New iPhone. Not all music came over when new phone set up in store. I have 1900 or so songs on iTunes on desktop PC. Don’t want to subscribe to Apple Music though I did activate my free 3-month subscription jsu because it was free. I just want my own library on my phone. Nothing I’ve tried works.
iPhone 15, iOS 17
My understanding is that if you try the free trial of Apple Music, you will no longer see your library in iTunes.
Perhaps the music that has made it to your phone is purchases from the iTunes Store, downloaded directly from the store to your phone, whereas the missing music is not from the iTunes Store and therefore has to be copied onto your phone from iTunes. (So you will need to end your use of Apple Music.)
Not exactly, Fiend. If someone installs the new apps, including Apple Music (an unfortunate and confusing sharing of names with Apple Music the service), Apple Devices, and Apple TV, then whether or not they've signed up for the free trial of Apple Music the service, tracks and playlists will no longer appear in iTunes but rather will be in the Apple Devices app for syncing.
Regards.
Varjak, you may well be right. However, I have no way to copy the missing songs from iTunes, where they reside. I tried to use it to do so, and it simply wouldn't function. Let me add that I was an early adopter of Apple iPod, and somehow created three accounts. The early two have only a little in them, I think, and when once talking to Apple, I was told they could not be consolidated. I have the passwords for each, and after I signed out of iTunes and tried to sign in with the former account names, the passwords wouldn't work. They used to. It feels like iTunes has been disabled or something. I'm very frustrated. I don't want to load everything into Apple Music as I have no intention of keeping it after the trial; I paid for the music once and I'm not interested in paying again once a month. I'm no longer interested in streaming, new songs, etc. I just want my own music on my phone.
Thanks for the correction varjak paw.
iTunes and iPhone 15
