Why can't I transfer songs from iTunes to my iPhone? Ensure your iPhone is connected via USB or Wi-Fi to your computer. Check that iTunes is updated to the latest version. Verify that you’ve authorized your computer to access your Apple ID. Make sure Sync Music is enabled in the device's summary tab. If using Apple Music, iCloud Music Library might be preventing direct transfers; disabling it temporarily could solve the issue.
