Albums that work fine in my desktop itunes don't drag and drop to my iphone

All of the albums work fine in my itunes on my PC, but when I connect my iphone 4s via USB then try to drag and drop them to my iphone, they initially show up, but when I open them on my iphone the songs read in a muted gray and won't play.
Then, after I deleted those albums on my iphone (and additional songs that worked fine on my iphone to be sure that space usage was not an issue), I tried to drag and drop the albums again from my itunesPC to my iphone itunes (connected USB) - but the albums won't tranfer at all this time.
I called apple and an advisor asked my to connect my iphone to my PC again and try deleting a single song (which worked fine previously on my iphone), then the advisor asked me to drag and drop that song back to my iphone from my PC itunes - it would not transfer.
It seems oddly that once I delete an item from my itunes on my phone it is denied re-entry.
Any solutions?

  • HT1386 Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

    Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

    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.

  • Itunes, no more drag and drop?

    Is it me or is 11.0.1 is the worst itunes ever?  I can no longer drag and drop songs into playlists.  I also have a program called "tune up" and it does not let me drag songs into the application.  I was trying to add to a playlist and now playlists that had 100 songs now have a 1000. Any suggestions for a fix?  I wish I could revert back to the old itunes!

    You can drag and drop in to your existing playlists or create new ones.
    From your music library, select the album, or songs from an album, and drag the right side of the window. As you drag a side window appears allowing you to drop the file or album in to your playlist.
    Dropping the file into blank space will create a new playlist, once you release the click, you can edit the playlist's name which should already be highlighted.

  • Drag and drop Iphotos to Iphone wont work?

    before I reformatted my iphone, i synced all the pictures into Iphoto from it.
    Now, im trying to drag all those photos from Iphoto back onto my Iphone, but I'm getting an error saying "These files cannot be copied to Iphone because Iphone cannot play them." How is this possible?? Iphone TOOK the pictures and now they wont go back on?? They are just .jpg files.
    I was able to just drag and drop pics from Iphoto before...but not now. Any ideas what I can do??
    Thanks for your help everyone!!

    I'm not even sure that want you want to do is even possible.
    I don't see anything in the users guide or iphone website that mentions syncing individual photos.
    I just make an album/folder called iphone. any photos I add/remove for the album/folder are added/deleted when I sync iphone.

  • In iTunes, I cannot drag and drop music into my Ipod.

    Correction: I can drag and drop a music file, but then on the iPod, the music file shows up in gray, unplayable, and just doesn't end up transferring. I have dragged and dropped music files on two different computers, now it doesn't work on either one. Any ideas what might be wrong?

  • After iTunes Update, Cannot Drag and Drop Music into iTunes

    Any suggestions?
    Windows 7 SP1, x64
    iTunes... eh.. no idea what version.  I've looked for about a half hour and I couldn't find it.  Rather frustrating for a busy person like me to be dikin' around in iTunes looking for something simple like a version number.
    Also, the new layout is kind of nice, but in many ways wretched and tedious.  What I wouldn't give to just be able to drag and drop mp3s to my iPhone like my android friends can do.
    Grumble Grumble.

    Using iTunes 11.0.1.12
    Click on the box in the upper left corner, "Show Menu Bar," or press Ctrl+B.

    Shouldn't take a half hour to figure it out.

  • ITunes won't drag and drop - AGAIN!!

    I have the current iTunes on a MacBook Pro running the current OS
    On several occasions, and now it's happening again, iTunes will not allow me to drag even one, let alone a batch, of tracks within or to playlists.
    It's not because a column is sorted - checked that.
    Just using the trackpad or a mouse - neither works.
    One time an Apple person talked me through removing com.apple.itunes.plist from the Library and that solved the problem.  I have had to do this at least once more since, but it does not help this time.
    A great pain when I am using iTunes to present a playlist and I need to make changes on the fly.

    Lets run down a list of possibilities:
    1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
    2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
    3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
    4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

  • Desktop icons don't drag or drop

    Can't drag or drop my desktop icons.
    I have so far cleared cache, cleared cookies, removed 160 corrupt fonts, ran disk utility and all checked out okay.
    Help please.
    [email protected]

    OK I think I understand better what is happening and have a solution:
    Behaviour seems to be dependent on what View is used in the folder from which the file is being dragged from. If the files in the folder are displayed as icons, dragging them onto the desktop, they land at the mouse release position. If on the other hand the files in the folder are displayed in list view, then dragging results in the random placement behavior. In this second scenario, to get the file to land at the desired position, wait a second or two at the desired placement position before releasing the mouse button. The file object you are dragging should transform into an icon. Once this occurs the mouse button can be released and the file will be placed at the desired position.

  • Playback position on iPod not Syncing to iTunes. Nano 5, long mp3 files. I have remember playback position selected in Options, and that works fine. But position (45 minutes) on iPod and 2 minutes on iTunes do not get together

    Long audio files (mp3 books) on ipod nano 5 play fine,  Ipod remembers playback position (I set the flag in info-options) but after listeniong for a while on ipod, I expect that a sync to PC should update the playback position in iTunes.  Thus I should be able to subsequently sync a second device to iTunes and have the position passed along to the second device.  This is not working for me.  I have the latest nano software, and iTunes 11.1.2.32.  Have just re-installed iTunes per troubleshooting suggestioons on support web page.
    Is this a format problem (mp3 issue) or something else?

    Reply seems to be theway to elaborate on my origi;nal post.
    I have now tried turning off Manually manage music and video on the iPod.  One of the 3 long audio files (books as mp3) reloaded to the iPod when I made the chnge, but no loss in my case..  Playback position on iPod seemed to load into iTunes (looked good while iPod was connected in Playlists and Library/Music, but as soon as I disconnected the iPod the saved positions reverted to the old values.  One more theory shot down.  Since my goal is to keep several playback devices in step, I am back to jotting down the latest position and manually forward spacing the alternate device to pick up where I left off. 
    This seems so logical a use that I am baffled about why it is so hard (impossible?).

  • Drag and Drop stopped working in iTunes

    Just recently upgraded to latest iTunes 10.4, OS X 10.5.8 and Wacom driver 6.1.6-4. Drag and drop a selection to a playlist in iTunes no longer works. All was fine before iTunes/OS upgrade. Only upgraded Wacom to see if it made a difference which it didn't. Dragging and dropping with a USB mouse seems okay. I've noticed several similar problems on this board with no solution. Anyone else having this issue that has found a solution? Thanks.

    Your case sounds very similar to mine.  I a bit older Mac G5 running OS X 10.5.8.  When I upgraded to iTunes 10.4 I found the drag and drop gone and a few other inconsistencies.  I reloaded iTunes and now everything works pretty well, but if I go into the iTunes Store my drag and drop feature goes away.  If i relaunch iTunes it comes back until I go in the Store again.  Hoping someone more familiar with the OS and application details can point me in some direction.  Thx

  • An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method.  Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  My OS is Windows 7.

    I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop.  The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places.  I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer.  Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works.  I've tried both ways over and over.  Cannot figure out what the problem is.  I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all.  Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong?  My OS is Windows 7, using IE9.  Thanks.
    ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE:  I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes.  The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

    I don't have a Recently Added playlist.  However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes.  I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet.  Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there.  Thanks for your help.
