ITunes won't allow me to drag and drop songs into playlists
Running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4 (80).
I cannot drag and drop songs within iTunes to create playlists or move songswithin playlists.
Here's what I've already tried:
-Reset iTunes Store cahce
-Log out & in of iTunes Store
-Quit & Restart itunes
-Rebuilt iTunes library (by moving iTunes Library.xml file and getting rid of .itl file)
-Checked info on iTunes folders so that permissions are both read & write
-Restart computer
-dug through a discussion of this problem on MacRumors and none of those solutions worked.
Getting frustrated and hate that I have to dig around in discussions and wait for the community to figure this out instead of Apple answering and solving the problem when their software doesn't work.
Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Aaaarrgh!
No, I haven't had any solution to this problem. None of the myriad of possible solutions work. Doesn't someone from Apple monitor these boards? I've given up in getting it fixed and am seriously ****** at the lack of response on Apple's part without me paying for an answer. This is a ridiculous way to support software, where I have to troll around a discussion board hoping someone stumbled upon a solution and will actually reply to this thread.
Considering the amount of Apple products that I own, you'd think I could get a freakin' response. Here's are the amount of apple products in my house, all bought within the past 3 years-
Mac Pro Quad Core
15" MacBook Pro
13" Macbook Air
3 Mac Minis
Three iPad's
2 iPhone 4's
2 iPod Touch's
But because it's on my Mac Pro, which is 1 1/2 years old, I can't get an answer to this! ***.

Can't drag and drop songs into playlists
Does anyone know why I can't seem to drag and drop a song into a playlist I have created........I can drop songs into the untitled playlist but none of the others. Please help! Thanks.
Almost certainly, the reason no one understands your issues is because you haven't explained them well enough.

I can hear alarm bells. It really isn't good.

So you haven't fixed it yourself, despite saying that you have.
Okay, stop with those negative waves.
Have you checked to make sure that the Playlist you are trying to add to is a Regular Playlist...
and not a Smart Playlist...
or a Playlist Folder...
In addition to all of this, the original question was asked 18 months ago, before iTunes 11. So is your problem that you cannot work out how to create a new playlist? For example, at which point do you get stuck with this new Playlist, creating it, or adding to it? -
No longer able to drag and drop songs into playlists on iPhone?
How's it going, I had to reset my phone the other day and I was able to add a playlist to the iPhone, but now it wont let me add selected songs to the playlist on my iPhone, only sync it through the playlist on my iTunes. What happened?
Nvm I figured it out, the option I was looking for was under Summary on the iPhone "manually manage music and videos"

GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.
GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline. It did before, now all of a sudden it won't... anyone know why?
I am dragging them from iTunes, and it has never been an issue before. I have used AAC, MP3, and AIFF before and never had an issue.
Is there a setting possibly that I need to change?Same with me, Lion is a cool OS but the updates iTunes has nothing but problems. I can't even drag song to my desktop. You can try finding the song through iTunes music folder but the song I wanted wasn't there. To get there look at this artical http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391. to help you find that song.

Can't drag and drop songs into a new playlist
I can't seem to drag and drop songs from my itunes library into a new playlist in order to burn a cd. Any suggestions? I've tried closing out and restarting but that didn't work. thanks!
You may have clicked one of the categories that reordered your sonds (ie Name or Artist). This make is override any drag and drop. To allow drag & drop within a playlist:
Look near the top at the Title of your playlist
Click on the far left hand column (probably has numbers in it). This organinzed songs by the numbers listed there instead of by Name or Artist or whatever....
Now you should be able to drag & drop.
Hope this helps. Blessings! -
When I try to drag and drop song into my ipod I get a black circle with a diagonal line through it?
Im trying to drag and drop songs from a new playlist that I have created but a black circle with a line through it appears meaning it wont allow me to put this song onto my ipod. I cant drag and drop any songs! ITUNES IS A NIGHTMARE TO WORK WITH AND IS NO WAY USER FRIENDLY - I HATE IT!!!!
It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the iPod's contents. If that's the case, make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under your iPod's Summary tab. See this article for more information.

ITunes 11.1 and iOS 7.0.3 won't allow me to drag-and-drop videos onto my iPad?
I finally updated my iPad 2 (16 GB; Wi-Fi) with the new iOS 7 update (7.0.3), and now it won't let me drag-and-drop items from my iTunes library anymore. It starts to, it seems. iTunes says "Preparing to sync" and then that just disappears, and nothing else happens.
Just the other night, I drag-and-dropped some songs onto my iPad (since my iPhone wasn't allowing me to, so I added them to my iPad instead; I'm getting a new iPod touch soon anyways, so this is only temporary), and it worked just fine. This was before I updated my iOS 7 (iTunes was already at 11.1).
I've restarted iTunes...many times...
I've restarted my iPad...many, many times...
I've restarted the PC...again...
Checked my storage space; I have plenty for these six videos I want to add on here...
I have had this iPad set on "manually manage" since I bought it. It has never known any different. I've manually synced movies from my old MacBook (backlight dead, and it's not worth the money I'd have to pay to replace it, since this is the second-to-last MacBook Apple made, so it isn't worth much anymore; and this MacBook still has Mac OSX 10.5, so iTunes 11 won't even work with it, so I haven't synced anything from it in MONTHS...), and to my last PC laptop (charging port is broken, so it won't charge even though it works fine when the battery is full; unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to ordering the new part yet). I've only added three songs from this "new PC" that I'm borrowing. To my knowledge, it doesn't matter how many different libraries you "sync" to a "manually managed" device, right? Besides, I just synced music from this third library last week!!
What I just don't understand is why it let me the other day, and now it won't.
And before I updated tonight, my PC didn't even recognize my iPad. So I pretty much HAD to install that iOS 7 update that had been in my Settings since it came out.
What is going on? I'm kind of sick of this...the only option it seems is to just completely sync to this one computer, but I'll lose pretty much everything except the few songs I put on here, and my videos. I have pictures and apps and notes/documents that I DO NOT want to lose.
Any suggestions?Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
My other PC was:
Windows 7 Ultimate
My MacBook is:
Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it. -
My PC has all of my iTunes and it recognizes my iPhone 4 device but I cannot drag and drop the songs. How do I copy the songs to my new iPhone without having to re-purchase everything? Unfortunately, It appears I no longer have iTunes Music Library.xml on my PC.
My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks -
HT1349 new itunes update won't allow me to drag and drop a playlist
Hi
I've downloaded the new iTunes update but I can't seem to do a drag and drop with playlists from my PC/mac onto my external Apple devices (2x iPads, iPod and my iPhone)
Is this lost functionality or a new "feature"
I don't want iCloud and Home Sharing doesn't work for me...
Any ideas....?
I can include songs onto a device but only one at a time wheras I need to drag the whole playlist...No, I haven't had any solution to this problem. None of the myriad of possible solutions work. Doesn't someone from Apple monitor these boards? I've given up in getting it fixed and am seriously ****** at the lack of response on Apple's part without me paying for an answer.

I had to reformat after a bad virus and reinstall iTunes. Now when I try to drag and drop a song into a custom playlist, it won't add the song. Instead of the green + that is supposed to appear, it just shows the circle with cross slash. I created numerous playlist before and never ran into this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks 1ngiri
OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again. -
Almost all of my songs have become located in a My Music folder within the general library of the harddrive of my laptop and are no longer in itunes. When I try to play a song I get the message - "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to find it?"
This works but is impractical as it would take years import all of these songs back into itunes one at atime. How do I import all of the songs from the My Music library folder on my harddrive into itunes? Please helpPlaylists are ones I have created, not smart Playlists
You can create either smart playlists (they are purple) or regular (blue) playlists. -
I can't drag and drop songs into iTunes
I got this problem since I updated iTunes to latest version, I'm running Windows 7 32 bits and i don't freaking have a Wacom tablet
I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.
