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?

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 get my music to sync with iTunes?

I couldn't find this answer, Basically, I added 2xSSD's in my Windows PC and reinstalled iTunes. I had certain songs on my ipod touch (about 900) and I have about 3000 in my iTunes that are all checked now after the reinstall of iTunes. I never created a list, but rather just chose music along the way and sync'd them that way. How can I get just the Music on my iPod touch to sync with itunes in a way that I don't have to uncheck all the songs in iTunes? Or do I have to start all over again?

Try to Maually Add/Delete songs from your iPod.

How do i set up a used iPad with iTunes account

Hi, my friend has recently bought a second hand iPad and has been having problems using it with her iTunes account. She has the latest version installed on her laptop but when the iPad is connected, a window opens to say it cannot be used because it requires iTunes 10.1 or later.
Is it possible to use a second hand device with an existing iTunes account and how do you get the latest version of iTunes on the iPad?
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry that I mentioned 'daughter' rather than 'friend'.
Has she access to another computer with iTunes. If so, attach it to that briefly to see if she gets the same message. If she does not then the problem is iTunes on her own laptop. This can be resolved in two ways. If the iTunes update was recent then do a system restore on the laptop and then update iTunes again. (Be careful that such a restore has not ramifications as regards to new programmes installed in the interim.) Now try connecting again. The second option, as quoted earlier by Demo, is to forget about the system restore (on the laptop) and reinstall iTunes. The following should help - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925

How can i manually remove songs from Ipod with itunes 11? Please Help

I am trying to remove a single song from my kids Ipod 5th gen ipod with itunes 11.0.1.2. With older versions of itunes i was able to right click on the content that i wanted to remove and select delete. I for the life of me can not figure out how to remove content with itunes 11. i have a lot of apple devices , iphone,ipad,ipod touch, and so on and so on. I am so frusterated that i feel like thowing it all in the garbage and starting over with another product.

Everything works the same in iTunes 11 as in previous versions.

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.

How to download pictures and music from Ipad (no Itunes)?

Hi.. a week ago someone broke into my home and they stoled stuff (inlcuding my macbook). The only photos I still have are in my Ipad.
How can I download these photos to another mac (not the ones taken with the camera, but the ones synced with my stolen macbook)?
Unfortunately, the available mac that my mom lended to me is from 2007 and the OS is less than 10.5, which is requirement for the latest Itunes (needed for my Ipad2).
So as you can see I am in trouble. Is there a way to download the pictures (and/or music) without using Itunes?
please Help.!

Backup, backup...
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

How do I see my iPhone or iPad with iTunes 11.0.1.12? Used to show up on side of iTunes.

When I updated iTunes, it no longer has the side bar where you would see your iPhone in itunes.
With the new software, you cannot see your device.
Is there a way to find the device in iTunes or where do I find it?
I hate to say this, but I am trying to be a fan of Apple, but everytime I move forward with the company, they make things worse.
Thanks for the help.

I just restarted iTunes and the phone showed up.
That only worked one time.
I closed iTunes and the phone does not show up.

HT1711 With the new version of iTunes, how do I manually add or remove music to my iPhone? I don't see my playlist anymore on the left...

App asserts I must have iTunes ver. 9.1 or later.
Where are you seeing this?
The app is not telling you that you need 9.1 on your iPad.
It does not use iTunes on the iPad for anything.
I'm trying to figure the version on my iPad.
It is the version that comes with your specific iOS firmware version.
But again, it is irrelevant to the app.
If you just got the iPad, it (the iPad) requires iTunes 10.4 on your computer.

I brought a new ipad 2 4th generation and have tried to download music from icloud to it but it appears to download and then is not on the ipad. I have also tried to manually add music from iTunes but that doesn't work either? What is going wrong?

You are not using iTunes Match are you? If you are, you have to turn it off on the device before you sync with iTunes but I'm not sure how that impacts manually managing music in iTunes. I would also assume that if you use Match, the songs would download from the cloud by using Match on the device.
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Support - Apple
This is sort of a long shot, but it's easy to try and won't hurt anything. Close all the apps on the iPad in the recents tray and reboot the iPad, then try again. I saw this work for someone else a while back that couldn't download or sync music, but I think it was probably just a coincidence, but as I said, it will not hurt to try.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

What happened to manually add music?

I'm in iTunes 8.2 and I no longer have the option to manually add music to an iPod. I'm required to sync. What happened to this feature?

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.

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes. When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load. [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to

Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

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.
