Q: Itunes 12 does not have the "Manually manage music" option

I have itunes 12 and the "manually manage music and videos" is not there. "Manually manage videos" is the only option. I use itunes for work and I NEED a fix. I am unable to drag and drop as well.

    I seemed to have to switch off iCloud music, at that point I began to wonder what the point of paying Apple £15 a month when I couldn't seem to use their service whilst also accessing music I've bought over the years, so I unsubscribed.

     

    It is kinda scary how badly thought through a lot of iTunes and Apple Music related decisions seem to be...

    I'm not sure what people mean when they say the "summary tab".

    I'm not sure what people mean when the say "iCloud Library". I go to iCloud Drive on my phone and turn it on, but the word "library" doesn't appear.

    The Genius did not appear above Music when I turned on cellular data.

     

    So I still can't find the "sync" button, manually or automatically. I can't uncheck a song. I can't delete a song using the delete button. I'm stuck.

     

    I finally found the sync button! I right clicked beneath the word Devices in the Playlists view and it came up.

    maybe doing something in all those suggestions worked.

    holy crap, just when i thought nothing anyone said on these forums would work this did. You're a saint, i might even go as far as saying I'm falling in love with you. You cannot imagine how frustrating it was not being able to sync new music to my phone and the steps everyone else had been talking about doing absolutely nothing to help my problem.
    thank you so much

    Worked, thanks.  Not sure why Apple continues to make default changes to our phone/iTunes setups when they update.  As bright as they are you would think they would make it easier on the user.  Beginning to be painful to even look at an update message.

    Fo MacBook El Capitan:  In iTunes 12, there is an icon of the device on the left side bar and above that side bar as well.  Click on the top one and a summary will appear.  The manually manage music option is listed in that summary.
