Why can't i put songs on my iphone 4s?

I just got an iphone 4s and i've been trying to plug it into my computer so i can download music onto it but itunes doesn't come up when its plugged in and its name doesn't come up in "devices". I've been told to get the newest version of itunes but everytime i try to download it, it fails. Any advice? I've tried restarted my phone as well

That's what you get when you buy an iphone

Somethings wrong if the updated version of iTunes does not work on your PC or Mac whichever. You need the updated iTunes version to make your iPhone 4S be completely be available on your iTunes. Reason being your iPhone 4S is up-to-date and the your potential old version of iTunes isn't up-to-date. So if you even them out the current iTunes won't support your updated iPhone 4S.

  • Why did ios 7 put music on my iphone when i had deleted or removed these songs prior? So I had deleted or removed songs from my phone that i just didn't like anymore or got tired of. They were still on the computer and in the icould service but they didn't show up on the physical phone device itself. Now after ios 7 everything from the cloud is basically on my phone and i don't want them. Is there a way to reverse this or will i have to go through my entire library and hand delete the songs?
