Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?

Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?
The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
have tried many times, what am I wrong?
Thank you in advance!

Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice?  And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air.  Not sure if this will help you but...
In your itunes client music library:
Right click on one music file
Hover over the Add to Playlist option
Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
See if that helps move the music file over.  If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file.  The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

    syncing itunes windows
    first open itunes on windows computer
    there's a small shaded box in upper left corner click it and show menu bar
    now go under view and show side bar
    go under help and check for updates (11.1.3 current) - update if needed
    plug in iphone (or ipad, ipod ect..)
    when the device shows up in sidebar click on the name of device not the arrow
    this opens up a summary page
    across top says info, apps, music, photos, ect...
    click on what you want to sync ie music
    check the top box that says sync music select -entire library or selected songs and pick what you want by checking
    now apply or sync at bottom

  • HT1848 why can't I transfer songs from my itunes account to my ipod?

    On my computer I have tons of songs on Itunes, how can I transfer those songs to my Ipod? I have already sync my Ipod. I also owe money to itunes, could that be the reason why I can't transfer purchased songs and burned songs from cds to my ipod?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Why not copy them from your old computer, ro your backup copy of your old computer?
    No need for such a gross over reaction.

  • Why can't i transfer videos from my computer to my itunes?

    I have videos on my computer and i want to put them on my itunes so i can upload them on to my ipod but it doesn't seem to work

    iTunes and the video-capable iPods support only a limited set of video formats. Your videos need to be in these supported formats. Check this Apple document for details...

    Which includes this little tidbit of info:
    What video content works with iTunes and iPod?
    iTunes:
    Video content purchased from the iTunes Store.
    QuickTime and MPEG-4 movie files that end in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" and are playable in QuickTime Player.
    Video podcasts.

  • I can not upload selected music from my computer to my iPhone.

    I have already tried checking the song and clicking the sync button, that did not work, nor did it work when I checked the box to only sync checked music. Ever since itunes changed everything has been so much more complicated and confusing! I wish they would make simple tasks simple to do.

    I tried that and I dont see the apple ID in the lower right. Its just a box with a bunch of tabs info, sorting, options, etc. Nothing else. I know the apple ID in the itunes is the same as the iphone because when it asks me for my password I enter in my password for my apple ID. This is a song that was emailed to me, it's music that has been cut with different songs on it. I tried adding a different song (one that I purchased) and I am still having the same problem. It used to be so easy, just drag and drop. Not sure why they have made so many changes making things so complicated. =(

  • Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

    Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

    It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.

  • Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?

    Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?
    Stupidly I deleted all my music from my laptops music folder: I was doing a spring clean and wrongly thought that all the music was duplicated stored in itunes itself.
    Anyway I have all my music on my ipod touch I need now to reverse sync this music back to my itunes.
    I know that the solution is to transfer from my itouch>my laptop>my itunes library.
    The problem I have is that my computer is not recognising my itouch; it is however showing up in the itunes programme, but not under my computer.
    Does anyone know how I should proceed.

    Try uninstalling iTunes from your computer, then re-installing it. Then once loaded back on (it still won't have your songs), click on  the iTunes Store and log in. Then plug in your iPod, then right-click it on the bar on the left side of the screen, then click "Transfer Purchases". It then should sync all of your songs, movies, TV shows, and Apps to your computer.
    Hope this helps.

    how can i transfer songs from my computer to iphone?

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can enable the sidebar via control-S, on a Mac via option-command-S) and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen select the Music tab and use that to select which of your computer's iTunes music to sync to your phone's Music app.
