Why won't music go onto my iPhone 5?

I have my iPhone 5 plugged in, music is to be handled manually, music share is off on the phone so that I can drag mjsic over to the phone (or at least I thought I should be able to) but when I drag songs over the music shows up as gray in iTunes, but does not show up on the phone itself.

On the iPhone summary screen you have two options. Sync specific albums by music tab or you can sync all but let the iTunes main library sync checked specific songs. To do the latter:
- on the iTunes, go to iPhone summary screen
- check the box "sync checked songs and videos"
- Apply
- on the music tab of the summary, select all songs. Same for the rest of your tabs. Apply.
- on iTunes main under your music, check what songs you want to sync. Even videos.
- on the iPhone summary screen hit sync.

  • I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone.

    I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone?
    Lois

    Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
    Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
    Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
    SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
    Thanks for your help!

  • I just updated iTunes and now it will not re-sync my music back onto my iPhone.

    I just updated my iTunes. I went back to re-sync all my music back onto my iPhone 4 and it says, "Waiting for changes to be applied". What does this mean & how to i get my music back onto my iPhone?

    Perhaps give one of the following documents a try:

  • Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1.  My other phone still at 6.0.1 is detected just fine.

    Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone 4 which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1.  My other iPhone 4 is still at 6.0.1 and is detected just fine.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Everything was working ok before the upgrade and still works except for the detection.  Coincidence?

    After 4 updates to Xcode it started to connect again.  Now it's working fine.

  • HT201398 Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?

    Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?
    I've restarted the phone and itunes several times, have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and itunes separately, and it still just shows 'Installing" under the greyed out app.

    I have the same problem with an iPhone 5s. All podcast fail to work on the phone since updating to iOS 8.1.3. What is going on? Is Apple taking this problem serious?

  • Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

    Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

    Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

  • Why won`t apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

    Why won't apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

    We are just users like you. So we can't answer that question. However, there are hundreds of posts about it, so a search of the forum might be enlightening.
    The iPhone 4 is four generations out of date. Have you noticed that when any company releases a new product or version of a product it has features that previous versions did not? If it didn't then what would be the point of coming out with a new version?

  • Why won't my apps on my iPhone 4 update?

    Why won't my apps on my iphone 4 update?  If I select "update all" OR "update" for individual apps, they still won't update.  I have 18 that need updating. Any advise would be appreciated.

    As the iPhone 4 doesn't support iOS 8, it might be useful to establish what phone and iOS you actually have. Go to Settings>General>About. What is the model number? What is the iOS version?
    What do you mean by "maps app will not load?". Do you mean the built in Maps app? What happens when you try? What troubleshooting steps have you already taken? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the apple appears?

  • HT1688 Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down when I press the bottom volume up only works?

    Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

    Hey cacobo,
    I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope that helps,
    David

  • How can I get my music back onto my iPhone from the the cloud

    I have a new primary PC.  My music Library is on an old dying laptop.  I have found all my music has disappeared from my phone.  Some is on the cloud, but it appears to only be the music purchased on iTunes, only about 1/3 of my collection.  Now I find all the songs on my iPhone are ONLY iTunes songs and I have to download them each time I want to play them.  Since I'm in a regional area with poor coverage, having to download my own songs every time through cellular is ridiculous! How can I copy my entire collection back onto my iPhone?  And then where's the rest of my collection?  Will I have to rip all my cd's again? If so NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Have also lost all my ringtones which were a Podcast that WAS purchased through iTunes - now gone.

    I did this last night, and copied all the music from old laptop onto new one.  But there was still a lot of stuff missing, mainly from my own CDs that I'd ripped.  Also I'm still getting the icon on my iPhone that the music is on the iCloud. This doesn't suit me because it will cost me a fortune to download each song by cellular when I'm out driving.  I need all my stuff on my iphone.  Do you know how I can get it to download everything i need apart from clicking on every album and selecting "download" from cloud one at a time?

  • Why won't music match work with my Sonos system now?

    I updated my iTunes to music match, because I added a new computer for my wife and she wanted easy access the music library.  I used the music match and the iCloud to make it easier to get the music on the new computer.  It was fairly simple to set it up, however, when I installed the sonos controller on the new computer, it couldn't find the music library.  Why won't my sonos work, when I can see the music on iTunes in its library.

    Maybe the speakers are not compatible with your computer.  Contact the manufacturer.
    You can try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM to see if that resolves the issue.
