3gs not allowing me to synch seperate songs/albums

my 3gs is not allowing me to drag and drop seperate songs or individual albums from itunes unless i synch WHOLE selected music collection !!!! although i can with my ipod touch!!!!!!
This was fine before itunes and iphone updates
Any suggestions aside from chucking phone out of window

If your have a 4G iPod that has iOS 6 and a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 see:
ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
If you have the new 5G iPod you need OSX 10.6.8 or later and iTunes 10.7
If the iPod has iOS 4.2 to 5.1.1 you need OSX 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.X

  • ITunes will not allow me to edit any song information

    Not sure why but iTunes will not allow me to edit any song information in iTunes library.

    Just a few questions first. When did the problem begin & did you install/change anything at that time? Are the songs greyed out and do they play okay?

  • Ipod Mini will not allow me to add any songs.

    Ok so i have a Ipod Mini.. It worked PERFECT until my last update. My itunes is fully updated (1.4.1). I was about to drag my new songs to my Itune Playlist, and it wouldnt let me. As soon as i would let the song drop in the play list this would come out "file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/admin/Shared/T,does not seem to be a valid podcast url. Pleasecheck that you have entered the correct URL and try again." I am not sure what my podcast URL was..And i dont really know where i can view my podcast url so i can fix it ..
    please help me !! ^_^
    thanks guys!

    "my ipod was linked to another computer when i downloaded itunes onto my lap top it will not allow me to add songs to ipod mini without deleting all the songs can any body give me a simple remedy(ipod is linked to anotheritunes library do you wish to link to this library)?"
    After you click "no" to that message, use one of the suggestions here to get the music from your iPod back to iTunes.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
    Once you are sure that the music is safely back in iTunes (and not before), you can click "yes" to that message, associate the iPod with your new iTunes installation and start using the iPod and iTunes as normal.

  • When making a new playlist, the screen layout has changed, the playlist header is now on the left instead of the right, this does not allow me to drag the songs onto the playlist, how do I reset?

    When Making a new play list, the play list was on the right of the screen and this allowed you to drag your music onto the playlist, my setup has changed to the left of the screen which does not allow you to drag your music across, how do I reset?

    In the top corner of iTunes is a small icon with a down arrow, click on that and choose 'show menu bar'. 
    Then on the view menu which now appears choose 'show sidebar'

  • Help!!  I-tunes will not allow me to transfer purchased songs.

    My computer crashed and I lost everything and had to start from square one. I followed the directions from another posting and downloaded the suggested software program for Windows (Tune Jack) that allowed me to transfer everything that was on my Ipod back onto my computer and into my I-tunes library.
    Next I added a few new Podcasts and downloaded a few new songs. Then I went to sync my Ipod and it would not transfer the new songs and all my past purchases from the past few months back onto my Ipod and effectively erased them from my Ipod. The message was that they were "not authorized to be played on my computer." However they still remain in my I-tunes library, just not on the Ipod any longer.
    How do I get them back on the Ipod like they were before?
    Very frustrated. Thanks for any help.

    try playing one of the songs in iTunes prior to trying to sync them to the iPod.
    what most likely happened, is you did not authorize the computer to play stuff from your itunes store account.

  • I purchased a new vehicle with a USP port but my nano model A199 will not work, only works with the aux plug which will not allow me to view the songs on the vehicle touchscreen. Is there a download I can get to put into this nano?

    I purchased a new vehicle and the older ipod nano I have will not work through the USP  port, only works through the aux plug. Is there a download i can get toput into the nano that will then allow me to use the USP port instead of the aux port?

    Check with your dealer and see if there is a special cable available for connecting your iPod. It should have a dock connector on one end and USB and miniplug on the other.

  • ITunes not allowing me to drag/drop songs into iPod Touch

    i have a little over 25 gigs of music on my computer. i have space for only 14 gigs of music on my iPod, so i don't want it to sync my library automatically. however, when i try to drag/drop music like i have with my other iPods (this is my third one) it won't let me...it gives me the little symbol like in ghostbusters but without the ghost in the middle, y'know? like i said, i need to upload stuff manually because my Touch doesn't have space enough for my whole library...so what gives??
    edit: i have the latest versions of iTunes and the latest iPod software, and i've restarted both my PC and iPod since installing said updates.
    edit (again): nevermind, i'm a fool. right there on the iPod homepage there's a box under "options" and i just had to click "manually add songs." so, i answered my own question, holler.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *View > Toolbars
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

  • TS1630 why is my iphone 3gs not allowing me to change my volume

    i cant adjust my volume cause its not there

    Maybe we need more details here.
    But note: Power PC applications are not supported in the latest OS (Lion, 10.7) - they will not run. In Lion they have No Entry icons on them.
    Are you saying that when you bring your old applications (photoshop, etc.) to your new computer they get the no entry sign? If so, you will need to update your software to be compatible with Lion.

  • HT1491 My iPad only shows one song from a whole album I purchased on iTunes from my Macbook. iTunes only shows the album as purchased but will not allow me to download to iPad.

    I bought a full album on iTunes but the iTunes on my iPad mini will not allow me to download the full album. It shows that I have purchased the item but the purchase does not show up in my "Purchase" tab of iTunes on my iPad. I have updated my iPad completely. I have spent all weekend trying to fix this issue and I am so frustrated!!

    Thanks for the reply! I am using the same username for my Macbook and iPad but had to update my Apple ID to a current email. After I did that I updated my iPad to the current system and then my iTunes stopped recognizing my purchases. It wasn't until JUST NOW that my original Apple ID would allow my password to delete itself from the iPad. So the issue seems solved now. User error.
    Thank you!

  • New ITUNES Does not allow me to sync and wiped out song on my ipod video

    I was prompted to update my ITUNES software (7.02 I believe). Once I did this, it told me that I needed to update my Quick Time Software, which I also did.
    I did as I was told and took my IPOD Video out on my walk. It deleted every song on my out except for two. When I attempeted to re synch the IPOD it will not allow me to do it.
    The playlists on the IPOD appear to be locked.
    HELP PLEASE

    I am having the same problem. My library is not showing up on my computer but is on my phone. The only thing on my computer is the 3 songs I just bought. My message says that my Iphone is synced with another library. I do not want to lose the 100+ songs on my iphone. I do not see them anywhere on my Mac computer. Should I sync or will I lose all music?

  • How do you delete songs from Itunes? I have many that show up as many as 7 times and itunes will not allow me to remove them.

    I have tried to Hilight them and hit Control Delete nothing happens. I tried to just Delete one, but when you hit delete nothing happens.

  • I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all photos. And I cannot find them anywhere.

    I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all 129 photos of my graduation and friends from the past two days. And I cannot find them anywhere, photo stream, ICloud, nothing. Where can I get back my memories?

    Were the photos taken by your new iPhone?  If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore?  If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
    Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide.

  • My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

    My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

  • ITunes will not allow me to put songs on my Ipod...

    I updated my itunes and ipod and everything. I've had my ipod for a year now and have never had a problem like this. I drag my songs from my music folder onto my ipod itunes area and it says it's putting it on my ipod but when it finishes the song(s) are nowhere to be found. I have like 2500 songs on my ipod and numerous videos so it's not like I've never done this before. It only happened when I updated to the new iTunes so I figured I'd uninstall it and put back the old itunes I had which was iTunes6.0.5 and I get this error now when I try and open it:
    [IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f161/puhpuhplaya2/itunes.jpg[/IMG]
    Can anyone either please tell me how to fix that error or tell me how to fix the problem with the new iTunes because I'll re-install it if someone can help. Thanks.

    I installed itunes 06 and now it will not allow me to put my purchased songs on my ipod. I get the notice that my computer is not authorized. Yet, each time I try to authorize it, I receive the notice that authorization was successful and there is only one computer authorized. I never had this problem before I installed itunes '06. Can anyone help? It sounds like the same problem the person before me had.
