Why cant I drag and drop photos onto my iPhone in iPhoto?

I just want to put some photos on my iPhone!

The iPhone does not support disk mode.
If you use iPhoto on your Mac for photo storage and management, you can create an iPhoto album or albums for selected photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select sync photos from iPhoto. Choose selected albums and select the iPhoto albums in the window below followed by a sync. The named iPhoto albums will be transferred to your iPhone with the order of the photos in the iPhoto albums retained.
If you want to remove an album of photos, deselect the album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. To remove select photos, remove the photos from the iPhoto album in iPhoto that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
To add additional photos to your iPhone, add the photos to an iPhoto album in iPhoto that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync, or create a new iPhoto album for the photos, select the new album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
Photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync process.

Why cant I drag and drop into playlists

I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7

Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

why cant I drag and drop into playlists
                                The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
                                Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
                                In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
                                If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac. Need to reformat it using disk utility.

Why Cant I Drag And Drop Music And Movies to My iPOD?

Why does Apple make this so hard? I dont want to sync, everytime I do I lose everything and I dont like keeping a separate folder with my tunes I like to listen to all the time and then I dont have the time to go through 50 gig of music to uncheck or check what I want on my ipod.... Why cant I just drag and drop to my Ipod? Why do I need itunes is there another way to get music and videos on my ipod other than itunes?

Also, I cant just look up what my ipod has on it all ready to delete some videos or music. It wants to sync up with my hard drive then it deletes everything.
Sorry but I am way confused on this. I was really used to my basic MP3 player where I have folders on my drive that I just drag and drop/delete as easy as that.

Why cant I drag and drop my pictures into an order I want to display them

Why can't I drag and drop my pictures into an order that I want to display them ? The 'manual sort' option does not seem to be 'lit' nor does the 'reset manual sort' what am I doing wrong please.
ps
Beginning to wish I had stuck with a PC !

If you prefer a PC use it. No one here cares one bit
As to iPhoto, unless you take a few minutes to actually learn how to use it then you will never be happy. Same with any new PC program that you do not understand. Or a new car for that matter
A great place to start your education is here. http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/
As to your specific issue, trivial. Make an album of the photos and manually drag them to the order you want. Events simply do not work that way
Try to drive your car in Park and you get nowhere because that is not how it works. Any time you use a product incorrectly you will have poor results

Why cant i drag and drop on my macbook pro

all of a sudden i cannot drag and drop files...does anyone know how i can fix this issue? thanks in advance

Well, usually when my mac starts to have strange problems, I usually reset NVRAM (About NVRAM and PRAM) and SMC (Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)). I'm not a specialist but it always work. And a pic helps me better (http://www.chikaboo-designs.com/mac-fan/).
I had the same problem too and after both resetting, all works fines.
I hope it works

Can you drag-and-drop music onto the iPhone in iTunes?

New to iPhone and only just braking it in, as it were.
It looks like the only way I can upload music onto my iPhone is via synching my entire library onto it. Which, if I may say so, is an incredibly stupid and debilitating design - amongst other severe shortcomings of the iPhone I am slowly discovering over time. Is it not possible to drag-and-drop like the good old iPods?
If this is indeed the only way to load music, what's the easiest I can pick out my favorite 2000-or so tunes and put them on there?? Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, because that's when I will start asking for my money back...
Cheers

I don't blame this person whatsoever for making the assumption that the iPod portion of his phone would work similarily, if not the same, as the iPod.
But it does work the same as the iPod. As with an iPod, you can sync all songs and playlists, or selected playlists, or you can manually manage music and videos. You can also select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab and uncheck the songs in your iTunes library that you don't want transferred to your iPhone. This can be used with syncing selected playlists - if you want to remove a song from your iPhone that is in a selected playlist without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes, you uncheck the song in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. There is no difference with an iPod in this regard except for the iPhone not supporting disk mode.
In order to manually manage music and videos with an iPod, you must select this under the Summary tab for the iPod sync preferences, and the same for the iPhone.
And if you resent his rant, why respond and waste your volunteer time on this post?
I can waste my time anyway I see fit. If you don't like it, don't respond.
And not everyone can afford to replace this type of investment on a whim.
Copied from the OP's post.
Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, *because that's when I will start asking for my money back...*
Or the iPhone can be sold to someone else with the proceeds used to purchase a different phone. I haven't read any reports about someone having trouble selling their iPhone used at a good price even if damaged.

How do I put music I have uploaded from a CD onto my iphone 5 via itunes? I have tried to drag and drop it onto my iphone when my phone is plugged into itunes this does not seem to be working.... Getting annoyed!!!

If you have not already reverted the look and feel to be like iTunes 10 then
View > Show Sidebar
View > Show Statusbar
click on the black arrow in the search box and untick Search Entire Library
Now you should be able to drag and drop onto your phone or use the sync pages

Now I tried downloading other albums that are in my library but not on my phone and those didn't work either. Could it be my phone or itunes that's not working?
