Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I tried home sharing and that only works if I'm close to my labtop and if it's on. I wanted to use my music to listen to while I drive around in my car and I can't do that. The albums I brought and some music files I got from friendswon't sync with my phone off of home sharing and there are like 600 of them. I also don't want to pay any type of extra money for iTunes Match. Any suggestions?
iPhone 5c
Sync the phone directly with iTunes, using the cable that came with it?
For those albums and music you own, you could always load it into iTunes on your computer and then sync your iPhone using that iTunes. Then the music would be stored on your iPhone.
You refer to "some music files I got from friends." You do not own those!
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that my iPhone 5c doesn't sync with iTunes. I've tried turning it off and on, I reset my entire phone and reloaded everything from iCloud and I've tried tampering with the settings given to me. Still nothing. Is the phone faulty?
It is not the phone that's faulty. It's the iTunes installation / USB driver that is not detecting the iPhone.
Are you using iTunes 11.1.5 (current version)?
Yes I am using the current version. That was the first thing it told me to do was upgrade ^_^
Which computer and which OS
I have Windows 8.

Thanks to you and everyone else who has suggested this solution, the problem was fixed ^_^
But he owns those albums, we're just sharing. I haven't ilegally downloaded anything, stuff like that always gives me viruses.
Is there anyway to get my music on my iPhone 5c besides home sharing?
