Can't Move Music to folders in iTunes

My sister recently updated her iTunes 10. Now she says she can't drag songs over to newly created playlists and that she has the PING conversation bubbles icon next to every song. I can't recreate this problem but does anyone know what she's talking about and how to fix it.

Create a folder.
Create a playlist.
Drag the desired songs to the playlist.
Drag the playlist to the folder.

  • How do I move music from folders to iTunes?

    I have music in a Music folder and a Download folder. I can't get Itunes to move it to the Itunes library. The music in the library is all "get info'd" as MPEG, and the music in the folders are all MP-3.
    Do I have to convert the MP-3 music to MPEG or something for Itunes to recognize and load it into the Itunes library?
    TIA - Rick

    I have found the safest method is as follows...
    1. Open iTunes, select from the Menu >File>Preferences,
    2. In the Preferences window, select the Advanced tab,
    3. In the Advanced tab, make sure the checkboxes for these two options are ticked,
        3.1 Keep iTunes Media folder organised,
        3.2 Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library,
    4. In the Advanced tab, check the location of your iTunes library (the default is most likely /user/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media, where user = your computer name, or if the library is on an external drive the drive volume name),
    5. Select OK in Advanced Preferences,
    6. Select from the Menu >File>Add To Library...
    7. A dialogue box will open, asking you where iTunes should be directed - start by selecting your Music folder, then select OK,
    8. iTunes should commence the process of copying all your music located in your Music folder/s into the iTunes Media folder identified in step 4 above,
    9. If this works, repeat steps 6 & 7 but instead select your download folder.
    10. Be certain that iTunes has successfully copied all your music files into iTunes Media folder before deleting your original music files.
    11. iTunes can manage and play mp3 / mpeg3 music files, so it is not necessary to convert these.
    12. If all this has worked, select from the Menu >File>Library>Get Album Artwork - this process usually grabs about 80-90% of the artwork, depending on how well named the files are - that is how well the metadata is organised - as shown in the dialogue box Get Info.

  • How can I move music from ipod to itunes library

    My computer had a virus and I had to restore the whole system and now my itunes library has been wiped. Is there anyway I can swap my ipod music to the itunes library?
    Pleas help!

    There's also a way to perform this without downloading anything. Open iTunes. Open your Preferences. Keep it open so iTunes detects no connection. Go to My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View All Hidden Files. Then click "Ok". Double click on your iPod, and drag the Ipod_Music folder to your desktop. It'll copy. (If you are not in disk mode. If you don't know what diskmode is, don't worry about it.) Final step is to use the safely remove iPod option (the little green thing in your system tray) and then go to File\Add Folder\iPod_Music. Everything should now be in your iTunes, assuming you're using Windows, because you're in the Windows board.

    You can import media to iTunes via File > Add Files/Folders to Library.

  • How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

    My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
    Thank you

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
    Download past purchases
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    If you want to drag and drop, then check manually manage music.
    I much prefer syncing playlists to this option.
    Have a look at the manual:

  • How can I move my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library (with my cps ripped) to my Mac iTunes library?

    Just for my curiosity and knowledge,
    I have a PC (Windows 7) and a Mac (OS X 10.10).
    Both of them with the latest version of iTunes.
    Both of them with the exact music library (genre, artist, album, etc).
    All my music is coming from iTunes Store, so very easy to re download at any time I want with my Apple ID
    My PC (Windows 7) computer has a CD/DVD drive. I would like to RIP some music from my CDs and add them to my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library. 
    Once I finished, how can I move my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library (with my cps ripped) to my Mac iTunes library?
    Thank you so much

    If you've downloaded the media idependently to each library so far then thet won't be exactly the same as there are different naming rules for the files and folders in OS X and Windows. See Make a split library portable for some general advice. You can move a portable library between Mac and Windows, but there is a delay opening the library after each change of OS.

    The sync is one way -  computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1386 Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Typically not.  Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes.  Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2.  Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does.  So that's a problem.

  • Can I move music and movies from one icloud account to another icloud account?

    Can I move music and movies from one icloud account to another of my icloud accounts?

    No.  Purchased music, movies and other iTunes media is permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase it and can't be transferred to another ID.  (Your purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud under the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • How do I move music from desktop to iTunes on the same computer?

    I have new music on my Macbook desktop. I want to move it into iTunes.  This was easy with iTunes 10, but it doesn't work with iTunes 11. So how can I manage new music that isn't purchased throught the iTunes store? How can I move music into iTunes?
    I'd really like to go back to iTunes 10 since it was user-friendly and iTunes 11 is extremely iTunes friendly; os if you know how to do that I'd appreciate it greatly.  Or I'd appreciate learnig about another music management system - other than iTunes since iTunes 10 isn't available any more.

    =Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
    You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404).  Alternatively:
    Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
    Quit iTunes.
    Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at:  http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394.  Do steps 3 and 4.  Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential.  Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
    Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7.  Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved.  Two ways to do this are:
    1.  Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
    2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
        Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
        After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7.  I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
    AirTrafficHost.framework
    CoreFP.framework
    DeviceLink.framework
    iTunesAccess.framework
    MobileDevice.framework
    After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl"  and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

    Other issues:
    - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20432309 - solution to mobile devices saying they need to be restored after downgrading

    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 > Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) - including specific error codes.
    Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).  A  variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

    How can I move music from a hard drive to iphone?

    Import it into an iTunes library and then sync the iPhone with that library. If desired, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create or choose an iTunes library on that drive.

  • Can I move music from my I phone to my nano

    Can I move music from my iPhone to my nano if the music was from a different computer

    Yes, but before you do that..... follow through this: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    Then sync your iphone to transfer others songs that you missed. After all that is done, plug your nano in (make sure your nano and iphone is authorized on that computer). Once you plug your nano, you should be able to sync your songs from your iTunes to your nano.
    If you are attempting to sync iPhone to Nano, you CANNOT do that.
