Itunes shows sings but won't let me amend playlists

I have a relic... an ipod mini. She's still rolling but lately when I try to add/edit/delete, itunes doesn't let me. I have the latest itunes, so i don't understand why why I can't manage my library and playlists as before.  Suggestions?

I shut down my computer for a few hours (after already trying uninstalling iTunes and restarting my computer several times with no results) and then plugged in my phone and it miraculously works. Glad iTunes is working like it should but it's so frustrating when there's not a clear solution.

  • All pics loaded onto iphoto or preview show up but won't let me edit. Thanks, Woody

    Hey everyone,
    Pics loaded into iphoto or preview show up in the programs and my desktp, but won't let me edit.
    Thanks, Woody

    How are you trying to edit?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.
    If y oare having problem with iTunes not related to syncing try posting in the iTunes for Mac forum
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_mac
    Otherwise try restoring the iPod from backup

  • Can't access YouTube from my update lists.It shows updated but won't let me open app

    HHi,I can't access YouTube or Google+ from my updated apps.
    it shows that they are updated,but I am unable to open the app.Also,they have disappeared from my home screen

    Usually I could just swipe my finger across the screen and the "delete" option would pop up...instead it starts the show/movie and then gives me the error message.  I have tried restarting, I have even tried syncing to my computer.  Even though I don't have the computer set to sync any tv shows or movies, those items are still there.  I'm noticing the same thing with Podcasts in the separate podcast app and in my itunes app under podcasts.  There are several there that I have deleted from my itunes and they still show up on the iphone.

  • What if a person no longer has access to the house in which the card itself, but iTunes recognizes my login, shows my balance, won't let me get past the "code" page?

    What if a person no longer has access to the card itself, but iTunes recognizes my login, shows my balance, won't let me get past the "code" page?

    What pops up is the page that tells me I can use my camera to take a photo - since I don't have access to the card, useless.  I am caught going round in this loop - there's that one button, no other option.  Thanks in advance. 

  • My new iPhone 5 will connect to iTunes, but won't let me put music or pictures onto it...

    My new iPhone 5 shows up in iTunes, but won't let me put pictures or music onto my phone. They are both under the same iTunes account and it let me transfer stuff onto my old iPhone 4 before. I don't know why it won't let me now. Both are updated also... Please help!!

    Thank you so much! I can't believe I didn't think to check that. I synced it to iTunes, but I didn't think to see if those were checked or not and they weren't. I checked them, and resynced and its working perfectly. Thanks so much!!!

    Says to update to ios7 need 2.9gb I show having 3.1 avail but won't let me update

    Try upgrading through iTunes. The difference between 3.1 and 2.9 isn't much. You may need to free up some room. Try the iTunes approach and maybe that will work.

  • I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

    I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!
