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.

Why can't I transfer video from iphoto onto an external HD?

Can anyone tell me why I cannot transfer my iphoto video onto an external hard drive from imovie? Basically I am trying to transfer all my video from imovie onto an external hard drive to clear up space, but I cannot seem to find a way to do the video under iphoto. It let's me transfer all other video, but not the video under iphoto.

Have you tried the Export function in iPhoto? Since there is one with choices including Quicktime, I would guess that it has to be rendered first. So, you could try that and save it to your desktop and then copy it over (or, if available, directly to the external).

If you have a video in camera roll on the ipod touch is it only videos taken with the actual ipod or is it possible to transfer videos from your computer to the camera roll?

If you have a video in camera roll on the ipod touch is it only videos taken with the actual ipod or is it possible to transfer videos from your computer to the camera roll? The ipod touch was bought in feb. 2011

You can transfer videos from your computer to the iPod Touch, but not to the Camera Roll.
The Camera Roll is for temporary storage only - for photos/videos captured by the iPod Touch and for photos saved from a received email or from a website. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

Why can't I transfer photos from my iPhone 6 to my PC (Windows XP)?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 6 plus and I cannot transfer my photos in the usual way! I had an iPhone 4, then I got an iPhone 5s and I always managed to transfer my photos to my PC using the assistant scanner and camera wizard. I can't transfer my photos off the iPhone 6 - I still have the same computer, windows XP, the iPhone software is up to date....my computer recognises the iphone 6 but if I try to transfer the photos I get error messages like "unable to transfer the image" and "incorrect image"......help!

Hi dwadwine,
Is it possible that you have antivirus software that may be blocking this? Try disabling the antivirus software when you import the photos. Since your PC is recognizing the iPhone, do you have a different software program you can try? You may find some other solutions on the Windows forums.

HT201269 Why can't I transfer contacts from my old iphone to my new one?

I just bought the iPhone 5S and I'm trying to transfer contacts from my 4S and I can't figure it out. Some of my contacts were transferred but about 100 of them were not. Why?

Restore the latest backup made of the 4S to your 5S.

Why can't I stream videos from my iTunes to my appletv/ipad anymore?

I have updated all the software to the latest versions on all the devices, but recently I am unable to stream any of my videos from my iTunes library under the "computers" app. I have a MacBook Pro, appletv hd, and ipad 3, and I could only play videos on iTunes on my MacBook. Songs are also unable to play, it will play a snippet, stop then play another tiny bit, sort of like its streaming extremely slow. It won't stream hd or sd videos. I've tried resetting the modem/router, restoring the appletv, and nothing seems to work. Also, the weird thing is that i am able to stream to my xbox videos and music without any trouble, i only get the problem trying to stream to other apple products. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem. could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem? the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes. the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before. is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming? i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever. the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play.

Why can't I import videos from my own DVD's???? Am I doing something wrong

I've been trying to put a video on my ipod but am not having any success. I can't even get the DVD saved to my PC. Do I have to buy the video from itunes even though I already own the DVD???
Any input appreciated!

To convert a DVD for iPod use, you'll need to use third-party software.
You'll first need decrypting software to remove the encryption on the DVD.
Then you'll need conversion software to convert the decrypted files into an iPod friendly format.
Sometimes, both of those tasks can be accomplished with one piece of software.
PQ DVD seems to be popular for Windows users, as well as ImTOO.
Many other titles have been mentioned in this forum. Your question gets asked, and answered, a lot.
Here are some search results for you to review. There's great information contained in these previous posts.

Transfer videos from windows media player to iTunes

Want to transfer personal videos from media player into iTunes

The only way iTunes could play the content of a commercial video DVD would be to use a third-party tool to break the copy protection and convert the content to a format iTunes can handle, and that's not something we can do here since breaking the copy protection is illegal in the US.

Why can't I delete files from networked computer?

I have my iMac G5 networked to a PC. Lately, when I try to delete PC files and directories from the Mac, I keep getting the error message:
"The operation cannot be complete because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." It will not allow me to move files from the PC directories onto the Mac desktop either.
I have no problem in seeing all of the files from either computer. I can also delete Mac files while working at the PC. I have checked all connections and configurations. Is there anything special that I should check.
Thanks
Herschel

Are you using an Admin account to do these things? I get similar messages under those circumstances but when I use a regular account I can perform the edits (as long as I can see the content). I have no idea why this is so - but essentially you are using your OS X's server capabilities that are built into the non-server edition of OS X.

Can I delete songs/videos from my computer if they are already on my iPod?

Can I take my songs and videos off my computer once i have them on my iPod? They take up an enormous amount of room and I would like to use it for other things.

You need to select the iPod in iTunes.
On the Summary tab, select manually manage music.
Note that if you delete it from iTunes, do not have a backup and your iPod crashes, you will not be able to download iTunes store purchases again. You will have to reload your own CDs again also.
Also, not that you ALWAYS have at least 10%-15% free hard drive space on your C: or boot drive.
If you are close, I recommend you get an external drive. I've them regularly as low as $50 for an 80GB external drive. yould easily use this for your library.
I have a 250GB external drive I paid $100 at CompUSA.
