I'm not able to transfer music from itunes to iphone since switching from a mac to pc, what can I do?

I have a 16gb iphone 4 but around 60gb of music. When i owned a mac laptop, i was able to go into itunes and select and remove which albums i wanted on my iphone. Since switching to a pc with windows 8, when i go into itunes, the albums i have on my pc are all listed, but next to them where there are usually ticks to show which albums are in the iphone, they are all completely blank. It does show volume makeup of the iphone - ie music/apps/pictures storage space - and i have been able to transfer one album across, but only because it said there was only enough space for that album. If i tried to move any more over, it says there is no space. So it recognizes that there is music on there, but it wont let me edit the music that is on the iphone.

I assume you downloaded the latest iTunes to PC then signed into your Apple ID to backup the iphone first.otherwise the library that's on the computer will not identify correctly with the iphone.if your new computer does not have all those songs on the hdd like the Mac you can try copying them over album by album but it takes ages.one work around is to download a small program called ifunbox....it's free and is much better at transferring stuff to and from iPhones.also easy to move files videos pictures that way.

Testimonial: "Thanks for taking the time to help me John. I have downloaded ifunbox, but i cannot find where i can remove music from my iphone, and also where to add music to it. The only area i can see options to work with music is in the Quick Toolbox. And when you choose Export files and data, there is no option to choose from the iphone itself. How do you remove music from your iphone with this tool please?"

    In the left hand column scroll to music and try to look in each sub folder for the library or data.you need to have iTunes installed and running in the background.if you are still stuck by tomorrow comment back and I will give you the exact path to locate the libraries for you music.sorry but I have just come in from work and am not going to put myself in front of the computer tonight.

    Hi John, by the left hand column i presume you mean the File Browser and folder view? This is where you see camera photos, apps and general usage listed? Well there is no music folder listed in this section, maybe this is my problem?

How do I get my unlocked iphone to download music from my computer to the iphone.

when you said "transfer music from my computer", did you mean you wanna transfer songs saved in your desktop music folder or from your itunes music library in your computer?.. well anyways, if its from your itunes library, you only need to "sync" it with your iphone.i know thats pretty basic but just in case, you can follow this simple and easy step http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/ss/syncing_iphone.htm ..But if you are talking about transferring music from your desktop music library (not itunes) into ur iphone, you will need to download a software called "DiskAid" (here's a link for you http://www.digidna.net/products/diskaid/download-this software allows you to transfer multimedia from your computer to your iphone (photos, videos, or songs) .. hope this helps.
