Can't add to ANY playlist?

Again after having a system restore I re-downloaded Itunes and I was able to extract the music from my Ipod Nano onto my computer and load the songs into Itunes, even thous some of them have different names or the titles have been deleted.  However now I'm unable to move any songs into the playlists I've recreated.  If I drag them, I get the red circle with a line through it and the folder won't highlight.  If I right click and try to add, the only option is *show in playlist* and mine are not one of the selections. And I also can't open the playlist and add any songs to it.  So what am I doing wrong?

Not even a red-crossed circle while dragging it?
Which type of Playlist are you trying to add these songs to?
You can only add songs manually to a Regular Playlist. This can be done by dragging a song in to the list or by right-clicking a song and choosing Add to Playlist from the drop-down menu.
You cannot add songs manually to a Smart Playlist. Songs are added to Smart Playlists by iTunes, if the song meets the rules for that Playlist.
Also, you cannot add songs to a Playlist Folder. You can drag both types of Playlist into a Playlist folder

    how can you add a previous playlist form a different apple ID, both belong to the same person

    It's ok to share the same AppleID for iTunes.  Use Separate ID's for iCloud, iMessage, and Facetime.

    this is what happens when i try to add/modify the infos and it doesn't work, i'm even unable to click in the spaces
    thanks for your attention,sorry for the bad english

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

  • Can't add to collaborative playlist

    I am trying to use the collaborative playlist feature for the first time. I made my playlist collaborative and sent the link to a freind. When she clicks on the link she goes to a URL on play.spotify.com and she can see the playlist but can't add to it. 
    She then made a playlist, made it collaborative and sent me her link. The same thing happens. I click the link, go to a play.spotify.com URL but can't figure out how to add to her playlist. 
    When I open my spotify app, I can not figure out how to see the collaborative playlist she sent me. 
    I am a premium user, signed in with facebook
    she is a free user, signed in withou facebook
    Plese hlep! We need to finish this playlist inthe next few days!
    Thank you. 

    Hey  -- welcome to the Community!
    If it's the first time you're using collaborative playlists, you might not know that you have to be Following it to be able to add it. As soon as you're Following it, you should be able to add tracks to it as you do any other playlist.
    If it's still not working though, try it in the desktop app, either by changing the URl to "open.spotify.com" rather than "play.spotify.com" in the address bar, or head into the web player settings and change links to open automatically in the desktop app.
    Hope that helps!

    I am having a similar problem, however, I can add things to the dock, just not remove most of them. Tried killall Dock, restarting dock and restoring defaults with several third party apps, and searching the net for other ideas, but to no avail. With these efforts, I have not managed to get dock back to peak performance, but have added three of the same stack (recent applications) without any desire to do so. Help.

  • I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get new computer.  My library is still there and the playlists show and I can even add to my playlists. But as soon as it goes to sync it says it can't find all the songs that used to be there.

    I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get a new computer.  They all appear in my library and show in my playlists.  I can even download new songs from the itunes store to those playlists but when it syncs only the new songs go on the ipod.  It says it can't find any of my "old" songs and puts an exclamation mark beside them.  I am clueless when it comes to these things.  Advice please!  We have three ipods on this account trying to figure it out.

    You can only sync to one computer.
    You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
    Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

  • Logged in but can't get in any playlists!

    I installed a completely CLEAN installation of Windows 7 on my pc. After this install I did not install iTunes directly, since I already hate the program due to lack of logics in it, or even it being unable to do as I want. (including leaving my carefully sorted files where they are!) But now this problem is getting even so big that I can NOT get any playlist opened at all! I installed iTunes today (clean install), I been trying to get it working for at least 7 hours now without any success.
    I have this since I have this iTouch series 1, so this problem keeps bugging me. And now i can't do anything at all! I can create a new playlist and a new smart playlist, but thats as far as iTunes let's me. I can NOT see anything besides a default message with 2 options when I click that new playlist:
    "Playlist"
    "Burn music on CD" - "share with others"
    (rough translation from Dutch)
    So I only see these things and NOT the music within the playlist that should be there. Meaning I am unable to sink my playlist on my iTouch, making it no more then a very expansive useless toy. Yes I logged in, but this seems to be pointless as well. No changes in this either.
    I tried using my Winamp playlists and import those, since Winamp is my main player. Works great and playlist making is easy and quick. No useless toys that I don't need/want attached. But since Winamp is not able to sinc the playlist with the iTouch to my knowlage, I can't use that program to do that. Playlists generated by Winamp also do the same as the iTunes generated playlists, show nothing more then that there is a playlist name.
    Im seriously getting angry here and fed-up with this, is there anyone that can help me out? Or am I forced (yet again) to pay for something that never worked for me in the first place? =( (which will force me to see a lawyer I guess). I just had it with iTunes and how Apple thinks they should treat their customers, I had nothing but missery with both my iTouch as iTunes so far =*( The Apple-stores are not much help either, tried 2 so far. But only thing I got is the same problems after their "help".
    Can anyone please help me figure this out please?

  • 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.

  • Can't add songs to playlists on iphone

    Don't just copy the songs. Copy the entire iTunes library.
    You need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from PC and replace /Music/iTunes/ on new computer.

  • Can't add songs to playlist

    Hi everyone,

  • Anyone know why I can't edit my app screen when I plug in my 3g iphone now?  I can edit all the other tabs, but my app tab is all grayed out and I can't add/edit any apps now.  Please help?

    Just last week, I plugged in my iphone 3g into iTunes and for some reason I can't edit my apps anymore.  All the other tabs (music, video, etc.) are all fine, but my apps tab/screen is all grayed out.  I can't edit any of my apps now.  What's the deal?  I can't seem to find anything similar on the support pages, so I'm desperate to find out what the deal is...please help!

    Yes, it's checked as it's how I left it when I was able to edit the page before...now the whole tab is just grayed out and I can't check or uncheck anything. Nothing happens. So frustrated...thanks for any help or suggestions.  I have multiple devices on my account and this is the only one that this is happening with when I connect to iTunes. Ugh!

  • I can't add appointments any longer by clicking mail attachments in apple mail (ics file), as I always get an error message in iCal

    I get the following error message: The server responded with an error. https://p04-caldav.icloud.com:443/74673213/principal/ is not a location that supports this request. I can either Go Offline (appointment is added, but not to iCloud calendar) or Revert to Server (appointment is deleted).

    Very interesting. It was written for doc type files: "OpenOffice Writer (defined)". (I made a translation maybe it is "default" in English version). Then i make it use another program and choose "Open Office Writer". Now it says OpeOffice Writer but no definer (or default) and it is working. Thank you very much Gnospen.
