iTunes 12.2 cannot transfer songs to iPhone (iOS8.4)

I just managed to manually move some music files from itunes onto my itouch

i was getting the same message,

• i logged out of my itunes account both on the desktop and the itouch
• disconnected itocuh
• closed itunes
• restarted itunes and connected itouch
• i moved my chosen music files onto my itouch

The Reply is actually wrong...or at least not the best solution if you have apple music.

iTunes... File > Library > update iTunes cloud Library...

Then everything you have copied or downloaded to your iTunes is uploaded to a personal space... and just appears under you music on ANY iOS device you have... so you don't have to manual copy anything across at all. Then you can stream directly from your store... OR if you do want it offline > in iOS music along slide the album name click the '...' and make songs available offline.

"In the music app, go to your profile (top left corner) and sign out. Then drag your music onto the phone."

This totally fixed the whole issue! Thank you:)

This is why i'm becoming more and more disillusioned with apple. things used to just work, but now we have these ridiculous workarounds?!

Stupid.

PS - Thanks for solving this for me!

And then I had to eject and plug the phone back in for it to work. Thanks!

Thanks this helped me out a lot. Merry christmas!!!

Simply copy your music to your iTunes folder on your Mac/PC and then it will upload it to iCloud and it will then appear on your phone along with all your other iTunes music. Simple.

Hi,

Try this:

1. Keep iCloud Music Library activated in both iTunes and iPad or iPhone. Add your songs to the music library: Menu File > Add to library...

2. iTunes will import songs.

3. iCloud Music Library will try to match the songs to the ones Apple has. If it can't find a match, it'll upload the songs to Apple Music.

4. Once the songs have been uploaded, look for them on your iPad, iPhone. They should be there.

5. Go to the songs, or album, or artist in your iPhone or iPad music library, and click on "make available offline" (which is the symbol of a cloud with a down arrow. The songs will be downloaded for listening offline.

Drag and drop in iTunes won't work. It'll return that error message.

I worked for me.

This worked. Thank you for taking the time to help out!

this was very helpful man, thanks!
