Can't update song via iPhone/iPad
Not sure if iOS 8 broke this because I haven't updated my playlists in a while. But for some reason, when I try to add a song from my iPhone/iPad, to a playlist, it won't add at all. But if I do it from my Mac, it appears on my devices magically. Works with trying to delete a song off of a playlist. If I delete on a song from a playlist on my iPhone, for example, it will appear as if I removed the song on it, but it won't update on my iPad or my Mac. This has to be an iOS 8 issue because regardless if I am adding/removing a song via my Mac, it updates both my iPhone and iPad. Anyone else having this issue?
It's probably Apple. They're having a lot of traffic and problems with their services right now. Just try it again in a day or so.

Since I bought iPhone 6 I never succeeded in updating the iOS using my iPhone... When I hit "Agree" it just freezes and doesn't respond. So now trying to update the iOS to 8.2 via iTunes but it's taking forever to download the update (almost 100 Kb/s) and it says it requires 9-12 hours... I've been trying since two days to download it and it's not working. On the other, it took almost 30 min to download and install the update on my iPad.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my iPhone and why is it too hard to update its software?It's probably Apple. They're having a lot of traffic and problems with their services right now. Just try it again in a day or so.

Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone from the same MacBook pro?
Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone to ios 5 from the same MacBook pro? Our family has one MacBook pro and several iphones and ipads. No one wants to lose their iTunes music or contact list or calendars.
Yes, but you will want to think it through before you do it.
The computer will become the "master" device, holding the definitive collection of music, photos, contacts, etc., and each iPad or iPhone will get a copy of what's on the computer. So if everyone has different collections of music or photos that you all want to keep separate from each other, you'll want to set up different accounts on the MacBook Pro. To do that, go into "System Preferences" and click "Users", then click the "+" to create a new account for each person who needs their own set of files.
That way you can each log in to your own MacBook account before you sync your iPhone or iPad, and everyone has their own copy of iTunes and their own iPhoto. If you happen to plug in an iPhone while logged into someone else's account, you just click "don't sync" (the 1st time only, it will remember after that). Sharing the same files becomes tricky, so this is only the best method if you want to keep things 100% separate.
On the other hand, if you all have your music and photos mishmashed together on the MacBook anyway or just don't care about keeping things separate, just go ahead and sync your iPhones and iPads without setting up new accounts. But in this case, you should create playlists and photo albums in iTunes and iPhoto. Then plug in an iPhone, click on it's icon in iTunes, and change the settings for Music, Photos, etc to only sync the playlists that you want on that device. Repeat for each one. They'll all remember their own settings, and continue to sync with their designated playlists or albums.
What you cannot do is use more than one computer with a single iPhone. That will wipe out the music and photos that were on it already, replacing them with the ones on the second computer. -
Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync?
Thanks joanlvhYou can update it on your computer, but then when he syncs it to his own it will say this iphone is already synced with another itunes account bla bla and will ask you if you want to sync it with this account. It will wipe anything you put on it using your own itunes account. BUT it wont wipe off the new iOS5

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,

My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for ios update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode ue one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I cannot add songs to my Iphone 4S unless i buy through itunes. I RIP songs from my cds and they go to my library but when i drag to my iphone, it won't allow me to do so. It has that big red circle with the line through it. I connected my ipod and i was allowed to drag and add songs to that. Any ideas why I can't add songs to iphone 4S ???
Thanks, I will try restoring my phone. And no, I haven't updated to the newest version of itunes yet. Just haven't been on the computer in awhile. I will do that A.S.A.P. Thanks for the reply!!

I can't update my 3gs iPhone through itunes as it says I need to download latest versions which I've done so I'm in a loop. I'm using a Macbook Pro 10.5.8
Ahhh, the mysteries of software updating...glad it is working for you now. Sometimes you just have to be persistent until iTunes figures out you aren't going to go away.
So, are you now updating the iPhone to iOS 5.0.1?
If you already have 5.0 and a wireless connection you don't need to use iTunes to update to 5.0.1...the wireless update only means a file of about 38 MB, while via iTunes it is the entire iOS and about 730 MB...big time difference.
Hope all goes well for you. -

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

I can't update my Apple iphone. Its model firmware is 4.2.1. What can I do to update my iphone.
Probably because you have an iPhone 3G and 4.2.1 is the latest update that you can get for that phone - it is too old to support anything further.
If you have an iPhone 4, then connect the phone to iTunes to update it and ensure that you have the latest version of iTunes too. -
