Eek! It didn't ask me to do that. I had very little on my iphone to begin with. They're still there, under "Purchased" as though it were a separate playlist. Funny.
This is an excellent no-nonsense tutorial for transferring music from my MacBook to my iPhone. I can now access my entire library and not just songs purchased from iTunes. Thank you.
Using Finder, when I click "music" the window that opens up says "my iPhone is using Cloud Music Library", not what you see. It must be a default setting?
I've been killing myself trying to transfer music. Never thought it would be a Finder process. THANK YOU. Apple really makes it difficult. You make it easy!!
Hi Daniel, could you pls help me with the following: I have some music locally stored on my MacBook and I want to transfer them to my Library and then to my Ipod Nano (6th or 7th generation....). I used to drag and drop the songs but this doesn't work anymore. It's driving me crazy!! I have watched many tutorials (incl yours :-)) but none of them helped.
firstly, try opening "some music locally stored on my MacBook" with iTunes and press Autofill at the bottom of iTunes, as a kickstart and then do the whole thing as explained in video
I had to watch the video 3 times, (sorry I am old) I follow the steps closely, and when I click the music tub and I have selected artists,albuns etc. on the window below Search Artists shows nothing (I have two albums, I try to check all the suggestions you have made and can't get the music on my iPhone 8 from MacBook Pro with Catalina.....ugh! I must miss a setting? thanks it was very easy video the defective is me.
I have a PC, and not sure if it's because it's a new itunes version but the options after time point 4:00 are very different, so this is not useful to me unfortunately.
I don’t understand why you have iTunes. I thought the new stupid music app took over iTunes. I only have the music app. And there is no iTunes app on the App Store,. I can’t send music I added myself to my other devices on the music app
@@ImDezi connect your phone to your Mac then you see music up left top on your Mac, you click on that then click on preferences and you’ll see general when it pop up. You go down and you would see (show iTunes). You click on that then you see iTunes pop up in the Apple Music app. I don’t know if my comment going to make sense because I type like a crack head but I hope it work out for you
I just watch this video on how to transfer music and it was great! However, mine seems to be stuck and says syncing step four of four waiting for changes to be applied
I have some music that I purchased in the past under my other Apple ID. I cannot transfer this files to my iPhone :( Can you help? The music files show in my Library but they are gray and cannot be transferred/synced in any way. What can I do to make it work, please?
Hi, I am a UK viewer of your video. I followed your instructions directly and nothing like the sequence you mentioned followed on my iMac?? (2019) on Mojave,with iPhone 12 Pro Max
Hello Daniel. Does this video also apply to an iPod? I have 2 gen 5 iPods I need to wipe the old songs off and start loading new songs onto. I have Big Sur and have never had a Mac before. Please, any help is appreciated.
All the songs contained in my playlists do not copy onto my iPhone 12. Computer says I have 500 songs on a playlist, when I sync only 200 come over (for example).
I’ve been trying to add music that I have saved onto my Mac and frag it into Music apple. I used to be able to do it and now when I try the songs won’t add to music apple. not sure what changed. Is anyone else having this same issue?
When I click on the phone icon in itunes, a window opens that says Welcome to your new iphone and it askes me to backup or restore. I don't want to do either. I just want to download my itunes to my phone. If I cancel out the phone icon goes away. What do I do?
Can you just copy and paste folders with music files from your computer to your iPhone drive when plugged into the computer? All I had to do with my Android was copy the "Classical" folder, for example, which had all my classical music files, then paste on the cell phone's drive. Then I used DoubleTwist to search the folder and all the music was there, organized according to how I organized the music file properties.
Looks super simple but after connecting my iphone it is only charging. It is NOT showing up anywhere on my mac. I don't understand why it isn't. I have Monterey
Good video, but if you deselect the songs or playlist from your Computer they disappear from the playlist on the iPhone. What gives.Pre iTunes 12.-....kept your playlist after transfer.
I am deleting 1000's of duplicates on music app on my mac. When I sync it to the phone does it remove all songs on phone and only leave what is on my Mac now?
airdropped a couple songs from my MacBook Pro not using iTunes. I accepted it on my iPhone but, I don't know where it went? I want to drop it into a music folder on my iPhone but, don't know how to do that as well? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for your video. Do you by any chance know if is there a way to transfer an audio file (not necessarily music) from an iPhone to a Mac computer without using iTunes?
Yes, but if the songs weren't downloaded with cover art they won't show up, so they can't be synced. I have older songs which i wasn't able to download with cover arts, like the newer songs. So all the songs that don't have cover art, did not show up whenever i clicked sync.
What happens if you deleted you iPhone and easer everything and gave you the last backup from 2020 but your Mac has it from 2021 how do I get it off my Mac to my iPhone to be back to my 2021 back up
Hi Daniel, I just moved from my old Mac running Mavericks to a new Mac running Catalina, so your video was helpful. Transferring via the Finder window and selecting the Albums tab only shows the Album name to select. If you have several albums with the same name (e.g. Greatest Hits), that isn’t very helpful! Is there a way to also get the Artist name to display in this tab? I find the way I used to do it in iTunes still works in the Music app: your phone displays in the sidebar, and if you select the Albums tab under Library, you can just drag the picture of your selected Album onto your phone in the sidebar.
I've done this but it still doesn't show my music from Apple Music. I have family sharing on, but I just don't see the music from Apple Music. I just want the all my music from my iPhone to my Mac but nothing has worked for me😩. I air dropped my playlists which worked but I don't wanna have to do that to every song I have downloaded on my iPhone.
Dude completely skipped over the fact if you download from store/iTunes on iPhone you cant transfer unless you disable icloud sharing aka erasing any song you downloaded offline!
Didn't do anything for me. Iphone connected and recognized, followed the prompts and nothing . . . I'm thinking that there are so many problems with iTunes that that must be the root issue here.
Nope. I get a warning that says “Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, and books from this iPhone and sync with this library?” No I do not, because I already have music on my phone and some songs are on my desktop and I don’t want to lose them. When I check manually sink, everything else is grayed out.
Awesome video! Worked perfectly. Not intantaneous for me - took a few minutes - but my phone & laptop are a little old. The key was showing the location of that teeny tiny iphone icon. Apples instructions suck hah.
And what about you already have songs stored in your iphone? It asks to remove it while syncing
Eek! It didn't ask me to do that. I had very little on my iphone to begin with. They're still there, under "Purchased" as though it were a separate playlist. Funny.
how ridiculous that i need to watch a tutorial to know how to transfer music to my phone...damn you apple
Hey it’s been 3 years
Are you still using iPhone?
You left something out. How do you create a playlist so you can transfer only the music you want?
I think you need to do that in itunes but im just guessing. thats how i did it
Eversince the recent iOS update, Cloud Music Library is impossible to turn off now..
This is an excellent no-nonsense tutorial for transferring music from my MacBook to my iPhone. I can now access my entire library and not just songs purchased from iTunes. Thank you.
Thanks Daniel! What happens when after plugging in your phone it doesn't show up on your computer?
@@TaylorSwiftLyricsVEVO you just need to use a data transferable cable

Nooooo you said free how do you get the music? Did you BUY on iTunes first?
Why dont you show how to do that with airdrop?
Wow so amazing and easy, Thank you brother
you can't use this method if you have you Apple Music library synced
