Cant drag music into iPod

For some reason, i can't drag my music into my iPod or anything in the panel on the right hand side for that matter (playlists, ect..)
I updated my iTunes and it still does not work.
Has anyone had this problem before?

Check to see how iTunes is set for synchronization (iPod Options). If iTunes is set to automatically synchronize with your iPod, you cannot drag music to the iPod nor delete tracks or playlists from it. Only if iTunes is set for manual synchronization can you drag tracks and playlists on and off your iPod yourself.

  • Cant Drag Music files into iTunes

    Hi there,
    I have been using iTunes for ages with out any problems but from yesterday I have found that I cant drag music files from a folder (My Music etc)into iTunes library or straight to my iPod.
    I can still use the "add file or folder" to library commands which work fine but I just cant drag files into iTunes like I used to. When I try I just get the circle with a line through it. The music files I am trying to drag are in the right format and I have even tried some files with are already on my iPod.
    Also I use winamp as my default player. When I double click on any music files in a folder winamp will open but does not play the file. I can still select "play file" from winamp and browse for the track I want to play. That works fine.
    So the same kind of thing is happening for both iTunes and winamp. I have searched for answers but still cant fix it. I have uninstalled and installed both iTunes and winamp. I remember having a problem like this before a long time ago but cant remember how to fix it.
    Its driving me insane!

    Are you just looking through the main library?
    My videos never show up under the main library anymore.
    They just show up under the movie or tv show headers.

  • I have an iphone 4 that I recently upgraded to IOS 7, and now I cant drag music to it.  It says "preparing to update" eternally.  Weird thing is... I have an iphone 3s that is IOS 6, and it takes new music all day.  arg.

    I have tried direct connecting the iphone 4, via wifi, everything.  I hate itunes with a passion, but it seems to be a necessary evil.  I dont know why I would have no trouble with my iphone 3.  I am using the same technique for both phones.  Find the music I want in the library and drag it to the iphone.  Works on IOS 6, not IOS 7.
    WHat else should I try?

    Hi jeffmbellucci,
    If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

  • Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into i

    Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into it. Preselected music just goes on.

    I am talking about iPhoto. In my old Mac even in Books choosing slideshow gives a pop up where you can select a music from I tunes library. In this new one I can stop the slideshow with cursor and it shows music option but it is, as I said dead. Does not response at all to commands.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Dragging music to ipod

    Is there a way to drag the music to the ipod instead of going to file, and folder and all that junk. My cousin got a ZUNE today and with the zune you can just drag all the songs from limewire of a folder straight into the zune and videos dont need to be converted, can you do this with the ipod?

    You need to use iTunes to load content on to your iPod. You can set if for manual music management from +within iTunes+. This will allow you, from +within iTunes+, to drag music from your library to your iPod. But it's all done from +within iTunes+.

    BTW can we ad screen capture videos to posts? The only button I have on the toolbar of these posts is an image icon and the video icon appears greyed out. Is there any method I need to resort to to make this icon active?

  • Can't drag music onto iPod?

    Using a Mac for the first time (its been up & running for a while but I've just come home from eight months away so my first opportunity to use it, loving it!)...
    Problem is that I can't drag music/audiobooks etc onto my ipod.
    iTunes is definitely recognising my ipod and "Manually manage music" is checked but nothing happens when I try to drag music onto it.
    Is there something I have to do because this is the first time I've hooked this ipod onto this computer? I can't imagine so because in Sydney I used internet cafes all the time and never ever had a problem adding music to my ipod.
    I'm driving north for Christmas today & would really like to be able to listen to the new audiobook I've just downloaded. Help, please!

    g'day and welcome to discussions !
    instead of trying to drag & drop, sync playlists and audiobooks to your iPod.
    browse through the various tabs for music, videos, etc. and put a "tick" in the box next to items you want on your Pod, then hit sync. see this KB http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    any help ?

  • Downloading music into ipod nano

    Hi, I'm a new apple user.  Can I upload music into iTunes from CDs?

    Yes, but not directly. First add the music to library by going to Files > Add to Library, then open the CD folder and make a selection of musics you want to add. Then perform the sync. Make sure the "sync music" in ipod menu is selected before you sync. Cheers!

  • How to get music into iPod library other than with iTunes?

    I am using an iPhone video editing app and want to add music to the clips. The option presented is to "add music from iPod library. I am presently traveling abroad and do not have my MacBook to sync music into my iPhone. There is tons of free music available online but the question is how to get any of it into my iPod library. I've tried a third party "download" app but it stores music inside the app, not in the iPod library. Are the only ways to put music in my iPod library either 1) sync from my MacBook or 2) buy from iTunes store? or are there other options?
    Thanks much.  

    The Jazz website you showed had Real audio files, and these won't be able to be played in the iPod app anyway.
    But there are options for websites with mp3s.
    There are apps that can play mp3s and make playlists, and some that can download music from legit websites and then play it.
    Do a search for "mp3 play download" in the itunes store.
    I have never needed one, but there are a few there that seem to offer what you are asking.
    Theuy won't add the music to the ipod app, but they play themselves so that might be what you are looking for.

  • Cannot drag music into playlists or move them in playlists

    So I just downloaded a cd from itunes and i went to make a playlist, but when i tried to drag the songs into the playlist, it wouldn't let me. So I went to some other playlists I had and tried to move the songs around in there, but it wouldn't let me. The only way I could was to right click and say move to playlist, but I want to be able to drag. Any suggestions? It's iTunes version 9.0.2
    Message was edited by: ThePhillUp

    I don't know but this worked for me. After I shut down my computer for the day, and started it back up the next morning, it worked fine and has been ever since. Now I can once again drag songs into playlists. Must have been just a little glitchy or buggy.

  • HT1386 I keep getting a message while downloading purchased music into Ipod that reads " U can download past purchases on this device with just 1 apple ID every 90 days. can b used with another apple ID in 42 days"  what does that mean? cant get music on

    I have purchased an  album and its on my computer in library, plays there and on Ipod as downloaded but cant get it in to music. also havent been able to get my music that I download into hard drive to sync either, afraid to restore [reset] because with have to re-download all of my cd s again. HELP

    It means exactly what it says. For redownloading via iCloud (which is what you are doing).
    Computers and devices can be associated with a different Apple ID once every 90 days. Days remaining indicates the number of days before you can associate that specific computer or device with a different Apple ID.
