To manually add songs to your iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
2. Open the iTunes app on your computer. If it doesn’t open automatically, you can manually launch it from your applications or programs folder.
3. Once iTunes is open, you will see a navigation bar on the left side of the iTunes window. Click on the “Music” option under the “Library” section. This will display all the music in your iTunes library.
4. Now, navigate to the media you would like to add to your iPhone. You can do this by clicking on the various tabs within the iTunes window, such as “Songs,” “Albums,” or “Artists.” You can also use the search bar at the top right corner of the iTunes window to find specific songs or artists.
5. Once you have found the music you want to add, click and drag the song, album, or artist to the iPhone button under the “Devices” section in the left menu bar. The iPhone button will have the name of your iPhone next to it. You can also drag the music directly to your iPhone’s icon, which will appear in the top left corner of the iTunes window when your iPhone is connected.
6. Release the mouse button to start the syncing process. iTunes will then begin transferring the selected music to your iPhone. The progress of the transfer will be displayed at the top of the iTunes window.
7. After the transfer is complete, you can safely disconnect your iPhone from your computer. The newly added music will now be available on your iPhone’s Music app.
8. If you want to add more music or media to your iPhone, repeat steps 4 to 7 for each item you wish to add.
It’s worth mentioning that when manually adding music to your iPhone, you have control over the specific songs, albums, or artists you want to add. This can be useful if you only want to add certain songs from an album or if you prefer organizing your music manually.
Adding songs to your iPhone manually through iTunes gives you the flexibility to curate your music library exactly how you want it.
