Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone?

Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone? I don't want to sync everything as I have over 2000 songs on my macbook. Please help!

Hi ckuan,
Thanks for the tip. I have tried this however, when I select the Sync music box, it wants to remove all of the music that is currently on my iphone. I do not want to do this. What happened to the old "select and drag" option? That was so much easier! I would like to add new music without removing the music that is currently on the iphone.

  • I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iphone without losing what is already on my phone. Help!

    I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iPhone without losing what is already on the phone. On the old iTunes I could drag and drop only the items I wanted on the phone.  On this new version, all I can figure out to do is sync, which is going to remove the songs that are already on the phone. There has to be another way.

    The film would have to be in itunes on your computer.
    You would sync it like you do everything else.

  • Very slow transfer of songs from itunes

    Hi
    Don't know if this is an itunes problem, a problem with my phone or what but I noticed in the last few days that when I go to transfer a ripped CD of say 10 songs from itunes to my iphone 4S it does two things:
    1. It says there are about 21 or more songs in a cd of 10 songs
    2. It transfers the songs really slowly. Before it was over and done with in less than a minute.
    anyone have any ideas? I tried changing USB port, I'm still set for manual sync on itunes

    Did you find a solution?

  • HT1848 How do I transfer individual songs from my PC to my iPhone?  It used to be so easy!

    How do i transfer from PC to iPhone?  It used to be so easy with the older iTunes, i just highlighted the songs i wanted and drug them to and area that said "iPhone" and then the went onto the phone.  That doesn't seem to work anymore!!!  ***?!?  I've been sitting here for 1 hour trying to figure this out but noting seems to work.  I even tried to drop and drag right from the native folder location on to the iphone; that didn't work either.  I am currnetly running Windows 8 on a brand new HP Envy, so computing power isnt the issue.  My old computer was a pc clone pentium 2 with Windows XP, and it worked like a charm.  The issue is this new (NOT user friendly) version of iTunes.  Also, don't tell me that "syncing" is the answer, because i have thousands of songs on my PC, and can only fit a few hundred songs on my iphone without filling it up.  Also, i am buying MP3s from Amazon (because they're cheaper there than iTunes).  Maybe i've answered my own question... has Apple purposly disabled the use of iTunes on PCs with generic MP3 files?  Let's hope not.  I'd have the same problem if i were importing directly from a CD.  Any insight would be great... this is irritating as ****.   

    Thanks for trying to help me. 
    First, in you reply (and i've read this elsewhere), you imply that i need to check a box that says "manually manage music."  OK, great, but where do i find such box?  Is that on the iphone or in itunes?  Also, i am afraid of losing what i already do have on my phone.  I have about 150 songs, some of which were purchesed thru itunes, but most of which i "dropped and dragged" from my older computer with the older version of itunes.  When i go to itunes with my iphone plugged in, all of the boxes are grayed out, except one at the top that says "Sync Music".  When i check this box, i get an error warning that says "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to [name of my iPhone] from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library." 
    So, i have over 3000+ songs in my itunes library on my computer... obviously that isn't going to fit on my phone. So then, what is going to happen?  I'll lose everything that is already on my phone PLUS it will NOT be able to sync? 
    Is now the time to buy a Zune?!?  For the company that is supposedly "user friendly", Apple has really managed to screw this one up. 
    Thanks, John

  • Has anyone any idea of how to transfer my songs from iTunes to a Kindle?

    I have iTunes on my home computer, not a lap top, which runs Windows 7 and I would like to be able to transfer my iTunes library of songs to my Kindle.  I would be pleased to hear from anyone who knows how to do it as it doesn't automatically come up.
    Many thanks,

  • Can I transfer/copy songs from itunes to Windows Movie Maker?

    I am designing a slide show for my daughter's wedding.  If I buy songs through itunes, can I copy/move them to Windows Movie Maker for the slide show.
    I appreciate your input/guidance.

    With the iPod connected to your PC and selected on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your PC then you can enable the sidbar via control-S), you should be able to use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it e.g. which albums, artists, playlists etc : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

  • Transfer shared songs from itunes to iphone

    my brother sent me some shared music from his itunes library to my computer and I now have the songs on my itunes library. How do I transfer those songs onto my iphone?

    If this "shared" music is music bought from iTunes, presumably it is associated with a apple ID and would probably refuse to load for another apple ID? I think Apple changed it's DRM too, so maybe modern downloads might work while older ones might not. Hard to say without knowing more.
