When I plug in my phone into my computer and try to sync my playlists on iTunes to my iPhone, the sync completes but the songs will not transfer. I even tried deleting the existing playlists from my iPhone and I couldn't even do that. I have literally tried everything that I know. Any suggestions?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2
I figured it out! A million hours later and 4 in the morning but I figured it out. So I did everything updated my iPhone 7 newest software same w iTunes on my windows computer everything. Nothing worked. Until I had to go to my actual iPhone go to settings, music, then turn off iCloud Music Library and enable home sharing. Then once I did that I went back onto my computer went to iTunes and synced manually. All I did was on iTunes go to your phone section and click sync. Once I did so I was then able to add music. I dragged the music to the device and it was finally added. I domt know what's going on w apple and why it's become so much harder to sync music. It was so much easier back in the day. Anywho I'm just glad I finally figured it out. Now I can listen to my hypnobirthing tracks on my phone.
So yo I found a solution, click the only checked songs box, but make sure you have all you songs selected
"Its kind of annoying but you have to turn off passcode lock on your phone" : How do you do that, please ? I can't
Thanks !
hey,I will solve this problem for you =)
open iTunes > summary > scroll down > options > tick a box "Manually manage music and videos" > apply
Goodluck!
You are awesome - it helped me and saved me a lot of heart ache. Have to teach a class tomorrow and I have my music - Yayyyyyyy - thanks to you 🙂
THAT IS IT! FINALLY!!
I've been trying everything for literally hours and this finally fixed it. THANK YOU!
YAY! Glad it helped. I was tearing my hair out too 😉
YESSS, finally this has sorted my problem out. great help. thanks
Thanks!! It finally worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, I figured this out. I went to ITunes/Preferences and then turned on ICloud music. I have no idea how it ever turned itself off, but this worked immediately.
Nope its just killed my iphone, Apple wins again (waving white flag)
Thank you sooooo much!!! That was it precisely!!! 😀
Just had the exact same problem. Turning off passcode did not work for me. What worked was to turn off "icloud music library" under the music app on my iPhone.
Entire library not I tire sorry for mistake
OMG Thank You! It's such a pain but this technique definitely works 🙂
So i simply unpluged my iphone 6 and let it sync over the wifi and each and everyone of my songs started downloading. i believe the problem is between the hardware (itunes) or computer
Why won't my songs transfer from itunes to my iphone?
