Can't drag/drop MP4 files in iTunes 10 - Movies

Recently I have installed the new iTunes 10. Now I am not able to drag and drop MP4 files to load videos in my iPod and iPhone. Earlier I used to drag & drop MP4 files and load my iPod. But with this new version in Windows 7 OS, I am not able to load videos. Became very frustrated. Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem! Is there anyone out there with an answer! I'm so extremely frustrated with this issue. I did everything that others have suggested on this community and others online. I used a converter (which doesn't even make any sense because I used to be able to drag/drop mp4 with ease without converting them before this stupid iOS5 and Itunes update). I renamed the file to m4v. There's tons of stuff I tried and still nothing. What frustrates me is that everyone is suggesting to convert and as I said I never used to do that with MP4's before. Why all of a sudden now?

  • Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

    Greetings!
    I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

    Are you using a Wacom tablet instead of a mouse?  If you are, read this http://accretiondisc.com/blog/2011/07/23/itunes-playlists-dragndrop-and-wacom-ta blets/

  • Cannot Drag & Drop Audio Files from iTunes into Project Timeline

    Hello,
    I have an iMovie (10.0.6) project open. I click the iTunes icon to fetch an audio track and it won't allow me to drag/drop it into the timeline. Yet it allows me to drag/drop other tracks from the same playlist (all from the same CD). All tracks are the same file type and about the same size/length, yet one of them (the one i want) cannot be dragged/dropped into the timeline. This happened with another iMovie project recently (different tracks from a different CD, but same idea: can't drag/drop one track, but i'm able to drag/drop others).
    Your help is appreciated!

    I've having the same issue. Very frustrating. FFS Apple!

  • Upgraded to 10.4.7, now can't drag & drop aiff files from a CD to my HD

    I work extensively with music [that's why I got a Mac]
    I could always just drag aiff files from a CD onto my HD
    to work on them before. Now, I get the "not permitted"
    circle when I try to do this... and it happens on CDs I recorded,
    as well as commercial Cds.
    What's going on? I have a work-around, but this shouldn't be
    happening! Drag & Drop has always been a Mac staple, now
    it doesn't work. I've checked the last 25 pages of posts and
    found no other complaint like mine.
    Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

    I just tried it, using a commercial audio CD. No problem copying AIFF file from the CD onto the Desktop, using either an admin account or a normal user account.
    If you're familiar with Terminal and Unix commands, you could take a look at /Volumes and see what the permissions are on the mounted audio CD. That might be where the problem lies, though I don't know what would cause it.

  • Can't drag/drop mp3's into iTunes

    Today I tried to drag a few mp3s from a folder on my computer into iTunes, but it won't work. I've tried other copying mp3's from different folders & drives on my computer but none will work. I have been using this method to import my music into iTunes for years, so I am completely baffled why it suddenly no longer works. Any advice would be appreciated.

    cgphoto2, I had the same issue today - and that is my preferred method of importing music into iTunes as well. I first noticed that I couldn't import artwork into mp3s, and then that I couldn't import individual mp3s into iTunes.
    The properties of the iTunes Music folder showed it was partially Read-only. I unchecked that box, but it didn't solve the issue. I then unchecked it for the iTunes folder itself, but no go. After rebooting, however, the problem has disappeared.
    In Windows 7, I believe, like in Vista, the iTunes library is located here:
    C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes
    If anyone tries this, remember to reboot.
    Note: incidentally, this comes the day after iTunes decided (after a two month hiatus) to allow me to update my hundreds of apps. The only other thing that happened in the interim was I installed AdAware.

  • I can't drag/drop files!! HELP :( :(

    I can't drag/drop files from one place to another, like across my desktop,i have to cut/copy paste them into another location.
    It randomly change as before i could drag/ drop files, etc

    OS X will move the file if you hold the command key while you drag and drop.
    What happens if duplicate files are found during the move drag and drop. If you release the command key to answer the dialog box that appears, the file will be copied but not moved. If you continue to hold the command key as you click the Replace button, the move action will be completed.
    To move files in Finder first press Command+C to copy the selected files, then press Command+Option+V to move the copied files to the current folder.

  • I can't import mp4 files onto itunes

    i tried several times to import my mp4 files onto itunes but failed everytime. how to overcome this?

    1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
    2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
    3) Select Properties
    4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
    5) Click Change
    6) Select ITunes
    7) Select Always for this type checkbox
    8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
    9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
    10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

  • Can't Drag in MIDI files from Finder

    HI,
    I can't drag in MIDI files from the Finder in GB. I used to be able to do this easily a month or so ago.
    HELP says that I am doing it correctly. Anyone else have this problem?

    Great suggestion. That worked great. Weird thing is that previous versions of GB allowed me to drag in the very same MIDI files w/o the QT round trip. Perhaps a different version of the OS or QT has changed this. Well, thanks for the help.

  • How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
