Can no longer drag MP3 from PC to iTunes on Mac

I've previously purchased/downloaded hundreds of songs in MP3 format on my PC and have not had a problem dragging them into iTunes over the network. Yesterday I upgraded Firefox to 3.0.1 on both computers and the songs I subsequently downloaded will not drag into iTunes. Actually a couple will. I don't see any difference in the information listed for any of the tracks that is different than those previous. If I try to import them from the "file" drop-down menu in iTunes I am told I "do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I'm using iTunes 7.6.2.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Gary

On PC, I dragged an offending folder into a folder that could, and still can be, dragged across the network on Mac. Did so, and it worked. "Pushing" from the PC also worked. So I've got the tunes across.
However, I'd still like to know why I don't have sufficient privileges to execute the task as I have previously. I'm logged in as Admin. on both. One thing I have noticed though, when I click on the PC in the finder I'm connected as "Guest." When clicking on "Connect as" checking "Registered User" and entering my name and password I'm still connected as "Guest." Maybe if I could connect as "Reg. User" I may have sufficient privileges. Nevertheless, I was connected as guest when it used to work.
Maybe I should address this ultimately in a networking forum.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion that worked.

  • I can no longer drag music from my computer into iTunes.

    I updated iTunes to the most recent download and installed the newest update on my iPhone 4. Now I can no longer drag music from my PC into iTunes. Not even into a new playlist. None of my settings changed. Please help.

    Try
    - Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

  • IPhoto - Can no longer drag photos from Library to created Albums..

    Up until last week I had no problem dragging photos from my Library to Albums I'd created on the right side. All of a sudden I can no longer drag photos and have to put photos in Albums by clicking on desired photos and creating Album with + button on bottom right corner. Why doesn't it let me drag photos anymore??

    HI gkkennedy and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    I can't tell you why this is happening but I can offer up a possible solution. Sometimes the preference folders associated with applications become corrupted. Here's how to fix that. Locate this file and drag it to the Trash: com.apple.iPhoto.plist It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder and drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch iPhoto and see if you can drag photos from the Library to an album ... Don't worry... your Mac will create a new preference file for you.

  • TS1398 I can no longer transfer  photos from i photo on my mac to my i pad via iCloud. According to i photo the photos are on i cloud. There is plenty of storage space  available. This happened after installing a new wi fi printer

    I can no longer transfer photos from my mac to my i pad via i cloud
    Accordong to i photo on my mac the photos are in i cloud
    There is plenty of storage available
    Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

    There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

  • After installing iTunes 10.5.1, I can no longer drag and drop files into iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Basically when I try to drag files from a folder into iTunes, (drag and drop within iTunes is fine) the little picture of the circle with a slash through it shows up and wont allow me to drop it into iTunes. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Thanks. I'm so frustrated I'm about to smash my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting my computer, everything I can think of.

    just want to add my annoyance to the pile here. I can't see any logic behind removing the drag and drop function, especially when adding a new folder is now a multi-step process that is far from obvious. to start a new playlist with local folder content you now need to:enter settingsclick into advanced settings (basically all settings now seem to be "advanced"?)manually find and add the foldergo through the adventure of finding the files in your library.
    -- because they may or may not be listed under "local files" - you won't know because Ctrl+F is also removed. so you have to remember/know what the album you added is called and search for that. if you have a mixed bag of file names from various albums, you're basically shafted; there's no way to find them all with a single search.then you can add them to playlisteta: but wait! there's more! if you have more than 15 files? you're **bleep** out of luck, because the search will only display the first 15 hits among your local files, and then show you spotify library tracks.I can't help but feel as though spotify is doing everything they can to stop us using spotify to listen to local files, as bugs that make it more or less impossible persist through multiple versions - and now features that seem to me to be basic functionality are being removed?mega minus points from someone who's been using spotify since 2008.

  • I can no longer drag and drop anything in iTunes.

    Last week, for no apparent reason, I stopped being able to drag and drop songs in my playlists or reorder my app in itunes.  I upgraded to itunes 11 to see if that helps but the problem persists.

    Thanks, Steve.
    As you found, when I showed the sidebar copy and paste started working. Why?  I don't know, but it was progress.
    However, drag and drop from the library to a playlist, from a playlist to a playlist or even within a playlist simply does not work.
    I spent a long time talking to Apple people, eventually going to a supervisor.  However, we had no success after trying a number of things.
    They have sent a ticket to Apple engineers.  I look forward to hearing from them.

  • On both my iPad and iPhone 5 I can no longer play music from my synched iTunes selections from my Mac mini because when I select a playlist it will only play afew songs and then quit the playlist, skipping around a lot.

    What is wrong?

    This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
    Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app.

  • Why can't I drag images from Finder to Design View Dreamweaver CC?

    Hey Guys,
    I'm using OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Adobe DW CC
    For some reason in both CC and CS6 I can no-longer drag files from Finder (Mac OS X's Explorer) into the design view ( for eg: adding images to a table cell ), the browse button doesn't work properly either... The "browse for file" button only works if there is an image already there and then it will update the image, otherwise if there's no image in the table cell it will bring up the browse dialogue box but does nothing if I select a file and press "open".
    Is there a setting that was introduced in CS 6 that affects this behavior?

    Hi All,
    This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
    Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
    We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • Can No Longer Drag JPG files From Finder Directly Into .fla Stage?

    For the past six months I have been following a manual process to convert JPG files (exported from InDesign) into SWF files for display advertising assets. 
    Using pre-built FLA files as templates (configured with clicktags):
    Open FLA templates (3 separate files for 3 IAB ad sizes)
    Drag JPG from Finder directly into stage of FLA file, aligned to
    Publish to output folder for renaming
    Today, for no apparent reason, I can no longer drag anything into the stage of any FLA file.  Not just the pre-built templates.  Nothing will drag & drop into an FLA stage. 
    What I have tried:
    Restarted Mac
    Reset Flash preferences
    What I know I can still do:
    Drag files from Finder into the Library, and drag into FLA stage from there
    "File > Import to Stage..."
    This works but because of my naming convention it prompts to import them all each time because Flash sees the sequence
    This is not another step I am willing to contend with for my manual workflow
    Me and my creative team need to process hundreds of assets like this each week, so I'm very anxious to discover why functionality that was working, suddenly stopped.
    Running:
    MacBookPro Retina OS X 10.8.5
    Flash CS6 v. 12.0.2.529

    After updating Firefox 19.0.2 to my iMac Desktop 10.8.2, Lion, I can no longer drag or cut and paste anything to anywhere, anymore. Please help. Thanks!

    Does this also happen if you try to copy/cut and paste text in a text area like "Post a Reply" on this forum?

  • As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

    As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem.  I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple.  Help, if possible, please.

    As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info.  Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song.  No Audio CD it seems to function OK.  The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

    I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc.  It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit.  Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info.  Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD.  On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up.  The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference.  In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data.  I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
    Any Thoughts?

    This may help.  Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder.  These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation.  Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
    Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have.  What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive)  Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
    Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3  As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck.  And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck.  I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
    So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier.  Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
    Hope this helps ~rich

  • Can no longer drag and drop anything

    I've been searching the forums for an answer, but can't seem to find this topic. I can no longer drag and drop anything in the finder. I first noticed this when trying to drag and drop songs in iTunes to a playlist -- nothing would "drop."
    Now I've noticed that I can't drag and drop anything anywhere. No files will drop to software, I can't drag files from one folder to another, nor can I drop files to a different hard drive.
    This was all working fine yesterday, and I haven't made any changes to my system in the interim. All I've done is restart after discovering the problem, but that didn't fix anything.
    Any ideas?

    Where have you looked? What did you use? Double-click on the boot volume's Desktop icon, CMD+J, select list view, click on Users triangle, then your username's triangle, then its Library triangle, then its Preferences triangle. In that folder is com.apple.finder.plist. It exists for all user accounts. Without it, your machine won't work.
