Why won't my iTunes sync my music onto my iPhone?

When I plug my iPhone into my laptop and open iTunes to sync my music, it starts to back up all my things onto my computer but it never actually goes passed the backing up, it just stays on that. I've left my phone being plugged into the laptop for over 2 hours and when I returned it said it was still backing up. I want my music on my phone but I don't know why it won't work, help?

I used to have itunes and it was just so stressful whenever I wanted to sync music. I was in the same position as you. I think what you have to do is click on music library and then one of the tab things at the top of the page (like view etc) and there'll be the option to sync. If that's not there then you can click on your iphone and click sync at the bottom. Then just select music and it should sync it. Sorry if this was useless but hope I helped.
