Transferring non-bought iTunes songs to iPhone?
Okay, I have been searching and searching and there are so many questions and answers on the internet about iTunes and song sharing that I'm so overwhelmed I thought I'd just ask my own question.
I have some songs on my iTunes library on my Mac that I didn't get from the iTunes store. They only appear on my iTunes if I'm playing from my laptop. I desperately want these songs on my iPhone before a roadtrip next week, and I know how to get paid songs on both devices (or thought I did, but that seems to have stopped working-different question) and I can't figure it out. I have tried home sharing but I can't get that to work, and I don't want to connect to my laptop via USB cord because then won't I lose the non iTunes store songs that I already have on my phone from ages ago? I'm about at my wit's end. Okay, was that confusing? Basically:
-third party songs on my laptop iTunes
-won't transfer to my iPhone wirelessly
-risk of losing songs if I connect with wire
I'm desperate and frustrated.
You can add any mp3 song into your itunes list, then copy to your phone. I do it all the time.
Your going to have to risk connecting it to your laptop. Connect it, then open the summary tab, and make sure Manually Manage Music and Videos is unchecked. If you get a warning that songs may be lost, just disconnect it; you won't be able to do anything. Then, go to your iPhone's library on iTunes and drag the song file into it. Wait for iTunes to do its thing, then check if it's on your iPhone. If its not, then just try again until its on there, i had a song that took like 8 tries just to get it on my iPod Touch.
- Transferring songs to PC: Iphone back up? My laptop was stolen and therefore lost my iPhone backup, music, contacts, photos everything. I have exhausted what feels like every 'program' to try and transfer my data from my phone to my PC so I can then put back on iTunes. None of the programs I have tried, unless they are a trial (which only lets you transfer a limited amount of songs). Please if someone knows an actual program that works, preferably free, that would be greatly apprciated! This is driving me nuts!
- Transferring songs from iTunes to iPhone? I got some new songs on iTunes on my computer and i want to transfer them to my phone. I only want to transfer these new songs onto my iphone but also keep the ones that are already in my phone, on there. How do I do it?
- Transferring songs from iTunes to iPhone? - 1 I don't know how to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPhone. I don't know what buttons to click on iTunes or what to do. I don't have a manual since I was given this phone by a friend. I'd ASK for the manual but said friend became an a** and no longer talks to me or is nice to me and thus I can't ask for it. He's also too dumb to look for it or ask his mom to find it. ANYWAY, how do I transfer music from iTunes to my iPhone?
- Transferring songs from iphone/itunes account to android phone? I have had an iphone 4 for quite some time now and I'm looking at switching over to a Samsung Galaxy s4 because I've heard its great and a lot more customization friendly, unlike the iphone and apple devices ha ha. But I'm wondering if I can transfer all the songs I have on itunes over to the galaxy? Is this possible to do without some ridiculous method?
