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!

HT5649 how can you add a previous playlist from a different apple Id both belong to the same person

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.

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.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

A Smart Playlist has this icon in iTunes 11:
and this icon in earlier versions:

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

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.

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

When I click on add to playlist, it gives me a selection of my playlists but I can't choose any of them! Clicking on them doesn't do anything.
However I can add the song to a new playlist, but only one song..

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,

HT1451 can't copy files to playlist

I just installed the newest version of Itunes (11.1.4.62). Now I can't add songs to playlists. I tried creating a new playlist which works, but to add songs to it, when I try to drag and drop anything into the playlist it doesn't work. I opened up old playlists and tried to add/modify them as well and that doesn't seem to work either.
Steps:
1) Click on 'playlists'
2) Select (click on) the playlist I want to modify
3) In the top right hand corner, click on 'add to'
4) The playlist opens and it says 'to create a playlist drag songs, albums and artists here'
5) When I select a song on the left hand side and try to drag it into my playlist nothing happens
Help??

Turn on the sidebar with CTRL+S.

My windows PCM has iTunes 11.0.4.4. I created a new playlist in iTunes and wanted to add it to my iPod nano. When I tried to add the new playlist iTunes wanted to wipeout all of my other playlists before it would allow me to sync! Help!

I don't want to lose my playlist already on the iPod so I won't click the sync box because it will delete all my lists. How can I add a new playlist without losing the others? Can it be done?

You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.
Select File > Transfer Purchases.
This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

How can I add a playlist without deleting the songs I already have on my iphone. It wont let me drag

This is driving me mad. I simply want to add a new playlist to my iphone but a message says that when I beging syncing it will delete my previous songs. I obviously dont want this to happen. In addition, I cant just add these new songs by dragging as it wont allow me to do it. Please help

Hi there. Not sure how to get to where I can ask you a question so I just jumped in here. Hope thats ok with you.
You seem extremely knowledgeable with solutions to all kinds of questions,
My problem is I tried to add a playlist from Itunes to my Iphone (5) and it will not add it. I have been doing this for years with all my Iphones and this is the first time its happened. I still have room to add them, so cannot understand what I am doing wrong.
I would really appreciate any help you could offer, thanks in advance!
