ITunes for Windows not allowing dragging of songs/files

iTunes isn't letting me drag files at all, whether its from Chrome to iTunes or from iTunes to Chrome, it is also not letting me drag songs within iTunes to make playlists either, it allowed me before & has just stopped now, any help?

Text in iPod section of iTunes for windows not totally showing up???

When my iPod/iPhone is connected and I browse different sections of iPod/iPhone are in iTunes for Windows, there are several lines of text instructions. Some of which don't display the entire sentence. This seems very odd since there is plenty of blank screen real estate available.
For example:
In the Summary Section (with iPod/iPhone connected), I see 2 lines of text under Version and 4 lines of text under Summary. None of the sentences can be seen complete.
In the Music section, under Sync, I see 1st line reading "Include music videos" but on the next line I only see "Include voice m..." and the following line I see "Automatically fill free space with songs". So why did the shorter sentence not display complete?
Very odd.

Mine is a brand new machine. Burning software was installed before iTunes was installed. I am looking at this article which points to a possible problem with the GEAR drivers: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
It also points to the afs.sys and afs2k.sys drivers as a potential problem. I've verified that I don't have these drivers on my machine.
When I go to the GEAR site, it tells you to manually uninstall the GEAR drivers and install the latest ones. First, manual uninstall which involves editing the registry. Really? While I'm quite the expert at registry editing, NO CONSUMER should ever be told to edit the registry to delete anything. Second, if in fact the GEAR drivers are the problem, shouldn't iTunes install the right ones? This is a prime example of poor software engineering at its core.

Getting iTunes for Windows to list all the songs in an album

Since updating iTunes for Windows to 12.1.2.27 (it runs on Win 7 complete with all the latest updates on a 64 bit Intel i5 processor, when adding a folder to the Library only the first (sometimes first few) songs get listed. If the album is played, all the songs are played. What needs to be done to correct this. Suspicions are that it is to do with the "get info" option that provides the same data to several "apparent album" entries when the folder is imported.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums.
For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

ITunes backup is not finding all the song files

I lost my external hard drive that held my iTunes folder. I had a backup on my drobo from 30 days ago so I copied this to a new external drive in a new "Music" folder.
This iTunes backup had not yet been consolidated and organized into a "iTunes Media' folder yet - that was what I had just lost with all of my updates and cleanup (which worked well - then). I figured I would have to do it all again.
When I opened up iTunes with the Option key and pointed it to the new Music/iTunes folder, it came up with all the movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, apps, songlists and songs listed but everyone of them had next to the file the "!" (Can not find file, do you want to locate?). I tried locating a dozen or so but iTunes would never relocate larger numbers on its own.
I tried consoldiating and re-organizing these files but I am always left with thousands and thousands of unreferenced files - even though this was the same folder structure and iTune Library and Music Library.xmls that were working a month ago on the old drive.
Any suggestions as to how to get this recent iTunes folder to "see" all the same files in this new location?
Thanks for any help,
Pheel
OSX 10.6.8
iTune 10.4

try this script:
iTunes Track CPR v1.3
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

Can't download Itunes for Windows (NOT 64 bit)

there is no itunes i can download that will work with NON-64 bit windows. I clicked on both version 11 and 10.7 and the download is 64 bit! where is the correct software?

+Could not open key:+
HKeyLocalmachine/software/mozillaplugins/@Apple.com/itunes
That's an unusual key to be getting an error on.
Does your XP user account have administrative rights? If, so let's have a look at the permissions on that key.
Go "Start > Run", type regedit and hit enter.
Expand HKEYLOCALMACHINE
Expand SOFTWARE
Expand MozillaPlugins
Right-click on the @apple.com/folder and select "Permissions".
Select your User Account name in the list.
Is there a check in the box under "Allow" next to "Full Control"?

Music purchased on iTunes for Windows not showing on iPhone

Bear with me here people. I am very experienced with Mac computers but know way too little about iDevices, iTunes, and especially Windows
A friend bought an iPhone about 3 months ago and has downloaded purchased music from her PC to her phone successfully since the purchase. Apparently, starting in the last day or so, she purchased music via the iTunes store and now can't find the songs on her phone.
So you have about as much info as I at this point. Any thoughts that I can relay to the lady in distress? A simple setting change?
Thanks in advance,
Allan

Itunes for windows not running when I open it

Brought new ipod nano, followed all instructions to the letter and have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled etc etc itunes about 20 times already and have had enough. My system is only 2 years old running windows xp and has the appropriate specifications, have turned off pop up blockers etc etc and still won't run. It says that quicktime and itunes has been successfully installed on my computer and quicktime will run when i click on the icon but when I go to click on itunes icon it does nothing not even an error message. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

ITunes for windows not starting

When I try to start iTunes from anywhere on my computer, be it desktop, applications list, or from the run option, I can't get it to work. The shortcut on the desktop flashes to a blank page icon and then nothing happens. Nothing seems to be loading or opening, and I've tried to redownload iTunes and tried every mode of opening it I know, but it still won't open. Help or tips would be appreciated.

ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

Hello,
I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.
Ilona T.

I now have itunes for windows 8 on my laptop and I cannot transfer a new song from my library to a playlist on my iPad mini using IOS 8.1.3

I upgraded to iTunes for windows on my Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop. I have not done any iTunes manipulations for many months. I just purchased a new song. I now have IOS 8.1.3 on my iPad Mini and I tried to move the new song from my library from my purchased file to a playlist. I can no longer click and drag the song from anything to the playlist. In addition, when I sync my iPad to my laptop none of my music from the iPad shows up in iTunes on the computer. Why does Apple continuously mess around with the simple actions of the program. It is very disheartening to be treated like this as a long time customer. This has happened so many times that I am getting the feeling that they seem to enjoy screwing up the users ability to use the program

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Check system requirements:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The main issue might be having too little RAM. Most computers run newer systems more smoothly with more RAM than Apple says is a "minimum" for running that system version
After installing 10.6.3 run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
The new system should install on top of the old one. That said, things have been known to go wrong and it makes sense to do a backup before installing the new system. In fact you seem to care about your files and things so you need to always have a backup because one day you will wake up and you hard drive will be dead and everrything on it gone. Buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or something to back up. The other risk is when you install the new iTunes. It doesn't happen frequently given the millions of users but there are daily posts here from people who for some reason the installation wiped out their whole library. If you have a backup then there's nothing to worry about.
This is well within what many people can do at home. It's a matter of inserting an optical disc and clicking you way through menus.

Unable to Burn CDs in iTunes for Windows: (Will not fit, but it should.)

I am attempting to fix an issue with a friend's iTunes for Windows. Although previously this computer using this media was able to burn audio CDs through iTunes, recently, an error has appeared before any burn. When loading the proper amount of time to fit on a CD, iTunes claims:
"The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD"
"Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them?"
"This will require more than one CD to complete."

Hey,
Under warranty you'd be better then to call into phone support, if something has to be done with the notebook, they'll be able to set that up with you.

TS3642 It is really unacceptable that I cannot transfer my garageband format songs from iPad to iTunes for windows and then add them to my new iPad. Any ideas?

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3642 tells me that this is not possible because garageband format songs are saved as folders.
I just want to transfer songs from one iPad to another. Why does Apple make things so hard?

Perhaps turingtest2's fix works for you to transfer your project to iTunes for Windows, see:
Re: Import a proyect from garage band to ipad
But if you want to transfer between two iPads, you could use iCloud to transfer directly between the devices, if the iPads support iCloud and you are using the same Apple ID on both iPads.
If you save the project (or better a duplicate of the project) to iCloud, you will be able to import it on the second iPad from the cloud.

How to delete duplicate songs itunes for windows?

How to delete multple duplicates of songs on Itunes for windows?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to. There are other ways to deal with deal links alone, but those won't preserve that information.
