Hi, and welcome to the community!
Try Creating a new playlist, copying all the songs from that one into the new one, then adding the track.

I am unable to add songs to a playlist, what do I do?

I am unable to add songs to a playlist. Any suggestions. All of the things I've previously done to add songs don't work now.

I am unable to add songs, even when iTunes Match is turned off. Also, if I purchase a song on another device, it will appear in my playlists, but I cannot find it in the Music tab or when I search my library. Anybody have a resolution on this issue? All was well until iTunes 10.5.1.

Unable to add music to playlists

Since downloading the latest iTunes software 10.4 (80), i am unable to add songs to existing playlists on itunes and my iphone 4. please help.

First of all make sure it is a regular playlist (note symbol) and not a smart playlist (gear symbol). OK so far?
If that is not the problem, you may be encountering the intermittent bug that affects drag-n-drop into playlists. The workaroud is to right-click the file, use "Add To Playlist" and pick the list you want.

Ever since my last update I have been unable to add songs from my i tunes library onto my i phone. The "add to" button does not appear for me when I connect my i phone. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

After changing laptops, i am unable to add songs into my iPhone 4. The song appears in the library but not in the device. Help!

I have not been able to add songs into my iPhone after switching computers. The mp3 format of these current songs are in the old laptop and i am unabe to retrieve them. In the new laptop, i am unable to add songs to my device, only to the iTunes library.

Best route here is to focus initially solely on the iTunes Library. Once it has all the Songs that you want, turn off iTunes Match, sign out of iTunes Store and restart the computer from cold.
Moving to the iPhone would suggest a restore and fresh link to the library post the following steps.
1. Sign in to iTunes Store;
2. Turn on iTunes Match - allow 3-step process to run to completion;
3. Make secure backup of library;
4. Force iPhone in to restore mode - hold down 'power on/off' with 'home key' for 10 seconds
5. Attach iPhone via USB to computer and follow 'restore' instructions in iTunes
6. Once complete synchronise with library as required
At this stage all required Songs should be on the iPhone - post iPhone back-up a good point to fully enable iTunes Match on the iPhone if required.

Cant add songs to playlist

just got a new ipod, transfered songs from old ipod to laptop, put songs onto new ipod. Now the problem....i cant add songs to a playlist, the arrow doesnt give me the add to option and i cant drag them.....i have multiple devices , ipad, 2 iphones and now this ipod....itunes says downloading song x to match, what the heck is that and why is it taking so long? do i have a library conflict or something? i constantly struggle with syncing and manually manage this and that and all these songs will be deleted and synced with this library, etc....you get the picture.....can anybody give me the crash course of apple products 101? i never had any problems when i just had an ipod years ago but when we got multiple devices and accounts and cloud everything has become much more difficult.

What sort of Playlist?
You can only drag songs into regular Playlists, but not into Smart Playlists. In the picture below, the highlighted Playlists with the "musical note on paper" are regular Playlists, into which you can add songs:
The Playlists with a "cog wheel" beside them are Smart Playlists. Songs are added to these lists according to the rules you set for that list. You cannot drag songs into them and if you try, you will see the red circle with the slash.
Is this the problem?

How to not add songs from Playlists to the library (duplicate entries)

In my iTunes library, I have lots of songs showing up more than once. When I right-click Get Info it seems this is because I have them on playlists that are also in the library. Songs in multiple playlists can even show up more than twice.
I know I can Show Duplicates but it would take me ages. Also I can't tell which songs are direct, and which are from a playlist, unless I right-click and Get Info individually (it probably doesn't matter, but I'd prefer to delete the playlist songs).
How do I edit the preferences so that this doesn't happen, and songs in playlists aren't added again? I looked around preferences and couldn't find anything that seemed to be what I needed.

"Go to Library - Music and click Show duplicates.
Select a duplicate and right click - Show in Windows Explorer.
Everything in the library should be pointing only to an actual file on your HD, not a song in a playlist."
...I'm not sure if you're saying that iTunes shouldn't be behaving like this, but it IS. I followed your instructions, selected Library - Music and clicked Show Duplicates... what I see is 511 entries, most in pairs, some triplets.
Here's an example:
Two identical entries (bitrate, files size, duration, etc., all the same) for Get Me by Everything But The Girl... clicking Show in Explorer for the first entry opens an Explorer window with the filepath:
D:\Music\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
...clicking the second entry opens the SAME Explorer window with the same contents but with the filepath:
D:\Music\My Playlists\..\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
So are you saying that the only way to eliminate these duplicate entries is to individually click each one and check if it's pointing to the original song file or to a playlist that includes that song and then delete it manually? ...for 511 entries? ... and how do I prevent this from happening with any new music I add?

I can't add songs to playlists

For some reason I can't add songs to a playlist, whether it's by the new drag & drop feature or even right click & add to playlists. Song's just aren't being added.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

A Smart Playlist has this icon in iTunes 11:

Hi everyone,

Add song to playlist whlst it's playing

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how to add a song to a playlist whilst the song is playing?? I know how to add songs into the actual playlist. Just wasn't sure if you can shortcut it whilst it's playing.
Thanks

If you did what I said, it actually visually shows you, when you move your cursor to the results of the search (menu items).
Two ways:
1. File >> Devices.
or
2. Click your device (upper right), click what you'd like to sync (ie music) on the top bar, select what you want to sync on the page, and press the sync button.

How to manually add songs and playlists to ipod with new version of itunes?

So I didn't have any problem adding songs to my ipod nano manually until I updated itunes a few minutes ago, and found the settings completely different than previously. I can no longer just drag songs and playlists to my ipod. I have "manually manage music" and "enable disk use" selected. I do not want to sync my whole library to it. I have more songs in my library than can fit on my ipod. And I already have my playlists set up how I want them. Can someone help?

go to iphone, then on the page below click the Add To... icon on the top right.
then its easiest to view them by songs. and then you can drag and drop from them and click Done when finished

Can't add songs to playlists in iTunes 9

Is anyone else having this problem in iTunes 9? I can't drag any songs into any playlists (existing or newly created). I can, however, delete songs from playlists.
Please help!
Thanks

I was adding songs to my iPod playlist and not even 2 minutes in to the task I could no longer drag and drop songs into ANY of my playlists. I could just as easily right-click and the songs would go without problem.
I've just got off the phone with Apple Support and all he had me do was download the most recent security update. I believe the only reason I was asked to do with was so my Macbook would not just restart, but also refresh all of the apps as well.
So far so good. KMFC.

Unable to drag songs or playlists to my ipod

I'm having trouble with not being able to drag songs or playlists to my ipod. With manual updating on. Any suggestions. Thank you very much.

hi mattie!
okay, we'd better check on this possibility:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

ITunes 10.1.1.4 - Unable to add songs from Windows Library

Hello,
I have just installed the latest version of iTunes, I apologize if I have entered the wrong version in the thread title, however - I am now unable to drag and drop songs from my Windows Folder Library into my Playlists on my iPod Touch into this new version of iTunes.
I used to simply drag the file over to iTunes and hover the mouse over the playlist, which would auto highlight itself and then leg go of the mouse and it would be updated, however now - nothing.
Please can someone help me with this, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alan.

There is some problem with your WSDL.

Looks like some problem with your operation definition with input and output variable definitions.

"add song to playlist" is not working in itunes.

I recently replaced my laptop with a new one, and I cannot copy (by dragging or using "add to playlist") a song from my itunes library to my iphone 5.
Also, how do I copy the playlists of my iphone to the itunes libraries? I synchronized and backup-ed the iphone in itune, but this didn't do it.
My os is Microsoft windows 7.
Thanks for your help.

did you get this fixed? I have the same problem - thanks for saving my bacon though with the edit playlist tip
Apple, please make this easier - it used to be dead simple with tunes on the right of the playlist lists and you'd drag, now, seeing playlists and songs at the same time is a pain, you have to use to edit option or the NOT WORKING right click method. Is this fixed in a later version? I have v11.05 - I am fed up of keep upgrading at 80Mb a go and 20 minutes out of my life hence, I am not up to the most recent. If it still is a problem with the latest, I'll have to wait til the next
Thanks, Matt
