ITunes + iPod Touch snyc "drag and drop" not working...

I can't manually sync music to my iPod Touch 3rd gen because whenever I try to drag and drop the song list info thingy just flys back to place and also the green plus symbol dosen't show up... This used to work but now it doesn't... I have tried shutting down my iPod and shuttign down and restarting iTunes, and it still dosen't work...
Please help!

This might be too obvious an answer but have you checked your iPod's settings to make sure nothing has changed? Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos". If there's no check mark there then the iPod is no longer in the manual mode that allows you to drag and drop content.

You likely have a hardware problem like a dead battery. To rule out a software problem try the following in order:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why does drag and drop not work?

Why does drag and drop not work?

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers and firefox

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
This is a serious pain.
Please help.

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Hi,
Welcome posting in TechNet forum.
Do you mean the drag and drop action of files within different application?
We may take a try to disable the UAC settings and see if the drag and drop would work. And please note if we have UAC disabled, Windows Store APPs would be expected not going to work.
For the coding edit stuff, I suggest we keep focus on the MSDN thread.

LR5.7, drag and drop not working...suggestions?

Two days ago, drag and drop stopped working within lightroom (dragging a photo/photos from the filmstrip at the bottom to a different folder, or into a collection). The cursor on the screen stays an arrow when you click on a photo and hold the left mouse button down, it will highlight the image in the filmstrip or grid view, but will not do anything with it. I've never had anything like this happen before. iMac, 32gb ram, OSX 10.10.1, LR5.7.

Paul,
ok, standard support question on Windows: Does this also occur after reboot?
And my question refers to the right click >> Run as administrator option. It was not the question if your login has administrative rights.... sorry for the confusion.

Drag and Drop not working in iTunes (Mountain Lion)

Hello,
Earlier today the drag and drop function in iTunes stopped working.
It was working yesterday and this morning, but no longer.
I have not updated any software in a few days, but I did install
JAVA 7 right before it stopped working. I have since deleted the Java 7 files
in Library necessary for ridding my computer of it.
Drag and drop is still fully functional in Finder, Mail, etc
It seems to be broken only in iTunes.
I don't have any clue why this has happened.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
iTunes 10.7 (21) 64bit
Mac OS X 10.8.2

Does anybody have any ideas?
I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
Thanks!

Drag and Drop not working in iTunes 12.1.0.71

I've been working with iTunes on a PC for years - so I'm embarrassed I can't figure this out. As recently as a few weeks ago, I could drag and drop movies and music from Windows Explorer into iTunes 12.1.0.71- now it's not working. Even using the menus for File - Add File to the Library isn't working. Did something change in this release?

Sorry 1 correction on my earlier post. Install iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16) NOT 12.1.0.71!
Thanks Guys! This fixed me up.
I uninstalled
- All Apple Packages
- Bonjour
- iTunes
- Quick Time packages
Deleted the Apple, iTunes, & Quick Times folders:
- c:\Program Files
- c:\Program Files (x86)
- C:\Program Data
- C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Local
- C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\LocalLow
- C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Roaming
Rebooted
Sorry 1 correction on my earlier post. Install iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16) NOT 12.1.0.71!
Installed the newest QuickTime 7.7.6
and Bingo! Hopefully the next iTunes release addresses the issue moving forward.
Thanks Again!

Drag and drop not working in itunes?

I've recentlt udated to Snow Leopard and my itunes id up to date. First thing I noticed is that many things I used to do via drag and drop won't work anymore. or instance, i create a play list then I want to dag songs to it but it won't do it. I have to right click on the file and then select 'add to play list' and choose which playlist to add to. next, I want to rearrange the order of songs in a playlist and before I wold just click on the song and drag it up or down into the spot I want. Well It won't let me do it. Basically you need to add tracks in the order you want the first time.
What's going on here, is this the way it is now or am I doing something wrong. BTW, I'm a long time mac user (since early 90s) and this is the most non intuitive experience I have ever had on a mac.

well I discovered the problem after some research. It seems that if you have a wacom tablet and mouse, your mac won't allow you to do some drag and drop features. I have a microsoft mouse attached as well and it works fine.

Drag and Drop not working in iPhoto

I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, and recently when I try to drag and drop in iPhoto, it stops working. I want to drag photos from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in order to upload those pictures online. I have never had a problem with drag and drop in Snow Leopard, but suddenly Lion does not want to let me do it.
I checked around and found out about repair permissions, which I did, then I restarted the computer. Drag and Drop worked for a few minutes, then all the sudden it wouldn't let me again. I was in the same album, trying to drag and drop the same group of pictures, and nothing had changed when it just stopped working again. I really don't want to have to restart the computer EVERY time it wont let me do this. Does anyone have any other advice? Command copy/paste works for now, but drag and drop is just easier so I'd like to get the issue resolved! Oh, and my software is completely up to date as well.

Does anybody have any ideas?
I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,

Drag and drop not working

I use iTunes on my PC and sync my iPod to it.This has worked fine for a few years now.
Suddenly this morning I can no longer add mp3 files to iTunes from my PC using drag and drop.
Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

I'm afraid it's not a very helpful response but I have the same problem. I think it was triggered by a change I made - I had a CD made up of tracks by various artists and they weren't grouped together, so I selected them all, pressed 'get info', changed the composer to 'various artists' and ticked the compilation box. Since then whenever I try to drag and drop files from utorrent into itunes nothing happens

Drag and Drop not Working right

Since last upgrading to 8.0.2 I have been experiencing problems when trying to Drag and Drop songs into playlists. When I click and hold a song to drag, it will not consistently hold the song. Sometimes it won't hold at all, sometimes when dragging it will bounce the song back to where I clicked on it and sometimes it will just drop wherever it wants to.
I am also having the same problem when trying to manually drag playlists to my 4GB nano. I have iTunes set to do automatic for my 80 GB iPod Video which works fine, but I set it to manual for the nano.
When dragging a playlists they sometimes will let go over another playlists as I am moving it and wind up in that one. Other times it will not let me get near the nano and will jump back to where it was. It is very erratic and frustrating.
Is this an issue with this version og iTunes?
Thanks,
Jim

No-one seems to know jim. Apple don't care about all these bugs in Leopard. They'll release Snow Leopard later this year probably and tell us all to upgrade to that, because it works better.
Guess I will just have to stick with this flawed OS until I can afford to buy a linux machine.
