Sounds dumb, I realize.
I have some music on my iPhone 5S and I don't remember how it got there. At any rate iTunes on iOS 8.4 is a new app.
I want to transfer selected music from my MacBook Pro's external hard drive where I keep my iTunes music to my iPhone 5S.
Can't seem to see how to do that.
Instructions please.
Thanks a lot.
Steve
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4
Hello nevets2,
It sounds like you need to get music from your iTunes library to your phone. You will need to sync them over to your phone with the iTunes sync options and this article will help you do that:
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB
If that is not the case, can you elaborate a bit on what you are trying to do?

I think that article was if I wanted to sync all my music. Even so, when I connected my phone to the computer and opened iTunes, selected the phone, and selected music on the side menu, the computer just said I had access to my music via iCloud and would not even let me sync my music. What's even worse, on the Music app on my iPhone, I did not seem to be able to access my music in the iCloud. Go figure.
But what I really wanted to do was import selected music from my iTunes music library on my hard drive over to my iPhone. That article
wasn't it, unfortunately.
But thanks

In order to sync your music locally from iTunes to your phone you will need to disable Apple Music temporarily:
Go to Settings > Music> Apple Music:
