Can't drag playlists into folders anymore.

I am using iTunes 10.4. Have approx. 25,850 songs organized into folders and sub-folders. I have organized this way for years. Today, I am unable to drag any playlist into any folder. What happened?

I use Wacom Intuos3 and have just had the same issue. All my playlists have disappeared and I can no longer drag and drop tunes. Also discovered it's a Wacom/Apple issue - but I have no idea why it has happened all of a sudden. Have posted a separate question.
Hope all works out for you soon - I thought playlists for 7,000+ tunes was a lot...

Can't drag playlists

I have a problem with playlists. I'm running the latest version of iTunes, although I'm not sure when the problem stared. When I try to organize my music by dragging playlists into folders in iTunes, some at first, and now must playlists wont move. I try to drag them to a new folder or sub folder and they just keep their position, like if they are stuck. Anyone else with this issue?

Have you set the iPod to 'Manually Manage Music?"

Exchange 2010 / outlook 2010 | can't drag messages to folders

Why can't I drag a message to a folder?

Hi,
Have you tried this in Outlook safe mode? To start Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.
In addition, we may try to recreate the .ost file to check if this issue is related to Data File corruption. To do this, just find the .ost file and rename it to .old, then restart Outlook.
I also heard that some user were able to resolve this issue by hitting the
Esc key from keyboard. See a similar issue discussed here:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Itunes 10.5 beta - can't create playlists, drag n drop doesn't work

I used 10.5 beta and now I create a new playlist but can't drag and drop my files to it. Any ideas?

10.5 has not be released to the general public since it is a BETA, so this is not the place to ask for help with this. Since the BETA is available officially for registered developers only, as a registered developer you have direct access to the appropriate Apple personnel for this and access to the developer's discussions area.

10.4 can;t drag playlists

right over the last few days I don;t seem to be able to drag anyplaylists into folders, iphone or anywhere else anymore. not sure if this has happened since updating to Lion and latest version of itunes (10.4) but I've only just noticed it. Really annoying to put it mildly!
Anyone else experienced this or now what the problem may be, or how to fix it? Just downloaded an album, created a smart playlist from the purchased section but now can't do anything with the playlist or even get it onto my iphone. No idea what's going on.

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 files and folders to iTunes

You're supposed to be able to drag files and folders from windows into iTunes, either just to add them to the library or to a specific device or playlist. However, when I try to do this now it just shows a little red circle with a slash like when you try to copy songs from an ipod to a computer. I can still add files by the 'add file to library' function but this makes it a lot harder to add stuff to the right playlists on my iPod. How do I get this to work again?
I have iTunes 10.7, but I have tried iTunes 11 and it has the same problem.

iTunes for Mac (unlike iTunes for Windows) cannot convert WMA files. You will need to use another Mac program, such as EasyWMA, to convert them into an iTunes compatible format.

I recently installed iTunes 4.3 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore?

I recently installed iTunes 4.3.5 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore. Every time I try to drag the music from a folder into the library, that little circle with the line thru it comes up (not allowed symbol). I've been using iTunes for years and am pretty computer savvy... I have no idea what the problem is. The only way I can add music right now is if I go to File>Add File to Library and that takes way too long, especially when adding 20-30 songs. I am using Windows 7 and I have an iPhone 4. Please help! This is extremely frustrating.

No, sorry... you did not. There is no iTunes 4.3.5.
What did you actually install? iOS 4.3.5 on your iPhone? If so, this has NO affect on the ability to manually manage media via iTunes.
Let's start over... tell us exactly what has been done.

Can't drag files or folders.

I have just recently bought a Macbook Pro running Lion OS X 10.7.2.
I have been transferring folders within my 1T external using my mac. I was draging folders and files fine until suddenly one file had a blue highlight. It would not go away unless I deleted the file. When I did that, the blue highlight went to the next file. As soon as the blue highlight problem occurred, I was and am still unable to drag files or folders at all. This problem does not only occur in the external hard drive but throughout my mac.
This is the first mac I've had before, so im curious as to whether it's a simple problem such as me accidentily locking it somehow.
I have tried restarting the computer (which worked the first time only) and also checked and repaired the permissions for all users and the problem is still occuring.
I hope this is enough information to explain the problem I am having.

Does the DVD-R have a very long name? If so, see:
*Unable to copy or move files from volume that has a long name*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2053
If this seems to be the problem you'd probably have to try burning a new DVD with a shorter name, since you can't rename the present DVD.

I can't drag anything, files, folders, pictures, etc.

This is a problem within my Finder, and on my Desktop. I need help!
I have tried to Sleep and Wake with no luck! I need help!

Can't drag files or folders from DVD-R in Finder

When I try to drag a folder from a DVD-R to my MacBook Pro, i get the "can't do this" icon, a circle with a line thru it. i can't drag any of the files inside the folder to my mac either. (It's a pro tools project folder.)
haven't run into this before. a colleague tried to do it and it failed on her computer too. another colleague tried using snow leopard and was successful. any ideas why this isn't working for me?

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

Can't drag and drop folders in Mail

I have a lot of folders in Mail, and I can only drag and drop a folder among the set of folders that is visible at a given time. If I need to drag the folder up or down, to an area that must be scrolled to, it does not work. This started when I upgraded to Yosemite.

It means don't open the Contacts app, open in in Mail: ⌥⌘A
I found another solution: type the name of the address group I need in the to: field.
Thank you anyway.
That's just the Previous Recipients.

Can't drag playlists or songs in itunes

I can drag songs or playlists in itunes to manually load my ipod in pc, but not in mac ..... wanting to load up new ipod with existing playlists

I was adding songs to my iPod playlist and not even 2 minutes in to the task I could no longer drag and drop songs into ANY of my playlists. I could just as easily right-click and the songs would go without problem.
I've just got off the phone with Apple Support and all he had me do was download the most recent security update. I believe the only reason I was asked to do with was so my Macbook would not just restart, but also refresh all of the apps as well.
So far so good. KMFC.

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 ??
