Please help me - I can't drag song to playlist to burn a CD - what's wrong?

I'm a new I-Tunes user and need a song burned onto a CD. I purchased the song but can't drag it onto a playlist in order to burn the CD. I can hear the song in the library but it won't drag over. Also the burn icon isn't highlighted. Can you help me figure out how to solve my problem?

i think i have the same problem. are the songs in the playlist "light" and is there a locked icon at the bottom?

  • Can't drag songs into playlist

    I can't drag songs from my library into one of my playlists. Other playlists are fine - it is just the one that won't take songs. Is there a limit for the number of songs in a playlist?

    What sort of playlist is it? If it's a smart playlist then it gets it's content from the rules that have been set for it, for example recently added. You won't be able to drag to a playlist like this just a normal one. The icon for an normal playlist that you can drag to will have a musical note on it, a smart playlist has an icon that looks like a little gear wheel.

  • 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 drag songs in playlists

    I'm not able to drag songs within most of my playlists. I can drag and drop them INTO my playlists but can't drag once they're inside the lists. Does anyone know how I can correct this?

    There's also a chance that you have a certain collumn header active which causing this.
    Look in your iTunes Help > playlists

  • Can't drag songs to playlist????

    for some reason, on my wife's itunes (not mine, mine, on the same computer is fine) it will not allow her to drag songs from her library into a playlist. I've never had this problem with mine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks to all who cleared up the question of clicking and dragging music into playlists, but does anyone know why is it that we can't click and drag songs into the "purple" smart playlist categories?

  • Can't Drag Songs to Playlists

    Does anyone know what how to fix this problem? My mouse works fine, but I can't drag a song anywhere. It will highlight a song, but won't move it anywhere (a playlist, to the desktop, ipod etc.). It is as if my mouse ceases to drag in Itunes. I have tried multiple mice, with the same result. What's going on here?

    Open disk utility and select your hard drive, repair permissions and verify disk on your startup volume. Then reboot your computer. If the problem persists, then create a new user account on your computer and determine if the problem occurs in this new account. If it doesn't, then your user account in corrupt and you will need to export all of our files to a new account. If the problem does continue, you might want to run a program called AppleJack(do a Google search for it). If that doesn't work, you might need to Achieve and Install you system.

  • Suddenly can't drag songs to playlist

    This just started happening. I want to drag songs from my library to playlists, I used to be able to drag them to my desired playlist on the left hand side but now for some reason I am not able to. I'm running OS 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.2
    Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

    Apple does not post or respond to these user-to-user forums.
    Apple very, very rarely shares what they are working on so there is no way of knowing if Apple is working on this issue. I highly doubt any Apple employees who may be working on it would risk their job by talking about it
    Ed is definitely helping this thread by answering your question in a forthright and respectful manner.

  • Can't drag songs into playlists or move in playlists easily

    I have upgraded to Lion and the latest iTunes and now I am finding it VERY hard to move tracks in the program. For example, dragging a track from the library into an existing playlist is **** near impossible. And when I FINALLY get it in there it is ABSOLUTELY near impossible to move it’s position up or down on the playlist. What gives? Any ideas?

    Before anyone suggests the following I have tried this already:
    •restarted itunes
    •restarted mac
    •made sure shuffle is turned off
    •made sure the playlist order is selected
    Also, it is NOT a smart playlist. I know you can’t drag tracks into smart playlists.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can't drag songs to playlist anymore on iTunes 10.4.1 / OSX 10.7.1

    having updated the OS to 10.7.1 - I can now nolonger drag and drop songs into a playlist in iTunes. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I am having this same issue since updating iTunes, though I'm running OS 10.6.8.  Through Google I see that this has been a recurring problem with past versions of iTunes for some people, but I'm not seeing a solution.  Really aggravating.  A solution would be much appreciated.
    ETA:  found this thread, which is somewhat helpful (at least I realize I can use my trackpad or mouse):

  • Can't drag songs into playlists

    I've been trying to create new playlists...and it won't let me! I click on the song, then try to drag it to the new playlist...it won't move. It used to work, what happened?!

    Are you sure it's not a "Smart" Playlist that you've created?
    Otherwise ... I'm not sure what the problem might be.
    You may consider deleting iTunes and reinstalling it. Make sure you back up your two data files.
    This would probably fix the problem.
    Good luck!

  • Lost songs from playlist / can't drag songs in playlist

    Hey
    I created a playlist of about 7 hours and seem to have lost a whole bunch of songs without deleting them and now can't move anything around in that playlist. My other playlists appear to be working fine. Any ideas?
    Thanks! Kirsty

    Can you play these songs listed in the library and not in the playlist? Are these playlist smart playlist or just regular ones?

  • How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!

    Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
    Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive.  This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
    You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

    Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
    help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
    understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
    able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
    are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
    those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
    are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
    erroneously assign a wrong variable!

    Why can't the songs be transferred to the device?  Is it because they are not authorized?  Were these 25 tracks purchased/downloaded with the same account you have used to authorize the PC/new iTunes library?
