Cant add music to playlist

so yeah i have windows 8 and itunes hates it. everytime i try to add music to an already made playlist it crashes or it does not add. not to mention it keeps adding multiples of songs to my library when i have one file for the song... it hates windows 8

hey there lindseyroyal!
I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing in iTunes with Windows 8. The article is for Windows Vista and 7, but the steps still apply in Windows 8. That article can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Cant add songs to playlist

    just got a new ipod, transfered songs from old ipod to laptop, put songs onto new ipod.  Now the problem....i cant add songs to a playlist, the arrow doesnt give me the add to option and i cant drag them.....i have multiple devices , ipad, 2 iphones and now this ipod....itunes says downloading song x to match, what the heck is that and why is it taking so long?  do i have a library conflict or something?  i constantly struggle with syncing and manually manage this and that and all these songs will be deleted and synced with this library, etc....you get the picture.....can anybody give me the crash course of apple products 101? i never had any problems when i just had an ipod years ago but when we got multiple devices and accounts and cloud everything has become much more difficult.

    What sort of Playlist?
    You can only drag songs into regular Playlists, but not into Smart Playlists. In the picture below, the highlighted Playlists with the "musical note on paper" are regular Playlists, into which you can add songs:
    The Playlists with a "cog wheel" beside them are Smart Playlists. Songs are added to these lists according to the rules you set for that list. You cannot drag songs into them and if you try, you will see the red circle with the slash.
    Is this the problem?

  • Cant add music to my ZEN V plus HE

    i have this problem. when ever i jet in my USB to my computer, a window that say view files/play music/bah bah bah? does not pop out... meaning i cant open my vplus to add music... i only have this problem with my this com... wheres another computer whenever i jet in it will appear a dock sign on my MP3...therefore do not have any problems adding music.
    so do i need to install a special programm or something?

    I had a similar problem. Seemed to be a prog registry conflict beteen Creative's software. So I: unistalled everything Creative. Restarted and defragged the comp.. Then I Ran the CD that came with my ZEN Player and only installed the Media Explorer and ran a firmware check on the player, plus got the Plays for Sure reinstalled off the Creative site that matched my player. Goodluck.

  • Add Music to Playlist

    After a few minutes using the desktop version (Windows 8.1, 64) the drag music to playlist won't work anymore: I need to close the app and open again. Same if I select the music, and choose to add in some playlist. I tried with different playlists, and the behaviour is the same. Att, Marcelo Santos. 

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No. Every song is in the Library, and a playlist is a subset of the Library.

  • I cant add music

    after i reformatted my computer my ipod could still connect to my computer but i couldnt play in my ipod and i couldnt add music to my ipod. i tryed using ipod updater but it didnt work. can somebody please help me?

    When it's connected do you see your songs in iTunes as grey text and with a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen? If so your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually

  • User account with sharing permissions to home iTunes library but I cannot add music to playlist created

    I have created a new user account on my iMac and set up itunes which will allow me to see and play music from my "home" or main user's library.  I wanted to create a new playlist in the new user side however itunes is not allowing me to add music to this playlist.  I am getting the following message:
    There was a problem downloading "Song Name".  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.  Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
    How can I correct this problem?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • Ios 7.1 iphone4s update means i cant add music to my phone!

    Since updating to ios 7.1 i can no longer add music to my iphone.
    I plug it in and it starts syncing then gets stuck on step 5 - waiting for changes to be applied (even though there are none)
    when i try to drag and drop music by going on phone - add to.. etc nothing happens.  sometiomes they appear but greyed outr as if they are waiting to transfer onto the phone but nothing happens.  This is really starting to annoy the heck out of me.  i did have a similar problem a couple of weeks ago and must've restored my phone to a previous version.  then i downloaded the ios 7.1 update again by mistake...
    it truly *****!! 
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe that iOS 7 requires iTunes 11. You may need to update your iTunes file.
