Can't drag MP4 into Library?

I'm using WinXP and iTunes 7. I had already drug an MP4 named untitled.mp4 into iTunes library then drug it onto my video iPod. That worked fine. I know have a movie named movie1.mp4 that I drag onto iTunes. Nothing happens. I delete untitled.mp4 and see it reappear after dragging movie1.mp4. movie1.mp4 is not there.
I've closed/reopened iTunes. There seems to be some caching issue. Can some one help?
Thanks,
Brett

I found the problem. My mistake - this was actually just confusion on the file names.

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!

Can't Drag Photos Into Email

I have '09 and use Entourage as my email client. For some reason when I updated to '09 I can't drag photos into an open email.
Not sure if it's an issue with Entourage or iPhoto, but it did work fine prior to my upgrading.
Any suggestions??
Also, aside from beginning an email from iPhoto what is the best way to add pictures to an existing (fwd.) or new email not originated from iPhoto??
Much thanks in advance.

Any of the Following:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Can't drag ringtone into sidebar

Hi all,
Following previous advice on this column I have created a ringtone (.m4r file) but can't drag it into the ringtone sidebar in itunes. As a consequence, can't use it on iphone! Please help!

Try this: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. From the Preferences folder, drag this file
com.apple.iTunes.plist to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your iTunes preferences but since you can't select ring tones in the pref pane, it might be the only solution. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you the next time you launch iTunes.

I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? Will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook. Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files.
If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

Copy and paste works. But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image. But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.

Can't drag files into the queue window on some computers

For some reason, on my new desktop and my laptop. I cannot drag files into the Queue window in Media encoder. I have tried dragging avi's, wav, and mp4. As the files I am dragging hover over the queue window, my mouse turns into the "circle with a line through it" pointer and I cannot add the files that way. I can click the plus sign and then browse to its location to add. I just want to have my drag n drop feature working again... Any ideas why i can on some computers and not others?
I did try running media encoder as administrator. All my computers are running windows 8.1.

do you have source patching turned on for audio?

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 get books into Library

Hi! Thank you Advance for your help with this.
Just downloaded from internet using Mozilla Firefox a couple books onto my MAC, told it to go to Adobe Digital additions. I can go to add the books using ADE and find them but they are greyed out and do not give me the option to ADD neither from Thumbnail or from Annotations. Tried to drag them into the Library also, and it will not let me do that either.
I have been reading through this forum, tried some of the suggestions, but they did not work for me. I tried the one about having ABE in Libray Mode when downloading, still does not work.
I can open the books in ADE by clicking on it in Downloads, but just not in the library. Library is just empty.
Thank You Again!

Cleves,
I have as one of my issues the same one as yours. Can see, but can not add a book to the library either by the add a book or double clicking on a acsm file from overdrive book checkout, although mine is not greyed out, it just won't load into the library. Don't know if this relates to you or not, but It might.
I posted the below in an earlier post here and got no response, so I then emailed my library for assistance who forwarded to overdrive. I am posting here the response from overdrive. FYI: I can get it to work by creating the new account, but I don't want to have to log out and log in another account just to read a book. I feel that Adobe or overdrive or whoever is responsible for account issues should be able to resolve the account issue on my main account login. Adobe won't talk to you without putting up some money first though and who knows if it will get resolved.
Here is the information that was provided:
Brief Description/problem area: does not apply
Detailed Description: Mac OSX 10.6.7 Current version of ADE I must
have a local issue on my iMac, because I don't have this problem on
my laptop with the same settings and account information. I check
out an epub book from my library via Over Drive, get the acsm
file. Double click on it. ADE opens, but no book ever appears in
the library screen. Every time I attempt it I get another incident
of a task in the task folder. All previous books, have been
returned. I did have one task that kept popping up on a previous
book that I had already downloaded successfully, telling me that it
still needed to complete. And everytime that I tried to follow the
process, it failed. I finally found the task folder and deleted
that task and it never returned. I was able to download one further
book after that and then no more. I don't get an error, just no
response to the download request other than opening ADE. I followed
the lame instructions on Over Drive to clear my browser cache, also
to no avail. Also copying the epub from my laptop to the iMac and
double clicking on it doesn't resolve the probelm either. Today I
tried the delete and reinstall of ADE routine to no avail. Not sure
what other information I can provide. Can anyone assist me on this?
Thank you.
Hi ..we forwarded your problem to the OverDrive support team and their reply is below:
From the information provided, it appears that Adobe Digital Editions opens
when you click the .ACSM file but it only display the main window and does not
begin downloading your title.
In previous cases where this problem has occurred on Mac computers, there was
an issue with the 'user account' on the Mac OS itself. If you have another
'user account' on your Mac, we would like to have you attempt to download your
titles under that account.
If you do not have another 'user account', please create another one by going
to 'Apple | System Preferences | User Accounts'. You may also follow the steps
at the Apple support link below for creating another user account. Please be
sure that you create an account with 'Administrator' privileges.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Once you have created another account, please use this account to download
Adobe eBook titles from your library. Please note, you will need to authorize
Adobe Digital Editions with an Adobe ID under the new Mac user account. You
should be able to use the same Adobe ID that was used to authorize Adobe
Digital Editions previously.
