Cannot add songs to my iphone after installing new MAC OS X 10.6

PLEASE HELP.

No one is going to be able to help unless you provide some details. What exactly is the problem? What version of iTunes, iOS, and what model phone?

How can i transfer songs from my iPhone 4s to new mac

I recently got a new MacBook (My first one ) but the problem is my old PC crashed and I lost all of my songs that were on that computer. The only songs I have left are on my iPhone. Is there anyway I could simply transfer the songs on my iPhone to my new MacBook? of course, when I go to "sync" my phone to my new iTunes, which is my old account, it says that everything will be erased and what is in my new iTunes library (which is empty) will be transfered to my phone.
Please help!!!! I am still learning this MacBook so please forgive my stupidity! Go Team Apple!

Re-downloading all your purchased music (apps, ibooks, videos, everything) is easy if you purchased them from Apple. Assuming they are still available, you simply download them again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Retrieving music that you copied from CD or other sources is not easy. Music is supposed to go from your computer to the iPhone, not the other way around. Moving its content to a computer is contrary to the design.
I wish I had a dollar for everyone with a Windows PC who asked this question. Given their predilection for attracting viruses and other sordid malware, Windows PCs crash with disturbing regularity. Now that you made the wise decision to replace it with a MacBook, get an external backup disk (external hard disk drive, or Time Capsule) and simply use Time Machine. Plug it in and Time Machine does the rest. The drudgery of backing up your system becomes painless and totally forgettable, and recovering from a crash becomes a non-event.
Here is some guidance retrieved from an old post. Since it is old, some of the links may not work:
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
iTunes & iPod software
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iDump Windows Only

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

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.

How can I access internet w/iPhone after installing new router

After I installed an Arris DG1670A router I have not been able to access the Internet over Wi Fi with iPhone (iOS8), iPad (iOS7) or Apple TV.
I have an Apple Time Capsule router that seems to be operating correctly. But only after having made many changes using the Network Diagnostics/Assistance feature. Those changes allowed my MacBook Pro (OS X) and my Mac G5 (OS X )
After the install of the Arris modem and resetting it to the original password my Epson Printer is working so I believe the problem is within the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV or the Apple Time Capsule.
I have upgraded IPhone to iOS8, tried restoring it and resetting it's Network settings a number of times without success.
What changes do I need to make and where do I have to make in order to have all of my Apple devices to get on line?

Change of modem always requires a factory reset of the TC. Even if it is showing green it will still not work properly.. Too much is remembered from the previous setup.
So factory reset. No files are lost from the hard disk.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Run through the setup in airport utility again and use new names.. short with no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Not the names that Apple will recommend.
eg TCgenx as base station name. TCwifi as wireless name.
Use only WPA2 security with password of 10-20 character pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
Then you can scan for the new wireless name from the devices.. perhaps after deleting all the old wireless names beforehand.

How do I get my songs off my IPad after installing new ITunes?

I suppose this question has been asked a couple million times, but here goes a million and one. I have an IPad and I have 4608 songs that I spent hours ripping from CDs to my system. I then used my micro sized brain to figure out that if my system crashed I would have a backup of these MP3's on my IPad for safe keeping. Fix the puter, reinstall ITunes, do a backup and restore, bingo back in business. Of course all my pics, movies, apps, contacts, calendar etc are there but no songs! to my horror no songs. it does not care about the 30 movies that i have copied over to it and would take hours to redo. Nope it wants me to spend days/months re-ripping those **** songs again. Why, every other device on earth allows you to do this. What is apple trying to do? Make me want to throw my IPad into the trash compactor? This makes no sense! Sorry I blew up. Does anyone know of any safe way to get the songs off my IPad so I can load them back on my puter and have ITunes recognize them and use them again?

You select the music you want to sync to the iphone, then sync. The same way you get any other music from your computer top your iphone.

How do i put songs from an iphone onto a new mac?

i have no idea how to put songs onto a new computer/blank itunes

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

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.

After changing laptops, i am unable to add songs into my iPhone 4. The song appears in the library but not in the device. Help!

I have not been able to add songs into my iPhone after switching computers. The mp3 format of these current songs are in the old laptop and i am unabe to retrieve them. In the new laptop, i am unable to add songs to my device, only to the iTunes library.

Best route here is to focus initially solely on the iTunes Library. Once it has all the Songs that you want, turn off iTunes Match, sign out of iTunes Store and restart the computer from cold.
Moving to the iPhone would suggest a restore and fresh link to the library post the following steps.
1. Sign in to iTunes Store;
2. Turn on iTunes Match - allow 3-step process to run to completion;
3. Make secure backup of library;
4. Force iPhone in to restore mode - hold down 'power on/off' with 'home key' for 10 seconds
5. Attach iPhone via USB to computer and follow 'restore' instructions in iTunes
6. Once complete synchronise with library as required
At this stage all required Songs should be on the iPhone - post iPhone back-up a good point to fully enable iTunes Match on the iPhone if required.

I manually add my songs to my iphone, after dragging from itunes, it shows the syncing message but the songs do not show up on the ipod. I was able to copy songs successfully before.

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

HT4759 How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

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.

ITunes won't add songs to my iphone/adds them but they don't actually add?

Ok, so I keep trying to add songs to my iPhone, and half of them just appear greyed out with the circle next to them, and no matter how many times i sync, they won't ever add. Then, out of the songs that do add randomly, most of them don't appear on my iPhone and when I try to play them on iTunes (in the iPhone playlist) an exclamation mark appears next to them (so they didn't actually add, but they're in my iTunes library so I don't understand why it "can't find" the songs when I add them to my iPhone). As a result, out of 433 songs I've been trying for 2 hours to add to my iPhone, only 14 actually show up on my iPhone. All the songs that have added AND actually showed up on my phone and played are songs that I've purchased from iTunes, so I'm not sure what that's about. Oh, I also had like 50 songs on my phone before I tried adding all the new ones earlier, and when I started adding new music, all the previous songs that were on my phone disappeared from my phone and have exclamation marks next to them in my phone's itunes playlist. Can someone explain what's going on with iTunes?

Disconnect your iPod from your computer. Close iTunes and re-open. Connect the iPod cable to a different usb port, re-connect and fingers crossed the error will go away (happened to me on Sunday and doing the above resolved).
