I have followed the instructions to add a playlist with iTunes 11. With my iPod and my daughter's iPod it's fine and comes up with the 'on this iPod' icon once you have clicked on the device. When I use iPhone no 'on this iPhone or Add comes up? Help!!!

I have found with iTunes 11 that to move music over on my iPod it works very well and shows the 'on this iPod' button when you click on the device.
With my iPhone however, you can click on iPhone but then there is no 'on this iPhone' button or the add button?
Is it something to do with the settings on my phone?
Please help as Zi wish to transfer some music across.
Thanks

Some other posts seem to indicate that the cause is related to voice memos.  You may want to try the remedy described in this document

although it says it's for the 6th gen iPod nano.

  • TS1368 Have followed all instructions - but still cannot connect to itunes

    I dont know what to do - I have done everything in all of the instructions on how to connect to itunes....but to no avail. This is arecent problem. It just started happening to me - on my Mac Pro.
    I have spoken to Comcast, I have rest my Network, I have deleted files, I have updated to the latest version, reset my password, and several other things. I am not sure why Apple doesnt want me to connect.
    Seems like I am asked to update itunes every week but they cannot figure out how to connect me to the itunes store. Sigh.
    I support Apple - but  I am happy to start to buy music on Amazon.com if Apple cannot figure this one out. Seems like miloipns of others have this same problem and nothing happens.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • TS3899 I have an iPhone 5 and it shows on the Mail Icon that I have over 3,000 emails to read but the number continues to increase even when I have read the email.  I thought  once you have read an email it drops off the count of "new emails"

    I have an iPhone 5 and it shows on the Mail Icon that I have over 3,000 emails to read but the number continues to increase even when I have read the email.  I thought  once you have read an email it drops off the count of "new emails"

    The received emails should show in two locations:
    1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
    2. The Inbox for each mail account,
    If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT5637 How do you delete a song on the iphone once you have downloaded it from itunes match to free up space again?

    Does anyone know how you delete a song on the iphone once you have downloaded it from itunes match to free up space on the device again?

    Hi martithe_t,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.
    Click on the link to see more details and screenshots. 
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    Apple - iTunes - Match
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
    Cheers,

    I have subscribed to convert PDF file to an Excel or Word . I have followed your instructions to do so but I always get an error message. I have chated with one representative who suggested that I wait 24h before I try it again implying that my subscription is in process. the time span has elapsed and when i try it, I still get the error message. HELP ME or REFUND me the money

    "an error message" really doesn't tell us much.

  • Does Home Share only work when you are at home?  Or once you've shared will the music stay on the computer you've shared it with?

    I want to use Home Share to share music in i-Tunes between my desk top and my laptop.  Does it work once you're not in the same house?

    If you use home sharing to transfer music to your laptop, it stays on the laptop and you can take it anywhere.
    Look at Understanding Home Sharing:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819  where it says "With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or simply drag music between computer libraries. You can also choose to have iTunes automatically import purchases you make on any of your Home Sharing computers to your own library."

  • I want to prevent MyDay from starting up when I switch on.  I have followed all instructions for doing this, but to no effect.  I have unlocked and relocked.

    I use an Macbook from 2006 with OS X 10.7.5
    MyDay starts up every time I switch on.  I don't use it, so want to remove it from the list of programs which start automatically.  I have followed all instructions for doing this, and have of course unlocked and relocked the relevant page in Systems Preferences, but the instruction never 'sticks', and MyDay still starts every time.  Anyone know what to do?

    Check StartupItems...
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/StartupItems
    Click Go. If you see any reference to MyDay, delete it. That does not delete the app Just keeps it from launching when you startup your Mac.
    Just to be sure, you checked System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items   ??
    Unlocking or locking the padlock icon only prevents other users from changing your preferences.

  • When I download itunes 10.4 and quicktime the icons appear on my desktop but once I double click on the icon nothing happens, When I download itunes 10.4 and quicktime the icons appear on my desktop but once I double click on the icon nothing happens

    When I install itunes on my home pc everything goes thru fine I see the icons on my desk top but once I double click on the itunes icon nothing happens
    I downloaded itunes 10.4 and I'm using window 7 - 64 bit as my OS.

    Many thanks.
    The iTunes and QuickTime symptoms are consistent with another application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old Quicktime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
    It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
    So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
    Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
    Thanks again dominic23

  • I'm having probs backing up iPhone 5 to iCloud - just sits on the backing up screen with message 'estimated time remaining....' But goes no further and doesn't back up - wifi is fine and definitely enough storage spaces. Anyone have any ideas plea

    I'm having probs backing up iPhone 5 to iCloud - just sits on the backing up screen with message 'estimated time remaining....' But goes no further and doesn't back up - wifi is fine and definitely enough storage spaces. Anyone have any ideas please?

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.
