Can't transfer songs in manual mode

All the instructions say that in manual mode songs can be dragged from the music library and dropped into the iPOD but it won't work. The only way we can transfer is to set the preferences to automatic. Does anyone know how to transfer in manual mode?

Janet,
The songs with the ! next to them means that they have either been moved from the location that iTunes normally looks for them, or that they've been deleted from the computer.
Either way, iTunes cannot find them. If you were to double click on one, you would get a message to this effect and be asked if you want iTunes to look for it.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

  • After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. Cannot xfer songs I burned from CD.

    After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. I cannot transfer songs I burned from CD. When I drag them to my phone in iTunes, my phone appears to be updating, but the songs don't show up there.
    I'm using IOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. WIndows 7.
    Thanks.

    This has worked for many folks according to the feedback I have gotten:
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

    how can i transfer songs from my computer to iphone?

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can enable the sidebar via control-S, on a Mac via option-command-S) and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen select the Music tab and use that to select which of your computer's iTunes music to sync to your phone's Music app.

  • Wife has a Kindle, Kid is buying a ipad. Can I transfer songs from my amazon cloud over to icloud without having to repurchase?

    Wife has a Kindle, Kid is buying an ipad. Can I transfer songs and pictures from amazon cloud over to icloud?

    Yes, and there are a couple ways to do this, and it may depend on what kind of songs you are talking about.
    If you purchased songs from Amazon's ecosystem, and it is stored in their cloud, you can do the following:
    1) Download their app.
         The app is called Amazon Cloud Player. The link is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-cloud-player/id510855668?mt=8
    2) Download the songs from their cloud, to your computer and then sync with iTunes
         This is the method I use, and all the music is then stored in the Music app, already on the iOS device. The upside to this method would be that all the other applications you have can access these songs too, such as apps for an alarm clock.
    3) Upload pictures and songs to Dropbox
         This way all the content is stored in the cloud, and can be accessed anywhere and anytime.
    For the pictures, you're most likely going to have to sync with iTunes to do that, or you can put them in Dropbox.

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

  • Update 10-01-2006 not working?  Can't transfer songs to iPod.

    From reading the forums, it looks as though I've made the mistake of downloading the update. When I connect my iPod nano, I just get the "Do not disconnect" message for ever, but iTunes never recognizes my iPod. The most it says is that I need to install the update, which I've already done. I'm using a PC, if that helps. I've tried the R's, that doesn't seem to work. The iPod itself still works, just can't transfer songs to it. Is this something with the iPod, or the software?
    I saw that a similar question was asked a while ago, with many answers including a "suggestion" to start a new thread, so here I go. Any help is of course appreciated. Thanks.

    Further update.
    When plugging in iPod into computer, iPod just continues to say "Do Not Disconnect". iTunes will not recognize it at all. Further, when trying to safely disconnect, keep getting message that the device is busy, so cannot safely disconnect other than shutting down computer.
    iPod is still usable, but won't hold charge more than a couple of hours. What is going on?
