Won't add music

iMovie won't add music. It will let me drag a song from the music area and highlights the movie like it is in there but then no music appears after I release the mouse.

What version of iMovie is this?
Will they not import from the iTunes library?

When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I have an iphone 4s. I have a mac computer and a pc. Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it. I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account.

My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday. Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for. Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?

[Music files are still there, and I can play them on my computer directly from the iPod [just one track at a time] but not in the usual way, through headphones.]
On the Summary page of iTunes for the iPod, it shows 50-plus gigabytes of "Other" content and no music, which was not previously the case. I assume this is related to the problem.
I can bring up individual tracks on the iPod and see cover art, but cannot play the music.

iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

Out of no where, itunes won't let me add music to my ipod touch.

I have itunes 10.4.1 and ipod is 4.2.1. Please help, this is so frustrating! It won't let me drag and drop and it won't work by right clicking either.

I had a similar problem recently after an update. Midway through the update, I got a user error that said I had to wipe the device and restore to factory settings. After I did that, I restored from a recent back up. When I did that it would not allow me to add recently purchased music to playlists on the device. I could not figure out how to fix this anywhere. Finally, in iTunes I clicked on my iTouch on the list on the right. Then in the big box on the left I clicked on summary. Then I scrolled to the bottom where "Options" was displayed. I clicked on "Manually manage music and videos" and then "apply". Suddenly, I could add music to my established playlists on my device! Hooray! Perhaps this happened to you and that box is unchecked? Good luck.

ITunes won't add my music folder!

I've been trying for weeks to figure this out, my music folder is pretty big, almost at 60GB, and it used to be when I tried to add it to my iTunes library it crashed, well, I've been trying recently to do this, and it isn't crashing...but it won't add the whole folder. It adds maybe 1,000 of the songs and then it stops and won't add anymore.
Is there any way to fix this without having to go through and add 600+ folders manually?

Hi Chris,
I appreciate all the info, but for some reason several of the artists didn't get backed up like they should have in the itunes music folder, so I have to add them back from my ipod. However, when I've tried to do that, it says I have 2 copies of each song and then when I delete the one I added off my ipod, it says it can't find the song.
But my ipod names the songs weird so I don't know which song is which! if that makes sense...
And b/c I deleted and then added back my itunes library several times when I was trying to get it sorted out, I have 3 copies of every playlist, even the automatic ones.
I'm so frustrated right now about all of this, and I can't sync up my ipod like I want to until I get all this figured out!

My iTunes won't let me add music from a file, button stays on open and not add! don't know what to do!

I have been trying to add music files to my library however the button is alway OPEN, and not add. I have tried updating my itunes, dragging and dropping, and again trying to open it in add file. Please help! I don't know what else to do.

It wants to erase your iPhone because you are not syncing it to the same library.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
iCloud only stores a copy of your non-iTunes purchases if you subscribe to Match. It still isn't the best way to get your music to a new computer. That's
(if you use iTunes' default preferences settings): Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.

Itunes won't allow me to add music to library. Itunes designated to external drive.

I have an external drive connected to my mac mini. My itunes library is designated to the external drive insted of my internal drive to save space. When I try to add music to my itunes library it gives me an error stating I do not have permission. How do I work around this?

How exactly did you designate?
When did this happen? From the minute you designated or some time afterward?
The correct answer lies in knowing details not yet provided. Until then:

If my iPhone is set up with a different apple ID than my itunes library, how do I add music onto my phone?

I recently got an iPhone 4, and I set up an Apple ID of my own. I would like to put music on my phone, but all of my music is under another Apple ID and it won't let me add music from that account onto my phone. How do I add the music I would like?

'...but all of my music is under another Apple ID ...'
This is the confusing part from your Original Post...
Please state Exactly who this Music you are trying to Sync belongs to.
If it does Not belong to you... Then Yes you will need to Purchase it.

Can't add music to iPod touch 1st gen.

songs in iTunes are greyed out so they won’t add or sync. Did a restore and keeps getting errors. This is an old ipod touch but I had it working fine at first added a bunch of music and after deleting can't add music from my mac. please help

What restore errors are you getting?

Everything is going nuts. and now it won't play music, won't sync. help!

I really need your help. You see I own an 80gb ipod classic. And I bought a bunch of new songs on iTunes yesterday so I want to add them. I tried syncing it but it won't add the songs, instead it messed them all up. The songs that were already added either have a messed up art work, don't play, freeze my ipod or only play halfway. I have bought at least 90% of my music from iTunes so the files aren't damaged.
I really need to fix this, because now not even the hard disk will work and I have over 15gb of valuable content in there. So I need all the help i can get to solve this problem. Help me please!

so I restored it, it took a lot since I had so many files to save.
and even if i restored it nothing works.
now it won't sync ANYTHING. from videos, to photos and songs.
i mean, nothing.
what is wrong? i'm seriously thinking or returning this ipod. it's crap.

Can't add music to iPhone 5s and songs not deleting off phone

Tried restarting phone several times and this has not resolved the issue.
I have deleted a bunch of music off of my phone... when I plug into iTunes, the songs do not show in iTunes but remain on my phone... also when I try to add new music - it won't add the songs(not even in a grayed out state) the file icon just sort kicks back as if iTunes is laughing at me, saying "NOPE! Not today, son!"
'had this issue a few weeks ago and it seemed to resolve itself magically... now it's happening again. Very frustrating.
