I can't drag and drop iTunes music to desktop

I can't drag and drop music from iTunes to my desktop since Lion upgrade. I just bought the music last month so it isn't iTunes ACC protected. I want to edit the song in GarageBand also.
Thanks

I got my similar problem fixed (thank god)
Hope this will help
I tried totalfinder before i upgraded to lion and i guess i did not make a clean uninstal so i downloaded the total finder dmg file and used the uninstaler and that solved my problem
The uninstaler did relaunch the finder wich could also been the fix
So i suggest you try and relaunch your finder
Here is how you relaunch your finder incase you dont know
Click on the apple logo in the top left corner select Force Quit and then select finder in the fore quit menu and click relaunch

  • I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

    Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC  machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Larry

    I found an solution.
    Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

  • Can't drag-and-drop from CD to Desktop

    I can't drag-and-drop a photo from an Iphoto CD to the Desktop. I was able to do this on my old 17"IMAC. But the new 20" won't allow me to this anymore. Once I drag it past the Iphoto window the cursor has a circle with a bar across. The MAC person at CompUSA couldn't help. Can you? His suggestion was to drag it to the Iphoto library and then drag it out of the library to the Desktop. Huh?

    In Iphoto, I select the albums I want to copy. I then hit burn CD. It then determines the amount of space needed. Then I hit burn CD again. Its begins burning the CD, then it verifies the CD, then ejects the CD when completed.
    When the CD is re-inserted, Iphoto displays it as a regular album. I select the album, then a file, and attempt to drag-and-drop that file to the desktop. The cursor appears as a circle with a bar and it won't allow a one-step drag-and drop as with the old 17" IMAC.

  • I can't drag and drop some photos to desktop

    HI all,
    I need your help. I am trying to drag and drop photos from iPhoto to my desktop. Some photos will drag and drop (as always) and now all of a sudden some photos will not. When I drag one of these photos, a "no entry' sign appears with the photo as it crosses the boundary from iPhoto to the folder/desktop. I am unable to export some photos in any way. What gives? This has never happened before and I am stumped.  I have never written the forums before so I hope you can help!
    Thanks in advance!

    What happens if you double click on the thumbnail to view the photo in a larger size?  If you Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Show File" or "Show Original" (if it's been edited) are you taken to the folder where the original file is located an it highlighted?
    OT

  • Can't drag and drop music to iphone5

    I updated to the latest Itunes, plugged my new Iphone5 in and "restore from previous Iphone back up"  It did it fine, then i went to manage music manually and  checked the boxes for all the artists I wanted on my new phone. Sync it to my phone and all seemed ok.  Prior to this I downloaded 250 songs off the cloud so I had some music while I updated my computer so I could run Itunes for Iphone5.  When I sync everything it doubled up the 250 songs that were on there.  then some worked and some just skipped over and went to the next song.  I want to delete the doubles off my phone and re-enstall the music which i can't do from Itunes and when i do it from my phone its gone on the phone but still on the "on this phone" in itunes.  I can't drag and drop any music onto my phone and when i go to "music" on my phone from itunes it says i have to erase all content and sync with this computer.  this is the only computer and only account it has ever seen.

    Tried that, I can get almost all my music except one album (the album I want).  I deleted it off my phone by swiping then hitting delete.  It does not show up on my phone but it does say that it is on my phone when i plug into itunes.  I can't drag and drop it, I checked the box for that album and it didn't transfer.  No idea what to do.  How can I even just use Itunes to delete music off my phone?  Used to be able to highlight and then right click and then delete, not anymore. 

  • Can't drag and drop in Finder

    I'm liking Leopard so far I guess, but I can't drag and drop anything on the Desktop or from Finder windows. Am I missing something?

    Had the same problem. Reinstalled the software - all is well. Cured many ills with the initial installation - don't bother trying to play with permissions, etc. Just reinstall.
    Thank goodness this isn't Micro$oft or you'd have to sit in front of the computer to keep answering the "Okay to reboot" questions every time a chunk of code is installed.

  • HT203128 I can't drag and drop music from iTunes 12 to iOS 8 iPhone 5s. How do I move music now?

    I connect the iPhone to itunes. that works. Everything shows up fine, but I can't drag and drop music from the 'music' section of iTunes 12 on my new mbp or my iMac. I used to be able to. Also, when I slide to delete songs on the iPhone, they still appear as 'ghosts' in the list on iTunes when the phone is connected - if I double click them, a exclamation mark in a circle comes up on the left of the track and it doesn't play. Can anyone help? Kind of need to get this sorted - it's bloody frustrating. I've restarted iPhone, iMac, MBP, downloaded the latest versions of iOS, OS X 10.10.3.

    you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

  • I recently installed iTunes 4.3 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore?

    I recently installed iTunes 4.3.5 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore. Every time I try to drag the music from a folder into the library, that little circle with the line thru it comes up (not allowed symbol). I've been using iTunes for years and am pretty computer savvy... I have no idea what the problem is. The only way I can add music right now is if I go to File>Add File to Library and that takes way too long, especially when adding 20-30 songs. I am using Windows 7 and I have an iPhone 4. Please help! This is extremely frustrating.

    No, sorry... you did not.  There is no iTunes 4.3.5.
    What did you actually install?  iOS 4.3.5 on your iPhone?  If so, this has NO affect on the ability to manually manage media via iTunes.
    Let's start over... tell us exactly what has been done.

    You will have to sync your iphone to this computer first, erasing the current content and replacing wioth content from the new computer.
    Make sure you have copied everything from the old comptuer to the new one first.

  • How do I import music using homeshare with iTunes 11...I can see the shared libraries but I can't drag and drop and there is no import button.  Thanks!

    How do I import music using homeshare with iTunes 11...I can see the shared libraries but I can't drag and drop and there is no import button.  Thanks!

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can I drag and drop a copy of my iTunes library from a portable hard drive more than once?

    Can I drag and drop a copy of my iTunes library from a portable hard drive more than once?  Not copy it, but actually drag and drop it into my music folder on my computer more than once if needed?

    Nothing is going to stop you from dragging it in multiple times, but what exactly are you trying to do?  Are you trying to get iTunes to look through the folder and pick up newly added song files?
