ITunes 11.0.1: Can't drag files into playlist unless it's in "List" view mode

If I drag and drop audio files from Finder into a playlist in iTunes 11 (which I do in order to make sure meta tags are correct), they only appear in the playlist if i'm using "List" mode. Using "grid" or "artist list", the files get added to my iTunes library, but they don't appear in the playlist I dragged them into.
What's up with this? Is it happening for other people?
(This is iTunes 11.0.1 on OS X 10.8.2.)

berrrnard,
I get the same result as you. Best advice ..... always drag them to the List.
I don't really follow this though.......... (which I do in order to make sure meta tags are correct).
What do you mean ??

  • Can't Drag Files into the Itunes Library anymore

    I was just taking some mp3s from my old computer to my new one and I have been doing this for a few days, yesterday, I couldn't drag anymore songs into the library for some reason. A blue rectangle comes up, but I can't position it over 'Music'. Dragging files into the playlists still work though.
    Can anyone help?

  • Can't drag files into itunes from computer folder.

    Im running windows 7 64bit, with the newest version of itunes:10.2.2.14.  I can't drag files from my "music folder" which is in my documents into itunes anymore.  I used to be able to do this with my old computer running windows 7 32bit, and even on windows vista, but it doesn't seem to work for me now. is there a setting that i can change? or mess around with something to fix this problem?

    Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
    Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
    I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to?

  • OS Lion: Can't drag attachments into Mail message, Can't drag files into Trash

    Dragging an attachment into a Mail causes a crash adn I have to force quit. I can attach files via the menu, but keep forgetting and have to keep force quitting.
    Also (probably not connected), I can't move files into the Trash... Just get a Moving "xxxx" to "Trash" dialog and the progress bar never changes...

    Boot up holding command-r keys into Lion Recovery Volume. Reinstall Lion and it will "install in place" so none of your own data or settings should be effected.

  • Can't drag files into the queue window on some computers

    For some reason, on my new desktop and my laptop. I cannot drag files into the Queue window in Media encoder. I  have tried dragging avi's, wav, and mp4. As the files I am dragging hover over the queue window, my mouse turns into the "circle with a line through it" pointer and I cannot add the files that way. I can click the plus sign and then browse to its location to add. I just want to have my drag n drop feature working again... Any ideas why i can on some computers and not others?
    I did try running media encoder as administrator. All my computers are running windows 8.1.

    do you have source patching turned on for audio?

  • Can't drag songs into playlists or move in playlists easily

    I have upgraded to Lion and the latest iTunes and now I am finding it VERY hard to move tracks in the program. For example, dragging a track from the library into an existing playlist is **** near impossible. And when I FINALLY get it in there it is ABSOLUTELY near impossible to move it’s position up or down on the playlist. What gives? Any ideas?

    Before anyone suggests the following I have tried this already:
    •restarted itunes
    •restarted mac
    •made sure shuffle is turned off
    •made sure the playlist order is selected
    Also, it is NOT a smart playlist. I know you can’t drag tracks into smart playlists.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

    I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
    However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
    Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
    I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
    Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

  • ITunes 10.4 can't drag songs into playlists

    There is one glaring difference in the new iTunes 10.4 (80). I can't drag songs from one playlist to another. It doesn't matter whether the source is a smart playlist or a regular dumb one, or even the main music library.
    smart playlist or dumb playlist or even the main music library) into other (dumb) playlist.
    As a workaround, I can copy (cmd-c) and paste (cmd-v), but this is ... umm ... sub-optimal, because you have to change playlists to do it. Then when you go back to the first folder, any search you might have used before is now gone.
    Is there any way to bring back drag and drop? Some weird .plist hack or anything?

    Well. My first efforts to search for a solution were poorly executed, because I tried again and found lots of answers.
    The problem appears to be using a Wacom driver. See the discussion here and (same thread) here and here. No idea when that will be fixed. I use a 8 or 9 year old Graphire, and drivers have been a problem for most of those. Sigh.
    But this experience also made me learn that you can right click to add selections to a playlist.
    I even learned how that first column works, which I never knew before.

  • Can't drag songs into playlist

    I can't drag songs from my library into one of my playlists. Other playlists are fine - it is just the one that won't take songs. Is there a limit for the number of songs in a playlist?

    What sort of playlist is it? If it's a smart playlist then it gets it's content from the rules that have been set for it, for example recently added. You won't be able to drag to a playlist like this just a normal one. The icon for an normal playlist that you can drag to will have a musical note on it, a smart playlist has an icon that looks like a little gear wheel.

  • Sometimes I can't drag files into Sidebar folders... and then I can... etc.

    I cannot figure out what causes the erratic misbehavior of sidebar folders. At one point I'll easily drag a file or a folder from the same Finder window into a Sidebar folder, but moments later the sidebar folders simply won't spring open. But a few minutes later they will.
    Anyone got a tip?
    NB: I had this same misbehavior before I completely rebuilt my HD - I even zeroed to write over bad blocks, reinstalled OS & updated from Apple, gradually added my 3rd party apps by reinstalling each of them (whew!). I had figured that and some other (minor) glitchy behaviors were too little free space, bad block, some directory corruption, etc.

    Depending on the file, it may just take a minute to decide.

  • Can't drag songs into playlists

    I've been trying to create new playlists...and it won't let me! I click on the song, then try to drag it to the new playlist...it won't move. It used to work, what happened?!

    Are you sure it's not a "Smart" Playlist that you've created?
    Otherwise ... I'm not sure what the problem might be.
    You may consider deleting iTunes and reinstalling it. Make sure you back up your two data files.
    This would probably fix the problem.
    Good luck!

  • Can't drag & drop into playlists.....

    ...not exactly true but can't multi-pick (ie left click whilst pressing ctrl button) more than 4-6 songs at a time to add to a playlist. When i try to pick more i get a short tone noise. Very frustating. Anyone? Thanks.
    hp f1523 40gb   Windows XP  

    I have about 50 playlists that I created as playlists and have always been able to add songs to as I purchased them. The lists were originally created as regular playlists. Then, one day I opened up iTunes and all the existing playlists I had created as playlists, and has always added songs to, had the "gear" symbols and acted like genius playlists. How can I change them back and why did this happen...any ideas?

  • Can't put files into nested folders in dock

    Whenever I try to put a file into a folder I have in my dock, it will only let me put it in the first level of the folder. Ideally, I would want the folder to pop open and show the next level of folders so I can navigate through levels of nested folders to put the file in the exact place I want deep within my folder hierarchy. I know I can hold down Control on a folder in the dock to show my nested folders, but how can I drag files into those nested folders? I thought this was supposed to be automatic in Tiger. Please help.

    Yes- Easy!
    When you have your Creative Media Explorer open and your portable device connected, you will see your Zen V Series Media Explorer in the SOURCE window in the upper LH corner. Click on the "+" in front of the Zen V Series icon and it will display the list of folders on the device.
    Right click on the main folder for the category you want to put the sub folder in and you will get a drop down menu.
    Select "New folder" and you will get the "New Folder" box asking you what name you want for your new folder. It's that easy.

  • Can't drag files from itunes library (to anywhere) anymore.

    Recently I've noticed I can no longer drag files from the library in my itunes. I can't drag them to playlists, and I can't drag them to the desktop.
    I have repaired permissions and even tried removing the library.xml file and let it generate a new one, but I still get the same result.
    I am on a mac os 10.6.8 Macbook Pro.
    I'm not sure when ths started happening, but I wonder if it has something to do with an itunes update. I have the newest version and always dwnload the updates. I can still add files to the library by control-clicking the files and selecting the option in the dropdown list. This isn't an intentional change in the way the program works is it? Is no one else having this problem??

    Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
    Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

  • Can't drag files from itunes to the desktop or finder.

    I used to be able to do this but have't been able to recently. Please someone else tell me if this is a change that has been made to itunes in general or if there is something wrong with my particular itunes:
    I tunes wont let me drag files anymore. I can't drag to playlists. I can't drag to the finder or desktop. The only way around this is to right click or control-click and show each individual file in the finder and drag from there. Which is very annoying when I try to move many files at once.
    The files are not copy protected and I have permissions open on the folders I am dragging to.
    I use itunes version 10.5.2
    mac os 10.6.8 on a powerbook 2.4 ghz intel core duo

    Someone? Please?? Is it possible that I am the only one who noticed this!?!?
