Transferring songs from my itune on my computer to my phone

How do you transfer songs from your computer to your phone?

U can do itune sync by wifi or plug ur iPhone into the computer then open iTunes. You will find on left hand side the name of ur iPhone or iPhone if u didn't name u click the name and there are general settings like do u want to sync only checked songs. Then u can go into music in those settings to pick what playlists etc. you can also pick groups there. I feel if you want little of everything then do the setting for sync what's checked because if u choose groups or albums it will be all songs. I don't want to hear everything all the time.

How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...

Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first. Then use mine if that fails.

Transfer songs from another ITunes on new computer onto shuffle 2nd gen

my old computer broke so am using another computer now, which has ITunes already on it, however my shuffle keeps saying its already synced to another computer so i can either transfer my songs to this new computer or erase and sync with this one. i;d like to keep the songs i have on my shuffle.
i just found out i cant unsync it (shuffles apparently are only ever synced to 1 computer, unlike other IPods can)
is there any way around this? i want to add more songs to my Shuffle but its synced to my old computer which doesnt work. i need help ASAP

You can recover the songs from the shuffle and put them into your new iTunes. Once you have done that you can sync the shuffle and link it to the new library. Retrieving songs from a shuffle is a bit different from retrieving songs from a regular iPod, for a shuffle follow this process:
1). On your Windows desktop go to Edit>New folder and add a folder to receive the songs from your shuffle.
2). Download SharePod from this link: SharePod
3). Connect your shuffle to your computer. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. Your iPod will connect but iTunes won't open, the hardware icon should appear in your Windows system tray.
4). Open Sharepod, it should have picked up the presence of your iPod and show all the songs on it.
5). Highlight all your songs in the program window (click on the first song in the list and hold down the shift key, click on the last song and all the songs in between will be selected).
6). Click Copy to PC (the icon is in the top left corner) and choose the folder you created on the desktop or simply drag the songs from SharePod to the folder: SharePod - Copying tracks to your PC
7). When all the songs have transferred close SharePod
8). Disconnect your iPod by right clicking on the hardware icon in your system tray: Safely Disconnect iPod
9). Check the desktop folder and make sure all your songs are there.
10) Open iTunes and go to File>Add Folder to Library, navigate to the folder on your desktop and add the songs.
11). Connect your iPod. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. Choose "Erase and Sync", iTunes will reload your shuffle with the songs you recovered and link the iPod to this new library.

I deleted a song from my itunes on one computer. Will it still be in homeshare?, I deleted a song from my itunes on one computer. Will it still be in homeshare?

Im on homeshare with another computer and i deleted an itunes song, can i get it back from home share, or is it completely gone?

If you have the song on another computer, you can copy the song from that computer to the other computer. If you purchased the song from iTunes, you can download it again as well - for free - as long as you use the same Apple ID and you live in a country where downloading past music purchases is available.

Transferring songs from on iTunes from old computer to new.

i just got a new macbook pro. i am wondering how to transfer my itunes from my old imac onto my new macbook. i bought a firewire cable, but i cannot figure out how to transfer all my songs/playlists to my new one.

The most Straight forward way is to put your Old iTunes Folder on to an External Drive and then move it from the Ext Drive to your New Mac...

Transferring songs from one itunes account to another with song info.

I'm curious to know if this is possible. I download a lot of music at work under my boss's itunes account. I burn a cd and download it to my home computer, under my account. The songs play, but it's missing the info./grace note tag. What are my options, besides manually adding the info to each song? Is it possible to use my itunes account on my work computer? Thanks so much!!

Michaela A,
There is no direct way I know of in iTunes for coping your songs to an external device like a harddrive or memory and transfering to another PC. You have to do it in windows explorer. There is an artical on using your iPod to transfer music from a old PC to a new one. You can use these steps if you have an ipod or read them to get a general idea on what you need to do to transfer using your memory stick. If you use the stick you may not need to do some steps or alter others, but here a link to the artical
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
You may even set up a home network, like a wireless one. then you could transfer tons of things between them or use the share feature in iTUnes, so you could have all the music on one and access the music on the other laptop via the network

Transferring songs from i-pod mini to computer

I need to transfer my song list from my i-pod mini to my new IBook. The only issue is that I do not have the old computer. Is this possible without the I-Tunes library folder from the old computer?

Jeff:
Thanks for the info, but I am a computer novice. How do I get my i-pod in disk mode? My i-pod mini is called Ann's I-Pod, and my user name is Ann & Tony or the quick name is anntony. Can you help me?

I purchased a song from the iTuns on the computer but added only to my iphone and not also to my computer iTuns library

How I Can see the song on my computer too?

You will not be charged again. See the following Apple article:

What do I do if I uncheck a song from my iTunes on the computer but even though you have unchecked it, the song is still in your device?

PLEASE HELP!!! I've been trying to uncheck all my songs, I even unchecked everything but the music is still in my device even when I sync it, it won't let me even take out the songs I don't want on my device ._.

If iTunes is confused about what media should or should not be on the device, or has messed up the artwork, take these steps:
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore from the earlier backup.
In general it is better to use playlists rather than checkboxes to control what does and does not get synced to your device. Checkboxes also prevent regular tract-to-track playback. If you use checkboxes to exclude a particular album from the device you would have to check the boxes again if you wanted to listen to it, or individually start the playback of each track.

HT1349 Transferred songs from old iPod to new computer and now songs won't sync to my iPhone 5

What should I do? To get them to sync to my phone?o

What computer OS are you using? Do you have the latest version of iTunes (v11.1)? There has got to be a reason for the disconnect in the music syncing. I would recommend resetting the sync history. If you are in Windows, go to Edit, Preferences, Devices, and there is a button there. Now, with the phone connected to iTunes and the phone selected in the Device pane, you go to the Summary page and down towards the bottom of the page, there is a Reset Warnings box. After doing that, try to sync music again. If there is a problem, with the warnings reset, it should show up if there is one.

Transferring songs from itunes on 1 computer to another using iPod mini..

Hey. So I know you can use your iPod as a storage device to move your songs from one iTunes to another. But if you have say. 1500 songs.. and your iPod is at capacity. Is it possible to fill up the ipod, put it into disk mode, move the songs to the new itunes, uncheck all the songson both of the computers(and set iPod so it is set to update checked songs only) and then plug it back into the old computer, and move the rest of the songs over?? like using the ipod twice in disk mode to move a library that is bigger than the capacity of the iPod? This question has been bothering me for ages.

Used CopyPod to move songs off iPod to computer.

Transferring songs from iPod to computer (new hard drive)

My hard drive crashed and won't be able to backup all my music/songs that are not purchased from iTunes. How would I transfer all the songs from my iPod to my new hard drive (PC)? Is there any possibility?

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

I recently downloaded an album from Amazon (a gift) directly to iTunes. I also recently pruchased a song from the iTunes store. In both cases, the songs in the album appear in a lighter print on my iPod and won't play when selected. Will play on comput

I recently downloaded an album (a gift) from Amazon, one option of which is to download directly to my iTunes library (which is what I did). I also purchased a song from the iTunes store shortly after this. In both cases, the music shows up on my iPod touch in a lighter print than the other music on my iPod. When I select it nothing happens. I only plug into the computer a couple of times a month, but I perform all updates as are indicated and I synch my iPod. Note that when I have iTunes up on my computer, the music WILL play directly from the library, just not on the iPod. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello zayasva
I would delete the songs and download them again, or plug it into iTunes to resync them back on.
