I can only add 5 songs at a time on itunes!

Every time i need to put a lot of songs in itunes, i highlight the whole folder that i need to add to my library, it doesnt go into itunes, so i tried highlighting only 10 songs, then 7, then 5 and all five go in! it only lets me put in around 5 songs at a time! I have to then go back and put 5 more in and it ****** me off! How do i put more then 5 songs in at the same time, especially since i started from scratch and need to put all 2,300 songs that i have?

Make a folder. Put the files you want to add to iTunes into the folder. In iTunes use the add folder option under the file menu. Select the folder you created.

I have multiple itunes accounts and had to do a restore. I can only see songs from one of the itunes accounts on my new iphone.

My old iphone died on me so I had to purchase a new one. A guy at the Apple store helped me with a restore via iCloud. I have two itunes accounts, one for US and another for oversea itunes. I only see songs I purchased in US itunes on my new iphone, which is my iCloud account ID as well. How do I have the songs I purchased in another foreign itunes to also appear on my new phone?

Are those songs in the iTunes library on the computer the device is normally synced with? If so, sync them to the device.

I can only add songs to itunes library, not directly to my ipod.

When I try & add a song to my ipod, nothing happens. I've tried drag & drop, add file...
& in Summary, I have checked Manually manage music & all the other boxes.
Why can't I add songs to my ipod directly?

Okay, never mind. I unchecked the 2nd box. :/ Doh...

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I have iTunes 11.0.1.12 installed. iTunes is not letting me drag and drop folders or files to the library. iTunes also will not add songs by using the Add folder to library option. I can only add songs individually.

Any help would be appreciated. Nothing obvous seems to work. Very frustrating.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

TS1717 I can only preview songs 10 seconds in the itunes store

Here we go again. Another annoying iTunes problem that pops up unexpectedly and probably can't be fixed until the next upgrade...
Song previews in the iTunes store stop after 5-10 seconds. I know this is a discussed problem but I can't find that thread. Note: The same songs, when purchased and downloaded plays OK from the library. The problem is with all previews. Instead of 1 minute or 90 seconds, I get only 5-10 seconds.
None of the suggested solutions work:
1) using the command prompt to flush the dsn cache,
2) just try to play the preview several times,
3) start and run itunes in safe mode.
The problem began a few weeks ago and it persists in one account on one computer. (Win 7 Pro). It works properly in the same account on my other computer (Win XP Pro). I'm running the latest Version of iTunes - I checked for updates. (10.X.X).
Please don't suggest I uninstall and reinstall everything. Anybody can suggest that (and Apple usually does). That is not really a solution, but it's what I have had to do every time I have run into a problem with iTunes.
Thanks, hope you can help

Can't add songs to my iPod in iTunes 11

I cannot add individual songs to my iPod in the new iTunes. I tried all of the methods described in the Apple tutorial - none of them actually work. All I can do is auto-fill, which I have absolutely no desire to do. Is anyone else having this problem? Anybody out there find a solution yet?

Assuming you do not already have the left hand sidebar showing, click on View, Show sidebar. Then you will see all your devices libray and playlists. Then you can just drag the song title onto your iPod. Just retried to confirm it works with my iPhone and it does. Then click on your device and sync.
An grey button apears to the right of the song title when you hover over it. Click it and the Add To option appears about 2/3 the way down. Click on that and you can add to a playlist

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

Can't add songs, only albums...?

A quest to get more money from me? I can only add albums to my cart (no, I didn't upgrade iTunes to 9.x, still got a cart). Any work-arounds?

Error code in red is: "Could not add an item to your cart. An unknown error occurred (5002)." iTunes version 8.2. This only happens with songs, I can add albums fine. I can also one-click to purchase, which I discovered accidentally. I tried trashing iTunes.plist to no avail; upon signing in to my account had the same prob. Thinking about creating a new account and trying that.
Any 8.2 users out there? Having this issue?

Can only add music with Autofill from Library (not working with playlists)

I can only add music using the Autofill feature and it will only work when the main music library is selected. Autofill does not work when a playlist is selected and I can not add music directly by dragging songs from a library or playlist as described in the owner's manual.
Is there something wrong with iTunes, the iPod or is this user error?

Hi Steve,
You're right it's the same for me.
I don't know as you mentionned whether it is an user error or not but I've got 2 iPods now, one is 60 Go color display (60Go) and the other received yesterday is 2G iPod Shuffle (Clipod). I can't drag songs from 60Go nor to iTunes Library neither to Clipod Music. The autofill function works only from iTunes Library where I've got 5 songs only (new MacPro), somebody knows how to export 60Go music to iTunes Library ?
Thanks,
Peloche

I just moved my Itunes content to a computer with Win 7. I can only get "songs" in list view. How do I correct this so I can see Artist and Genre also in list view. The box to show all list in list view is checked but it only shows album view

I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I did it again. Now it will not run and I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I can't figure out what is running.

Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run. I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I have uninstalled multiple times and can't figure out what is running. The is only one Firefox installed and it is not open. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.

After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. I cannot transfer songs I burned from CD. When I drag them to my phone in iTunes, my phone appears to be updating, but the songs don't show up there.
I'm using IOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. WIndows 7.
Thanks.

This has worked for many folks according to the feedback I have gotten:
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

HT204406 I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer.

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

I've purchased cartoon tv shows for my iPad. Prior to the new updates, I could play one at a time or continous. Now I can only play one at a time. It's annoying to keep changing it every five or six minutes. Is there a fix to get it back playing continous
