How can I manually add music to my iDevice with iCloud (especially Ineligible)?

Greetings!
Is there a way to manually manage my playlists on my iPhone now that I've signed up for iCloud? I've got some tracks that are ineligible (due to being 4 hours long, so conversion is not an option), and I'd like to get them moved over. But they're ineligible.
I would really like some way to manually manage my playlists anyway - it's goofy that I have to wait for music to upload to the cloud then have to re-download it before I can listen to it on my iPhone. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Andy

Thanks for the input. I suppose I could segment the file, that would be OK. It would be nicer if I could simply get the song onto the iDevice w/o doing anything special. Is there a way to *not* use iTunes Match for files like this? Since switching to iTunes in the Cloud / iTunes Match, I can no longer manually select playlists to synch from within iTunes. Is there something I'm missing? What do you mean by "the option on the iDevice to download all associated Song files"?
Thanks again for the help.
-Andy

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

  • HT1535 How do you manually add music to a device's playlist in iTunes 11??? YOU CAN'T!!!

    I don't know what Apple was thinking with iTunes 11, this is the worst iTunes EVER. Year after year, Apple continues to ruin what used to be a great app.
    In iTunes 11, your devices no longer appear on the left along side your playlists. There's now a spot in the top right corner that says the number of devices. If you click on that button you can see the devices that are connected, the ammount of free space and an eject icon but that's it. If you click on the device, you can set it up but I cannot seem to find a way to simply drag and drop a song from my music library to my iPod or more importantly to a specific playlist on my iPod. A very common thing... HOW DO I DRAG AND DROP SONGS INTO AN IPOD PLAYLIST IN ITUNES 11???
    If there is no answer, how do I downgrade my iTunes to 10 or 9???

    It's is Sooooooooo RETARTED!!! WHY CAN'T I MANUALLY ADD PLAYLISTS TO MY IPHONE??? AFTER I PURCHASE MUSIC IN ITUNES I THEN USUALLY CREATE A PLAYLIST (In Itunes 10.7) BECAUSE I FORGET THE ARTISTS!! AFTER I CREATE MY PLAYLIST I WOULD MANUALLY DRAG THAT PLAYLIST TO MY EXISTING IPHONE ICON AND VOILA! NOW I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!! I HAVE TO WRITE DOWN THE ARTSISTS NAMES AND ENTER THEM INTO THE SEARCH BAR AND ADD THE SONGS MANUALLY TO MY IPHONE ICON!!!! ITUNES 11 JUST PUTS ME IN A REALLY BAD MOOD! I'm soo mad and upset. First world problems yo...

  • How do I manual add music to Ipad with Itunes 12

    I can't figure out how to add music manually when synced to my itunes 12. I could just drag the song to the ipad icon in previous versions to add, but it doesn't appear to work the same way with this latest version.
    What am I missing?

    I don't have the latest version of iTunes, but on a hunch, do you have iTunes configured to Manually Manage Music and Videos in the settings?

  • Can I manually add music WITHOUT 'Erasing and Syncing'

    I've always been able to import individual songs from my iMac to my iPhone - however, I recently got a MacBook, and now all I'm able to do is create a new playlist under the little "iPhone" badge that appears once you connect it to the computer. Like when you click and drag a song with your iPhone connected, a bar slides out from the right side that typically allowed me to then drop it onto "Ethan's iPhone" which would in turn sync the song.
    I believe the solution to that is to check 'manually manage music and videos' under the iPhone settings page in iTunes - however, it then asks me to erase all of the music on my iPhone and sync it with my MacBook. But I would then lose a large majority of what I have since I imported a lot through CD's on my iMac.
    Is there anyway around this? I really just want to import one or two individual songs - not erase everything.

    Just add the songs you want to your iTunes library, go to 'iPhone', go to 'on this iPhone' and click 'autofill' at the bottom right

  • How can I share the music on my ipad with my imac using home sharing?

    I’ve been trying to share the music on my ipad with my imac. I've set my apple ID account on both of them but I can't get any of the songs I purchased on my ipad to my imac. Even though, when I click my albums it shares the music on my imac to  my ipad. the reason why I couldn't do this before was that I had recently purchased my ipad and created a new account that was different from the account on my imac. so can I use home sharing on itunes with my ipad and imac? and if not then how else could I share the music on my ipad to the itunes on my imac?

    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above makes it sound like it is one way, computer to mobile device.  Perhaps something below says differently.

  • How can I replace all music on my iPod with the music in my iTunes Library?

    My iPod Touch (5th Generation) contains all the music that I purchased on iTunes with my previous iPod. I managed to transfer all music, including those from CDs, from my old iPod onto iTunes (newest version), so I figured that I would sync my iPod to retrieve them. However, every time I sync my iPod with my music library, I get duplicates of the purchases that my iPod contains, but not of those from CDs. When I go onto the "Music" section in my iPod, no items are shown. I have all the music that I want sorted out in my iTunes Library, so I want to replace only the music on my iPod with the music in the Library. How do I do this, or at least delete the music on my iPod (but not iTunes) so I can sync the entire music library later?

    Correction: The music on my iPod doesn't show up in the "Music" section in "iPod" in iTunes.

  • How can I get pictures on iPhone to photostream with iCloud?  I can't sync with my Mac because it is older.

    I have an older mac so I know I can't photostream due to it not even having iPhoto .. but the real dilemna is how in the heck do I get my photos on my iPhone 4 to photostream with iCloud?  I have it turned on ... on my iPhone and still nothing in iCloudf???  So frustrated!

    Select your iPhone and under Options, check "Sync only checked songs and videos". This option actually also applies to Books, and all other media types. If they aren't already showing, go to iTunes>Preferences...>Show list views for all media and also Show list checkboxes. Then go to your Books section and select List view. Uncheck the books you do not want synced, and then sync your iPhone. Repeat for your iPad.
    Also, all newly added Books will automatically be checked. Hope you like that.

  • Can't manually add music anymore

    I always manage my music manually, never synced. Only my podcasts are synced...oh and an iphoto album.
    Anyway, I decided to sync a playlist in my itunes that I constantly change. It ended up erasing my entire ipod. OK, stupid me, I didn't know how it works. Fine.
    I then went to the iPod's MUSIC tab and unchecked the Sync Music button. It went and re-erased everything again. Fine. I synced my podcasts again and decided to just manually put all my music back. Now it won't do it. It's like the iPod's locked or something. I drag the music like I've always done, but it just bounces back to the iTunes library and won't go onto the iPod Touch.
    I looked and looked, but there doesn't appear to be anything locking it. It's my ipod on my computer, just like it's always been. The SYNC MUSIC button is UNCHECKED.
    Any ideas would be really good right about now.

    I seem to have this problem as well, but I have had that box checked the whole time. I recently changed computers, so I'm unsure whether that would affect it but I have a lot of music I would like on my iPod but can't without deleting my existing music

  • How can I manually add photos on my iPad to photostream?

    I must be missing something obvious because I can't find a way to drag existing photos from my iPad library to the photostream. These doesn't seem to be a path. I am hoping I don't have to email myself all the photos just to get them to my MacBook.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Photo Stream is for syncing NEWLY TAKEN photos across all your devices and computer. It's an ustomatic process, hence no real ability to addor delete from it.
    To manage other, older photos transfer them to your computer photo application, then use iTunes to select which photos, events or albums you want on your iPad.
