CD image no longer in Music column, not dragable

Apple keeps making infuriating changes to iTunes to make it more and more difficult to work with.
The latest one is this:
BEFORE:  1. Put a CD in the computer's drive.  2. CD image appears above music folders.  3. Drag the CD image to the desired playlist.  4. CD tracks import to that playlist.
OR: 1. Put a CD in the computer's drive.  2. CD image appears above music folders.  3. Click on CD image.  4. CD tracks appear to the right of the music list. 5. Select all tracks and drag them to the desired playlist  6. CD tracks import to that playlist.
AFTER (version 12.0.1.26):  1. Put a CD in the computer's drive.  2. CD image appears in icon menu near the top.  3. CD image can't be dragged to playlist.  4. Hunt all over for a way to get the tracks to the playlist.  5. Eventually open the playlist.  6. Discover "Add to" button. 6. Click on that.  7. Find the icon for the CD in the "Recently added" list.  8. Drag that image to the playlist.  9. Don't forget to click on "Done" above the playlist.
So much more complicated, so unintuitive.  Thank you, Apple, for "helping" me.
And by the way, when opening up the "About" window for iTunes, I wasn't able to memorize the version number 12.0.1.26 before it scrolled out of the window, and I had to wait forever for it to reappear.  That scrolling is a really useful feature with no purpose.  Thanks a million for that.

I have a related question, I guess. I have all the podcasts on my ipod in a playlist called "AllPodcasts." I now understand that I can shift+delete to actually delete podcasts from the iPod, but what about stuff that I just "deleted" before without the shift, and which thus were only removed from the playlist, but didn't free up space on the iPod?
Used to be (in pre-7 iTunes) that there would be one big catchall list of everything, but now I can't get the iPod to display the podcasts that I removed form the AllPodcasts playlist (so I can really delete them and free up space).
How can I view those files in order to get rid of them now? Do I have to go into disk mode? Please HELP, anyone. Thank you.

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    Hey Christownsend,
    Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
    Thanks,

  • Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..Thank u for your help.

    Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    after updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    Try:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
    Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

  • Most of my music is not longer available on my iPhone, even though it is synced

    I don't have iTunes Match, but a lot of my music is not longer downloaded onto my iPhone, and there's no option to download the song - even when I have wifi. How do I get my music back on my device?
    In iTunes, when I look at the "On This Phone" screen for my iPhone, the songs that my iPhone won't play are faded and have a grey circle to the left of their names. It does not happen exclusively with purchased songs.

    Craig
    I am finding every single hard drive that has a itunes library on it.  I am only moving the music folders inside the itunes folder to the new WDhd.  After the music folder is on the WDhd, I add what disk it came from. COPY media files (MP3, M4A, etc) whilst noting where they came from
         Do I make a big music folder on WDhd, called "BIG MUSIC Archive" and dump the content of each of the downloaded music folders into the BIG MUSIC Archive? That is what I had/have set up
         Won't there be a problem wiht folder (artists and albums) deleting each other where the last music folder wins? No because you copy them to separate folders/directories initially.
         This is were I am now.
         Later, Step 2,  turn on my usual Itunes and do the Library -> Consolidate     ?
         THis will absorbe the BIG MUSIC Archive on teh WDhd drive.   I wil call my current libary on my current itunes external drive  ORIGINAL MUSIC
         Maybe before STEP 2, I should get rid of all the dead files (a title but no song) that I mentioned before. Dead files can help you track what you cannot find
         I can then use the resutling  ORIGINAL music folder as the new BIG MUSIC folder on my dedicated WDhd Arcihve hard drive. YES OR Allow iTunes to copy to the iTunes folder (Preferences->Advanced Tab.  I never do/did this as my PC Hard Drive partition/Macbook Air does not have the storage space.
         Is that a good paraphrase of what you told me to do?  If not, please give me simple instructions.

    If they were purchases from iTunes then have you checked to see if you can re-download them (it's not possible in all countries), assuming that they are still available in the store : re-downloading ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download past music purchases and you haven't got a backup, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26.

    I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26. The only thing my iTunes for PC will not display the column view of songs any more  The only thing I have access to is the view that displays the album covers. I used the Help function, followed the procedure several times.  When I click on the music icon, the icon flashes, but does not bring up a menu as shown in the "help" file.

    1) reset the iPad. Hold power home button until screen goes black, apple logo appears-release
    2) delete the app, reinstall.
    3) wait for an update to the app

  • After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

    After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!
    Sincerely,

  • Sync Music will not sync voice memos.  Why?

    When I check "include voice memos" in Sync Music, and sync music, Voice Memos do not move into iTunes. 
    Memo is 33 minutes but that does not really seem, to me, to be an issue.  A search does not find it nor is there a Voice Memo Folder created in iTunes
    Ideas?  Solutions?
    Thanks 

    I didn't start this thread, but have the same question. I recently updated my iTunes and tried to sync and backup my iPhone so I can update to iOS7. Only, my music is not syncing from my iPhone to iTunes. Some of this music I have had for a couple of years and no longer have the CD for (I have teenagers...CDs damaged or missing). Out of 104 songs, only 3 are showing up. Any ideas?

  • Music (only) not sharing between 2 macs?

    I'll see if I can explain this properly.
    In our household we have 2 Macs one an iMac i7, 27" from Mid 2010 and a MacBook Pro Core2Duo from 2006 an iPod Touch 2nd Gen, iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPad 2, both computers are set up on OS X 10.7.3 and both are running iTunes 10.6 (The issue iI'll described happened as well in 10.5.3).
    The iPod 3rd Gen and iPad run iOS 5 (the iPod touch 2nd Gen is too old to run anthing past iOS4 and is kinda irrelivent in this issue so ignore that).
    The iMac and iPod Tocuh are set up with my Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud etc and the iPad and the Macbook Pro are set up for my father.
    Today I decided to set up my fathers equipment to use Home Sharing to allow him to stream content from the MacbookPro to the iPad
    I was trying to explain the progession from the earlier form of Sharing libraries to the newer Home Sharing. Explaining that the old Sharing was iTunes on Mac to Mac (or PC) and just allowed streaming. Where as newer home sharing allowed Mac to Mac File transfer and/or Streaming and Mac to iOS Streaming  as long as they were on the same Apple ID and Home sharing was turned on on all desired devices. So I went to show him the older Streaming from my computer to his to demo the difference. Then set up Home Sharing on his devices and show the difference. Except when I did this Music from my computer would not stream to his computer. It did stream to my ipod via home share. And I could Stream Movies and TV shows to his computer via the old sharing system.
    I then tried to sign both computers in with the same account for home share and again Movies and TV shows would stream from computer to computer but music would not, yet it would stream everything to the iPad or iPod.
    All the artwork shows up and everything just no steaming music.
    All that happens when you try to stream music from one computer to the other is you get "Opening URL Connecting" for a few mins then it just sits there at 0:00 with the speaker icon next to the song and no music and no error message, sometimes it just jumps straight to speaker icon without the "Opening URL" dialog.
    Its the Same issue in both directions. I tried Streaming from his to mine and vica versa to no avail.
    Both computers have firewall set to off.
    We're on a pretty standard Netgear WiFi Network with  WPA password.
    So here is a summery of what works and what doesn't
    Orignal Sharing system
    Mac to Mac,  Music Streaming, Does NOT works
    Mac to Mac,  Video Streaming,  WORKS
    New Home Sharing
    Mac to Mac, Music Streaming, Does NOT work
    Mac to Mac, Video Streaming,  WORKS
    Mac to iPod, Music Streaming, WORKS
    Mac to iPad, Music Streaming, WORKS
    Mac to iPod, Video Streaming, WORKS
    Mac to iPad, Video Streaming, WORKS
    Anyone know why its only the Music Mac to Mac not working?

    All Fixed Seems like my fathers VirusBarrier had blocked some incoming trafic from my computers IP addrss

  • I can no longer drag music from my computer into iTunes.

    I updated iTunes to the most recent download and installed the newest update on my iPhone 4. Now I can no longer drag music from my PC into iTunes. Not even into a new playlist. None of my settings changed. Please help.

    Try
    - Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

  • I can no longer add music to my phone after using tones

    I got a new iPhone 5C and I am trying to make tones for it.  I used an app to make a tone and when I enable Synching Tones All Tones I can no longer add music to my phone through iTunes.  When I try to drag and drop a music file the icon has a red circle with a line through it. 

    Hello Skymeck,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Here are a couple of threads from the Communities that explain how to add tones to your phone. You might want to review them to ensure you are adding them correctly and not getting in the way of syncing music.

  • TS4449 I can no longer hear music on my iPhone unless I use an ear piece could you please help

    For a couple of days now I can no longer hear music (or if I play a video with audio) unless I connect an ear piece. I can't find anything in setting that turns this feature on or off unless I have some hardware problem. Help?

    Try your volume buttons, if the slider does not show, then there is a short in the iPhone charging port. Clean charging port with toothbrush and small amount of isopropyl alcohol. If still problem the replacement part is iPhone charging port with flex cable, lower mic, and home button flex connector, all a single less than $10 part. Apple handles this problem with Warranty or AppleCare with Replacement iPhone 4S, if no coverage it will cost $199 for replacement iPhone 4S.

  • CD/DVD drive no longer reads music CD's after 10.5.6 upgrade

    After going through the 10.5.6 upgrade, the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E on my 2.16 Intel MacBook is no longer recognizing music CD's. Bought 3 new CD's just before upgrading and they aren't recognized now, as well as older CD's I own. DVD's and software CD/DVD's seem to work fine however.
    Any ideas on why and how to correct the issue? Is there a firmware update for the Matshita DVD drives used by Apple?
    Thanks in advance
    Joseph

    My G5 iMac was doing the same thing in the early months of 2008, and it wasn't till June that I discovered the drive itself was going bad. I could burn a disc, and when it finished, it wouldn't mount. I would reboot, and while the disc would then mount, the iMac said it was not the proper format. (Even though it was just burned on the Mac).
    A new drive eliminated this problem, so I would ask, how old is your computer?
    Mine was a little over two years old when it started this, and it took four months to completely die on me.
