Manual sync drag & drop with many playlists

Ok I do not want to automatically sync my itunes with either my iPod or iPhone - end of story. I have 1000's of songs. I also organize my music by creating playlists, not just by artist but also DJ playlists. I have more single songs then entire albums. For years I've found the drag & drop highly irritating as it's the only way - that I know - to put a playlist manually on external devices. What I do instead is use a bullet or spaces before my playlist so they're at the top of the iTunes list but this is very tedious and and time consuming. I then have to remove the bullets/spaces once I've finished.
Is there something I'm missing here? With every update of iTunes I'm hoping something as simple as "sync selected playlist to external device" in some form will show up. What's the story? Why is something so convenient and simple not available?

Agreed!!! If I'm missing something here please let me know but to manually drag and drop play lists is not an option for me. I arrange all my music in play lists (as mentioned above). I need a way of safely backing up the lists in case they get lost / damaged / accidentally erased (I can't tell you how frustrating it is to hit the delete button by mistake - to lose a play list when all I wanted to do was delete a single track).......
Currently my ipod is my only way off backing up the lists. I'm also constantly updating these lists, so to manually go and back up each play list would take weeks.....
Backing up the data list (XML) wont do either. I need a way of backing the play list and actual tracks that are included in the list. I know a lot of people who share this concern.
Apple, please help....

Whenever i try to manually sync my iPhone with a new playlist on iTunes (on my laptop), it always gets stuck in step 7, Waiting for changes to be applied, and then nothing happens. I'm running the latest operating systems on both my iPhone 5 and macbook

I really don't appreciate the fact that no one from Apple seems to be dealing with the many, many threads that have started on this topic since iOS 7 came out. In any event, I seem to have solved my problem with a full software restoration -- that is, iOS software restoration.
I clicked on "Restore iPhone..." which does a complete reinstall of the iOS but also all apps, photos, songs, etc. Took about 45 minutes, but seems to have worked.
I had previously tried reverting to a backup of my iPhone, but that did not solve the problem. Only a full restore solved it.

HT1386 I cannot sync my iPod with the Playlists that I want. For example, I have all the songs in my classical Playlist checked but it doesn't appear in my iPod after syncing. Also I don't get an opportunity to review sync options.

Hello Jefflo64,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with syncing music to your iPod. For issues like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPod.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPod by unchecking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply," then checking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Is there a way to prevent iCloud from duplicating songs downloaded if I manually sync my iPhone with my PC?

Is there a way to prevent iCloud from duplicating songs downloaded if I manually sync my iPhone with my PC?

You can avoid duplicates by only syncing with iCloud (Wi-Fi) or iTunes but not both.

RE: Drag & Drop with ListView

By the way, has anyone tried to drag & drop a node from a listview to a
treeview? I can drag a node from the listview. But when I drop it into
the treeview, how can I find out which node of the treeview that I drop
into? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try to change the state of the DVNodeText of the list view to FS_DRAG.
For example,
<MyListView.DVNodeText>.state = FS_DRAG. This may solve your problem.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Drag & Drop with ListView
Hi all,
I am currently implementing a drag and drop between a listview and a
treeview in Forte 3E.
The TreeView has an IsDraggable attribute that allows me to drag treeview
items while also highlighting the selected node. Unfortunately this isn't
the case with the ListView control. If I put the ListView in a draggable
state I can't see which node was selected.
Can anyone supply a solution to draggiing from a ListView while also
highlighting the node being dragged?

Sync TomTom 910 with iPod playlist

Hi there, I posted this message before, but some thing went wrong I guess...
I recently purchased a TomTom 910 GPS car navigation system with a 20GB harddisk (about 10GB available). The TomTom manual says the TT can import iTunes playlists, but without any further info... Can anyone tell me how to do this? I have a playlist in iTunes which I use to sync my pod and I want to sync my TomTom with the same playlist. I have already installed TomTomHome etc. And will the TT accept mp4 files? The manual only mentions mp3.
Thanks,
Nick.

Sorry, can't help with your problem. You may need to talk with TomTom support. But your previous post, if you're still looking for it, is here:

Simple drag&drop with handler doesn't work in Edge?

Hi all!
I made this very simple example of Drag&Drop in Edge: http://www.terredainventare.it/simpledrag/simpledrag.html using Jquery Ui http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Draggable.
I try to use the JQueryUi "handle" property that makes you drag an object restricting drag click on only one element but it doesn't work.
Here's the code I've put in Edge onCompositionReady:
sym.$("drag").draggable({ handle:"handler" });
Of course my two Div-elements are called "drag" and "handler". Now the drag works only on the "wrong" element and not on the "handle".....
Here's the Adobe Edge files: http://www.terredainventare.it/simpledrag/web.zip
Many thanks in advance for your help!

So, on stage i add a rectangle named "drag" and i try this code:
yepnope({
            nope:[
            'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js',
            'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css'
            complete: init
function init() {
         //$("#Stage_drag").draggable();
         //$(sym.lookupSelector("drag")).draggable();
         sym.$("drag").draggable();
3 lines work: $("#Stage_drag").draggable() or $(sym.lookupSelector("drag")).draggable() or sym.$("drag").draggable()
And css file is not required.
Well, your dowload link is not perfect but i download your folder. See you later.
There is a tutorial: a movie tutorial (adobe tv). Mix it baby! Extending Edge Animate 02:57
They use: yepnope (both, callback)
yepnope({
     both: ['jquery-ui.min.js',
               'jquery-ui.css'
     callback: function(){sym.$("drag").draggable()}
I will send you your files tomorrow (private message).

Can't Drag & Drop Songs into Playlists

I am astounded that this appears to be such a wide spread issue and there do not seem to be any useful responses to the issue. I have always been able to drag music from my iTunes library into playlists I have already created. Now the playlists I previously created (they were not created as genius playlists) all have a funny "gear wheel" shaped symbol next to them and will not accept anything dragged from the library. If I create a new playlist (which now shows a "purchased music" symbol) and give it the name of one of the already created playlists, I can drag library music into it, but I don't want to have to recreate every playlist and manually re-drag every song into the playlists. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

I have about 50 playlists that I created as playlists and have always been able to add songs to as I purchased them. The lists were originally created as regular playlists. Then, one day I opened up iTunes and all the existing playlists I had created as playlists, and has always added songs to, had the "gear" symbols and acted like genius playlists. How can I change them back and why did this happen...any ideas?

Drag & drop with Safari

I use a language site that needs the drag and drop gesture to match words with their meaning. When I try this on ipad's safari, it scrolls the page instead. Is there a way to turn off the scrolling so Safari responds to the drag and drop gesture?

First, you aren't speaking to Apple here. This is strictly a user-user forum set up to provide technical support. If you want to make the request to Apple then do it via the iPad Feedback Form — http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
First, though, you may stop and wonder about how Drag & Drop is already working in iOS in any number of apps, which, by the way, does include Safari. It may not work on some particular site that you're interested in, but certainly does in others.

Doing drag drop with HandPointers

As first seen on this thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6b8d6251-c59a-46c7-9da8-b912cb16dfab/kinectregionaddhandpointerhandler?forum=kinectv2sdk
Take a look at http://1drv.ms/VQxR00
I've zipped up a DragDropElement implementation and a DragDropSample page.
You can place those 3 files in ControlsBasics-WPF in the Pages folder. Then add the following to the SampleDataSource -- put it near the KinectPointerPointSample reference in SampleDataSource.cs:
            group1.Items.Add(
                     new SampleDataItem(
                         "Group-1-Item-6",
                         "Drag Drop",
                         string.Empty,
                         SampleDataSource.lightGrayImage,
                         "Shows how to implement a DragDropElement",
                         itemContent,
                         group1,
                         typeof(DragDropSample)));
Would love feedback about this.

This is a nice example of how to move a rectangle around a Canvas in Kinect...
But how can it interact with other objects? In my case ones that have AllowDrop="True"?
For example: If I put your DragDropElement around an Image then shift it up to a Canvas that is subscribed to the Drop event nothing is fired upon letting go.
The mouse equivalent of:
private void ImagePreview_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
DragDrop.DoDragDrop((DependencyObject)sender, ((Image)sender).Source, DragDropEffects.Copy);
private void Canvas_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
foreach (var format in e.Data.GetFormats())
ImageSource imageSource = e.Data.GetData(format) as ImageSource;
if (imageSource != null)
// Do something...
Thanks,

Drag & Drop with Fdev6iR2 on Linux / Adding object to an object group

Hi all
I experienced a very annoying bug in Forms Developer 6i Release II for Linux when I tried to add a Object to an Object group.
The drag & drop simply doesn't work and there seems to be no way to work around this.
Has anybody an idea whether there's another way to add an object to an objectgroup or what could cause this error?
I'm using KDE 1.1.2-48 on XFree86 4.0.1-1 with Motif WM 1.2.4-3glibc installed, maybe this helps one of you...
Thanks very much...

Manually sync podcasts - problems with Itunes

When attempting to manually sync podcasts to my Ipod, I can only manually click every other episode. Just started when I downloaded the update to Itunes.

Right click on the iPod icon in the Source list and choose Sync from the menu that appears. You should also check when it's connected that the manual mode has not been enabled and auto switched off somehow.

Reordering drag drop with manual application

Here's some pseudo MXML of what I'm dealing with:
<vbox id=1>
     <box/>
     <box/>
     <box/>
</vbox>
<vbox id=2>
     <box/>
</vbox>
I've applied manual drag event listeners to everyone and can easily drag and drop from one vbox to another. Where it goes awry is when I try to reorder the boxes. What happens is the vbox container picks up all the drag events (enter,over,etc) but none of the children do. I know a lot of the canned components like list and datagrid allow for reordering but for some reason this manual approach (which is necessary) isn't working.
I've tried adding mouseEnabled=true on all the boxes to no avail. I've spent a day scouring forums and documentation to no avail.
Any direction someone could point me in would be very beneficial.

Kind of a bump, but worth adding - Ever since ActionScript 2 in Flash you've had something called a hitTest that allows you to basically do collision logic. So, if I drag one of my child <mx:Box> items around I can have a logic trap that says: 1. Which <mx:Vbox> parent container does this hitTest belong to? 2. Which child <mx:Box> does the freshly dropped <mx:Box> have a positive hitTest on. In that sense you can figure out what the user intended to do based on who he's dropping things on (or she of course).
Whats missing from the built in FLEX Drag classes (at least that I've found so far) is the ability to do collision detection not only on the parent container but with the child elements inside that container. Right now, it blocks ANY flavor of the drag and drop events to child objects. I'm not sure if that's bubbling, is it? Either way. I can do it the old way with hitTest collision checks but I'm sooooo close to being able to use the native DragEvents. Plus, that means I'll have to write a class to handle data arrays being moved from one place to another which is just duplicating what's "almost perfect".
Just point me in a direction guys, anything is better than the brick wall I'm stuck behind right now.

Manually Syncing iPod Touch With iTunes

On my old iPod Classic I had it set up where I could download music into iTunes and manually drag the album to my iPod. I can't remember how to set it up so I can do that with my iPod Touch. Right now it is syncing automatically and I don't want it to do that. I want to be able to load music from iTunes to my iPod and then delete them off of iTunes. but I also want them to stay on my iPod after I delete them from iTunes.

Check the Manually manage music box.

Permanent list of duplicates using drag & drop with iPhoto 11

Every time I drag and drop a photo into iPhoto 11 from a website or other source, I'm asked if I want to also add every other photo I've ever dragged and dropped in. I can opt not to import duplicates, but is there a way to clear out or avoid this ever-growing list?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
