Program Closes if I Drag Music from iTunes

My iDVD '08 program closes as soon as I attempt to drag music from iTunes into the DVD clip for sound/music. I have made previous DVDs in the past using this program and have never had this problem. Steps I have taken so far:
1. Restarted the computer;
2. Checked for updates to the program/computer (everything up-to-date);
3. Attempted to save the project under a different name;
4. Started an entirely new project.
None of these steps have worked so far. Any suggestions?

Hi fatbum
Welcome to apple discussions. First quit iDvd. Then drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash if you haven't already, restart your mac and then repair permissions from apple's disc utility.
com.apple.iDvd.plist
You state you have run software updater already, Good. Now I'd like you Not to turn off your mac for at least 24 hours. Set energy saver controls to never. Screen saver is ok but do not allow the hard drive to sleep. Then try iDvd again. Sometimes it takes a while for the OS to fully index so please be patient.
Please verify you have no less than 25 GB's of available hard drive space remaining on the boot volume (your main HD). Otherwise all of the above is in vain.

Dragging music from itunes to finder...

Hi all -
When I select and drag a bunch of music from itunes to finder, it often fails to copy if I select too many files. For example, I may want to copy 400 songs to finder, and it will fail unless I do it in 50 song chunks.
Very rarely it will work. Also, occasionally I will isolate a song that will not copy to finder no matter what.
An ideas? Is there another way to copy the fles from a playlist - perhaps using the shell or applescript?
Any advice apreciated!

The problem is related to the file name.
If you're trying to copy songs which have the same file name, copying fails (no message, nothing).
You won't always be able to find the duplicate names using the 'Show Duplicate' command in iTunes, because the songs can belong to different artists.
If the files names of different songs happens to be the same, copying will fail too.
The copy command is directed to the Finder, but it will not warn you about duplicate file names. It just fails.

Dragging music from Itunes to Iphone

I am having trouble dragging music from my itunes library to my iphone
does anyone have any suggestions?

Use it as designed, created playlists of the content you want on the device and sync the playlists, albums, artists, or individual songs.

Dragging music from iTunes not working

When I drag a song from iTunes to the Timeline there is no sound (waveform). The file plays ok when I click it in the Music tab >Itunes > Music folder

Does the song have DRM protection?

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

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:

HT204406 Can't drag songs from iTunes to iPhone

Can't drag music from iTunes to iPhone. I get the circle with the slash through it.

As far as I know you cannot drag & play from computer to iPods. Read the instructions in - Adding and Deleting Songs and playlists from your iPod and iPod Manuals

HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store. Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist. I tried to downloaad more than one at a time. The download stopped. Now I can not download at all.

I can no longer download music from itunes store. It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist. I tried to download more than one at a time. It stopped. Now I cant download at all. Even rebooted my machine.

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

I can no longer drag music from my computer into iTunes.

I updated iTunes to the most recent download and installed the newest update on my iPhone 4. Now I can no longer drag music from my PC into iTunes. Not even into a new playlist. None of my settings changed. Please help.

Try
- Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

And still all these alternatives brought the same result. Would anybody please be kind enough to advise me on this as im at a witts end and would just like to know if i have to take it to get serviced or is there something else that i can do or am not doing?

I've got no fix to give you, but I'm having the same problem, so you're not alone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.
