May 06, 2019  Launch iTunes on your computer and then select File Add to Library. This lets you import your chosen music files and folders on your computer.

Adding new tunes to your iPhone or iPad from your Mac or PC can be a little tedious at times, especially if you want to add your entire library at once. If you want to have all your music locally stored on your iPhone or iPad, there's a little trick you can use to accomplish that. If you create a Smart Playlist in iTunes on Mac or PC, any devices connecting via iCloud Music Library will receive the option to download that playlist, and smart playlist can be 'live,' which means any new tracks you add will also push to all your connected devices.

How to download all your music at one time on your iPhone or iPad

  1. Launch iTunes on your Mac
  2. Click File in the top menu bar.

  3. Hover your cursor over New

  4. Click Smart Playlist

  5. Adjust the Smart Playlist Options to look exactly like the image below on the right. Check the box next to Match music for the following rules: and add the rule Time is greater than 00:00. Check the box next to Live updating.

  6. Click OK

  7. Type a name for your playlist.

  8. Launch Music on your iPhone or iPad.
  9. Tap Playlist.
  10. Tap the name of the smart playlist.

  11. Tap Cloud button to begin downloading all the tracks.

Depending on how many items you are trying to download to your iPhone this way, it could take a couple of minutes, a couple of hours, or even a couple of days. If you have a lot of tracks, your best bet is probably plugging in your iPhone or iPad overnight, and letting it download while you sleep.

Rather than carrying around a separate MP3 player or PMP, it's worth considering the iPhone as a music player so you can carry your iTunes library with you. If you've never synced music to your iPhone, follow this iTunes tutorial to see how simple it really is.

Setting Up iPhone Music Transfer

Before following this iPhone syncing tutorial, go through this simple checklist:

  • Keep iTunes up-to-date Ensure that you have the latest iTunes software version installed on your computer before plugging in your iPhone. iTunes should automatically check this when it is run, but you can also force an update check by clicking the Help menu and choosing Check for Updates (Mac: click the iTunes menu tab, followed by Check for Updates). Once you have made sure iTunes is up-to-date, close the program again.
  • Don't have iTunes installed? If not, you can download the latest version from the iTunes website.
  • Remember, iTunes only performs a one-way synchronization Keep in mind that iTunes only performs a one-way synchronization to your iPhone and not both ways. This means any songs found on your iPhone that aren't on your computer will be deleted.

Connecting the iPhone

Follow these steps to see how to connect the iPhone to your computer and select it in iTunes.

  1. Using the dock connector that came with your iPhone, plug it into your computer – this will most likely be the USB port.

  2. Run the iTunes software.

  3. In the upper left part of the iTunes window, click on the iPhone icon, just to the right of the media menu.

    You'll be able to see your iPhone in the left iTunes window pane, under the Devices section. You can select any of the media types if you expand the section with the little triangle.

The easiest way to transfer music to the iPhone is by using the automatic sync method:

  1. On the iTunes window now showing your device, click on the Music menu tab in the left pane.

  2. Ensure the check box next to the Sync Music option is enabled – click this check box if not.

  3. To enable the transfer of all your music, click the radio button next to the Entire music option.

  4. If you prefer to select only certain songs from your iTunes library, then you'll need to click the radio button next to Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. You can specify the playlists, artists, albums, and genres below - scroll down and click on the stuff you want to sync.

  5. Finally, to start automatically syncing music to your iPhone, click the Apply button to commence the transfer process.

Setting up Manual Transfer Mode

If you don't want iTunes to automatically transfer music to your iPhone, it's possible to configure the program for manual syncing. This method offers more control over what iTunes syncs to your iPhone. Before you can do this, you'll first need to switch from the default automatic mode. To see how this is done, follow these steps:

  1. Near the top of the main iTunes screen, click on the Summary button in the left panel.

  2. Click the check box next to the Manually manage music option to enable this mode. Finally click the Apply to save the settings.

Transferring Music Manually

Now that you have changed iTunes' sync mode to the manual transfer method, you can start selecting the songs and playlists you want to copy to the iPhone. Follow this quick tutorial to see how to select and drop music onto your iPhone:

  1. In the left iTunes window pane, locate the Library section. Underneath this, click on the Songs option. You can also select Albums, Artists or Genres, then click through to find songs and videos that match.

  2. You can now easily drag and drop songs from the main iTunes window to your iPhone via its icon (in the left pane under Devices). If you've got a lot of songs to manually transfer, then hold down the [CTRL] key (for Mac use the [command] key) and choose your songs – this will then enable you to drag the selected group of songs to your iPhone in one go.

  3. As an alternative to manually dragging songs to your iPhone, consider using iTunes playlists. These are easy to setup and will save you heaps of time when syncing. If you have previously created iTunes playlists that you want to sync to the iPhone, just drag and drop these in the same way onto the iPhone icon in the left pane.

After this step you may need to restore your iTunes library from a previous backup.
