Help! Why can't I drag songs to playlists??

I don't know if it's related to iTunes 10, or it's something I somehow accidentally did, but whenever I try to drag a song to a playlist, nothing happens; the highlighted song just floats back to the middle of my screen. The little green plus sign I am used to seeing does not appear. What happened? How do I fix this?

I am having the same problem. I created a new playlist but when I left click on the song and choose "add to playlist" it doesn't have the new playlist name that I just created as an option. It will not let me drag and drop into the playlist either. I'll keep checking back to see if anyone else has a solution to this.

Why can't I drag songs in itunes anymore?

I have been using itunes forever, I have had many many ipods over the years and I have never had an issue with any of it. All of the sudden I can't drag songs from my library to an ipod or even to a playlist. Anyone have any idea why?

Due to a complete lack of information and details it is impossible to say.

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice? And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air. Not sure if this will help you but...
In your itunes client music library:
Right click on one music file
Hover over the Add to Playlist option
Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
See if that helps move the music file over. If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file. The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Why can't i drag clips to timeline?

I'm new.
Why can't i drag clips to timeline? I set in and out points but clips will not drag.

So it sounds like you're dragging from the source monitor and not from the project window. Either way, is it creating a new sequence for you when you drop it in over the blank timeline? If not what IS it doing? What version of pr are you using?

Yes they can, you are correct. I should have maybe said that in my post. I was merely trying to say that I believe they want to keep the iPhone more organized. I got out of dragging and dropping to my iPod after I created my first playlist. Makes things a lot eaiser just to sync a list.
