How do I add content to my iphone using itunes?

I have watched the tutorial, and I know that once my iphone is plugged in, it shows up in itunes, I should be able to click on that, and then choose "add to" and simply drag and drop items onto my iphone. However, the "add to" button just will not show up. I cannot seem to figure out why.
I thought maybe it had to do with selecting "manually manage music and videos" in the summary info of my iphone in itunes, so I selected that, but when I try and apply that a warning screen comes up saying that my iphone is synced with another itunes library on another computer (it is/was... I have another computer that used to be my primary computer) and it asks me if I want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes libary... which I don't!! I don't want to erase what is already on my iphone, I just want to be able to add content to it? Why is itunes so bloody difficult all the time? Anyway, with this warning screen, I only have the option to either erase and sync, or cancel the change in my settings.
Anyway, help!
Am I missing something?
Thanks

How does one remove content from iPod/iPhone using iTunes 11

Well, I can more or less get content on my mobile devices with iTunes 11 (managed manually, as I've always done). How do I get it off? I have a series of files formatted as audiobooks (continuing education). I put them on my iPhone (for in the office) and iPod (in the car to work). Now I'm done - and can't get them off. Going on the Music app doesn't allow me to remove an audiobook, and that's never been an option on the iPod. When I try to do it through iTunes, I get the following:
Pod: I can at least FIND the files on "On This iPod", but cannot find any option to delete (and I tried both del and command-del). I ended up having to set it up to sync, which I dont like as I typically (for space issues) keep my audiobook library on an external disk - anything I put on the Pod has to stay on the hard drive till I finish listening to it.
Phone: I can't view the content on the phone other than apps. Via iTunes, I can't even see what's there, much less do anything with it.
Am I missing something? There seems to be no option to manually manage media anymore - I can't do it without syncing, and that requires me to leave everything on my hard drive indefinitely.
If anyone's found a solution I missed (other than the process to revert back to 10.7, that is), I;d appreciate a point in the right direction. Mahalo!

To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect. Deselect the required Audiobooks and Click Sync

How do I delete songs & podcast from iPhone using iTunes on new MacBook Pro

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro after years of using PC.
First thing I have to say is that I love it. I've had a couple of problems here-and-there but these have been teething issues which these discussion boards have mostly helped me resolve... I have been unable to resolve this one issue though which I was hoping that someone could help me with....
I have plugged my iPhone into my new Mac and let it appear in iTunes but when I attempt to delete old songs or podcasts from the iPhone it does not let me delete them... I've tried holding control and clicking on the items- hoping that delete would be an option, but it isn't. Also I've notice that delete is not one of my options in the edit tab at the top of iTunes.
I understand that I can delete individual podcasts and albums/songs through the iPhone itself by swiping right and selecting delete but when I do this for All individual episodes of a podcast then the main header for the "show" still remains...
Would love if someone could help me with this- need to be able to manage the songs and podcast on my iPhone.
Thankyou for your time.

"Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
" Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
"And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
I understand completely.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

When I moved all my music stored in my Windows 7 user account under the My Music folder to my PC's 'Public Music' folder, I could no longer add/delete music or movies to my iPhone using iTunes. How do I fix this?

I have been synching my iPhone with iTunes without problems for a long time. I also used iTunes to add/change/delete Music & Videos on my iPhone with tuch contents from my iTunes Library.
One day, I decided to move all my Music stored on my laptop's Windows 7 User Account under "My Music" to the Windows 7 User "Public" under "Public Music". When I opened iTunes, all my music was gone so I just added the folder "Public Music" to my iTunes Library, iTunes did some work and all my music was then back, listed in my iTunes.
However, when I would synch my iPhone now, when I view the music or movie contents in my iPhone using iTunes, I can no longer ADD Music or Movies to my iPhone and I cannot delete music or movies in my iPhone using iTunes anymore.
How do I fix this? Please help.

Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

How do i add media to my iphone from another computer without syncing and deleting all the info currently on it

My iphone was synced to my old computer
How do i add content to my phone from my new computer. It says i can only be synced with one computer and it will delete everything on my phone to sync with the new computer.
This doesn't make much sense. What am i missing?

It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.
