iTunes is a fantastic service provided by Apple, also a problematic one. We sometimes (may be often) meet with the “iOS Devices cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to” problem, or the iTunes just cannot recognize the devices, sometimes iTunes even won’t open. For example, when we are about to transfer music to iPhone or iPod, but the iTunes won’t open, that will be really frustrating.

Connect and Check Left Space

When you start running the software, it will tell you “It’s now safe to connect your i-devices.” Connect your iPhone to computer, and the software will scan your iPhone. All your iPhone files will show in the software window after the software’s scanning, and you can check out how much space is left in your iPhone.

Add Files

Two ways are available for you to add files. One way is that directly drag/drop the music files into the software window, then the transfer will begin; the other is that click File > Add > Add Files/Add Folder to add the music files. If you have a lot of music files or your music files are in one folder, I suggest you use the second way to save time on adding files.

Finish Transfer

After you click “Yes” when you have chosen the music files, the transfer will begin. The transfer dialog comes out to notice you the transfer process with a progress bar, and the chosen files’ names will be shown one by one when the transfer is going on. Please do not connect your iPhone when the transfer is on the run. When the transfer finishes, the music files will show in your music library, and also in your iPhone.
