Can't add songs, only albums...?

A quest to get more money from me? I can only add albums to my cart (no, I didn't upgrade iTunes to 9.x, still got a cart). Any work-arounds?

Error code in red is: "Could not add an item to your cart. An unknown error occurred (5002)." iTunes version 8.2. This only happens with songs, I can add albums fine. I can also one-click to purchase, which I discovered accidentally. I tried trashing iTunes.plist to no avail; upon signing in to my account had the same prob. Thinking about creating a new account and trying that.
Any 8.2 users out there? Having this issue?

  • Add songs only to playlist

    Is there a way I can add songs only to a playlist and not to thye itunes library? I want to make a playlist for my mom,but I don't want her songs on while I am listening.
    Will someone please help me?

    If you put it in the library and then delete it, the title will still be in the playlist but it will simply have an ! at the front meaning iTunes cannot locate the song.

    Do you mean that you have you music and your Mom's music in the library and you do not want to listen to her music?
    Create a new playlist (File -> New playlist).
    Drag the songs you like form the library to this new playlist.
    Click on this playlist and press Play to play only the music on this playlist.
    Do the same for your Mom's music.

  • How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

    How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

    For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution.  The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
    After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out.  Click on "Show Menu Bar."  On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top).  Click on View and then Show Side Bar.  There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
    Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
    The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd). 

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • Can't add songs to Iphone 4S

    I cannot add songs to my Iphone 4S unless i buy through itunes. I RIP songs from my cds and they go to my library but when i drag to my iphone, it won't allow me to do so. It has that big red circle with the line through it. I connected my ipod and i was allowed to drag and add songs to that. Any ideas why I can't add songs to iphone 4S ???

    Thanks, I will try restoring my phone. And no, I haven't updated to the newest version of itunes yet. Just haven't been on the computer in awhile. I will do that A.S.A.P. Thanks for the reply!!

  • I can't add songs to playlists

    For some reason I can't add songs to a playlist, whether it's by the new drag & drop feature or even right click & add to playlists.  Song's just aren't being added.

  • Can I add photo stream albums to SkyDrive

    Can I add photo stream albums to my SkyDrive albums?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos in the camera roll are those which (in most cases) are taken on the device, the photostream album contains photos which have been synced from photostream in the cloud, which can include photos from your camera roll as well as from other devices using photostream. Photostream photos can be lower resolution than the same photos in the camera roll.
    Photos in photostream can be edited and saved to other albums.

    Hey Adel Andic,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. If your music is already in iTunes, all you have to do is sync your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac by following these instructions, and you should be able to easily get your music on there:

  • Ipod synched to only one library at a time - can not add songs?

    I initially loaded my shuffle with songs on a friends computer. Now I want to add more songs to it but if I plug it into a different computer in itunes I get an error message that says my ipod is synced with another library, it can only be synced with one so my only option is to delete my ipod and sync with the new library? (my friends computer crashed months ago so there is no option of getting those songs or going back to that computer to change my settings) I do not want to delete my ipod and start over. Is this specific to the shuffle because I know people who have plugged ipods into other friend's computers to add songs? Has anyone else had this problem and do you know how to fix it? Thanks!

    It's specific to the shuffle and is supposed to prevent (easy) theft of music.
    Advising you how to circumvent this is actually against the terms of use of this forum...HOWEVER (from the very fine "iPod shuffle Features Guide:")
    Important:
    Once you’ve synced iPod shuffle with the iTunes library on a computer, a
    message appears whenever you connect iPod shuffle to another computer, asking if
    you want to sync with the iTunes library on the new computer. Click Cancel if you want
    to keep the current music content on iPod shuffle. Or, click Transfer Purchases to keep
    the contents on iPod shuffle and copy the purchased songs on it to the iTunes library
    on the new computer. See iTunes Help for more information.

  • Can't add cover to albums

    Now first off all, I apologize for the english and spelling, but i am from Denmark.
    Second off all i have problems in itunes with some of the albums.
    I simply can't add album artwork to the the album, not even manually.
    Now these pictures should explain what I mean:
    I've got this album and have added a lot off data and this is not the only album, but!
    I can't add the album cover. I go in to see the information about the songs and see:
    I can't get acces to the artwork option/fan.
    Someone who can help?

    Well I found the answer elsewhere outside of this Apple forum.
    You cannot add cover art unless all of the files in the album are MP3.
    This brings up another problem because my iTunes preferences are set up such that the MP3 encoder converts music files to MP3.
    However, apparently this function is not working consistently, and sometimes it converts WAV to MP3 and sometimes it doesn't.

  • Can't add songs to iTunes 10.4.1

    Previously, I was able to add songs to iTunes by directly dragging files from any location to any iTunes playlist or the general Music section and this would automatically add the new songs to my library.
    After the 10.4.1 update, I can no longer drag songs into iTunes to add to the library.
    Attempting to drag and drop crashes iTunes (beach ball appears and I have to force quit).
    The only way to add songs is to use the "automatically add to..." folder nested in the iTunes Media folder.
    This makes adding songs a much longer process because I have to copy the files into the designated folder and wait for iTunes to automatically add them to the library.
    Previously, when I was able to drag new files into a playlist and the files would be copied to the library's main directory, it made it easier to see—right away—the new files added to the library via the playlist, instead of having to deal with smart playlists.
    Does anyone have this problem?
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I have tried reinstalling iTunes already.

    My problem originated from the fact that I have upgraded to LION.
    My old Itunes library was still saved in a folder called previous systemd. (wel done software devellopers).
    I have dived up my iTunes books and refreshed my knowledge and now in advanced settings of itunes specified the path to the library in this folder and have my whole 63 gig library back.
    I have also a new program called PowerTunes and with this program I can make iTunes finding every music file or folder on my computer.So instead of me adding things in Itunes which for some reason is difficult now I let my new program find every piece of music ever installed on any dik connected to my computer.

  • How to "manually add songs" only

    A few simple steps to manually manage your music in your iTunes so that your manually add songs to your iPod (provided the song amount, i.e. the Gb used, is less than the storage capacity of the touch device used).
    Step 1.
    Create a playlist and drag every song into the playlist you wish to be on your iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 2.
    Return to the music section in iTunes and press "cmd" and "select" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to unselect all songs.
    Step 3.
    Return to the playlist and press "cmd" and "select" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to select all songs in the playlist.
    [Note in doing step 2 followed by step 3, only the songs in the playlist are checked in the music section]
    Step 4.
    Return to the music section and sort by checked songs
    Step 5.
    Select all the checked songs and drag them onto the iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 6.
    Return to the music section in iTunes and press "cmd" and "select" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to select all songs.
    [Now what you have is only the songs you want on your device and all the songs will show up in the manually added songs section on your device. Also by reclicking all the music in your iTunes library you avoid the unnecessary complications of songs not playing/transferring while listening to music on your computer]
    A bit time consuming but it works well who like to carefully manage their library.

    Hi Chris,
    I will delete this thread and repost with correct terminology to avoid confusion. Also I will include the rationale behind why you would take this approach so that people can choose to see whether they will benefit from it. I'd have liked this to exist prior so I can manage my music statistics.
    Your way is right also, but is not the only way to do it and is certainly not the correct way for me. You don't "manage" your music your way.
    A few simple steps to manually manage your music in your iTunes so that your manually add songs to your iPod (provided the song amount, i.e. the Gb used, is less than the storage capacity of the touch device used).
    Reason: This is a good approach (not the only approach might I add) if you wish for your playcount to be tracked and a failsafe way of managing your songs individually so you do not need to rely on playlists.
    Step 1.
    Create a playlist and drag every song into the playlist you wish to be on your iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 2.
    Return to the music section in iTunes and press "cmd" and click on the "touchpad" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to unselect all songs.
    Step 3.
    Return to the playlist and press press "cmd" and click on the "touchpad" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to select all songs in the playlist.
    [Note in doing step 2 followed by step 3, only the songs in the playlist are checked in the music section]
    Step 4.
    Return to the music section and sort by checked songs
    Step 5.
    Select all the checked songs and drag them onto the iPod/iTouch/iPhone.
    Step 6.
    Return to the music section in iTunes and press "cmd" and click on the "touchpad" at the same time on one of the 'ticks' to select all songs.

  • How can i add songs to my ipod touch???????

    apparently apple has done another update, and a whole revamp of the original layout and i can not find ANYTHING any more. updates dont work and it says my 2000 pictures are gone and my 500 songs show as only 1 song.....which is the ONE new song i just added. what the heck did they do????? how can i upload anything?????
    I promise you i will NEVER EVER buy anything from apple ever again. This has been my first and final purchase because they seem to make it soooooo overly complicated that i just want to smash the machine to bits and go buy something else.....which is in the very near future. I can get a $50 mp3 touch screen player with 32GB through walmart right now that does EVERYTHING this ipod touch does and if it breaks WHO CARES IT WAS $50!!!! Unlike the $400 i spent on this piece of crap. But the best feature on the cheap walmart one is the ability to use it and understand it!!!
    So for now, because i am giving this pos to my son to play with all he wants, how do i get it to add songs?????
    Thank you.
