ITunes won't let me add new songs to established playlists - what's wrong?

I'm more than frustrated. Yesterday, everything worked fine! I created 3 playlists and did the drag/drop of songs into the playlists. Today, I bought more music. Those songs show up in my library. But ... when I try to drag/drop the new songs into the established playlists, the playlists don't update. No new songs.
iTunes 6.0.4.2
Windows XP Home
Thanks!
  Windows XP  

I'm really a novice at this ... I just found the added songs. I thought they would be put in alphabetically just like the first round. They weren't ... they were added on the bottom.
Sorry for my stupid question. ::sigh::

  • My recently new computer and iTunes won't let me add music to my iPhone. What do I do?

    I recently got a new computer. I downloaded iTunes and went to add new music to my iPhone4, but it wouldn't let me add it. When i tried to press "Manually manage music and videos" it told me that since i already synced my iphone to the old computer, i had to erase everything from my iPhone to be able to. I don't want to erase my phone. I'm pretty sure there is another way since people get a new computer everyday, but I don't know how. Help?

    Yes... that's the way it works.
    You can only sync an iDevice with one computer.
    Move or copy all the iTunes content from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.
    Then sync the iDevice with the new computer.  It will still wipe the device, but at this point it will not matter because all the content will be on the new computer to sync to the device.

  • I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!

    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?

  • Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC?  My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.

    Yes.
    You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

  • ICal-all events deleted and won't let me add new HELP!!

    Hi there,
    Recently I started my iCal and all my entries were gone. Not only that, but it won't let me add new entries no matter what I do. As well, my to do list on the right is blank and the space on the left where my calendars were listed before is also blank. If I go into my computer I can find the files from iCal with the information but they aren't showing up in iCal itself.
    HELP!!
    Thanks

    klgreene595,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    1. Can you associate this behavior with anything that you recently installed on your computer?
    2. Are you using MobileMe, or any other sync software?
    3. Do you have any backups such as Time Machine, or an iCal archive?
    4. What calendars do you have listed in your sources pane?
    5. Have you subscribed to any calendars?
    6. Do you have an iPad or iPhone?
    7. Where have you found the iCal files on your computer?
    8. Have you attempted to repair disk permissions?
    9. Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the "com.apple.iCal.plist" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, and drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

  • Windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone

    windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone..apple community doesn't list the iphone as a product registered under my apple id, but the phone is listed on my authorized devices.  any ideas? and do i need to get it to show as a registered product?

    I have the same problem. I can't sync any apps or music on my iphone. I can't sync any music purchased through itunes on my ipod. I haven't even tried connecting my ipad for fear that it'll mess that up as well. I try to authorize my macbook but I get an error. The weird thing is that I am able to still play all of my purchased music through itunes so it seems that the authorization is at least somehow partially recognized.

  • Out of no where, itunes won't let me add music to my ipod touch.

    I have itunes 10.4.1 and ipod is 4.2.1. Please help, this is so frustrating! It won't let me drag and drop and it won't work by right clicking either.

    I had a similar problem recently after an update. Midway through the update, I got a user error that said I had to wipe the device and restore to factory settings. After I did that, I restored from a recent back up. When I did that it would not allow me to add recently purchased music to playlists on the device. I could not figure out how to fix this anywhere. Finally, in iTunes  I clicked on my iTouch on the list on the right. Then in the big box on the left I clicked on summary. Then I scrolled to the bottom where "Options" was displayed. I clicked on "Manually manage music and videos" and then "apply". Suddenly, I could add music to my established playlists on my device! Hooray! Perhaps this happened to you and that box is unchecked? Good luck.

  • ITunes won't let me edit the song titles

    I click on a song title, and click the Get Info and it won't let me edit the song.
    The text is light gray instead of being black. When it's black I know I can edit it.
    I don't know how this happened... can someone please help me??

    Its one of two things,
    1) You don't have the rights to those files/location
    or
    2) The file is read only. Don't change just change the folder rights, go right to the files and uncheck readonly.
    Of course it could be something else I'm not aware of.

  • How do you add new songs to existing playlist on iphone 5?

    Before the update a few months ago I was able to add new songs to an existing playlist by hitting the Edit button.  Now I can only delete songs off of a playlist.  Has anyone figured out how to add new songs or do I just have to create a new playlist?  I really hope I don't because they will all be the same then.

    What could I do to be able to add more pages to a document?

  • Itunes won't let me add files from external hard drive

    I've been having this problem with my external hard drive and I don't know if it's my computer or iTunes, but I would appreciate any help.
    Recently, for some reason, all my songs went missing on iTunes and iTunes would freeze a lot. I reinstalled iTunes and now it's working fine. The problem is, I store my music on an external hard drive and I'm trying to add my files back by going to "Add Folder to Library", but it works every time I do it.
    At first, I thought it was freezing because my drive is so big, so I did it folder by folder (organized by artists) and it will work fine for small folders, but if it's a folder with like more than one album, iTunes will crash. At first, I thought something was wrong with one of the music files, but that's not it because it happens with any large folder.
    I used to use iTunes Updater, which would update all your songs for you, but now that program doesn't work with the latest version of iTunes. Thanks for any help.

    This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
    Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
    How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
    Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
    Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.

  • Itunes won't let me transfer new music to my iPhone 4S

    I recently had an issue with Filevault and unfortunately had to have my Macbook Pro wiped clean. I have yet to transfer all of my old files from my external hard drive back on to my computer, but since then have downloaded some new music. I have been trying to sync my iPhone 4S with my computer in order to transfer music on to my phone through iTunes for the past few days and it just won't let me. I have tried troubleshooting using a few websites, and have made sure that allowing iTunes to automatically sync when I plug in my iPhone through a USB port is checked. I really would like to put new music on my phone. Please help!

    Hi there elliephantttt!
    Sometimes the most reliable way to sync your phone with your computer will be through a manual sync. You can set up your computer to manage your phone this way by following the steps in this article:

  • My iTunes won't let me add or remove my music or playlists from my iPhone?

    I recently got an iPhone and have downloaded my music from one computer and stuff, but now I have a laptop I can use for my iTunes. I've authorized my apple ID with the computer, but it's still not letting me add or remove things to/from my iPhone. I've looked everywhere and tried everything for a solution but I just can't figure it out. I don't want to lose all the music and stuff that's already on my phone because it would be even more of a hassle to have to re-add all of that. I've tried using the original computer it was synced with instead but i don't have anything i want to transfer on that particular computer. Even so, the music and stuff will say it's transferring but never really does. Can anyone help me? It's rather annoying that no one on the internet seems to have any kind of helpful solution.

    Hi skipper8290,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you're syncing with a new computer and would benefit from moving your content from the previous computer to your current one.  This article has information on how to accomplish that:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Keep in mind since this is a new computer for the device, it will need to do a complete sync the first time, removing previously synced content.
    Cheers,

    What is the file suffix of the video files you are trying to add to iTunes? What application did you use to create them?
