Can't add songs

I just upgraded to I-Tunes 10 on my new PC running win 7. I can't drag and drop tracks into playlists. If I double click a song it will load and play in from my library, at which point I can move it into other playlists. Strange, stupid, and confusing as only Windows can be. I already right click my music folders to check permissions, dosen't help. Any suggestions? Thanks : )

Oh what the **** - can't drag and drop onto my music folder on my iPOD - it has to be added to the iPOD folder on the left side menu - at least i figured out how to bypass it...
now just to figure out how to get my artwork to show up...

  • 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

    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:

  • How can I add songs from my internal library to my external backup library without losing ratings and comments?

    Hi, I have some 30.000 Songs in my constantly growing internal library and another 25k in my external backup library. I noticed that I lost all my ratings when fusing my libraries the last time.
    As ratings and comments are essential for my work as a radio dj: How can I fuse libraries or add songs from my internal to my external library and keep ratings and comments and: How can I make sure, iTunes adds ratings and comments from songs I still have in my internal library to the same songs (without ratings and comments) in my external library? Thanks a lot for your help!

    I use http://decimus.net/Synk to keep my iMac's iTunes synchronized with the backup iTunes folder on an external disk.  Any changes I make are automatically synced to the backup.  You might find it useful.

  • My computer where my itunes library is stored is no longer accessible.  how can i add songs to my ipod nano without losing the songs already on it.

    The computer where i have my itunes library is no longer accessible.  How can I add new songs to my  Ipod nano without losing the song already on it?

    You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • 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 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.

  • I can only add songs to itunes library, not directly to my ipod.

    When I try & add a song to my ipod, nothing happens. I've tried drag & drop, add file...
    & in Summary, I have checked Manually manage music & all the other boxes.
    Why can't I add songs to my ipod directly?

    Okay, never mind. I unchecked the 2nd box. :/ Doh...

  • 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.

    I'd suggest restoring it to make sure you start completely clean:

  • 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?

  • Can't add songs- memory not full

    Um...i downloaded the new version of itunes and it is installed on my computer. however, when i go to add songs to my ipod from my library it says that my software is too old and i need tp upgrade. (but i just did) what do i do?

    Perhaps it means your iPod's software needs updating? This can be especially important if you are adding/syncing iTMS purchased music files.
    Make sure that you have the latest iPod Updater software
    - Download the Update Installer to your PC (do not run it from the web site).
    - Place the file on the Desktop, or in a Folder you can remember/find.
    - You also need to install the Updater software by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
    - After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
    - After rebooting, run the Updater.
    --- Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
    - It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
    - Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
    --- Choose the Update option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version.
    --- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version and format (erase) your iPod's hard drive.
