Drag and drop to Sony player

I previously was able to drag and drop BBC podcasts from iPlayer to a Creative MP3 player. This doesn't seem to work with the new Sony player I have bought. The podcasts work OK, in that they sit in the podcasts folder on Apple library, but all I get is the 'no entry' icon when I try to copy across. Hope this isn't too stupid a question.
Thanks,
Paul.

NTFS eh?
you can use PARAGON to read and write to NTFS drives (ie Window / PC) on your Mac
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
2. you can offload that data onto your PC and format the HD in EXFAT for read/ writes to and from BOTH PC and Mac.
3. grab / buy another HD and format it (temporarily) in Exfat for file transfers to your Mac from that "PC" Hard drive.
a few other minor options exist.
Id choose option 3.    HD are as cheap as dirt
!!Remember anytime a HD is formatted this erases any and all data on the drive, so do not do this unless you have all data on that HD backed up or otherwise.

  • 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?

  • I recently uploaded some pics and videos from an ipad and a camera. I put them all on Iphoto and backed them up in my personal folder. I then trimmed one of the videos and dragged and dropped that into the master folder(pictures). Its now gone!! HELP!?!?!

    I rencently added all my photo's from my Ipad and Camera. There were photos and videos on both. The import was done through Iphoto and then transfered to my backup in my pictures folder. I then took one of my videos and trimmed it and then addded that trimmed version to my back up(pictures)albumn. It asked If i wanted to replace existing photo or cancel and I hit replace. Now the file plays great on Iphoto but I am unable to share it through any form(facebook, Imessage etc) and in my back up(pictures) it says the file in only 87kb. I dragged and dropped it from Iphoto to the desk top along with another important video, when I hit get info on both of them one of them is a full sized video(50mb or whatever) and the other one(the one I am trying to recover) is only the 87kb. I want this full file avaiable to me how can I get it back?? it is already deleted off the camera??? please please help me.

    Garret,
    is your movie in your backup folder a Quicktime movie? Then probably only have the Quicktime wrapper in your backup folder, but not the referenced media in the file fork of the movie. If you see the full quality movie in iPhoto in QuickTime player, don't drag it from the browser to the Desktop, but use "File > Reveal in Finder > Original File" to show the movie in your iPhoto Library. Select the Movie when it is revealed and ctrl-click it to open it in Quicktime Player.
    Export it from Quicktime Player with "Export to" and share it to iTunes. This way it will be converted to a .mp4 movie that embeds the missing resources.
    You can drag the converted movie from iTunes to the Desktop or share it using to Media Browser to other applications.

  • There is absolutely NO way to drag and drop newly purchased music from the Purchased list on the phone into my iTunes library?  I'm finding it hard to believe that something so simple cannot be done!

    I like to make MP3 CD's when I have people over, or when my friends have people over so I can just pop them into the CD player and let them play all night without having to worry about changing the CD or anything.  Well, Apple's music is in AAC format, so I have to convert the songs to MP3 files using the converter in iTunes.  So I'll convert them to MP3's and just delete the AAC file so I don't have doubles.  The problem is, the next time I plug the phone into my laptop to transfer new purchases, iTunes thinks that the songs I converted aren't there anymore because the phone has them as AAC files, and iTunes has them as MP3 files, so it doubles the music again...EVERY time!!  It's very frustrating!  So this is why instead of clicking Transfer Purchases, I would like to be able to just drag and drop the songs I want from the Purchased list on the phone into my iTunes library.  I hope I explained this right...lol.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I'm able to do that.  I'm hoping maybe somebody here can help me out and give me some pointers on what to do about this.  Thanks!!

    That stinks!  I can actually do that at my house...I just plug my iPhone right into the wire that's plugged into my receiver in my living room...but some of my friends aren't "technology savvy"...lol...so they just have DVD players and I'll put the CD in there because it will read an MP3 disc.  What's funny, is I have the phone set to "Manually Manage Music", and when I plugged it into the laptop just now, the one song I downloaded last night on the phone, transferred over to the iTunesl library.  That NEVER happens.  And it only transferred the one song...it didn't double the other songs like it ususally does.  I swear, iTunes does what it wants, when it wants sometimes...lol.  Thank you for your quick response. 

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Sorry but I am way confused on this. I was really used to my basic MP3 player where I have folders on my drive that I just drag and drop/delete as easy as that.

  • Why Cant I Drag And Drop Music And Movies to My iPOD?

I dont want to sync, everytime I do I lose everything and I dont like keeping a separate folder with my tunes I like to listen to all the time and then I dont have the time to go through 50 gig of music to uncheck or check what I want on my ipod.... Why cant I just drag and drop to my Ipod? Why do I need itunes is there another way to get music and videos on my ipod other than itunes?

    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

  • Drag and drop files to iMovies

    i have used a converter to make files from my HDD JVC dvd camera to make them compatible with iMovies but imovies won't let me drag and drop them into a project i have created. Help!
    I don't seem to be able to share them with imovies from Quick Time Player either. I am new to mac systmes and finding it really quite tricky to get my head around the software.

    Hey Gary, sorry I didn't reply sooner - been very busy.
    Yes, I'm able to connect to the server but I get an error message when I drag files over to the remote server. The files show up as being there but they don't load when I try to view them in a browser (online). Will start a new thread to try to figure out what's going on.

  • Old Drag and Drop With Toast Issue:

    I found this link to an old discussion, but it does not resolve my issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9282890#9282890
    I burnt two nice LightScribe labels, (nice because I cooked 'em twice for extra darkness, which takes time,) and then, after assuming that if I dragged and dropped my iTunes files to the desk top and then to Toast, as the above thread recommended, that since the files were accepted by toast doing things that way, that things were back to normal. I finished two beautiful CD's (I had a lot of work into the design of the labels,) by burning the music on to the disks. Well, my car cd player wouldn't play them, that is not normal, and I have two beautifully useless CD's which were the product of a lot of time and labor not to mention the cost of the disks... I've always been able to play back using the old process, (without the desktop drag and drop step,) - I'm running an iTunes version way beyond when this bug was supposed to be fixed. What do I do? How do I get back to being able to go directly from iTunes to Toast with successful playback? Thanks for your help with this!

    To anselmo Stiffan:
    Which problem did you solve: the double click with one tap or three finger drag? I too have aluminum 2008 MacBook, and I found the preferences and accessibility section but seem to fail in finding the right combo of preferences I'm used to or like. Ok, so the three finger drag is good, but click or tab... drives me bonkers!!! Everything was fine for me even after updating to Mountin Lion back in July 2012, but then all of a sudden in October 'my trackpad doesn't work the same. I don't even want to get on the computer anymore, because I'm annoyed and I cannot click on my user account to login with plugging in a mouse or using keyboard shortcut functions. It's hit or miss with my trackpad working, it freezes after awhile, then I have to plug in the darn mouse. I checked my trackpad firmware, it said up to date....I may have to actually start a new discussion??? But to continue venting... Some menu's need one tap, some require double tap... I cannot use one click unless its set to left or right for alternate menu's. Its just bad in my carpel tunnel and frustrating... I've been searching discussions for similar issues and I saw this. I saw you had an older Mac? It's funny how I switched over 4 years to Mac and mine is almost obsolete? I'm afraid to take it in only to pay more money. I guess my real question besides double clicking option would be if other folks with "the older Aluminum" 2008  MacBook models are having similar problems?

  • Drag and drop into iTunes

    I used to be able to drag and drop a mp3 file from mail directly to iTunes. Not anymore. How can i save these music files to iTunes now?
    When I use the Lion save feature it takes so many more clicks and I'm not sure how to set up the folders so that it will be like the other folders in my itunes library.

    The new iTunes update to 9.2 may be necessary for iPhone 4 to work but they missed a whole bunch of things. For example when I drag a track from my iTunes window to the desktop I used to see the file on the desktop with the artwork as the file's icon - now when I drag it the artwork is no longer included in the thumbnail nor when I hit the space bar to preview the track - something I used a lot when I do my job reviewing music - sometimes 200 track per week so it has ruined my process of working with music files in large quantites.
    Also - I always found that iTunes never correctly embeds the text info for each track into CDs whenever I used the program to burn CDs. Often when I am DJing in a club the text info would not show on the CD player screen. I found that Toast would do this perfectly everytime regardless of what model CD player I was working with. So I would grab aplaylist from iTunes and drop it into the Toast window and simply hit burn. NOW in 9.2 I can no longer select an entire playlist and drag it to Toast. I have to drag all the files out of iTunes, into a folder then reassemble the playlist track by track in Toast - this takes 10 times longer or more.
    APPLE by forcing these things upon us you are turning into MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!

  • Transfering files using drag and drop to Nano P

    I havent installed the supplied disks that came with my Nano Plus but am transfering files using drag and drop from "my music" folder on my computer to the Nano. These files are stored on my computer as the Name of the Artist as the folder name with a sub folder named the CD title (default setting when using Windows media to rip) with the individual track files in that folder.
    When I drag the main folder over to my Nano it just displays the Album title on the screen but not by artist and there is no way to select by artist (you can just switch "folders" on the Nano which will then display the CD title. If I used the supplied software with my Nano to transfer the files will I be able to choose by artist, CD, Genre, etc or is this not a function of the Nano?
    Is it best to just select the individual song tracks and throw them in one large group on the Nano and then it can figure out which artist, album, genre they belong to?

    The player will only show directories that contain music files.
    The behaviour you want is common on players that manage their content with a database (typically HD-based devices), but Creative's flash players don't work that way (and the software used on the host computer doesn't have any influence on this - the user interface is controlled by the player's firmware).

  • Drag and drop to open link

    Hi , I'm learning flash and have just upgraded from MX to CS5 . In MX I created a drag and drop actionscript that works fine , but now I want to modify it. In the original , an image representing an audio file could be dragged and dropped , and if it was double-clicked it opened that specific audio file and played the audio . I would like to get rid of the double-click and have the audio file open if the image is dropped on top of another image (of a record player) . Is it possible to activate the specific link for the audio file image by dropping it inside a box , or onto a button?
    Also , the MX version works fine , but do I have to rewrite it using Actionscript 3 , if I add further code in CS5?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Ned.
    Here is the code
    //On press
    on (press) {
      this.startDrag();
    //On release
    on (release) {
      this.stopDrag();
    //On rollOver
    on (rollOver) {
      this.swapDepths(1000);
    on(release) {
      var v0 = getTimer();
      lastclick = getTimer();
      if (lastclick - v0 + 500 > 0) {
      getURL("katie.html");
      trace("double");
      } else {
      trace("single");
    It shows a pile of "albums" to sort through and click through to the music. See http://www.olimalarky.co.uk/flash/musics.html
    I want to drag the image onto the image of a record player and have it open the link without clicking.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Drag and drop external text into a Flex component

    Hi,
    is there any way to allow drag and drop of external text (for
    example, selected text from another browser or even from the
    address bar) into a Flex component like TextArea? I know how to
    drag and drop between two different Flex components but in this
    case, the source is external. There must be something I can do to
    TextArea like its dragdrop property to allow this feature... any
    help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Short answer: Yes, as long as it is an AIR app.
    Browser-based Flex apps do not have access to
    ClipBoardFormats, so I'm not sure it is possible to do what I think
    you want to do -- have a web-based Flex app that allows you to drag
    and drop selected text from other apps. Most possibly because of
    the security sandbox that the Flash player runs in.
    However, if you wanted to do it in an AIR app, I built this
    as an example for you (you can view a "cleaner" version with proper
