Why can I not transfer songs onto my iPhone?

I recently bought the iPhone 5 and went to put some songs onto it from my laptop, I already had some on my mums laptop and my sisters so I did them first, when I started to put the ones from my laptop on it wouldn't work, when I dragged the song over to the 'My iPhone' section it wouldn't accept it, what should I do?

Did you buy the songs from itunes?

I ever used the third party software to solve the same problem. Xilisoft iPhone Transfer can transfer songs and photos etc. From computer to iphone, and vice verse.
Hope it is helpful for you.

  • Why won't songs I downloaded from youtube transfer onto my iphone from iTunes? I used an mp3 converter to download songs from youtube to itunes, and then download them to my iphone. I have done this with possibly close to 70 songs. But I just tried it with about 13 songs and it won't transfer, and it shows a little gray dashed circle next to the check mark on itunes, and it will play from itunes, but just won't transfer to my phone.

Does anybody know why?
