How do you add one song to a playlist already on iPod?

When I attempt to _add one song_ to a playlist already on iPod, the one song ends up as a separate playlist.
*Things I have done so far.*
My playlist is titled +"Slow Jams."+
I changed the one song "Get Info" to the exact same settings of the songs on my +"Slow Jams"+ iTunes/iPod playlist.
Synced the one song through +Devices>Name iPod.+
Eject the iPod, check its playlist & the one song appears in its own playlist.
====
Tried syncing the one song through Devices>Music
Still shows up on iPod in its own playlist.
====
Tried syncing the one song through +Devices>Music>Slow Jams+
Same result as above.
====
Read the PDF manual - Unless I blinked one to many times, nothing in there about adding one song to a playlist already on the iPod. Nothing in Knowledge Base that I could find.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is the last resort the only way to go?
*Last resort (which I would like to avoid before I call AppleCare):*
Deleting the iPod "Slow Jam" playlist & then resyncing the iTunes "Slow Jam" playlist (with that one song added) back onto the iPod.

How can I add a song to a playlist on my iPod?

Since I upgraded to iTunes 12, I can't seem to add a song from my music to a playlist on my iPod.
I tried two different ways:
1) Click on Music, then click on Playlists, and show Songs. Open up the iPod in the sidebar by twirling the arrow next to the iPod. I can add a song to the iPod by dragging it over iPod / Music, but I cannot add a song to a playlist by dragging it directly over the playlist name.
2) Click on iPod / Music. Try to drag the song from the iPod's music list to the iPod's playlist. Again, it won't let me.
So, how on earth do I add a song to a playlist???
Thanks

Hey ElisabethR,
I see that you wish to edit some of the playlists on your iPod from your computer and add some songs to them. The best way to do this would be to change the playlist as you wish in iTunes on your computer:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Create a playlist
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12340
Then, you can sync these playlists onto your iPod using the information in this article:

How can i remove one song from a playlist on the iPod?

I would like to remove a single song from a playlist. When i connect to my laptop and click manually mangage music, i don't see an option for deleting a song. I can click on the song, but delete does not work. I also tried dragging to the trash, also unsuccessful.

If you want to delete songs directly from the iPod, it needs to be set to Manually manage music on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. If you are using automatic syncing, you cannot delete songs directly from the iPod; instead, you update (remove songs from) the playlist(s) being synced to the iPod.
If the iTunes sidebar (left side of iTunes window) is visible, select the iPod under the heading DEVICES. If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under the iPod. Click on Music there. Over to the right, you see the list of songs currently on the iPod. If the iPod is set to Manually manage music, you should be able to delete songs from that list. Select the song (or set of songs) you want to delete, and press Delete on the keyboard.

How do you add new songs to existing playlist on iphone 5?

Before the update a few months ago I was able to add new songs to an existing playlist by hitting the Edit button. Now I can only delete songs off of a playlist. Has anyone figured out how to add new songs or do I just have to create a new playlist? I really hope I don't because they will all be the same then.

What could I do to be able to add more pages to a document?

How do you delete a song from a playlist in iTunes?

I feel stupid asking this question but how do you delete a song from a playlist? right clicking doesn't give a menu option to do it, and neither does the file menu. The highlight/delete option doesn't work either.
Also, I've ended up with several copies of the same songs in my library . Can i delete the excess tracks in one go without highlighting them?
Thanks,
Dom

Option-delete will remove a selected track from a playlist AND the library. Delete will just remove the track from a regular playlist.
Yes, you need to highlight all the songs you want to delete. Sort your library by song title. This should put all the dups together for easy highlighting and deleting.

How do you get the songs in a playlist to play in order-mine seems to want to shuffle them, even though shuffle is off!

Are you sure it's actually shuffling the songs (i.e. the list of songs play in a different order each time through the list)?
You may need to re-order this playlist in iTunes as resync it to your device.

How do I add certain songs and playlists to my iPhone but not others?

Hi all,
I recently installed iTunes 11.0 onto my MacBook Pro, and I yearn for the days of far simpler content management. All I want to do is add certain songs and playlists from my computer onto my iPhone without re-syncing the entire thing (every time I do, sound files that I created for work find their way onto my phone, and I have to re-delete them every time). But I can't figure out how to simply add ONE song or ONE playlist to what is already there. In the previous version, it was so simple--just point, click, and drag. Now I can't figure it out and I feel like an idiot. Can anyone show me how to do such an absurdly simple thing?
Thanks,
Neil

When you sync your phone with your laptop (or other device that has the songs you want), go into your music preferences and choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres." This should allow you to select the three songs you want from your library. Make sure to click or tap on "apply" or else the changes will not be saved. Let the phone completely sync and those three songs should be in your phone's music library.
Hope this helps!

How do you add multiple iTunes to Keynote

How do you add multiple songs from the iTunes to your Keynote presentation?

Jer&Renee,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
It depends where you want them in your presentation.
Open the Media inspector and choose a playlist. In the list of entries, mark those you want to add to Keynote (use command-click to mark multiple titles not in one block).
Then drag the marked titles either on a slide or on the small Audio field (looks like a frame) in Document inspector. When you then hover the cursor at the Audio "frame", you'll see the quick info "Multiple Files". You cannot change the order or remove one of the files, but only all of them.

How do you add more than one song to library.....

How do you add more than one song to the library using the "Add File to Library" option? I just upgraded to itunes 7.1.1.5 from an early version and used to be able to do this but now it want let me, it only lets me add one song at a time. I don't want to use the "Add Folder" option because it adds m3u playists and all kinds of things I don't want to be in my library. Is this a glitch? because it doesn't make sense.

When using the "add file to library" feature, hold down the CNTL (control) button as you pick your songs...
DON'T RELEASE THE BUTTON UNTIL YOU HAVE SLECTED ALL THE SONGS...
then just hit hit the button to add them a voila
