Why can't I put music on my iphone?

Last night I dragged an dropped and it was fine. Tonight I decided to add some more and now it isn't.  I have the dreaded red circles with squares.  It's greyed out when I look at my phone music on itunes.  I have not time to check, uncheck, check, uncheck a thousand times.
How do I put music onto my iphone?
<Edited by Host>

This was my problem:
"song" was not copied to the iphone because it cannot be played on this iphone.
I did this:
1. right click displayed song on itunes.
2. click, "create AAC version
3.  I dragged song to iphone, and it finally accepted the song. 
conclusion:  after days trying to figure it out, it was something easy the whole time. 
Hope this helps you.  Have a happy holiday.

    You can, but it may require third party software. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

    I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
    Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

    Awful, awful awful.
    Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
    Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
    Really.  Could this be more frustrating:
    You download a great new album!
    You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
    Oh wait, your iPhone is full.  Over capacity.  AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should.  Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
    But it still doesn't.
    ... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library.  Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
    And re-download.
    But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
    And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
    Great.  Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
    At this point, the old USB seems like a better option.  Or even the firewire 400.  Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
    Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
    Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device.  But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!

  • Why can I not drag music to my iPhone anymore - iTunes Match

    This is beyond a joke now. I cannot drag music onto my iPhone now.  Apparently I have to download the music from iCloud first.  It comes up with the message, "You must download items from iCloud beforeyou can copy them to your phone."
    The music is on my bloody hard drive, why do I need to download it? Just a joke.
    This is a frigging joke.  How can I turn iTunes Match off, I've had nothing but bloody trouble with it since I bought it last week.
    - Only about 60% of music is availble, I refuse to upload 8000 tracks, it will take months.
    - I can't drag and drop music anymore to iPhone
    - Why does it not match certain tracks off the same album 6/10 tracks from the same album, really?
    - 5000 tracks with errors, really?
    How do I turn it off and go back to normal?  Is my library knackered now, will I have to reimport all my music.
    So bloody annoyed with this.

    Well, I've solved the problem now, just about!!!
    What I did was followed most of the guidlines in the link you gave me and set the folder location for Itunes library to the D Drive where it was present. I then re-synced my music (which deleted everything and added everything back to my Iphone) and now it is letting me check the point "manually manage music and videos" without giving me the message so I have lost my playlists doing this and had a very frustrating time trying to sort this out but everything as far as I can see is now in place and I've kept my apps etc....
    Thanks very much for the link Peter, it did help!

  • Why can't I sync music to my iPhone that I didn't buy off of iTunes?

    I've been having this problem since the release of iOS 7. iTunes will not let me sync songs to my iPhone 4s that I had bought from other sites, or have the CD to. It only syncs (through USB) the songs that I had previously bought off of iTunes. to me, this seems like a scam to get more money out of me, because I read up on iTunes Match, which I'd have to subscribe to, and it says in the description that it allows you to sync songs bought from other places. I'm considering selling my phone, and my iPod touch, for androids or windows phones because of this nonsense. If I have the songs in my possession, I should be able to put them on any device I want, without paying for a subscription to the service.

    I have no idea what you're doing then.
    I believe I have two songs from the iTunes store, both free. Everything else is either from my own CDs or is digital music from other sources, including retailers such as Amazon. I have no problem getting that music onto my iPod. Nor do I use iTunes Match.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "through USB".
    The process is:
    Import the music from CD into your iTunes Library.
    Add digital music (from non-Apple sources) to your Library
    Sync iPod/iPhone with iTunes.
    Job done
    So what are you doing? Can we assume that you have the music in your iTunes Library? If so, what do you do now?

  • HT1535 Two Macs; one iTunes account--why can't I move music to my iPhone from either machine?

    I have 2 macs--a MacBook Pro and an iMac. I have ONE Apple ID (iTunes ID) that is registered on both machines. I used to sync my iPhone from the iMac, but now the iMac is in storage. I want to move some music from my MacBook to my iPhone and it wont let me...something about only being allowed to be synced to one iTunes library. It would erase everything on my phone if I wanted to add anything from my MacBook's iTunes library. Why isnt it the same iTunes library--it has the same iTunes ID/Apple ID? Is there a solution to this that isnt really annoying and redundant (like mirroring my two computers' library)?
    This cannot be the first time someone has had this issue and Apple hasnt addressed it?

    Each iTunes library has a unique ID.
    Easiest way to do what you want is to use Home Sharing and copy the files from your MacBook to your  iMac then sync the phone to the iMac.

  • Why can't I sync music to my iPhone 4?

    So I've had my iPhone for about 3 years now. Since about 2 years ago I haven't been able to download music from my iTunes to my iPhone at all. When I drag the song over my iPhone's name it becomes transparent and doesn't let me add my songs. I have enough memory to hold songs, I have about 4.6 GBs left on my phone. I can't figure this out.

    Do you import them into iTunes or just copy the music in a folder ?

  • HT201210 why can i not put os6 on my iphone 4s always says it has failed

    Where did you download it from? What format is it in?

  • Why can't I download music onto my iphone from my new computer?

    I have a new computer that I've authorized. But I cannot transfer new music that I've purchased onto my existing iPhone. It says that my library is synced with another computer. I'd have to wipe out everything on my phone to sync to this new computer. I don't want to do that. How can I select this new computer as the computer that I want to sync to from now on? Will it help to un-authorize my old computer?
    THANKS!

    I didn't watch the video,  However, the procedure is simple.  Download the track from the other site, and make sure it is saved to your computer.  Then drag it into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder (which can be found inside your iTunes Media folder).

  • Why can't I listen music after updating iphone 4 to IOS 5

    After updating my iphone 4 to IOS 5.0, I can see songs listed under Music but I can't list. When I click play fuction, it doesn't have any sound. This happens to my files under podcasts.  I've tried several times to sync but it doesn't work at all.

    Panorama feature is for the iphone 4S and up, you won't have it on your iphone 4, Sorry.

  • Why can't I delete music from my iphone under IOS6 while using iTunes Match?

    It's easy enough to add music from the Cloud, but I have a HUGE music collection (all legally acquired, thanks) and I don't always want the same music taking up space on my iPhone. How do I get rid of a song/album/playlist, without turning off iTunes Match? Shouldn't this work like everything else -- I swipe right and press delete?

    Not a bug, it's the way Apple has designed things. Read here:
