No longer able to delete/add songs/playlists onto ipod touch from itunes...

Yesterday, I decided to plug my mom's ipod into my macbook to transfer some songs onto the ipod for her. After transferring songs onto her ipod, using my macbook and itunes, I plugged my ipod back in to sync and delete songs. However, that option is no longer working. My ipod syncs, but I'm not able to delete/add songs, playlists, etc... I tried deauthorizing the laptop and reauthorizing it through itunes, restarting my ipod and laptop, and reinstalling itunes. But, nothing seems to work. Help please!

Where can I download the latest version of iTunes 6?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
As noted by some others, a working flow appears to be:
1) remove 7 using the control panel add/remove programs [some also report removing the new version of quicktime that came with 7 -- I did].
2) find the file 'iTunes Library {dateyou_loaded7}.itl' [usually in 'My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraryes'], copy it up one directory level, and re-name it 'iTunes Library.itl'.
3) download and install the above version 605.
I had already installed the gen5 firmware upgrade that came with 7, and it seems to work fine with version 6, with no need to 'downgrade' the firmware.
Your mileage may vary.

How to add music to my iPod Touch from iTunes 11?????

I can't seem to drag and drop music files from my iTunes to my ipod touch generation 5 by using the drag and drop method.
How can I add songs,If I can't use the drag and drop method?
Nothing seems to work.
How should I fix this problem?????!
I am going to travel soon,I need to add new songs before my departure.
Please help me ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.

Step 1: Click on the Ipod button in the top right corner. (Make sure Ipod/AnyAppleDevice is connected)
Step 2: In the top right corner again there should be a blue button that says "Done" and then right underneath that there should be something that says "Add to..." click on that.
Step 3: After you click on that it should look something like this (picture below). So from here is where you can add music to your ipod/itouch/ipad/AnyAppleDevice. Also in the top left corner where it says "Music", you can click on that and change the types of media (Music/Movies/TV Shows/Podcasts/Apps) to add to your device.
I hope I answered your question with this.

Why can't I add songs to my iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen?

I had an issue with songs being present on my iPod, yet the artists would not appear under "Artists". So I turned off "Group by Album Artist" in Settings and the problem was solved. However, and I don't know of that's the cause of the issue, I can no longer add song to my iPod. I add them manually, and when I do, I see them in gray under "Music" on iTunes with the sync logo next to then as if they're still being updated to the iPod. Yet they never do.

What happens when you try to sync tracks to it via iTunes? Any error messages? Does the iPod still appear under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes when you connect it via USB?
How is your iPod configured to sync with your library? In other words, what options and settings do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?

How do you get songs on an Ipod touch from your previous one?

My Ipod touch recently had a glitch that completely messed it up. As a result, I went to get another one. Typically, when we sync our ipods to the computer, everything that you've changed on the ipod is saved onto the computer as well. However, I had purchased about 15-20 songs on my Ipod touch and added about 6 or 7 new apps before it started to mess up on me, but I never had the chance to sync it in to the computer. So I'm wondering if there is a way for me to reclaim the songs that I've purchased because--well, because I've purchased them and I really do not want to pay for them again. If anyone has a legit answer, I'd really appreciate it if you posted a response!
Thank you! =]

Here's a short and simple on the legit way since I actually had this happen to me as well.
Open iTunes, and go to the store. At the top right corner should be your iTunes login name (or "Log In"). Either way, click it and it will ask you to log in.
Once you log in (or re login), you should be brought to your account. Somewhere in the middle is an option to view purchase history. Click that.
Once it's open, it should pull up all your purchases (grouped somehow...I think by day?). Find the purchases you're looking for. And click the arrow to pull up the order (for multiple orders, you're going to do this a couple times).
The order should pull up with ALL purchases associated with that order. At the bottom is a button to report a problem.
When you click it, all items should now show a link that says "Report a Problem". For each item, click the link.
A new page will display with a drop down menu and a comments box. Pick the option "I didn't Receive this Song" and note that it was purchased with an iPod Touch that was unable to transfer to back to iTunes. Submit, and repeat for all SONGS.
For all your apps, find the apps you need to download, and iTunes will automatically allow free redownloads, which means you DON'T need to report a problem. When you finished reporting the problem, check your email box because you'll be spammed by the Apple Auto-Responses that an Apple Associate will take care of the problem. In several hours (or overnight), you'll receive a response from said Apple Associate (it will say the same thing all the time, practically automated) apologizing for you not receiving the songs. They will credit your account and you can "repurchase" that song (since you will technically receive a "gift card" on your account of 1.29 per song). That should solve your problem.

I can no longer add songs to my Ipod touch

These are the things I have done:
I cleared space, as mine doesn't have a lot of it.
I updated both itunes and Ipod software
I have restarted both my Mac and my Ipod.
I have checked to ensure that "manually add songs" or whatever it says is enabled
The plus sign appears and once it even said "Updating files on 'Aquarius' " but when I checked, there was nothing there.
I don't want to go to the apple store as its a bit of a treck and Im disabled so its not that easy.
Please help, music is the only thing that makes it better and the new GreenDay comes out in a few hours.

I fixed it. Had to do a complete restore. Bleh! But so glad to have my baby back.
Thanks for viewing!

Why can't I delete my songs off of my iPhone from iTunes?

I want to delete a bunch of songs off of my iPhone but it won't let me delete them from Itunes. I know that I can delete them from my phone but when I search them I can't delete them like that; I have to go through roughly 700 songs to look for the 20 or so that I want to actually delete. Why can I delete them from the "Music" list in iTunes but not from "Music" list from my device? I still want them in iTunes, just not on my phone. Help me please!!

I completely agree and am seriously getting off the Apple Mothership. I've been a loyal fan of mac products but recent updates seem to reduce user functionality.
I also have a Iphone 4 and unable to remove songs from Itunes or my phone. Since updating to the Lion (which was a total mistake) my Macbook Pro (only a few years old) runs slow and hot. My phone, wihich was rather reliable freezes.
Mac products used to reign superior to Windows but it's no longer the case.

How can i add songs to my ipod touch???????

apparently apple has done another update, and a whole revamp of the original layout and i can not find ANYTHING any more. updates dont work and it says my 2000 pictures are gone and my 500 songs show as only 1 song.....which is the ONE new song i just added. what the heck did they do????? how can i upload anything?????
I promise you i will NEVER EVER buy anything from apple ever again. This has been my first and final purchase because they seem to make it soooooo overly complicated that i just want to smash the machine to bits and go buy something else.....which is in the very near future. I can get a $50 mp3 touch screen player with 32GB through walmart right now that does EVERYTHING this ipod touch does and if it breaks WHO CARES IT WAS $50!!!! Unlike the $400 i spent on this piece of crap. But the best feature on the cheap walmart one is the ability to use it and understand it!!!
So for now, because i am giving this pos to my son to play with all he wants, how do i get it to add songs?????
Thank you.

I'd suggest restoring it to make sure you start completely clean:

Then you can sync whatever content you wish:

How to delete a song permanently on ipod touch

I deleted songs using the slide technique on my ipod touch, but when i go back on, i still see the songs and the artist names. however when i tap on it, the song will not play or anything. It IS deleted, but the titles and artist names are still there faint. How do i get rid of this permanantly?

Remove it from the list of items in iTunes set to sync with the iPod, or if syncing it manually, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, find that music, and press Delete.

Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes

I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.

What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.

No longer able to delete/add songs/playlists onto ipod touch from itunes...
