Help - I cannot add files to my playlist.

I am using iTunes 7 and I cannot drag .mp3 files into my playlist nor can I import them via the file menu.
When I drag and drop or add manually nothing happens at all. I have checked and double checked the file types. They are all .mp3 and they all display the iTunes icon. What am I missing here??
Thank you.

I have the same problem as well in both my PowerBook & my gf's PC laptop. Ever since we updated to 7.6.2 we have been unable to add/import any songs to iTunes Library. I tried File>Open, double-click file on desktop, drag & drop, but nothing works. Songs count stays the same value so to confirm nothing has been added to it. All other functions worked fine including playing, streaming, burning, sync to iPhone/iPod nano, etc.
I'm on TiBook G4 with 10.4.11, while my gf's PC is on WinXP-SP2. Both machines have all the latest updates. On both machines we did uninstall & reinstall iTunes but didn't help. On the Mac side I also deleted the pref files to ensure a clean install.
We can't do anything right now but to wait for the next update comes and hopefully the problem will be corrected.

  • Updated itunes to 10.4.1.10 on Windows XP. Now cannot add files or album covers. please help

    Installed latest version of itunes when prompted yesterday. Using hp compaq laptop running Windows XP. Now cannot add files to library or add albulm covers. Tried to play new mp3s from external drive, that I was trying to add. got message saying "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error7 (windows error 1455)"
    Have also had a couple of  "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" forced shutdowns. Cannot find files to reinstall and itunes is telling me I am using the current version.
    Infuriating!!! Can you help me please?

    Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
    Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.

    Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • IBooks stays blank - cannot add files to library

    My iBooks library is simply blank. I cannot see the files I 'added' to the library. I cannot see the files it supposibly imported from my iTunes (which now no longer has a 'Books' section.
    Even tho i can open pdf's on my iPhone 5 just fine, none of those files can be seen anywhere in iBooks on my Macbook Air (Maverick), even tho iCloud i enabled and works fine in all other apps.
    When i try to add files to my library it asks me if i want to replace the files they match that are already in it (again, these files cannot be seen), but it makes no difference whether i tell it yes-replace or no-cancel at that point: my iBooks stays blank.
    I cannot uninstall iBooks because it says it is required by OS X.
    When i open the app, view its info or try to delete it my whole laptop laggs.
    Someone please please help. I haven't been this frustrated with a computer since i was still using pc's

This has just change in the last couple of weeks, before that there was no problem attaching files to either account. Finally frustrated beyond my limit, I switched to I Explorer and attached three files and everything worked fine. Hence, it must be aFirefox problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Help!

  • I bought a song on my iphone and even after syncing I cannot add it to a playlist other than purchased. I dont want to buy the song 2x!

    I cought a song thru itunes on my iphone 4s and when I try to sync to my library, it still wont let me copy/paste or drag/drop the song into a playlist. It is stuck in the "purchased on your iphone list" and that blows! HELP!

    Hi lini08,
    The article below will show you how to transfer purchased music from the iPhone to your computer.
    The article has more details and screen shots, but the basic information is quoted below.
    Once the song is on your computer, select Music > Songs or search for the song in your library.
    You should be able to add it to any playlist you want.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
    Or, you can Show Sidebar from the View menu, and then right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • [SOLVED] Cannot Add Files to Existing Briefcases; New Briefcases OK

    I have a user - probably the only user I can recall ever using this feature - that is unable to add files to existing briefcases.
    When attempting to drag & drop a file into a briefcase (any) a small window or pop-up appears & disappears and the file isn't present.  The pop-up displays and hides all too fast for us to see what was written as it happened well under a second.
    The problem seems specific to the existing briefcases:
    If the user creates a new briefcase, and copies the files from the old briefcase into the new, just like above nothing actually gets copied into the new briefcase.
    If the user copies the files from the old briefcase into their desktop, then copies the files from the desktop into the new briefcase, it works fine.
    So the current fauxlution (faux+solution) is to go through the latter process, but they have a few dozen briefcases and that's going to take some time.
    To be quite candid, I'm not entirely sure where to begin - how does one go about fixing a broken briefcase?

    Hi,
    Sorry but I'm afraid to say that with limited information, it's somewhat hard to find out what exactly happened. What is the result when copying from a new briefcase to another new briefcase directly? Are there anything recorded in the event viewer?
    Might be helpful for troubleshooting.
    Since we're unable to reproduce this issue, I recommend you use process monitor to trace the process when copying the files form old to new briefcase.

  • Cannot add file to Documentum. "Create" operation failed for object id=null

    Upgraded ro Frame 11 recently and now I cannot add a new document to Documentum. I get the following error.
    I still have Frame 10 installed and can check in the document with it, but Frame 11 does not recognize it as a FrameMaker file.

    A version of the CMS interface became available later that resolves this issue. Unfortunately, I don't see a link to it.

    (prenote: I have completed the 5 R's)
    I do not seem to be able to add a file to the iPod with the Add File function like I used to in version 6 of iTunes. I now have to Import File for the podcasts and mp3's which I would like to add. Then, when these are imported to my library, the iPod begins having difficulty being recognized by iTunes.
    Is there an update coming for v. 7 ??

  • Cannot add file in time machine to ignore list

    Hi,
    I have here Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and bought a time capsule.
    I have parallels installed as VM and file fault is activate for my home directory (I'm the only user on the mac book pro).
    Now I wanted to added the paralles harddisk to the ignore.
    But time machine does not allow it.
    If I open the options all file in my home dir are greyed out.
    How can I add files in my homedir to a ignore list in time machine?
    TIA
    Matthias

    sry, maybe I understood you wrong.
    If I change one file on my file fault (which is around 40GB of size) does time machine then backup the complete sparse file again or only transmit the change?
    it only backs up the changes. that's why sparse bundles were introduced in leopard - precisely to deal with this very issue. a sparse bundle disk image as opposed to a regular sparse disk image is split in a number of small bands (8Mb in size by default). when TM does incremental backups it only backs up afresh new and changed bands and hard links the unchanged bands to existing backup copies. that makes backing up sparse bundles using TM somewhat bearable. if you try to back up a regular disk image with TM it will back it up afresh after any change however tiny to its contents. that would quickly fill up the backup drive if you are talking about a 40GB disk image.
    If it only transmit the change I can move out my parallels disk to the folder All Users and ignore the file here.

  • HELP! Cannot copy files off Time Capsule

    I have a 1TB Time Capsule (DualBand) that I use like a NAS (network attached storage). Time Machine is disabled, but I manually copy files on the Time Capsule's disk when I want to back them up, and share them with other computers in my house.
    I am trying to copy all of the files of the Time Capsule to a 2 TB Firewire 800 drive connected to my MacBook Pro, but I'm having a problem. About half-way through the the copy process (which is estimated to be an over-night ordeal) the Time Capsule is disconnected and I get the error:
    +The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data+
    +in "" could not be read or written.+
    +(Error code -36)+
    Also, the disconnected Time Capsule is still visible in the SHARED portion of my Finder's sidebar, but it is impossible to connect to the disk again, unless I unplug the Time Capsule and power it back up.
    Every time I try the process, I receive the same error, and have to restart my Time Capsule again. Could someone please help me get my data off my Time Capsule? I would prefer not to have to resort to ripping it open, so I can put the drive into my USB Toaster.
    NOTE: I've tried repairing disk permissions on my MBP and repairing disk on my 2TB external drive. I've found no way to do any of these kinds of things on the Time Capsule's internal disk.

    I don't have a direct solution to your disconnection problem, but if your 2 TB drive has a USB port, you may be able to connect it to your Time Capsule and use the "Archive" function (in AirPort Utility's Disks/Disks panel) to copy that data from the Time Capsule disk.
