IPhone :: Sharing Purchased Music From ITunes To Both MacBook And It
May 1, 2012
I have purchased music mostly from iTunes from my MacBook, a few times from my iPhone directly. When I like to share it in between, some music songs can not get from the Mac to the iPhone, even if I have approved the two to share music in between? I understand that you can share between up to 5 hardware devices owned by yourself.
Can I share my iPhone's iTunes library with my Macbook using HomeShare? Or is only from Macbook to mobile devices? I have set everything up - but my Macbook does not find my iPhone.
I'm not sure when this started but I've been putting up with it for a while. Most of the time when my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1) syncs with iTunes (always running the latest version on Win 7) either via USB or WiFi, the songs I didn't purchase from the iTunes store (i.e. ripped) disappear from my iPhone. I have to then uncheck the box to sync music in iTunes and then recheck it so it copies all 2500+ songs back to the iPhone. I probably have to do this 2 times a week and would turn off syncing if I didn't have a need, but I do need it. This happens far more often on USB than WiFi but it's driving me crazy. While working with Apple support to troubleshoot another issue, I completely removed and reinstalled all Apple software and reset content and settings on my iPhone in the past 3-4 months.
I have a iphone 4 (not S) and have purchased movies on it. Just some Pixar shorts. I want to move these purchases to my computer so they are backed up, in other words, sync the other way. I have my phone/itunes set to manually manage music and movies because my music library on my computer would be too big for the phone and I don't want all my music on my phone anyway. Problem is, I can't just drag the movies from my phone to my itunes when the phone is plugged in, and when I choose "sync movies" I get a warning box that says:Are you sure you want to sync movies? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone "dorothy's iPhone" will be removed and replaced with movies from your iTunes library.
I want to avoid this so I don't have to take the time to reload particular songs/albums that I've already put on the phone. Isn't there a way to transfer purchases you've made on your phone onto your computer without losing everything that's already on your phone? Is there a way to sync only movies? One would think so if you just checked the box, but the words "all existing songs, movies, and TV shows" make me too nervous to check the box.
I have an iPhone 4s that I want to transfer music from to iTunes in Yosemite on a MacBook Air. I deleted my account on the laptop and my music with it. Is there a free way to do this? Most of the music on the iPhone was not purchased in iTunes.
I purchased an album of Alert Tones off of iTunes, but they appear as music on my iPhone, instead of as tones so I can change my alerts in Settings > Sounds. All of the tones are only 3 - 5 seconds long, so they clearly are not "songs". I cannot figure out how to "move/convert" them to being sounds (alerts), not songs/music. What makes me even more crazy is that if I purchase a single tone, it will go into my Settings > Sounds as an alert/ringtone, but when I purchase the whole album of alert tones, they are saved as music.
i just want to confirm that i got this right, because no one seems to be mentioning this. I have an iPhone 3g and there doesn't seem to be any app file sharing in itunes. Is this feature only for the iphone 4 and 3gs. Can someone please confirm or deny this, cause i need to know because im sick and tired of transferring my pdfs via wifi.
I have bought my new iPhone 4 and can't add any music. I also dont know how to add music. Before that, I used to use Android. It was so easy to do. But here I cant find anything? How can I add music/video from my macbook to iPhone music/ video?Â
I searched online about this matter but everywhere I found that, I have to add music to itunes at first. I even dont know how to do it.
*another thing, is there any way to add music to 'iPhone Music' from my whatsapp ?Â
Both my husband and I just got IPhones on friday. My question is this. I have a mobileme and both of our macbooks are hooked up to my itunes account and I set up both IPhones like this as well. It didn't make sense to me to bother with new one since the $$ comes from the same bank account. So I would like to know if there is a way to share our paid applications? For example a few gaming apps that allow us to play together on our WiFi, but of course I only want to buy them once if at all possible. Any other couples sharing an itunes account (on 2 separate macs and iphones) figured this out?
I want to setup my phone to stream my iTunes on my home computer. My phone has OS 5.1.1 installed and I do not see a menu option for settings>ipod anywhere. Is there something I'm missing to setup Home Sharing? I've already done setup on the computer.
Can someone please tell me how to turn off automatically syncing songs on all my apple devices. For example if I download a song on my ipod it automatically puts it on my iphone and I want to stop that. I know this a simple change in the settings but I have looked everywhere.
I have just synced my iphone to new apple desktop. But now my itunes list of purchased music has gone from iphone, even the icon!How do I get my itunes back?
We have recently purchased the new I-pad, we have tried to sync our 2, 3gs phones w/ I-pad. Some Music shows up transparent in I-tunes and won't access. What must be done to access music?
I feel silly for asking this question but I've spent an hour now googling to death how to transfer ringtones I've puchased from iTunes onto my iPhone 3GS. I've done everything possible. I've renamed the files to M4R as suggested from m4u. I've just dragged onto the iphone in devices and not in the music library or ringtone library and nothing. Under the Ringones tab on the iphone when connected to iTunes shows no ringtones.
I'm having a problem getting ringtones from itunes onto my iphone. I purchased about a dozen ringtone sounds and also bought the ringer. They show up in itunes under ringtones but don't show up on the phone even after I sync. I have everything automatically syncing. I'm running the latest version of iTunes & am current on my phone software. I'm on Windows.
I have not thought about this in months since i have not restore to a new phone in months, but since installing 4.0 i have, and have made the mistake of downloading apps i thought i bought already, but it turns out i did not! (alot of work related stuff from the same app developer who's icons look the same for the different apps he creates)
I know you could not find this out as of mid last year, but what about now? Is there a history anywhere that will show you what you have paid for? IMO itunes should automatically download all the apps you have purchased whenever you login if they are not there.
I bought a couple of ebooks at the iTunes Store a little while ago and can not read them on my iphone 4s. Yes I have dowloaded "iBooks" and when I go to Newsstand these books do not appear. Fist of all I had down loaded the books from iTunes>Store On my Macbook to load into my iPhone. So in order to read these books on iPhone am I supposed to purchase them through iTunes Store on my iPhone explicitly? Is that the only way I get to read them on my iphone? Ad if so, then why does iTunes seel them from iTunes Store on my Macbook?
I purchased 3 ringtones from the Apple Store and put them in my Tones library under iTunes. Now I want to sync my Tones library to my iPhone. I have tried many things but the tones are not showing up on my iPhone.
A while ago I purchased a movie on the itunes store. I never did put it on my ipod but just kept it on my computer. I updated Itunes and then the movie disappeared and I can't redownload it without buying it again. Is there some way I can retrieve my movie or get my money back because it wasn't refunded
I recently purchasd a used Macbook pro and tried to sync my iphone. It does not show up in itunes. How do I get it to show up in itunes so I can sync it?
