Itunes won't let me drag-n-drop .m4r files into the 'TONES' library (for ringtones)

Can anyone help?  I have created ringtones by converting my song to AAC, then shortening it to 40 seconds, then saving it as .m4r file extention.  I have changed my preferences to show "Tones" library in my iTunes.  Only problem is, iTunes won't accept the ringtone when I try to add it.  I tried to add it by grabbing it from Finder and dropping it into iTunes...but nothing adds???  Any suggestions?

In order to drag and drop, you need to have the box next to "Manually manage..." on the iPad summary pane checked.
This was changed (in V 10.0?)
Items dragged to the iPad/iPod will still get copied over, even when not manually managing.
Select the tabs across top and the dragged items show up at the very bottom under *Manually added*.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

  • ITunes won't let me drag and drop anymore

    Last friday, I closed my Macbook and it never started again. I bought a new one. The guy at the Mac Store said, "Just plug in your iPhone, enter your pw, and everything will work like it used to." Of course, I left the store thinking, "No way is that going to happen," but I didn't stay and fight. Of course, I plugged in my iPhone, immidately my Mac started saying, "You do not have sufficient permissions." To get rid of it, I read a post that said I should select to sync and then unsync everything from the phone (which deleted everything of course, but I'm not that upset about). Anyhow, the iPhone syncs now, but the lingering issue is that my old computer let me drag and drop MP3 files directly from my Finder window to the iPhone music library in iTunes. I DID NOT HAVE TO USE THE ITUNES LIBRARY AND I DID NOT HAVE TO CREATE PLAYLISTS. (I hate people who capitolize things, but I've read in several other posts where people say, "That was never possible to drag and drop, you always had to create playlists." No, you did not. I gurantee you because I've never done it). To state it just once more, I did NOT load the songs into iTunes, then go from iTunes to the iPhone, but instead, with iTunes open, and the iPhone plugged it, I would select the mp3 in the Finder window, then drag it to the part of iTunes which allows me access to the iPhone, and the iPhone section of iTunes (not the main iTunes library on my Macbook, but the iPhone itself) would become highlighted in blue, then I would release the trackpad and the song would load onto the iPhone (but never be associated with or loaded into the iTunes library for my Macbook).
    Now when I drag the mp3 over, the iPhone section stays gray and won't let me do it.
    How can I fix this? I detest iTunes. I'd be in love with Apple completely if it weren't for iTunes, which is constantly broken and never works. I'm happy with my music stored in my own filing mechanism, with my own method of tagging them, and I don't want to conform, I don't want to "get used to it."
    Please someone tell me how to fix this! (Before it messes up my iPad as well).
    PS... Of course, in the time my computer broke and I bought the new one, Apple released yet another updated version of iTunes, which they forced me to update before I could even use it. So, I don't know if the phone didn't sync over correctly or the update didn't work.

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • ITunes won't let me drag and drop music

    I have converted files from YouTube to mp3 and then put them in my iTunes library... but iTunes won't let me put them into my phone. I have manually manage music selected and it has allowed me to do so in the past (maybe 2 weeks ago). I'm just really frustrated now because I don't like syncing my entire library because iTunes somehow manages to forget the majority of my music's artwork which is important since I paid for all but 3 of the songs in my library. Help?

    Also, you may have to do this since the iPod may think the rebuilt computer is a new computer/iTunes library. Otherwise, you will only be able to manage videos and music manually.

    Drew,
    Are you sure that those are regular playlists (music note symbol) and not smart playlists (gear symbol)?  Smart playlists populate themselves according to their rules, and you cannot drag songs into them.

  • ITunes won't let me drag and drop songs from library to my device.  Recently replaced the harddrive and have authorized it with iTunes.

    Recently had to replace my harddrive on my PC and files were not recoverable from the failed drive.  Installed iTunes on the new drive and ripped some cd's into the library.  However, I cannot transfer these songs to any of our "i" devices in the house.  I authorized the new drive with iTunes and still no luck.  Anyone have any ideas?

  • ITunes locks up when I drag-and-drop video file into library

    I have some videos that I have on my computer that I want to add to my library but when I drag and drop them into my library iTunes freezes. I never had any problems with this before. The format is right. I used a program to convert them and other videos worked but this one.

    What version of iMovie?
    What Device?
    Have tried to restart, soft reset your device?
    What is the video audio source?
    This forum is for iMovie iOS (ipads & iphones).
    Are you referring to iMovie Mac?
    If so I can get your post moved.

  • Drag and drop photo files into photo lab website for uploading photos, worked in old version but not in new version.

    drag and drop ability not available in new version. I am trying to upload a large number of photo file to an online photo site for processing and the drag and drop does not work it did on the old version.

    Nothing to be fixed. Just a little learning for you.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.

    GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.  It did before, now all of a sudden it won't... anyone know why?
    I am dragging them from iTunes, and it has never been an issue before.  I have used AAC, MP3, and AIFF before and never had an issue.
    Is there a setting possibly that I need to change?

    Same with me, Lion is a cool OS but the updates iTunes has nothing but problems. I can't even drag song to my desktop. You can try finding the song through iTunes music folder but the song I wanted wasn't there. To get there look at this artical http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391. to help you find that song.
