Cannot add songs to iphone

I cannot add songs to my iphone. (I have in the past but recently have not been able to) .I've ripped songs from cds and added them to my library but when i go to drag them over to my iphone, all i get is the big red circle with a line through it. I can't sync because I have so many songs I ripped before on the phone and will lose it all. I've tried dragging the songs to a new playlist and then syncing just that playlist but then i get a message saying this phone is already synced to another playlist. WTH is going on? And how do I fix this. Not really savvy with itunes as you can see!!

Same problem here!
Also my Home share doesn´t work.
I purchase CD from work pc and i couldn´t move it to my iPhone becouse otherwise it would deleted my existing library songs? And at home pc iTunes can´t find that purchase at all...??
Could this be beacause of iOS6?
I have iPhone4.

An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud. It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC.
Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle). You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC. But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. 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

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.

When I manually add songs to iphone 4s many appear gray and won't play. How do I fix this?

When I manually add songs to iphone 4s many appear gray and won't play. How do I fix this? I have the manually manage music button checked, and I can play them on itunes, but on my iphone they appear gray and won't play. There doesn't seem to be any reason, as one song from an album will play, but the other 9 won't....

Cannot add songs to library

Afetr uprading to Itunes 11 I cannot add songs to Library. I need Help.

I hope someone can help as I am having a similiar problem. I have multi users on one macbook. I have Itunes for all users set to the same shared folder for music (to eliminate multi copies of music files) I just added new music to the shared folder by dragging it into the folder (not thru itunes). The user I orginally did the dragging and dropping in, I was able to add to the library however, Now I am not able to add to the library on the other users. When I go to add to librabry and select the itunes folder with all the music nothing happens. Even if i try one song folder at a time nothing happens. I have had this macbook for a week and am new to mac (this is my first mac) I am geting frustrated so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

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

You don't have any choice but to restore your phone. If the phone is still working, be sure to back up your contacts first. Since iTunes can't read your phone you can download the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an email attachment. Send this email to yourself; you can later open it on your phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary. When done, click on Restore (on the Summary tab) and let iTunes do its thing. Be careful to watch the progress information at the top of iTunes as well as your iPhone screen so that you do not interrupt the restore process until it is completes.

Cannot add songs to shuffle

2nd gen shuffle wont add songs from itunes. Did the five r's reinstalled itunes. ipod shows up on itunes and computer. when I click autofill it tries to load songs but an error message( cannot write or read disk ) pops up.

I have the exact same problem, I have 2nd gen too. The only way I could 'switch' songs was to install the restore utility and then restore factory settings and install my ipod again. I could check the box that asks to randomly choose songs from my library and my ipod would sync up and it would be good. Anytime after I wanted to sync it would display that error. And if I didn't check the box at the install to automatically pick songs, it wouldn't sync anything. Annoying...

How to add songs to iphone

iTunes 11 64bit is really inconvenient. cant find where to add remove songs to iphone manually. cant add remove files to iphone manaully.

Content on iPhones is restricted to being managed from a single library. Other devices can have content added from multiple libraries if they are in manually managed mode, but you can only switch modes from the library the device is normally managed with or the current content will be erased.

Cannot delete songs of iphone

i have just uploaded the new IOS5 for iPhone4 and latest iTunes. However now i cannot delete songs off the phone in iTunes and i cannot make any adjustments to details of the song (such as eqauliser presets or volume) - its greyed out. I can still do this off my master iTunes library but not songs once on iPhone through the iTunes window. Any suggestions people.

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

Cannot play songs from iphone or ipad

I'm sorry if this is a repeated question. But suddenly about 95% of my songs on iphone 3gs have turned into grey color and it cannot be played, either from iphone itself or from itunes in laptop under iphone device. It also happened to my ipad. All albums are transferred but they appear to be grey. 5% of the songs are still black and can be played alright. I'm so frustrated!! I did try everything. Please..if anybody can help me. Thank you...
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with itunes 10 that I just downloaded or not

It's that way because that's the way Apple designed it.
I just merely wish to listen to them using itunes and my pc headphones while it charges the unit.
You can still connect headphones to the iPhone and listen while your PC changes the iPhone. Until Apple changes things, that's it.

Cannot add songs to my iPhone 4S from iTunes

Hello, when I drag songs from my iTunes music library to my iPhone, iTunes tells me it is "Preparing to update." Eventually it stops preparing, but the songs are not copied. I have been dragging songs from my iTunes library to my phone for years. Suddenly this method isn't working. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3; it is updated. Likewise with iTunes; it's version 11.1.3, the current version. I have tried rebooting both phone and computer to no avail.
Thanks,
Alex Price

You need to define "isn't working" if you expect an intelligent response. We have no idea what that means... What happens when you try?
FIY, no one from Apple is going to respond. This is a user to user forum. Apple does not participate here.
