ITunes won't let me drag and drop songs from library to my device.  Recently replaced the harddrive and have authorized it with iTunes.

Recently had to replace my harddrive on my PC and files were not recoverable from the failed drive.  Installed iTunes on the new drive and ripped some cd's into the library.  However, I cannot transfer these songs to any of our "i" devices in the house.  I authorized the new drive with iTunes and still no luck.  Anyone have any ideas?

Have you selected Manually Manage Music?

  • I can't drag and drop songs from library to playlists

    Unable to drag and drop songs from library into playlists, however I can drop them above or below playlists. That is no help in editing playlists! Seems to be after last iTunes up date.

    My mistake totally!!! I confused a new playlist folder with a new playlist.
    Just wanted to pass that along.

  • 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*.

    Why can't I drag and drop songs from iTunes to ipod

    Hi there ASA101,
    You may want to verify that you have "Manually Manage Music" enabled in iTunes. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on?

    I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on? I really would like to continue to utlize that feature because it makes learning to play songs easier. Any help would be appericated.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone 4 using iTunes 11?

    How do I manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPhone using iTunes 11?

    If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

  • How to manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

    In iTunes 10, it's simple to just drag and drop a few songs manually from the library/playlist to the Shuffle.  In iTunes 11, Shuffle has its own window.  How do you manually drag and drop songs from music library/playlist to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

  • Why cannot I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

    Actually I have two questions.  I just updated from Leopard to snow leopard.  Now when I import songs, it says "Do you want to import to burn playlist?"  I click "yes".  Then when it is finished copying, I go to "playlists" on the top of the screen and click on the "burn playlist" and it says there are no items.  Where did the songs go.  I would like to burn a playlist that I imported this way.  I haven't tried arranging songs in the order I want them yet, but now see that is an issue also.  I also used to see a list of my playlists on the left side of the screen and the songs within each of those playlists when I clicked on them and easily could drag and drop songs from one playlist to another.  How do I do the same functions that I used to do before I updated? Does this update make it impossible to do the same functions as before?  Where can I find a "manual" of sorts to direct me to explain this new format?  If there is no way to do these things, I will have to say that I want my old iTunes back.  Can I do so???  Actually, the only reason I updated was so that I could play pix and movies from my camera into iPhoto.  When I did so, it said I had to update other programs to get iPhoto to work.  I am trying very hard not to be very frustrated.  PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After poking around for a while figured how to do things in this new iTunes.  Not as intuitive as the old one.  Sorry I don't have time to tell what I figured out.  Maybe some other time.

  • Why can't I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

    All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop songs from one playlist to another.  The only way I can do it now is by selecting the song[s], right click on them, and then choose "Move to playlist...."  Any thoughts?

    Yes! This is really annoying. I don't know why they couldn't keep the functionality from the old version. The more I use the new iTunes the less I like it.

  • Recently replaced the harddrive in my macbook pro after months of inactivity, now my macbook pro won't start

    I own a summer 2008 model Macbook Pro.  Last year, my harddrive crashed but I had no way of fixing the macbook at the time.  Fast forward to yesterday, I replaced the harddrive in my Macbook Pro with a harddrive that I took from a western digital 320gb external hard drive.  Now the laptop isn't starting up.  I press the power button, the DVD drive seems to spin up and then...nothing.  No lights turn on, no other components make noise, the laptop simply stops booting.  Now, I haven't fully charged the battery (only about 40% charged based on the 5 indicator lights on the batter itself), so I was wondering whether or not a fully charged battery would make a difference.  Please let me know if you guys need clarification, I know I'm probably being very vague right now.
    Thanks!

    I appreciate your help, but please don't just put me down like that
    Most of the people that come on here, like yourself, don't actually give a resume of their level of experience. They are extremely vaigue, and based on the small paragraph of information it's up to us to try to gauge what level this person is at.
    This is an extremely difficult and frustrating thing to have to do, because if we get it slightly wrong either way, and people instantly take offence & go on the defensive. Even though we are all perfect strangers until 3 or 4 sentences ago!

  • HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

  • ITunes won't let me drag and drop music

    I have converted files from YouTube to mp3 and then put them in my iTunes library... but iTunes won't let me put them into my phone. I have manually manage music selected and it has allowed me to do so in the past (maybe 2 weeks ago). I'm just really frustrated now because I don't like syncing my entire library because iTunes somehow manages to forget the majority of my music's artwork which is important since I paid for all but 3 of the songs in my library. Help?

    Also, you may have to do this since the iPod may think the rebuilt computer is a new computer/iTunes library. Otherwise, you will only be able to manage videos and music manually.

  • Why can't I drag and drop songs from my PC onto my iTunes?

    Hi, I am unable to drag and drop music from my PC to iTunes.  I have always done it this way.  Anyone else having problems?

    Hi B-rock, yes I have tried adding to library but still no luck.  I am also up to date on the latest version on my iPhone and iPod.
    I ended up burning the MP3's to a CD then transporting them to my iTunes when I inserted the CD into my PC!
    This has only started happening since I updated!
