Drag & Drop artwork & Add to Library not working

Hi all,
This is only a recent problem, using the latest version of iTunes on my Dell XP PC and I'm upable to drag and drop from Windows Explorer into iTunes. I can add music and artwork into iTunes using the 'Add to Library' option but when I try to drag & drop into iTunes, I get a black circle with a diagonal line through it.
Drag & drop from windows explorer to say my desktop works fine. Any thoughts?

Hi Limnos (your reply has now appeared it must have been a time delay!)
I've tried this and it has now readded all the old mp3 & M4a files but is not adding the new AIFF files any more.
I then tried using apple encoder to covert the files and import as M4a but that doesn't work either.
It's like it doesn't like any of my new folders.
I've tried applying the 'share'/'permissions' to all subfolders of my music folder where the music is stored but this didn't work either.
Any other suggestions v welcome as I'm running out of ideas

Itunes 11 "add to library" not working (drag and drop too)

I just updated to itunes 11 and the add to library function is not working both manually and drag and drop. I used to be able to add a video to the itunes media file, click add to library, click the file and it would pull it in to itunes. None of this works including the drag and drop feature. The preferences folder is set correctly.....please help.

It appears movies added to iTunes manually (not purchased through iTunes), are automatically put in the "Home Movie" media kind/category. I don't remember this kind in previous iTunes, but maybe it's just not one I used. I've seen where this is due to using MetaX, but I don't think so as "Home Movie" is not an option in MetaX. I cannot find any option in iTunes preferences to change this. Maybe Apple will change this in an update - I hope so. For now, I just go in and manually change this in the movie Info setting. I keep all of my movies in digital format, so this is a bit of a pain.

ITunes 10 add to library not working

I was trying to add some MP3's to my iTunes collection tonight and am seeing that iTunes 10 add to library function is not working at all.
Really irritating.

Same issue here and thanks for posting that the location of the iTunes content went back to the default after upgrading to 10....I'm sure I would have been scratching my head over that one for awhile. I've got all my content on Netgear Stora MS2110 home server and after adding a few new MP3s using my Macbook I decided to update my iTunes library on my PC, but using the "File/Add File to Libary" didn't work. Once I updated the path to my content I was able to add at least one of the MP3s on my server to my PC iTunes library using the File drop down menu or drag and drop, but not all of them - strange. Definitely a bug that needs fixing.

Add to library not working iTunes for mac 11.1.5

I am not sure whether I've had a need to add music to my iTunes library since the Mavericks upgrade but I've discovered that I cannot add to Library by any of the usual methods (add to library, drag dropping etc). I've tried folders, individual files and different music formats but with no success.
Nothing happens atall - it's like I didn't even select the command.
I see a number of old threads on this but nothing recent on this version. Has anyone else had this problem and can point me towards a fix. Do I need to downgrade or apply a patch or give up?

Add to Library not working in iTunes 12?

Problem: Drag&Drop over HTML-Elements does not work

Hello everybody,
I developed some sort of Clipboard, which consists of a canvas, on which you can drag around some customized components. These components consist of a panel, in which there is an mx:HTML-component and a text area.
The problem is that clicking into the panel-header area and dragging the component around only works as long as I the mouse pointer does not touch the mx:HTML component. This means, that when dragging the component over the region where its own(!) mx:HTML-component is located, the drag action is terminated. When the component is dragged over another components mx-HTML part, the drag action is also terminated.
Why does this happen?
If source code is needed, just ask and I will upload an example.
Kind regards,
Sebastian

what if u hit design mode
and then switch off the design mode
sometimes this workaround helps
try contacting the basis people and make sure u havent installed the lates gui or something.
somethimes during upgrade or so this functionality doesnt work
i face the same issue.

Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work

Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work. It is only happening on a couple of my site collections and is affecting on the main page of those collections. There is only one web part on the main page, it is the Picture Library Slideshow web part. When
I remove that web part, the menu's come back and work with no problem. I re-add the web part and the menu's stop working. Not finding any error's in the server logs, there are no visual error's thrown. Any advice on what might be happening? I've checked
the Java update on our computers and it has the latest version. Open to any advice at this point.

Please also check if it is related IE compatibility issue.

Add Row Button Not Working

I've read the threads and done numerous searches. Not sure why the add row button isn't working, other buttons work.
Here's what I've found and done.
Print button subform - positioned (have tried flowed, too) allow page breaks
Table: body rows vary   -    Insert wrap in subform - subform flowed - allow page breaks
     row 1 binding - repeat row for each data item - min 1, max 25 (why won't it keep an initial count when I try putting in 1 or 0?)
Form properties - preview in dynamic PDF, interactive   -   PDF render format dynamic xml, run in 9.0 or later (to remove errors)
Insert Row Button in Subform Row 1 Cell 1 (not counting header row) on click, JavaScript run at client tried table.row1.instancemanager.addinstance(1);   also tried full path
saved as dynamic pdf
My hierarchy looks like:
form1   [autofit]
     master pages
          page 1
               untitled content area
     printbuttonSubForm [flowed, top to bottom, allow page breaks]
          untitled subform [flowed, top to bottom, allow page breaks]
               printbutton1
          tablesf    [flowed, top to bottom, allow page breaks]
               table1    [allow page breaks]
                    headerRow
                         cell1
                         cell2 etc
                    Row1   [allow page breaks, repeat row for each data item, min 1, max 25 (why won't it keep an initial count when I try putting in 1 or 0?)]
                         subform   [allow page breaks, repeat row for each data item, min 1, max 25
                                        (why won't it keep an initial count when I try putting in 1 or 0?)]
                              button1    table1.row1.subform1.instanceManager.addinstance(1);
                         cell2, etc
     Referenced objects
Questions:
I click the Add Row button, but nothing happens, why? The print button works.
Found a reference to def instances of same row, what does that mean?
Is my hierarchy correct?
How to set Form1 to flow? Object says mixed objects with no options
Many thanks for your assistance! Leslie

Hi Leslie,
There could be a few things.
First check that the form is saved as Dynamic XML in the save as dialog. If it is saved as Static the add instance will not work.
Make sure that the object you are targetting is set to repeat in the Object > Binding tab
Check your syntax in the script editor (button above the editor). Some of your post is not camel case. For example addInstance and instanceManager. Note the capital letter for the second word.
If you could share your form it would be easier to track down what the problem is. You can use Acrobat.com or YouSendIt.com or some other file sharing site. Just remember to post the published URL.
Good luck,
Niall

PowerPoint add-in is not working when installed for All Users using msi installer.

Hi All,
I have created PowerPoint add-in using c#-vsto. I have created msi installer to install this add-in with following two options:
1. Just me
2. Everyone
However, add-in is not working properly (Events and custom task panes are not working).
I have created registry key as below
1. for "Everyone" : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
2. for Just me : HKPU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
But when I set InstallAllUsersVisible property to False (When add-in is installed only for current user ), then add-in works fine for current user.
Please let me know if anything is missing!!!
Thanks

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to develop the add-in, you'd better post your question to the MSDN forum for VSTO
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=vsto&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

I can't drag and drop or add to library for dvd's that I converted with Bootstrap VideoWizard All-in-one app. hep!

i purchased Bootstrap VideoWizard all-in-one edition and converted my homemade Dvds, but I can't drag and drop the converted files into iTunes or use iTunes file - add to library to add them to iTunes so I can sync them onto my iPad 1. What am I doing wrong? The bootstrap website wasn't any help.

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

Can only add music with Autofill from Library (not working with playlists)

I can only add music using the Autofill feature and it will only work when the main music library is selected. Autofill does not work when a playlist is selected and I can not add music directly by dragging songs from a library or playlist as described in the owner's manual.
Is there something wrong with iTunes, the iPod or is this user error?

Hi Steve,
You're right it's the same for me.
I don't know as you mentionned whether it is an user error or not but I've got 2 iPods now, one is 60 Go color display (60Go) and the other received yesterday is 2G iPod Shuffle (Clipod). I can't drag songs from 60Go nor to iTunes Library neither to Clipod Music. The autofill function works only from iTunes Library where I've got 5 songs only (new MacPro), somebody knows how to export 60Go music to iTunes Library ?
Thanks,
Peloche

Drag and Drop operation of SWT is not working in windows 7

I have created VB script to elevate all administrator permissions to user and launched my application but not able to drop image to label in my application on Windows 7. It works fine if I remove User Account Setting (UAC). Please help how I can solve it.

WTF? What are you talking about?
Drag and drop of what from where to where does not work how?
- What are you dragging?
- From Where?
- To Where?
- What do you expect to happen?
- What happens?
- Why do you expect that to happen?
- What technologies are you using?

"File / Add File To Library" Not Working For Particular File

I believe I chose to delete a podcast. iTunes asked if I wanted to totally delete the file, or to leave it in a 'media file'. I didn't know what this meant so I chose to just leave it in a 'media file'. As expected, the podcast could no longer be seen in the iTunes Library / podcasts.
Later I performed: "File / Add File To Library" of that same podcast (ie. an .mp3 file). The file does not seem to be anywhere in the Library. I'm wondering if it is not added because it thinks it is in some "media file" which cannot be seen within iTunes? No error message was given saying the file was already there; however, when i attempt to add other podcasts from the same directory on my computer, iTunes has no problem adding other podcasts.
I've changed the directory to a different location on my harddrive, as well as changed the name of the podcast all to no avail. And spent 4 hours with this and am ready to pull my hair out.
I think iTunes will not add this file because it thinks it is already there, although from no where in iTunes can i find it (ie. not under 'music', not under 'podcast', etc.).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"Won't add to library and doesn't give an error message" is usually a sign of minor corruption in the MP3 file. Treat it with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3val, and then it should be able to be added to your iTunes library.
