Loading songs onto an iTunes-enabled phone
You can load the following from your iTunes library on your computer onto your iTunes-enabled mobile phone:
- Songs and playlists
- Podcasts formatted as MP3 or AAC files
- Audiobooks
You can autofill your phone with items from your library or a playlist. You can also load items onto your phone manually, in addition to or instead of autofilling it.
To load your iTunes-enabled phone:
- Connect your mobile phone to your computer and then open iTunes.
- Do one or more of the following:
- To load items manually, drag items from iTunes to the phone icon in the iTunes window. If you are going to autofill your phone too, deselect "Replace all items when autofilling." (If the checkbox is selected when you click Autofill, items you dragged to your phone are replaced.)
- To load items automatically from your library or a playlist, choose an item from the "Autofill from" pop-up menu. When you're ready to automatically load your phone, click Autofill.
- To have iTunes load items randomly from the source you selected (instead of sequentially), select "Choose items randomly." When you're ready to automatically load your phone, click Autofill.
Items you delete from your mobile phone manually or by clicking Autofill are also deleted from playlists in which they appeared on the mobile phone.
If you connect your mobile phone to another computer or log in to another user account on the same computer and load items, the items already on your mobile phone are deleted.
You can't copy songs from a mobile phone to iTunes.
