How to sync my own music to my iphone 4s?
Basically, I have music on my laptop from CDs and files that people have sent me,
I've transferred all of them to my itunes library but they are not showing on my iphone after the sync has complete.
Is this because iPhone 4s only allow you to listen to music on it that you have purchased from itunes itself?
ITunes (and iOS devices) are NOT just for music purchased from iTunes.
• Can you see the music in the iTunes Library?
• Does the computer recognize the iPhone and automatically start iTunes?
• Do you see anything strange (messages/errors) as the sync progresses?
If they have been added to your iTunes library correctly, the music from CDs will sync to the iPhone.
it would not surprise me if the files sent to you appear gray, and will not sync to the iPhone or say "not found".
iTunes doesn't allow pirated music. Only legally purchased music. If you have a CD, iTunes assumes you purchased it and allows you to import the CD directly into your iTunes library, usually with all the information intact (song title, artist, etc.)
Once you select your iPhone from the devices (top right button on the iTunes screen)
This should show a summary page with the name of your iPhone.
click on the music tab
check the box that says sync music.
this will allow you to chose all music (library) or selected playlists or songs
click on Apply button on the bottom right
then sync
if you missed any of these steps it would explain why your music isn't on the iPhone
- Songs in itunes won't sync to ipod but will sync to iphone? So i have over a 1000 songs in my itunes library and they will all sync to my iphone no problem. But when i try to sync to my ipad (which has enough memory available) it will not.
- My Iphone 4S won't sync properly and it only wokrs for like 5 seconds but won't sync? It will only go for 5 seconds say its done and then it won't even sync my music. I hit apply and this has never happened to me before. I really need this quick.
- Music won't sync to iphone when i sync itunes? I plug my iphone 4 into my computer, and sync my itunes stuff. It syncs the contacts, calendars, apps, everything except my music.
- If I sync another iphone to my iTunes will this delete my previous sync on iTunes? I synced my phone to iTunes and now let's say I want to sync my friends iphone to the same computer. Will this delete my previous sync? I'm hoping it does because I want my previous sync deleted as I don't want others getting my stuff on their iPhones thanks heaps
