How to Play iPhone Tunes
- 1). Turn on your iPhone.
- 2). Sync your iPhone to your computer's iTunes account. This sync will let you transfer iTunes songs from your computer to your iPhone.
Plug the 30-pin dock connector/USB syncing cable that shipped with your iPhone into the docking slot on the base of the iPhone. Connect the other end of the dock connector/USB syncing cable into the USB port on your computer. This is the end that has a smaller plug that bears a USB symbol. Upon connecting the iPhone to your computer, iTunes should automatically launch. - 3). Launch iTunes manually from your PC or Mac if it does not auto-launch. On Windows, find the program in the "Start" menu. On a Mac, click on the default iTunes icon located on the dock on the bottom or side of your desktop area.
- 4). Allow your iPhone and iTunes to sync. While you are usually prompted automatically to allow this, you can also manually create the sync by clicking on your iPhone's listing on the "Devices" part of the left iTunes sidebar, then clicking on the "Sync" button located on the bottom right portion of the main iTunes window.
- 5). Wait for the sync to finish. A sync window appears at the top of the iTunes main window that gives you updates, a progress indicator, and informs you when the entire process is complete. Do not unplug your iPhone at any point during this process.
- 6). Click on the "Eject" button beside the iPhone listing under "Devices" within iTunes to properly remove your device. This will prevent any corruption of your song library. The "Eject" button is circular with an upwards arrow.
- 7). Disconnect your iPhone from the syncing cable.
- 8). Tap the square orange "iPod" icon on the home screen of your iPhone. By default, this icon is at the bottom right of the homescreen. This will launch your iPhone's song library.
- 9). Tap on "Artists" or "Songs" to sort your library accordingly. These buttons are at the bottom left of the song library screen on your iPhone, beside the default selected "Playlists" button, which sorts your music by available playlists.
