HT201593 Itunes 12 does not have the "Manually manage music" option

I have itunes 12 and the "manually manage music and videos" is not there. "Manually manage videos" is the only option. I use itunes for work and I NEED a fix. I am unable to drag and drop as well.

Hello there, Jenks855.
When wanting to manually manage content on your iOS device, the Knowledge Base article you were referred from provides some great information and practical steps for troubleshooting:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
Manually add items to your device
Connect your device to your computer.
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Choose the content that you want to add to your device from your iTunes library.
Drag the content to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. A panel should appear. Locate your device.
What if I can't manually add content to or remove content from my device?
To manually manage your content, check to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is turned on. Then:
Connect your device to your computer.
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Locate and click on your device.
Click the Summary tab.
Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos."
Click Apply. If you see a message that your device is synced with another library:
iPhone can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
iPad and iPod can add music from multiple iTunes Libraries, but video from only one iTunes Library.
If you choose to manually manage your movies and music with the new iTunes Library, the iTunes content currently on your device will be erased and replaced.
You can’t manually manage music while using iTunes Match on your device.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I have an old version on my iPad 4.3.3 and can't figure out how to upgrade. Per the manual "Software Upgrades" is not an option from the General Settings.

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my iPhone? I've already checked the sync only checked songs and videos box, the manually manage music and videos box. I only want to sync the songs I checked, but it transfers all the music.

I dont want to transfer all the music just the checked ones. My macbook transfers all the music from my library to my iphone. I dont get it. Please if you could help that would be terrific.

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

How do I do this to use OVerdrive media on deviceThe Apple device must be formatted for use with Microsoft Windows. The iTunes setting 'Manually manage music-' must be enabled for the device before you can complete the transfer.

Manually Manage Music Option get error The iPod cannot be updated error(-50

I am following the instructions on how to move music to a new computer. When I get to the step "Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use" and try to apply the 'Manually manage music' option, I get the following error: 'The iPod (my iPod) cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50). I have tried moving my dock between the two USB ports on my Dell but nothing works..can someone help?

I tried some additional things and it seems to have fixed the problem.
First, I forced the iPod Service to close using the Windows task manager (control-alt-delete and then closing it). I then restored my iPod to its original factory settings using that option in iTunes.
I renamed the iPod and then set up what I wanted to sync with it. I have made a couple of changes and they have worked.

HT1535 Manually managing music on the iPhone

In the new verison of itunes I dont see a place to drag my music to my iphone

Click the 'manually manage music' check box that appears on the main sync page. That should do the trick.

HT1535 The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes. How do I actually manage music?

Edit: classic Apple.

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

Ios7 incorrectly syncs music when "Manually manage music and videos" checked

iPhone 5 with ios7.0.2
Mac 10.6.8 with iTunes 11.1.1
Since installing ios7 iTunes syncs music even though I always have the "Manually manage music and videos" checkbox checked. Since I don't want to keep the same music on my Mac that I have on my phone, this results in the music on the phone being deleted when I manually drag new music onto it in iTunes. This happened with the previous version of iTunes, before updating to 11.1.1, and still happens with 11.1.1.
Other iPhone settings:
Music: everything off / disabled
iTunes & App Store: everything off / disabled
iTunes settings:
Summary tab: only "Manually manage music and videos" checked
Music tab: nothing checked or selected
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Then you are the only person I know that can do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. It is restricted by design to one library.

Has there been a change to manually manage music and videos?

Does anyone know if there has been a change to iTunes with regard to how to manually manage media files?
I am almost positive that in order to manually manage music, books, videos, etc. you selected the Summary tab for your iDevice when you plugged it into iTunes and then you selected sync on the specific tabs for the media you wanted to have control over.
But recently when I did this for my iPhone 4S the check boxes for music, videos and books all became un-checked. So I would re-check music and have to reinstall all of my songs and playlists because this would cause iTunes to want to delete all the songs on my phone. I would then check the box on the books tab and go through the same process of reinstalling all my books. When I went back to the music tab the check box was unchecked again!
When I unchecked the check box on the summary tab to Manually Manage Music and Videos the tabs for music, videos, books, would all be grayed out and unusable.
I played with this for a number fo hours trying to figure out how to get this all to work the way it used to and discovered that by checking the box for Manage Music and Videos on the summary tab and leaving the other tabs un-checked I was able to manage my media files myself (Which was my goal to begin with).
Am I remembering this wrong? Or has the interface changed in iTunes for how to manually manage my media files?

No, iTunes has not changed the way it works.

This is correct (and the way it has always worked).
Because you are not Manually managing the items on the iDevice, you cannot select them on the iDevice.
Check the box to manually manage then drag from iTunes to the device.
Or you can uncheck manually manage, create a few playlists (then simply add/delete from these playlists to change iDevice content) and still drag items to the device. They will show up under the respective tab under Manually added items.

ITunes automatically unchecked "Manually manage music and videos"

Hey all, hope everything is well.
I have a frustrating problem that I don't know how to fix on my own.
So last night when I plugged my iPhone in to put some songs on, everything worked normally. I was able to edit the info and all that jazz, but today when I plugged my iPhone in...I noticed that I cannot add/delete/edit any of my music. I went into the Summary tab and seen that the "Manually manage music and videos" box is unchecked?! When I check it and apply, it says my iPhone is synced with another computer and all my data will be erased. I have spent 2 days doing album art and editing every single track info and the reason why it p*sses me off is because all of the edited songs on my iPhone are not edited in my iTunes library, so...if I do erase and sync, I would have to do everything over again for approx. 780 songs.
I guess it`s kind of my bad that I didn`t do all the editing/album art in the library THEN put the songs on my phone.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone maybe knows why iTunes decided to uncheck "Manually manage music and videos" for me.
Thanks and take care!

You should be able to extract any media not in your library with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings.
If your IPhone has previously been managed from this library then application settings and data should be alright. If you transfer any missing purchases into the library with iTunes, recover any other media using third party tools and then backup the device you should be able to immediately restore the device from the backup to make sure that the device and library are properly paired.

When I try to select 'Manually manage music and videos' option?

I know to manually manage songs/videos on itunes, i need to select the 'Manually manage music and videos' box under my iPhone 5S summary tab.
However, when I check that box and click apply, this message pops up: http://prntscr.com/248mwn (this is a screenshot of the box showing)
I do not know what that means..I just got this iPhone recently and I've only backed it up to the SHARON-PC that the message is mentioning (also the only computer i use)
Can someone explain what would happen if I chose the erase and sync option, or is there a way around this?
I just want to get my music on my iPhone . Thanks for help.

Still need help....

Updating Playcounts Etc. While Manually Managing Music?

Hi All,
I have a iMac G5, and want to manually manage my music on my iPod, but also want to have all the statistical data to and from it be updated. Is there a way to get around that in iTunes, possibly by changing the "Manually Manage Music" periodically,('tho I know in the past, this action sometimes wiped the iPod clean)? If not, any third party software that will do that? I have PowerTunes, will that help? (Posted this topic elsewhere, and will remove when answered).
Thanks in advance.

I just discovered how to do this
I have to click into the iPod and then the Podcasts tab and then sync from there... woop-dee-doo!

Manually managing music - Itunes 11.0.1 with iphone 5.

I have no option to Manually Manage Music.
Under the summary tab it only says "manually manage videos".
Any help would be much appreciated

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Something I dont understand...(manually manage music/videos)

It seems that I accidentally made a mistake at some point and wasnt aware they were all connected in this regards.
I manually manage all my Music (songs), Movies & TV Shows on the iPad.
So i select and drag the content I want. (im still not keen on "syncing music & videos).
At any rate I was purchasing a few books off iBooks and i wanted to sync them back to the Mac I port my iPod with.
I realized "Books" werent synced to my Mac or to the iPad so I selected sync Books and applied.
During that process it removed all my manually added music & videos.
Then disabled the Manually Manage music & videos check box in my iPad preferences.
Well it doesnt say anything about books...is there any way to change this as I dont have a lot of books and would like them to be synced back and forth between iPad and my Mac.
But want to retain my personal music and video collection .....
thank you.

In the early days I used the same technique you did but soon found it did not suit my usage patterns so I opted to 'manually' manage my music through playlists and by individually checking the videos I wish to have loaded so I leave the box 'Manually manage...' unchecked.
I create playlists and sync only those playlists I wish to be on a given device. For example, my 32GB 3GS iPhone, my 32GB iPhone 4, and my iPad contain the same music and the major playlist is named 32GB. For my iPad I currently use the 32GB playlist because I only have 20GB of music.
I also have a similar playlist for my old 16GB 3G--yes, that playlist is named 16GB. I also have individual playlists both plain and smart set up for each device and I select them, too, but all songs that are on a given device are in the 16GB or 32GB playlists. Since the song only has to be on the device one time placing it in multiple playlists on the device does not place additional copies of the song on the device.
To sync by playlist you connect your iPad, select it in the devices area to the left, click on the Music tab and check on Sync Music. In the box below the Sync Music you select 'Selected playlists, artists, and genres'. I only use playlists, but the others work as well.
For Movies you select the Movies tab. Select 'Sync Movies'. You can chose the 'Automatic' mode but for me none of the options work so I leave the automatic box unchecked and then individually check the movies I wish to go to my iPad.
It is simple this way and I found it to be much more efficient than manually managing music videos via the checkbox.
Books can be handled in the same manner via the Books tab.
