Can´t add music and videos to iTunes

If I try to add music or videos to my iTunes library nothing happens at all, even if the files are mp3 and mp4. But there´s no error shown to me. Just nothing happens. I know that this question was already asked, but there´s no answer which helpes me. It´s strange, because it works for nearly a year.
Excuse me for my bad english, english isn´t my mother tongue.

IPad 16GB iOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps

My iPad 16GB installediOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps...HELP?

Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

My sons dad bought him and ipod and my niece used her itunes library to add music and videos on it. They live in another state and we have questions because we don't want him to lose all of the music or any of the apps.

My son's dad bought him an ipod and my niece used her itune library to put music and videos on his ipod. The problem we are haveing is that she lives in another state and we are not sure how to manange his account without losing some of the songs and all of his apps. There are some songs that are on his ipod that are duplicates, there are some songs that he doesn't like or listen to, and there are some songs on there that I do NOT want him to listen to because of the language and the lyrics. He is 10 there are just some things I feel that he is too young to listen to.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.

Cannot sync music and videos to an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.0 b1 on iTunes 11.2.2

Hey everyone.
Yesterday, I decided to take the leap to iOS 8.0 beta 1 on my iPhone 5. So far, things have been working ok (with the expected bugs here and there), except for this one thing above.
After I got it all installed on my iPhone, I then proceeded to restore from my most recent backup that I made prior to the install of this first beta of iOS 8.0. All that other stuff (my contacts, apps, and ringtones) came back just fine. For some reason, when it got to the part with syncing my music and videos, it was able to initally get them copied over, but then iTunes would get stuck on either "waiting for items to copy" or "waiting for changes to be applied". I remember this same thing happening last year when I updated to iTunes 11 as well.
Is there any workaround I can do to get this to work, or am I going to have to wait for the next update of iTunes to come out? What I'm guessing is that I won't be able to sync these things right now as the current version of iTunes only has full support for up to the most recent public release of iOS, 7.1.1. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Also, I have one other little error to ask about. After clicking on check for updates from the menubar, for some reason after checking for updates to iTunes it will show this message: "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occurred (-50)." My iPhone isn't even connected to my Mac right now in any form, whether it would be by a lightning cable or wifi.

Same issue that everyone else is having with me, and I'm also upset with Apple. Hardware is superlative, but software keeps going downhill. I'm running OSX 10.9 anditunes 11.4. I've tried every sync fix that may have worked for others, but nothing works for me. iTunes was great in the beginning, but the programmers seem dedicated to cutting its knees off with redesign that is inane instead of intuitive,, dropped feaqures, etc. I even hear the itunes 12 drops the sidebar!! I am getting the clear impression that the itunes group is a dumping ground for the rest of Apple. Fix this sync problem now. At a minum just re-use the code that worked before. N.

Is it possible to restore music and videos deleted by itunes

as the title states is it?
today i updated my ipod touch to 1.1.5. and i have jailbroken it before but the jailbrake was gone so i decided to go and back up my music on my brother's laptop which already had itunes on my account of his laptop. but when i went to connect my ipod. i descovered all my music was gona and on the ipod section of the itunes. the memory staus of my ipod had all been noted as "others" and not "music" or "videos" like it usually does.
so with that being said. is there a way to restore the deleted music of my ipod?

1) Please use better English. I had to read your post 4 times before I understood what you were talking about. This made me not want to help you, but I'm going to try anyway.
2) You cannot copy music from your iPod onto your computer. This is because Apple doesn't want to be caught with lawsuits the same way as Napster and others did in the past.
3) If you copied music from your computer to your iPod without going through iTunes, it will be registered as "other" because it is noted as data space, not music space, same as if you copy documents or other stuff to use your iPod as a USB flash device. This is probably the root of your problem.
4) iPods (in general), as far as I know, do not know how to distinguish between music and non-music in their data space. Therefore, you will mot be able to play music copied to your iPod without going through iTunes. I don't know how Jailbreak works, but I presume it allows you to do this, which is likely the source of your confusion.
If you have all your music in your data space, which seems to be the case, here's something you can try (although no guarantees it'll work):
1) Go into iTunes, with your iPod plugged in.
2) Go into your iPod statistics (where it shows space usage, etc).
3) Check the box near the bottom that says "Enable Disk Use" or something like that.
Your iPod should then mount on your desktop and allow you to access it as a normal flash drive. If, indeed, your music is in your data space, you should be able to copy it to your computer.
If that doesn't work, I think you're SoL. This is why you shouldn't jailbreak your iPod.

Cannot add music from hard disk to itunes

Help me i cant add music from my seagate freeagent go to my itunes. i tried to drag it in but it doesnt appear in the library

if those files are MP3s, try running them by _*MP3 Validator*_ before adding.
could also be due to permissions problems.
check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !

TS3694 I am stuck with the restore image on the ipod touch. I do not wish to loose all photos and videos on it, I tried everything. help! tried ireb and tiny umbrella.

I am stuck iwth the restore image on the ipod touch I tried ireb and tiny umbrella without success, i do not wish to lose all the pictures and videos what can I do?

Your iPod encountered an error and must be restore.
To get back photos and videos restore:
- Restore from backup
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos ony from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

Cannot add music or old apps from iTunes to iPhone 5

Any tips? On iTunes it has all of my previous settings from my iPhone 4 but I cannot update my iPhone 5 with my old apps or add any music to my device. Any help would be much appreciated!

I think I've got the same problem:
- I can download Apps to Itunes
- I can download Apps from my Iphone
- I can sync my Iphone, but none of the Apps will transfer from my Itunes to my Iphone.
- My computer is authorized
- Restrictions on my Iphone are disabled
- The Apps are checked under the Applications tab
- I used to be able to sync Apps from my Itunes to my Iphone
- If I uncheck an App and Sync it removes the App from my Iphone, and when I check and sync it again, it will not move the App back on my Iphone
- Updates won't sync either
- I get no error message or anything, it just does what it should do but 'skips' syncing the Apps
- As far as I know it happened suddenly (without me unchecking stuff or clicking on things that might have disabled it)
- I am not able to find a solution on the internet.
I hope this might help :]

HT5085 my iphone 4s is not connect with odas device also i cannot transfer music and videos on my iphone

What type of security are you using? If it's WEP, change it to WPA. WEP is so insecure as to be virtually worthless now.
If re-setting the network settings doesn't fix it, you're probably going to find you need a new router. Yours may just be incompatible.

My old computer crashed and i lost everything from contacts too music. i have a new labtop and want to sync my contacts and music and apps over to itunes without everything being erased. what is the easiest way to do that?

My old computer crashed and i lost everything that was on itunes and on the computer contacts music etc. i want to get the new iphone but the 3gs i have has not been sync with the new computer & I don't want to loose or have everything erased on my phone just want to put everything that's on my phone to new computer. what the most uncomplicated way to do that?

No.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
The same applies here.

Help: iTunes wants to delete all my music and videos off of my iPhone!

I usually keep the option to manually manage music and videos on my iPhone. I only use 1 pc to transfer music and movies to and from my iPhone. Recently for some reason when I launched iTunes, an error message kept poping up repeatedly saying "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved." I fixed the error message by adjusting the user access privileges to my music folder.
Now my music library is completely empty in iTunes, but that shouldn't be a problem because I manually manage my music and videos. However, when I checked the iPhone page in iTunes, the checkbox for manually manage music and videos is unchecked.
So I went to go check the check box so that I can continue to add some more music and videos to my iPhone, however a message box pops up saying:
"The iPhone "my iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
I have about 12 gigs worth of music and videos which I have carefully hand picked over a period of about 3 months and now iTunes wants to delete all of it because it thinks I want to "sync with another library". I only hope someone can understand how frustrating this is for me. All I want to do is continue to be able to add music and videos to my iPhone without having to erase months worth of work putting the current music I have on there. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your reply. I don't keep all of my music in the iTunes' designated music folder. I don't like the way iTunes reorganizes my songs and I keep all my music in my own self organized music folders as I don't use iTunes as my primary media application. Not to mention allot of my files come from all different corners of my computer's hard drive. It would literally take months to go through over 20 gigs of media files to pick out the songs I have in my iPhone library to rebuild an iTunes library. Like i said, I don't even use iTunes other than to transfer files to my iPhone. I thought the purpose of manually managing the files was so you don't have to sync it with the iTunes library but now it won't give my that option without requiring me to delete everything on my phone I worked so hard on.
What I don't understand is logically or technically why iTunes HAS to delete all the content off of my iphone. Who's decision in the Apple's software engineering department was to require the one's iPhone to be erased if someone loses their iTunes library? Its frustrating because it makes no sense and I feel as if the software is punishing me for reasons I don't understand by threatening to delete all my content off my phone. Is there absolutely no way to transfer my music to my iPhone without deleting everything currently on and completely rebuilding my music library from scratch?
