Can't put songs in order I want

My iTunes won't let me re-arrange the songs I have into the order I want. Also, it doesn't show what playlists I have on my iPod, only the playlists I have on my iTunes

First, go to Edit>Preferences>click the iPod tab>select Manually Manage Songs & click OK. Now you can drag & drop the playlists to the iPod icon under "My Library".
For re-arranging, I just use the track number function-select the album you want to change, right click on one of the songs & select Get Info. This brings up a page where you can change the track number and the number of tracks in the album (i.e. 5 of 13). Then just select Next instead of OK to change the other songs.

  • How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

    how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

  • I can't put songs from iTunes on my Mac onto iPod. iPod accepts podcasts but not songs.

Then i find what i want. I want to start buy a song "payphone" by maroon 5. Then i click " buy from itunes" . Then appears my itunes application n my apple store application. But there's no maroon 5. :-(

  • I can't put songs in my ipod

    i can't put songs in my ipod
    the song are already mp3

    Are you getting any error messages? How is your iPod set to update? If you are trying to drag songs to it make sure it's in manual update mode and not set automatically update.
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • HELP!!! VERY IMPORTANT! i can't put songs from my computer into my itunes!!

    this happens to me since last month,
    i uesed to downloaded some songs from other country, and it used to could put them into my iTunes,but since last month everytime i tried to put my downloaded songs into itunes, i didn't appear on the itunes screen and it doesn't appear on my iphone either. why?
    can't put songs into my itunes and my iphone really bothering me!!!
    please help.

    I was certainly not flaming anyone. I was asking specific clarifying questions in an attempt to assist someone who's description of the problem was inadequate for me (and apparently anyone else) to make any recommendations. Even your interpretation really doesn't give enough information to really be useful. The country from which a file is downloaded shouldn't be relevant. If it is, we need to figure out what's different about it.
    All in all, the post was kind of analogous to saying "My car used to work and now it doesn't". An accurate statement as far as it goes but not sufficient for a mechanic to even know where to start.
    I am looking forward to hearing your possible solution to the problem.
    Best of luck.

  • I can't put songs from my other computer on my ipod

    I have 2 computers in my home (the family one and mine) and my computer I have downloaded like 80% of my itunes music from, but the cd-rom doesn't work for some reason. I want to get my cds on my ipod too (itunes doesn't have most of the music I have in cds, so I can't rebuy them... don't want to either. I'm low on money) and the family computer doesn't let me put my imported music on there. When I plug it in the family computer, it gives me an option to keep the songs on my ipod that I already have on there and erase all the stuff that are on my ipod and use only that computer to put stuff on my ipod. If I use the first one, I can't put stuff from the family computer on there. What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!!!
    When the window comes saying "The ...iPod is synced with another iTunes library...do you want to..." Just hit cancel. Your iPod is now set to "manually manage movies and songs"
    Now you can drag and drop whatever songs you want onto your iPod. I would go ahead and set the setting on the other computer to "manually manage..." also in order for it not to erase the songs you put on there from the other computer.
    You can go to Devices>iPod>Settings There are four options toward the bottom of the page. One of those is "manually...." Check that box.

    You'll need to be connected to a Wi-Fi source in order for the Photos to download to your iPod Touch.

  • I can't put songs onto my new iPod Nano

    I previously had a 30G iPod but replaced it with an 8G nano and now I can't put any songs from iTunes onto my new iPod. I have over 10G in my library and thought it would be as easy as clicking a button to deselect all songs and then selecting only the ones I now want to add into my iPod.
    When I attach the nano to a USB, I get a welcome message saying I can do 1 of 2 things and then I hit "continue" then this message comes up that iTunes is accessing the store and that doesn't go away.
    I am not sure what to do...Please help!

    Hey there Shea 9! I'd recommend taking a look at the following article
    The New User's Guide to iPod Nano I linked you directly to step 3 to fill your iTunes and iPod with music.
    If you have any other problems try and be a little more specific as to what you are trying to do or what kind of error message you get.

  • Can you use two ipods on one itunes account. It let me transfer my purchases, but can i put songs that are on one ipod onto the other that are already on my itunes?

    i had an ipod classic and used it for a few years until i got an iphone.
    Now I want to return to use it to fit all my songs on, however i now use a different itunes on a different computer.
    It let me transfer all my purchases, but won't let me put the songs on that i downloaded from albums, and it won't let me put songs onto it that are on my iphone.

  • I Can't Put Songs Onto My iPod Touch!

    whenever i go onto iTunes and try to put songs onto my iPod using the click and drag method i get this message - 'the iPod "George's iPod" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to'. What can i do? Please, anyone, even a guess will do...
    By the way i have the latest version of iTunes and the latest system thing on my Touch.

    I have seen this article listed on many requests for help. I have tried these fixes but the iTouch will get about 200 songs into the sync and then will give the same message. I have successfully synced the iTouch to my laptop (Vista system)but that is not the primary computer for the touch. Are there any other ideas/solutions?

  • In my phone i can't put songs

    I cannot put songs in my iphone 4s it always sync but not complet anything and i do not get the songs please help me as soon as possible.
    thank you !!!!

    When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app?  Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category.  If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes.  To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again. 
    I hope this helps!

  • Can I put songs from my iPad Mini directly onto my iPod Shuffle, or do I have to do it through a computer?

  • HT2729 How can I put songs into the album they came from but were split because of multiple artists on a tune?

    I need help in finding out home to combine songs from the same CD into one Album. When putting CD into the iMac, it auto loads into iTunes. If the artist is singing duet and the songs show more than one artist, it gets separated in iTunes. I want to combine all tracks together like they are on the CD.

    One way around this is to edit the album info for each song on that album and make the album artist 'various artists', or you can remove that duet artist and make all the artists the same.
    Seems to be a glitch or change with how iTunes sees albums now. THey alphabetize them by artist and, as you've noticed, if the artists are different, it sees them as different albums.
    I had many albums like this and spent a whole weekend editing the info to 'various' to clean it up.

  • Can I put songs in my library onto another library on the same computer???

    I have a song on my library, and someone in my family wants it on his library ON THE SAME COMPUTER. Is there a way to put it on his library without him having to buy it for himself???
    Please help me. I don't want to have to buy one for his library.

    This question really is more about itunes and not about the ipod nano. Please repost this question in the correct forum that regards itunes and windows. THe correct forum is linked below.
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=800
    You can try this. Does the second person have their own itunes music store account for the 2nd itunes library? What you can try doing is authorizing the purchased music from your itunes account to play on the 2nd persons library. Or it might be easy just to spend 99 cents for the 1 song.

  • MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

    i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
    I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
    How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
    Can anyone help?
      Windows XP  

    okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
    uninstall itunes.
    then reinstall it.
    plug your ipod in.
    a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
    click NO.
    then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
    your ipod should show up.
    go to summary
    then check managely manage my music, and then update.
    this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..
