Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support

I have the opposite problem. The only music that I can move from my Mac mini to my iPhone 5s is music I have uploaded to the computer with a cd. I can not move any music I purchased on iTunes. The only way I can get that music on my phone is by downloading from the cloud on my phone through the purchased tab in the iTunes store app on my phone. But by doing it that way I do not get the album artwork. This has been a HUGE pain the neck for me!!! I don't understand why I can't just manually click and drag music as I always have. When I click and drag music that I have bought in iTunes, it shows up on the device as grey out with a dotted circle on the left and doesnt show up at all on my iPhone. Does anyone have any advice?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

I know this is very late but you can get a application called iExplorer on both Mac and PC and you can automatically sync all of your songs from your iDevice straight to iTunes

Hope this helps if you still need the answer..

If you cannot transfer music from iTunes on computer to iPhone directly, you can try other method, for example, using Dropbox.

You can transfer music from computer to iPhone via iTunes. The steps come from Apple Support.

Download iTunes > Add music > Connect your iPhone > Click in iTunes on your iPhone > Tab music > Check music you want > Sync.

But in this way, iTunes will automatically erase your iPhone music restored in Music and sync all music with iTunes.

If you don’t want to lose your existing music on iPhone, you need to go to iTunes > Click in iTunes on your iPhone > Go to Summary, go to the bottom of the window, tick “Manually manage music and videos”. Now you can transfer music from computer to iPhone by directly dragging them to iPhone interface.

I've done all this. When I did the most recent iOS and iTunes upgrade I lost some downloads. I reloaded a CD to iTunes but can't get it to transfer to my phone.I can drag the selection but a blue box will not appear on my device.

yeah! I just upgraded and lost stuff from phone and iTunes. Reloaded to iTunes but now can't get it back on my phone. ****** annoying!
