Cannot transfer music from iTunes to iPhone

Jay Dee

Hi,
This has probably come up before but I can't find it.

Music in iTunes will not transfer to my iPhone.
The music is from cd/mp3 sources.
iTunes is a new load as my computer crashed and had to be rebooted/restored.
Itunes shows "My iPhone" in the top right but when I highlight the cd to transfer, it moves across but the "my iPhone" icon will not light up , the "playlist" opens only. I now have the same cd in "playlists" 3 times.
I have not used this new version of iTunes before.
There is probably a very simple way of doing this, but I can't seem to find it.
Suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Jay

Just to clarify, are you trying to transfer an actual CD to your iPhone? For example, you have a CD in the drive and are attempting to transfer that directly to your iPhone without converting it?

Jay Dee

Hi,

No, the music is already on iTunes on my computer.
It's transferring from the computer that I have the problem.

Thank

Hi,

I have tried that but when I drag it across, the "playlist" , under the iPhone icon lights up but the iPhone does not light up. Leaving me nowhere to put it ?

Try iTunes settings make sure you have box ticked manually mange iPhone music etc checked

Hi,

When I ticked the "manual " box, it says that this iPhone is synced with another iTunes library.
But if I do this I will loose what I have already on my iPhone, and i don't really want to do this.

Am I stuck ??

Can I "discard" the old iTunes library I am linked to ?

Thanks

You can only sync music and videos from 1 iTunes library at a time. If you try sync with another it will delete any media from the first library
