No longer able to add songs from computer

On Friday I was able to successfully import songs from another location on my computer. Yesterday I went to import some more - after updating iTunes to the latest version. NO go - nothing happened. I've tried using the add folder option, the add file option and just dropping the file on my iTunes window. Nothing works. I completely uninstalled iTunes - to the point that I now have to rebuild all my playlists etc - and installed an older version. And still I am unable to add any songs. I had to burn them to a CD and then import that.
I am running Windows XP pro SP3 on a pentium 4 with 2GB of RAM and like I said...until I updated it was working fine.
Has anyone else had this problem? And if so have you found a resolution to it?
THANKS in advance for any help!

I just ran into this problem. Have you resolved it?
I noticed this week while running iTunes 9.2 on Windows 7 that I was missing a significant portion of my MP3 music from the library, music that I originally ripped and imported way back with iTunes 4.6. Somewhere my music got dumped from the iTunes library. Dragging the files/folders does nothing (iTunes does not add the music nor give any notification that it could not). Adding the music through menus has the same problem. The MP3 files play fine through Quicktime and Windows Media Player.
I found that if I removed ALL the ID3 tags with a 3rd-party application iTunes could then add the file.
How do I fix this?

Help! No longer able to add songs to Ipod.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum. I did not know where to turn for help. I have been trying to add new songs to my ipod for the last several weeks without success. I can add them to the library. I am able to drag them from the library to my ipod icon and the playlist I want to put them in. It shows up as updating. However, when I unplug the Ipod it is not there at all. I have tried this multiple times.
I saw a similar question on this forum, dated a little while back but no solution. Please help. My ipod was a gift loaded with thousands of songs that i do not have stored so i do not want to have to restore the ipod if avoidable.
Thanks.

I can think of a few reasons as to why this is happening.
If you have recently switched computers which you update your iPod with, it might just be that the new computer is not compatible with your iPod.
The most probable reason I could think of is that you are not pressing the eject button before you remove the iPod, thus the newly added data would be removed.
If you cannot find a solution to this and you are going to reset your iPod, then use the program YamiPod (http://www.yamipod.com) which takes all the songs off your iPod and puts them onto your computer; you can then add them back once you have reformatted,

New iPod touch, no longer able to add songs via iTunes

Have a new iPod touch, less than a week old. 3.1.2 OS and 9.0.2 iTunes on an iMac.
Was loading songs manually, walked away for a little while, left the iPod connected, now I cannot add songs.
I've restored the iPod, still unable to drop songs onto it from iTunes. I set it to sync checked songs, will not load that way either.
It will load apps, I reloaded the apps, but songs will not go on it. Drive isn't full, after the restore I loaded apps, about 4 gigs worth, and tried songs but nada, zip, zilch.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Oddness...
Tried adding songs numerous ways, nothing. Walk away for a bit, come back, now I can add songs.
iPod gremlins? Taking it back tomorrow to see if they have any ideas...

I am no longer able to purchase songs from iTunes.

When I click on the "buy" icon in iTunes, nothing happens. I don't get a warning, or anything. Just nothing happens. I can click on the arrow to the right of the "buy" icon and get the drop down menu that includes "gift this song, add to wish list" etc. I can click the arrow to the left of the song title and the sample plays without a problem.
I can download "free" items.
All of my existing music plays just fine and I can upload it to my ipod without a problem.
I have re-entered my valid cc info. Updated my iTunes software. I have reviewed everything in my account to ensure accuracy.
I am using an older Mac running OS X 10.5.8
My cc expires in less than a month so I am wondering if that may be the problem.
I was able to purchase so a few weeks ago, in November, when it was more than a month before my cc expires, but suddenly am not.

I suddenly have the same exact problem with both my Macs - MBP 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.7, as well as an old PPC. The button for 'buy" "or "download" or "rent" is no longer functional. I click on the button but nothing happens.
And we're not alone - there are a lot of similar complaints just recently in Apple discussions and other forums in the past few days. It doesn't seem to matter which OS or iTunes version is used, or even if it's a Mac or PC. Apparently its only affecting some. So far, there doesn't seem to be a fix.
Maybe if enough people complain, Apple will find a fix.
Edit: I just saw this temporary fix on another thread that worked for me:
"click on drop-down, add to wish list, and then answer yes to the prompt about "prices may change, do you want to download now" works."

I am no longer able to transfer songs from iTunes to iPhone 4

I have been unable to transfer music from iTunes to my iPhone 4 ever since I downloaded iOS 7.0.4. I have restarted everything, checked settings, clicked on all song and then none at all. I have backed up and synced at least 10 times. I have no idea how to fix this problem.

It would go through the motions of syncing and show steps 1-5, then it would end. When I would check my phone the songs weren't there.
I ended up going back to my Summary tab, scrolling down to Options and choosing "Sync only checked songs and videos". I clicked on Sync one more time and my songs showed up. I guess that was the problem.

I am not able to add songs from my Macbook Air to my iPhone 5s

Why won't it let me add any songs? It's not full.

On your iPhone, tap Settings > ITunes & App Store
Switch Music ON.
If that doesn't help, check restrictions. Settings > General > Restrictions

HT201269 i m not able to transfer songs from my itunes to my new iphone ???

i m not able to add songs from itunes to my new i phone its syncs with it but not adding them?????

Hello 521056,
Thank you for the question. If you are not able to manually sync music to your iPhone, I recommend checking if you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled in the Summary tab:
You can find all the steps to manually sync music in the following article:

When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

HT1688 all i want to do is add songs from my new computer to my iphone 4s. But that doesnot seem to be working.. Itunes wnats me to sync and lose all my music on my iphone. This is very frustrating i dont want to lose over 700 songs!!!!

Itunes is not letting me add songs from my new computer to my iphone.
Instead it wants me to sync my music library and lose all the songs on my phone. i have over 700 songs i cannot lose them just because i want to add 10 new songs... PLEASE HELP. also i am using the new CONFUSSING ITUNES 11.

This has always been the case.
All iphones have always only synced to one computer at a time.
Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

Drag the folder into the library in the open iTunes program window.

Can you help me add songs from iTunes 11.0.1 to iPhone4S?

I have a new MacBook Air and am trying to add songs from it (iTunes 11.0.1) to iPhone4S.
However, drag & drop does nothing, which is what I had done on my PC to add songs previously.
Note: I specifically don't want to sync my songs/libraries. I just want to add the new stuff I uploaed to MacBook Air iTunes to my iPhone4S.
Any thoughts/help would be GREATLY appreciated.

To be fair, not the news I was hoping to hear, but I'd prefer to hear the bad news sooner rather than after expending more time and energy on a fool's errand.
I uploaded the CDs on my MacBook Air as I'm moving everything there.
So, rather than put them on the old computer and then sync there, I'm guessing at some point I'm going to have to bite the bullet and move all my songs from PC to my Mac.
I imagine I'll have to back up on new computer and erase in the process of putting the old songs and the new on there, getting them off my new computer.
One would hope there'd be an easier and less laborious method, especially since in my established pattern of procrastination I can see me putting this off for a while.
Anyway, thanks again for the feedback.

How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes

How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

No longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbar, Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" started when I updated to Firefox 6.0

Since updating to Firefox 6.0 I am no longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbarl. I receive the following Java Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function." When I hit the OK button in the error message it opens up "Add a Bookmark" and when I attempt to add the bookmark there I get this error message: "A problem occured while trying to save the bookmark. Please try again later."
Is this a comparability issue that you are not aware of? Below are the versions of Firefox and Yahoo Toolbar that I currently have installed:
Firefox: 6.0.02
Yahoo Toolbar: 2.4.0.20110815110908
Windows XP, Service Pack 3
I am having this issue on my laptop and desktop. Since I use both computers the Yahoo toolbar has been great for having my bookmarks available on both computers at the same time but no I don't have that feature. I'm told that Google's toolbar also doesn't work either.
Do you guys do any testing or Quality Assurance testing before releasing these versions?

Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
* "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
* Do a Google Search no problem
* It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.
