Drag n drop not working in iTunes

Hello all, it seems randomly that drag n drop stops working in iTunes for me. The only way to fix it is to quit iTunes and restart it again. Does any one have a suggestion that could help me fix it? Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Even restarting does not work, i am using a jail iphone 3gs, not sure if thats got anything to do with it?
Anyone help, the only way i can get albums etc to add is to sync and that messing all kinds up.

  • Drag and Drop not working in iTunes 12.1.0.71

    I've been working with iTunes on a PC for years - so I'm embarrassed I can't figure this out.  As recently as a few weeks ago, I could drag and drop movies and music from Windows Explorer into iTunes 12.1.0.71- now it's not working.  Even using the menus for File - Add File to the Library isn't working.  Did something change in this release?

    Sorry 1 correction on my earlier post.  Install iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16) NOT 12.1.0.71!
    Thanks Guys!  This fixed me up.
    I uninstalled
    - All  Apple Packages
    - Bonjour
    - iTunes
    - Quick Time packages
    Deleted the Apple, iTunes, & Quick Times folders:
    - c:\Program Files
    - c:\Program Files (x86)
    - C:\Program Data
    - C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Local
    - C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\LocalLow
    - C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Roaming
    Rebooted

    Installed the newest QuickTime 7.7.6
    and Bingo!  Hopefully the next iTunes release addresses the issue moving forward.
    Thanks Again!

  • Drag and Drop not working in iTunes (Mountain Lion)

    Hello,
    Earlier today the drag and drop function in iTunes stopped working.
    It was working yesterday and this morning, but no longer.
    I have not updated any software in a few days, but I did install
    JAVA 7 right before it stopped working. I have since deleted the Java 7 files
    in Library necessary for ridding my computer of it.
    Drag and drop is still fully functional in Finder, Mail, etc
    It seems to be broken only in iTunes.
    I don't have any clue why this has happened.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    iTunes 10.7 (21) 64bit
    Mac OS X 10.8.2

    Does anybody have any ideas?
    I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
    but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
    impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
    Thanks!

  • Drag and drop not working in itunes?

    I've recentlt udated to Snow Leopard and my itunes id up to date. First thing I noticed is that many things I used to do via drag and drop won't work anymore. or instance, i create a play list then I want to dag songs to it but it won't do it. I have to right click on the file and then select 'add to play list' and choose which playlist to add to. next, I want to rearrange the order of songs in a playlist and before I wold just click on the song and drag it up or down into the spot I want. Well It won't let me do it. Basically you need to add tracks in the order you want the first time.
    What's going on here, is this the way it is now or am I doing something wrong. BTW, I'm a long time mac user (since early 90s) and this is the most non intuitive experience I have ever had on a mac.

    well I discovered the problem after some research. It seems that if you have a wacom tablet and mouse, your mac won't allow you to do some drag and drop features. I have a microsoft mouse attached as well and it works fine.

  • Why does drag and drop not work?

    Why does drag and drop not work?

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

  • Drag and drop not working.  When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program.  Happens in finder numbers and firefox

    Drag and drop not working.  When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program.  Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
    This is a serious pain.
    Please help.

    Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • PowerMac 5.1 drag and drop not working, any suggestions?

    Powers Mid 2010 5.1 running 10.10.3, drag and drop not working smoothly, won't engage to drag. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the return, well, just trying to relocate a web screen or move a saved application from the desktop into a folder. I use Final Cut Pro Ten extensively and sometimes I want to drag something off my desktop into the time line on the FCPX. When I left click and hold on the item to drag it doesn't seem to engage then when it does move it quits along the way to the drop point. I hope that makes since too you? I use a Logitech two button with a scroll wheel wired mouse and have twin 32" monitors. Thanks Latranner

  • Win 7 Drag and Drop stopped working after iTunes update

    I really hope that this is the right sub-forum for this.
    Here goes:
    A few days ago I finally upgraded to 9.1.1.12 and today I was in for a nasty surprise: I can't move MP3s from windows explorer into the iTunes window any more.
    I often create playlists and then drag files I get from a few bands I follow directly into those playlists. This is an easy and painless process. My FTP client downloads the files into a prearranged folder whenever they get a new song up, and I then open said folder and drag and drop the file into iTunes.
    I just got a new song to listen to today, wanted to drag it in an... Nothing. Just the black, crossed-through circle of "No".
    It worked last week. It worked the week before. It worked the years before.
    I got Win7 64 in April. It worked on it since then.
    It stopped working today.
    And no, I won't let iTunes consolidate or organize my media. It only organizes files bought via the iTunes store, nothing I rip from CDs or obtain otherwise, as those files have to be playable by two other players as well. But, again: Until this night it worked without a problem. And after the new update... Stopped.
    Is there a new option I'm missing?

    I was able to fix it.
    I simply stopped running iTunes in Admin mode. For some reason, running it in administrator mode makes it behave "worse" than not doing so.
    When I ran it as a normal program, I was able to drag files into it correctly again.
    Which is weird, as the last version was also running in admin mode, but worked perfectly.

  • Drag-n-Drop not working (Finder and within apps)

    while using machine, after about 15 minutes or so, Drag-n-Drop stops working....in Finder and within all apps. Cant' move files within Finder; can't highlight text and move it within an app, can't D-n-D photos; nothing
    it takes either a system restart, or logout of user, then log back in as user and D-n-D is restored.
    But, it works for about 15 minutes or so, again...then stops functioning.
    Happens repeatedly, doesn't matter what apps I'm using, or even using any apps at all...just power up machine....move a few files...let it sit for a while and do nothing, and then D-n-D stops working again.
    This is very annoying...and makes Leopard almost useless, since I can't manipulate anything with the mouse.
    HHHHEEELLLPPP!!!!!!

    I am having the same problem. Even restarting does not work, i am using a jail iphone 3gs, not sure if thats got anything to do with it?

    Hi,
    Welcome posting in TechNet forum.
    Do you mean the drag and drop action of files within different application?
    We may take a try to disable the UAC settings and see if the drag and drop would work. And please note if we have UAC disabled, Windows Store APPs would be expected not going to work.
    For the coding edit stuff, I suggest we keep focus on the MSDN thread.

  • Drag and drop not working again in Thunderbird

    Several weeks back Thunderbird broke (drag-n-drop stopped working) due to some gtk2 related issues.
    The problem was very quickly resolved by a patch to gtk2. Today I noticed that the problem has reappeared.
    I'm not sure what is the source of the problem, though, because I have been running updates for the past few days but it is definitely back.
    I have two systems and both have the same problem as of yesterday... or at least I noticed it yesterday.
    Can any one else confirm the problem?
    R

    JGC,
    Easy my friend! I do not "insist" on anything.
    Matter of fact I did not even know that there was a problem with the "official" version of FF.
    I started using the release of  FF/THB back in my days of Slackware and got used to download the software and add it to my distro... and so I did with Arch.
    In the past it has never been an issue, so I figured it may be something else (like libraries or the like) because the problem got solved after an update of gtk2 a few weeks back.
    Please, do not feel defensive about comments placed in these forums. I understand (I'm a software developer too), it gets to you when all the comments you get seem "negative" or "sound like criticism" but I do have a great deal of respect for the contributions and efforts of all developers. My post was not intended to offend but rather to search for an answer/idea as to how I could approach the problem.
    Thanks for your answer.

  • LR5.7, drag and drop not working...suggestions?

    Two days ago, drag and drop stopped working within lightroom (dragging a photo/photos from the filmstrip at the bottom to a different folder, or into a collection).  The cursor on the screen stays an arrow when you click on a photo and hold the left mouse button down, it will highlight the image in the filmstrip or grid view, but will not do anything with it.  I've never had anything like this happen before.  iMac, 32gb ram, OSX 10.10.1, LR5.7.

    Paul,
    ok, standard support question on Windows: Does this also occur after reboot?
    And my question refers to the right click >> Run as administrator option. It was not the question if your login has administrative rights.... sorry for the confusion.
    Norbert
    CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
    Expert: Geometry
    Marketing Manager: Just ignore it.

  • ITunes + iPod Touch snyc "drag and drop" not working...

    I can't manually sync music to my iPod Touch 3rd gen because whenever I try to drag and drop the song list info thingy just flys back to place and also the green plus symbol dosen't show up... This used to work but now it doesn't... I have tried shutting down my iPod and shuttign down and restarting iTunes, and it still dosen't work...
    Please help!

    This might be too obvious an answer but have you checked your iPod's settings to make sure nothing has changed? 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's no check mark there then the iPod is no longer in the manual mode that allows you to drag and drop content.
