I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone? I have no access to my old computer and the songs on it are from cds not itunes purchases
Please help!!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Help with adding new song to 2007 iPod shuffle

I have an iPod shuffle from 2007 and just recently went to add new songs to it. Itunes program keeps telling me I have to erase everything and reload w/ new playlist I've added?? Confused, don't remember it working like this last year when I added songs. Any help??

With the 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle, it can only be associated with one iTunes library at a time. That has always been the design. It is basically like a mobile playlist for iTunes the library. The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles work more like the "bigger" iPods that have a screen, which is different from the very simple 1st and 2nd gen.
If you previously used this shuffle with a different iTunes library, iTunes is asking if you want to associate the shuffle with the iTunes library you are now using.
Any help??
What do you want to do...?

I added new songs in itunes and sync'd to ipod but the playlists that were changed are now in the wrong location. e.g. "Instrumental" playlist is now between letters M and N on my ipod, but in right location in itunes. How do I fix this?

Also, I can no longer find my "Recently Added" playlist. I have searched every title in my playlists and its no longer there. It's really frustrating because now if I want to listen to a new playlist that I've added new music to I have to really search for it. Please help! Thank you!

This worked. Yesterday after I logged out - I continued to try to figure it out, and came up with the same solution. I made a smart playlist with both types.
However, I had tried to drop those into the green purchased file yesterday and it would not accept them. Today it works.
Guess it is like a car. It makes a noise, and when you take it to the dealer, it stops making that noise.
I went and looked at all of the songs I had purchased. Some of the more recent songs say Protected. The first five I purchased just say "AAC audio file" but if you look at them in their file, they have the little lock icon on them, as the purchased and protected ones do.. So I dunno... ??
Thanks for the help.

IPod Not Automatically Adding New Songs When First Plugged In

For some time now, my iPod Nano (currently running iTunes 12.0.1.26) will not automatically add new songs when its first plugged into my MacBook Pro. I have to click the Sync button in the lower right hand corner of iTunes and then it will. I could swear it would automatically add new songs to the Nano but now it doesnt...
Sync Music is checked, Entire Music Library is checked.
Is this one of those new added features of new versions of iTunes? (sarcasm)
Thank you.
Scott

Nevermind...my fault.
The setting for preventing auto synching in Preferences, Device Preferences was checked.
Sorry.

Adding new songs to ipod a 2nd time

Hi everyone
I'm a noobie when it comes to using an ipod and itunes.I've already loaded about 5200 songs to my 30 gig ipod and they sound great but how do I add more songs without deleting all previous songs? It took 10 hours to load the current songs to my ipod.I just want to add a few more without deleting the current libary. Is that possible or do I have to delete the current list and load all the songs all over again. Thanks to all those who answer.
5th generation 30 gig ipod Windows XP

no i didn't delete them i just added a few more songs into itunes and when i try to sync to add the additional songs itunes wants to delete all the songs on the ipod and then completely reload the ipod with the entire library.All I'm trying to do is add more songs to the ipod without having to delete any songs off the ipod.In otherwords the itunes has all my music in it. But if down the road i want to add more music to my library and then to my ipod. I only want to sync the new songs to the ipod and not delete every song on the ipod just to reload the whole library.
Thanks for responding

Adding new songs to Ipod

Every time I want to add new songs through Itunes to my ipod it says I have to restore it and then I end up re-adding all my songs because everything get erased. Does any one know why this happens or what I can do so it won't happen?

By default the iPod is set to "automatically manage songs and playlists", whatever changes you make in iTunes are reflected on the iPod the next time you connect it. However if the library is different to what's on the iPod you need to change that setting to "manually manage songs and playlists" but first you need to prevent it auto-syncing and erasing the tracks off your iPod.
One way to do this is to use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod and return them to iTunes. This is just a selection, have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
PodPlus Windows Only
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

It doesn't make any sense (trouble adding new songs/podcasts)

Hi all
When I add new songs to my Ipod shuffle, some will play, some won't. When I try to add some podcasts, I can't add them directly by dragging and dropping, so I had to create a new playlist where I can add some new podcasts. And some will play, and some won't.
By the way, I can't see a whole list of files "inside" the ipod. Instead, I see them in two separated screens.
OS: Windows XP
All podcasts and songs are ok, they can be listened to when played on iTunes
Already changed options for podcasts, so they will play when playing in random order.
iPod shows up in iTunes when pluged in
Used apple stuff for some time now.
I used a ipod shuffle 2nd gen for some time and no problem at all...
thanks in advance.
This whole things it has been doing my head in for the last two days...
PS: And sometimes it only plays podcasts. And sometimes only music and no trace of podcasts. As I said... it doesn't make any sense...

PS 2nd: Tried again, now with two podcasts (ok to play random) and one song. Only can listed to the song. No idea why it doesn't play the podcasts.
Help anyone?
Thanks again

well, it seems that I have found the solution (i read somewhere, not already checked)
Since ipod shuffle 3G, you have to add podcasts to a playing list, otherwise you can't listen to them.
If I get it solved, I will write here for the next who doesn't receive much help from Apple and has to google the solution.

Nano not adding new songs even with free space

I have my nano automatically updating only a few of my playlist on itunes. Today however, I encountered a problem, for some reason even though itunes shows that I have 743 MB free, I am unable to update my nano, even when just adding one song to the playlist. I am able to manual update though, anyone have a solution, I would love to be able to still use the itunes playlist.

same problems over here.... 4gb model, but won't add songs even though i have ~1.81gb free. what the heck?

Iphone 6 not adding new songs in playlists

Hello,
I've just tried updating my 128gb iphone 6 for the first time since setting it up last week, and noticed that the couple of new albums I'd added to a playlist over the week to transfer over during the update weren't added.
Due to the size of my library (c.40,000 tracks), I manage everything through playlists - I currently have 400 lists on the phone, to manage the 7,000+ songs I want on there. I update these playlists regularly - add a song or two, remove a song or two, etc, over the weeks - and the changes are usually passed over on the update, using the 'Sync selected playlists' option. This has worked for years and I've never had a problem, until this. (I'm pretty sure it'll sort itself out if i were to unsync all music then re-add it all, but that's fairly time consuming and I'm away from home at the minute, so won't be able to do that every time I just want to add a track or two to the phone the chances I do get to get to the computer).
I can't see anything I'm doing differently from the last phone and it's driving me mad - all I want is these tracks added for the drive to work.

I acquired my iPhone 6 about a month ago and had no problem working and connected to my Yahoo! and Gmail email accounts. However, since Monday, no new mail is loading for my Yahoo! account. It had been working up until then. My Gmail account is totally fine.
I tried fiddling with the setting, deleting my Yahoo! account and re-adding it, and checking the password. Nothing has worked so far.
This is a known issue with the Yahoo email account, which is notoriously bad.
You've done most of the troubleshooting for it - suggest you try using the Yahoo email app.

Unable to edit my songs in my shuffle, such as deleting songs from my shuffle and adding new songs into it.

When i first bought my shuffle a few years back, i would use the itunes in my old laptop to add/delete songs from it. However, recently i realised im unable to do so on my new laptop (using itunes). Today, im unable to add/delete songs from my shuffle, using my old laptop or new laptop. Need help on this, as im unable to change my songs in my shuffle. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

Hi Sam,
CRMToolBox gives you an option to work on webresources. Alternatly, You can export the webresource, work in Visual Studio and use the browse button on the webresource editor to upload the updated file.

ITunes Music Library.xml not updating when adding new songs

I have about 150.000 music tracks on my iMac and iTunes didnt have any difficulty with it. When using the songs in DJ program Native Instruments Traktor Pro, this program checked the latest update of the iTunes Music Library.xml file and everything went ok. Whenever I changed a smart playlist or added songs, my Traktor looked at the updated .xml file and Traktor updated it's own files.
SUDDENLY, and I dont know why, this iTunes Music Library.xml file did not update anymore. Whenever I change a song or add a song, the 'update date' in my finder next to the iTunes Music Library.xml file stays the same (1 May 2010) This means my DJ software does not show the updated/added songs...
Plse help... what should I do... I am a professional DJ and I especially bought this iMac for the purpose of DJ'ing. Because of this issue, I can't use it anymore...

try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.

ITunes 11 crashing when starting (Mac 10.6.8) since adding new songs

Hello! Whether I have my wifi connection on or not (which would rule out problems of sync with my iPhone or iPad, or Genius...), since I've added 10 mp3 songs from a playlist curated by Sonos, my iTunes 11 has been crashing when starting, and there's nothing I can do. I deleted the songs meanwhile, they don't appear anymore, but it looks like the problem is now permanent. Restarted my computer several times, same, it crashes after 10 seconds.
Thank you for your help!

I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.
