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.

I have an iphone 4s with 2gb of free space and when i try to put music on it, it tells me i cant because there is no space and im only adding 8mb so i cant add new music.. PLEASE HELP!

Please HELP

I'm having this same problem. I've got 21.36G audio, 8.73 photos, 11.64 apps, 2.12 other, and negligable books and video. With all of this, I have 13.27 gigs free, and the sync error says I need about 8 gigs more. I've got an iPhone 4S running the latest iOS 6. Also, I've been using checked items to manage what gets downloaded to the iPhone, and I noticed that the checked items add up to much, much more than is on the iPhone, even though I've downloaded within the last few weeks and have songs from a few weeks ago on the iPhone. Even so, there are about a hundred fewer songs on the iPhone than are checked in iTunes.

Add New Music?

My computer crashed and now I cant add new music to my ipod that I have on itunes on my new comp. Any ideas on how to do this? Thank you!

You can put in a request at this link but whether the music can be sold on the iTunes Store will depend on the owners willingness to licence it for addition. There's no guarantee that the request will be successful: iTunes Requests

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

When I add new music to iTunes, it doesn't appear under artists or anywhere else in library.

The other night, I tried adding a bunch of music that I had sitting on my Seagate external hard drive to my iTunes library, which is also located on my external. I attempted to add around 1,500 songs at once. It was giving me problems at first and only added some of the music so I tried again. Now I have a problem.
When I add new music, iTunes only recognizes that I added it after I close iTunes are restart it. But then, the music doesn't show up under artists or anything. The new music shows up under the Recently Added smart playlist, the folder is located in the iTunes library, and when you search for the music it says its there, but it's not under artists or in the song list or anything.
Example:
1. Added music from Abandon All Ships! (who I didn't have before), but they don't show up under artists despite the fact that iTunes says the music is there.
2. Added music from Whitechapel (who I had before), but the album doesn't show up with the rest.
Hopefully this makes sense the way I explained it. It's all rather frustrating.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8. Itunes is now on the new computer. New songs apear there and will play on the computer.

I plugged my ipod into the computer, it "interacted" briefly, but when finished, the new songs were not on the ipod. (It is an older ipod I have had for years). I just read on a different post how to access the latest itunes program update. I did that, then plugged the ipod into the computer again. The ipod is now real busy interacting with the computer a lot longer. Maybe that fixed it. I will let you know after it is finished. Thanks for the help!

I can't add new music to my iPod

Everytime I want to add new music, remove old or change something in my music library I can't do it and I don't know why, I know the version I have is a little bit old but it's stull working, so it will be very helpful if someone tell me what I should do

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

HT1351 We had 2 computers: his itunes library on one, and mine on the other. We got rid of both of those and got a new computer. I put music on the new computer. My ipod songs are not on itunes. Will I erase them if I sync? How do I add new music?

Ipod "Syncs" but doesn't add new music

My ipod has always worked perfectly fine with my computer and itunes. Yesterday I added a new mixCD to my itunes and tried to sync it with my ipod. My ipod shows up in the sidebar, and goes through a "sync" process, but hasn't added the new music.
Additionally I tested my ipod's syncing abilities by changing the name of a song on my itunes. This song is already on my ipod touch, so if it synced properly, the name should change. I hit "sync" but name did not change and my new music remained missing on my ipod.
Does anyone have any idea what this problem might be? I feel like it's probably something very minor I'm just not understanding.
PS I have a second gen Ipod touch, but have yet to update it, could this be the problem?

See if your Touch is set for "Manually manage music and video" (connect ot iTunes, look at the iPod's summary page). If so, then any changes you make in iTunes will not sync to the Touch -- that includes new music you add to iTunes, and changes you make to your library. If your iPod is in manual mode then you need to manually add new music, and if you change your library in any way you need to manually add the updated song(s) and delete the original version(s) on your Touch.
If you don't want your iPod in manual mode, un-check the "Manually manage music and video" option in iTunes and click the Apply button. You will then be able to synchronize your Touch to iTunes.

Pinned tabs no longer there & cant add new ones

When I open Firefox, the areas where the nine pinned tabs used to be are blanked out.
I can no longer click a site that was in them and I cant add new ones.
I have done an uninstall and reinstall of Firefox, this didn't work.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
