Impossible to delete or add songs to the iPhone via iTunes

Dear all,

I'm with my previous iPhone (5s) as a music player - or trying to.

My problem is that when I try to delete or add songs through iTunes, I can't.  The "Delete" option is grayed out, outside, on the Edit menu, and - in short - any attempt to delete the songs "on my device' has no value.  To add songs through drag-and-drop using manual synchronization is just as ineffective.

Further: many of these songs on my device is dimmed, as if caught in Mid-sync.

I deleted all the music from the device itself, but it still shows upwards as shown above in iTunes.

I use iTunes 12.3.2 what I understand is the latest version.  For the record, this is on a Mac Pro Mavericks (10.9.5) running.

Any suggestions (Googling the question is not useful) would be most appreciated.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7163823 - if you subscribed to Apple music or iTunes game, you will not have to run manually or synchronize music on a device in iTunes. Synchronize your music is made by iCloud and all of your eligible music should appear there. Movies can always be synchronized.

    - and connected via cable to the lightning.

    But when I dragged the new .m4r to the window of ringtones in iTunes on the desktop - it came in was dimmed with no check - it seems that it did not really. And nothing new appears on the phone

    iPhone 6 s, iOS 9.2

  • Can't delete songs from the iPhone from iTunes 6

    iPhone iOS 6 9.3.2

    iTunes 12.4.1.6

    OSX 10.11.4 El Capitan

    I have manually manage music on my iPhone with iTunes.  I used to be able to select an album in iTunes and then drag it to the iPhone to add it to the iPhone.  The only way I can get the albums on my iPhone is now, right-click and select Add to the device.  Also, I used to be able to DELETE the songs off iPhone from iTunes.  Now when I select and right-click on several songs of the devices > iPhone > music section of iTunes, the only option I get is to add to the Playist...  I can't delete songs from my iPhone from iTunes.  Any ideas.  There must be a better way than the manual removal of the iPhone.

    When your iPhone is connected to iTunes, check the settings > music section to find something like this:

    You can check "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" here instead of 'Library of music together' as I did.

    On the iPhone summary page, you can also check a box that says something like "only sync checked items" - or words to that effect.

  • Cannot add music on my iPhone via iTunes!

    I apologize if this has been asked several times, I'm afraid, I can't find a solution for myself and I have a few questions myself.

    First of all, I have an iPhone running iOS 9.2 5. Operating system my PC is Windows 8.1. My iTunes is currently 12.3. I dunno if iTunes itself set to date (although I'm sure that I have disabled the automatic updates), but I've never manually updated my iTunes since the installation. And since the installation, I was able to add music on my phone just fine. I don't have to add songs to the iTunes library and let it sync. I used to drag and drop the song directly in my phone's music library. It goes the same for movies.

    But today, my cursor turns into a 'NO' (the circle with the slash) symbol each time do I drag and drop my songs, as I've done normally. The song is not added, and my phone's music library is unchanged. I have still a few left GB which I believe is sufficient to add 2-3 songs.

    So, I tried looking for an online solution. Most of them recommended to "manually manage music and videos". This setting average/do what? I tried to check it out and apply the changes, however, I get a popup window that informs me that my phone is synchronized with another library iTunes on another computer and if I want to "erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library."

    He adds: "you can sync an iPhone with the library only iTunes at the same time." Erasing and syncing replaces the content of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library. »

    Now, as I mentioned, I used to add tracks directly on my phone, so right now, my iTunes library is completely empty. Following this and correct me if I'm wrong, but if I choose "Erase and Sync" means that all the content - not just music, but the photos and videos - my iPhone will be deleted? Because if so, I'm afraid, I can't continue to "manually manage music and videos". :/

    I also found other solutions, such as:

    1. quickly disconnect the phone after pressing "erase and Sync. However, I am a little worried about it. I do not say that it does not, but he had been warned that if you unplug a little too late, you may lose your data. And I'm not willing to take that risk.

    2 uncheck "share my library on the local network. However, mine is already disabled. Check back it will solve my problem? This setting even mean?

    It's so about it. If anyone can help or even answer some of my questions, it would be really great! Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    In addition, if you need further details, let me know.

    See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device. You should always keep a complete copy of your media on your computer and which back up to another drive for security. You will then be able to restore or to recharge your device if need arise.

    Clear and synchronisation warning refers to music, videos, podcasts, and other media, not your data app and settings or your camera. However you would be advised to return to the top of your device and the copy on the contents of the camera roll before making any changes.

  • How can I manually add songs on my Ipod via Itunes and keep my apple music songs too?

    Hello

    I am a music producer and I had trouble manual addition of my songs on my Ipod. I looked everywhere online for an answer and I can't find one. When I try to drag and drop my songs on my IPod in Itunes it gives me the image on my mouse in saying he will add it, but it doesn't do anything when I drop.

    Several online forums supposed to go into the settings of my Ipod and check "Icloud Music Library". but I have an account of appple music and don't want to lose my music, I downloaded there, which is what tells me my Ipod is going to happen.

    I am looking for a way to have my Apple music and manually add music on my Ipod even.

    Thank you

    Caleb

    If you enable the Apple music on any content already on device can be merged with your Apple's music library. To add more songs to the device, add them to your library, and then download them to the device. You may not transfer directly from iTunes, but you should still be able to add one of your songs.

  • Archive a backup of the iPhone via iTunes with Windows

    I signed up to beta test 10 iOS, however before that I am required to 'archive', a 'backup' or my current iOS...

    I use the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7, and we cannot right click and select "Archive".

    What is the right way, or is there another solution? Otherwise it means that all the users of Windows cannot be testers...

    Thank you!

    I saw this once before. I don't know what the solution is. I suggest that you use the beta Web site to contact someone to ask this question. You cannot discuss the beta software in the public debate.

  • Add support for the iPhone in an application already published

    Hello

    Is it possible to add support for the iPhone to a multi-folio application which we have already published in iPad format.

    If so, what are the steps before you download a .ipa file revised to Apple for review?

    There are a few paragraphs on the update of the application in general on p58 here but nothing specific to add support for additional platforms to an existing application.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ross

    You must do two things to make your application work on the iPad and the iPhone:

    1. create fact sheets for the iPhone.

    2. create and submit a new version of the viewer using DPS App Builder. Select iPhone and iPad. Use the same files mobileprovision and CERT.

    You also need to create some application icons and splash for iPhone screens.

  • How can I add songs at the beginning of a selection (iTunes for Windows)

    I saw this issue addressed in the iTunes for the Mac community, but solutions do not seem to apply to Windows for iTunes version.

    I want to add to a playlist of songs, but add them at the beginning of the playlist (not the end, as is the current default). Of course I can drag the pieces at the beginning if I want, but is it possible to do it automatically?

    New songs are added at the end of the list if you drop them on the name of the playlist. If the list is in a State of play and opens in front of you, then you could drag and drop songs into the first position of Windows Explorer or the Finder.

  • Impossible to delete my account gmail of the CT

    I'm trying to delete my account gmail since the latest version of Thunderbird. I go to tools/account selection, select it, go in manage identities, but Delete and Set Default vuttons button are disabled. How can I delete?

    If you try to delete an ACCOUNT I'm not sure what you do with managing identities.

    Go to tools-account settings
    Select the account
    Then stocks / delete account

    If there is no message for this account that you want to keep, move them to a folder under local folders before you delete the account. Any message associated with a deleted account will disappear with the account unless that settled first in local folders.

  • Search for all songs in the library in iTunes

    I used to be able to select all the songs in the left navigation bar - now iTunes requires me to select the folder or playlist. I used to be able to do it from the top left navigation bar and select my music. It appears the navigation bar has changed as well. That's happened?

    In the sidebar, if you do not see 'Songs' displayed, place the cursor on the library and select 'change '.  Add 'Songs' from there.

    Click 'Music' to see the drop down menu.  From there you can add other categories that you use often, such as TV shows, movies, or Internet Radio.

  • Songs are not playable on the Iphone after itunes syncing

    Hello

    I have a big problem, I synced my iPhone 6 with iTunes on my PC Windows 8.1 (both have the most recent version of the software installed), but now, nearly half of my songs are included on the Iphone but gray and cannot be played with itunes there is no problem playing them.

    Not all the songs are bought on itunes, that some are other portals of the time download before I used iTunes and some are CD. Until I synced the majority of my songs worked perfectly fine now with about 50 songs playlist can play around half of the songs is not available... If I click on it I get two different messages:

    seriously what is that, I do not use Apple, iCloud or game music and that you don't want to listen, I want to just my music files on my computer to be synced my Iphone so I can listen to.

    These are my settings on the iPhone:

    What I did yesterday was to remove all music from my iPhone via iPhone options, after I made a link to my PC and sync the iphone without music, then I restarted the iPhone by holding down the home button and lock until she has been reset, after it restarts I have once again it connected to PC and sync all my music (so I thought) back to the iPhone , but after this process even more music was missing, before I had only a few songs don't sync, but now half of the songs is not playable.

    Can someone tell me what is the reason for this and how do I solve it, I want to listen to my music and I don't understand why it does not work, where some dreams perfectly worked well yesterday.

    The following steps should resolve things:

    1. Backup of your device.
    2. Restoration as a new device/factory.
    3. Restore the backup that you made earlier.

  • IOS app in iTunes 12 deleting will remove them from the iPhone as well (iOS 9)

    Then... I have not been able to find an answer to this question and I'm a little paranoid to try it with so many apps on my iPhone 6.

    I am currently using iTunes 12.3 and iOS 9.2. I have about 60 GB of apps on my years iTunes download, and if I deleted a lot on my iOS devices they remain on iTunes. It takes too much space on my MacBook and the computer storage space is so low that my iPhone won't even upward.

    In short, that is the question in detail. I want to remove ALL applications from iTunes, with no desire to relocate, BUT you don't want that on my iPhone apps should be deleted. I tried this earlier and as soon as I hit him "sync" the bar at the bottom which shows what takes up the amount of space on the device deletes all applications (which indicates they will be deleted from the iPhone?). Of course, being paranoid I immediately stopped synchronization. My question is if this will actually delete the apps on my phone as well or they will remain as they are?

    Appreciate any help!

    Thank you!

    iTunes stopped copy of apps to your device in your library, and remove an application from your library should no longer cause deletion of your device. However, any application that you have downloaded from the App Store can be removed by the holders of rights without notice at any time, so that if you delete your local copies there is a risk that at some point you lose access to a preferred application.
