  • Cannot Drag Playlist to iPods

    After moving to new computer with Vista, cannot drag playlists to iPods, as it freezes up every time as soon as the playlist moves over the ipod icon that you are dragging it to. We've installed all updates to Vista and iTunes, tried creating new playlists and dragging them instead, and restoring iPods to factory settings, as we thought we might have corrupted one by ejecting it incorrectly. We are able to drag small numbers of songs at a time from the library to the iPod though. This occurs whether we are using a nano or a 30 gb iPod.

    I have this same problem with iTunes 9.0.2. Can't drag and drop anything. Sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes it doesn't. Of course you can work around it -- right click as someone mentioned, or if you're creating a playlist, File>Create New Playlist from Selection. But it's a pain, and I hate the fact that I'm not getting the functionality I paid for. Wish someone (Apple, where are you?) could solve this problem.

  • I cannot drag music to my iphone

    I just installed iTunes on a new computer (Windows 7). I added music to iTunes. I can play it in iTunes. But I cannot drag an album onto my iPhone. I get the redbar "no" circle.
    I have no problem with this on other computers. I have signed into the iTunes store, and the problem persists. The music was not purchased in the iTunes store. It is basic unprotected MP3s.
    I have an iPhone 4.
    Please do not provide a solution that includes either sycning automatically or using playlists. It is my question how to do this manually, without automatically syncing and without making playlists to sync. That is the problem for which I seek a solution:)
    Thanks!
    B

    Can anybody tell me, does Apple support respond to queries here? I'm just trying to figure out if this question will get answered here or if I need to pursue other avenues to resolve my issue. Any help about getting appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • I cannot drag songs onto my iPhone 4S from iTunes

    It won't let me copy it to my iPod, everytime I drag it to my iPhone, it doesn't work

    This means you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on the computer used for syncing the iPhone. Switching from syncing music to manually managing music removes all music and videos on your iPhone first.
    If you have synced your iPhone with iTunes on another computer, all iTunes content will be erased first when transferring iTunes content from another computer. An iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on one computer.

  • I cannot drag playlists or import playlists from a home shared computer

    I've reset the router. The Shared library holding the playlists I want to import does have the correct icon: the house with a musical note in it. And I CAN play the playlist. When I go to "Show:" and choose "Items not in my Library" the import button next to the Settings button is grayed out and therefore not active. Alternatively, when I try to drag the desired playlist anywhere I immediately see a red circle with line thru it to indicate NO CAN DO. How frustrating that I simply cannot call someone to get help! Help?

    You can only transfer music from itunes to your devices and not the other way round.

  • Why can I not drag music to my iPhone anymore - iTunes Match

    This is beyond a joke now. I cannot drag music onto my iPhone now.  Apparently I have to download the music from iCloud first.  It comes up with the message, "You must download items from iCloud beforeyou can copy them to your phone."
    The music is on my bloody hard drive, why do I need to download it? Just a joke.
    This is a frigging joke.  How can I turn iTunes Match off, I've had nothing but bloody trouble with it since I bought it last week.
    - Only about 60% of music is availble, I refuse to upload 8000 tracks, it will take months.
    - I can't drag and drop music anymore to iPhone
    - Why does it not match certain tracks off the same album 6/10 tracks from the same album, really?
    - 5000 tracks with errors, really?
    How do I turn it off and go back to normal?  Is my library knackered now, will I have to reimport all my music.
    So bloody annoyed with this.

    Well, I've solved the problem now, just about!!!
    What I did was followed most of the guidlines in the link you gave me and set the folder location for Itunes library to the D Drive where it was present. I then re-synced my music (which deleted everything and added everything back to my Iphone) and now it is letting me check the point "manually manage music and videos" without giving me the message so I have lost my playlists doing this and had a very frustrating time trying to sort this out but everything as far as I can see is now in place and I've kept my apps etc....
    Thanks very much for the link Peter, it did help!

  • Cannot add a new playlist to my iphone - Help!!!

    I am not able to add a new playlist to my iphone.  I recently changed my computer, and when I choose the option to manually manage my music, I get a message that my phone is synced to a different itunes library, and if I sync to this library my content will be erased.  Obviously I did not continue.  I authorized this computer (which I had not done before), but I still cannot add a new playlist.  What can I do?

    I found this solution on a gogle discussion site, and it works.
    "In iTunes, right click the playlist on your iPhone then select "export" to export the playlist as a .txt file (I have 3GS with iOS5). 
    Then still in iTunes, select "File, Library, Import Playlist", navigate to and open the .txt file, and it will appear in the iTunes sidebar.
    I've tried to do this numerous times before.  Sorry if this is old news but I was so pleased I wanted to share it."
    After creating the playlists in your itunes library, sync your phone with the settings to manually manage your music (which will delete all the music from your phone), then drag the playlists back to your iphone.  You can then start manually managing music on your phone.

  • Cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5 / itunes for mac

    Does anyone know why one cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5. When I drag a playlist to a folder on my "Devices" on my iMac in itunes 10 it does not show up on my phone after it syncs. I should note that I currently have 3 folders with playlists which show up on my iphone but I believe these were generated when I first Automatically Synced Music before I switched to Manually Manage Music

    Also can this be done for photos?

  • Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

    OK.  I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created.  And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist.  I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either.  I even talked to a supervisor.  He was stumpped.  It looks like a bug has infected the system.  I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem.  I believe if it works, don't update.  
    I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
    This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
    Help!

    "ok and how exactly do i do that? "
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup?  That is not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphon:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1386 I cannot sync other playlists to my iPhone 5S from iTunes, each time I attempt to add playlists they do not show up.  How can I rectify this?

    Trying to sync playlists to my iPhone 5S does not work.  I click on the playlist(s) and click sync, after the sync is finished there are not on my phone.  How can this be rectified?

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • Cannot drag and drop Audible audiobooks onto my iPhone 4s

    When I attempt to drag and drop Auible audiobook files i only get a ghosted file on my iPhone.  The file itself nver make it tot he phone.  This ghosted file cannot be deleted from the iPhone. 
    Once I try to drag an Audible audiobook to the phone it then locks up the file transfer process on the phone and music files also become untransferable.  They also just show up as ghosted files on the phone (when viewed through itunes).  They do not show up on the phone when viewed from the phone.
    Please help!

    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?

  • Cannot drag-and-drop songs and playlists

    I just got a new 2nd Gen Nano on Saturday. iTunes 7.0.1.8 updated the Nano to software 1.0.2. It will sync songs and playlists when connected to the computer. However, if I want to manually add songs/playlists, it won't let me. I cannot drag and drop from my library to my iPod. Also, all the songs are greyed out on my iPod list and it will not let me drag and drop within my iPod. They only way it will let me update songs and playlists is with the automatic option.
    What is going on?

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manually managing your songs.
