  • I can't add songs to playlists

    For some reason I can't add songs to a playlist, whether it's by the new drag & drop feature or even right click & add to playlists.  Song's just aren't being added.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    A Smart Playlist has this icon in iTunes 11:

  • Can't add songs to playlists in iTunes 9

    Is anyone else having this problem in iTunes 9? I can't drag any songs into any playlists (existing or newly created). I can, however, delete songs from playlists.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    I was adding songs to my iPod playlist and not even 2 minutes in to the task I could no longer drag and drop songs into ANY of my playlists. I could just as easily right-click and the songs would go without problem.
    I've just got off the phone with Apple Support and all he had me do was download the most recent security update. I believe the only reason I was asked to do with was so my Macbook would not just restart, but also refresh all of the apps as well.
    So far so good. KMFC.

  • Can't add songs to playlists on iphone

    When I click on add to playlist, it gives me a selection of my playlists but I can't choose any of them! Clicking on them doesn't do anything.
    However I can add the song to a new playlist, but only one song..

    Don't just copy the songs. Copy the entire iTunes library.
    You need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from PC and replace /Music/iTunes/ on new computer.

  • Can't Move songs between playlists

    Is there a bug on Spotify for Iphone (latest IOS)? I can't add songs or transfer them btw playlists.

    Correction: it seams only for songs from local files.

  • Can't add to ANY playlist?

    Again after having a system restore I re-downloaded Itunes and I was able to extract the music from my Ipod Nano onto my computer and load the songs into Itunes, even thous some of them have different names or the titles have been deleted.  However now I'm unable to move any songs into the playlists I've recreated.  If I drag them, I get the red circle with a line through it and the folder won't highlight.  If I right click and try to add, the only option is *show in playlist* and mine are not one of the selections. And I also can't open the playlist and add any songs to it.  So what am I doing wrong?

    Not even a red-crossed circle while dragging it?
    Which type of Playlist are you trying to add these songs to?
    You can only add songs manually to a Regular Playlist. This can be done by dragging a song in to the list or by right-clicking a song and choosing Add to Playlist from the drop-down menu.
    You cannot add songs manually to a Smart Playlist. Songs are added to Smart Playlists by iTunes, if the song meets the rules for that Playlist.
    Also, you cannot add songs to a Playlist Folder. You can drag both types of Playlist into a Playlist folder

  • Cant add songs to playlist

    just got a new ipod, transfered songs from old ipod to laptop, put songs onto new ipod.  Now the problem....i cant add songs to a playlist, the arrow doesnt give me the add to option and i cant drag them.....i have multiple devices , ipad, 2 iphones and now this ipod....itunes says downloading song x to match, what the heck is that and why is it taking so long?  do i have a library conflict or something?  i constantly struggle with syncing and manually manage this and that and all these songs will be deleted and synced with this library, etc....you get the picture.....can anybody give me the crash course of apple products 101? i never had any problems when i just had an ipod years ago but when we got multiple devices and accounts and cloud everything has become much more difficult.

    What sort of Playlist?
    You can only drag songs into regular Playlists, but not into Smart Playlists. In the picture below, the highlighted Playlists with the "musical note on paper" are regular Playlists, into which you can add songs:
    The Playlists with a "cog wheel" beside them are Smart Playlists. Songs are added to these lists according to the rules you set for that list. You cannot drag songs into them and if you try, you will see the red circle with the slash.
    Is this the problem?

  • How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

    How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

    For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution.  The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
    After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out.  Click on "Show Menu Bar."  On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top).  Click on View and then Show Side Bar.  There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
    Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
    The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd). 

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

    It's ok to share the same AppleID for iTunes.  Use Separate ID's for iCloud, iMessage, and Facetime.

    Hey Adel Andic,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. If your music is already in iTunes, all you have to do is sync your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac by following these instructions, and you should be able to easily get your music on there:
