Adding music to the iPhone
I know this seems very simple, and I've had an iPhone for almost a year now. I should have learned how to do it long before now. But how do you add music to the iPhone? Not music you want to buy from iTunes, but music that is already in your collection on your computer. Someone has added some on my phone, and it is difficult to navigate through it. Would like some tips on that as well please. Thanks. Chasity -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Adding music to the iPhone
Hello, Chasity, Firstly, I know how confusing this can be. My first experiences with iTunes were rather frustrating at best. I can write up instructions for you--but if you need further help, feel free to write me off-list and we can exchange Skype contact info. Secondly, what iTunes version are you running? This will make a bit of difference in the steps you will need to take in order to add music to your iPhone. I will assume that you already have music added to iTunes, as you mentioned that someone has already added music to your iPhone. If running iTunes 10 or lower: 1. Locate the music entry in the treeview which is labeled Sources tree view. It will be the first item. 2. Tab until you reach items of your music library. This may consist of an area of the window which looks like a table. 3. You'll want to press alt-V here to reach the view menu. Press down arrow until you reach the column browser option. It may not be visible as of yet. If not, the option will probably be called Show column browser. Press enter on this. 4. Enter the View menu again, and press right-arrow when you reach the menu item called Column browser sub menu. This menu lets you make iTunes treat each option on which you press enter as it's own list. So, if you press enter on Artists, iTunes will display all your artists in one list. Press enter on Albums, and you'll not only have a list of artists, but also a list of albums. The cool thing here is that once you highlight an entry in the list of artists, the Albums list will change to only show albums by that particular artist. There are other options in this Column browser menu which you can check or uncheck as you wish. I have Artists and Albums checked. 5. There are a couple of ways to sync your library to your iPhone. The way I prefer, and what a lot of people choose to do, is to use the Sync selected playlists, albums, artists, and genres option. This lets you check checkboxes next to items and have them sync. In particular, I'm a huge fan of playlists, because they let you put a more personal touch on whatever you're syncing. You'll find this option in the Summary tab (most screen readers call these buttons), of your device. 6. To get to your device, make sure that it's plugged into your computer. Then, navigate to the Sources treeview. Press down-arrow until you reach your device. Press tab until you reach the Summary radio button, and press space to check it. Note: You must tab through these radio buttons--you can't arrow through them. 7. Somewhere on this screen is the option to Sync selected playlists, albums, artists, and genres. It's a radio button, so press space to check it. You should proceed to the Okay or Apply changes button and press it. Now, for making a playlist. 1. You first need to create the playlist. Press Ctrl-N and type the name for your playlist. 2. iTunes will drop you into the list for the tracks list of the playlist, which is empty. Navigate back to the Sources treeview, and press the home key to reach the top item, which is Music. 3. Press tab until you reach the lists of artists. Change the selection until you find the one you want. Move to the list of albums with the tab key, then select the one you want. Next, move to the list of songs, and select the one you want. You can also select more than one track by holding down the shift key and pressing the down arrow. 4. Hit the applications key on your keyboard, or, alternatively, press Shift-F10. This will bring up a menu. Press up-arrow until you reach the Add to playlist sub menu. Hit right-arrow to open it, then press up or down-arrow to reach the desired playlist. Once reached, press enter on it. Your tracks will be added, and you will be back in the list of tracks of your music library. Continue adding songs until you are satisfied. 5. Once you are through, navigate to your iPhone's entry in the Sources treeview. You'll notice that it can be opened, but do not do so. Once you reach the entry, just press tab until you reach the Music radio button, and check it by pressing space. 6. Now, press tab until you reach something that says something about playlists. I can't remember exactly what it's called. When you reach it, press the down-arrow until you reach the playlist you've just created, and press space to check it's checkbox. 7. Press tab until you reach the Apply changes button, and press it. It may take a while to sync everything to your iPhone, but be patient. You can check on the progress of things by pressing shift-tab for a bit until you reach something titled LCD section. There will be a few of these so-called LCD sections. One of them will tell you the progress of the sync. If running iTunes 11 or higher: Things are pretty much the same, except that you need to enable what Apple is now calling the Sidebar. Do so by pressing Ctrl-S when you first open iTunes. Also, after enabling the Column browser, you'll need to press space on the Songs radio button when in the main Music section

Re: Adding Music to the iPhone
Hi Beverley, You can copy music manually or sync. To sync, connect your phone and find it in the iTunes source list. Tab through the radio buttons and choose Music. Then tab until you reach the Music section of the dialog box. If you want to sync, check Sync Music. Then you'll probably want to check the box for selected playlists, artists, and albums. Then move through the tables listing playlists, artists, etc., and check the ones you want. Tab to Apply, and press Enter.
