How to manually add music

I want to add music manually from my mac. however when i try to set it up to do that, it wipes my itouch music out completely and have to do a complete re-sync for music from the Library. Isn't there some way to sync it and only add new music that i have added?
Also, how do only add certain tracks on the albums that I have added to library. thanks in advance to help!

I just use the manually manage music selection. I don't ever sync music because my music library would be huge and I constantly add and delete music.

  • How to manually add music from your library

    I'm attempting to manually add an album in my library onto my iphone library, but it won't let me.
    On the phone summary it only has "Manually manage videos" and not music, and on the Music tab it only allows me to add voice memos.
    Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

  • 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.

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • How do I add music to a school owned iPad 2?

    I have an iPad 2, that my school has loaned out to me. When I connect the iPad to my computer the actual iPad says, "Not connected", and iTunes says, "this iPad is supervised by another computer and cannot be used with this computer. Is there a way that I can add music to the iPad without deleting anything from the iPad??? I asked one of the teachers how I could add music and she said, " Here is my hint, you need to use the cloud to add music to your iPad, but i don't know what to do from that step. Please help!

    I think your teacher was referring to iTunes match. It's $25 a year. Which really when you think about it is only $2 a month. Not bad but as a student I know that still quite a bit. I'm currently trying to figure out a way outside using iTunes Match myself. I'd be very surprised if there was a way since the iPad says it supervised meaning that it can only be allowed to be managed by one computer. Pretty much just a bum deal on your end. If you have purchases you can obviously go through iTunes>purchases and download from there.

  • How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store.  For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them.  Not sure about Apple TV.  I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

    How do you add music to iPhone in Itunes it doesn't show up in the right hand corner anymore?

    Reboot your computer. In iTunes go to View menu. Does it say Hide Sidebar? If it does look the iPhone in the left sidebar in iTunes.
    If it says Show Sidebar and you still don't see the iPhone on the upper right try choosing Show Sidebar and look on the left.
    If it's still not showing see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

    They are not that expensive, but regardless, if better care had been taken with the cable to keep it in good working condition (i.e. not jerking the cable out, bending it tightly) then it would still be in very good, usable condition.
    I still have and use the sync cable that came with my original 3GS four years ago.

    What have you tried, and do you receive an error message?
    In general, itunes has DRM (copy protection) so it will only work according to the license... and as far as I know, Apple's license does not allow use in a new product, only in the Apple player... new product being the video you want to create

  • How do I add music from itunes to imovie

    How do I add  music  from  itunes to imovie?

    Hi
    I do
    • Never use .mp3 (or other strange formats)
    • Never import directly from iTunes
    • Convert all to .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD 44.1kHz .aiff
    In iTunes I collect needed audio into a new PlayList
    - then burn them as a Standard Audio-CD (.aiff)
    to convert .mp3 or other formats to .aiff I use - Audacity™ (free from Internet)
    and in all my movie projects in - iMovie HD6 or iMovie'11 or FinalCut Express or Pro - I use these .aiff files.
    I have near to Zero problem with Audio in my projects.
    Yes - tedious. Yes there might be better ways - BUT - YES I hate to re-do my projects and the Audio never makes me to do that this way.
    Yours Bengt W
