When I first transferred mp3 songs from itunes to iPhone, I found all of them in iPhone. But when I tried to transfer more songs in iPhone, I can only see the newly transferred songs and not the old ones. Does anyone know where exactly I should look for them? Am i missing something? Ya, the transfer was successful in all the cases.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you transferring the songs manually or are you syncing with your library? So the problem is, you checked your music library in iPod>Songs in your iPhone and it's not there?

I'm transferring manually using itunes. Yes, I checked music library and the new songs replace the old ones. Where should I look for old songs? OR Is there something else I should do?

This is how I transfer.......Create a new playlist "mp3" and manually drag songs from Library>Music to "mp3". In "mp3" playlist, check all the songs I want to transfer. At last, click on iPhone, select Music tab and select playlist "mp3" and select sync/apply.

I appreciate your suggestions.

okay from my years of using itunes, i find that as perfect itunes may look superficially, it can be very dodgy at times.



incomplete installation/corrupted database etc are some of the most frequently encountered problems.




my advice? dl the latest itunes, uninstall the later version and see how it goes.




do let me know how it goes, alright? if it still fails, i will try to suggest another method.




good luck!

i do not see anything particular wrong with your method to be honest.

You're using an unorthodox method but it doesn't seem to be wrong.

If I'm not wrong, your method is:

1) Create a "mp3" playlist on your computer's music library

2) Create a "mp3" playlist on your iPhone

3) Sync

Correct?


Here's an easier way that I use to transfer music though:

1) Turn on iTunes. Under the iPod/iPhone subsection, you should see a "Manually manage songs and videos" box. Check that box.

2) You can now drag and drop music and video files to your iPod/iPhone library without syncing with your library by simply dragging the file and positioning it over the iPod/iPhone heading. There should be a blue highlight over the heading. Release the file.


If you want to create playlists later, just create it under your iPhone section.


Try it out and let me know how it works for you..

Or else, try use iphone pc suite.... you can manage files like browsing on windows environment... nomore deleted files... it convert your files for the use of iphone, for instance, ringtones which need to be .m4r format....

But yah, im out of the topic which u are asking for an itunes and not pc suite.... this is just a recomendation....
