Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click "On this Device".
Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
While viewing the media in your iTunes Library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will show up on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.

App asserts I must have iTunes ver. 9.1 or later.
Where are you seeing this?
The app is not telling you that you need 9.1 on your iPad.
It does not use iTunes on the iPad for anything.
I'm trying to figure the version on my iPad.
It is the version that comes with your specific iOS firmware version.
But again, it is irrelevant to the app.
If you just got the iPad, it (the iPad) requires iTunes 10.4 on your computer.

How do I add and remove mp3s from my iPhone?

I've forgotten again how to add and remove mp3s from my iPhone. Can someone please remind me? I am an iTunes subscriber using a PC running Windows 7 and iTunes 11.1.

Make sure you have iTunes 11.1.1 installed on your computer.
Plug your iPhone into your computer.
Open iTunes. Create a new Playlist and name it whatever you want. I use iPhone Sync.
Go to your Music Library, click and drag the music you want into your new Playlist.
Click on your iPhone along the top right. Click on Music and select Sync Music and choose just the new Playlist.
Click on the Sync button on the bottom right of the iTunes screen.

Is anyone else experiencing trouble with removing songs off your iPhone via iTunes?

iTunes 11 is so difficult to work! I can't even access the option to remove songs off my iPhone whilst it's connected to iTunes. Not sure if there's a super complicated way to do it but it's so unconvenient which I really hate. Any solutions? Seeing as I can't contact Apple through email I'm asking the community as they seem to know more about iTunes than the actual company does.
Thanks in advance, guys..

Hello Kizzrawr,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having issues syncing your iPhone 5 with iTunes 11, specifically trying to remove songs. I can definitely help, however the answer is going to be based on how you have configured you iPhone to sync.
First, you may want to enable the sidebar to bring back the familiarity of past iTunes versions:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. If sync music is checked, which option do we have selected? "Entire Library" or "Selected playlists, artists…" - the latter of which may be best for your needs.
Otherwise, you can always manually manage the music on your iPhone. The following resource may provide more information on how to do so:

Can you add the entire content of your desktop to the allowable locations in flash player?

can you add the entire content of desktop to the allowable locations in flash player? when i click 'add' to allowable locations and type in file:///C:/Documents and Settings under website (i know it's not the website but where else would it be added) it doesn't show up in the overall list of allowable 'sites'.

Hi radwh,
Are you talking about trying to add your desktop to Flash Player's trusted locations? If so, you use the "Advanced" tab on the Local Settings Manager to designate folders and files as trusted. (Full path is Advanced->Developer Tools->Trusted Location Settings.) Here's a link to the documentation for that: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l .
Hope this helps, and get back to me with further details if this is not what you were asking.
Thanks,

How do you add previous mac events on your iPhone back onto your mac?

I added all my videos and photos to my iphone from my mac awhile ago as i needed to reset my mac and i wasn't confident using any other method. I reset my mac etc and everything is perfect. but now i want to put my photos and videos back onto iphoto from my iphone but when i plug my phone in to the mac it doesn't recognize any of the older events and only lets me import photos from my camera roll. i can view all my mac events/photos/videos/faces on my iphone so i know they are there. i just want them back in iphoto on the mac so i can free up space on my iphone any help would be awesome thank you.

You can use iPhoto lo import photos and video to your iPhone to your Mac.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If you have problems importing to iPhone, try using Image Capture mentioned in the link above. Image Capture is located in your Applications folder.

How does one remove content from iPod/iPhone using iTunes 11

Well, I can more or less get content on my mobile devices with iTunes 11 (managed manually, as I've always done). How do I get it off? I have a series of files formatted as audiobooks (continuing education). I put them on my iPhone (for in the office) and iPod (in the car to work). Now I'm done - and can't get them off. Going on the Music app doesn't allow me to remove an audiobook, and that's never been an option on the iPod. When I try to do it through iTunes, I get the following:
Pod: I can at least FIND the files on "On This iPod", but cannot find any option to delete (and I tried both del and command-del). I ended up having to set it up to sync, which I dont like as I typically (for space issues) keep my audiobook library on an external disk - anything I put on the Pod has to stay on the hard drive till I finish listening to it.
Phone: I can't view the content on the phone other than apps. Via iTunes, I can't even see what's there, much less do anything with it.
Am I missing something? There seems to be no option to manually manage media anymore - I can't do it without syncing, and that requires me to leave everything on my hard drive indefinitely.
If anyone's found a solution I missed (other than the process to revert back to 10.7, that is), I;d appreciate a point in the right direction. Mahalo!

When you click on your device you are presented with the pages
Summary
Info
Apps
Tones
Music
Movies
TV shows
Books
Photos
To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect. Deselect the required Audiobooks and Click Sync

My iTunes library music has been completely deleted and I can no longer add or remove music on my Iphone 4 from iTunes

So today when I plugged in my iphone 4 to my laptop I discovered that all my music had been deleted from my library. So then when I would download my music again and try adding music to my phone it wouldn't do it. I would drag a song over to the "on this phone" and onto "my iphone" where Im suppose to add music but it would not light up indicating that the song couldn't be added. So what I try to do next is sync what music I downloaded again into my library onto my phone and it seemed to have worked like that.
After that I tried deleting some music off of my phone and THAT wouldn't work either. I right clicked a song and discovered that there was no "delete" option. I tried it with all the other songs and it was all the same.
Sorry if this all seems confusing and long but please help. I'm also new to this apple discussion website so sorry if I post this in the wrong category lol

How do I add and remove songs from my iPhone through iTunes.

I'm sure it seems pathetically simple if you know how to do it, but I've just spent too much time trying to figure out how to remove songs from my music player on my iPhone.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

How do you add a Digital Booklet to your iPhone, from your laptop?

I am trying to get one of my digital booklet's from my laptop, to my iPhone, and am having severe difficulties(I am not technologiclly savvy) Would like step by step, instructions if possible, to get it from my laptop, to my iPhone, if anyone has any information, or simple instructions please let me know.

What format is the digital booklet in?
Have you tried dropping the digital booklet on iTunes in your computer
and then using iTunes to sync to the iPhone?

HT1766 The article refers to "...back up and restore the most important content on your iPhone..."

The article is not clear on what does not get backed up.
There are several Apps that store data and do not provide "export" capabilities.
I have used iTunes and it does not. The "cloud" is more a hindrance than anything else and do not plan to use it.
The only option I can see (within my limited knowledge of iOS) is to obtain "root" admin privileges like in Linux and have full control of the process.
I understand that the only way for me to have such authority is to "jailbreak" my iPhone which in turn would prevent me from getting Apple support.
Not a good position to be forced into, "between a rock and a hard place" :-/

App data is backed up via both methods of backing up. You do not need "root" access at all.
Read: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 for what is backed up.

How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
Thanks.

File>Transfer Purchases
You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device

if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

Order your iPhone 3Gs - Server Error FIX!

If you are trying to order a iPhone 3Gs (or 3G) and are getting an error:
"We experienced an error in processing your request. Please try again later."
it is probably due to a shared texting feature on your AT&T plan. Go to wireless.att.com, remove it, order your iPhone, select no texting, and then replace the texting plan from AT&T's website.
I just did it and was able to order a 32GB White iPhone. Before, I tried 20 times with no luck.
Thanks to GeorgeS77 earlier post for the info:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2031027&tstart=2

I got this error, and then tried my preorder through the AT&T website:
http://www.wireless.att.com/iphone/
This worked for me and I didn't have to drop my shared text plan and add it back. For whatever reason the AT&T site handles the issue while the Apple one does not.
From what I could tell there is no difference between preordering here vs on the Apple site: both show delivery for June 19.
