Can't drag and drop music to iphone5

I updated to the latest Itunes, plugged my new Iphone5 in and "restore from previous Iphone back up"  It did it fine, then i went to manage music manually and  checked the boxes for all the artists I wanted on my new phone. Sync it to my phone and all seemed ok.  Prior to this I downloaded 250 songs off the cloud so I had some music while I updated my computer so I could run Itunes for Iphone5.  When I sync everything it doubled up the 250 songs that were on there.  then some worked and some just skipped over and went to the next song.  I want to delete the doubles off my phone and re-enstall the music which i can't do from Itunes and when i do it from my phone its gone on the phone but still on the "on this phone" in itunes.  I can't drag and drop any music onto my phone and when i go to "music" on my phone from itunes it says i have to erase all content and sync with this computer.  this is the only computer and only account it has ever seen.

Tried that, I can get almost all my music except one album (the album I want).  I deleted it off my phone by swiping then hitting delete.  It does not show up on my phone but it does say that it is on my phone when i plug into itunes.  I can't drag and drop it, I checked the box for that album and it didn't transfer.  No idea what to do.  How can I even just use Itunes to delete music off my phone?  Used to be able to highlight and then right click and then delete, not anymore.

  • HT203128 I can't drag and drop music from iTunes 12 to iOS 8 iPhone 5s. How do I move music now?

    I connect the iPhone to itunes. that works. Everything shows up fine, but I can't drag and drop music from the 'music' section of iTunes 12 on my new mbp or my iMac. I used to be able to. Also, when I slide to delete songs on the iPhone, they still appear as 'ghosts' in the list on iTunes when the phone is connected - if I double click them, a exclamation mark in a circle comes up on the left of the track and it doesn't play. Can anyone help? Kind of need to get this sorted - it's bloody frustrating. I've restarted iPhone, iMac, MBP, downloaded the latest versions of iOS, OS X 10.10.3.

    you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

  • I recently installed iTunes 4.3 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore?

    I recently installed iTunes 4.3.5 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore. Every time I try to drag the music from a folder into the library, that little circle with the line thru it comes up (not allowed symbol). I've been using iTunes for years and am pretty computer savvy... I have no idea what the problem is. The only way I can add music right now is if I go to File>Add File to Library and that takes way too long, especially when adding 20-30 songs. I am using Windows 7 and I have an iPhone 4. Please help! This is extremely frustrating.

    No, sorry... you did not.  There is no iTunes 4.3.5.
    What did you actually install?  iOS 4.3.5 on your iPhone?  If so, this has NO affect on the ability to manually manage media via iTunes.
    Let's start over... tell us exactly what has been done.

  • Can't drag and drop music files

    after recent update i can't drag and drop mp3 files into library like before or go file->add file to library

    Thanks for the quick response Sebastian.
    Yeah, I know I can find the file in finder, but I used to be able to organize all my files in the iTunes interface and easily drag them to my project in AE CS3... so much more convenient.
    I tried .aif and .wav files, all formats that AE accepts. Like I mentioned, I used to do this with AE CS3 and my Windows OS... I was just wondering if this was a Mac bug or something. Not the end of the world, but it's little things like this I waste half a day on trying to figure out!! lol.

  • 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.

  • Can't drag and drop music onto iTunes...

    Hi guys,
    Ok I just recently bought my first mac, a MacBook Pro. Transferred all my files (most importantly my music) onto an external hard drive from my PC, then transferred files from the hard drive to the mac and it all seems to be fine. However for some reason I can't seem to get my songs into iTunes. I tried scan for media and that just pops up saying 'processing' for a second then nothing happens...then I tried simply dragging my whole music folder into iTunes, it looked like it was doing something, again said 'processing' but nothing happened. My music folder is pretty big at 42GB, could this be the problem? My iTunes is up to date I just don't understand, can anyone help?
    Thank you,
    Craig

    Hello!
    Check if you run iTunes in Administrator mode. For using drag and drop and miniplayer buttons in dock you need to uncheck "Run as an Administrator" in iTunes.exe file.
    Have a Luck!
    That is the true answer. I can't figure why the drag and drop feature is disabled when in admin mode, but I'm happy it works again. Thanks.

  • I can't drag and drop music from my library to my iphone 4s

    Did you check "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes before you tried to drag and drop?

  • I can't drag and drop music into playlists.

    I used to be able to drag music to and from my playlists and main music selection. Same goes for dragging music onto my desktop or anywhere else for that matter.
    I'v heard that it had something to do with Wacom tablets (Which I have), and was told to update Itunes and the tablet drivers to the newest versions, which I did, but nothing happened.
    I have Mac OS Lion, if that helps. At first I thought it was just a silly new update, but now I'm not so sure.
    Help?

    I'v found a quick 'fix' of sorts. If you hold down both the left and right click buttons (at the same time) when dragging, it works. It doesn't solve the problem really, but it gets around it.
    There was another thread about it, and they contacted both Apple and Wacom. Both said that they are working on a fix, but so far there has been none.

  • I can't drag and drop iTunes music to desktop

    I can't drag and drop music from iTunes to my desktop since Lion upgrade. I just bought the music last month so it isn't iTunes ACC protected. I want to edit the song in GarageBand also.
    Thanks

    I got my similar problem fixed (thank god)
    Hope this will help
    I tried totalfinder before i upgraded to lion and i guess i did not make a clean uninstal so i downloaded the total finder dmg file and used the uninstaler and that solved my problem
    The uninstaler did relaunch the finder wich could also been the fix
    So i suggest you try and relaunch your finder
    Here is how you relaunch your finder incase you dont know
    Click on the apple logo in the top left corner select Force Quit and then select finder in the fore quit menu and click relaunch

  • 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.

  • I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

    Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC  machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,

    I found an solution.
    Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

  • I cant "drag and drop" music onto my ipod anymore can i get help please???

    Hi,
    Since i have my ipod i have always dragged and dropped music from my itunes library onto my ipod but now every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want, but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod (such as the one that appears when on hold).
    Any help would be great, thank you

    "every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want"
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    "but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
