Can't transfer playlists created in iTunes on my PC to my iPod 7th generation...what is the procedure to do this? I use to be able to drag and drop the playlists.
I Have updated iTunes on my PC and have recently purchased a new iPod. I can't get playlists that already existed in my iTunes transferred to my iPod. On the older versions I could drag and drop my playlists onto my iPod. Why can't I do this anymore? What are the steps to be able to do this.

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1. I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that. I now have to type each name in. Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software? Thanks for any info!
Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way. -

How to create a drag and drop video playlist Help please
I would like to learn how to create a drag and drop video playlist.
I think the most common example is youtube.
I already have partial of the work but I am stuck with my preliminary knowledge of Flash.
What I am saying is:
I have a *.fla project that have the galleries for video and pictures.
But this process is done from the back end.
I would like to make it more dynamic for the visitors.
For example:
1. Create a visitor video (pictures) playlist
2. Drag and drop into the playlist
3. To be able to create different playlists (Playlist 1, "My favorite playlist", "Watch later", etc)
If someone knows or want to guide me where or how to find this request, I'd appreciate it so much.
If the forum think that this need to be address to a expertise ($). I am also welling to hear that and where to go.
If someone is interesting in this project please send me a note to show the prelimary project.
ThanksYeah that is the general idea but that is more of a "lift and drop", i want to add the same thing as when you:
Right click this window in the taskbar (assuming your using windows) when the window is not maximized and click "move" then it changes the cursor icon and allows u to move the window around and while you move it around it shows the window moving, not a click and release feature.
So i want that ability without having to click on the title bar, if you know what i mean. -
HT1349 new itunes update won't allow me to drag and drop a playlist
Hi
I've downloaded the new iTunes update but I can't seem to do a drag and drop with playlists from my PC/mac onto my external Apple devices (2x iPads, iPod and my iPhone)
Is this lost functionality or a new "feature"
I don't want iCloud and Home Sharing doesn't work for me...
Any ideas....?
I can include songs onto a device but only one at a time wheras I need to drag the whole playlist...No, I haven't had any solution to this problem. None of the myriad of possible solutions work. Doesn't someone from Apple monitor these boards? I've given up in getting it fixed and am seriously ****** at the lack of response on Apple's part without me paying for an answer. This is a ridiculous way to support software, where I have to troll around a discussion board hoping someone stumbled upon a solution and will actually reply to this thread.
Considering the amount of Apple products that I own, you'd think I could get a freakin' response. Here's are the amount of apple products in my house, all bought within the past 3 years-
Mac Pro Quad Core
15" MacBook Pro
13" Macbook Air
3 Mac Minis
Three iPad's
2 iPhone 4's
2 iPod Touch's
But because it's on my Mac Pro, which is 1 1/2 years old, I can't get an answer to this! ***. -
Why cant I drag and drop into playlists
I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7
Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

why cant I drag and drop into playlists
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

I do import from CD first. Then use shift/enter to highloght tracks I wish to place in a new playlist I create for the purpose, drag and drop produce icon + and no of tracks and then nothing! After ejecting the disc the tracks are in the library but contrary to what the icon tells me not in the playlist. I can get them into the playlist but only from the library -
I can't drag and drop the songs around in a playlist I made
I just made a new playlist and for some reason I can't drag and drop the songs around to change the order. I have two other playlists and I can drag and drop the songs in those playlists just fine. How can I fix this?
Select the first column before the track title.

I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on? I really would like to continue to utlize that feature because it makes learning to play songs easier. Any help would be appericated.
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them. -
how can i sync videos to my iphone 5 using Itunes 11. i also tried to convert the videos to mp4 and drag and drop the file in itunes but still i cant see videos in itunes library.
Copied from this link.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
There are 3rd party utilities available that "rip" content into a compatible format - most include an iPod and/or iPhone format selection. If a video plays in iTunes, iTunes includes an option to convert a selection for iPod/iPhone. -
No longer able to drag and drop files to an iPhone in iTunes.
I accidentally unplugged my iPhone 3G before it was finished syncing in iTunes and I lost all of music, playlist, podcasts, etc. I had copied to it. The problem I am now having is that I can no longer drag and drop anything to my iPhone in the Devices list. The only way that I can now get files onto it is by syncing with my existing play lists, etc from iTunes. I can't even select it in the Devices list and create a new playlist on it by clicking the new playlist button at the bottom. I really liked the option to just drag whatever I wanted onto it. It's really a pain now. It does sync properly, so thankfully that works.
Does anyone know why I know why I'm no longer able to drag and drop music, etc. to an iPhone in iTunes.
ThanksMan, I can't believe it...that was the fix. I had it checked previously, obviously because that's how I was doing it before. Don't know how it got unchecked, but that IS the solution. I thought something bad had happened and wasn't thinking clearly – feel like an idiot now.
THANKS for you help. -
Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks
Here's the short-cut solution:
Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
Make sense? -
Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
YanHello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

Drag and drop into playlist not working + changing of timezone
Hey All
Ive searched and cant find an answer to this anywhere
My PC crashed pretty hardcore like (unable to load vista to deauthorize account before formatting PC) so a format ensued, once i formatted i reinstalled itunes and reauthorized my account for my ipod touch did the whole back transfer and delete and resync of my ipod so now i have to put all my music back onto the ipod touch (well not all my music just the stuff i want to listen too)
So i went and made a new blank playlist (not a smart list) and proceeded to fill ... when i came accross my problem i cant drag music from the library to my new fresh (definitely not a smart playlist) Playlist
ive checked the "manually manage box" in the ipod summary screen but even when the ipod isnt plugged in i cant drag and drop. i can right click and add to playlist fine ... just not drag and drop
also when i plug my ipod in it sets my timezone to london and changes my time .... rather annoying considering i use my ipod as an alarm clock
any assistance is greatly appreciated
