Drag & drop from iTunes

I'm a DJ and I use iTunes as my main music library/management system. Before, I could use iTunes seamlessly with my music production software as I could drag & drop a song from iTunes into my music software, but now, after running the auto update for iTunes, I discovered that Apple disabled this function. For me this option is critical. Can the powers that be at Apple pls pls pls pls restore this function, my life is **** without this function

Have you talked to the developer of your DJ software to see if they have an update or workaround? Drag-and-drop from iTunes to the desktop still works just fine, so the function hasn't been completely removed. Your production software may need an update to work directly with the new version of iTunes.
Regards.

  • Program Closes if I Drag Music from iTunes

    My iDVD '08 program closes as soon as I attempt to drag music from iTunes into the DVD clip for sound/music. I have made previous DVDs in the past using this program and have never had this problem. Steps I have taken so far:
    1. Restarted the computer;
    2. Checked for updates to the program/computer (everything up-to-date);
    3. Attempted to save the project under a different name;
    4. Started an entirely new project.
    None of these steps have worked so far. Any suggestions?

    Hi fatbum
    Welcome to apple discussions. First quit iDvd. Then drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash if you haven't already, restart your mac and then repair permissions from apple's disc utility.
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    You state you have run software updater already, Good. Now I'd like you Not to turn off your mac for at least 24 hours. Set energy saver controls to never. Screen saver is ok but do not allow the hard drive to sleep. Then try iDvd again. Sometimes it takes a while for the OS to fully index so please be patient.
    Please verify you have no less than 25 GB's of available hard drive space remaining on the boot volume (your main HD). Otherwise all of the above is in vain.

  • My iPod touch is plugged into PC. My iPod is shown, but when I drag content from iTunes library to it I end up with an error message that says it "Cannot copy item" then "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."  What to do???

    Yes you can drag and drop music to the iPiod if you select Manually Manage Music and Videos in  iTunes.

  • Just upgraded to iTunes 10.4 - Now I can't drag files from iTunes to Garageband

    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    I do a podcast and keep my bed music, sfx and whatnot in iTunes. When I need something I just drag it from iTunes and into GarageBand (4.1.2).
    I upgraded iTunes last night (10.4) and now it no longer allows me to drag directly into GarageBand. I have to drag the file out of iTunes, then move it to GB.
    Anyone else have this problem and find a fix?

    Well, just finished my weekly podcast using Garageband and the "new and improved" iTunes. Here are the clunkers I've found:
    1. Original problem of not being able to drag from iTunes to GarageBand. JamButty, I'll try out your workaround... for this show I literally had to drag all of the files I needed out of iTunes into a folder... Then why use iTunes at all?! Really stupid.
    2. I noticed when I dragged the final show off of iTunes to a folder I use to upload to my S3 account, it now just has the black mp3 icon... not the image I use for the show. Granted, not a functional problem, but just stupid none the less why they would eliminate that.
    3. Show notes in the metadata. Usually I'd copy my first paragraph of show notes (what goes on the web page) into Info > Comments in the metadata. And, if was too long, it would just chop off the end of it. This time I got a "bink" sound and nothing copied in. Tried it a couple of different ways with the same results until I figured out to just put half the copy in. Again, stupid, useless, time-consuming change.
    I love Apple to death, but I hate what they do sometimes. The make a great product... then eventually screw it up with dumb changes (for example, the latest version of Final Cut)

  • Can't drag songs from itunes onto anything (desktop, flash drive, etc.)

    This is weird.
    All of a sudden, I can't drag songs from itunes onto the desktop, any folder on my hard drive, my flash drive, or my spare hard drive. On a health computer, if you drag a large number of files, first they land as white icons and they fill in as they get transferred. With my computer, the white icons stick around for a few second and then disappear. The first time I try, I can transfer 1-10 files successfully. After that it stops working. Here is what I've done.
    1] Upgraded my system from 10.3.X to 10.4.5
    2] I upgraded itunes from 7.0 to 7.3.1
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Since I can not edit my own post I'll have to reply to myself... Sorry for the "spam" on the forums.
    I DID find something out (while playing with this some more)...
    Try and copy as many songs as you can with UNIQUE titles. I've noticed that when you drag the songs in iTunes to the desktop (or a folder) the file it creates/copies is named like so: "songtitle.mp3."
    Apparently the Finder and iTunes don't play well together [enough] to prevent several files of the same name from appearing - in most OS's I've played with (Linux and Windows, in addition to other Apple & Mac OS's over the years) there's a mechanism for handling this... Windows just adds a number to the end the of the second (and all future occurring) file(s) of the same name - as does most Linux builds I've used... Apparently the Finder in OS X just doesn't do anything - at all - when it discovers this "name error."
    What I had to do (I was copying my Christmas music - do you know how many "Jingle Bells.mp3" files you can have?!) was make many folders or manually rename EACH FILE one by one so that others could be copied in the same place since the file name would always be JUST THE SONG NAME and the extension (and I do tend to keep my files in higher bitrate MP3 format for easier shuffling from OS to OS as I tend to use (in case you've not noticed) many different ones at any given time).
    So, try avoiding any songs with the same title (or altering the title in iTunes somehow), or make separate folders to keep the same song name files from being created in the same place; and see if that doesn't clear this problem up for you - it did for me. ^_^
    And sorry for being so "wordy" on this post. ^_^;

  • Drag & Drop from Outlook into SAP BDS (sales order, deliveries, etc.)

    Hello everyone,
    I have some problems with Email archiving between SAP ECC 6.0 and Outlook 2007. The overall scenario should look like:
    Outlook (drag&drop) --> SAP object like e. g. sales orders as Business Document --> third party archive.
    The problem we are facing starts with the false or maybe non existing drag & drop function for Outlook. The direct drag&drop from Outlook only creates a textline in SAPs Business Document. There ist no problem at all if we store the Email on the hard drive in .msg format and afterwards drag&drop it to the Business Document.
    Is there any way to skip the latching on the hard drive and communicate directly between  SAP and Outlook? Otherwise how do you handle this problem?
    Thank you.

    Is there no one else who got this problem?

  • Drag & Drop from JTree (String) to JTextArea (Graphics2D)

    Hi everyone,
    I want to create a Drag & Drop from a JTree node to any location in a JTextArea. Upon dropping the node onto the JTextArea, I would want to draw a rectangle and the node name.
    I've created a custom transfer handler which allows the transferring of text from the tree node to the JTextArea.
    Any general ideas on how I can do that are wlecomed.

    I've managed to get hold of the JPanel via TransferHandler.TransferSupport.getComponent()
    the source seems a bit more tricky. I've tried this
    Transferable tr = support.getTransferable();
                   DataFlavor f = new DataFlavor();
                   f = new DataFlavor(MyTreeNode.class,"MyTreeNode");
                   try {
                        Object o = tr.getTransferData(f);...
    but the source does not provide a MyTreeNode instance, but something else (a String, I guess)
    how can I change this?

  • No drag 'n drop from itunes to finder

    I see a lot of quenstions about drag and drop in itunes, or from finder to itunes, but when I want to copy something out of itunes to a thumb drive, it doesn't work.
    at first I can drag n drop and it start copying, but at one moment, it just won't copy. When I hover over the finder screen with my load of songs, they won't stick. for a brief moment it worked again after a restart of my macbook, but this was one time only. Then it wasn't possible again.
    Anybody with the same problem or maybe a solution?

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    This of course presumes it's Apple's problem to correct, and not a design change with Toast. Meanwhile, Toast (at least Toast 10) provides the Media Browser with which to select from your iTunes library.
    I also presume that you're only giving your friends tracks that are in the public domain or of which they already own legal copies, yes?
