Drag-and-drop option or just iTunes

Hi there! I'm thinking of buying an iPod but I travel a lot, meaning that usually I have to uploadmusic from my portable harddrive using a random PC in a random cyber cafe. Thus, I can't instal iTunes on evetry new machine I'll be using. Hence, is there an alternative to iTunes? I used to have a Sony MP3 player and they had such an option (MP3 Manager).
Cheers!
Anton

No drag and drop for the iPod. Where are you getting the music from in a cyber cafe?

ITunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

Because Apple have designed it that way.
It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators.

Win 7 Drag and Drop stopped working after iTunes update

I really hope that this is the right sub-forum for this.
Here goes:
A few days ago I finally upgraded to 9.1.1.12 and today I was in for a nasty surprise: I can't move MP3s from windows explorer into the iTunes window any more.
I often create playlists and then drag files I get from a few bands I follow directly into those playlists. This is an easy and painless process. My FTP client downloads the files into a prearranged folder whenever they get a new song up, and I then open said folder and drag and drop the file into iTunes.
I just got a new song to listen to today, wanted to drag it in an... Nothing. Just the black, crossed-through circle of "No".
It worked last week. It worked the week before. It worked the years before.
I got Win7 64 in April. It worked on it since then.
It stopped working today.
And no, I won't let iTunes consolidate or organize my media. It only organizes files bought via the iTunes store, nothing I rip from CDs or obtain otherwise, as those files have to be playable by two other players as well. But, again: Until this night it worked without a problem. And after the new update... Stopped.
Is there a new option I'm missing?

I was able to fix it.
I simply stopped running iTunes in Admin mode. For some reason, running it in administrator mode makes it behave "worse" than not doing so.
When I ran it as a normal program, I was able to drag files into it correctly again.
Which is weird, as the last version was also running in admin mode, but worked perfectly.

then select only the first region and option-drag it to the end of the song

" I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
This has been a known issue in the past:

Drag and drop option for hierarchy through Web Template

Hi All,
I have 2 hierarchies in one report. For example Product Hierarchy and Customer hierarchy. I would like to have an option in query where I can select the node from each hierarchy and the report is displayed only for the selected node/nodes. I am using Web Template. I used "Hierarchy filter" web item and was able to achieve this. But I would like to have a drag and drop option.
I mean when I use Hierarchy filter web item, I have to select the particular node in the hierarchy. and then the report (Web Item - Table) is displayed based on the selection. But I would like to drag the node from the hierarchy and drop it to the report (Web Item - Table) and the report is displayed for the selected hierarchy node.
Is this possible? How? Do I have to write any Java code or we can achieve this with BI Standard functionality.
Regards.
Parin Gandhi.

This is not possible using Standard BI web functionality.
If you are an expert with JavaScript and BI Web APIs you can probably write JS code to do this.

Can I just drag and drop song files into iTunes?

I have about 50 folders on my PC (Windows 7), each containing between 5 and 15 songs. These are under My Music/ on the PC.
On my Mac, I have about 1000 songs with about 25 Playlists. Some of these Playlists on the Mac contain the same songs as in the folders of the PC.
I want to transfer the songs from the PC to the Mac. I did not want to go through them one by one on each computer to see which of the files on the PC were already on the Mac.
I can look at the PC (My Music) folders and the Mac (iTunes) Playlists side by side on the Mac.
If I see a missing song on the Mac Playlist folder, can I just drag and drop that particular song from the PC folder into the Mac Playlist?
If I see that a Playlist does not exist that would need to be available for the specific folder contents on the PC, can I create the Playlist on the Mac and then, drag and drop all of the songs from the PC folder to the new Playlist?
Would this be the easiest way to accomplish the transfer of the songs?
Thanks

If I understand that all correctly then yes.

Drag and drop not working in itunes?

I've recentlt udated to Snow Leopard and my itunes id up to date. First thing I noticed is that many things I used to do via drag and drop won't work anymore. or instance, i create a play list then I want to dag songs to it but it won't do it. I have to right click on the file and then select 'add to play list' and choose which playlist to add to. next, I want to rearrange the order of songs in a playlist and before I wold just click on the song and drag it up or down into the spot I want. Well It won't let me do it. Basically you need to add tracks in the order you want the first time.
What's going on here, is this the way it is now or am I doing something wrong. BTW, I'm a long time mac user (since early 90s) and this is the most non intuitive experience I have ever had on a mac.

well I discovered the problem after some research. It seems that if you have a wacom tablet and mouse, your mac won't allow you to do some drag and drop features. I have a microsoft mouse attached as well and it works fine.

How can I drag and drop lectures within an itunes U album so that they appear in order after syncing with my iphone?

Whenever I download audio iTunes U lectures, they don't show up in the order in which they were recorded and therefore do not sync in order on my iphone. There is no sorting option to sort by date recorded. All I want to do is drag and drop the individual lectures to their proper location so that they will be in order by recording date. Anyone have the secret?
Kristy P-S

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Drag and Drop Music folder to iTunes Media folder?

My HDD lacks the space for running "Consolidating Files" (File->Library->Organize Library->Consolidate Files), since iTunes doesn't move the items but rather copies them to iTunes Media. My goal is to have the Music folder live inside the iTunes Media folder. Can I drag and drop the Music folder into iTunes Media? Any adverse consequences for doing this? I am trying to straighten my iTunes folder and file structure. As it is now, in addition to what I mentioned, the *library.xml and other related files are living inside the iTunes Media folder but I believe those should reside under the iTunes folder. How do I get them back out there? Does any of this reorganization matter? Everything displays just fine in the iTunes browser. Thank you for your help.

Where are these files now if not inside the itunes media folder?
since iTunes doesn't move the items but rather copies them to iTunes Media.
Correct. Any music now in iTunes should be in /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder.
Are you looking to add more music to iTunes?
Do this...
Go to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder.
Find the Automatically add to iTunes folder and make a shortcut on the desktop.
Drag songs here. This will add to iTunes and move, not copy, the song to the iTunes folder.

Go to iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Makes sure the iTunes media folder location is set to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
Uncheck Keep iTunes folder organized then click OK.
Then recheck Keep iTunes folder organized then click OK.

Drag and Drop Option

I wanted to know if there is an option for Drag and Drop in Captivate 6.

30 objects is quite a lot, but either of the drag and drop widgets would be able to handle this number of drag objects.
If the user is expected to place the 5 drag objects in a specific order, you need to set up 5 targets and assign one drag object to each target.
If there is NO specific order, but you just want the user to select 5 objects from the 30 and place them in any order, you can set up a single target object that is large enough to hold all 5 drag objects and then use the Smart Snapping option to have the drag objects automatically position themselves in a list on top of the target. The user can arrange the items in the list in any order they want just by dragging the objects around.

Drag and Drop stopped working in iTunes

Just recently upgraded to latest iTunes 10.4, OS X 10.5.8 and Wacom driver 6.1.6-4. Drag and drop a selection to a playlist in iTunes no longer works. All was fine before iTunes/OS upgrade. Only upgraded Wacom to see if it made a difference which it didn't. Dragging and dropping with a USB mouse seems okay. I've noticed several similar problems on this board with no solution. Anyone else having this issue that has found a solution? Thanks.

Your case sounds very similar to mine. I a bit older Mac G5 running OS X 10.5.8. When I upgraded to iTunes 10.4 I found the drag and drop gone and a few other inconsistencies. I reloaded iTunes and now everything works pretty well, but if I go into the iTunes Store my drag and drop feature goes away. If i relaunch iTunes it comes back until I go in the Store again. Hoping someone more familiar with the OS and application details can point me in some direction. Thx

Can't Drag and Drop to iPhone using iTunes 10.7.0.21

I cant manually drag and drop my video files to my iPhone using iTunes. When I click on my device and go to summary and check "Manually manage music and videos" and click apply I get a message saying " The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with another library?"
" An iPhone can be synced with only ones iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents, of this phone with the contents of this iTunes library"
My options are to erase and sync or cancel. I do not want to erase the contents of my iPhone can anyone help?

To recap... here is a fuller version of my advice on "how to move a library from one computer to another."
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
As I said in the other thread if you want to be certain of attracting my attention simply post into either of these threads to which I've already posted. These come to the top my active list whenever a new post is added to the thread. Otherwise I keep a general lookout across a number of forums for the threads where I think I can help, but I don't get to read everything...
