"no" symbol issues with itunes 10.5 (can't drag music into itunes)

When I first downloaded itunes 10.5 I was having issues clicking on the different topics on the left hand side
such as movies, music, etc, i'd ALWAYS get a "no symbol" (circle with a line through it), but when I right clicked it worked
I downloaded something someone said on here and everytime I boot up Itunes it ask yes or no if I wanna run itunes....
But today for some reason, it won't let me drag my music from my music file to itunes, gives me the same no symbol
I download from the same site (youtube), and my music file there is nothing wrong with the file codes as I tried adding old songs too and got the same symbol
any thoughts? really disliking 10.5 right now

I am having the exact same issue too and cannot find any solutions...any luck?

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

Can't import music into itunes from a cd

I keep getting an error that the disc is full and i should delete files to make more room. It also recommends that I empty my trash. How can I expand the size of the file so I can import more music. thanks dan

=Troubleshooting CD ripping issues=
The easiest thing to check is if it is just this CD. Try another one. If others work, then it is likely the CD.
Try an alternative ripper such as XLD or Max. Even though you may not want that as the long-term solution it will at least indicate whether the problem is with iTunes or something else.
If other CDs and rippers do not work, it could be the drive itself, or the part of the computer running the hardware. For the latter some have found a SMC reset to work.

If you think it is the drive, you can try a cleaning disc (about $10 from a computer store or media store) to get rid of dust. I haven't had much success with these, though usually I am running some older machine on which I can expect a drive to die after 5 years of use.

Can't drag files into itunes from computer folder.

Im running windows 7 64bit, with the newest version of itunes:10.2.2.14. I can't drag files from my "music folder" which is in my documents into itunes anymore. I used to be able to do this with my old computer running windows 7 32bit, and even on windows vista, but it doesn't seem to work for me now. is there a setting that i can change? or mess around with something to fix this problem?

Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to?

Can't drag videos into itunes

i have movies in mp4 format which is compatible with my ipod but i can't seem to be able to drag those files into my itunes. how can i upload my videos onto my ipod if i can't get them into my itunes?? ): can somebody help me pls?

Well, open your iPod options, choose the Videos tab, and make sure it's set to automatic update. If it already is, right click on the video(s) and choose "Convert Selection for iPod."

Can't drag songs into iTunes 8

I've been recording LPs (with Audacity) and converting them to CDs by burning the playlists in iTunes for years. I hadn't done it for a couple of months, and in the meantime iTunes was upgraded from version 7 to version 8. My procedure is this: I recorded in Audacity, split and name the tracks with the song names and export them as aiff files at 41.000kHz 16 bit. I then drag them into a playlist in iTunes from the finder and burn the CD. Now I cannot drag the songs into iTunes at all. I've tried using the command Add to Library, and that doesn't work either. I've checked that the songs are not locked, and I've looked at the Import settings in the preferences and set the encoder for AIFF. What's wrong here? Has Apple locked out users who want to do this?
thanks,
Jack

Funny how we´re doing and experiencing the same, although maybe not for the same reasons... I have been converting my old LPs to CD with Audacity on a WinXP box, soon gave up because of the flabbergasting speed of it (not audacity, the box...). Begin last month almost transformed the monitor into the flattest screen on earth; fortunately not, as I still needed it to order my first Mac, 5 minutes later.
I believe Apple wants us to drag and drop the AIFFs into the *Burn Folder* straight in the Finder now (right under Documents), which carries a convenient <Burn> button (top right) to burn everything in there on a CD. It works for me anyway, that´s how I´m doing since last week. Took me some time to find out though, grant you that!

ITunes 10.4 can't drag songs into playlists

There is one glaring difference in the new iTunes 10.4 (80). I can't drag songs from one playlist to another. It doesn't matter whether the source is a smart playlist or a regular dumb one, or even the main music library.
smart playlist or dumb playlist or even the main music library) into other (dumb) playlist.
As a workaround, I can copy (cmd-c) and paste (cmd-v), but this is ... umm ... sub-optimal, because you have to change playlists to do it. Then when you go back to the first folder, any search you might have used before is now gone.
Is there any way to bring back drag and drop? Some weird .plist hack or anything?

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 put music into itunes????

I have spent the last few days inputting my old CD's into itunes. I pressed the import CD button at lower right and then they went into the 'music' folder.
Now, when I click 'import CD' it seems to be inputting the music but when I click on the music folder afterwards I cannot find the music. At one stage I got an error message 1009 but I don't know what this is.
Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Not necessrily, you just need to find a 3rd party program to transfer content that is ripped or purchased outside of iTunes.

Can't load music into iTunes from CD

Gah!!!
How frustrating ! I'm using the latest version of ITunes, WindowsXP.
When I pop in a CD, a window comes up in ITunes asking me if I want to import the music, I select "yes", it shows them in a ITunes window, but the songs aren't imported, really.
I try to use the "Add File to Library" trick just to add a song from the CD, and that doesn't work either.
Why do they make this feature so tough? or am I just having a ITunes software issue?
Sorry for my tone, but this is torking me off a bit.
Thanks for any suggestions !
John
Windows XP Latest version of ITunes

Hi, John.
... but the songs aren't imported, really.
You may have to explain a bit more clearly just what happens when iTunes is "importing" the music.
For the time being though, can you confirm that Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is checked in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab.

Can't drag videos into itunes 11.1.0

Hi,
i just updated my ios to 7.0.3 & itunes to 11.1 yesterday and now i can't add any videos to my iphone 5 via itunes 11.1.0... what happened was i did a sync on a new computer and of course it wipes my iphone 5 clean of videos & music. so now i have to add the same videos back, but when i drag and drop videos in itunes library, itunes just won't take it. it should not be the format since the vidoes are the same mp4 videos i had on my iphone 5 before. They all played fine. Is this a bug in itunes 11 ? how does one add videos to the itunes library to do a sync. Can anyone help ? This is very frustrating as I've been doing this for the last 2 hrs. As good as Apple is, itunes is just one frustring UI to work with...

Can anyone help ? I'm sure i am not the only one w/ this problem ?

Can't Drag Music From iTunes to iPhone 5

Last night I updated iTunes to the latest version as well as updating my iPhone.
I rarely add music to my phone via iTunes as it is always an ordeal, but I had a couple of albums I wanted to add last night as I am going away tomorrow.
I am unable to drag them across. I've tried several suggestions but none of them work.
I have iTunes Match, and the albums I want to put on my phone are not on the iTunes store. Could this be the issue? I tried turning it off on both the laptop and the phone, but still no luck!
All of the songs had a small, dotted cloud next to them. I'm not sure what that means but it was there before I tried copying them to the phone.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Guybrush89,
When you have iTunes Match enabled, the relationship between your iPhone and your iTunes Library is a bit different, especially with regard to syncing. You may find the following articles helpful:

Can't drag movies into iTunes v8

or should I rather say, I can drag 'em, but the do not land there.
When dragging a .avi-movie in Vista, the thumbnail is shown, but the LIBRARY tab does not highlight, when dragging the movie over it (as it is, when dragging an MP3 there) Dropping the file subsequently does nothing. The iPod manual says iTunes supports all files supported in Quicktime, and the file in question plays fine in Quicktime...
Any idea would be appreciated.

Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.

Can't drag music from iTunes to iPod after restore and sync

I did a restore on my 80 Gb iPod classic because the 'catalog' became disorganized. The restore (from latest iTunes under Win7) and the sync/loading of songs seemed normal. The iPod works completely normally EXCEPT when connected to iTunes. Then, I can no longer drag albums to the iPod and the iPod song display is in grayed text instead of black.
My only theory is that I may have responded to a dialog box during sync which showed my very old and no longer used apple ID. iTunes uses my current ID.
If that IS the case, how do I fix it? Or, what other kinds of things could be wrong?

Probably. I ran in that mode since the thing was new, only changing after restore because sync is the default and when I uncheck sync music there is this ominous dialog box saying that 'not sync' will cause all of the content to be removed (or words to that effect).
I'll mess around a little. The worst thing that could happen is losing this tound and going back to restore!
Thanks

ITunes 7.3 - Can't import videos into itunes

I've been trying for a while to import some videos into my iTunes, trying various formats (mv4, mp4 and mov), but none will actually import. I've even tried moving one of my friends movies off a thumbdrive, but that didnt work either.
Can someone please help me? I have no idea how I can fix this, and there are some radiohead videos that I must have on my iPod.

I don't know much about Vista, but the first time I tried to import movies, I had to download a compressor. Grant it that I compressed the whole DVD, but still it worked from the finalized compressed version. Then just import, locate file, and open.
