Can't manually add some podcasts to iphone

I've set my itunes to manually drag/drop podcasts to my 3G iPhone. Recently it's not let me add certain podcasts, without rhyme or reason. For instance, I can add the 8/30 episode of a show, but it won't let me add the 8/29 episode. I'm using my g4 Powerbook using 10.4.11, I think the problem started when I installed the latest iTunes update. This problem continues even after updating my iPhone with the 2.0.1 update.

Yeah, I was having the same problem. I called Apple and the tech guy said it had something to do with iTunes 8. Anyway, if you go to the iPhone summary page in iTunes, then click on the podcasts tab, you can have the podcasts sync automatically. That will at least get the recent ones on there, although it doesn't actually fix the not being able to drag problem. Be warned that it will delete all non-synced podcasts from the iPhone though, so if you've got a bunch of stuff you want to keep, make sure you have copies elsewhere.

Manually add some photos to iPhone from mac

Hi all,
Now I want to manually add some photos to iPhone from mac (no iTunes syncing) just drag from mac to iphone
Q: how do I do this? Is there way to use image capture app in reverse (send to iPhone from mac) ?

You can't just drag the photos or use Image Capture in reverse. I do it using iTunes but there are other methods such as PhotoStream or using a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com

How can I solve these stupid restrictions?

Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?

Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?
What if you are on a trip and forgot your Ipod. It would be great to be able to add lost data. or even edit the Ipod data on the Nike + website

Hi Hrbrmstr,
That will be very cool if you can create an xml file
that will allow us to add runs and edit runs on the
Nike+ site! The trick may be getting past the server
dragon which sends out a warning saying, "Your
workout data could not be sent to nikeplus.com
because the data could not be accepted by the server"
when it does not like the data it is sent.
For example, my runs that did not post had something
in common: when I read these xml files with TextEdit,
both have a line that says,
"<stepCounts><walkBegin>0</walkBegin>". There's also
a line that tracks steps run. It also said zero. Of
course, these lines should NOT read zero, because I
was not starting at zero steps! My guess is that this
anomaly makes the Nike+ server either reject or
delete these runs because the step count does not fit
my other runs.
Well, I'll leave this stuff to someone who knows more
than I. Glad you're here.
For jackt123, the longer is answer to your question
is that certain things that are not doable now may be
doable in the future. Stay tuned.
I just got the dragon today. "Your workout data could not be sent to Nikeplus because iTunes received an unexpected response from the server. Please try again later." Did you ever find out why this happened to you? I went on nikeplus and it did in fact upload my latest run. Now my goals are blank on nikeplus.

Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

I can't manually add podcasts to my ipod classic...

I recently updated my itunes to the newest version. Since then, for no apparent reason, I've not been able to manually add podcasts to my ipod (which is an ipod classic 80GB 6th gen). I can sync all podcasts from my itunes but this is extremely inconvenient for me, as I don't have much space on my computer to store all the music podcasts I want to keep. I have checked for updates and scanned my ipod, neither has shown anything up...
PLEASE HELP!!

Presumably, since you were manually managing, you were not using Sync to manage your Podcasts prior to the update. Check the Podcasts pane of the device (when the iPod is connected to iTunes, look on the Podcast pane/tab), you should notice that the *Sync Podcasts* is turned on, which will prevent you from using manually manage. So turn it off.

Can't manually add songs/video

So I've read the help file, which says to go to the "Summary" tab and select "Manually manage music and video" or something like that.
The only problem is, no such button or checkbox or anything exists on the Summary tab, or anywhere else that I've been able to find.
Truly, this is why I hate iTunes, and I was reluctant to buy an iPhone because of it. It's ridiculous that all I want to do is a few simple things that are easily done on non-Apple products, but with iTunes, there always seems to be something that makes the process painfully tedious.
So, IS there a way to manually add songs and video?? Or must I put EVERY song and video on my computer on my iPhone, or else none at all?

It's great that you've found this forum, and a quick search would have found the answer. Make a playlist, put the songs you want to put on your iphone in the playlist, sync that playlist to your phone. Anytime you want to change what's on your phone, just change what's in the playlist, then sync. Add tunes, remove tunes, whatever you want. It all works through the playlist.
If you find this process so tedious, consider that if you have different devices you might want them to have different tunes on each of them. Playlists accomplish this brilliantly. You can even have several playlists for different kinds of things, and sync multiple lists to your different devices. For example, if you've got some audiobooks, some tunes, some movies, etc., you can make separate lists for each kind, and sync only the lists you want to any of your devices.

Why can I not add certain "files to iPhone because iTunes match enable on this iPhone?"

I have some files on my computer I tried to transfer to my iPhone 3GS. They are mp3s of talks/lectures. No copyright issues. But iTunes tells me that they cannot be added because I have iTunes match enabled on that phone. Any ideas?

iTunes says these files are not eligible for iCloud. So I can't upload them. They are not songs. I've turned iTunes Match off both on my computer and my iPhone. Still cannot add them to my iPhone. Not sure what to do beyond this.

Can you manually add songs to iCloud if Match doesn't do so?

I subscribed to iTunes Match because I'm a sucker for better quality audio files and there are a handful of files that have a "!" cloud next to them and then others with a "/" cloud next to them.
I know for a fact that a lot of the songs with a "!" cloud are not in the iTunes store, because they're mostly Classical music files that I threw onto my computer.
The songs with a "/" cloud are questionable, though, because a lot of those songs were purchased thru the iTunes store and they're not being recognized -- when I try to re-convert those files to MP3s, there are copyright protections preventing me from doing so.
So what I'm basically asking the community is: Is there a way you can manually add files to iCould that aren't matched thru the Match process?

I don't know if this is an easy fix or not but it seemed to fix for me. I was having difficulty seeing album artwork on my iPhone after I already updated it on iTunes. Once I updated iTunes Match, the album artwork would revert back to the original artwork or no artwork at all. This is what I did to fix that problem, a lot of which is probably unnecessary but whatever:
1. Disable iTunes Match from your mobile device under Settings > Music > iTunes Match
2. Power "Off" your mobile device
3. Open iTunes
4. Turn "Off" iTunes Match on your computer
5. Update your album artwork manually (I suggest finding the album artwork on Google Images or thru Amazon.com).
6. Update any other information necessary (i.e. album name, artist, composer, etc.).
7. Close iTunes entirely
8. Re-Open iTunes
9. Turn "On" iTunes Match on your computer
10. Allow access for your computer to activate iTunes Match
11. Update iTunes Match
12. Power "On" your mobile device
13. Enable iTunes Match from your mobile device under Settings > Music > iTunes Match
14. Your iTunes library should maintain any changes you made and it will be reflected both on iTunes and on your mobile device
If anyone else tries this, let me know if it works for you as well!

you appear to have missed a quotation mark right at the end of this statement, i've highlighted it in red.
a brief check over, you seem to be doing everything correctly, my bet would be that you've made a simple mistake in your syntax like i mentioned above, you'll just have to check through it thoroughly.
if it still doesn't work, i'd suggest cutting it down in size, try to add one field and get that working. Once it does, build it up from there testing each time and see when it goes wrong.
i think i've already mentioned to you that i have an example app here that adds information to a database:
http://www.mattlefevre.com/viewExample.php?tut=flexPHP&proj=Simple%20Login%20Application
i'd recommend going back to that if you still can't get it to work, as i know that's working fine

Can't manually add album artwork through iTunes 10.5 on an iPhone 4s

Ok, heres the deal - (and this is a weird one)
I have iTunes 10.5, windows xp and a new iPhone 4s. I am missing multiple album covers so I just find high-res ones on google and save them in preparation of manually adding them to the album via iTunes. The way I do this (and have always done this) is by highlighting the whole album, right clicking and going to 'get info'. Then I go the bottom right corner where it says "Artwork" and double click to open the folder of all my highres album covers. I then choose the correct album and click on 'open'. The artwork box stays BLANK no matter how many times I choose a cover and open it. So then I wait for it to sync the non-cover to the iphone...which doesnt work because its not syncing anything but it thinks it is. I then have to DO THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN to make it work. Generally it finally takes the album cover after the 2nd time. Generally.
Now heres the thing, sometimes it just hangs up on the title at the top of the screen, the status bar. It just says "Updating Files On 'Derek's iPhone' ("preparing to update" is the sub text) with the little candycane status bar running across. It may do this and hang for a good 3 minutes EACH TIME!
So I have to go through multiple albums, one by one, manually syncing album covers 2 times in a row since it never works the first time and hope that it doesnt hang too long and just time out, which it has done multiple times before. If it doesnt work the first 2 times, then I'll try 3 or 4 times but then it will just time out, not saying any error or anything but it just wont transfer the album artwork. I'll look at my phone and the cover is still blank!
The only way around this, that I've found, is quit iTunes and unplug the phone and start the whole process over again for EVERY. ALBUM. and btw, I have about 40 albums to do this to.
So all this music came from cd's a while ago, I just dont want to pay for the iTunes version JUST to get the album cover since I already have the music.
At this rate, it would take me a few months of non-stop syncing to finish.
And on top of THAT, a few weeks back I made some serious headway on this and almost got finished to the "S" albums (listed alphabetically), checked my phone, all the covers were there. Then about a week later, plugged my phone back in and noticed that AAAALLLL the work I did in the past was GONE! I had to start over from the "G" albums. And thats where I'm at now...
Please help
P.S. - Of course I've already tried "get album artwork"..duh, it doesnt work. It doesnt get the right covers or horrible versions or low res or MOST times, it just says it can't find any

I am currently having the same problem. I have an ipod touch and yesterday I finally updated to 10.5. For starters, after the update, all of the songs were gone, so I manually had to re-add them. I have about 5 CD albums on my PC that I ripepd and then added to my ipod, and about 3/5 I never had album cover issues with. But upon plugging in my ipod again today, the album covers were gone for ALL of the CDs. On top of that, when I manually change the "info" on some songs, it is updated on itunes, but not on my Ipod!

Can't manually add an Mp3 to my daughter's 1st gen iPhone using my iTunes

I want to bring an MP3 file into my daughter's phone, one that can't be purchased on iTunes. I want to do this by managing her iPhone manually on my machine, which of course is set to sync with my iPhone, not hers. I'm running Windows 7. I've tried it 2 ways.
1. In iTunes, when I click the Summary tab, and under Options choose "Manually manage music and videos", I get an iTunes dialog with the message "The iPhone '[My daughter's phone]' is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" The buttons available are "Erase and Sync" and "Cancel". Obviously I want to choose Cancel because I don't want her phone syncing on my machine. (Or can iTunes handle multiple iPhones on one account? Hers is on my account.)
When I click "Cancel" I get another iTunes dialog with the message. "The iPhone '[My daughter's iPhone]' is synced with another photo library or folder. Do you want to sync with the selected folder and replace all existing photos and albums on this iPhone with those from the selected folder?". Choices are Yes and No.
This time I click No.
When I click her iPhone on iTunes under DEVICES, then click Music, the choices are all disabled. NO way to drag and drop MP3 into the music list from Windows Explorer.
2. I import the MP3 into iTunes (successfully), then try to drag it from my library onto her phone's list under DEVICES.
When I click her iPhone on iTunes under DEVICES, then click Music, the choices are again all disabled as above. No way to drag and drop from my library into her iPhones music directory.
How, then, can I import an MP3 to my daughter's iPhone using my iTunes on my machine? I have read the iPhones iTunes documentation thoroughly and this issue is not addressed.

Iphone will sync manually manage/access music from ONE computer at a time.
You cannot add content from two different machines.
You can copy the song to her computer and then sync to iphone from there.
If you sync to a different computer, then all music on the iphone will be erased and replaced with music from the new computer.

I can no longer manually add music to my iPhone from iTunes; what happened?

Recently I have been unable to add new music to my iPhone from iTunes. I used to be able to just select the songs I wanted, then drag and drop them onto to the phone by hovering over the iPhone icon. Now I get a crossed-out circle icon when I try to do this. Why is this happening, and how can I work around it? I'm pretty frustrated, as you can imagine!

Thanks for the judgmental response, Dave. My favorite part was where you told me how to manage the space on my computer. My second favorite part was when you accused me to stealing music.
I have only synced my iPhone with one computer and its iTunes library. I download music legally to that computer, from mixtape sites, Bandcamp, Amazon and---GASP---other none iTunes sites, load it onto my iPhone, then delete some of it, because I don't listen to music on my computer. I listen to it on a device I purchased to play it. That device is called an iPhone. It's supposed to play mp3s.
Have I blown your mind?
But if I am hearing you right, you are telling me the iPhone is literally the only mp3 player in existence that doesn't and shouldn't have the basic functionality to have new mp3s loaded to it from a single authorized computer. That I should be happy now that I cannot load new music onto it, and I should just live with the music that I have already loaded, since I can't load anymore.
And that I should be happy that this basic functionality that, until the most recent software update, I have always had has magically disappeared.
How foolish it was of me to be upset about this! Thank you for showing me the light, Dave.

Can not manually add podcast to iPod, help?

When I'm in the iTunes (4.5) podcast library it does not manually let me drag ones I have downloaded to my iPod podcast list. What do I need to do to make this work? and I do have it set to manual...

Note the that iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
You can copy media from the iPod to the your computer by:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
However the greyed songs may be corrupted files and may not be recoverable.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
