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/

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

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!

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?

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 seem to drag and drop music files from iTunes to AE CS4 on Mac Pro...

...any suggestions?

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.

Updating music files from itunes to ipod

hi,
i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
i'm using manually manage my files.
i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
is this meant to be?
do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
thanks for the help

OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
Let's start with that and go from there.

HT1766 If I have accidently deleted my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop, can I get them back from my iPad which was synced just before I deleted all the files?

I accidently deletes all my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop. Can I get them back using my iPad mini Retina that was synced just before I deleted the files? I am a bit old fashioned, so all of my music has been imported from my CD,s, not purchased from iTunes store. I could re-import, but almost 5,000 songs. Especially when they are sitting there on the iPad.

Yes, if they were purchased from iTunes. If they were CD's you copied to your iTunes library, then synced to your iPad, you may be forced to redownload the CDs again.
Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and with iTunes open wait for your iPad to recognized on the left side of the iTunes screen. Right click your iPad once and a dialog box will apear. Choose Transfer Purchases and the music apps, etc., you purchased will transfer to your iTunes library on your computer.

I can't sync music files from itunes to my iphone4s(ios6)?

i can not sync my musci files from itunes to my iphone4s.

Ragazzi anche io ho lo stesso problema.
Ho attivato l'iTunes Match, che funziona correttamente sul pc e sull'iPhone 4S.
L'ho attivato anche sul mio iPad, ma, tuttavia, dopo un breve periodo in cui ha funzionato correttamente, ha iniziato a dare problemi.
Vi descrivo di seguito ciò che ho rilevato:
- il periodo in cui l'iTunes Match ha funzionato correttamente sull'iPad è durato solo qualche settimana;
- in seguito, anche se tutti i brani della Cloud venivano visualizzati sull'iPad, dava problemi nel senso che i brani non venivano riprodotti e, inoltre, la durata veniva indicata in "zero" per tutti i brani, sicchè, cliccandoci, non venivano riprodotti;
- ho provato a disattivare e riattivare l'iTunes Match e, a questo punto il dispositivo ha dato il messaggio "tutta la tua libreria musicale verrà sostituita con quella su iTunes Match", mentre, nell'applicazione "MUSICA" erano spariti tutti i brani: veniva visualizzata, al centro della pagina, la nuovoletta del Cloud, con una barra di download sotto. Questo è durato per circa quattro giorni, senza che succedesse nulla, nel senso che la barra del download non mostrava segni di caricamento;
- allora ho provato a ripristanare le impostazioni e, a questo punto, erano visualizzati di nuovo i brani, ma comunque senza possibilità di riprodurli (la durata di nuovo indicata come "zero");
- nel momento in cui ho provato a cliccare su uno dei brani, è riapparsa la nuvoletta del Cloud con la barra di download sotto;
- quando i brani ricompaiono, hanno sempre durata zero e non vengono riprodotti;
- ho attivato anche la condivisione in famiglia ma il problema non cambia.
Vi preciso che il mio iPad è della prima generazione ed è aggiornato all'IOS 6.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

Issue to transfer music files from itunes to iPhone

hello
when I want to transfer a music file from itunes to the iphone. the iphone is visible but can not be selected to copy the file in there.
Worth noticing that similar transfer worked fine on a different MAC. In both cases, the option synchronised was not ticked
Any suggestion?

Don't tell me that we can only transfer music file from one unique itunes library??

HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders. I would really appreciate help!

Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

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.
