Drag and drop music

Anyone else having an issue with drag and drop music to the iphone 3gs from itunes 8.2? I can create a new playlist and sync with that but cant drag just 1 item from my Library to the device.

this is actually something in iTunes, and has nothing to do with anything in the iPhone.

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

  • HT203128 I can't drag and drop music from iTunes 12 to iOS 8 iPhone 5s. How do I move music now?

    I connect the iPhone to itunes. that works. Everything shows up fine, but I can't drag and drop music from the 'music' section of iTunes 12 on my new mbp or my iMac. I used to be able to. Also, when I slide to delete songs on the iPhone, they still appear as 'ghosts' in the list on iTunes when the phone is connected - if I double click them, a exclamation mark in a circle comes up on the left of the track and it doesn't play. Can anyone help? Kind of need to get this sorted - it's bloody frustrating. I've restarted iPhone, iMac, MBP, downloaded the latest versions of iOS, OS X 10.10.3.

    you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

  • I recently installed iTunes 4.3 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore?

    I recently installed iTunes 4.3.5 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore. Every time I try to drag the music from a folder into the library, that little circle with the line thru it comes up (not allowed symbol). I've been using iTunes for years and am pretty computer savvy... I have no idea what the problem is. The only way I can add music right now is if I go to File>Add File to Library and that takes way too long, especially when adding 20-30 songs. I am using Windows 7 and I have an iPhone 4. Please help! This is extremely frustrating.

    No, sorry... you did not.  There is no iTunes 4.3.5.
    What did you actually install?  iOS 4.3.5 on your iPhone?  If so, this has NO affect on the ability to manually manage media via iTunes.
    Let's start over... tell us exactly what has been done.

    "every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want"
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    "but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod

  • In iTunes, I cannot drag and drop music into my Ipod.

    Correction: I can drag and drop a music file, but then on the iPod, the music file shows up in gray, unplayable, and just doesn't end up transferring. I have dragged and dropped music files on two different computers, now it doesn't work on either one. Any ideas what might be wrong?

  • Drag and drop music in iTunes not working

    Hi all,
    I am having problems dragging and dropping music in iTunes from my media library to my iPhone music library. The only possible way to import music is to sync playlists (which I hate doing). Does anybody else have this problem?
    Thanks!

    You need to make sure that your settings allow you to manually manage music. I believe it is a check box on the main settings page for your iPhone.

  • Drag and Drop music from itunes to iphone fail.

    When I attempt to drag and drop music from my itunes library to my iphone it no longer works.
    I've performed a factory restore on my phone and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.
    itunes: 8.0.0.35
    iphone software: 2.1
    I can create a playlist and tell the iphone to sync that playlist but this is not the way I want to do things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You have to check the manually manage box in itunes:

  • 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?

  • I am unable to drag and drop music onto my nano 6th gen!

    I am unable to drag and drop music onto my nano 6th gen that I downloaded into iTunes from 2 CDs that I purchased. Older songs will still copy! Oddly, I CAN drag and drop them onto my old video iPod!

    Yes! It is set up for manual management because I have way more music than will fit on my nano so I am only putting my favorites on it! It's just odd that the music on the 2 new CDs I downloaded into iTunes will not copy over! When I drag my songs to the playlist I made on my nano it acts like it is copying because I get the number of songs icon and the + sign indicating that it is copying but then the playlist is empty. The nano will say for a couple seconds that it is synchronizing but in the end nothing has transferred! If I take an older song and drag it into the playlist it does copy! Seem like it has to do with the new CDs being compatible with nano? I would really appreciate any advice! Thanks!

  • Why cant i drag and drop music

    i have been trying to add music to my library by drag and drop system, but it does not work. only way i can add any more music is by doing a full system search. can anyone help plz

    Also, I cant just look up what my ipod has on it all ready to delete some videos or music. It wants to sync up with my hard drive then it deletes everything.
