Cannot add or change any songs on 160GB classic

Ever since I mistakenly got into OSX 10.9.4, I have not been able to make any additions of deletions of songs from either this iPod or my iPod Nano. I've tried just about aything and am very disgusted. I know very little about how these devices work but my son who has more understanding cannot seem to help me either. I've asked for help here before with no responses. Can no one help in any way? I in my mid 70's and while I don't want sympathy I would like some kind of HELP. Thanks.

Just to clarify - any link within the store (underlined text) clicks fine... the only part that i am having a problem with is any click-able button (buy now, buy album, etc... i actually cannot even get the preview buttons to show, let alone click on them)
I really do not want to re-install as it is always a hassle with my 75gig music library. (plus the ever possible chance of loosing 10 years worth of ratings and playcounts freaks me out)

Cannot add contacts to any section below Workgroup on Relationships tab

In Lync, when I click over to the "Relationships" tab and can see "Friends and Family," etc., sections, I am able to add contacts from my "Groups" tab no problem to either "Friends and Family" or "Workgroup."
However I cannot add contacts to any of the other sections. For example, I add a person to "Workgroup" and he shows up; then I drag him onto the "Colleagues" section and he disappears. The comment "No one's in this access
level" never goes away.
What is the trick to adding people to the other sections in the "Relationships" tab?

Hi,
Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
Did the contact exist on Group Tab after dragging the contact from “Workgroup” to “Colleagues”?
You can login Lync client on other computer with your Lync account to have a test. If it works normally, you can delete user profile on your issued local workstation, restart Lync client and test again.
You can also login Lync client on your computer with other well-worked Lync account to have a test.
Please update to the latest version for Lync client as well.
Best Regards,

I updated to Lion, and all of my events show up, but I cannot "add invitees" to any event. I can accept/reject invites, but cannot create them myself.

Help! updated to Lion, and all of my events show up, but I cannot "add invitees" to any event. I can accept/reject invites, but cannot create them myself.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Tried both methods you have mentioned previous many times without success - to answer your questions
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Nothing is copied
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Yes
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
No
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Yes - just once when I first got it
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Yes computer os has been updated, I think
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Yes, on my computer and on my ipad and phone
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Yes, synced my iPhone first, this morning
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
Tried every combination imaginable, including the settings that I had when syncing my iPhone this morning.
Hope this helps - it's a real pain.

Cannot add more than 1 song at a time to iphone

Hi
Don't know if anyone else has had this problem but when i try to add songs to my iphone i can only do 1 at a time. If i sync a full album it crashes and says device timed out. it will back up ok and sync if manually manage music is ticked but if automaically again it dies on the second song. I have reinstalled itunes with no luck and my phone will work fine on my wife's laptop when synced to her library. I can re-sync with my library which removes all songs but then cannot add anymore songs unless its 1 at a time :((
Any ideas??? We both use the latest 8.2 itunes and both run vista both have amd processors and both comps have 2gb ram.
Thanks

Cool. The front case ones may not be properly connected to the motherboard then. From personal experience they are kind of hard to connect as the pins are so small and it is easy to connect them incorrectly.

TS1363 My windows 8 computer recognizes my ipod, but I does not show up in itunes. I see my playlists but I can't add or delete any songs?

I don't understand why I cannot add or remove or sync music etc. on itunes. My computer recognizes my device, itunes has my account but the two do not interact?

I cannot add or change a time on an alarm

I want to set an alarm for a specific time, but there are no options available to edit the time in any way. It lets me set an alarm and gives me the option to have an alarm go off 15 minutes before, hour before, etc. However, it doesn't let me set a time, so how can I set a 15 minute before time frame if it doesn't let me say what time I need the alarm to go off.

Greetings,
Here is what the event window is supposed to look like:
I suspect you may have altered the manner in which date and time is displayed on your computer and this is changing how iCal displays time information.
1.) Quit iCal
2.) Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats and check your Region. It should be whatever country displays dates / times in the manner which you prefer. It should not say "custom".
3.) Launch iCal and test
If that does not take care of it then:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

New i photo app...AWFULL. No events shown...cannot add or change the music for a slideshow...It was so easy before

What has happened!!??? Slideshow set up was so easy before...now I cannot change the music ..have looked at the instructions,,no good, does not work. WAS SO EASY BEFORE.
also, where are my EVENTS files???

Moments in Photo are the new Events. There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can be sorted manually. Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
Now if you want to merge Album A into Album B click on Album A in the sidebar. Select all of the photos in A and drag them onto the Album B icon in the sidebar. Check to make sure all of the photos are in Album B and before deleting Album A.

Cannot sync or move any songs from iTunes to iPhone 4

Hi I am looking for some help
Last week I got a me iphone 4 and haven't been able to move sny music onto
It from my iTunes on my PC.
Previously iv had the 3GS and all worked fine but now I'm gettin really frustrated.
I have the latest version on iTunes and software in the phone, iv tried to sync and manually
Move the songs but no joy
When I click to sync, the memory bar has a blue section on iTunes saying 2gb but then it doesn't transfer
Over.
I spoke to someone in the apple store today who said to uninstall iTunes n connected program's n reinstall
But this hasn't worked either.
The songs are def still on the computer and there is plenty memory
Thanks for ur help

When you connect your phone, on the Summary screen, Did you check option to "manually manage"?
If you did, Hard reset your phone, reset sync history, uncheck music sync and complete full sync. Then go back and try to sync music again.

Cannot get any songs on all of a sudden!

I suddenly cannot autofill or put any songs on my ipod shuffle (2nd). Tried recommended trouble shooting. I don't know if I have the receipt, but I've only had it for a few months and it worked fine prior to today. Any other suggestions?

Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone? It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync. But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
I have the latest version of itunes
Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music? How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost? How do I get it to sync?

That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

I cannot add songs from my computer to my iTunes library

Ok so basically, I cannot add songs to my library. I cannot add songs to a playlist either. Evertyime I try to drag songs from a folder to my library, nothing happens. It was working fine yesterday, but now it isn't. I have tried logging back in and out of iTunes, shutting down my PC and trying again, etc. I searched google and here and it wasn't really a problem. I have tried installing and unistalling iTunes also. So, any help?

Go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > ADVANCED Tab
you may find iTunes Media file Location box is blank(sometimes this happens after an update).
If that is the case, click the change button and link it to your iTunes Media Folder as follows:
Win 7 C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
WinXP C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
