ITunes locks up when I drag-and-drop video file into library

I have some videos that I have on my computer that I want to add to my library but when I drag and drop them into my library iTunes freezes. I never had any problems with this before. The format is right. I used a program to convert them and other videos worked but this one.

What version of iMovie?
What Device?
Have tried to restart, soft reset your device?
What is the video audio source?
This forum is for iMovie iOS (ipads & iphones).
Are you referring to iMovie Mac?
If so I can get your post moved.

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.

Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
como lo dice aqui :

3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion.

Set default import format when drag and drop sound file into multitrack view?

I've looked around the preference panels but cannot find where to set the import settings for dragging and dropping sound files into multitrack view. Some of our computers have correct settings and others do not. Thanks for your help!

I should have been more specific, sorry... I mean bit depth and bit rate... On some machines this defaults correctly and on other machines it is wrong. Not sure how to set these to downconvert properly by default. Unless it automatically takes the format of the source file, in which case it's just been luck.
Thanks,

What's up when you drag and drop a table into a jsp page?

Hi All,
I was wondering what's happen in dragging and drop a table into a jsp page. This question because untill yesterday i had an application up and running, with a table displaying a number of rows of the database, and an action associated with an update into a database.
The action is managed trough JNDI, defined from Preference-Embedded.......
It was working.
Then the machine hosting the db changed IP addres. I went into Webcenter Administration console, I've changed the connection string into the jdbc parameters, by updating the new IP address... but it's not working anymore! The log comes out with a big error, but basically it can't connect at the db!
So, I think there is somewhere some reference to the old db.....where???
Thanks
Claudio

Yes Shay,
I got this error:
JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.DMLException, msg=JBO-26061: Error while opening JDBC connection.
in few hours I'll be able to give you the full stack.
Thanks
Clauido

Hi Shay,
Thanks a lot..you were right.
I've located the ba4j on the webcenter server...and I've noticed that it was with the old address.
I think it's a bug, cause on the local machine (before to deploy) this file comes with the right address.
So next time, before to redeploy a new application, I think I'm going to fiscally delete the folder from j2ee folder.
Thanks again for the help!

Drag and drop music files into i-tunes

hi i have suddenly started having a problem in dragging music or video files into i-tunes when i try i get what i can only describe as a no entry sign ie a circle with a red line through it and my file refuse to go to i-tunes
does any one know how to overcome this
thanks in advance
steve
ps i have uninstalled/reinstalled i-tunes 2 or 3 time to no avail so any help would be appreciated

I fixed the drag and drop issues I had! Turns out they were caused by the permission problems of Vista. To fix it I just made sure all the files in the iTunes folder and sub folders were full control by my account.
Make sure you check the properties of the iTunes database specifically because before, the iTunes folder had the correct permissions but they hadn't actually been inherited correctly by the iTunes DB files. Hope this helps anyone else.

I download firefox 5.0 and now I'm having trouble dragging and dropping PDF files into Google Docs and I can't view the PDF once uploaded. I had no problems with this in the previous verion of Firefox

With firefox 5.0 I can't drag and drop pdf files in the google docs screen. When I do eventually get a pdf file uploaded I can't view it. I get "no preview available". In my previous verion of firefox (4.something) I had no problems with this and I was able to drag and drop and after uploaded I could view the entire file.

Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Can I just drag and drop song files into iTunes?

I have about 50 folders on my PC (Windows 7), each containing between 5 and 15 songs. These are under My Music/ on the PC.
On my Mac, I have about 1000 songs with about 25 Playlists. Some of these Playlists on the Mac contain the same songs as in the folders of the PC.
I want to transfer the songs from the PC to the Mac. I did not want to go through them one by one on each computer to see which of the files on the PC were already on the Mac.
I can look at the PC (My Music) folders and the Mac (iTunes) Playlists side by side on the Mac.
If I see a missing song on the Mac Playlist folder, can I just drag and drop that particular song from the PC folder into the Mac Playlist?
If I see that a Playlist does not exist that would need to be available for the specific folder contents on the PC, can I create the Playlist on the Mac and then, drag and drop all of the songs from the PC folder to the new Playlist?
Would this be the easiest way to accomplish the transfer of the songs?
Thanks

If I understand that all correctly then yes.

TS1363 my itunes will not let me drag and drop any music into my library

i have reinstalled my itunes and and restarted my computer and nothing is working

I have transferred all my music to a different computer, but now will not let me drag and drop to create playlists
Drew,
Are you sure that those are regular playlists (music note symbol) and not smart playlists (gear symbol)? Smart playlists populate themselves according to their rules, and you cannot drag songs into them.

Drag-and-drop of files into libraries is now buggy

When dragging song files from the finder and dropping them into an iTunes Playlist, the transfer would typically begin within a couple of seconds. Now it is highly inconsistent, sometimes taking minutes or simply not happening.
For years I've kept my song files on an external drive with no difficulty, but with the latest iTunes and Lion the drag-and-drop bug is persistent.
Before coming to this forum I dragged some newly minted MP3 files from my iMac internal to an existing iTunes Playlist. It now sits in limbo, with the files appearing in gray in the Playlist, but not being transferred. I shall have to quit iTunes and try again. This never happened before the latest software updates.
When this happens it is also necessary for force quit iTunes some of the time.

The title says "libraries" but I means Playlists, of course.

Itunes won't let me drag-n-drop .m4r files into the 'TONES' library (for ringtones)

Can anyone help? I have created ringtones by converting my song to AAC, then shortening it to 40 seconds, then saving it as .m4r file extention. I have changed my preferences to show "Tones" library in my iTunes. Only problem is, iTunes won't accept the ringtone when I try to add it. I tried to add it by grabbing it from Finder and dropping it into iTunes...but nothing adds??? Any suggestions?

In order to drag and drop, you need to have the box next to "Manually manage..." on the iPad summary pane checked.
This was changed (in V 10.0?)
Items dragged to the iPad/iPod will still get copied over, even when not manually managing.
Select the tabs across top and the dragged items show up at the very bottom under *Manually added*.

Drag and drop photo files into photo lab website for uploading photos, worked in old version but not in new version.

drag and drop ability not available in new version. I am trying to upload a large number of photo file to an online photo site for processing and the drag and drop does not work it did on the old version.

Nothing to be fixed. Just a little learning for you.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Can't drag and drop iMovie files into iDVD project

I created a bunch of iMovie projects, went through the share/media browser process. They show up as icons in iDVD but when I try to drag and drop them, I don't get the green plus sign and they don't drop. I've tried both widescreen and standard settings, in both iMovie and iDVD, matching them up - still won't drop.

What's the path to the file? Is it on an external drive? A network drive? A mapped drive? Can you try copying the file to your desktop and dragging it from there?
It's on an external e-sata drive. No problem accessing the file from within Premiere. Just can't drop it into Encoder. Doesn't work if I drag to desktop and try from there either.
Are you dragging it in from Windows Explorer? If not, then what app are you dragging from?
Yes, from Explorer.
Are you dragging the actual clip or a shortcut to it?
Actual clip.
Have you tried importing via File > Add Source...? [Double-clicking a blank spot in the Queue gets you to the same Open dialog.]
Yep, tried that. No luck. Double clicking and adding didn't work either.
Definitely only seems to be QT files. Have tried H264 files from 7D camera and ProRes files. No luck. Files that are MP4 work fine.
