itunes asking if I want to 'transfer' or 'don't transfer' purchases. I don't want any of the songs from the ipod so I clicked 'don't transfer'. Then I go to 'file' and 'sync' and it says on the top info that it's syncing for a couple of seconds and then goes back to the apple logo. Do I need to authorise the computer through my friend's username and password? As far as I know he's still using the same details for his new upgrade iphone so I don't know if that would work?
    Cheers

    Just to start with a clean slate, you can Restore the iPhone using iTunes. Since you had an iPod Touch, you'll be given the option of using the backup of that device to set up the iPhone.

  • When transferring songs from iTunes to phone it was doing it ok then all of a sudden it started to say iTunes cannot pick up information from phone restore to factory settings I am afraid if I do this I will loose all phone numbers pictures and songs anyo

    When transferring music from iTunes to iPhone after about 3 downloads a message come up saying iTunes cannot get information from phone and I should restore phone to factory settings I do not wont to do this because I am worried I will loose all phone contacts ,pictures,and songs anyone know how I can resolve this

    Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data, which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
    Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    In addition, contacts and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup.

  • 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!

  • Purchased songs from iTunes via iPhone 4 but files not found on comp after sync

    I purchased an entire album and one additional song from iTunes on my phone while at work on a wireless network.  When I got home it started the transfer/purchase updates or whatever.  I don't know what happened I don't think there was an interruption at any point but now I find that most of the songs from that particular album plus the additional song are seen in my library with the "!" next to them.  For the life of me I cannot find the files, they just don't exist on my computer or the external drive on which I keep my iTunes.
    With all this being said I can listen to all of the songs on my iPhone without issue... ***?
    How can I get the proper files back on my computer without having to repurchase the songs?
    I'm on Mac 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5 on iPhone 4

  • HT204406 Can't drag songs from iTunes to iPhone

    Can't drag music from iTunes to iPhone. I get the circle with the slash through it.

    As far as I know you cannot drag & play from computer to iPods.  Read the instructions in - Adding and Deleting Songs and playlists from your iPod and iPod Manuals

  • Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs.  What am I doing wrong?

    I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
    Where are the extra songs coming from?
    The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
    Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
    Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
    I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
    When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
    Uncheck the "Sync Music" box.  Accept the "Are You Sure ...".  That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right.  (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
    Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs.  Do what you like with them.
    Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply.  That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

  • Moving songs from itunes to iphone

    Before the last two updates I was able to move songs from itunes to my iphone 4s.  Now for the last two days when I attempt to move the songs not all of them are available once they are moved.  I will get some of the album but not all and in some cases they don't show up at all.   What is strange is that they show up on my iphone when it is connected to itunes under music.  They are not songs that show the cloud symbol they are songs that I have uploaded to itunes with cd's.
    thanks-Stuart 

    The iPhone will only sync music from one computer. Syncing to another will replace your playlists.

    Hey there!
    I probably sound like a complete idiot but I just bought a Mac and I've recently purchased some songs from itunes using a gift card and want to transfer them on to my iphone 4GS for some music on the go. The music is uploaded on to my itunes account, however, when I sync the acount with my phone it doesn't transfer over to the device. Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

  • Problem downloading songs from iTunes to iPhone

    I cannot download songs from iTunes into my iPhone. I was able to move about 10 songs but when I view them they are greyed out. I cannot manually move any songs. And if I attempt to drag and drop the iPhone will not accept them as the iPod will. Any suggestions? BTW I can move songs freely from iTunes to my iPod.

    hi jason,
    imho, the lack of manual music and video management
    is a mistake. i've had 4 ipods over the years and have always used
    manual mode. the playlist hack works okay
    and is only mildly cumbersome.
    however i tend to buy music from itunes both on my
    imac at home and my pc at work. i've always simply
    been to plug in my ipod to either computer and grab my
    purchases, in either location. now, my iphone is "locked"
    to my imac. i'm sure apple had a good reason to leave out
    manual management, but i would suggest revisiting this
    asap.

  • Transfering songs from itunes

    Is it possible to transfer songs from itunes(library) to ipod 30GB without the gap between them? I want the next song to start right after the previous one??? What can I do??

  • Transferring songs from ITunes to IPod Nano

    I have IPod Nano 5th Generation, and the latest IMac operating system.
    Had no problems until today, because yesterday I downloaded the brand new ITunes 11.0 (163). Trying to transfer songs from ITunes to my IPod Nano. Not sure if I should submit this question in the ITunes section or the IPod Nano section, so did both.
    ITunes used to - until today - show my device (IPod Nano and its playlists) on the left side column of ITunes, above the ITunes playlists. So I could just click on a ITunes song on one of the ITunes playlists and drag that song into one of the IPod Nano playlists above it. Now with this new version of ITunes nothing shows up on the left side, so I have no way of dragging songs from ITunes to IPod Nano. An IPod Nano icon does appear on my desktop, but clicking on it or its contents does not show any IPod Nano playlists. I could click on the IPod Nano icon on my desktop and then click on "all files" on top. There is an area that shows all the IPod Nano songs (I think),  but it does not show the IPod Nano playlists.
    1) How do I get the IPod Nano playlists to show?
    2) Please advise how to transfer songs from ITunes to IPod Nano playlists when using this new ITunes 11.0.
    3) If this cannot be done, is there a way for me  to go back and reinstall the previous version of ITunes?

    I don't think the late/great Steve Jobs had this "new and improved" version of ITunes to be so darn frustrating.  It used to be relatively simple to put songs into a playlist or to import purchased songs from ITunes into an Apple device such as the IPOD Nano.  "Simple" used to be the selling point of Apple products.  What happened?  With this new version, I feel like I've got to contact Apple Support to do simple tasks.  It seems like I'm not the only person having this problem.
