Can't drag and drop tracks in playlist

I have a problem with one playlist--I can't move the tracks up and down.
I seem to have this problem with only one playlist and it looks to be column related.
Every good playlist has two columns before the Name field
The playlist in which I can't move the tracks has one column before the Name field and the Name field
contains a blue triangular icon in it.
Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
Thanks,
John

Welcome to AD!
Yes, it's an easy fix. At some point, you clicked on the Name column and itunes is sorting it with that.
That's what the little trangle means.
Go click on the left-most column (the number column) and then you will be able to move tracks around.

  • I can't drag and drop files to playlist or to Shuffle.

    I have iTunes 10.5, and I can't drag and drop files to playlists or to my shuffle.  For playlists, I have to right click and "add to playlist" and for shuffle, I have to copy song and paste it into shuffle.  Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

    A lot of people are having this problem.  Most commonly, they are using a Wacom tablet, and sometimes updating its driver helps.  I don't have a Wacom, but still have the "can't drag" problem.  Here are the workarounds I have found in the forums so far...
    1. "gusto drag" -- slide the pointer across a song and click.
    2. clicking with both left and right mouse buttons.
    3. selecting items and do a "create playlist from selected". Then select the iPod and autofill from that playlist.

  • Can't drag and drop songs into playlists

    Does anyone know why I can't seem to drag and drop a song into a playlist I have created........I can drop songs into the untitled playlist but none of the others. Please help! Thanks.

    Almost certainly, the reason no one understands your issues is because you haven't explained them well enough.

    I can hear alarm bells. It really isn't good.

    So you haven't fixed it yourself, despite saying that you have.
    Okay, stop with those negative waves.
    Have you checked to make sure that the Playlist you are trying to add to is a Regular Playlist...
    and not a Smart Playlist...
    or a Playlist Folder...
    In addition to all of this, the original question was asked 18 months ago, before iTunes 11. So is your problem that you cannot work out how to create a new playlist? For example, at which point do you get stuck with this new Playlist, creating it, or adding to it?

  • I can't drag and drop music into playlists.

    I used to be able to drag music to and from my playlists and main music selection. Same goes for dragging music onto my desktop or anywhere else for that matter.
    I'v heard that it had something to do with Wacom tablets (Which I have), and was told to update Itunes and the tablet drivers to the newest versions, which I did, but nothing happened.
    I have Mac OS Lion, if that helps. At first I thought it was just a silly new update, but now I'm not so sure.
    Help?

    I'v found a quick 'fix' of sorts. If you hold down both the left and right click buttons (at the same time) when dragging, it works. It doesn't solve the problem really, but it gets around it.
    There was another thread about it, and they contacted both Apple and Wacom. Both said that they are working on a fix, but so far there has been none.

  • I can't drag and drop the songs around in a playlist I made

    I just made a new playlist and for some reason I can't drag and drop the songs around to change the order. I have two other playlists and I can drag and drop the songs in those playlists just fine. How can I fix this?

    Select the first column before the track title.

  • HT203128 I can't drag and drop music from iTunes 12 to iOS 8 iPhone 5s. How do I move music now?

    I connect the iPhone to itunes. that works. Everything shows up fine, but I can't drag and drop music from the 'music' section of iTunes 12 on my new mbp or my iMac. I used to be able to. Also, when I slide to delete songs on the iPhone, they still appear as 'ghosts' in the list on iTunes when the phone is connected - if I double click them, a exclamation mark in a circle comes up on the left of the track and it doesn't play. Can anyone help? Kind of need to get this sorted - it's bloody frustrating. I've restarted iPhone, iMac, MBP, downloaded the latest versions of iOS, OS X 10.10.3.

    you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

  • Can't Drag and Drop in iTunes 10!

    This was driving me crazy! You can't move tracks within a playlist or drag and drop content from iTunes to your iPod.
    I hope that Apple will fix this soon! Until Apple fixes this, your best bet is to download iTunes 9. I did, and all my drag
    and drop functionality is back.
    Downloaded it here: iTunes9.dmg

    I'm having the same problem, I can't drag and drop anything to or from anywhere in iTunes. 
    I've also found a workaround.  It's a PITA, and a kludge, but it works every time.  The problem is, it only works for one item or multiple items in a single folder at a time.
    if you right click on the song, and select "Show in Finder", you can drag the raw file from the finder window into your ipod/ipad and into playlists.

  • In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore.

    In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore. I can still drag and drop songs onto my iPod and I can still drag and drop podcasts into other playlists. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod and I've also checked for software updates for the iPod and iTunes. Help?

    Update: I seem to have fixed the problem!  I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes.  I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option.  The songs are syncing!  And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now!  Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem.  There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

  • Can't drag and drop in iTunes

    What's going on with iTunes (10.4 (80))?
    I can't drag and drop my songs, re-order my playlists or anything?? I can import a song into a playlist, but it just appears as the last item in the list, I can't place it where I want.
    I've checked other complaints here, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer: is this a bug? Is it going to be fixed soon? If not, can I downgrade to a previous version?

    I am having a similar problem. For some time I have had sudden loss of drag and drop so that I cannot even move a song around in a playlist, much less to another list. The only thing that stops the is a full system reboot. I have been waiting for a fix however version 10 is much worse. I am having this fail almost every day. I am running an internet radio show from my computer and use iTunes to set up playlists. When I have this problem happen, I have to kick my listeners off and reboot. This is NOT an acceptable situation. I am running iTunes 10.01 on a 2.8 GHz Core i7 iMac with 8 GB of onboard memory. This problem has been happening since at least version 9, however.
    Somebody at Apple please fix this! Or tell me a workaround that does not involve me closing all other programs There is no excuse for this problem continuing.

  • Can't drag and drop MP3 files into GB since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Not sure if this is a known issue but ever since I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6), I have only been able to import (drag & drop) some MP3's into a podcast project. For example, some files I was able to import before, no longer can be dragged and dropped to create a new track.
    I've tried creating a new podcast project but thats not working either. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Ben

    I just read another from another website - http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    that if you choose delete the prefernce files .plist/.cs and use "SAVE AS" vs "SAVE" the files I referred to above get saved when attempting to open th project again. I tried it and it seems to work for me now. I hope this helps others with the GB *"File Not Found"* dilemma in Leopard and Garageband V5.1

  • Can't Drag and drop clip to timeline anymore...???

    Hello,
    Since recently, I can't drag and drop clips into the timeline nor to the preview window anymore!
    All that happens is that the clip moves out of the viewer (it's like being in the preview window).
    And when I choose adapt all, it actually fills the screen but only on some ( ?! ) clips...
    I can insert/overwrite/etc using the F9-F12 short cuts. They work like they should.
    I guess I changed some settings.... thanks for your input...

    *it only lets me add songs via playlists.*
    Check your update settings. Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos", if there is a check mark there then the iPod is set to update manually and you have to drag songs from the iTunes library to the iPod to load them on. If you want to update automatically you need to remove the check mark from there (I would also remove the "enable disk use" check mark unless you want to use the iPod as a removable storage device) and click the Apply button in the right hand corner:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Managing content manually on iPod
    *And why can't I simply see the music on the iPod via iTunes?*
    Click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song list.

  • I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

    Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC  machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Larry

    I found an solution.
    Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.
