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
Thanks Rey

  • 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.

  • Drag and drop feature is not working in Maverick?

    what can i do when the Drag and Drop feature is not working in my I Mac Using Maverick 10.9.4, it will not do it at all i must do copy and paste.
    reading from earlier forums this has been a problem in earlier versions for the mac.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Drag and Drop Feature is not working

    I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro running 10.8.3 and all of a sudden the drag-and-drop feature isn't working. I was dragging photos from my job's website and adding them to a folder, but after about three photos in, it stopped working and no matter what I do it won't drop into the folder. How can I solve this?
    Thanks

    Can you drag anything into the folder, such as files from another folder?

  • In Oats Drag and Drop Api is not working in Firefox Browser

    To Write OAts test for Drag and Drop functionality
    we are using "dragTo" API.
    Ex :
    web.image("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + sourceIndex + "']")
                     .dragTo("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + targetIndex + "']");
    This Api is not working in firfox.(works in IE browser).
    Is there any other way we can test DnD functionality in firefox and IE?
    Thanks in Advance!

  • GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

    Hello,
    In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
    Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
    * Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
    But I can't make it working.
    As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
    In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
    Has anyone been able to make it work?
    Thanks in advance,
      Franz

  • AS3 drag and drop masked bitmaps - not working

    I have a drag and drop project using bitmaps that were masked using fireworks. All bitmaps are PNG (fireworks files) and one object is GIF. All objects were converted into movie clips.
    PROBLEM
    All movie clips from PNG's can be dragged, but they can't be dropped. However, the GIF movie clip responds to both drag and drop.
    ActionScript worked when all movie clips had GIF's.
    Is this problem because the objects were masked or for any other reason?
    Note: Objects were masked because their border is very fussy and cropping them doesn't help with the quality of their image.

  • Drag and drop album art not working / iTunes 7.0.1.8 & WinXP SP2

    Drag and dropping album art isn't working for me after upgrading to iTunes 7 in WinXP SP2. Anyone else experience this problem?
    Update: Drag and drop works from a webpage but not from Windows explorer or Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.

    You only need an iTunes account to automatically get artwork. Usually artwork for CDs you import yourself is gotten from somewhere else. I tend to use allmusic.com. Occasionally I will have to use google to find the artwork though.
    Have never tried to add artwork from anywhere but a webpage though.

  • Drag-and-drop from bookmarklet not working in Firefox 13

    Here is our bookmarklet code snippet:<br />

    <pre><nowiki>javascript:var%20r=Math.random()*100;var%20protocol='http://www.vflyer.com/main';if%20%20((location.href).indexOf('https')!=-1){protocol='https://www.vflyer.com/main'};(function(){var%20d=document;var%20s;try{s=d.standardCreateElement('script');}catch(e){}if(typeof(s)!='object')s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.src=protocol+'/bookmark.jsp?r='+r;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);})();</nowiki></pre>
    It seems that in Firefox 13, users can no longer drag and drop content from the bookmarklet into the browser. I tried disabling all add-ons but that didn't work. I also saw a thread about the Torbutton extension inhibiting drag-and-drop, but I don't have that extension. Any ideas?

    Do you mean dragging content from the pop-up iframe that the bookmarklet creates?
    Does it work if you use copy and paste instead of dragging?

  • Drag and drop examples do not work ?!

    Hi guys,
    i want to add drag and drop functionality to one of my programs
    i tried to run the java examples of this page:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/intro.html
    but it just does not work ! windows give me the "can't drop" icon when i drag a file in the frame
    do you experience the same problem?
    Thanks in advance

    i tried:
    A Simple Example: Adding DnD to JLabel
    and
    Data Transfer with a Custom Component
    For both of these, i downloaded/compiled/executed the sourcecode ; there was no error. But the drop couldn't be done
    EDIT: in fact i just realised i didn't read the "try this" instructions and i misunderstood what the progs were supposed to do... in fact they work, they just don't do what i thought they would do XD
    sorry..
    EDIT2 I found a package for easy drag and drop operations ( http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/java/filedrop/ ) so it's useless to answer to this thread any more, tks ^^

  • Widget, Drag and Drop from palette not working.

  • Drag and drop from Aperture not working?

    This sounds like a pretty stupid issue but... when I attempt to drag & drop an image from Aperture (to anywhere, e.g. desktop, iweb, mail) it usually doesn't let me. Some photos will drag out but most won't (Two pictures of the identical format and size - one will let me drag&drop it and the other won't), and the export feature takes forever. I tried making sure that aperture is maintaining the previews and that the file to export is half size but still not working... any ideas?

    Not stupid at all. That's a feature I use all the time and I'd be pretty PO'd if it wasn't working.
    Your profile doesn't indicate whether you're running Aperture 3.x or not. Did the problem appear after an update or has it always been that way on your installation?
