HELP-Songs can no longer be dragged into playlists on my Itunes

I have noticed recently that I can no longer click and 'drag' my songs from my library play list, to other playlists on itunes. Is there another way I can transfer specific songs from the library to my playlists? Or is there a way I can fix it so I can continue to drag my songs from the library to other playlists?
Thank you!

Are you trying to drag songs to a regular or a smart playlist? You cannot drag songs to a smart playlist, instead you have to make the tags match the smart playlists conditions (or make the conditions match the tags). If you are having problems dragging to a regular playlist, try opening that playlist in a second window by double clicking on it, move it aside so you can see both iTunes windows, and try dragging the song from the Library into the playlist's window.

  • Five minutes later"this song can no longer be made into a ringtone"

    I downloaded a song that had the bell next to it. Five minutes later, it's downloaded, and I click the bell icon to make my ringtone. A box popped up that said "this song cannot be made into a ringtone- this song can no longer be made into a ringtone"
    What's up with that??? I already had this song in my library. I only downloaded it again so that I could make the ringtone, and now it won't work. Anybody know what to do??
    Thanks, Kelly

    I am having the SAME issue - I just bought a song 2 days ago that clearly had the bell icon next to it. Right after downloading the song I clicked "create ringtone" and received the same error message "this song can no longer be made into a ringtone". SO I called iPhone - they can't help...so I emailed iTunes and I am getting the total run around. I clearly explained this issue to which they have replied with FAQs on ringtones and articles on how to download ringtones, duh. I re-authorized my computer, restarted it, on and on...still nothing. It seems like iTunes support wants to ignore my true problem and just keep running me around in circles.

  • Song can no longer be made into a ringtone

    I just purchased and downloaded a song. I go into store - create a ringtone and I get the message that this song can no longer be made into a ringtone.
    Any ideas what this means and how to fix?
    Thanks,

    When you download songs in iTunes only those with a little bell symbol are able to be made into a ringtone...
    Or you can use DRM free media to make your own ringtones in Garage Band

  • Songs Bought from iTunes Store Can No Longer Be Made Into Ringtones???

    I just tried to make a ringtone with a song I bought from the iTunes store a couple of months ago - it's telling me "This song can no longer be made into a ringtone."
    Is there an expiration date on songs purchased from the iTunes store??? Incredibly lame if so.

    are you guys sure those songs can be made into ringtones? you can't just purchase any song and make it a ringtone it actualy must have the ringtone bell next to it. i purchased the new kanye cd and i got those messages when i tried to convert some of his songs which had no bells...amybe this is your problem?

  • Can no longer be made into a ringtone

    I purchased Jump by Van Halen even though I already own the song from a cd. When I tried to make a ring tone (it has a bell by it in itunes store and my library) it tells me "Jump by Van Halen can no longer be made into a ringtone".
    I can not find a link on Apple's support site to ask them. Any help?

  • After purchase: ". . . can no longer be made into a ringtone"

    I figured I'd get my first ringtone.
    Maybe it was a bad choice, but "Mandy" by Barry Manilow was there, with the ringtone bell. My daughter's name. I knew it would make her crazy!
    Immediately after I downloaded it, I went to make the ringtone- and a dialog box came up that said "'Mandy' by Barry Manilow can no longer be made into a ringtone."
    C'mon, Apple! Is there any other reason I would buy that song? How do I get my 99 cents credited back?

    When you get your iTunes statement via email, there is a link for each song that says, "Report a problem." Click on the link adjacent to the song you have issue with, follow the prompts and send your issue to Apple.
    They usually respond in less than a day.

  • Sophisticated Lady by Billie Holiday can no longer be made into a ringtone

    Despite the fact the I already own several versions of this song on CD, I suckered myself into buying it from iTunes just so that I could make it into a ringtone for my iPhone.
    Once it finished downloading iTunes cheerfully tells me: "Sophisticated Lady" by Billie Holiday can no longer be made into a ringtone.
    I wonder, was I too slow? Were there just too many people making this song into ringtone so now the ringtone quota for "Sophisticated Lady" has been filled?
    What annoys me is there is no way of knowing, that I can tell, if a song can be made in to a ringtone or not. So, if you already own the music, it's a gamble. You have to buy the song from iTunes and then try to make it into a ringtone. If you're lucky it'll work. You can't just buy the ringtone. You have to buy the song, and then the ringtone, which is 2 * $0.99 + whatever else you payed for the music.

    I think there are several people having issues with the ringtone icon not properly appearing for songs that can be made into tones. Also, there seems to be quite a bit of music that once could be made into ringtones that can no longer be made into songs. I get that for several of the Van Halen songs that initially were able to be made into ringtones, but that no longer can be. For example I get the error message "Eruption" by Van Halen can no longer be made into a ringtone.
    If anyone else has figured this out, please let us know.

  • "...can no longer be made into a ringtone" why not, I ask

    I purchased a song on itunes today (a song that I already owned!) for the purpose of creating a ringtone.
    Went to the Purchased folder, highlighted the song, selected "create ringtone", had to login to itunes store again, clicked Buy...then I was presented with a window:
    *This song cannot be made into a ringtone:*
    "wheres your head at" by Basement Jaxx can no longer be made into a ringtone
    What gives? How can I fix this issue? Using itunes version 7.4.1.2

    That song can not be a ringtone. Not all songs have been authorized by their owners for use with ringtones. Its a nuance of copyright law.
    However, iTunes has been updating this information all day so it may become available in the future.

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • Songs can no longer be put on back up disk though that was what my original "contract" was when I furchased tunes.

    Songs can no longer be burned on back up disk so if one changes comp.  GODBY SONGS...

    They can, when backed up outside of iTunes as you would back up any other file.

  • I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store

    I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store.
    After I sign in, and want to leave a review I get the following message: "You must own this item to write a Customer Review. In order to write a Customer Review for this item you must have purchased or downloaded it."
    I used to be able to write and edit my reviews which I have done! But now I can't anymore even though I have bought and/or downloaded several apps. iTunes won't let me write a review anyway.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have the same problem (for Mac and iPhone apps) and contacted Apple about this.
    The English speaking support said it is a known error and that they are working on a solution. The German support however (which I contacted first, unfortunately) gave me a refund of the apps I wrote them as an example. They told me I should buy them again – which is not possible, since the MacAppStore then gives the message "You have already purchased this app..." Ironically, for one of the two apps I was finally able to write a review, even at this point it wasn't listed in the purchased apps list anymore.
    I've never asked for a refund, and it's causing me more trouble than I had before: now I cannot update these refunded apps anymore (since they are not listed in the "Purchased" list). So I have to check manually if there is a new update (comparing version numbers) and then delete the app and "purchase" it again. Of course I would simply buy the apps from the developer directly, however, they are MacAppStore only.
    When I asked the AppStore support about a solution for this problem, they said it's technically not possible to write reviews for refunded apps (? yes, of course they were not really reading what I wrote them. I guess support at Apple is done by Siri now) and gave 10 free iTunes songs.
    I think reviews are very important for both customers and developers and it's not just a minor inconvenience, but a serious problem; what is especially disturbing, is that it's not the same for all apps: for Pixelmator, I had no problems to post a review, for Jumsoft's "Relationship" it doesn't work, for some apps it worked immediately, for some after a few weeks, for some never.

  • HT204053 I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes.  Previous version of iTunes accepted the music and allowed me to sync it to my iPod.  What do I do?

    I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes.  Previous version of iTunes accepted the music.  Now, I have a group of songs that will not sync to my iPod because it is associated with the old AOL account.  What do I do?

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!
