Re: Music on iPhone

[Stephen Chape]

Thank you Ronni.
I have carried out those instructions and all seems well now.
PS: Is it just me getting older or is Apple making things less intuitive as 
time passes ?
Even my Step son in Dubai has told me that sometimes he feels like he is back 
using Windows in the bad old days !

1.  In iTunes on your computer, go to the iPhone Music tab and uncheck "Sync 
Music".  
2. Then do your sync.  
3. If there are any remaining songs on the iPhone after the sync, delete them.  
4. Then recheck "Sync Music" and sync again, which will force all the music 
that is checked to be reloaded onto the iPhone.
—— 
Does your wife have her iPhone sync set as below?
1. Select the iPhone, click Music in the sidebar, and then select the “Sync 
Music” checkbox, you can then select a radio button to sync your “Entire music 
library” or “Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres”
Select “Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genes"

2. Check the playlists or artists you want to sync.

Re: Music on iPhone

[Stephen Chape]

Hi Ronni,
Sorry this took so long.

It turned out that once I unchecked “only sync checked files” in the iPhone 
screen in iTunes on the Mac everything was fine.
I had not realised that in iTunes on the Mac some files were checked and others 
not checked.
To sync music I check the individual artists I want in the iPhone info screen 
in iTunes on the Mac, so only the selected files will sync.
So that works fine now.

Now I have an issue with Music on my wife’s iPhone 5.
To begin with her file selections were the same as for my iPhone 6s.
However yesterday she decided she wanted to add some artists and delete some 
artists.
So we plugged her iPhone into the Mac and made the selection changes.

When her phone was then synced with the Mac, the additional artists were added 
to her Music.
But the artists we deleted remained in Music on her phone.
I had to go through them on her phone deleting each individual one.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated please so I can stop a repeat of this ?

Re: Music on iPhone

[Stephen Chape]

Thank you for that input Ronni.
I will have to do another check through my music files.
Have not had a good look since I checked the unchecked files.

Hi Stephen,

What format & compression are the music tracks that you are unable to sync?
Are they AAC or MP3 or ?
Do you have enough space on your iPhone to hold all the music you have selected 
to sync?

If you ripped your CDs as WAV, AIFF, or Apple Lossless files, which take up a 
lot of space, you may want to change to AAC or MP3 files.

Double check if the songs on your iTunes library have same folder location as 
before. 
Sometimes iTunes does not indicate which songs it cannot find until you select 
them. 
Songs in your library that iTunes can't locate, won't be synced to your iPhone.

Cheers,
Ronni

Fwd: Music on iPhone

[Stephen Chape]

Sorry folks,
I forgot to mention that I sync my iPhone with my iMac via USB (for music and 
videos).
Also I have since discovered that I had not “checked” some of those files in 
iTunes.
I had previously chosen to only sync “checked” files.

However some files still do not sync, even though I have chosen to sync those 
artists.

Music on iPhone

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

I have been wondering why some of my music does not appear on my iPhone when I 
sync.
Just realised that only Purchased AAC Audio Files will sync.

Files such as AAC Audio and MPEG Audio do NOT sync.
Some of these (I don’t know which I have imported to iTunes from my CD’s.

Does this mean that music I have purchased on CD’s and then imported to iTunes 
I can never play on my iPhone ?

Stephen Chape

Re: transfer non cloud eligible music to iPhone

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Ronni,
Step 4 is a problem…

’s iPhone can access your iCloud Music Library. Songs can be downloaded and 
played via WiFi or a mobile network.

so, my only ‘Music' option is sync voice memos.

No other music option are given.

Do I need to disable iCloud Music somehow, first?
Brian

4. Then in the Sidebar click Music and in the Sync Music - check 'Selected 
playlists, artists, albums, and genres


4. Select/ tick the New Playlist that you want on the iPhone

Hi Brian,

In iTunes - File  'Add to Library' and add the music tracks to the iTunes 
Library.
Then in iTunes create a New Playlist and add the tracks you want to transfer.

1. Open iTunes and select the tracks
2. File  New - 'Playlist from selection'
3. Connect your iPhone to iTunes via USB cable, then select iPhone in the 
navigation bar
4. Then in the Sidebar click Music and in the Sync Music - check 'Selected 
playlists, artists, albums, and genres
4. Select/ tick the New Playlist that you want on the iPhone
5.Click 'Sync'

When you sync an iOS device with your iTunes Library, you can tell it what 
content to transfer in two ways that are manual and in one way that is 
automatic.
The two manual options appear on the Summary pane, a little way down in the 
Options section.
Sync only checked songs and videos - if you've selected this box, iTunes will 
copy only those items whose little checkboxes are checked.
Manually manage music and videos - this method is time consuming but may be a 
good choice if you don't want to worry about syncing automatically and prefer 
just to drag what you want to your device.
If you select this option, then music and videos will copy to your iOS device 
ONLY if you drag them to its list of contents.
To add items:
1. Use the Devices button in the Navigation bar to select your device. In the 
'On My Device' section in the sidebar, you see a list of the libraries and 
playlists on the device.

2. Click a Library listed under 'On My Device' and then click the 'Add To' 
button near the top-right of the window. iTunes switches the window around, 
showing your iTunes Library content at the left and the contents of your device 
at the right.
Notice the name of the device below the right-hand list, along with the amount 
of free space available.

3. Drag any items from the left to the right-hand list
4. When you've finished adding content, click Done

To delete items:
1. With the device selected in the navigation bar, in the 'On My Device' 
section of the sidebar, click a Library.
2. Select any files you want to remove. You can even select all files in a 
category.
3. Press the Delete key.

Note: There's one downside to manual syncing : play counts and last played 
dates don't get synced back to your Mac. So you won't be able to use this 
metadata to generate smart playlists.

Automatic Syncing lets you choose from a number of ways to sync content.
If you choose a device, click 'Music' in the sidebar, and then select the 'Sync 
Music' checkbox (located near the upper left), you can then select a radio 
button to sync your Entire music library, or Selected playlists, artists, 
albums, and genres

Then you can make your sync selections in Podcasts  - Books etc.

Cheers,
Ronni

 iTunes should not automatically open and play music files when a Thumb Drive

 You don't have to Import the music files into iTunes.
 And if you don't want iTunes to play the music files that are on the Thumb

 1. Select each music file on the Thumb Drive

Re: transfer non cloud eligible music to iPhone

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Brian,

I didn't think you would have turned on iCloud Music Library.
I don't use iCloud Music Library or iTunes Match library!
In iTunes, I backup to my computer, and sync what music  media files to my 
iPhone  iPad exactly the way I want to...

NOTE: If you have turned on iCloud Music Library on your iOS device, you can't 
sync music from iTunes. iCloud Music Library replaces syncing, allowing you to 
download content from the cloud.

I don't let iTunes Match my music as I have most of my music in AIFF  Apple 
Lossless format. All my imported music from CDs are imported in AIFF format.

If you use iTunes Match, you must turn on iCloud Music Library in order to 
access your matched music.

Have a read here to understand what happens if you turn off iCloud Music 
Library.

Re: transfer non cloud eligible music to iPhone

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Brian,

You didn't mention if you had also tried the Manual way I mentioned in my first 
reply?
---
Manually manage music and videos - this method is time consuming but may be a 
good choice if you don't want to worry about syncing automatically and prefer 
just to drag what you want to your device.
If you select this option, then music and videos will copy to your iOS device 
ONLY if you drag them to its list of contents.

To add items:
1. Use the Devices button in the Navigation bar to select your device. In the 
'On My Device' section in the sidebar, you see a list of the libraries and 
playlists on the device.

2. Click a Library listed under 'On My Device' (in this case - Music) and then 
click the 'Add To' (or Edit) button near the top-right of the window. iTunes 
switches the window around, showing your iTunes Library content at the left and 
the contents of your device at the right.
Notice the name of the device below the right-hand list, along with the amount 
of free space available.

3. Drag any items from the left to the right-hand list
4. When you've finished adding content, click Done

To delete items:
1. With the device selected in the navigation bar, in the 'On My Device' 
section of the sidebar, click a Library.

 Hi Brian,
 
 I didn't think you would have turned on iCloud Music Library.
 I don't use iCloud Music Library or iTunes Match library!
 In iTunes, I backup to my computer, and sync what music  media files to my 
 iPhone  iPad exactly the way I want to...
 
 NOTE: If you have turned on iCloud Music Library on your iOS device, you 
 can't sync music from iTunes. iCloud Music Library replaces syncing, allowing 
 you to download content from the cloud.
 
 I don't let iTunes Match my music as I have most of my music in AIFF  Apple 
 Lossless format. All my imported music from CDs are imported in AIFF format.
 
 If you use iTunes Match, you must turn on iCloud Music Library in order to 
 access your matched music.
 
 Have a read here to understand what happens if you turn off iCloud Music 
 Library.

 Hi Ronni,
 Step 4 is a problem…
 
 ’s iPhone can access your iCloud Music Library. Songs can be downloaded and 
 played via WiFi or a mobile network.
 
 so, my only ‘Music' option is sync voice memos.
 
 No other music option are given.
 
 Do I need to disable iCloud Music somehow, first?

Re: transfer non cloud eligible music to iPhone

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Michael,

iTunes should not automatically open and play music files when a Thumb Drive is 
inserted into your Mac!
You don't have to Import the music files into iTunes.
And if you don't want iTunes to play the music files that are on the Thumb 
Drive.

1. Select each music file on the Thumb Drive
2. Go to File  Open With - and select QuickTime Player.app from the Dropdown 
Menu.
