How to add music from a second computer to my iPhone 5

It imports as a song.

If you want to transfer music on two or more computers(libraries), I have found a trick/solution!

1. simply connect your iphone to any other comuter and open itunes

2. open explorer or finder and find the music u want to copy onto iphone/idevice

3. select the music u want then press ctrl-c

4. go back to itunes and select your idevice

5. click on music( in your idevice)

6. press ctrl-v

vloila it starts copying them over.

Winning!

this worked perfectly for me. thankfully i had already had a playlist so it wasnt much work. thanks alot

thank you so much! works great. who woulda thunk?

where were you abe to find the autofill from tab? i cant seem to find it anywhere when i open the on this iphone tab

I have the same problem. Had an extensive library on my old MacBook. The computer was stolen from me so I bought a new 13" retina. Transferred my old tunes (from a backup disk) to the new computer, but now won't let me add any songs to iPhone/iPod.

Drag/Drop won't work and neither will iExplorer. I'm worried to syn because it might delete all my apps etc...

Any advice?

1. simply connect your iphone to any other comuter and open itunes

2. open explorer or finder and find the music u want to copy onto iphone/idevice

3. select the music u want then press ctrl-c

4. go back to itunes and select your idevice

5. click on music( in your idevice)

Winning!

Thank you Paulie.Phonic

There's an app called AnyTrans that does this much better than itunes.

It's silly to have to get a 3rd party app to take care of basic functions but Apple loves to make life difficult.

You shouldn't have to move your music all over the place. Sometimes you have things stored on several computers and you shouldn't have to take the time to move it all into one system that might just die on you and then have to put it all onto something new and erase your iPhone just to reupload it all.

Why can you authorize multiple computers on your account and not add from those computers??? I have my work computer and my home computer and I have files on both but now I have to move them from place to place just to get the files on my phone? This sounds like antiquated technology!

I'm going to try this and thank you for the helpful suggestion.

most easily done using home sharing through iTunes and wifi.

you sound like antiquated technology... lol… sorry i couldn't help myself

When your device is plugged in and you're in iTunes: Go to your device summary tab, scroll down and click on "Manually manage music and videos". This worked for me.
