Cannot add sections to song on iphone 4S

I have been using Garageband successfully for months on an iPhone 4S, and unfortunately after the most recent app update, I am no longer able to add song sections. Normally i would touch the "+" sign on the top right, but this now just scrolls the cursor all the way to the right side. I have checked under the gear cog, but there is no "sections" option listed here either. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I did try resetting but it did not make the glitch go away. I did however, accidentally solve the issue. By simply flipping the phone 180 deg, the screen also rotates, and then the "+" button will work. This seems to be more of a phone glitch than it does a garageband glitch. But thank you for the suggestion.

Cannot add or delete songs from iPhone Music

As a precursor, I have owned my iPhone for over 3 years and this is the first encounter with this issue:
Since purchasing iTunes Match, I can no longer manage my music on my iPhone. I can neither add nor delete songs from the phone. I have over 52G's of music on iTunes and upon synching my phone, itunes indescriminately adds the songs... random songs from random albums. I've tried to delete the music from my phone, but that option is not permitted (the delete button is grey and not an option).
How can I add (from my iTunes library) and delete music from my iPhone 4? My synching preferences are checked as Manual for music transfer to my phone, yet I have absolutely no control of adding or deleting music content?
What am I doing wrong?

When you enable iTunes Match on your phone you can no longer manage your music using iTunes, you have to download it from iCloud. With iTunes Match, when you play a song it simultaneously downloads in the background. You can also download complete albums by going to the album and tapping on the cloud download icon. Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to delete music once downloaded is to delete all music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swiping All Music and tapping Delete. Hopefully they will restore the option to deleted individual songs again in a future update.

Cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5 / itunes for mac

Does anyone know why one cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5. When I drag a playlist to a folder on my "Devices" on my iMac in itunes 10 it does not show up on my phone after it syncs. I should note that I currently have 3 folders with playlists which show up on my iphone but I believe these were generated when I first Automatically Synced Music before I switched to Manually Manage Music

Also can this be done for photos?

I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

Add even one song to iPhone (manual sync) and now iPhone erases rest of music library?

Many thanks for your attention.
This has been happening more and more - especially with more recent iOS and iTunes updates.
I long have kept many Movies and much Music on my iPod or (now) iPhone.
In the past, whenever I wanted to add a new song to the iPhone, I would just drag and drop the song into it from my desktop.
Almost all of my music I converted over from CDs I own. Same with the movies.
I almost never buy music or movies from the iTunes store.
I have always had iTunes Sync set to Manual.
Until a couple years ago, no problems.
Now, sometimes I drag one film over or add one new song - and the rest of my music library (and all the movies) on my iPhone are seemingly automatically erased. Poof - they're all gone!
It doesn't happen each time - sometimes the song or songs are copied over and my iPhone music library is added to - as I planned.
But sometimes, I perform the same step - and the new song is added - but all (over 4000) of the songs already in library, all the playlists, etc., vanish.
It takes a while to add over 4000 songs to the iPhone (again and again). I had read over last couple years of bugs that would be fixed, etc., but it seems to be much worse now, not better.
Except - the few songs I once downloaded from the iTunes store. Those appear - ready to play yet - but ready to be downloaded again.
I have tried several things to combat this - deleted Pref files, etc. But there is no pref file on a Mac for the iPhone. Only for iTunes.
I should say I do not keep an iTunes Library on my computer. It is mostly empty (to save HD space). As my iPhone is 64GB - that would be 64GB of needless space taken up - when I only listed to music or watch movies via my iPhone. Up until about two years ago - this was never an issue though, since back to the first iPod. And I have always had my iTunes set to Manual Sync.
I do not use iCloud to backup my music.
I would just manually add a song or a movie to iPhone via my desktop.
Any suggestions to stop this from repeatedly happening welcome. My thanks in advance for any help.

Many thanks for reply and suggestions, Lawrence.
If a corrupt music database on iPhone - why was this happening on iPods (in the past) as well?
I have done complete Restores and Re-installs of iOS in the past. But this problem keeps popping up.
But - will try your suggestion.
It seems to be connected to Apple moving to iCloud and people backing up their music there. Also, many (or most) people also keep all their music on their Mac. I don't do either. iPhone always recognizes the few songs or films I downloaded from Store (they are also erased - but I have the joy of the option to download them again).
But - most of my music and movies come from my own CD collection and my own DVD collection - not from iTunes Store.
Your Playlist of All Music suggestion. If I understand right, I would have to load all music to iTunes first (some 40GB?)
Then Sync.
But I don't want to keep all 40GB+ of music perpetually on Mac.

Cannot add calendar events to my iPhone 5

I have never been able to add calendar events to my phone. There is one event listed from Facebook and I cannot delete it. The + to add an event is grayed out. When I ask Siri to add a calendar event it asks what day and I can say today, then it asks what time the event is, then I pick a random time and it says "okay shall I schedule this event?" and I say yes and then it says "sorry I'm afraid I can't do that". I have no idea why I am unable to add events, but I really depend on my virtual calendars.

Hello Amcha75,
It sounds like you are unable to add a new event to your calendar either manually, or with Siri and you have an event from Facebook that no matter what you do you cannot delete. I was thinking that the Default Calendar may be set to a calendar that you do not have permission to edit. You can check this in the Settings:
Several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
Default calendar for new events
Default time for alerts
Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone
Which day starts the week

Cannot add over 99 songs to my iPod nano 6g when manually managing files.

Hi Guys.
I'm new here , so if anyone can help will be great!!:)
I have purchaced a iPod nano 6g recently (8GB) and i am unable to add more than 99 songs when i am in manual management of music ... also i was unable to create folders on the iPod itself . I would really like to avoid the Sync option for the ipod.. can anyone please help?

Correct me if I am reading you wrong here. You were not able to select more than 99 tracks or you selected more and only 99 ended up coming over to the Nano?
Anyway, I selected 151 tracks and dragged them to my Nano and I ended up with 151 tracks on my nano. I have a 16GB unit. Make sure that your unit is not full.
If you are not even able to select more than 99 tracks, that is an itunes problem. If you can select more but when you drag it over to the nano only 99 actually copy over, then we will have to try something else.

Cant add or delete songs from iphone

Thanks

Some things to check:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings

Cannot add events to calendar on iPhone

After downloading iOS5 on my verizon iPhone4, I get the following error messages when trying to add events "no calendar has been set" (it has) or "that event does not belong to that event store" Help!

To delete tasks off the multitask bar, click the button on the bottom/front of the phone twice quickly. This will dislay just the multitask bar at the bottom of the screen (generally you see Music, Phone, Mail, and Safari here). Then click one of those tasks and you'll see all the items in your multi-task bar start to wiggle. You can scroll across from right to left to see all the apps you still have running, even if you aren't using them. click the X on each of these to close the apss -- this will not delete them from your OS. I did this and am now able to create Calendar events again!

Cannot add any music on iPhone through iTunes

I cannot add any music to my iPhone through my iTunes.
I have the latest software on both, iPhone iOS 7.1.2, iTunes 11.4.
On a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8.
I recently couldn't detect my iPhone on my iTunes whatsoever, so I updated the iOS (which meant I had to delete all my music on it to free space).
I've tried doing the managing syncing. I can add music (that's greyed out and actually isn't on my phone) through autofilling a playlist.
Any other suggestions as I have spent hours and hours on this, something that used to take no time is now killing me.
Thanks

That's normal (that the music is grayed out). Click the EYEfone icon, then the Summary tab (along the top) - if you want to manually manage music, check the box. Else, click the Music tab (along the top, not in the list on the left), then select the box to sync music, and select playlists or All music, then click Sync.

How to convert mp3 songs to iphone support file

please suggest

The iPhone supports mp3, but you cannot add them directly to the iPhone without iTunes. Add the mp3 files to iTunes first, then transfer the songs from iTunes to the iPhone.

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.

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?
kjco99

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.
