Having trouble moving songs from iPhone Music section to a playlist in 10.6.1

I'm able to import songs from my computer to my iTunes just fine.  However, it seems that with version 10.6 of iTunes I can't drag a song from my iTunes Music section on my iPhone 4S to a playlist.  The song will highlight in the Music section but drag & drop are not working.  I don't recall having this problem in version 10.5 of iTunes.  Anybody else have this issue?  Is there a fix or do I have to wait for version 10.7?  Thanks for the assistance.

Thank you for that. It all looks like it should work except for step 12:
From the Advanced menu, choose Consolidate Library. A message appears that says: "Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes Music folder. This cannot be undone."
There is no button that says consolidate library. Not even on the example picture they have.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

    I hope this information helps ....

  • I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

    I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

    Make sure your device iOS is updated:

  • I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive.  Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  Can someone please help?

    I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive.  During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this.  I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with.  Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

    iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
    I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
    Needs clarification.  You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer.  So which are you trying to do?  Either way, sounds like a browser issue.  You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

  • Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

    OK.  I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created.  And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist.  I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either.  I even talked to a supervisor.  He was stumpped.  It looks like a bug has infected the system.  I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem.  I believe if it works, don't update.  
    I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
    This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
    Help!

    "ok and how exactly do i do that? "
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup?  That is not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphon:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Cannot add or delete songs from iPhone Music

    As a precursor, I have owned my iPhone for over 3 years and this is the first encounter with this issue:
    Since purchasing iTunes Match, I can no longer manage my music on my iPhone.  I can neither add nor delete songs from the phone.  I have over 52G's of music on iTunes and upon synching my phone, itunes indescriminately adds the songs... random songs from random albums.  I've tried to delete the music from my phone, but that option is not permitted (the delete button is grey and not an option).
    How can I add (from my iTunes library) and delete music from my iPhone 4?  My synching preferences are checked as Manual for music transfer to my phone, yet I have absolutely no control of adding or deleting music content?
    What am I doing wrong?

    When you enable iTunes Match on your phone you can no longer manage your music using iTunes, you have to download it from iCloud.  With iTunes Match, when you play a song it simultaneously downloads in the background.  You can also download complete albums by going to the album and tapping on the cloud download icon.  Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to delete music once downloaded is to delete all music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swiping All Music and tapping Delete.  Hopefully they will restore the option to deleted individual songs again in a future update.

  • How do I remove a previously purchased song from iPhone music

    I have removed the song from my iTunes purchased list on my mac, however it still shows up in my songs list on my iPhone withthe down load cloud icon. It still plays as if in the library when connected. There =does not seem to be a way to remove it. Swiping from right to left does not work to remove.

    You can hide your iCloud Purchases, so they will not show any longer:

  • Having Trouble getting data from iphone 4 to itunes so I can ultimately transfer to 4s.

    Original itunes machine is dead, so I deauthorized all machines and authorized current machine and couldn't sync items from phone to machine. Apple then told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall, have done so but still can't get it to sync all items from phone to itunes library. (It only synced purchased songs, none of the apps)  I want all the data on my phone to go to my computer, not what is on computer but can't get there. Any suggestions?

    Media sync (music videos, etc.) is 1 way. Computer to iPhone. Items purchased on the phone can be transferred using File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes. If you have music on the phone that was synced to it from another computer but not purchased from iTunes, you will either have to use the backup of your old computer to get it on the new one, as suggested above, or invest in 3rd party software to extract it from the phone.

  • HT4959 Having trouble syncing photos from iPhone 4S to Aperture 3.3

    When I connected my iPhone 4S to my MAC to update photos, Aperture is my default, it will prompt me to import my photos from my iPhone.  Last night because apparently mobileme has been discontinued, it prompted me about something to do with a library and when I clicked OK, the downloading bar showed but nothing was downloading.  I had to 'force quit' in order to be able to go to another application.
    What am I doing wrong?  I've never been able to use mobileme as an email account as my carrier is verizon.net.  Any advice?

    Appears to be a bug. Click on the Learn More button.  That should stop any attempt at downloading and take you to an Apple website which you can close and then continue with what you were doing.

    hiya!
    hmmmm. some other connection issues have been known to cause the -69, although under those circumstances people more typically get the "disk cannot be read from or written to" error message.
    working on that theory, let's see if anything in this document helps:

  • Having Trouble Moving Apps From One Page to Another

    I can easily move apps around on the same page. But I can't seem to move an app from one page to another. They stop at the side of the screen and won't move to the next page. Is there a secret to this or does it take fancy dexterity?

    It takes a little dexterity but if you have 9 pAges of apps then it takes pure magic to move any to the
    Tenth page. I still haven't been able to do it. I've discovered how to delete those pesky defAult apps though. You put them on the ninth page then drag another app onto page nine and push the other one right off. Disappears forever

  • I am having trouble uploading movies from iPhone to Mac

    My wife shot a short (4 minute) video on her iPhone 5 and it will not upload to her MacBook Air. It said it was too large. Any suggestions please?

    You might have to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer it over wifi to your Mac, or use 3rd party software such as PhoneView to transfer it.

  • Having trouble moving files from iWeb to iTunes

    I recently added a podcast page to my website www.soapboxhavoc.com and would like to submit it to iTunes. All goes well until iTunes asks for the file location. I put in the page url but it didn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Is this the link you're submitting?

    If it is, you have a couple minor errors to fix as shown at this testing site.
