Can not drag songs into new playlist

itunes issue, Unable to drag songs into new playlist folder.
New itunes 10.4
has not worked since I installed Lion
Macpro 2.66 GHZ Quad-Core xeon

Probably something very simple and might be quicker answered if posted in one of the iTunes forums?

  • Can't drag songs into a playlist

    Hey folks,
    I'm having trouble creating playlists and adding songs to playlists.  I've done this before (last year) but tonight I can't drag a song from iTunes store into an existing playlist and when I create a new playlist, it doesn't show up on the right hand side of the window just on the lefthand side.  I can drag songs from an existing playlist into a new playlist, but I've had no luck with new songs.  I just downloaded the latest iTunes version.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    just a thought but make sure when you make a new playlist its not a "smart" playlist.

  • Yet another person who can't drag songs into a playlist

    I am following the directions to burn a CD. 1. Select new playlist; 2. Name the playlist; 3. Open the music icon; 4. Drag the songs to the new playlist.
    When I drag them to the new playlist (it is marked with a music note icon with a blue background) I get a number telling the amount of songs in the list and a circle with a slash though it, I assume meaning "no" since it doesn't work. I've read everything I can find on this and I feel like I must be missing something simple. Please help! Thanks!

  • Can't drag songs to new playlist

    I have created several playlists in the past, but now it will not allow me to drag songs to a new playlist folder. I have illiminated the possibility that I might have too many playlists by simply deleting a few, and then trying again but to no avail. Here are the things I have done to try to remedy the problem:
    1. I have backed out of itunes and restarted it, twice
    2. I unplugged my itouch and plugged it back in
    3. Ran a diagnostic on the sync between itunes and itouch
    4. I made sure my itunes was up to date
    5. Deleted a few older playlists in case there wasn't any room (which I doubt)
    Has anyone had this problem before? When I drag a song to my new playlist, the circle with the line through it sits over the song, this just shouldn't be happening. Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Thank you for the clarification.
    Does this new playlist have a gear icon with a purple background or just a musical note on a blue background? If it is a gear icon, this is a smart playlist and you cannot drag songs to this kind of playlist.
    When you right->click on a track and choose *Add to Playlist* does the playlist you want to drag it to show up as one of the options?

  • Can't drag songs into new folders in itunes

    That's what Help says to do, but it do3sn't happen. Latest iTunes, 10.8

    "when I try to go directly to the new ipod's playlist, everything's greyed out. It's there, but greyed out"
    Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to update automatically (sync). If you want to access the iPod directly, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos. If you want to manage it manually then connect your iPod and click on the iPod icon in the iTunes source list to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. In the Summary tab check the box "manually manage music and videos" and click Apply:
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods:: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • ITunes 10.4 can't drag songs into playlists

    There is one glaring difference in the new iTunes 10.4 (80). I can't drag songs from one playlist to another. It doesn't matter whether the source is a smart playlist or a regular dumb one, or even the main music library.
    smart playlist or dumb playlist or even the main music library) into other (dumb) playlist.
    As a workaround, I can copy (cmd-c) and paste (cmd-v), but this is ... umm ... sub-optimal, because you have to change playlists to do it. Then when you go back to the first folder, any search you might have used before is now gone.
    Is there any way to bring back drag and drop? Some weird .plist hack or anything?

    Well. My first efforts to search for a solution were poorly executed, because I tried again and found lots of answers.
    The problem appears to be using a Wacom driver. See the discussion here and (same thread) here and here. No idea when that will be fixed. I use a 8 or 9 year old Graphire, and drivers have been a problem for most of those. Sigh.
    But this experience also made me learn that you can right click to add selections to a playlist.
    I even learned how that first column works, which I never knew before.

  • Can't drag songs into playlists or move in playlists easily

    I have upgraded to Lion and the latest iTunes and now I am finding it VERY hard to move tracks in the program. For example, dragging a track from the library into an existing playlist is **** near impossible. And when I FINALLY get it in there it is ABSOLUTELY near impossible to move it’s position up or down on the playlist. What gives? Any ideas?

    Before anyone suggests the following I have tried this already:
    •restarted itunes
    •restarted mac
    •made sure shuffle is turned off
    •made sure the playlist order is selected
    Also, it is NOT a smart playlist. I know you can’t drag tracks into smart playlists.
    Thanks in advance!

  • I can no longer drag songs into my playlists.

    I can no longer drag songs into my playlists. I drag them over and nothing happens.

    I have restarted several times and I still can't drag and drop. My only option is to control click and then it gives me a drop down menu of options including putting into a playlist. I think this alternative *****! Drag and drop was a whole lot easier

  • Can't drag songs into playlist

    I can't drag songs from my library into one of my playlists. Other playlists are fine - it is just the one that won't take songs. Is there a limit for the number of songs in a playlist?

    What sort of playlist is it? If it's a smart playlist then it gets it's content from the rules that have been set for it, for example recently added. You won't be able to drag to a playlist like this just a normal one. The icon for an normal playlist that you can drag to will have a musical note on it, a smart playlist has an icon that looks like a little gear wheel.

  • Can't drag songs into iTunes 8

    I've been recording LPs (with Audacity) and converting them to CDs by burning the playlists in iTunes for years. I hadn't done it for a couple of months, and in the meantime iTunes was upgraded from version 7 to version 8. My procedure is this: I recorded in Audacity, split and name the tracks with the song names and export them as aiff files at 41.000kHz 16 bit. I then drag them into a playlist in iTunes from the finder and burn the CD. Now I cannot drag the songs into iTunes at all. I've tried using the command Add to Library, and that doesn't work either. I've checked that the songs are not locked, and I've looked at the Import settings in the preferences and set the encoder for AIFF. What's wrong here? Has Apple locked out users who want to do this?
    thanks,
    Jack

    Funny how we´re doing and experiencing the same, although maybe not for the same reasons... I have been converting my old LPs to CD with Audacity on a WinXP box, soon gave up because of the flabbergasting speed of it (not audacity, the box...). Begin last month almost transformed the monitor into the flattest screen on earth; fortunately not, as I still needed it to order my first Mac, 5 minutes later.
    I believe Apple wants us to drag and drop the AIFFs into the *Burn Folder* straight in the Finder now (right under Documents), which carries a convenient <Burn> button (top right) to burn everything in there on a CD. It works for me anyway, that´s how I´m doing since last week. Took me some time to find out though, grant you that!

  • Can't import songs into itunes playlist folders from itunes music folder

    Ive got to be an idiot. ive had my ipod for years and ive yet to figure this out:
    how do i put music into my playlist folders? The only playlists ive been able to successfully create and use are the ones ON my ipod. but that requires me to plug in my ipod every time i want to hear music at home.
    I've created the playlist folders. They are blue folders, found under the playlists tab on itunes. I select music from the music sections, and drag to the folder, but all i ever get is the Circle and line "No" symbol, i never get a plus sign. Ive ever tried popping the playlist folder into a new window and dragging from one window to the other, and its doesn't work. its there some ridiculous safety feature of iTunes that i need to turn off to make playlists or? I can't imagine that something would be this confusing, but i just don't get it.

    Welcome to AD!
    Sounds like you are trying to drag single music files into a playlist folder.
    You can only drag a pre-existing playlist into a playlist folder.

  • Can't drag songs into playlists

    I've been trying to create new playlists...and it won't let me! I click on the song, then try to drag it to the new playlist...it won't move. It used to work, what happened?!

    Are you sure it's not a "Smart" Playlist that you've created?
    Otherwise ... I'm not sure what the problem might be.
    You may consider deleting iTunes and reinstalling it. Make sure you back up your two data files.
    This would probably fix the problem.
    Good luck!

  • Can't drag songs to new nano

    This is the second nano in the house. The first gets along great with the computer. We registered the second one and charged it. It synced all the songs from the library and we can play them on the ipod, but on Itunes the songs are not typed in black - they are that muted gray color and we can't access them. We can't drag to any to the new nano, click on the Itunes songs etc from the new nano, btu from the old one it's fine. Any advice? Thank you!!

    The second Nano is set to Sync, not manually manage. When you plug the Nano in, on the Summary page in iTunes, you need to check the box next to "Manually manage music and videos".
    Best of luck.
