Can't drag apps in iTunes 11

I have always organized my apps in iTunes and then sync to my devices. I wanted to rearrange my apps, and lo and behold, they aren't dragging. I haven't tried it since i had iTunes 11, so that's what I'm thinking is the problem. I can't organize on my iPad as easily, but I do know that option. I want to know if anyone else can't drag, and if so, what's the problem? (I can drag just fine to manually manage my music and video, and I do understand that you have to sync apps, but I'm talking about being able to organize within iTunes before syncing, like I always have)

It turned out my external hard drive that I had my iTunes on was formatted in a way that doesn't work with iTunes correctly.  iTunes let me use it, and for some reason it worked but with wierd problems like dragging, etc. If you are using an external hard drive, try moving your files off it temporarily onto another hard drive, and then reformat your hard drive. I reformatted to Mac OS Journalled Case Sensitive. I moved my files back. I had to wipe everything off my iTunes and drag all the files back in though, so to make sure. (There might be a better way than what I did for that last step, but my method does work). I solved my own problem, but lol, I doubt that will give me any level points, ha ha. I am leaving this here though, because in all the research I did, no one even mentions this as a possible problem.

  • No app store present on iPod Touch 4th gen and can't sync apps in iTunes, tried restoring/updating

    I've tried everything I know to fix this problem with no luck so far, I'm hoping someone can help. Note that iTunes has been updated to the latest version (and my friend's computer is running Windows 7, if that helps at all).
    My friend has an iPod Touch 4th generation. A while back he asked me to help him get apps onto the iPod, and I discovered that the App Store on the iPod itself was nowhere to be found, nor can he remember ever having one. In addition to this, he can't sync apps onto the iPod from within iTunes - the option to sync in the apps tab is greyed out. The music/movies/etc. sync just fine, however. At the time, his iPod had iOS 4.1.
    After checking for parental restrictions in his iTunes and the iPod, I found that his iPod has a restrictions password set, which he doesn't know. His parents have no memory of setting restrictions and don't know the password, either.
    I read online that the only way to remove the restrictions password is to restore the iPod, and since this seemed to be a good idea anyway due to the odd issue with iTunes refusing to sync apps, we restored the iPod and updated to iOS 5.1 today. Unfortunately, the App Store is still nowhere to be found, and we still can't sync apps in iTunes. The iPod still claims a restrictions password has been set as well.
    I have checked and double-checked that no restrictions are set in iTunes preferences. My friend created a new iTunes account, so that shouldn't be the problem. While we're hoping to get both iTunes sync and the iPod App Store app working properly, right now he just wants to be able to get apps onto his iPod.
    Does anyone have any ideas why his iPod didn't come with an App Store app, why it still doesn't have the Store after restoring, why iTunes won't sync apps, or why the restrictions password is still set after the restore? I've honestly run out of ideas as to how to fix this.
    Before I posted this, I did a little more looking online about the restrictions password, which is apparently restored along with a backup. Neither of us were present during the restore (we had to leave for a couple of hours after the restore had been started), so I'm only asking this because I don't have his iPod or computer with me at the moment to test it myself - is there a way to manually cancel restoring from a backup during the process? If so, I need to restore the iPod a second time.
    In the meantime, any ideas about my other three questions?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Edit: His iTunes account is authorized, by the way.

    What exactly happmens when you try? Error message?

  • Can i  access apps from itunes on my pc

    can i  access apps from itunes on my pc?
    I want to download my apps to my pc so I can clear some space on my iphone 4.
    Then I can use the space for other things e.g music.
    However at a later date I would like to access these apps and the data they have stored using my PC
    Is this possible?
    Or is this just another Mac problem?

    Most apps will store their data locally on the device. This can be restored from a backup when restoring the device, but if you remove the app any data associated with it is removed, and then subsequently purged from the device's rolling backup set on the next backup. If the app supports iTunes File Sharing you may be able to export its data to your computer, then reimport at a later date when you add the app back to your device.

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

  • 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,
    Larry

    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.

  • Can't drag songs from itunes onto anything (desktop, flash drive, etc.)

    This is weird.
    All of a sudden, I can't drag songs from itunes onto the desktop, any folder on my hard drive, my flash drive, or my spare hard drive. On a health computer, if you drag a large number of files, first they land as white icons and they fill in as they get transferred. With my computer, the white icons stick around for a few second and then disappear. The first time I try, I can transfer 1-10 files successfully. After that it stops working. Here is what I've done.
    1] Upgraded my system from 10.3.X to 10.4.5
    2] I upgraded itunes from 7.0 to 7.3.1
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Since I can not edit my own post I'll have to reply to myself... Sorry for the "spam" on the forums.
    I DID find something out (while playing with this some more)...
    Try and copy as many songs as you can with UNIQUE titles. I've noticed that when you drag the songs in iTunes to the desktop (or a folder) the file it creates/copies is named like so: "songtitle.mp3."
    Apparently the Finder and iTunes don't play well together [enough] to prevent several files of the same name from appearing - in most OS's I've played with (Linux and Windows, in addition to other Apple & Mac OS's over the years) there's a mechanism for handling this... Windows just adds a number to the end the of the second (and all future occurring) file(s) of the same name - as does most Linux builds I've used... Apparently the Finder in OS X just doesn't do anything - at all - when it discovers this "name error."
    What I had to do (I was copying my Christmas music - do you know how many "Jingle Bells.mp3" files you can have?!) was make many folders or manually rename EACH FILE one by one so that others could be copied in the same place since the file name would always be JUST THE SONG NAME and the extension (and I do tend to keep my files in higher bitrate MP3 format for easier shuffling from OS to OS as I tend to use (in case you've not noticed) many different ones at any given time).
    So, try avoiding any songs with the same title (or altering the title in iTunes somehow), or make separate folders to keep the same song name files from being created in the same place; and see if that doesn't clear this problem up for you - it did for me. ^_^
    And sorry for being so "wordy" on this post. ^_^;

  • How can I transfer apps from iTunes library from one computer to another?

    I have been unsuccessful in transferring my music over to my new MacBook from my PC Windows Vista. I even subscribed to MobileMe, but it wouldn't work! So, I have decided to take the time to copy all my music to CDs & do it that way, but how am I going to transfer my apps? If I sync my iPhone with my iTunes library on my MacBook once I have transferred the songs, won't the apps be erased on my phone? Is there a way using MobileMe I could do so? Please please please help.

    Do you have access to an external hard drive that you were using for your computer's backup with your PC which has enough storage capacity for your entire iTunes library?
    If so, using the external hard drive would be a good way to do this. You would transfer your iTunes named folder in your My Music folder on your PC followed by transferring the iTunes named folder from the external hard drive to the Music folder on your Mac - with iTunes quit when doing so. This will transfer all music, videos, 3rd party apps, playlists, etc. from your PC to your Mac.
    If most of your iTunes library includes music purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If all 3rd party apps do not transfer from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your Mac, you can re-download purchased apps with iTunes on your MacBook and you won't be charged again as long as you use the same iTunes account that was used to purchase the 3rd party apps.

  • Can't See Apps in Itunes Library

    This has to be an easy fix, but I can't figure it out.
    My computer crashed over the weekend. Everything is rebuilt, but I can't see my iphone apps in the itunes. I looked in the directory and they're all there, but they just won't display in the library.
    I've tried reinstalling itunes without luck. Hope someone has a Plan B...
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try re-creating the iTunes library as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    If the issue persists after re-creating the iTunes library, you may have to download the apps again. iTunes will let you download the apps again at no additional charge.

  • Can't drag files from itunes library (to anywhere) anymore.

    Recently I've noticed I can no longer drag files from the library in my itunes. I can't drag them to playlists, and I can't drag them to the desktop.
    I have repaired permissions and even tried removing the library.xml file and let it generate a new one, but I still get the same result.
    I am on a mac os 10.6.8 Macbook Pro.
    I'm not sure when ths started happening, but I wonder if it has something to do with an itunes update. I have the newest version and always dwnload the updates. I can still add files to the library by control-clicking the files and selecting the option in the dropdown list. This isn't an intentional change in the way the program works is it? Is no one else having this problem??

    Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
    Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

  • Can't drag files from itunes to the desktop or finder.

    I used to be able to do this but have't been able to recently. Please someone else tell me if this is a change that has been made to itunes in general or if there is something wrong with my particular itunes:
    I tunes wont let me drag files anymore. I can't drag to playlists. I can't drag to the finder or desktop. The only way around this is to right click or control-click and show each individual file in the finder and drag from there. Which is very annoying when I try to move many files at once.
    The files are not copy protected and I have permissions open on the folders I am dragging to.
    I use itunes version 10.5.2
    mac os 10.6.8 on a powerbook 2.4 ghz intel core duo

    Someone? Please?? Is it possible that I am the only one who noticed this!?!?

  • Can't drag files into itunes from computer folder.

    Im running windows 7 64bit, with the newest version of itunes:10.2.2.14.  I can't drag files from my "music folder" which is in my documents into itunes anymore.  I used to be able to do this with my old computer running windows 7 32bit, and even on windows vista, but it doesn't seem to work for me now. is there a setting that i can change? or mess around with something to fix this problem?

    Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
    Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
    I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to?

  • I have a 4g touch. I updated ibook in itunes and now, every time I sync, I get the message that the app won't run in os6. Is there any way I can revert the app in itunes so I have the latest version that will work with OS6?

    I recently updated ibook in my Itunes.  Now, every time I sync, I get the message that it won't update the ipod as ibook won't run in OS6. Is there any way I can revert the ibook app in itunes so it quits trying to install the current ibook app. I am trying to stop getting the warning message. I am also concerned if I ever have to reinstall the app.

    Delete the app from the iTunes library on your computer and then transfer the version from iPod to computer by:
