Cannot drag songs from itune library to Iphone

Ok I am having a problem  I cannot drag any of my music on my  itunes library onto my iphone. I have looked online at everyones  comments and what they tell you to do and nothing works and plus when  you click the things they tell you to click on it says its going to  delete everything on your iphone and i hit cancel can some please help  me!

You will have to check the manually manage music box.
Changing from syncing to manually managing will indeed erase the current content.
Why not just sync the music?

  • Cannot drag audiobook from itunes library to iphone

    Hello,
    I cannot drag my purchased audiobook from my itunes to my iphone 5. I see the audiobook and I see my phone but for some reason I am unable to drag the book to the phone.
    I am using Windows 7.
    Thank You,

    What are your sync settings in iTunes for the audio content? Do you have the option to manually manage content selected from the Summary page of your device in iTunes?

  • Can't drag songs from iTunes library to my iPhone.  Nothing has changed.

    I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and added some songs from cd's to my library.  At the time, I was able to copy (drag/drop) some of them to my husband's iphone.  I am now trying to copy them to mine and am not able to.  I've never had a problem with this before.  This is not the original computer that i set up iTunes on...that one was a pc, and it died.  This one is a Mac.  I did have our iphones "synced" with the Mac in the Apple store.  I have tried checking the "Manually manage music and videos" button, but get this message:  The iPhone “Janice816's iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?".  I don't want to attempt anything like this for fear of deleting everything.  My iTunes and iPhone have the most current software, also.  Is there an easy answer to this, or does it sound like I'll have to take everything back in for help?  Thanks very much. 

    Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
    Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

  • Have new computer- cannot move song from itunes library to the ipod

    How do I move songs from the itunes library to the ipod?  Have tried dragging & dropping it will not
    work.  Song is downloaded onto itunes library, but will not go onto ipod

    So how exactly are you wanting to or trying to add content to your iPod?  Manually or via automatic syncing?  Do you have content stored in your iTunes library that you can play? Any error messages when you try to add or sync content to it?
    What didn't work? Need A LOT more detail here in order to assist you.

  • Can't put songs from iTunes Library onto iPhone 4S

    I finally got my laptop back from the repair shop after many months of being a whimp and not wanting to take it in, but then I finally grew a set. Anyway I re-authorised my computer, but now it wont allow me to move songs from my iTunes Library onto my phone. Why is this? At first I thought, perhaps it's my USB lead, but after trying four (no idea how I've managed to collect so many) it seems not the case. Help!

    All is good, I hadn't turned on the 'Move music manually' or something! Silly!

  • I am trying to drag songs from iTunes library to my iPod and I keep getting red circle like it's telling me it's not possible. Help please.

    I'm trying to help a friend who has a PC. She bought some songs, put them in her library and then tried to drag them to her iPod, but she keeps getting the red "NO' circle. Why is this happening? I thought all she had to do was drag the song to her iPod?

    Hi there,
    It sound like she may have automatic syncing enabled. I would recommend reviewing the process for syncing media with iTunes.

    I can not drag selected songs onto my iphone device (music section), What do I do?

    If you want to drag and drop then you have to click manually manage music.
    Otherwise, sync the music.

  • Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

    OK.  I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created.  And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist.  I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either.  I even talked to a supervisor.  He was stumpped.  It looks like a bug has infected the system.  I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem.  I believe if it works, don't update.  
    I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
    This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
    Help!

    "ok and how exactly do i do that? "
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup?  That is not good.

  • How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone 4 using iTunes 11?

    How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone using iTunes 11?

    If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

  • Just got iphone 5-only syncs a few songs from itunes library. some songs on ipad. would like them all on new iphone

    Please help!  I have a new iPhone. Have some songs from iTunes library on iPad and only a few transferred to new phone when synced. Tried deleting songs from iPad and they went to iCloud.  So now I have songs in iCloud on iPad and some songs on iPhone. Help! I want ALL iTunes library on new phone.

    I hope I'm not too confusing--to clarify: I have iTunes library on the computer. When I got the iPad, most of them transferred to that. I read somewhere on here how to delete those songs and they are now 500+ songs in iCloud...I think. Tried putting the iTunes library onto new iPhone 5s a few days ago and only 149 out of 1100 songs transferred. HOw can I get my whole library from the computer to my new phone?  I don't need them on my iPad.

  • Why cant i drag and drop from itunes library to iphone 3gs

    I have had numerous problems with iphone 3gs so I reset it to factory settings but now I can't drag and drop my music from itunes library to iphone.  I have checked the box to manage music manually but still no joy, any suggestions pls?

    Because you do not have manually manage music selected?

    Yes you can drag and drop music to the iPiod if you select Manually Manage Music and Videos in  iTunes.

  • Cannot get songs from Itunes (iOS 6.1.3) to iphone 4s..HELP!

    I have a pc running Itunes 6.1.3, and and Iphone 4s.  I have exhausted every avenue I can trying to get songs from itunes into my iphone 4s.  I've unchecked every box and checked every box I could find, reinstalled itunes completely, restored the iphone to factory settings, checked manually manage songs, converted the songs, tried making a new playlist and then copy it to iphones... I can freely send songs to my Ipad.
    There is no song that I'm able to send to the iphone from itunes.  Here's what happens:
    I connect the iphone and it goes through the steps syncing with itunes...NO SONGS APPEAR.  Then, I'll try to re-sync with the boxes checked for what songs to send to the iphone, it goes through the steps and the blue area (audio) appears as if the songs would be sent to the iphone, and when it gets done syncing, the songs don't appear, and the blue area disappears.
    I had no problem syncing before the 6.1.3 was installed.
    I have tried all the solutions that have appeared online and nothing has helped.  Has anybody else encounted this problem??

    Hi firmflange,
    That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
    If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:
