Won't accept single songs/palylists in iTunes after os3 update

Once iPhone is synced, I go to music in iTunes and try to drag just one song over or a playlist and the phone won't accept it.
I went into settings and set the music to automatically sync playlists and it will add the music that way.
When I updated the OS3 all music and playlists were removed from the phone. Everything else was there, apps, images, pictures I took specially from the phone itself, but alas no music.
Is there anything I can do. I searched and found a lot of other issues with this update but nothing about music.
I have not changed music formats, updated anything else (outside of the iTunes 8.2 upgrade). Actually the only change is I restarted the computer today because of loss of power.
Any ideas?

I let the sync fully load on one playlist. Once that was done I unplugged and powered off. Power on and sync again, clicking the manually chose music and video in first pane of setting window.
After that it allowed me to load any song. Not sure why it did this after the update but maybe a software glitch? Resenting and syncing may have done the trick.

  • My apple tv is not accepting my apple ID for itunes after an update

    Apple tv is not taking my apple ID for itunes, after i updated the apple TV it stopped logging me into itunes, what should i do...?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        3.    Restart your router.
        4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
        5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • IPod Nano won't accept new songs

    When I try to add new songs to my iPod Nano in iTunes it LOOKS like they get added. I can see them on the iPod, both at the top-level and in whatever playlist I put them in, and I can even PLAY them from the iPod in iTunes.
    But once I disconnect the iPod from the PC they're gone from the iPod - they're not in Songs or in any playlist. The only sign that I did anything is that Info shows the amount free space decremented by the size of the songs. So they're taking up space on the iPod but they're not visible.
    If I reconnect the iPod to iTunes it doesn't show them either (and it fixes the available space discrepancy, too).
    FWIW I currently have 291MB of free space, and 314 songs on my 2GB iPod Nano, PC is Win XP.
    Thanks in advance!

    > I'm sorry that there doesnt seem to be a better
    solution unless the post above applies :)
    Reloading the the songs seems like reloading the whole OS on a PC just because one DLL or Registry entry is bad or replacing a car engine because of a blown head gasket.
    Right now I have an Ipod with lots of songs on it that plays just fine. It just won't accept new songs. What if I dump everything to my PC, blow-everything-away, and try to reload it and it won't load ANY SONGS? I'm 4000 miles from home, so then I'm really stuck, with no tunes! From an engineering standpoint this approach just doesn't make sense to me. This is my first Apple product - are they all like this (i.e., if something acts up start over from scratch)?
    When I have my iPod connectd to my PC I can see all kinds of system files in iPod_Control\Device. Aren't there any diagnostics we can run on those to simply solve the problem?

  • I cant' sync my ipod because it says"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. I can't download it because my MAC is version 10.5.8 and it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Any suggestions?

    If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

  • Updated to 7.0.6 on my iPhone 5s and now my phone is all out of whack. It won't sync the new playlists I added after the update though when it's plugged into iTunes it says it's synced. Help please!

    So I updated my iPhone 5s to version 7.0.6 yesterday, and now my iPhone music isn't working properly. It won't sync the playlists that I added after the update though when it's plugged in on iTunes it says that the music is synced. When I select a song in a playlist on the phone it shuffles through the playlists for like 3 seconds and picks a totally different song to play. I tried reinstalling iTunes, I tried restoring the iPhone, is it just a bug with the update? Nothing works. Any solutions are welcome.

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

  • I downloaded an album and every single song is cut off after about a minute and a half.

    I downloaded an album and every single song is cut off after about a minute and a half. I checked the Help information, but there isn't a button visible to download it again. How can I fix that?

    I have a problem too - may be related to this.  I downloaded 5 albums over the weekend, plus a few singles.  Every one of them has at least 1 song that stops playing partway through, some as quickly as 5 seconds in.  Looking at the file itself, the size seems right for a song of that length, and I got no errors during download, but out of the ~75 songs I purchased over the weekend, I have 10 (so far, still checking) that are incomplete

    No. That would only be required if there is an interruption  during the update, which would then mean it needs to be restored.

  • Side bar missing from iTunes after the update o oct '14

    It's not missing. It's no longer used as you remember it. But there is no loss of functionality if you take some time to work with iTunes.

  • IOS7 Syncing issues - Single song deleting using iTunes.

    Since iOS7 on my iPhone (and all iTunes updates since the iOS7 iPhone update up to 11Oct13), I have massive problems updating my iPhone. The problem being that I can make minor changes on my phone and then sync my phone, but my phone reverts to all the old songs, apps, etc.. from the last sync. What simple setting am I missing? I've never had this problem before, and why does itunes have authority over my iPhone on the sync? Can I change this? Why can't I delete single songs off my iPhone using iTunes? It's bloody frustrating.

    I pretty much have the same issue and am tearing my hair out!
