1Connect iPhone to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.

3Click Summary at the top of the screen and select “Manually manage music and videos.”

4Click Apply.

Add items to iPhone: Drag a song, video, podcast, or playlist in your iTunes library to iPhone (in the sidebar). Shift-click or Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) to select multiple items to add at the same time.

iTunes syncs the content immediately. If you deselect “Manually manage music and videos,” the content you added manually is removed from iPhone the next time iTunes syncs content.
