Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library

Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library. Both computers are authorized and both have "homesharing" turned on. Any help?

Rather than dragging and dropping, try this.
In the computer you're moving music to, select the home shared library you're moving music from, as per the following screenshot:
Select the songs you want to transfer. Now click the "Import" button down in the the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen, as per the following screenshot:

  • Why can't I drag and drop songs onto my iPod touch?

    I can not drag and drop Songs into my songs folder. The iOS is 5.1.1. Please suggest some way outs

    To drag and drop you have to have iTunes set up to manually manage music. See:

  • I can't drag and drop songs onto my iPod from iTunes. (Manual transfer is not working.)  Please help!

    Normally, I just select songs and I'm able to drag and drop them from my library onto my device.  I have an iPod Touch and an iPhone 4.  I want to drag and drop my songs from the library onto my iPod Touch.  I have already selected manual upload instead of automatic sync.  I tried suggestions from the Mac message board (since other people seem to have had a similar issue), and their solutions didn't work for me.  I have restarted both iTunes, my computer, and reconnected my iPod multiple times.  I don't know what's going on, and I can't find a fix anywhere in iTunes help.  If anyone knows what to do, or has any suggestions, please let me know!  Thanks.

    Update: I seem to have fixed the problem!  I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes.  I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option.  The songs are syncing!  And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now!  Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem.  There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

  • Can't Drag and Drop songs onto Shuffle. Autofill Doesn't work either

    I know that many people have been having this same problem.
    The Shuffle is recognized by the computer AND even iTunes. It shows up in the playlist, but when you try to Autofill or even Drag and Drop the songs individual, the songs, for lack of a better term, don't stick.
    It was working perfectly when my daughter first got it for Christmas, and now, this happens. We have already had to return one shuffle.
    Does this one have the same fate???
    HELP!
    Shuffle   Windows XP   1 GB

    Same problem here too. Was workiong fine about a month ago. When looking at songs in my Shuffle Library the new ones I have manually dragged accross appear with a 'dot' beside the track number - it is these songs which are not being transferred to the shuffle. I can't even get the message at the top of iTunes to say "Ipod Shuffle is Connected & Updating - Do Not disconnect." I have updated iTunes to latest version and completed all Shuffle updates. What's the go? Is the only solution to have the shuffle replaced? Seems very strange it used to work and now it doesn't - nothing had changed in the intervening period. Appears I'm not the only one with this issue. Does anyone have an answer?

  • In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore.

    In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore. I can still drag and drop songs onto my iPod and I can still drag and drop podcasts into other playlists. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod and I've also checked for software updates for the iPod and iTunes. Help?

  • Can't drag and drop songs into a new playlist

    I can't seem to drag and drop songs from my itunes library into a new playlist in order to burn a cd.  Any suggestions?  I've tried closing out and restarting but that didn't work.  thanks!

    You may have clicked one of the categories that reordered your sonds (ie Name or Artist). This make is override any drag and drop. To allow drag & drop within a playlist:
    Look near the top at the Title of your playlist
    Click on the far left hand column (probably has numbers in it). This organinzed songs by the numbers listed there instead of by Name or Artist or whatever....
    Now you should be able to drag & drop.
    Hope this helps. Blessings!

  • ITunes 11.1 and iOS 7.0.3 won't allow me to drag-and-drop videos onto my iPad?

    I finally updated my iPad 2 (16 GB; Wi-Fi) with the new iOS 7 update (7.0.3), and now it won't let me drag-and-drop items from my iTunes library anymore. It starts to, it seems.  iTunes says "Preparing to sync" and then that just disappears, and nothing else happens.
    Just the other night, I drag-and-dropped some songs onto my iPad (since my iPhone wasn't allowing me to, so I added them to my iPad instead; I'm getting a new iPod touch soon anyways, so this is only temporary), and it worked just fine.  This was before I updated my iOS 7 (iTunes was already at 11.1).
    I've restarted iTunes...many times...
    I've restarted my iPad...many, many times...
    I've restarted the PC...again...
    Checked my storage space; I have plenty for these six videos I want to add on here...
    I have had this iPad set on "manually manage" since I bought it.  It has never known any different.  I've manually synced movies from my old MacBook (backlight dead, and it's not worth the money I'd have to pay to replace it, since this is the second-to-last MacBook Apple made, so it isn't worth much anymore; and this MacBook still has Mac OSX 10.5, so iTunes 11 won't even work with it, so I haven't synced anything from it in MONTHS...), and to my last PC laptop (charging port is broken, so it won't charge even though it works fine when the battery is full; unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to ordering the new part yet).  I've only added three songs from this "new PC" that I'm borrowing.  To my knowledge, it doesn't matter how many different libraries you "sync" to a "manually managed" device, right?  Besides, I just synced music from this third library last week!! 
    What I just don't understand is why it let me the other day, and now it won't.
    And before I updated tonight, my PC didn't even recognize my iPad.  So I pretty much HAD to install that iOS 7 update that had been in my Settings since it came out.
    What is going on? I'm kind of sick of this...the only option it seems is to just completely sync to this one computer, but I'll lose pretty much everything except the few songs I put on here, and my videos.  I have pictures and apps and notes/documents that I DO NOT want to lose.
    Any suggestions?

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.

    GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.  It did before, now all of a sudden it won't... anyone know why?
    I am dragging them from iTunes, and it has never been an issue before.  I have used AAC, MP3, and AIFF before and never had an issue.
    Is there a setting possibly that I need to change?

    Same with me, Lion is a cool OS but the updates iTunes has nothing but problems. I can't even drag song to my desktop. You can try finding the song through iTunes music folder but the song I wanted wasn't there. To get there look at this artical http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391. to help you find that song.

  • ITunes won't allow me to drag and drop songs into playlists

    Running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4 (80).
    I cannot drag and drop songs within iTunes to create playlists or move songswithin playlists.
    Here's what I've already tried:
    -Reset iTunes Store cahce
    -Log out & in of iTunes Store
    -Quit & Restart itunes
    -Rebuilt iTunes library (by moving iTunes Library.xml file and getting rid of .itl file)
    -Checked info on iTunes folders so that permissions are both read & write
    -Restart computer
    -dug through a discussion of this problem on MacRumors and none of those solutions worked.
    Getting frustrated and hate that I have to dig around in discussions and wait for the community to figure this out instead of Apple answering and solving the problem when their software doesn't work.
    Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Aaaarrgh!

    No, I haven't had any solution to this problem. None of the myriad of possible solutions work. Doesn't someone from Apple monitor these boards? I've given up in getting it fixed and am seriously ****** at the lack of response on Apple's part without me paying for an answer. This is a ridiculous way to support software, where I have to troll around a discussion board hoping someone stumbled upon a solution and will actually reply to this thread.
    Considering the amount of Apple products that I own, you'd think I could get a freakin' response. Here's are the amount of apple products in my house, all bought within the past 3 years-
    Mac Pro Quad Core
    15" MacBook Pro
    13" Macbook Air
    3 Mac Minis
    Three iPad's
    2 iPhone 4's
    2 iPod Touch's
    But because it's on my Mac Pro, which is 1 1/2 years old, I can't get an answer to this! ***.

  • Can't drag and drop songs...

    So I just got my daughter her first iPod (shuffle), and wanted to put some songs onto it. However, when I go to populate a new playlist for her shuffle to autofill from, I find that I cannot drag and drop songs at all. I have done this as recently as last week with a nano and iPod touch, but now it doesn't work at all. I can't even change the order of songs in my playlists that have already been created. I've checked for updates and it looks like I have the most recent version of everything. I've tried restarting, etc, and the same thing keeps happening. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    HI Andy,
    If you haven't already done so, check the manual that came with her iPod and Reset the iPod.
    And here's a link that will provide you with all the information you need:

  • I cant "drag and drop" music onto my ipod anymore can i get help please???

    Hi,
    Since i have my ipod i have always dragged and dropped music from my itunes library onto my ipod but now every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want, but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod (such as the one that appears when on hold).
    Any help would be great, thank you

    "every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want"
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    "but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod

  • HT1386 Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

    Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes

    I don't blame this person whatsoever for making the assumption that the iPod portion of his phone would work similarily, if not the same, as the iPod.
    But it does work the same as the iPod. As with an iPod, you can sync all songs and playlists, or selected playlists, or you can manually manage music and videos. You can also select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab and uncheck the songs in your iTunes library that you don't want transferred to your iPhone. This can be used with syncing selected playlists - if you want to remove a song from your iPhone that is in a selected playlist without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes, you uncheck the song in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. There is no difference with an iPod in this regard except for the iPhone not supporting disk mode.
    In order to manually manage music and videos with an iPod, you must select this under the Summary tab for the iPod sync preferences, and the same for the iPhone.
    And if you resent his rant, why respond and waste your volunteer time on this post?
    I can waste my time anyway I see fit. If you don't like it, don't respond.
    And not everyone can afford to replace this type of investment on a whim.
    Copied from the OP's post.
    Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, *because that's when I will start asking for my money back...*
    Or the iPhone can be sold to someone else with the proceeds used to purchase a different phone. I haven't read any reports about someone having trouble selling their iPhone used at a good price even if damaged.

  • Drag and drop videos onto iphone

    Basically, I can't for some reason drag and drop videos onto my iphone 4. I manually manage my music and vids, songs I can drag and drop, but when it comes to videos, nothing happens. I have converted my videos to mp4 h264 format as required and still no progress. I cant think of what to do now. Someone help!!!

    thanks!!

    Now I tried downloading other albums that are in my library but not on my phone and those didn't work either. Could it be my phone or itunes that's not working?

  • HT1535 Does iTunes 11 allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device?

    It appears that iTunes 11 does not allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device.. is that true? I am trying to drag a playlist onto my iPhone. I've done it many times before on previous versions of iTunes but now that the menu is up in the heading, I can't drag the playlist onto the icon for my iPhone.

    No.
    Sync you are not syncing, the ONLY way to get items onto a manually managed device is to drag and drop.
    However, I feel a much simpler way is to create a playlist and add/remove songs from this playlist and autosync this playlist (or multiple playlists). I use about 6 or 7 playlists
    You can still also drag & drop songs while autosycning.
