Cant drag and drop music from my iphones music list?

Well what a nightmare..... brought a new laptop with Windows 8...... installed itunes....... couldnt find the menu or anything on there, there was no left hand column where all the lists or anything so i deleted everything (big mistake) off my phone to start again, added a heap of music to itunes but couldnt see it anywhere, finally found the music and menu so i added a couple of playlists but all of a sudden this stopped and i can only add the music to my playlists on my iphone as it wont let me drag and drop in itunes...... im so confused cos my other itunes on my other laptop does everything..... HALP!!!!

Hey Urban Angel,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to configure the iTunes window to better resemble previous versions, the following resource may be handy:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features

You can quickly toggle the sidebar on by choosing View > Show Sidebar. You'll then have a familiar view:
As for drag & drop, it sounds like you previously had your iPhone setup for manually managing music and videos. You may want to make sure it is still configured this way:

    In order to do this, you'll need to enabled 'manual mode' on your iPhone.

  • Drag and drop image from local files site list to page.

    Not working on all my documents. Must be some setting. Any ideas what is wrong?

    To be honest, I never drag & drop in DW.  I always use Insert > Image, Select image source...

  • I cant drag and drop music from my library to my iPod how do i?

    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?   
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any other media like apps or photos sync to the iPod now?

  • How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone 4 using iTunes 11?

    How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone using iTunes 11?

    If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

  • Cant drag and drop from file-roller to nautilus when using List View

    Hi, im using file-roller and i can only use drag and drop feature from file-roller when i use Icon View. If i select List View i cant drag and drop.
    Is that an expected behavior or its a bug? Is there a patch or work around? (File Roller 2.20.1 and Gnome 2.20.2)
    I think its a problem with file-roller cause in my other box, running ubuntu 7.10 i have the same problem, but i can drag and drop from ark even when using List View.
    Thx!

    Well, sorry for the double post, but after a little research i found this is a bug, actually a not yet implemented feature. There is a patch and probably its going to be merged in next version.
    Ill try to apply the patch myself, if it works could the maintainer Jan de Groot put it on the repository?

  • How to manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

    In iTunes 10, it's simple to just drag and drop a few songs manually from the library/playlist to the Shuffle.  In iTunes 11, Shuffle has its own window.  How do you manually drag and drop songs from music library/playlist to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

    If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar.

  • 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.
    Thanks

    Man, 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.

  • Can't drag and drop songs from iTunes to ipod

    Why can't I drag and drop songs from iTunes to ipod

    Hi there ASA101,
    You may want to verify that you have "Manually Manage Music" enabled in iTunes. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • 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 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.

  • 10.2.1 now cant drag and drop

    Hi all just updated a few days ago and now cant drag and drop into my itunes but i can drag and drop onto my ipiod or iphone....any ideas i think ive tried everything

    As b noir pointed out...the playlist can be sorted by artist, or album, or track number...which can be helpful or really annoying, depending on what you are trying to do. Just select/sort that far left column (Left of "Name") and then you can reorder the playlist.

    Hi
    I think I know what's happening as I'm having the same problem.
    Under previous iPhotos you could look at the main viewer and drag a photo or multiple photos from there to an already created album.
    Now, it only appears that you can drag an entire event from the events window to an album, even when you click on an event to open it, you can't drag individual photos from an event to an album.
    So how do we add individual photos to an album??

  • Why cannot I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

    Actually I have two questions.  I just updated from Leopard to snow leopard.  Now when I import songs, it says "Do you want to import to burn playlist?"  I click "yes".  Then when it is finished copying, I go to "playlists" on the top of the screen and click on the "burn playlist" and it says there are no items.  Where did the songs go.  I would like to burn a playlist that I imported this way.  I haven't tried arranging songs in the order I want them yet, but now see that is an issue also.  I also used to see a list of my playlists on the left side of the screen and the songs within each of those playlists when I clicked on them and easily could drag and drop songs from one playlist to another.  How do I do the same functions that I used to do before I updated? Does this update make it impossible to do the same functions as before?  Where can I find a "manual" of sorts to direct me to explain this new format?  If there is no way to do these things, I will have to say that I want my old iTunes back.  Can I do so???  Actually, the only reason I updated was so that I could play pix and movies from my camera into iPhoto.  When I did so, it said I had to update other programs to get iPhoto to work.  I am trying very hard not to be very frustrated.  PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After poking around for a while figured how to do things in this new iTunes.  Not as intuitive as the old one.  Sorry I don't have time to tell what I figured out.  Maybe some other time.

  • HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

    how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

    You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
    Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
    Are they Mac HFS formatted?
    You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
    MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows
