I can't drag files from one shared library to another

My computers recognize and display all shared libraries, and the files play on each computer, but files cannot be copied from one to another.  Is there a solution to this?

iTunes has two kinds of sharing.
Regular sharing allows listening, but does not allow copying.  It can be used with anybody on the same network. 
The one you want is called Home Sharing.  It does allow copying,  It only works with other computers authorized to the same iTunes account.  To set it up, see this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819

  • HT2688 How can I "click and drag" songs from one shared library to another?

    I have home sharing activated on my mom's computer and mine and before the newest version of itunes, we were able to click and drag songs from one users' library into the other. We are not able to do that now and I wanted to know if there was a way to do this in the newest version of itunes.

    I am using a Windows computer first off, not sure if that makes a difference,  When you say "click import" where is import.  I can not find anything that says "import" to click.

  • Can i drag files from one computer to another

    can i drag files from one computer to another

    You can, if you want to transfer files between macs I advies to use AirDrop(wi-fi needs to be enabled). Use shift+command+R, this will take you to your AirDrop in finder. Do this on both computers and you should see the user of the mac where you want to transfer files to.
    If the seconds computer is a Windows, you can alway use a USB Drive, External Drive, through Dropbox(install dropbox on both computers and download the files that you need on the second computer) and if the file is small even mail.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

    Could we use Sharepoint designer workflow to achive this task?
    Any help on this will be appreaciated.

    Hi Asritha,
    According to your description, you want to create a workflow to meet the need.
    Per my knowledge, there is no built-in action which can move the documents from the current library to a folder in another library.
    I recommend to use the custom activity 'Copy List Item Extended' which need to be downloaded from
    http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/.
    Please per the steps below to deploy the custom activity to SharePoint:
    Download the activity form http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/
    Open Dos command prompt.
    Browse to the directory that you can access stsadm.exe. The default location in version 3.0 is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\bin
    Type the stsadm commands: stsadm -o addsolution -filename C:\UsefulSPDWorkflowActivities_0.5.0\DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.wsp (“C:\UsefulSPDWorkflowActivities_0.5.0\” is the file path)
    Type the stsadm commands: stsadm -o deploysolution -name DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.wsp -allowgacdeployment -force -immediate 
    Open the Center Administration, Click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to the Web Application.
    After that, we can create a workflow to meet the need.
    Here is the detailed steps to create the workflow:
    Create a workflow associated with the Source Library DocumentLib and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
    Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is greater than 7/1/2012.
    Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is less than 6/30/2013.
    Select Copy List Item Extended, change the settings to be Copy item in Current Item to list at Fiscal Year 2013 folder url.
    Select Delete Item, change the settings to be Delete Item in Current Item.
    Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is greater than 7/1/2013.
    Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is less than 6/30/2014.
    Select Copy List Item Extended, change the settings to be Copy item in Current Item to list at Fiscal Year 2014 folder url.
    Select Delete Item, change the settings to be Delete Item in Current Item.
    Publish the workflow.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Can I move songs from one computers library to another?

  • Can I move files from one hard drive to another without replacing/duplicating existing files?

    Long story short, my work purchased a Macbook Pro and copied all of my files from my iMac to my new Macbook Pro. I've had to work on my iMac before my laptop was fully ready and now I need to transfer more files over to my Macbook Pro.
    Is there a way that I can drag contents from my profile folder (documents, downloads, etc.) to my Macbook without have to moving 100+ gbs of information. Basically, is there a way that the computer can recognize that "Folder A" already exists on my Macbook Pro and it will not ask to replace that folder?
    I am sorry of my question is vague; I'll rephrase if necessary.

    Well, if you drag the contents of your "Documents" folder (on iMac) into your new "Documents" folder (on MacBook Pro) for instance, and choose "Do Not Replace" while checking the "Apply to All" box, it will only transfer new items (this does not include updated items). Now if the new items are in folders that exist under "Documents", then you may need to go into individual folders and repeat this process. That's the only way I can think of doing it. I'd hold off to see if anyone else has a better answer. Good luck!

  • Moving files from one document library to another

    I want to move all files which are 30 days old, from one library to another.
    What is the best way to do this?
    Shall I create a workflow for this or a timer job? I am not sure if we can do this using workflow because I think it works on events and here I need a process that will work continuously (for e.g. every hour or every day etc) and check for files which are
    30 days older, and move to different document library (this target library will be in another site collection).
    What do you say?

    There are 2-approach I would recommend here,
    Either Create SharePoint Timer Job OR Create Windows Service which runs every day and will check the document library for any documents satisfy the 30 days old criteria.
    Personally I will always go for Windows service. Reasons are easy to build/install/less downtime and if you use framework like Topshelf then easy to debug. Also it allows you to have configuration for your SharePoint Site/Document library. Libraries like
    Serilog allows you to have better structured logs created for your service easily. Multiple instances of the same service running on the same server.
    There are few links I want to share with you for kind of similar discussion happened earlier,

  • Can I move "keepsakes" from one iPhoto library to another?

    For one reason or another a specific "keepsake" photobook was created in an iPhoto library that only contained a subset of all my photos. Now I would like to integrate this specific photobook into the iPhoto library that contains ALL my photos, such that all keepsakes are together.
    Is there a way, even a work-around or a round-about way that this specific keepsake photobook can be moved into the overall library?
    Thanks for any pointers/suggestions/advice.
    Cheers,
    Veit

    No, there is no way to move a keepsake from one Library to another.

  • Can I postpone music from one iTunes library to another?

    Recently I got a new computer and I was wondering if it's possible to postpone my music from the old to the new iTunes. I wouldn't like to keep the old computer only to use the old iTunes.
    I've already tried to copy it to a memory stick and put it on my new iTunes that way, but it didn't work.
    I thought about burning everything on CDs but that would be my very last option.
    Has anybody help?
    Thanks

    +"I've already tried to copy it to a memory stick and put it on my new iTunes that way, but it didn't work."+
    That will work. Copy the songs from the old computer to the memory stick, and then from the stick to the new computer. Make sure you know where they are on the new computer, then use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library.

  • Running MacOS 10.8.4  Contacts 7.1 (1170) can't drag cards from one folder to another.

    I am running 10.8.4 with contacts 7.1 (1170).  I find I can't drag cards from one (any) group to another group.  When I restart it shows the card and indicates that it should accept it as it isn't in that group.  But doesn't move cards.  Then it no longer gives any indication the cards are moving when I drag.  When I shut down and restart it gives indication the cards are moving but none move and then no longer gives any indication when I drag.  I am syncing with icloud.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

  • Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

    Hi All, 
    We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
    We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:  
    Copying files from one document library to another document library:
    Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files: 
    In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
    We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.  
    Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi John and all,
    One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
    We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
    We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
    However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”,  login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
    library and tried to follow these steps:
    From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
    source document library.
    From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
    What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
    Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
    functionality not work working for our environment.  
    Are we doing something wrong? 
    We have referred to following websites.
    we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

  • HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

    how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

    You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
    Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
    Are they Mac HFS formatted?
    You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
    MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.
