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 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.

ITunes 10.4 can't drag songs into playlists

There is one glaring difference in the new iTunes 10.4 (80). I can't drag songs from one playlist to another. It doesn't matter whether the source is a smart playlist or a regular dumb one, or even the main music library.
smart playlist or dumb playlist or even the main music library) into other (dumb) playlist.
As a workaround, I can copy (cmd-c) and paste (cmd-v), but this is ... umm ... sub-optimal, because you have to change playlists to do it. Then when you go back to the first folder, any search you might have used before is now gone.
Is there any way to bring back drag and drop? Some weird .plist hack or anything?

Well. My first efforts to search for a solution were poorly executed, because I tried again and found lots of answers.
The problem appears to be using a Wacom driver. See the discussion here and (same thread) here and here. No idea when that will be fixed. I use a 8 or 9 year old Graphire, and drivers have been a problem for most of those. Sigh.
But this experience also made me learn that you can right click to add selections to a playlist.
I even learned how that first column works, which I never knew before.

Can't move songs within playlist?

I am running 7.6.1.9 itunes and can no longer move songs within my play lists.
I used to be able to click and drag them around to change their order within the playlist.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Make sure the playlist is not set to Shuffle
Select the very first column header before the track names.

When I download music into Itunes and move songs into playlists, Itunes has twice randomly deleted all recently added songs from the playlists they have been added to. It is driving me crazy. Has anyone else had this problem?

When I download music into Itunes on my PC, every song is transferred into a specific playlist. Twice now when I have opened up Itunes, all the recent songs that have been moved into playlists have been deleted by Itunes. I now have to go back and figure out which songs are missing and re-add them. It is driving me crazy. I have 10,000 songs and now have no idea which ones are missing and which ones have been retained.
Please help. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi TRuss08,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like songs are missing from iTunes on your PC, and need to be re-added. I know that can be a frustrating situation.
The tips in this article may help the process go a little smoother:

CAN'T MOVE SONGS IN PLAYLIST

I create a playlist with songs from my library and then try to drag the songs within the playlist to make a different order and they wont change position from how they were originally dragged in. is there a setting i need to check or uncheck to fix this so i can arrange my songs the way i want them within the created playlist?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions, Terry!
Assuming that we're talking about a Playlist (as opposed to a Smart Playlist), just make sure it's sorted by the left-most column in the Playlist display.
You can sort the playlist in different ways by clicking on the various column headings at the top of the display, but only when you've selected the column with the numbers on the left-hand side will you be able to rearrange the songs.
If this doesn't solve your problem, post back.

Can't Move songs between playlists

Can't drag songs into playlists

I've been trying to create new playlists...and it won't let me! I click on the song, then try to drag it to the new playlist...it won't move. It used to work, what happened?!

Are you sure it's not a "Smart" Playlist that you've created?
Otherwise ... I'm not sure what the problem might be.
You may consider deleting iTunes and reinstalling it. Make sure you back up your two data files.
This would probably fix the problem.
Good luck!

Can't move Mp3 into Playlist

I have some old cassettes tapes that I was able to record to my Mac as an Mp3 and are sitting on my desktop. I want to import them into Itunes so I can put them on my shuffle or make an audio CD but when I go to File>Add to Library - and select the Mp3, nothing happens. Under Preferences in Itunes, the advanced tab, I have the top two boxes checked, "Keep files organized" and "Copy files to media folder" but I can't find the music in any playlist or folder on Itunes. What am I missing or is there some other way I can make an audio CD?

Can't pull songs into Playlist

I've watched the tutorial, but I just can't seem to pull the songs over.

You might want to post this in the iPod shuffle forum.

Suddenly can't move songs in itunes playlists

I've been using iTunes ever since it came out and I use it all the time. Suddenly today I can't move songs around in my playlists. I tried making a new playlist and moving songs from the library into it and even that doesn't work (I can't actually move a song from my music library into any playlist any more)
I've checked through all the other threads where people have had this problem and done everything suggested but nothing is working.
I do have the playlist number arrow highlighted
I do have manual ordering turned on in the view options
I've logged out and restarted several times
I have shuffle turned off
The only possible thing I can think of is that I got an invitation to upgrade to iTunes 11.4 which I said I would download, but although I've been taken into the app store, nothing is showing. Could it be something to do with iTunes 11.4 or the app store?

Ahhh!!! I closed down for a few hours and now it's working fine!

I can't drag my songs into playlists, or arrange them on a playlist. What's wrong?

I can't drag my songs into playlists, or arrange them on a playlist. What's wrong?

I have about 50 playlists that I created as playlists and have always been able to add songs to as I purchased them. The lists were originally created as regular playlists. Then, one day I opened up iTunes and all the existing playlists I had created as playlists, and has always added songs to, had the "gear" symbols and acted like genius playlists. How can I change them back and why did this happen...any ideas?

How can i move songs to my playlists using my iphone rather than computer?

How can I move songs to my playlist using my iphone rather than my computer?

@allamb & stephanW
I found this thread via a search, I have a new iphone 5 (also i am completely new to iphone, having been the last few years on android) and i have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to add a song to a playlist.
You see i sit a work and listen to dozens of tunes, and i want to add a paticular song to a particular play list, and low and behold I can't, excuse my special characters but "What the f#%k itunes/apple??? - how can this be? Such a commonly needed function and for itunes to be the number music player in the world not to have this feature is ludicrus.
I am lucky that i only have about 500 songs on my iphone thus far, i feel sorry for stephanW with 4000+ !!
Apple - please fix - this is schoolboy programming stuff...
