How do a drag an itunes file into a playlist?

I used to have custom playlists on my iphone.  I'd create a new playlist and drag tunes (or podcasts, etc.) into it, and then I'd sync my phone with that list.
Now I'm no longer able to drag tunes into a playlist.  I'm using 10.6.7 and itunes 10.4.  Any suggestions how I can continue to create custom playlists????

Wow, this is weird.  Suddenly it's working again.

  • I can't drag and drop files into a playlist.  Any ideas?

    As I often do, I went to drag four new files into a playlist in iTunes and suddenly they will not go in.  I just get that circle with a diagonal line across indicating that this is not possible. 
    Lately iTunes has been giving me all sorts of problems such as not recognizing my iPhone or iTouch. 
    Has anyone else been having these sorts of problems??

    Try to drag them directly to "Music" or "Movies" or whatever, rather than a specific playlist. THEN drag them to the playlist --
    Given your other issues, sounds like you iTunes library might be corrupt...

    JollyGeri, after I installed the 10.5.3 version a few days ago I began to have the same problem.  The first time i used iTunes after the new install is when the problem of not being able toI manipulate my music by dragging and dropping began.  My computer is a Mac and it appears you are using Windows Vista so the solution to my problem will likely be different than yours.   I'll just mention that on a mac there is a program called disk utility and with that we mac users can have it repair permissions.  After a second attempt yesterday to repair permissions I was able to move music by dragging and dropping as I previously could.  However, when I opened itunes today and tried, the same problem was back.  I've used the disk utility program to repair permissions again but so far the problem persists.   I hope someone is able to help you with your situation.   If there is a similar type of program on your windows pc, perhaps by repairing the disk permissions you may be able to get your problem solved.  This is very frustrating and I believe there is something in the new version of iTunes that has caused this because I have not installed any other upgreades, etc. since downloading and installing the itunes upgrade.    Good luck!

  • Drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?

    is it possible to drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?  It is very clunkey to have to click each separate file to instruct it to move to the folder.  Better still, can I just sync an existing folder on my hard drive so the pdf's inside always remain up to date on my iPad?

    There is no way to drag and drop in Reader on an iPad.
    There is no way to sync PDFs in a folder on your hard drive to those inside of Reader.
    There are readers (which are NOT free) which let you do some of these things and have more capabilities. You might check out PDF Expert from Readdle which costs $9.99 US.

  • How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

  • Drag and dropping files into widgets

    I just installed two widgets that are supposed to function by dragging and dropping files into them. How do I get access to files? How do you get files from the Finder into the dashboard?

    You need to activate Dashboard's "Developer Mode" in order to keep widgets active on the desktop.
    Open Terminal and enter the following command:
    <PRE>
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
    </PRE>
    Close Terminal, log out of your user account, and log back in again. To move a widget onto your desktop, activate Dashboard and start dragging the widget to the desktop. Press F12 before letting up on the mouse button to close Dashboard, and the widget should now be permanently affixed to the desktop. Drag to your desired location.

  • Can't drag and drop files into Attachments while in Administrator mode

    I can drag and drop files into attachment easily when I'm not in Administrator mode. But I need to be in Administrator mode at work and therefore for some reason I cannot drag and drop files into attachments; I'm forced to manually search and select particular files for attaching, which significantly slows my day-to-day work.
    Is it a bug?
    I have the up-to-date version of Thunderbird and I use MS Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thx

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • How do I import an iMove file into Toast 7?

    How do I import an iMovie file into Toast 7? I have tried
    the image file copy and the horizontal
    aliasing still is there.

    I am not quite sure what you are trying to do since you mention copying an image file. Let's start with an iMovie project and you now want to encode it. You have a choice of programs to do the encoding, Toast being one of them. If the video is less than 2 hours, iDVD offers more options and does a great job encoding the movie too. I use both programs. If this is the process you are trying to follow, then Toast 7 allows you to drag the iMovie project file directly into the Toast window (after selecting the Video tab)and it will locate the right file to encode. Set the various options for menus, etc. and then go. Usually, it is best to Save As Disc Image, and then burn the DVDs later from the image file again with Toast using the Copy tab (copy image file selection). If I create the image file with iDVD, I still use Toast to burn the DVDs. Toast 7 works great with iMovie 5, but I have not used it with iMovie 6. There could be some incompatibilities.

  • How do i import director 7 files into current premiere pro

    how do i import director 7 files into current premiere pro
    I have a project created in Macromedia Director 7. I was told by sales that this would import into Premere Pro.
    However I have no Idea how! Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
    But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
    I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
    Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
    You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
    Kindly inform us if it works.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers.

  • How can I turn garage band files into mp3s?

    On my older Macbook i have always been able to easily turn my .band files into mp3s under the Advanced heading in itunes, but with my Macbook Pro, that is not an option. The option has become "Create AAC version". How can I turn my .band files into mp3s so that I can load them onto my web page and my students can pick them up as mp3s and put them on their devices?

    The option has become "Create AAC version".
    Your iTunes importing preferences are currently set to AAC. If you change your Importing preferences to mp3, the option should then become "Create mp3 version". See the following document for some more details:

    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.
