Dragging music from iTunes not working

When I drag a song from iTunes to the Timeline there is no sound (waveform). The file plays ok when I click it in the Music tab >Itunes > Music folder
Colin

Does the song have DRM protection?

  • 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.

    Do you have iTunes configured to manually manage music and videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes?

  • Dragging music from itunes to finder...

    Hi all -
    When I select and drag a bunch of music from itunes to finder, it often fails to copy if I select too many files. For example, I may want to copy 400 songs to finder, and it will fail unless I do it in 50 song chunks.
    Very rarely it will work. Also, occasionally I will isolate a song that will not copy to finder no matter what.
    An ideas? Is there another way to copy the fles from a playlist - perhaps using the shell or applescript?
    Any advice apreciated!

    The problem is related to the file name.
    If you're trying to copy songs which have the same file name, copying fails (no message, nothing).
    You won't always be able to find the duplicate names using the 'Show Duplicate' command in iTunes, because the songs can belong to different artists.
    If the files names of different songs happens to be the same, copying will fail too.
    The copy command is directed to the Finder, but it will not warn you about duplicate file names. It just fails.

  • Why will my music from iTunes not sync to my iPad?

    I tried to drag music from my library to the iPad and the music files are all in grey. I've have reconnected the iPad but they still will not show. I have also restarted my iPad and computer. All songs and playlist from iTunes are there but are all greyed out. All music synced fine to my iPhone and iPod touch. HELP?!

    I forgot to mention that I am using Windows 8. Don't know if that helps?

  • Dragging music from Itunes to Iphone

    Use it as designed, created playlists of the content you want on the device and sync the playlists, albums, artists, or individual songs.

  • 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.

  • Music from iTunes not playing on my iPhone 5

    I Just installed iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5 (new, reconditioned) and now my music will not play. Only music that i purchased and downloaded from iTunes will play. all of the music plays fine on my computer and iPad. My old iPhone 5 played all of my music without any problem.

  • Data DVD from iTunes not working - please help

    I burned a 4 GB playlist as a data DVD from iTunes 7.
    I am trying to put the files on a PC running iTunes 7, and NOTHING is happening. The drive in the PC is DVD-rom and all other DVD's work fine.
    What's the deal?

    What is "Adding to library"?
    Huh?
    This is how you get songs into iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Inset the DVD.
    Go to File -> Add File (or folder) to iTunes and select the files/folders on the DVD.
    The DVD is not going to show up in iTunes because it is not an audio CD. It is a data DVD.
    Do not try to Import the DVD because Import is used for audio CDs only.

  • Purchased music from itunes not transferring

    I have some music I purchased from itunes on my computer but it won't go onto to ipod touch, it says I am not authorised??? How do I make it so I am authorised??? They went on my old ipod without any problems, are you only allowed to put them on one ipod?
    Thank you in advance for any answers

    You would have to copy the music to a computer that is supported and sync it from there.

  • Can't drag music from iTunes to iPod after restore and sync

    I did a restore on my 80 Gb iPod classic because the 'catalog' became disorganized. The restore (from latest iTunes under Win7) and the sync/loading of songs seemed normal. The iPod works completely normally EXCEPT when connected to iTunes. Then, I can no longer drag albums to the iPod and the iPod song display is in grayed text instead of black.
    My only theory is that I may have responded to a dialog box during sync which showed my very old and no longer used apple ID. iTunes uses my current ID.
    If that IS the case, how do I fix it? Or, what other kinds of things could be wrong?

    Probably. I ran in that mode since the thing was new, only changing after restore because sync is the default and when I uncheck sync music there is this ominous dialog box saying that 'not sync' will cause all of the content to be removed (or words to that effect).
    I'll mess around a little. The worst thing that could happen is losing this tound and going back to restore!
    Thanks

  • Can't Drag Music From iTunes to iPhone 5

    Last night I updated iTunes to the latest version as well as updating my iPhone.
    I rarely add music to my phone via iTunes as it is always an ordeal, but I had a couple of albums I wanted to add last night as I am going away tomorrow.
    I am unable to drag them across. I've tried several suggestions but none of them work.
    I have iTunes Match, and the albums I want to put on my phone are not on the iTunes store. Could this be the issue? I tried turning it off on both the laptop and the phone, but still no luck!
    All of the songs had a small, dotted cloud next to them. I'm not sure what that means but it was there before I tried copying them to the phone.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Guybrush89,
    When you have iTunes Match enabled, the relationship between your iPhone and your iTunes Library is a bit different, especially with regard to syncing. You may find the following articles helpful:

  • AICS4 drag/drop from finder not working

    so I'm a huge fan of dragging and dropping my images from the finder into an AI doc, but suddenly i can no longer do this. yes, all the layers are unlocked and visible, so it's not that. they're RGB images (jpgs, psds, mostly) and the document is RGB, so it's not that.
    did i accidentally hit a keystroke that would prevent this from happening properly? the ai doc window highlights when i drag over it, but then it just sort of twinkles and does nothing.
    i've restarted illustrator, still no go.
    any ideas?
    thank you,
    erika

    I can place the image the slow and boring way, one at a time. however, i cannot drag and drop from Bridge either.
    There's something up with the file. it works fine in a new file. what did I do?

  • Audio CD burn from iTunes not working

    Has anyone had this issue? My Superdrive seems to work fine reading and burning DVDs and data CDs, but burning an audio CD leaves nothing but heavy hiss and rumble.
    I've tried telling the burn to burn at 4x speed, 8x speed and maximum, no difference; I've used Verbatil CD-R and Maxell CD-R, no difference.
    The Superdrive is a Matshita UJ-846. In iTunes prefs, I have Importing set at MP3 encode and lowered the sample rate from 192 kbps to 160 (but that should not affect the burn anyway, correct?).
    Any suggestions apprecaited, and thanks.

    Found the answer. Had the OSS 3D plug-in installed from my original iMac G4, came over with the firewire drive image.
    Deleted all things OSS 3D, and it works fine. Might help someone else.
