Can't place music manually in correct genre

Hi,
Within the music library you have several tabs like "genre, albums, artists,..."
My problem specificly is that some songs i have are in my opinion placed in the wrong genre, tho i cant find a way to place them into the genre i want it in.
I can click and drag the song from electronic to, for example, electronic but it's not moving. It doesn't do anything when i release after i dragged it to electronic. It stays in dance.
Also is it possible to add my own genre name, like techno for example? Can't find a way either to do that. I'm not talking about playlists here. I just wanne organize my songs/albums into the right genre section.
Thx!

If you right mouse click on a song or album and select Get Info you set the Genre using the drop down box at the bottom of the window. If you want to add your own specific Genre just type it in. Click OK when done. The new Genre is then available in the dropdown list for other tracks

HT1535 Is there a workaround when I can't 'manage' music manually w/erase & sync prompt?

I'm trying to put music from iTunes on my wife's iPhone 4S. I've checked 'manually manage' but when I click 'apply,' I get the erase-and-sync prompt. She doesn't want to lose whatever is on her phone. Is there a workaround for getting the music on there? Thanks.

As I said, all software has been updated - I just hadn't updated my OS listing in my discussions profile.
My Touch works just fine, I'm just limited to managing music in my general library in iTunes then syncing it - can't manage music within the iPod in iTunes - I can see it, but can't manage it.

Can only sync music manually!!!

When I try to automatically update songs from the library I get an error message saying the file can't be read - I restored the ipod and tried again - same deal! Switched to manual and it works ok, I can even do around twenty songs at once manually, but sometimes it stops and gives the same error message. If I try again it seems to work...this is driving me nuts!!! Any ideas?

Thanks for that info...I did find that document on the support site and had already tried most stuff on there - BUT I did not know that I had a USB2 port (faster data transfer?) on the back of the computer which seemed to work fine. I had been connecting to a USB1 port at the front! Problem seems to be solved...but not until AFTER I transfered about 1500 files manually...d'oh!

How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes. When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load. [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to

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.
Cheers,

My wife can no longer transfer music from her library onto her iphone 3gs. When I click manage music manually it says she has another library, nothing has changed and everything is up to date. Help!

We have seperate profiles too, on our windows laptop, and seperate music libraries, and mine works fine... Managing music manually says she has another library connected, but this is simply not the case. When I check in preferences, it has the correct filepath... So now nothing from her library with transfer over. Using iTunes 11.01 but this happened on 11.

Why have Apple made this so bloody annoyingly complicated. She bought a downloader from the Apple store and downloaded music on her phone which I subsiquently downloaded to our laptop. I placed this music into the iTunes Folder. I even went ot the correct location to see if it was there, and it was! But now, nothing in her library will transfer, even purchased music. Clicking on the Manage Music Manually button only makes it say that she has more than one library and her phone will be wiped if she goes any further. What is the bloody story with iTunes!!? It looks lovely but works like something out of the dark ages. No wonder people are moving to Android in droves...
Anyway, any help, ideas or criticisms will be welcomed. Nothing I have tried (updates etc) has worked. I have checked the files in question, the format is fine, they even play in iTunes which means they must exist. I have physically checked this too, so what's the story???

I just to a new iphone5s, the headphones are not working correctly. I can hear the music but I can't pause or play with the button. Will apple replace them?

Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

Music in itunes from different cd's, how can i get it to have correct info?

1. I have over 2000 songs in itunes from different mixed cd's, how can I get them to have correct artist and album and titles?
2. How can I convert them all to mp3 because I have to be able to send them to windows media player because I have mp3 players that I would like to play these on along with my ipod?

I personally use TuneUp from http://www.tuneupmedia.com/
It works on both Mac and PC.
It is a great tool for correcting MetaData "Music Info" for all of your songs. It also adds the correct album artwork and can remove duplicate songs from your library easily.
iTunes on PC will convert the WMA to MP3 for you if you like. To do so just right click on your WMA files in iTunes and choose convert to MP3.
If you have already moved all of your music to Mac and no longer have a windows machine there are a couple of programs that will do it for you from Mac OS X. Some are free and some cost money. Let me know if you would like to know a couple of examples.

The billing address it's correct ! why we can't place any order for this address ? On the screen appear that the address is not correct !

Can I sync music and manually add movies?

This is harder than it seems. I want to sync my ipod to my music library, but still be able to add movies manually just like I can sync photos but manually add movies and music. I think I have the set up right because I got it to the point that I can drag a file into my ipod movies section and it copies onto it, but it is grayed out, so when my ipod updates like when i reconnect it, the movies are removed from my ipod. I just want to be able to add my videos to my ipod so i can get the off my computers hard drive and I still want to sync music. Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I see what you are saying, but as of now, it looks like you can only manually manage everything or automatically update everything. You can't mix and match.
I'd tell Apple you'd like this feature...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
There is a workaround though. Try it with a with a video you can easily replace though. (And know it is always good to have a backup of the videos only on your iPod as wiping your iPod is a common troubleshooting step should anything go wrong).
Put the video onto the iPod. Once it is, disconnect your iPod and make sure it works.
Now go into iTunes and right click the video you just transfered and go to show file. Drag that file to the Recycle Bin. Now try to play the video in iTunes. An ! should appear next to it. That's okay. Now update your iPod. The video should stay on the iPod even though it is not on your computer (as long as the name remains in iTunes).
If this works as advertised (;D), you can go ahead and do this. A couple of reminders though...
1) Make sure the videos are on the iPod first and work on the iPod before you delete any files.
2) Make sure you have backup up any videos you can't replace in case something happens to your iPod.

If I transferred music manually from a PC, why I can't do this from other pc now?

I added music to my iPhone manually managing but I changed my pc and see that the "Manually manage music and videos" box is unchecked, if I check that will I be able to add music manually from any pc? thanks

I decided to sync from now on, as you recommend, and I'm having some difficulties with songs that don't belong to any album or that has it's own album data cause I got only one song from that album, I have 2 albums with alone songs, so in the library I can't know which songs belong to one album and which to other, is there any path filter to know where are located filters and be able to know which album belongs to? thanks

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

HT1202 Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1?

Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1? The copy and paste AND drag and drop methods don't seem to work any more. Why does Apple make itunes so hard to use?

Thanks, but no dice. When I check Maunal manage, I get the dialog about erasing the phone and syncing to this computer. The only thing I can think of is to make sure my home machine is also set to manual sync. Although, I was able to manual sync just fine until I upgraded itunes to 11.0.1

Why is it that when I delete a song off my 4th generation I touch it will not allow me to add it again. I manage my music manually (no syncing). I can add a new song, but as soon as I delete it on my I touch, I can't put it back on.

I never heard of that problem before. I I can suggest is the stand fixes:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
