How to transfer music from macbook to iPhone?

I'm having a hard time transferring music from macbook to iphone.
I just want to transfer CERTAIN songs NOT my entire library
How do I do it?

If you purchased them through iTunes, just download them straight from your phone. If you didn't purchase them through iTunes, check the little box to the side of the songs that you want to download in your library, change your settings to only sync checked items, and then sync it up.

It would have been helpful if you gave details about how you tried to put music on your iPhone and what happened when you tried. You're basically asking people what to do differently and it's difficult to do that when you haven't said what you've been doing.

If you've got iTunes you can set for manual management of music and video and just drag and drop from the iTunes window to the iPhone tab on sidebar. You can bring sidebar up using Ctrl S. Some people think that manual management doesn't work on iPhones. I've used that on 3rd and 4th gen iPod Touch and the iPhone 4 & 5.

  • IPhone 4 to Macbook Pro music transfer? I have an iPhone 4, and I just recently received my Macbook Pro with Retina Display.

I'm looking for a FREE program that I can download that will transfer my music (and movies, audiobooks, etc) from my iPhone 4 to my new Macbook. So far, every program I have tried doesn't register that my iPhone is even connected.
