Help! Unable to add music or change anything in iTunes

For some reason, I am unable to add music to my library. It also will not let me change/modify titles, artists, etc. It will work on my wifes account but not mine. We both have admin status.
I do not understand how this happened. We both have read/write permission. Any idea what is wrong?

had a similar issue about it "not responding properly" and i went back to apple and got a new superdrive put in and have had no problems since.

  • Unable to add music from hard drive to iTunes

    I have recently upgraded to iTunes 7.01 add for some reason my music was missing from the itunes library. I cannot add any of the files from the hard drive to the itunes library. They are all files that I have copied over from CD and there was no issues with them in itunes 6. Any help would be appreciated.

    Solved. I changed the iT folder and my iP got lost the connection with the proper library. Had to change it back and re-connect to the correct library.

  • Unable to add music to playlists

    Since downloading the latest iTunes software 10.4 (80), i am unable to add songs to existing playlists on itunes and my iphone 4. please help.

    First of all make sure it is a regular playlist (note symbol) and not a smart playlist (gear symbol).  OK so far?
    If that is not the problem, you may be encountering the intermittent bug that affects drag-n-drop into playlists.  The workaroud is to right-click the file, use "Add To Playlist" and pick the list you want.

  • Is there a way i can add music from my iphone to itunes without paying

    is there a way i can add music from my iphone to itunes without paying

    If the content was purchased via iTunes, either redownload it via iTunes on the computer or transfer purchases from the device tot he computer.  With the device connected, select File > Transfer Purchases.
    If the content was not purchased via iTunes, copy it from the computer that it was originally synced to the device to the new computer.

    Cdadd,
    If by any chance you have made purchases with more than one account, you must check for past purchases separately for each account.

  • Unable to add music to my  iTunes.

    I have music on my computer but I'm unable to add it to iTunes. I've tried clicking and dragging it in and I've tried File>Add to library and neither work. Anyone got any ideas?

    I managed to dig up the CD's that the tracks came from and imported them directly from the CD's to the library. I still am not sure why transferring the files from my computer did not work, but at least I have the music on there now. Thanks so much for your help!

  • Cannot add music from hard disk to itunes

    Help me i cant add music from my seagate freeagent go to my itunes. i tried to drag it in but it doesnt appear in the library

    if those files are MP3s, try running them by _*MP3 Validator*_ before adding.
    could also be due to permissions problems.
    check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
    the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !

  • I can no longer manually add music to my iPhone from iTunes; what happened?

    Recently I have been unable to add new music to my iPhone from iTunes. I used to be able to just select the songs I wanted, then drag and drop them onto to the phone by hovering over the iPhone icon. Now I get a crossed-out circle icon when I try to do this. Why is this happening, and how can I work around it? I'm pretty frustrated, as you can imagine!

    Thanks for the judgmental response, Dave. My favorite part was where you told me how to manage the space on my computer. My second favorite part was when you accused me to stealing music.
    I have only synced my iPhone with one computer and its iTunes library. I download music legally to that computer, from mixtape sites, Bandcamp, Amazon and---GASP---other none iTunes sites, load it onto my iPhone, then delete some of it, because I don't listen to music on my computer. I listen to it on a device I purchased to play it. That device is called an iPhone. It's supposed to play mp3s.
    Have I blown your mind?
    But if I am hearing you right, you are telling me the iPhone is literally the only mp3 player in existence that doesn't and shouldn't have the basic functionality to have new mp3s loaded to it from a single authorized computer. That I should be happy now that I cannot load new music onto it, and I should just live with the music that I have already loaded, since I can't load anymore.
    And that I should be happy that this basic functionality that, until the most recent software update, I have always had has magically disappeared.
    How foolish it was of me to be upset about this! Thank you for showing me the light, Dave.
