How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone 4 using iTunes 11?

How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone using iTunes 11?

If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

Okay thanks but what about if I'm trying to do a music lyric video is that illegal or legal?
Princess of Music,
If you obtained the music from a CD or an online download store, then you may use it for personal non-commercial purposes.
If you are using the music (or the movie that uses the music) for other purposes, you must obtain proper licensing.

If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of 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 music and movies 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 purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
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. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same Apple ID.

How do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?

how do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?
i stil have my old computer. but i have 500 songs. so i dont want to burn them onto cds then upload them. is there a way to transfer the songs from the ipod to my new computer?

Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod, iPhone or iPad. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

You need to import the music into iTunes on the computer and then sync them to your iPod. See:

How to setup iTunes on a PC to use existing music

My partner has a PC laptop provided by her work. She wishes to use iTunes with it but store her music on an external drive. We already have her previous iTunes library on an external drive, but we don't have the iTunes Library.itl file, etc.
My question is: how can my partner setup iTunes on her work laptop to use her previous iTunes library/music on her external drive?
My concerns are:
Changing iTunes preferences and telling it the iTunes library is in a folder on the external drive does nothing. iTunes just ignores the music in this folder because the iTunes Library.itl file, etc on the c:/ drive don't know anything about it. (It's a new installation of iTunes.)
I've already tried importing the previous iTunes library. We chose the File > Library > Add folder menu (if I've got that right) but it only imported about 500 songs from the various folders. This tells to me that iTunes for PC is buggy - it cannot scan many folders, either wide or deep, to find songs in subfolders.
Windows may allocate a different drive letter each time the external drive is attached. For example, if my partner is not VPN'd into her work network then Windows may allocate a "lower" drive letter for the exernal drive than if she is logged into her work VPN.
I'd rather not have to reimport all the songs.
We have a copy of all her former iTunes library music on both an iPod Classic and an iPhone 4. Is it possible and better to import the music from one of these devices?
Many thanks!

Although you can set up iTunes with the library on the C: drive and the media folder elsewhere there are, as you have found out, pitfalls with that approach. Ideally you would have access to the "old" library, complete with the .itl file and simply copy this onto the external drive. Failing that then I would recommend you build the library at X:\iTunes where X: is the current drive letter assigned to the external drive. Your media folder should be X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. If you deliberately assign a specific letter for your drive, perhaps M: for Media, then it should always be given that letter.
With your library redirected to the external drive, not just the media folder, if you do attempt to start iTunes with the drive not present iTunes will complain it can't find the library. Simply close iTunes, connect the drive and start iTunes again. All will be OK, no links will get broken, and you won't have to correct the media folder location.
Regarding specific points
1. Note, changing the media folder location only tells iTunes where to put new files that you rip, consolidate, download etc. It is not a command to scan that folder and add or replace the current content with what is found there.
2. When using the File > Library > Add folder to library method iTunes will ignore any files for which it has insufficient security permissions. Check these and ensure your user account and system have full access to the entire drive. A drive moved from one system to another may well not have the correct settings.
3. Dealt with above
4. Sounds like things are broken now, I guess you'll need to do what ever works. For the stuff that is currently in the library first copy the current iTunes folder from C: to X:\iTunes. Now click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the shift key. Choose the library on the external drive. Check the media folder has been reset to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, edit if necessary. At this stage I recommend you have the Edit > Preferences > Advanced options Keep iTunes Media folder organized turned on and Copy iTunes Media folder when adding to the library turned off. After fixing any potential issues with file permissions use iTunes Folder Watch to add in new files from your media folders and remove those that iTunes has lost track of. You can then either consolidate the content (creating duplicate copies of anything that is located outside of the iTunes Media folder which you will then need to tidy up) or use my script ConsolidateByMoving which does pretty much just what it says.
5. If you really can't gain access to the backup media that is supposed to be on the external drive then see this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.

HT1349 I have a large Windows iTunes library (18k+ songs, 650+ movies, 2.4K TV shows) and since upgrading to iTunes 11 files are disappearing from my library. Some music files re-appear in the cloud which means I have to re-download and re-convert to MP3.

iTunes 11 is rapidly becoming a disaster for me. I have a dedicated Windows 7 machine running iTunes to service 3 Apple TV's, 2iPhones, 2iPods, and an iPad. Itunes 11 is very sluggish with my large library and has now started 'losing' files to the cloud. This means that music I purchased in 2005 is being removed from my library and subsequently seems to become available as a ne cloud download. This may well be because I convert all ACC files to MP3 and delete the ACC (my ears are too old to care about the reduction in quality). Either way, it's detrsoying my playlists and means I have to re-download files.
Does anyone know how to stop this? I have no interest in the cloud (my library is too big and contains hundreds of ripped CD's and Vinyl records that can't be matched).
Thanks

Because back in the early days very few devices supported AAC so converting to MP3 allowed me to use iTunes and other devices (like a $1000 dollar MP3 player with a 3.5" hard disk drive that pre-dated iPods ) as well as my gen 1 and 2 iPods. I can't hear the difference (I'm old...) so the files being smaller is still an advantage (even though I have 64Gb iPods and iPhones these days. Anyway, the major issue is iTunes deleting the MP3's and messing up my playlists because the file it downloads just goes in the library - not the original playlists. The secondary issue is how do I know it's truly replacing all the files it deletes. It's just scary and I don't like it.
BTW, I'm not anti-cloud and in fact use iCloud extensively with my iPhones/Apple TV's for photo sharing/backups but iCloud is useless for media sharing. I have just over 2tb of media data shared on my iTunes server (and remotely accessible on my iPhone/iPad using WebDav to my home server).
...and none of my media is pirated. I have crates of vinyl, CD's,DVD's, and Blu-Rays along with thousands of iTunes store receipts!
