Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

Why can't I drag and drop songs within my playlist?

Why can't I drag and drop songs within my playlist?

Are you automatically updating your iPod?
Are you talking about dragging and dropping in iTunes?

Why can't I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop songs from one playlist to another. The only way I can do it now is by selecting the song[s], right click on them, and then choose "Move to playlist...." Any thoughts?

Yes! This is really annoying. I don't know why they couldn't keep the functionality from the old version. The more I use the new iTunes the less I like it.

Why can't I drag and drop songs from my PC onto my iTunes?

Hi, I am unable to drag and drop music from my PC to iTunes. I have always done it this way. Anyone else having problems?

Hi B-rock, yes I have tried adding to library but still no luck. I am also up to date on the latest version on my iPhone and iPod.
I ended up burning the MP3's to a CD then transporting them to my iTunes when I inserted the CD into my PC!
This has only started happening since I updated!

Can I just drag and drop song files into iTunes?

I have about 50 folders on my PC (Windows 7), each containing between 5 and 15 songs. These are under My Music/ on the PC.
On my Mac, I have about 1000 songs with about 25 Playlists. Some of these Playlists on the Mac contain the same songs as in the folders of the PC.
I want to transfer the songs from the PC to the Mac. I did not want to go through them one by one on each computer to see which of the files on the PC were already on the Mac.
I can look at the PC (My Music) folders and the Mac (iTunes) Playlists side by side on the Mac.
If I see a missing song on the Mac Playlist folder, can I just drag and drop that particular song from the PC folder into the Mac Playlist?
If I see that a Playlist does not exist that would need to be available for the specific folder contents on the PC, can I create the Playlist on the Mac and then, drag and drop all of the songs from the PC folder to the new Playlist?
Would this be the easiest way to accomplish the transfer of the songs?
Thanks

If I understand that all correctly then yes.

Why cant i drag and drop music from my itunes to iphone 5?

Hello,
I can drag and drop to my ipad but not my iphone 5? Help, please. Its seems as though I did it when I first got my phone and now
no can do.

Because you do not have manually manage music selected?

Why can't I drag and drop songs onto my iPod touch?

I can not drag and drop Songs into my songs folder. The iOS is 5.1.1. Please suggest some way outs

To drag and drop you have to have iTunes set up to manually manage music. See:

Why can't I drag and drop photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPad?

I have thousands of photos on my iMac and often want to copy a few dozen to my iPad to bring to my relatives. It seems that I should be able to create an album on my iMac and drag it to my iPad but I can't. Didn't Apple get where it is by making things simple like drag and drop? Why is it like a state secret to get some photos moved over? I'd really like to know the reason. I don't want a convoluted work-around. This isn't Windows!
Come on Apple, give us simplicity or at least a USB port to copy stuff!

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was a bit steamed. I know how to sync photos but object to having to treat my photos on the iPad in such an unintuitive way. Maybe I'm alone ( but I doubt it ) but I have photos on my iPad and iPhone for several different purposes. I keep photos of things I want to paint, photos of friends and relatives, photos of items I saw that I may want to buy and snapped the ISBN code. Photos of book list of authors I like that I want to read so if I see one in a used book store I remember which ones I haven't read yet. I don't think this is unreasonable or even something that only I want. I don't want to delete all of this every time I want to add another photo. I know I can back it up to my iMac and restore it plus the new photo later but this is not what I expect or want from Apple. I have had Apple products since the Apple II and Macs since March 1984 and it was because Apple always seemed to try and figure what the user wanted first and foremost but this seems to have changed. I would prefer most iPhoto and iTunes app versions from ten years ago to those coming out now because they valued intuitive interface over exotic features. Apple is the product 'for the rest of us' but not anymore it seems.
Maybe there are some good reasons why Apple is doing it, security, contracts, etc but I'd like to know. Maybe some of the users know and will give straight answers.
Thanks, for the info though.

Why can't i drag and drop?

I am new to apple, when I try to drag and drop pictures from my camera to my portable hard drive it won't let me, why? I can copy anything almost to the mac hard drive but nothing to my portable???

If the drive is NTFS, then you have some options. There are some programs out there (MacFuse to be one of them) that allow you to write to NTFS from the MAC OSX. Natively, MAC OSX cannot write to NTFS but read this discussion;
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15029713#15029713
I recommened to format the drive to FAT32, that way, both MAC and WIN play well with the drive and I can drag and drop all I want between operating systems. I do not want the HFS+ format on some drives, because then my work computer (WIN) will not be able to read them.
If you are going strictly all MAC OS, then HFS+ re-format of the drive is your best bet.

Why can I not drag-and-drop email addresses into Address Book?

I've used today the email client and the email address autocompletion feature figured out nicely the email addresses of the recipients I wanted to send the email to. So far so good. However, when I've selected all addresses in the To line, I would have liked to be able to drag-and-drop them into the Address Book application, automatically have new entries created there and why not a new group too?

No, that is not possible. However, [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has a script to add every address to the address book, allowing you to pick which ones go to which group and to add a new group, if you want.

Why can't I drag and drop images from the browser into other programs?

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 4 (even after I upgraded again to Firefox 5) I have been unable to drag images from the browser into other programs, including MS Paint and IcoFx. I receive an error message stating that the file (the address given lists it as being located in the temporary files folder) cannot be found.
Prior to this I had always been able to conveniently drag and drop images for easy editing without having to save first and then open them. This feature is important to me, as I work with graphics very often, and is still available in Chrome and Internet Explorer. I love Firefox though, and hope that there is something I can do to fix the problem.

Why can't I drag and drop folders and files in finder?

I was sorting out my folders and files when all of a sudden it stopped letting me drag and drop.
I didn't go on 'Show View Options'.
I've also checked my trackpad settings and all is as should be.
Any idea what's up?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

all of a sudden it stopped letting me drag and drop.
What do you mean by this? What symptoms are being displayed? Are you getting an error message when you try to drag and drop? We need more information to help you diagnose the problem.

Drag and Drop Music folder to iTunes Media folder?

My HDD lacks the space for running "Consolidating Files" (File->Library->Organize Library->Consolidate Files), since iTunes doesn't move the items but rather copies them to iTunes Media. My goal is to have the Music folder live inside the iTunes Media folder. Can I drag and drop the Music folder into iTunes Media? Any adverse consequences for doing this? I am trying to straighten my iTunes folder and file structure. As it is now, in addition to what I mentioned, the *library.xml and other related files are living inside the iTunes Media folder but I believe those should reside under the iTunes folder. How do I get them back out there? Does any of this reorganization matter? Everything displays just fine in the iTunes browser. Thank you for your help.

Where are these files now if not inside the itunes media folder?
since iTunes doesn't move the items but rather copies them to iTunes Media.
Correct. Any music now in iTunes should be in /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder.
Are you looking to add more music to iTunes?
Do this...
Go to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder.
Find the Automatically add to iTunes folder and make a shortcut on the desktop.
Drag songs here. This will add to iTunes and move, not copy, the song to the iTunes folder.

Go to iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Makes sure the iTunes media folder location is set to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
Uncheck Keep iTunes folder organized then click OK.
Then recheck Keep iTunes folder organized then click OK.
