How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

Hello cacalenni,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

  • Drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?

    is it possible to drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?  It is very clunkey to have to click each separate file to instruct it to move to the folder.  Better still, can I just sync an existing folder on my hard drive so the pdf's inside always remain up to date on my iPad?

    There is no way to drag and drop in Reader on an iPad.
    There is no way to sync PDFs in a folder on your hard drive to those inside of Reader.
    There are readers (which are NOT free) which let you do some of these things and have more capabilities. You might check out PDF Expert from Readdle which costs $9.99 US.

  • How do I drag and drop files in iTunes 12?  I don't see my other computers in the side bar only playlist?

    I upgraded to Itunes 12 and now cannot drag and drop my movies & music files between my shared computers?  The side bar option, which only appears under the Playlist tab does not show my other shared devices where I used to simply drag files over and drop them on them to transfer.  I have 2 IMACs and a macbook pro that i like to keep hard copies of my music and video libraries on.  Anyone know how I can get my shared computer to show up on the side bar so I can drag and drop like I've been doing for the last 5 years?

    Thank you Peter.  Mine is more about creating playlist on my iMac and then wanting to drop it it on to my macbook pro for tailgating and family events, instead of recreating.  That doesn't seem like something that should bother apple as I already have the music and I am not going to go purchase it again off iTunes if this is what they are thinking.  I think this is about limiting our ability to share music and movies.   

  • I can't seem to drag and drop files between my hardrives?

    This depends on what you mean, can you provide more detail when you say, "I go between a microsoft and mac"? Please be descriptive so I can't leave anything up to assumption.

  • How to I drag and drop from Customize Add On using a Wireless Mouse on a Laptop?

    I have been assisting a friend in installing Firefox. I have added Add On, but I cannot drag and drop them into the toolbars on the top. The tiny weenie add on tool bar stinks for those of us who are older and have weakened eyesight. How Can I Drap and Drop into the Toolbars on the Top using a laptop without a mouse?

    PS. I also tried drag-and-dropping to Photoshop, and it doesn't work either.
    I did more research online, and the more I research this, the more it seems that the LIGHTROOM DRAG AND DROP functionality works on MAC but not on PC...
    If it is the case, this would be a major annoyance.
    Some people said this feature worked on PC in Windows Vista.
    I tried running LR in compatibility more (Vista SP2), but this did not fix the issue.
    I am starting to wonder if this is a problem with LR running on WINDOWS x64 systems... (I am running WIN7 x64)

  • How to drag and drop file between maximized windows in Awesome WM ?

    Hello,
    I am newbie to awesome WM. I am a web developer and usually need to edit files after downloading from FTP. I am using filezilla for FTP and sulblime text 2 for coding.
    How can I drag file from filezilla and drop into sublime window for editing when both windows are maximized? Is it possible? Same way sometimes I also need to drag file from nautilus to filezilla for uploading to FTP server?
    I would be thankful if somebody can guide me to make it possible.
    Thanks.

    I have a similar problem in FLuxbox.
    I can not drag a file from Thunar to any aplication.
    I can "half solve" this problem in this manner:
    Drag a file from a ubication, press ALT + TAB to switch between programs and then drop it inside.
    My problem is that Fluxbox not change from one window to another when you put a file over the taskbar. I do not know if Awesome WM can switch between applications using ALT + Tab but it is the idea.
    Luck with it.
    No awesome wm can't switch between applications when file is dragged using ALT + Tab or MOD4 + Tab and that's the problem.

  • Can't drag and drop files between spaces in lion osx

    since upgrading to lion osx, i've noticed that i can't drag a pic, for example, from safari and drop it into a chat box in ichat.  used to drag pics, web addresses, text, etc across spaces all the time in snow leopard but i don't seem to be able to do it in lion.  does anyone else have this problem or am i missing something?

    You have many issues with your and your wife's machine(s). Everything you've posted works here. Reinstall Snow Leopard, repair permissions, and see if that fixes things.

  • HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

    how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

    You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
    Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
    Are they Mac HFS formatted?
    You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
    MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

  • Drag and Drop Files Onto Seagate External Hardrive

    I can't seem to just drag and drop files I want to store on an external hardrive with Seagate. I hate that. I just want a simple drag and drop so I can free up some space on my computer. But Seagate just seems to just seems to say **** you, we're gonna do it backwards ***. Can someone please explain how to just drag and drop files? I have zero idea, and they don't make it simple to understand.
    So for the love of god....please explain it to me (without use of computer terminology or telling me places I should go on my computer that I don't know what the **** they are. Renders your help useless, and it's frustrating because no matter how many times I ask this, you just give me help i can't understand anyway.)
    Please....it's not hard to ask.
    If possible, use step by step instructions, if you need to tell me to go somewhere on my computer, tell me where that is too so I know where to go. Don't be vague, I can't understand vague instructions when i read them.

    What is the drive formatted as? this is extremely likely the issue.
    FORMAT TYPES
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.
    Maximum volume size: 2TB
    You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
    NTFS (Windows NT File System)
    Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
    Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
    To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
    For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
    Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
    Maximum file size: 16 TB
    Maximum volume size: 256TB
    You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
    HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT)))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
    Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
    Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
    To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
    Maximum file size: 8EiB
    Maximum volume size: 8EiB
    You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
    EXFAT (FAT64)
    Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
    Not all Windows versions support exFAT. 
    exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
    Maximum file size: 16 EiB
    Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.

  • How do i drap and drop files onto my juk drive

    You do only get an alias appearing for the files that you want to burn. But when you click on the Burn icon in the Finder sidebar, the files will be burnt to the disc.

  • How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

    I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

    Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
    Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for  your time.

  • How to drag and drop files in Time Machine Capsule?

    Hi, all
    I have recently bought a Time Machine 2 TB. I have backed up my MacBook Air over the Time Machine. I was trying to copy or drag and drop files in the time capsule, but it wont allow me. It Neither does allow me to create any new folders in the Airport Time Machine. If i try to drag and drop files in it, it says, click to Authenticate, however, there is no place or tab to authenticate. I am the administrator.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    It sounds like you are trying to copy / paste files to the Time Capsule Finder icon, when you should be copying / pasting to the drive on the Time Capsule, which is named "Data" unless you have changed it.
    Open any Finder window and look for the Time Capsule icon under the Shared heading on the left side of the window
    Click on the Time Capsule, which will display a folder to the right named Data, unless you have changed the name of the drive
    Double-cllick on Data to mount the drive on the desktop
    You can drag / drop or copy / paste files onto the drive icon, or open the drive and drag files into the open window.
    The first time that you do this, you may be asked for the Time Capsule device or disk password.
