Hi Candy, If your song is already in iTunes, do this:
1. Hook your iPhone up to the computer with the cable. 2. Wait a moment and then find your iPhone in the source list. If you use Windows use the F6 key to find the source list or side bar as it is also called. Here you have your Music, Books, Apps etc. If your phone is connected you should have "Devices" and underneath that your phone will show up. 3. Once you are on your phone, tab until you hear "Music, radio button, not checked". Press the space bar to check it. 4. Now tab again until you get to where it says "Sync Music, make sure that is checked. Also make sure you sync only selected music if you don't want to end up with your entire collection on your phone which depending on how big your collection is and how much capacity your phone has may not fit. 5. Tab again until you get into a list view of artists and select the artists you want to sync. There is no list view of albums or individual songs, only playlists or artists. If you want to sync just 2 or 3 particular songs you would have to make a playlist with these songs first, e.g. call it "Wedding Songs" and then find that playlist in the playlist list view, check it and tab until you get to "Apply". Making a playlist is easy. 1. in iTunes go to the File menu, select "New" and "New Playlist or just press Control+N. 2. Name your playlist and press OK. 3. Go to your songs list, if you are using iTunes 11 make sure you have "Songs" checked and not "Albums" or "Artists". 4. Find the first song you want in the playlist, right click on it or press the Application Key or Shift+F10, they all do the same thing which is to bring up the Context menu. 5. Press the latter "a" twice or arrow down to "Add to Playlist". This is a submenu, right arrow to expand, then arrow to your playlist, e.g. Wedding Songs, and press enter. 6. Repeat this for all songs you want to add. 7. You can review your playlist by going to the side bar/source list and find it under Playlists, then press F6 until you get into the list view of songs. 8. Now you can go back to your device, check that playlist and sync it. If you add songs to it or remove songs from it down the road and sync again the changes will be synced to your phone. Hope this helps, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Candy Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2012 7:50 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: taking music from a thumb drive and transferring to my iPhone Ming, the drop box worked fine. I would like to be able to get the song into my phone if possible, only because I would be able to listen to it at all times without using data. Correct? I have the song in iTunes, but can't get it transferred to the phone. It won't be the end of the world if we can't do it, because it is in my drop box, and that works perfectly. Thanks for all of your wonderful help. I am just so unfamiliar with iTunes. ------------------------------ On Sat, Dec 29, 2012 11:36 PM CST Ming wrote: >Do you have Dropbox? >If so you can put it in Dropbox and you can playboy as well. > >Ming >Skype: chungchiming9950 > > >Candy <crlowesi...@yahoo.com> 於 2012年12月30日 下午12:58 寫道： > >> >> Hello everyone, >> I am playing at a wedding and there are a couple of songs that I have to learn.
