I cant add music to my iphone in iTunes 11

i was having the same problem but only because i have a new iMac and my iphone was synced to my old computers' iTunes. check "manually manage music and videos" and it will ask if you want to sync. you will lose all your old music on your phone but in my case, i will now be able to add music from my new computer. bittersweet if you ask me.

I get a red 'no entry' sign when I try to drag to the phone icon or when I get the old toolbar at the side.

Any idea please?

When in itunes, just drag the file you want to the right - some kind of menu will pop-up. Just drop it into whichever playlist you want. Hope this helps!

Sorry - there is no popup menu - I just get a no entry sign......

I had the same problem for a few days when my macbook decided not to let me drag and drop files to my iphone anymore.

so here's how I solved it:

- create a playlist of the music you wish to add

- click on the Music tab under the Iphone, in your browser to the left

- above the status bar, on the bottom of your window, you should see the Autofill bar

- select the playlist you created in the Autofill from menu

- hit Autofill on the right

Hope it helps!

I also have that problem but i have solve it.The steps I use are:

1.Add songs in playlist.

1.Click on "Iphone" which is on top with itunes store.

2.Click "on this Iphone" which is on top with summary info music etc.

3.After clicking that an album of yours songs or an empty folder will appear .

5.(As i have mention above that add songs in playlist) there is a bar on the bottom where it would b written autofill select song from playlist andclick autofill which is on right side.

I hope this will work.🙂

I'm having the same problem!

I have manually manage songs and videos checked and everything.

But when I go and drag a song to my iPhone it blinks blue like usual and then it just does nothing it's doesnt sync it just does nothing.

Help please

Like Steve would say: "This is Sh..t"

itunes 11 provides a worse experience for the user than windows vista.

When it takes me and everyone else hours to figure out how to do simple tasks on the program, it is obviously a bad piece of software.

Again, This is Sh.t

Couldn't agree more. I work as a Software Engineer and have spent an hour trying to get an album from iTunes onto my iPhone and still haven't managed it.

All because the album isn't on Spotify yet, iTunes is an embarrasing product, I have no idea how anyone manages to make it work for them.

I'm having similar problems and it's driving me nuts! I have the sidebar up and the old format, to try to make it easier, but when I drag the music over my iPhone, where normally I could just drop it, I get the little red sign meaning that I can't drop it there. I can't find the Autofill someone mentioned (in either the new view or the old view) and am super frustrated! I just want some new music on my iPhone! Man I miss the old iTunes and my little iPod, oh the simple days... Anyone know what I should do next to get my new music on my iPhone??

Hi everyone , I actually solve this problem by myself after I start this discuesstion. And I keep getting email from people having the same problem. Hope this will help 😝

This is how I add music to my i-phone.

1. You attach your Iphone to your PC, and start I-tunes.

2. On the upper right, there is an "Iphone" icon. Click on it.

3. Then click on "On this I-phone" tab. The tab list is on the top of your itune software. It should be the one on the right side.

4. Then you can see there is a "Music" tab on the left side.

5. Make sure the music you download is converted into the right version. as "mp3" or movie clip as "mov"

6. Go ahead drag your music into it. 😁

Apple stuff is always unique and I like it cause they look so clean and beautiful. But there are just too many small problems need to deal with.

but this doesnt seem to work if the music is stored on network source, it use to but now its just greyed out when you try and drag and drop it.

I have tried everything that has been mention and nothing works. There are these faded circles next to my songs and the songs are also faded. When I add songs to my iphone they automatically get faded and the faded circle appaers along side the song. Any help on this?

It may be that you have done something that causes iTunes to view the library your device was synced with as different than the one you are currently trying to drag music from onto the device. Go to your device in iTunes, click on music, click Sync music, click selected playlists, artists, albums, genres and then select what you are trying to sync. You may get a message that informs you that the problem is disparate libraries and iTunes will now ask if you want to operate off the current iTunes library, and then sync the new music you have selected. this will allow you to put the new music on your device and eliminate the issue going forward.

Thank God I found this thread. I was about to smash my new MacBook. Why wouldn't you be able to drag and drop your music onto the new iPhone 5? Why can't these propellerheads leave well enough alone? "At Apple we believe in the simple." What a crock of "sh*%!"
