Can't add music to iPhone 5 from iTunes 11

I am trying to manually add music to my iPhone 5 from iTunes 11. After dragging and dropping music onto the device, it appears under the music section of the device, except it is greyed out. I can't play the music, and when I check on the phone, the music isn't there.

I figured it out...
Go to the playlist on your computer that you want to add to your device.
1. Hightlight the song so you see the arrow and click on it.
2. Click "Add To" and select the device and playlist you want to add it to.
You may have to create a new playlist on the device first and THEN add the music from your computer to the device.
Or highlight all the songs, right-click on the selection, and tell it to add to the playlist on the device...

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,

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

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't add musics to Iphone 4

Hi, since i've updated my iTunes to 11.0.4 i just can't add musics to my iphone 4. I can add everything else, and that makes me think if something changed when it comes to adding music to the iphone. With my ipad i don't have this problem, i add musics and delete them with no problems, but when it comes to my iphone, i try to sync the library, i try to add them manually but all my tries are unsuccessful.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Cheers

Try a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

I can't navigate into my iphone from Itunes

Hi everyone,
Since few months, i can't add or delete some files to my iphone from itunes because i can't see anything (iphone caracteristics, button labels, etc...). I don't know what happened and i've already tried to re install itunes and all others applications. But it's the same problem. I've thought that it could be my last iphone 3GS which has a problem. But tomorrow I've got a new iphone 4G and I can't easily configure it because I can't read anything from itunes.
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Ariane

Try charging from a wall outlet.
Other than that, Restore iPhone

Upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now I can't add music to iPhone 4.3.2

I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now cannot add music to my iPhone (4.3.2 sw). Really would prefer not to uninstall iTunes and re-initialize my library if I can avoid it. If I try to drag one song to my phone, it highlights my phone but won't actually add it. If I select several songs to drag onto my phone, it shows the invalid icon (circle w/ line through it). I can still add songs to my iPod touch.
Anyone else seen this?

Try a reset > OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system

Can't add songs to iphone 3gs itunes

My coworker just gave me her old iphone 3gs since she upgraded, and I haven't gotten cell service on it yet, but I'd like to add music.
I can't add any music from my itunes, I drag the songs to the phone and itunes "syncs" the phone, but the tracks stay gray. After I remove it and plug it back in, it's like I never added them.
I've messed with all the settings and restored it a couple of times, is this something I need to go to AT&T to figure out?

Maybe you can try plugging the iphone to pc, opening itunes and then flagging the option " MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC AND VIDEOS".
Let us know.

How can I get music (not purchased from iTunes) and photos from my iPad onto my MacBook?

I just recently had my hard drive replaced and lost all of my music and photos from it. I have all of my music and photos backed up onto my iPad and iPhone via iCloud.
I was able to download all of my purchased music from iTunes, back onto my MacBook. The problem is, how do I get the other music and photos from my iPad, back onto my MacBook?

Is there any possible way to backup music that I did not purchase from iTunes on to iCloud?
No.
... if I happened to break my iPad, or if something happened to my Laptop.
If you like your music library, back up your laptop.
If you lose or break your iPad, you can sync your iTunes music library to a brand new one. You will lose nothing.
If you lose your laptop, or it crashes, or becomes virus-infested, you can restore your iTunes music library from your backup. You will lose nothing. Without a backup though, your music resides only on the iPad, and extracting it will require the assistance of third party (paid) utilities. Worse, there is no guarantee they will continue to function after some future iOS upgrade, since the iPad is not designed to work that way.
There are dozens of questions every day from people who lost their iTunes music when their laptop crashed. Your laptop will crash - it's only a question of when.

Can't add music to iphone

Help! I have a 3G iPhone. I have some music on it, but I can't add any more. I have it set up to manually manage music and ring tones. Any suggestions? I'm using a MacBook Pro and have the latest software on all devices.

Roamingnome just helped me find an obvious solution... that I was not aware of.
The "Manage music manually" box is on the 'Summary' page of your Iphone in Itunes, NOT under the "Music" tab.
If that sounds completely condescending, I don't mean it to be. I spent two hours trying to figure out why I couldn't get music on my Iphone until I looked at the "Summary" page. I would have expected a button like that to be under the Music tab.
I'm interested to know if you ever got it worked out some other way. Let me know.

How can I can ringtones and music I purchased from itune back on my iPhone5,please help

how can I get back music and ringtones I purchased from itune back on my iPhone 5

What you can try to do is install an extension such as Ad-Block Plus, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus], which will block many different forms of advertising.
Also, update your Firefox to version 12, and update your plugins to make sure you stay on top of security threats :) [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
If that fails to work, there is a possibility you might be infected with viruses, try Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
Double check for all Windows Updates.

Can't add music to iPhone 5s and songs not deleting off phone

Tried restarting phone several times and this has not resolved the issue.
I have deleted a bunch of music off of my phone... when I plug into iTunes, the songs do not show in iTunes but remain on my phone... also when I try to add new music - it won't add the songs(not even in a grayed out state) the file icon just sort kicks back as if iTunes is laughing at me, saying "NOPE! Not today, son!"
'had this issue a few weeks ago and it seemed to resolve itself magically... now it's happening again. Very frustrating.
