Can't seem to drag my songs to my ipod playlist

I have songs already on my computer that I would like to put on my ipod.. why won't it let me?

You have to have them in iTunes to add them to the Shuffle, you can't just drag them to the Shuffle from a folder. You can use 3rd party software to do this, such as Xplay, Anapod, Gnupod, Winamp with a Plugin.
If you want to add them to your Shuffle through iTunes, you first need to Add them to iTunes. If they are a compatible format and not Protected or corrupted they should work there and then you can transfer them to the Shuffle. Some people have had difficulties with songs from pirate sites.
But I'm guessing as you still haven't told us anything about how you are trying to load them or the error message or results you are getting.

    I've just got a new computer does any one know how to transfer my song to my new computer. I've installed itunes but can't seem to transfer the songs.

    you can use home sharing.
    or, assuming you have all your media files in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from the old to the exact same location on the new machine.
    you can either use your network or an external HD for that.

  • I am walking through Apples tutorial getting started with iOS development. I am at the storyboard area and can't seem to drag the cancel button to the green exit. I am not sure why the exit button doesn't except it. Is anyone else having this issue?

I am not sure why the exit button doesn't except it. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a work around? I have done this app twice and still cant get the exit to except the Cancel or Done  bar buttons

    Yes I checked it.  As far as I can see I did everything Apple said to do.  I took some screen shot so you can see how the screens are connected and what and where the code is, and what it does when I drag the cancel and done bar buttons to the exit

  • I can't change the lyrics of songs in my iPod nano 6th gen

    I'm using a 6th generation iPod, and I can't seem to change the lyrics in my iPod.
    When I download my music files from melon.com (a legal korean music download site), it already has the lyrics uploaded in the melon site uploaded onto the music file. However, the lyrics uploaded onto the music file aren't accurate, so I go to 'get info'->'lyrics' and change the lyrics to a more accurate one. Then, I upload that to my iPod, but it doesn't show the change on my iPod. The change is made when I connect it to the computer, but it doesn't show on the iPod. Also, the lyrics has spaces between the lines when I never entered any.
    Can you look into this problem?

    Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
    The new headphone jacks are a bit tigher than previous generations and require a little bit of extra force to get the headphones to fully connect.

  • I can't remove or add any songs to my ipod shuffle when I connect it to my laptop

    I can't add or remove any songs from my ipod shuffle when I connect it to my laptop. I've never had any problems with it before last night and it is driving me insane. Can anyone help?

  • HT3819 When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not.  When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them.

    When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not.  When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them.  I've tried synching from multiple computers that are all connected with home sharing but it still didn't do the trick.

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • How do I move files into folders in Pages? I can't seem to drag and drop anymore, except via my web browser in iCloud.

    Before the Yosemite update. I'm pretty sure I could just drag and drop documents in and out of folders. Now, I can't seem to do that, though the option still exists if i log into iCloud in my browser or even my iOS device. This seems odd to me. Am I missing something?

    Where did you recall doing this?
    Essentially all file movement is done in Finder, not Pages.

    one of the problems may be that the original files may have been moved.
    before you do anything, open itunes, then click on the ipod icon on the left side of the screen. there should be 4 check boxes. make sure the "manually manage music" check box is filled in
    for one thing, try finding the folder where all of your music is stored.
    then, click and drag the music into itunes, or onto your ipod.

  • I am trying to play my ipod shuffle 1st gen in itunes but it will not play. My windows 7 computer recognizes the ipod and I can easily select the songs on my ipod playlist in itunes but cannot play them. Any solutions to the problem?

    I get the feeling some has asked a question "like" this but not exactly that question which makes it really hard for find answers fast to the above question. Therefore, I decided to ask it anyway. Hopefully someone has a good solution that will work.
    Background on the question:
    - I had to erase and reupload song on my ipod 1st gen to my new computer. Apparently the ipod could not be read by the iTunes in my new computer because the playlist cannot be opened in more than one iTunes or in another computer or something like that (this makes no sense). All this was to try and charge my ipod that does not seem to want to charge. It connects perfectly to the computer and I can see the initial blinking yellow lights on the back and front, but won't charge. I am currently working on this problem from other community discussion topics.

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • HT1727 I lost my old iPod and bought a new one. The old one had many of MY personally owned and legally bought CDs on it. I have those iTunes backed up ant now I can't seem to "synch" them to the new iPod nano.

    I can't seem to synch my new iPod nano to the legally purchased music from CDs that had been on my old iPod which I've lost.
    I had a backup of all those iTunes that I want to import to the new nano.
    How can I "synch" the new iPod nano to the music I see in an iTune library? The new iPod nano displays "no music" and
    doesn't play anything.

    Hello PrettyinPinkInk,
    You might consider restoring the iPhone, then removing the SIM card after activating the iPhone, so as to use it as an iPod Touch. This should prevent any unwanted association with a phone number, and thus, voicemail, as well.

  • How can I get my non purchased song content from ipod touch 4 back to my itunes library. My library

    How can I get my non purchased song content back into my itunes library from my ipod touch 4. My itunes had disappeared so I had to get another itunes & start again. I still have the original song content in the ipod.

    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Can't see the list of songs on my iPOD 2nd generation

    i have installed the ipod, and i am able to transfer my songs into my ipod 2nd generation, however i am not able to see the list of songs that i have put into the actual ipod shuffle. Can someone please help me !
    thanks

    no, there is contents. i just figured it out.
    to recap: i had 2 problems: one was that i couldn't see the contents of the shuffle. the other was that i couldn't eject my shuffle. when i tried to eject, i kept getting the message that i couldn't eject because an application was using the files on the ipod. when i clicked the icon of my shuffle i got the picture of the ipods with the heading "ipod + itunes," as i recall. there were no settings or content tabs.
    now i realize there were no tabs because i had not finished the registration of the shuffle on my pc. i had registered the shuffle on the website without using itunes. i didn't realize that there was more i needed to do in itunes because i couldn't see all of the buttons in my window. when i followed through with the registration in itunes all the way to the end, the 2 tabs were revealed and the songs that i had already loaded on the shuffle were listed in "contents." and, i was able to eject the shuffle. apparently itunes (or whatever) was still looking for a completed registration and wouldn't release the shuffle. sigh.
    if you can not see the settings and contents tabs in itunes when you click your shuffle in devices or you can not eject the shuffle, look at the window with the picture of the ipods in itunes. there is more below. complete the registration (i had already done so on the web earlier, but my itunes was not complete.).
    thanks to everyone for your help.
