Why won't my new iphone 5 download my music when plugged into my laptop?
My old iphone 4 downloaded just fine. Normally I take the music I didn't buy from itunes and just "select all then drag and drop into my iphone folder thing on iTunes" and it would be added and it was easy for me to do this, is this now not working because I have IOS 7? Everytime I try to drag my music into the iphone place like I used to it just won't let me. What do I do?
I suppose you have itunes on your laptop, if not, download it; then import your music (it does not matter where you got it from) from your laptop into itunes (you have to open itunes and click on "add file or add folder" on the itunes bar); once the music files have been added to the itunes library, you just plug your phone and sync it on itunes.

I don't know what to do to get my information from my iPhone onto my new computer and to my iTunes.
- Why will my iPhone only charge when plugged into my laptop? I've swapped cords, outlets etc. It's just something with the darn phone. Help!

Other iphones work, just not mine, Mine will only charge at my laptop.
