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.

    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.

  • 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!!

    how can l add song from mac itunes to my phone

    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:

    Hello Carpathianna,
    No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

  • Can't add songs to playlists in iTunes 9

    Is anyone else having this problem in iTunes 9? I can't drag any songs into any playlists (existing or newly created). I can, however, delete songs from playlists.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    I was adding songs to my iPod playlist and not even 2 minutes in to the task I could no longer drag and drop songs into ANY of my playlists. I could just as easily right-click and the songs would go without problem.
    I've just got off the phone with Apple Support and all he had me do was download the most recent security update. I believe the only reason I was asked to do with was so my Macbook would not just restart, but also refresh all of the apps as well.
    So far so good. KMFC.

  • How can I get songs from iPhone into iTunes

    okay so on my old computer (and on my iphone now) i had/have around 1000 songs in my itunes from various websites, around half of these are free downloads of independant artists and things like that, so not purchased in itunes. the other half i did purchase. my old computer broke, so i can't get to any of the non purchased songs, besides from my phone. i transferred all my purchases into my new computers itunes so around 450 of my songs i can access, but the rest are only on my phone. itunes keeps prompting me to erase and sync but that would get rid of all the non purchased songs on my phone so they would basically be lost forever, right? i know they want me to do that to protect against illegal downloads and things like that but this stuff isn't downloaded illegally! is there anything i can do to get my music on this computer or am i basically screwed? also i've tried downloading a few free tracks from various websites (again, legally)... they are showing up in my itunes library but every time i try to drag them onto my phone it doesn't work. my computer is authorized and i've tried everyhting else i can think of... can anyone help? i have windows 8 and my itunes and iOS are both updated fully, if that makes any difference. thanks!

    The iphone//ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    There is no free, or Apple supported,  way to extract any other music.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    Iphone sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the content of the new computer.

  • Can't add webmail to iphone 3GS

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to add my work email to my iphone. I am able to access webmail from my iphone using safari.
    To logon with webmail I go to my company outlook webmail website eg: https:\\mail.mywork.ca
    Then log on with my username: JSmith
    and password ******
    No problem
    BUT when I try to add the mail to my iphone (in settings, add account, microsoft exchange), I am unable to connect. Here is what I've tried
    email: [email protected]
    domain: mywork
    username: jsmith
    password: ***
    server: https://mail.mywork.ca
    I get message "exhange account verification failed"
    I've tried a bunch of different combinations for the server (after spending hours searching for solutions):
    mail.mywork.ca
    mail.mywork.ca/exchange
    https://mail.mywork.ca
    Can anyone help me find a solution?
    Thanks

    I venture to say it is not.
    RIM has not licensed ActiveSync from Microsoft for use with a Blackberry as Apple has done for the iPhone and with Snow Leopard on a Mac.
    RIM has a dedicated email delivery service for the Blackberry with your company using Blackberry Enterprise Service on the Exchange Server for Blackberry access, which costs your company extra on an annual basis. ActiveSync doesn't cost your company anything extra, which is included with Exchange Server software.
    Not sure why you don't want to involve the IT Dept. unless you are trying to sneak this by, which is impossible. Unless it is against company policy to access a company Exchange account via ActiveSync with a personal device or with a personal computer at home, this shouldn't be a problem. You must involve the IT Dept. to ensure that ActiveSync is enabled at the Exchange Server for your account.

  • 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?

  • Can i add an additional iphone to my itunes account and how?

    can I add an additional Iphone on my itunes account or can i have multiple itunes accounts on my computer?  thanks, sd

    You can do both. Adding a second iPhone is no more complicated than adding the first; you can also have multiple iTunes libraries on a computer and content from multiple iTunes Store accounts in a library. If a library contains protected content from more than five iTunes Store accounts, you may run into trouble when syncing.

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?
