Can't Add Music-Please Help
Hi there. Figured I would run down my whole scenario and then hope that you individuals of greater experience and shuffle wisdom could help me. Here goes:
Purchased my first Ipod (2nd Gen 1G Shuffle) a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I have already exchanged it once at Best Buy for a new one. I have never used an Ipod but have used an MP3 player. The computer I am using was previously owned by my brother, who had his own Ipod and Itunes was previously installed on this computer.
Since purchasing the shuffle...:
I can't put any music on the shuffle, using any technique whatsoever. I can't drag and drop, autofill, nada. I have used existing tunes on my computer, tried importing songs from CDs, and even purchased a song from Itunes. None of the songs will go on my shuffle.
In an attempt to fix the problem I have:
1. Restored to no avail.
2. Reset the Ipod.
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.
4. Erased all apple related products and reinstalled Itunes.
5. Updated to all the latest versions of Itunes.
6. Attempted to change, tweak, alter all itunes/shuffle settings and reversed those changes, etc.
7. Used apples ipod manuals, answers.yahoo, the whole internet, my own manual that came with my shuffle, and now finally this option (no offense) in order to troubleshoot myself without wasting anybody's time.
I can pretty much say I am at my wits end with this thing. While I'm not an IT or Comp. Science major, I also don't consider myself a complete moron so I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Does it have to do with my bro's Itunes account previously being on this comp? Is it the songs I'm choosing? My roommate has a Nano and she is completely baffled to the point that while she really wants to help, she doesn't want my shuffle touching her comp or her Ipod touching my comp.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Ipod does indeed appear in the Itunes List.
When I drag and drop I get a message at the top either saying "Waiting for IPod" or "Syncing Ipod" for about 30 seconds or so and then nothing happens. The Apple Icon reappears at the top, no song, no message, no nothing.
I have used every USB port on my comp and yes I have used other USB devices before with success.
Thank you for the quick reply btw.

Can't sync music please help me I'm dumb
why won't my music sync with my blackberry? I had previously had it working and whenever I would get new music I would just connect and re-sync but now it's saying there is no space. I deleted some of the music on my blackberry in order to make more room and deleted more than 50% of my music and it still says the same thing. I then uninstalled the blackberry desktop program and reinstalled it hoping it would solve the problem and it almosd did except then it began to start the process and then say there is an error and it is shutting down. I am stuck. Please help me!

My iPhone 5 won't stop scrolling through songs and I can't stop it please help !! :(
settings - general - usuage - music - delete. Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then sync the music back via iTunes. -

After updating to iOS 7, I can't add music to my 4S.
I had no problems upgrading to iOS 7 yesterday, but afterwards I couldn't add music to my phone. I add everything manually, and tried to add an album last night, but when I dragged the album over to my phone, it just blinked twice and then the album sat on my iPhone unsynced. Then today, after plugging my phone in to my computer, iTunes sat on "Waiting for changes to be applied." I figured this is what was keeping my music from syncing onto my phone, so I looked up some solutions (none worked) and the only thing that happened was all of my music on my phone got deleted for whatever reason.
I still can't add music and this is what happens every time I try to add any song to my phone:
I really don't want to have to restore my phone to factory default, although I'm thinking that is what I'm gonna have to do.I've spent the last two hours trying to get some new mp3's onto my iPhone 4 from iTunes!
It just won't work no matter what I try!
I pay for Match but it's pot luck whether or not it decides to sync your music between devices in a timely manner. Normally it takes a few hours before my song finally shows up on my iPhone!
That's absolutely no good!!
I make music and constantly have fresh, new tunes that I need to put on my iPhone to listen to in my car, on a walk, in the shower, on a stereo system, etc, etc.
I don't want to be waiting a random number of hours before I can hear my tunes!!
I turned off Match so I could add tunes to my iPhone manually, but every time I drag any songs over to my phone, iTunes says "preparing to update" and then gives up after a few minutes, having tranferred absolutely nothing over to my iPhone!!
I'm seriously pulling my hair out here!!
It's so pathetic that I can't help but laugh every time Apple's products fail with such simple, basic tasks. It's ridiculous and farcical. A joke.

If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. Then you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. Of course, you can only do this if it's your ID.

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes.
When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load.
[Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to add music to my phone.
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,

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?
Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!
Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
Hope this helps. -
Hello! I was on my Mac and then I clicked on iTunes. Then I clicked on Account, and accidentally removed my device from my Mac, how can I get it back? Also when I plug my iPod into the computer, it downloads everything that is on my computer, how can I stop this. please help! please help!!!!!!thank you
Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing. -
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,
Peloche

Can I add music to my iPod that woz not bought on iTunes?
Yes. Import it into the iTunes library, convert it if needed, and sync the iPod with that iTunes library.
iTunes will not import or convert protected WMA or WMV content.
