    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
    Cheers,

  • Importing music onto iPhone from my Library?

    Doesn't allow me to do it. Are we not allowed to? or am I doing something wrong?

    Weird... dragging of songs onto my iPhone is the only thing that works for me. AT&T messed up the config on my SIM card during the activation process while trying to transfer my number, and now I have to return it for a new card after talking with their tech "support" for over 4 hours today.
    So basically I have, literally, an iPhone Shuffle.
    That said, the other 3 phones on our plan work, but do not allow songs to be dragged.

  • Itunes doesn't add all the songs from my library

    Hi,
    Had to reinstall Itunes and now the program doesn't add all the songs from my library (roughly 4,000 songs). All that is added is maybe 20 songs, and always the same ones. It has worked perfectly before.
    I have tried to "pull" all the artist folders into the Itunes window, but it doesn't work. I have tried to set another folder as the Itunes library and then choose "add new folder", but only those 20 songs are added. I have made sure so that none of the files are copy protected or "read-only".
    Please, help!
    Best regards,
    Jonas

    Ok, I deleted the two files and upon startup iTunes did run that search wizard for music files. However, it only found 4 songs that are located on local harddisks, and did not (as far as I could see on the network status) even try to search on the network harddisk.
    One more thing though, that I forgot to mention before. I tried to solve this situation by installing an earlier version of iTunes... 4.6 i think, but when I tried to run the program it told me something like "Cannot read the file iTunes library.itl since it was created by a later version of iTunes". Where can i find that file, and should i remove it and try to add the songs with iTunes 4.6 instead?
    (Thanks so much for all your help!)

  • HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

    The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

    Computer stolen.  Only backup is iphone.  How do I transwer from Iphone back to Itunes.  Bunch of music on iphone from CD's.

    Normally you would restore the backup of the computer, but you say you don't have a backup of the computer. That is a shame. See this user hint to try and rebuild your library. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

    Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

    I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
    I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
    I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
    I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday).  I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take.  I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
    Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit).  I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first.  Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

  • How do you add music to iPhone in Itunes it doesn't show up in the right hand corner anymore?

    How do you add music to iPhone in Itunes it doesn't show up in the right hand corner anymore?

    Reboot your computer. In iTunes go to View menu. Does it say Hide Sidebar? If it does look the iPhone in the left sidebar in iTunes.
    If it says Show Sidebar and you still don't see the iPhone on the upper right try choosing Show Sidebar and look on the left.
    If it's still not showing see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • With IOS7 I can't download to my iphone from overdrive library support. Can anyone help?

    Are you saying that you can't download library books to Overdrive on you iPhone?  Just asking for clarification because it seems to be working for me.

  • Can only add music with Autofill from Library (not working with playlists)

    I can only add music using the Autofill feature and it will only work when the main music library is selected. Autofill does not work when a playlist is selected and I can not add music directly by dragging songs from a library or playlist as described in the owner's manual.
    Is there something wrong with iTunes, the iPod or is this user error?

    Hi Steve,
    You're right it's the same for me.
    I don't know as you mentionned whether it is an user error or not but I've got 2 iPods now, one is 60 Go color display (60Go) and the other received yesterday is 2G iPod Shuffle (Clipod). I can't drag songs from 60Go nor to iTunes Library neither to Clipod Music. The autofill function works only from iTunes Library where I've got 5 songs only (new MacPro), somebody knows how to export 60Go music to iTunes Library ?
    Thanks,
