How to manually add songs and playlists to ipod with new version of itunes?

So I didn't have any problem adding songs to my ipod nano manually until I updated itunes a few minutes ago, and found the settings completely different than previously.  I can no longer just drag songs and playlists to my ipod.  I have "manually manage music" and "enable disk use" selected.  I do not want to sync my whole library to it.  I have more songs in my library than can fit on my ipod.  And I already have my playlists set up how I want them.  Can someone help?  

go to iphone, then on the page below click the Add To... icon on the top right.
then its easiest to view them by songs. and then you can drag and drop from them and click Done when finished

  • How do transfer my songs AND playlists from iPOD classic to a NEW laptop

    How do you transfer both songs AND playlists from an iPOD to a new laptop? I have read a few posts about this, but none seem to talk about transfering the PLAYLISTS. I understand there is a manual method since the iPOD is essentially viewed as a hard drive by a windows based machine/PC and there are third party applications to provide a more automated process.
    So can playlists be transferred? If so how? Or will i need to recreate all my playlists? It is not the end of world, rather just tedious. Are there any "gotchas"?
    Thanx

    I also have a similar problem. Lap top crashed - new lap top have VISTA (I know...).
    Using my ipod as a external hard drive - I have loaded all the tunes onto a new folder on the desk top. I then loaded all the files into the itunes library and have upload them on the new itunes on the new lap top - all good. They are now on the new itunes library and my ipod
    However NONE of my purchased items have been transfered. Issue is that the files on the Desktop folder will not show which are purchesed and which are imported from CD - how do I find and then transfer my purchased songs...
    Thanks

  • How do I add album art like I did with previous version of itunes?

    I could easily drag and drop my album art into the window in the lower left album art viewer in the previous version of Itunes. Please bring this back!!!!

    Hi,
    I am having this same problem, but iTunes is messing up my artwork even more.
    I bought some albums from iTunes in the last days. They show with their proper artwork in iTunes 12.0.1.26 on MacOS 10.9.5.
    As as well organized German :-) I am used to change artist and album artist into "Lastname, Firstname" to get the right sorting. Doing this with this iTunes version lets the artwork disappear. Trying to add it manually fails as described in the original message.
    Hoping for a quick bugfix. I won't buy any more music from iTunes as long as changing anything in the properties of the information tab creates this hassle for me.

  • What is manually manage songs and playlist?

    I had some issues earlier and it seems to be resolved now,but in the process it had me set the IPod to manually manage songs and playlist. I want to close ITunes now and go to bed but I don't know how to exit ITUnes without losig my music. I used to click sync IPod and put a check mark next to the song I wanted loaded to the Ipod and when it was over I would take the check mark off,but now what do I do?

    By default the iPod is set to "automatically manage songs and videos", whatever changes you make in iTunes are reflected on the iPod the next time you connect it. In manual mode you can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from your library: Managing content manually on iPod
    Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods:: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • How to "manually add songs" only

    A few simple steps to manually manage your music in your iTunes so that your manually add songs to your iPod (provided the song amount, i.e. the Gb used, is less than the storage capacity of the touch device used).
    Step 1.
    Create a playlist and drag every song into the playlist you wish to be on your iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 2.
    Return to the music section in iTunes and press "cmd" and "select" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to unselect all songs.
    Step 3.
    Return to the playlist and press "cmd" and "select" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to select all songs in the playlist.
    [Note in doing step 2 followed by step 3, only the songs in the playlist are checked in the music section]
    Step 4.
    Return to the music section and sort by checked songs
    Step 5.
    Select all the checked songs and drag them onto the iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 6.
    Return to the music section in iTunes and press "cmd" and "select" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to select all songs.
    [Now what you have is only the songs you want on your device and all the songs will show up in the manually added songs section on your device. Also by reclicking all the music in your iTunes library you avoid the unnecessary complications of songs not playing/transferring while listening to music on your computer]
    A bit time consuming but it works well who like to carefully manage their library.

    Hi Chris,
    I will delete this thread and repost with correct terminology to avoid confusion. Also I will include the rationale behind why you would take this approach so that people can choose to see whether they will benefit from it. I'd have liked this to exist prior so I can manage my music statistics.
    Your way is right also, but is not the only way to do it and is certainly not the correct way for me. You don't "manage" your music your way.
    A few simple steps to manually manage your music in your iTunes so that your manually add songs to your iPod (provided the song amount, i.e. the Gb used, is less than the storage capacity of the touch device used).
    Reason: This is a good approach (not the only approach might I add) if you wish for your playcount to be tracked and a failsafe way of managing your songs individually so you do not need to rely on playlists.
    Step 1.
    Create a playlist and drag every song into the playlist you wish to be on your iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 2.
    Return to the music section in iTunes and press "cmd" and click on the "touchpad" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to unselect all songs.
    Step 3.
    Return to the playlist and press press "cmd" and click on the "touchpad" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to select all songs in the playlist.
    [Note in doing step 2 followed by step 3, only the songs in the playlist are checked in the music section]
    Step 4.
    Return to the music section and sort by checked songs
    Step 5.
    Select all the checked songs and drag them onto the iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 6.

  • How do I get my songs and playlists from an external hard drive into iTunes?

    I have got all of my songs and playlists on an external drive from my PC. I just bought a mac and can't understand the directions to get my songs and playlists up and running in iTunes...Can anyone help?

    If you backed the library up by drag-copying it, drag-copy it to the same location on the new computer. If you backed up an entire iTunes library, you can also drag it to any location, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and specify it.
    If you used a backup product, check that product’s documentation.
    The song files must be located on the computer’s internal drive for them to play without the external one connected. If needed, organize the library in iTunes.

  • How to manually add audio book to the ipod

    How do I manually add an audiobook to my ipod?

    First make sure your iPod is set to manually manage by enabling the Manually manage music and videos option from under the iPod's Summary tab.  Once you have done this, you can manually click and drag the audiobook and its tracks over to your iPod from under the Devices section in the lefthand pane of iTunes.

  • How to not add songs from Playlists to the library (duplicate entries)

    In my iTunes library, I have lots of songs showing up more than once. When I right-click Get Info it seems this is because I have them on playlists that are also in the library. Songs in multiple playlists can even show up more than twice.
    I know I can Show Duplicates but it would take me ages. Also I can't tell which songs are direct, and which are from a playlist, unless I right-click and Get Info individually (it probably doesn't matter, but I'd prefer to delete the playlist songs).
    How do I edit the preferences so that this doesn't happen, and songs in playlists aren't added again? I looked around preferences and couldn't find anything that seemed to be what I needed.
    Message was edited by: DaemonDragon

    "Go to Library - Music and click Show duplicates.
    Select a duplicate and right click - Show in Windows Explorer.
    Everything in the library should be pointing only to an actual file on your HD, not a song in a playlist."
    ...I'm not sure if you're saying that iTunes shouldn't be behaving like this, but it IS. I followed your instructions, selected Library - Music and clicked Show Duplicates... what I see is 511 entries, most in pairs, some triplets.
    Here's an example:
    Two identical entries (bitrate, files size, duration, etc., all the same) for Get Me by Everything But The Girl... clicking Show in Explorer for the first entry opens an Explorer window with the filepath:
    D:\Music\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
    ...clicking the second entry opens the SAME Explorer window with the same contents but with the filepath:
    D:\Music\My Playlists\..\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
    So are you saying that the only way to eliminate these duplicate entries is to individually click each one and check if it's pointing to the original song file or to a playlist that includes that song and then delete it manually? ...for 511 entries? ... and how do I prevent this from happening with any new music I add?

    I have purchased songs directly onto my ipod touch, but cannot get them to transfer/sync to my itunes library.  I want to update my software, but need to get all my songs onto my library first.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    When you say you cannot get them to transfer have you tried syncing to the computer, backing up to the computer thru iTunes?

  • Lost playlists when I installed newer version of itunes.

    My employer recently purchased a new computer for me and transfered all of my files to a new Macbook. (Also, I have my itunes set up to run from an external hard drive.) Anyway when I tried to open itunes, I got a message saying that Itunes couldn't read...something because a newer version was installed etc. Well, I read on the forums how to fix that, and I can now see all of my music in the itunes library but my playlists are gone. I saw a post relating to this and followed the steps of downloading the newest version of itunes, etc. but I still have no playlists. I desperately need to retrieve these somehow...please help.

    As long as the books are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Having issues with new version of iTunes and my iPod...

    I recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes, and now I can't view my iPod's songs or add songs to my iPod through iTunes. Whenever I click on my iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to close it. In fact, sometimes iTunes freezes up as I'm playing songs.
    Any help with this?
      Windows XP  

    download, install, and run the latest iPod updater. Even if it does not contain new versions for your model, it will re-install a fresh copy of the software and might shake loose anything that has become stuck.
    If you have all your music on the computer (and you should for occasions just like this), use the "restore" option, it will wipe the hard drive of the iPod, but helps out the most.
