Why can't i transfer music from my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5.

Hey guys.
I was wondering how i'm able to put music from the itunes on my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5.
when i connect the usb it says
The iphone " insert name " cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
i downloaded the latest itunes to no effect.
any advice would be so appreciated, i just got my iphone today. music is the only thing i really want on it.
thank you in advance.

Hello Likolette,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you're unable to move files to your external hard drive ever since it was unplugged before being ejected.  To start troubleshooting this issue, I'd like you to please repair the disk using Disk Utility.

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

  • Why can't I transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my external HD?

    Hello,
    I was transferring files from my macbook to my Buffalo HD-PNTU3 when it was accidentally removed improperly; Once I plugged it back in I could no longer transfer any files the cursor would turn into the round banning icon and wouldn't take the command.
    After reading some posts in the community I tried repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility but it was in vain. Any propositions?
    Thank you in advance,

  • HT201263 After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back

    After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back. Any idea how can I do that?

    After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
    Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3?

  • Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone without itunes or an internet connection?

    Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software.  Thanks.

    Some decent suggestions for apps to do this in this thread:

  • How do I transfer my music from my macbook pro to my iPhone using iCloud

    I have set up iCloud on my macbook pro and iPad2. But I cannot transfer all of my purchased apps and music to my iPad. I also cannot transfer my iTunes purchases from my macbook pro to my new iPhone 4S. How do I get iCloud to do this?  Have I missed a step activating iCloud?

    You don't use iCloud for this. You do it with iTunes.
    On your iPhone 4s you need to use the same Apple ID for the iTunes Stores that you use on your Macbook Pro. Your iCloud ID can be different for syncing calendars, mail, etc. but in the iTunes stores on your phone, it needs to be the same Apple ID that you bought the apps/music with.

    I'm trying to get my music from my Itunes on my Macbook Pro to my Iphone 4s and can't get it to work.  I'm still trying to learn how mac's work since I'm somewhat new to it.  Also, I need to change my Apple ID since the email I have registered to it is no longer available (Hotmail no longer exists), but in doing so, I don't want to lose any data I've accumlated with my current ID.  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can I Sync My Music From My Macbook Pro To An External Drive

    I have a MacBook Pro, which has all of my music stored on its hard drive and I play this through iTunes and sync with my iPod.
    I am looking for a simple way of synchronizing this with an external hard drive I have so my music is kept up to date and should I add any music to my MacBook it will automatically update the external drive and hopefully this will provide back up in case anything happens.
    Thanks
    Big G

    There really is only one way to do this but it's not automatic in the sense you are thinking. Use a utility for syncing folders or any good backup utility such as:
    Suggested Backup Software
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Configure the utility to sync (not backup) the two folders. Then set up a schedule for the sync to occur on a regular basis.

  • HT201302 How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone WITHOUT deleting them from my computer?

    I have ~5000 photos on my MacBook Pro, only a few if which were taken with my iPhone. If I use Sync in iTunes any photos on my computer that were not taken with my iPhone are deleted from my computer. There is no obvious way to prevent this happening. Could I create a duplicate iPhoto library and "sacrifice" it while syncing my iPhone without losing other libraries? Any other ideas?

    No, that doesn't work that way.
    Photos on your computer ae not deleted by iTunes.  When you sync photos to an iPhone using iTunes, photos on the iPhone that are not in the folders or albums being synced by itunes will be deleted from the iPhone. Photos on your computer should not be touched at all.
    Also transferring pictures from the iPhone to a computer has nothing to do with iTunes.
    It is done through Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, or even Image Capture.

  • Why can't I transfer music from my iphone to itunes on a new computer

    I just installed itunes on a new computer but it will not let me transfer the songs on my iphone. I have already authorized the computer but it keeps asking me to do so.
    Thanks

    You should transfer your library from your old computer to the new one.
    If that is not possible then you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
