Cant add my own music

As it says in the title, this problem has appeared out of nowhere - everything is up to date.
If I for example add an album of my own music onto my iphone 5 (music purchased from itunes work fine) the second I add even one single song, purchased from itunes or from my own collection, it deletes everything that wasn't purchased from the itunes store - as in the little exclamation appears next to the songs and they aren't playable anymore. There is no notification for syncing, nothing related to syncing seems to be switched on. Really have no idea what's happening, it just started happening last night after I accidentally deleted seven hundred f***ing songs because I synced 2 photos.

Yes and yes. It's not hyperbole when I say it has worked absolutely fine everyday for the last 5 years until last night. The only thing that changed is I loaded a backup after I accidentally deleted all my bloody music!
There is definitely an issue though:
Can't sync music anymore with iOS 8. All disappeared.
Didn't realise that thread was describing my problem.

  • Add my own music videos to iTunes

    When i add a music video or an episode of TV show to iTunes, it will always file it under the "Movies" tab. The music videos i buy on iTunes will always be filed under "Music Videos"...i have tried playing around to tag my own music videos as "music Videos" in iTunes with no success..Does anyone know what i have to do to get it to work?!!

    You can set the kind to "Movie" or "Music Video" as follows:
    In the iTunes library find the video and then Right click it / Get Info / Options tab / Video kind and choose.
    It would be nice if there were more choices but this may be enough for you.

  • Music 'frozen' in itunes - cant add or delete music

    i recently got a new laptop - so i downloaded itunes..connected my iphone wanting to add music and transfer music to my comp - but all the music is 'frozen' and so not clickable :/
    what do i do.
    it worked normally on my normal comp.
    but not on the laptop.
    it can charge on my laptop..just cant do anything with music
    please help me

    iphone can sync with only one computer at a time. You cannot access the music from a different computer. You cannot move music from the iphone to the computer - the music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The iphone is not a storage device ( it does not support disk mode like ipods). You should move your itunes library from your old computer to your new one, before you sync.
    In order to sync with the new computer, itunes will erase the current music from the iphone.
    You can transfer itunes purchased music. With iphone connected, in itunes click File>Transfer Purchases.
    You should really keep a back up of important info/music/pics on an external source.

  • Why won't it let me add my own music to playlists?

    I was wanting to hear I Need You To Love Me by BarlowGirl (the real version, not the acoustic version Spotify has), and I started a new playlist to add a bunch of songs I have on my computer including that one. There were 20 songs I was trying to move into the playlist, and only two songs (Lost In Love by Air Supply and Love Me Tomorrow by Chicago) transferred. No matter what I do, it won't let me put those other 18 songs into the Spotify playlist. Also, I can't find most of my own music in the "Local Files" tab. I understand that not all the music in the world will be on Spotify, and I understand why The Beatles and others aren't on there, but why can't I make a Beatles "LOVE" playlist by dragging the album into Spotify? I am a Premium user, so I don't understand why I can't add whatever song I want to my own playlists.

    Seriously Spotify team, PLEASE get on this issue! It's been like this for a majority of 2015 so far and no changes. I have to downgrade to an earlier version of Spotify to be able to create new playlists of local files that I've bought offline that Spotify doesn't have.  I think Spotify has been upgraded numerous times since this issue came to light and it STILL hasn't been fixed; every time there's an upgrade, instead of enjoying new features I have to curse and swear under my breath as I re-downgrade my spotify to be able to do this one very important thing (create local file playlists.) 
    This is a huge problem and should have been addressed immediately instead of just ignored for so long. PLEASE lets fix this issue so your users can actually USE your latest software! 

  • Do I need an iTunes account to add my own music to an iPod touch?

    I've always had and used my iTunes account when setting up one of my devices, but I'm soon going to set up iTunes with a new iPod and fresh install of iTunes for someone on their computer.
    They don't want to set up an iTunes account right away but do want to put music on the iPod. I don't know if you need an account to do that or if you can just pair up the iPod with iTunes without an account until your ready.
    The music to be put on the iPod will be ripped from cd's bought from a store (not home-made.)
    Any information on this would be helpful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jacob Schmoyer

    Why would you not set up an Apple ID?  IF the concern is about the payment information, simply set it to "none" on the account.
    I could be mistaken, but I believe iOS devices require an Apple ID to activate and setup.

  • Cant add new music after ios 5.0 update to iPhone4

    Ill add music like i have been doing and the songs that i try to add just sit in the list grey like they would when you would first try to upload, but they never upload or even start to. All my old music still plays as far as i know, but i just cant add any new music. Is there something i need to set up in summary or something?

    Hi there PrincessF,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Adding my own music to iTunes Store

    i know i saw this information some place. Since it wasnt what i was looking for at the moment, i just glanced over it.
    What are the details for individuals to add their own music to iTunes, and make it available for purchase?
    Would ther requirements involve:
    being on a record label?
    Contractual agreements between Apple and The artist?
    etc etc

    i know i saw this information some place. Since it wasnt what i was looking for at the moment, i just glanced over it.
    did the same thing myself. took me an hour or so to find it again ... but i have a link stashed away for it now.
    this page is probably the best place to start:

  • Cant add or delete songs from iphone

    I had to reinstall windows and itunes and now my phone syncs but I cant add or delete music.  Any suggestions?
    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

    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.

  • Why cant i add my own sound to apps like facebook e mail and twitter

    why cant i add my own sounds to apps like facebook e mail twitter

    "add my own sounds to" - do you mean notification sounds??  If so, they are set by the App developer and can't be changed (other than disable).
    "Why" - this is a user-to-user support forum.  No one here can answer "why" Apple does or doesn't do anything.

  • I have been buying adds on Google's adwords campaign but cant see my own adds.

    ''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/960100 - locking''
    When in my firefox browser doing a google search, I cant see the adds to the right and on the top of a search page. I have been buying adds on Google's adwords campaign but cant see my own adds. is there a setting I need to correct to be able to view these adds?

    Firefox doesn't natively block ads. However, there are some extensions that could affect ads. Can you check here for anything that might possibly be blocking or filtering ads or scripts (e.g., Adblock Plus, NoScript), or that modifies pages in any way (e.g., Greasemonkey, Stylish):
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If you have ever created a custom style rule in a userContent.css file, you migh check that to. (If this doesn't sound familiar at all, then never mind.)

  • With Adobe Premier Elements 13 can I add my own audio tracks by pulling music from my files and by using my UBS microphone?

    Please remind us on what computer operating system your Premiere Elements 13 is running
    Using your own music.....
    Yes, with important but.....
    Details
    If your music is from iTunes, more than likely you will get some sort of error message from the program when you try to import the iTunes music into Premiere Elements (most versions including 13). In that case, please convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes using the following iTunes instructions.

    If you are getting program error message using Premiere Elements 13 Add Media/Files and Folder with other than iTunes music, please give the source and properties of that music.
    Using USB Microphone....Not recommended by Adobe....See Adobe ReMe
    Details
    As for Premiere Elements narration clips using the its Narration Tool
    1. Adobe documentation indicates the USB microphone do not work in Premiere Elements and suggest the use of microphones that connect to the computer via computer jack.
    But, there are some scattered cases where the user has found a USB microphone that has worked for him or her.
    2. Be sure to check Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings to assure that Input and Output are enabled.
    3. There have been reports (Premiere Elements several versions) where addition of narration using the Narration Tool results in loss of pre-existing
    sound on numbered audio track clips and soundtrack.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Audio Losses After Narration Addition
    4. In my particular Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, I have found that I need to set the Mic Sensitivity all the way to the left to avoid
    serious audio distortion.
    I have tried to give you an overview to avoid surprises if you have not used the features that you pointed to in your thread question. Please let me know if you need further information.
