The seemingly endless depths to which Apple goes to make something that should be "cut and paste" difficult is mindboggling. Have spent more time and effort than I would like to admit to figure this out. This is the first time someone has been able to show me how to do this successfully. Thank you, sir! I say again, thank you.
@@eagleeyemind4800 The whole itunes setup is designed to make you buy music from apple. Our household has both PC's and Apple devices. Apple is so overrated.
Because Apple is bullshit and Android rules. I had to trade in my LGV40 for this shitty iPhone because my carrier stopped supporting Android. My LGV40 is just collecting dust in the closet... :'(
Yours was the best tutorial. I just wasted hours trying to transfer my music to my iPhone. Came across dozens of videos and websites, but unlike the others, yours was clearly explained. Made the process seamlessly easy. Thank you. I applaud you for an excellent tutorial! Wow! You’re the best!
Apple products are Not Plug & Play, you cannot plug a USB and cut and paste etc, you have to go through their system, waste lots of time. If I’m a composer, I wouldn't trust their system before I get a proper copyright.
@Daniel Richardson yeah i totally agree. There are things apple really do best. I love both platform actually. And i totally understand why they do what they do.
You are a life saver! I'm a Windows & Android person. I "had" to purchase an iPhone 13 to learn it. I can stress enough how much your video has helped today, last couple of months. I come back to several of your video now and then. Keep up the great work!
This is an excellent video. However, there is one essential piece of information missing: when installing iTunes on a Windows PC for the first time, it doesn't automatically load the Windows Explorer Music folder into the iTunes library. Therefore, after installing iTunes, one must first click on the File item in the menu bar and then click on Add Folder to Library. One then has to choose the Windows Explorer Music folder. Once chosen it will scan the folder and invite one to convert any non-Apple format files to AAC. Depending on the size of one's Music folder, the number of files to be converted and the computer speed, this can take a long time!
You are the best. I went through many resources and you’re the first to mention about the default music folder and how to select another folder. You made my life so much easier. Thank you so much!
I second @obesebabyyum question. I am so mad because I pay for the imatch service and apple is not syncing my files to my phone... If I could just drag and drop them onto the phone this wouldn't be an issue. I don't want to buy a macbook just to manage my phone. This is so dumb. Oh and now iTunes is no longer a thing. SOOOO if your PC has iTunes on it DO NOT INSTALL APPLE MUSIC. It will destroy your iTunes software...
READ THIS COMMENT!! START VIDEO AT 2:44 WHEN YOU ARE IN SUMMARY CLICK THE FINAL BOX (Manually Manage music and vides) Then click the music for your device and simply drag and drop the songs onto your iphone!! This Whole video could have been 30 seconds!!
Well, it may have been a quick tutorial for you, Kevin, but it was life or death for me 😊😊😊. Beautifully, and simply explained.... and at a pace that an old chap like myself could keep pace with. Well done. Regards and thanks from sunny Spain.
Very informative! Thank you! I'm about to receive my first ever iPhone (the 12 pro max) and I was a bit scared about the whole music thing but after seeing this I'm calmer about the whole situation lol. Thanks so much!
This was such a help thank you! ♥️ I would have stayed confused and frustrated had it not been for this tutorial I was about to just record the music from the camera on my iPhone while it was playing on the computer haha keep up the good work you are helping a lot of people out!
FANTASTIC!!! Worked exactly as you described… I’ve spent hours and hours combined through webpages and UA-cam videos until I clicked on your video here. My songs are now on my phone. You’re my hero!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
3 years on, ios 17 at this point, i endlessly struggled to work out how to sync my music library, shamelessly all i needed to do was add folder to library option and i salute you sir, thankyou so much as it was making me stir crazy!
@@Ryryyhbj765 I spent over an hour with Apple trying different procedures and they came up with nothing. You can still edit, make and delete new and old playlists but you can't choose which ones to put on your phone when you sync.
Same here and I am beyond aggravated! I read if you toggle off the ICloud music library, you will lose all your music you have downloaded over the years. Geeez!
mine only says “manually manage videos”- i have apple music but wanted to add music which is unreleased/not on apple music but its working- it says it is “icloud music library enabled” and i cant seem to find a way to able it?
i spent at least 3 hours trying to do this but failed, so I checked your page listened and did it in 5 minutes lol thanks brv you are a legend and I'm the idiot ....
for everyone who is watching this clip. It does work even now on iOS 17.5.1 And Mister Stratvert, you are a hero for putting this very good and simple exlanation on how to do this. Stay Safe and thnx again. You gained a subscriber
@@korabimeri9506 I’m not sure I triple smchekced everything it just doesn’t appear on my phone but e see yo finding another solution by making a playlist and adding the mp3 to the playlist I could sync it with iCloud and with out having my phone connected at all I could get songs on it
It's effective for sure. But on android, you only need to copy the music to your phone storage(any file location) and that's it, your music is on your phone. No need to install an app on your computer and sync them. But this process isn't that much of a hassle so it's fine too.
@@mr.j5112 Yeah, I agree. I mostly meant the video provided all I needed to know in quick and simple fasion :) Apple tends to complicate simple processes, but then again, once you connect this setup, you can then transfer music using Wi-Fi which is quite handy. I think it would be way easier if I had an Apple computer, I believe iTunes comes as part of their system. The more you get into their ecosystem, the easier it gets, but the harder it gets to get out :)
it's ridiculous, all I had to do to move my mp3 songs over to my android was moving them to a cloud storage media like onedrive then download them straight from there.
It did that for me at first until I closed out of everything and went back into iTunes and then it showed my song and I could play it there and I went to the iPhone icon then music then checked the sync music checkbox and it recognized the song so maybe close out of everything and go back into iTunes as that worked for me?
Like the guy said, try to create another folder in another location (preferably the desktop) and then set iTunes to get music from that folder instead. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much! Your instructions were so simple to follow. Now I finally have my husband's playlist on my phone! (He has an incredible playlist that I was dying to get!) You are the best!
luckily i found this comment, but the PC for some reason won't recognize the music in the folder (when i open the folder in iTunes, none of the files show). is it due to them being mp3 files? do they need to be something else?
Thx man, this helped a lot. I lost all my songs and for some reason wasn't able to add any, but following these steps helped more than the 5+ hours looking at different articles and doing what they said. Thx again man, much love.
This was a very well structured and easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much! I was struggling for so long to figure out who you reminded me of and then I realized! You look so much like Bill Hader!
Hi, Very nice video, well done. If I may ask Kevin, I have an Itunes library on my Windows laptop of about 9500 songs and 60 playlists(About 40 GBS total) set up so far. I just received an iPhone XR and my question regards syncing such a large amount of songs. I saw on your video that you chose to sync all the songs at once, would you recommend this for my situation? I am not sure if doing such a large collection will overwhelm the computer or the iPhone. Thanks in advance Kevin..
Kevin, I have learned a lot from your vlogs. Wish you would do some on using word from my 365 account. I can’t get the full ribbon menu to show up and I can’t do envelopes. Please help us iPad pro 2020 users!
I don't think you can get the full ribbon in the native app on iPadOS. If you want to full functionality of desktop word you have to use the web version of Word
Thank you Kevin for this video. I was able to load my playlist from my iTunes account to my iPhone. I can now play my music, via Bluetooth, through my Goldwing motorcycle and have the volume and track advancement capabilities by using the bike's controls on the handlebar. The eliminates me having to pay for Apple Music to play my music on my bike's Apple Carplay option. This saves my about $12.00 a month. I'm a happy biker now!
For some reason, my itunes has completely changed when I try to do any of this with my phone. When I go to the music part, instead of "sync music" I just have "sync voice memos" And I am confusion. Just let me transfer some music. I appreciate how straight forward you are and easy to follow, but I think at this point I just need to go to the store. So annoying.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I’ve been trying to put my own recordings on my iPhone for so long and couldn’t figure it out! If I could like this video 1000 more times, I totally would!
Hey Kevin thanks a ton for this video! Got a question. Does this transfer procedure also transfers playlists as they were configured (named) on the PC and can be seen as playlists on the phone?
There is a very simple solution: *Don't buy a bloody iPhone, get yourself an Android,* you will never have this problem at all, just connect your phone to the computer with a *standard USB cable* and drag-and-drop *any file* you want. Or you can sent them via *Bluetooth,* if you wish.
@Green Eyed Bali Bule That's your choice. You can get any app for your Android from the App store, many of them are free. But I just want to repeat: you can connect the Android phone to the computer with standard USB cable, and the phone will become just one more drive of your computer. You can drag-and-drop any files from and to the phone. You can connect another phone and transfer any file through. You can send files between the phones and from any phone to any computer via Bluetooth, just pair them. Can you do this with iPhone? And the answer is NO.
Thank you for the video...Unfortunately for old guys like me...I trusted Apple they put me on chat, sent a link to your video then hung up!. So I followed everything you suggested and hope it works. If it it doesn't is there a way for me to pay you to help me? I have a lot of old music on my PC that I want to transfer to my my Apple iphone 13 Pro Max and I am very Lost...
You lost me there when you said I need to install iTunes. Using iTunes to do something as simple as this is like killing a fly with a jackhammer. Besides, Apple has already discontinued this abomination on the Mac in favor of integrating the interface with iOS into its Finder because its trying unify the codes for all of its OSes. Microsoft should release something of the same like a native program baked into Windows to handle such simple tasks for iOS and iPadOS like what it is doing with Windows Subsystem for Linux.
This was actually PERFECT. Thank you so much I just thought this wasn’t possible anymore on iPhone for the longest time and didn’t want to get any paid apps for this haha. You’re the best! New sub for sure :)
Thank you Kevin-I spent hours trying to add a music file my computer to my iPhone . I wish I had seen this first as you made it an easy fix. Thanks for the clarity!
@@JustRobertCZE Yes...Google phone...where you're forced to buy a new phone every two years because they stop supporting your device. Android sucks just as bad as iOS.
Thank you for this video, really helped me and now I have my big amount of music from my laptop on my new IPhone so I don’t have to use my data no more 👌👌👌
thank you for simplifying the process , literally took 5 min :) , all thou i had to look up other videos how to fix existing iTunes in my file folder on PC., im happy to have my music as i have huge library off songs over 50Gb :)

Great guide :) It's just absurd that we have to go through all these steps, just to move a file from one device to another.
There is a very simple solution:
*Don't buy a bloody iPhone, get yourself an Android,* you will never have this problem at all, just connect your phone to the computer with a *standard USB cable* and drag-and-drop *any file* you want.
Or you can sent them via *Bluetooth,* if you wish.
@Green Eyed Bali Bule
That's your choice.
You can get any app for your Android from the App store, many of them are free. But I just want to repeat: you can connect the Android phone to the computer with standard USB cable, and the phone will become just one more drive of your computer. You can drag-and-drop any files from and to the phone. You can connect another phone and transfer any file through. You can send files between the phones and from any phone to any computer via Bluetooth, just pair them.
Can you do this with iPhone?
And the answer is NO.
