Need help manually adding music, side bar isn't working!!

Can someone help me?! I tried using the side bar to manually add music but when I went to drag and drop it isn't letting me. I even went through the tutorial and looked for "On this Ipod" > "Add to".. But there was NO "Add to". Someone help please!

holy crap, after 2 hours of trying to figure out why it wasn't working I had to have the "manually add songs" in ipod summary checked EVEN THOUGH music sync was unchecked. What kind of reasoning is this... -____-

  • I need help manually managing music- I only want select artists and albums in bulk

    Hi All,
    I am currently trying to sync music with a new Ipod (120GB) and am having diffuculty.
    What I have done: I have checked the 'Manually manage music' box and am able to select music I want to sync with the Ipod no the 'Music' Page of the Ipod.
    What I am trying to do: I have over 400GB of music, so I only want to select certain artists and albums. In this case I am trying to select batches of music to take across to another PC in  alphabetical order. In other words, I want to select all Artists and Albums starting with the letters A, B and C.
    What I want to know how to avoid: I am currently being forced to click on every single artist and album starting with A, B and C individually which as you can imagine is taking hours!!! I want to be able to select all artists or albums starting at one point and ending at another point, without having to click individually on each and every line item.
    Please help! This is going to take me forever!

    Enable the sidebar with CTRL+S if not there
    Create a playlist with CTRL+N
    Go to the Songs view.
    Click the heading of the Album column until it reads Album
    Select the first track of the first album
    Scroll down the list until you see the last track of the last album beginning with C
    Hold down shift and click that last track
    Drag the selection to the playlist name and let go
    Click the heading of the Album column until it reads Album by Artist
    Select the first track of the first album
    Scroll down the list until you see the last track of the last album beginning with C
    Hold down shift and click that last track
    Drag the selection to the playlist name and let go, don't copy duplicates
    Drag this playlist to the device, or better yet go to automatic syncing and sync the playlist. You can then edit for the next update when the device isn't connected. You can also create additional playlists for stuff you "must have" on the iPod, new stuff etc. Automatic syncing is easier, more powerful, and more selective than manual management.

  • Manually manage music and videos isn't working after iTunes update and iPhone 4 IOS5 update.

    Just update my iPhone 4 to IOS5 and updated to the latest verison of iTunes also and now I can't manually put songs from my music folder into my iPhone's music section now. Normally I would just drag songs into my iPhone's music section but now it won't let me. I have Manually manage music and videos checked also. I'm also running Windows 7. Any help would be great.

    I am having the exact same problem.  Also with transfering PDF files.  It's frustrating.  ANY help would be appreciated.  I also run W7.  I have an iPod Touch 4.

  • Need help finding Elements 8 Download (disc isn't working)

    I have my disc and box with serial number on it. I called adobe and they told me to get a replacement disc from best buy since the disc isn't being read by my computer. There's no scratches on it at all. I literally downloaded it once, just a few months over a year ago and got a virus, where a friend wiped the hard drive. Now I'm trying to reinstall and it doesn't seem to want to read the disc. I don't know what to do. Best Buy says they can't because elements 9 is out now..so i'm supposed to just go buy that now? Please help!!
    I do have my serial number so i don't need that. i just need the program! Thanks

    Let's try this again going a slightly different route and with images. It sounds like you go lost along the way.
    Judging from your last post your computer is Windows. I wasn't sure whether you were on Windows or a Mac.
    1. First insert your disc into the DVD drive of your computer. Don't worry about the installation dialog coming up at this point.
    2. Look on your desktop for the icon that is a computer and says "Computer" if on Vista or Windows7. If on XP, the icon will say "My Computer".
    3. Click the "Computer" icon by pressing the button on the right hand side of your mouse. This will bring up the following menu:
    4. You can either click open or explore from the context menu.
    After you click either open or explore,  you should see your drives including any media discs loaded in the drives.
    5. Right click the drive showing PSE 8 loaded. After you right click (click drive with your mouse's right hand side button) you will get a context menu like I have in my screen capture below. Select either Open or Explore from the menu.
    Above I have PSE 2 loaded in my DVD/CD-RW Drive (E). It also shows the context menu that comes up when the drive loaded with PSE is clicked with my right hand mouse button.
    Above shows the folder view of the contents that reside on my PSE 2 Disc. You should see something similar when you view your PSE 8 disc in folder view.
    Having went through the above steps, is the folder view of your DVD blank or do you have files and folders?

  • I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.

    I need help syncing my music onto my ipod.  Anyone there to help?

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.

    I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.

    The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone  2.  Reset your settings/iphone  3.  Restore your iphone.  Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring.  If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine.  A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.

    It won't work or just won't install?
    Which OS, browser(s), and anti-virus software are you using?
    If you're using the free Avira AntiVir(us) Personal software, then deactive the Webguard feature first before installing the Flash Player.

  • Help manually adding songs

    I am on IPhone 5 iOS 7.02
    since updating to iOS7 and ITunes 11.1.1.11, I cannot seem to get songs that I have manually added (via converting audio to mp3) into my iPhone.  I can add it into my Itunes library and it plays fine, but no matter what I do, I cannot get it into my phone.  I have tried manually managing music, checking and rechecking the songs, with sync in between, syncing the entire library, syncing only checked songs (with that particular song checked) and it still shows as a dotted circle "on this phone"  Is this an issue with the update?  When I try to drag and drop, I pull the song to the right, and my iphone pops up, and even flashes when I drop the song, but it never goes into my music on my phone.  Is there a setting that I need to change? HELP!!

    I'm having the same issue!
    Even if I do manage to successfully add the songs to my iphone some of them disappear off my iphone once I disconnect the phone from the computer

  • Why is iTunes not showing manually added music

    Upgraded to the 4S from the 4, restored the 4S from the backup of my 4 including all the music etc.
    The sync option is ticked so I get all my play counts etc but here is the annoying part! The "Manually added songs" part at the bottom of the music tab is blank, even though there are over 500 songs on my iPhone. I wan't to remove some of them but can't unless I manually manage the songs. When I remove them and then tick the sync button again, the songs come back again!
    Help please?

    I've always assumed those silly strings were recording the results of the gapless playback analysis but whatever they're for it would be better if they were stored in a spare field.
    Windows Media Player/Windows Explorer may be less fussy on embedded artwork formats than iTunes or the media file might actually be missing the art but the Windows Explorer cache (Thumbs.db) still shows it. You say removing-reimporting doesn't help but I assume you can still paste new artwork in and have it remembered. If so you might want to use the following tool to at least take some of the effort out of searching out which tracks you need to repair.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.

  • I need help putting Classical Music CDs into iTunes

    I need help - this question has lots of subquestions, sorry.
    I have found just a few discussions that deal with this but I am still confused. Forgive me if I get wordy and misuse technical terms - I am trying to learn this thing...
    I'm an iPod newbie and haven't a clue on the best way to organize my many, many classical CDs that I'd like to put onto my iPod Classic 160G. I'd also like to do this with as little fussing around as possible since there are lots of CDs I've got to deal with.
    If each CD is a separate entry [album?] in the playlist and titled with composer name first [ex Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, Titov conductor] I'll have several playlist entries with the same titles, but different contents. No problem really.
    But, should I separate it further, by having each concerto [say] be a separate entry in the playlist - without having to download the CD again. [I've just practiced on a few CDs but I imagine it being a problem if I had to download each CD several times - once for each work] Does it make sense to leave gaps between movements? [I'm not finding a way to remove gaps, though I have seen that suggested somewhere]
    And when I come to play the pieces, if I start playing a work in a playlist, will the iPod keep going from one movement to the next as it makes its way through the playlist - or will it stop at each movement and wait for me to tell it what to do next?
    Advanced Settings - are these the best? I'll be listening to music on an airplane using noise cancelling headphones and at destination attaching iPod to portable speakers to listen to music in hotel rooms.
    General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized - unchecked? [not sure what this means or does or doesn't do]
    Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library - checked?
    Importing: AAC encoder? High quality -128 kbps?
    Thanks for all your help - I know this is a multiple set of questions and perhaps should have been broken up...

    Thank you so much for your help. You have sorted out a lot of problems for me. I've tried to go through what you wrote, add some more info and I have asked a few more questions below-
    I re-ripped at 256. I too have the 160GB classic so it's good to know that it will take 10,000 tracks as lossless - now I have to re-rip again! I actually hadn't anticipated using the iPod with anything other than our high quality noise canceling airplane headphones, our cheap, portable travel speakers for hotel rooms and our Cambridge sound speakers for our cabin. It's that last set of speakers that makes me think I should follow you advice and go with lossless.
    QUESTION #1 - When I re-rip and do an automatic sync, will the tracks at 256 automatically be replaced by the bigger lossless ones with the same name or should I delete everything from the iPod and begin anew?
    "I create a playlist for each work, using a systematic naming convention..." What I did on my test was create a playlist for each composer breaking it down - ex- Bach:concertos, Bach:sonatas, etc. I have the Album column highlighted and it appears as if the movements stay together in the correct order. I fear that the task might be too large to create a playlist for each work, though that certainly is appealing.
    QUESTION #2 If the Album column is highlighted and the movements are in the correct order in iTunes in the playlist, will they stay that way in the iPod?
    "I tend to use just surnames for composers for example, or at least "surname, firstname"." I finally found in settings on the iPod the way to change sort by composer to last name, first name. In iTunes, the composer column which is imported from the internet search for info on the CDs gives composer with first name first and I can't find a place in iTunes to reverse this. Typing it or erasing the first name will be a huge chore.
    QUESTION #3 Is there a place in iTunes to change the order of the composers' name in the composer column?
    "For compilations etc I still create one for the whole CD or box set"
    I figured this out on my own before you corroborated my idea - I think I'm getting the hang of this...
    "The option iTunes has to "organise your music" is a good one"
    QUESTION #4 - are you referring to the preferences > advanced check box "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" ? If not, what are you referring to?
    "I have my library in its own dedicated disk. Wherever you put it, its important to then never change it or doing anything else with it: leave it for iTunes."
    QUESTION #5 "dedicated disk"? as in hard drive? I have been using SuperDuper to back up my Mac to an external HD; I plan to put a copy of the iTunes folder onto yet another HD where I keep copies of all our photos as well.
    "never change it"? I noticed a misspelling "Haendel" from the on-line CD/track info - no problem in fixing that - right? Since you later say you do change info, what is it you are never changing?
    QUESTION #6 - "Disk N of M capability" - what? Where do I find this option? And when you say "for multiple CD albums, don't include the cd number in the album name." Where? when you put the CD into a playlist entry? or just in the list of music in the album column - do you change the listing?
    ONE FINAL QUESTION - when I turn on the iPod when it's not attached to headphones or speakers, and I'm just looking at the screen to see settings or how the syncing worked, the iPod appears to begin playing something as soon as I turn it on. THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION, but I can't find the answer, how to I get it to stop playing without turning the iPod itself off???
    "I hope that helps a little. " A little?? It helps a lot - and I'll award those points as soon as I get it all resolved.
    Thanks again,
    Mrs H

  • Need help with "Shield" on side scrolling shooter game

    I am horribly new to Flash, and I need lots of help with a lot of things, most notably a shield I'm trying to give the player in a side scrolling shooter game. I need help with:
    1. Making the ship change color when it's activated.
    2. Making it so enemies die on contact with the ship.
    3. Making the "shield" variable go down constantly while in use.
    If anyone could help, I would appreciate it a lot.

    I wouldn't want any of you to write this program for me because I want to learn it myself. Yes I'm a student and I have to write some game with my groupe for a telephone in java like language doja. We decided to let it be a chess game. However I'm looking for an already written game in java that preferebly has some comments above the program lines so I can see what they've done. Offcourse if nobody has anything like this, yes I'm looking for a way to make an algorithm that makes the cpu move each time the player makes it's move. I have no idea on how to do this. I was hoping it can be solved with for, while, if and genest for statements. Yes it wil be a game with graphics but I think we can manage that part ourselves. So main question is the algorithm for the cpu moves. Do I have to pre-program every game in the book or is there another way etc..
    I hope there's anybody that can and is willing to get me on my way since I know it maybee isn't the most simple question.

  • HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

    I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email.  I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music.  I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes.  itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think.  Can someone help with this?

    razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer.  I've used it for other things and it works.
