I cannot move mp3s from my music folder to a new playlist

I tried dragging and dropping. I even tried copying and pasting but the "paste" feature is dimmed out.
FYI, I moved all my mp3s to an external hard drive. I moved the selected mp3's back to my computer desk top and then imported those mp3's into my "music" folder on Itunes. I tried moving from music to new playlist and then desktop to new playlist.
Nothing.
Anybody else have this problem? Any advice?
Thanks.

Never mind. I figured it out.

  • Can't copy the mp3 in iTunes Music folder to flashdisk or external harddisk

    I have added all of my mp3 files to iTunes library and deleted all the original mp3 files *coz I thought it's been saved in the iTunes Music folder*
    But after I tried to copy the files from iTunes Music folder to flashdisk a message appear. Here is the message:
    "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "NAME.mp3" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
    Please help me,this is the first time I use Mac...
    Thanks before.. ^^

    hexonxonx,
    Thanks for responding to my question. I'm trying to troubleshoot an audiobook that won't download from the iTunes store. It's part one of a two part audiobook. The second part downloaded properly, along with three other audiobooks.
    iTunes support has given me two sets of instructions, neither which I can carry out.
    The first set is to empty the Downloads folder and then empty the trash, and the second set to to empty the cache folder. Unfortunately, I can't find either folder. I also cannot find a folder labeled with the name of the audiobook that is hung up. If you have any further advice, I'd appreciate it.

  • After having the Apple Store erase my HD, now I need authentication and password to move things from a downloads folder to another folder in Finder. WHY? And how can I change this?

    I'm trying to move things from the downloads folder into a folder that is over there on the left in the sidebar. Every time I try to move something, I get this message and then I have to give my password. I didn't have to do that previously and I sure don't want to do it now, either. I've checked and checked and cannot find where I would go to change this setting. Does anyone know where I should look?
    The Apple Store erased my HD on Friday and I had to restore from Time Machine. my OS is Mavericks and I'm on a MacBook Pro.

    That has been like that since Firefox 3.0 was released in June 2008 - 7 major version releases thus far with it like that and the developers haven't changed it - so I wouldn't count on it.
    When I want to save a duplicate bookmark, I just "grab" the website image in the Location Bar and drag it into the Bookmarks Sidebar, into the folder where I want it placed. On Windows and Linux, { Ctrl + B } opens the sidebar and then just drag.

  • Cannot delete item from junk mail folder in iPad?

    Some items cannot be deleted from junk mail folder on iPad 2. It will not move to trash.

    Have you tried swiping across the message in the preview pane when you open the junk folder instead of opening the email and trying to use the trash can icon?
    If that will not work either, try rebooting your iPad and then see if you can delete the junk mail.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Cannot delete files from Mail Junk folder

    I have an issue with Mail.  I have two messages without content that cannot be deleted from the Junk folder.  I can change the classification (junk to not junk); try to move them to another folder, but nothing works.  This problem is unique to my MacBook Air -- I have the same programs and files on my office MacBook Pro and there is no issue -- I was able to delete the same files without an issue.

    I am running mac 10.6.7
    I have tried updating the software, operating system,
    Then you should have Mac OS X 10.6.8

  • How do I move my iTunes Music folder to a new hard drive?

    I've installed a new drive in my Mac Pro. I now have to move my iTunes Music folder into the new drive and junk the old one. I know that I can use iTunes/File/Add to Library menu item to get iTunes to locate the new Music Library; however, this is going to leave me with two entries for every track, one good and one broken after I remove the old drive. I think I should junk the old library and then have iTunes rebuild it from the Add To command... what is the best way to avoid problems? Select All, move to Trash and then locate and add them back?  Expert advice appreciated.

    No, it's simpler, epecially if iTunes manages your music for you (default).
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    I'm not sure abot your model Mac but you might be able to do this with the computer in Firewire Target Disk Mode.

  • HT1491 Hi, i have recently brought some tv shows on my ipod touch. I can only watch them when i'm connected to the internet.............why? Also is it possible to move them to my music folder? Thanks

    Hi, I have recently brought some tv programmes from itunes on my ipod touch. I can only watch them when i'm connected to the internet though. Any way i can move them to my music folder too? Thanks

    That means it is not fully downloaded so you are streaming it. Fully download it.

  • Why won't iTunes let me import this album from my music folder?

    For some reason, iTunes won't let me import Radiohead In Rainbows from my music folder. The songs are mp3 files. I've imported thousands of songs and haven't had a problem. I've tried dragging it in and importing from the file menu.
    The one thing I notice is that MP3 is capitalized in the file names, but I don't know if that has anything to do with. The music plays fine in Windows Media Player, but I want to put it in itunes so I can put it on my iPod.

    I appreciate the reply. How do you check permissions (what is permissions)? This is very strange since it worked flawlessly in my itunes libraray before recently as well as my ipod and all of a sudden it wouldn't play in my library so I deleted the tracks from the library and tried to re-add them but it doesn't load them now and doesn't give me any kind of error message.
    These are official MP3 tracks that I downloaded from the official Radiohead website and they play fine on my Ipod, Windows Media Player, and Quicktime. Just not Itunes itself.

  • Cannot move photo from catalogue to all pictures in "home" location

    I have adobe starter edition 3, windows xp. Computer is Dell 2400 (IBM), printer is PIXMA MP530. I have some pictures on fotki that I want to place in the "home" part of ADOBE, where all of my pictures can be seen. I am able to download to desktop. It seems as if I click on the ADOBE picture album folder, the photo would replace the picture album folder. When I download to the desktop, the photo is placed in the catalogue. When I try to place it in the home location, a "cannot place in location: picture already in catalgoue" message. I cannot see the photo unless I type in the file name and search using "find". I would like to be able to see this photo in the home folder. There are too many photos that need to be downloaded (a computer accident destroyed some photos, but I can download the original photo from fotki).
    How can I place the photos in the "home" loaction?

  • How do I move pictures from 1 offline folder to another offline folder?

    My Elements 8 pictures are on the root directory of a 16 gig usb drive.  I would like to move them to a new folder on that same drive.  I tried to do it in the folder view by selecting the pics in the root folder and dragging them to the new folder.  That action was not allowed.  I could drag the pics to a C drive folder, but not to a usb drive folder.
    I then used the move function.under the File menu.  It did the move, but changed the name of each item by adding a "-1" to it.  And for each picture it added 1 or 2 small new files to the new folder.  I then had to erase the small new files because they caused me to run out of space.
    How can I easily move items from one external folder to another on my usb drive?

    Thanks for your response... 
    I tried the Move function.  It did not work very well either. 
    I successfully moved several groups of pictures, but PSE added a "-1" to all the files it created in the folder I was moving the items to, and it created 1 or 2 small jpg files for each of the files I moved.  This caused my usb drive to fill up and I had to erase all the extra files.  Eventually the "Move" failed in the last group of pictures I tried to move.  It copied all of them to the new folder, but failed as it tried to delete them from the original folder.  Thus, I now have 2 copies of those picture files on my usb drive.
    By adding the "-1" to the file names, PSE does not appear to recognize folders on a usb drive.  And I  have no idea why it creates the extra small copies of the files...
    Any other ideas?

    I Want copy the same tree on Itunes but if i create that myself, it's to long !!
    Help me please !
    (arborescence in french, tree in english)

    iTunes doesn't have any automatic way of re-creating your directory structure in terms of folders and playlists in iTunes.   You will have to drag each music folder to a playlist and then arrange these in folders inside of iTunes (which I warn you can can slow down iTunes a lot).   I guess the once chance of speeding this up will be if somebody has written an Applescript to do it, but I don't remeber seeing any anywhere.

  • No songs show up in Owner's iPod when i remove them from the Music folder..

    every time i transfer music to my Shuffle, and then remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they won't show up in Owner's iPod whenever i connect my Shuffle to my PC. if i don't remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they will show up in Owner's iPod every time i connect my Shuffle. i don't get it. the capacity is right, and i know there are songs on the Shuffle, but there's no way to maintain the playlist of songs (for example, remove a few songs and keep the others) because none of them show up in Owner's Ipod...
    i also had another problem, that i was able to fix, with my wireless keyboard and mouse. whenever i removed the Shuffle from the USB connector, the lights on my keyboard and mouse remote would go out, and my keyboard and mouse would disconnect. also, the screen would turn gray, and i would have to hold the power butten down on the PC to get it to shut down. i changed the USB port i was using for the Shuffle, and that seemed to fix it, but i think that it's wierd that i moved my iPod Mini to that USB port and it doesn't do that when i remove it. anyway, i changed USB ports, and it works fine now, but i don't think it's a problem on my end because my iPod Mini works fine in that port. i think it's a software bug with the Shuffle...

    remove the songs from the Music folder under Library,
    they won't show up in Owner's iPod whenever i connect
    my Shuffle to my PC. if i don't remove the songs from
    the Music folder under Library, they will show up in

    Solution: Don't do that...
    Explanation: iTunes "updates" Shuffle each time it's connected. IF the Shuffle contains songs NOT in iTunes' library, they are removed from the Shuffle. THAT is the way it works.

  • On MacBook 10.6, in iTunes 10.3.1, music downloaded from CD, copied from Recently Added, pasted into named New Playlist Folder, is displayed there but can then disappear from this folder. What am I doing wrong?

    QUESTION:     On MacBook 10.6.7, in iTunes 10.3.1, music downloaded from CD, copied from Recently Added, pasted to named New Playlist Folder, is displayed as a list but can later disappear. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, Mylenium,
    Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
    I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
    Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
    Any other suggestions?
    Many thanks in advance!
