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.

Can't move songs into playlists

I can move a few songs into playlists but most won't. I'm not sure why. Help....

Never mind. Suddenly figured it out.

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 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 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!

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?

Can't add songs to playlists in iTunes 9

Is anyone else having this problem in iTunes 9? I can't drag any songs into any playlists (existing or newly created). I can, however, delete songs from playlists.
Please help!
Thanks

I was adding songs to my iPod playlist and not even 2 minutes in to the task I could no longer drag and drop songs into ANY of my playlists. I could just as easily right-click and the songs would go without problem.
I've just got off the phone with Apple Support and all he had me do was download the most recent security update. I believe the only reason I was asked to do with was so my Macbook would not just restart, but also refresh all of the apps as well.
So far so good. KMFC.

I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks

Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!

Can't drag songs into a playlist

Hey folks,
I'm having trouble creating playlists and adding songs to playlists. I've done this before (last year) but tonight I can't drag a song from iTunes store into an existing playlist and when I create a new playlist, it doesn't show up on the right hand side of the window just on the lefthand side. I can drag songs from an existing playlist into a new playlist, but I've had no luck with new songs. I just downloaded the latest iTunes version. Any ideas? Thanks!

just a thought but make sure when you make a new playlist its not a "smart" playlist.

Can't drag new song into playlist

I just purchased a song and attempted to drag it from the "Recently Purchased" column to my "Christmas" playlist. I get a warning that says only iCloud songs can be put in iCloud playlists and the song will only be available on the computer if I proceed...but this IS an iCloud song. The button I am apparently supposed to select says "Remove Playlist." I'm pretty sure I don't want to do that.
I keep reading negative comments on forums about the iCloud and I have to say, it's been nothing but trouble for me so far. Can I simply remove it (without disrupting my library) and just take the $25 loss? It's not worth the hassle.

Just bought a new ipod
Where did you find a new 4G iPod?
all of the songs in the ipod show up as light gray on my computer screen
Because the iPod is set to Auto update.
I copied one song from cd, made new playlist of this song,
You don't have to put song into a playlist to put them onto the iPod. Playlists are an easy way to arrange music and select certain tracks.
Open iTunes prefs -> iPod. Set it to Auto update ALL songs and playlists.
Any new songs and playlists will go onto the iPod when you plug it in.

Can't Drag & Drop Songs into Playlists

I am astounded that this appears to be such a wide spread issue and there do not seem to be any useful responses to the issue. I have always been able to drag music from my iTunes library into playlists I have already created. Now the playlists I previously created (they were not created as genius playlists) all have a funny "gear wheel" shaped symbol next to them and will not accept anything dragged from the library. If I create a new playlist (which now shows a "purchased music" symbol) and give it the name of one of the already created playlists, I can drag library music into it, but I don't want to have to recreate every playlist and manually re-drag every song into the playlists. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

Can't drag and drop songs into playlists

Does anyone know why I can't seem to drag and drop a song into a playlist I have created........I can drop songs into the untitled playlist but none of the others. Please help! Thanks.

Almost certainly, the reason no one understands your issues is because you haven't explained them well enough.

So you haven't fixed it yourself, despite saying that you have.
Okay, stop with those negative waves.
Have you checked to make sure that the Playlist you are trying to add to is a Regular Playlist...
and not a Smart Playlist...
or a Playlist Folder...
In addition to all of this, the original question was asked 18 months ago, before iTunes 11. So is your problem that you cannot work out how to create a new playlist? For example, at which point do you get stuck with this new Playlist, creating it, or adding to it?
