Hi,
In iTunes i want to copy song from MBA to iPhone, but when i drag it to iPhone, error message shows up saying: Some files wasn't copied to the iPhone, because it has iCloud photo library turned on.
Can anyone help?
I don't want to deactivate iCloud photo library, because i have many pictures in there.
Thanks
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Hello there, jelinekcz.
It seems you are trying to sync music content manually to your iPhone from your MacBook Air but are getting a message that you cannot because the iCloud Music Library is on. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in that regard:
Move content from iTunes on your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
By default, iTunes manages the content of your iTunes library (including your music, TV shows, movies, and more) manually, which gives you control over the content you want to take with you on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than can fit on your device.
If you're a member of Apple Music or have an iTunes Match subscription, you have iCloud Music Library turned on. When you have iCloud Music Library turned on, you can't manually manage music. You can still manage videos using the steps below.
Manually add items to your device
- Connect your device to your computer.
- Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
- Choose the content that you want to add to your device from your iTunes library.
- Drag the content to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. A panel should appear. Locate your device.
If you're using an iPhone, you can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
If you're using an iPad or iPod, you can add music from multiple iTunes Libraries, but video from only one iTunes Library.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Kind Regards.
