Right-click add track to playlist doesn't do anything

About 90% of the time (iTunes 12) trying to add tracks to existing playlists via right-click doesn't do anything. No error message, but the track just doesn't get added. I think this mostly happens when adding multiple tracks at once, not sure. Clicking on the little circle and adding to playlist that way, on the other hand, seems to work for the one track but ignores all the other tracks you have selected and only adds that one track.
Is this a known bug? Does it only happen to me?
I have to resort to always selecting all the tracks I want to add, then choose 'create new playlist from selection'. This always works. Then I have to copy (drag-and-drop) the entries from that new playlist to the playlist I actually wanted the tracks in, and then delete the new unnecessary playlist. It's an unnecessary amount of work.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Right-click add to Playlist shortcut not working in iTunes 11.1

Since upgrading to itunes 11.1 I find that the right-click> Add to Playlist option is not working. I go through the steps but the selected song is never in the playlist I selected. The only workaround I found is to Edit the Playlist and then drag and drop songs to the playlist. Selecting songs from another already existing playlist? Forgot about it!
Is this a bug? Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? This is really annoying as this is how I built my playlists for years. Two days ago I spent a half hour right-click and adding to playlist only to find the list was empty after all my work. (And I really wouldn't have to be doing this if the stupid upgrade hadn't blown away all my playlists in the first place). Sigh.

did you get this fixed? I have the same problem - thanks for saving my bacon though with the edit playlist tip
Apple, please make this easier - it used to be dead simple with tunes on the right of the playlist lists and you'd drag, now, seeing playlists and songs at the same time is a pain, you have to use to edit option or the NOT WORKING right click method. Is this fixed in a later version? I have v11.05 - I am fed up of keep upgrading at 80Mb a go and 20 minutes out of my life hence, I am not up to the most recent. If it still is a problem with the latest, I'll have to wait til the next
Thanks, Matt

Thanks
Rajkumar

Hi
First enable add and delete menus. Then catch the before menu click event and write your add and delete code.
I have some problem with standard add and delete so i write custom function. I will give you some code samples.
<B1Listener(BoEventTypes.et_MENU_CLICK, True, New String() {"--your_form--"})> _
    Public Overridable Function OnBeforeMenuClick(ByVal pVal As MenuEvent) As Boolean
            Dim form As Form = B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.ActiveForm
            'GENERATED CODE
            If pVal.MenuUID = "1293" Then
                form.Freeze(True)
                DeleteMatrixRow(form) ' write your row delete logic in this function
                form.Freeze(False)
                Return False
            ElseIf pVal.MenuUID = "1292" Then
                form.Freeze(True)
                InsertMatrixRow(form) '' write your insert row logic in this function
                form.Freeze(False)
                Return False
            End If
            Return True
        End Function

Update missing on servers - right click add-on

Hello all,
I remember I once stumbled upon a blog where someone wrote a console add-on where you could right click on update in All Software Updates view and select option to show hosts that require this update. It was done in PowerShell.
In era of right click tools for SCCM 2012, I'm having hard time finding that gem. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and could share a link to the source?
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
There is a blog talking about a PowerShell script as well as a console extension that will allow you to see all machines that need an update based on the update you have selected.

Right click on track pad

I bought a new iMac 27inch with track pad. Now some of the features I enjoied with mouse are missing.
How to do right click or left click on track pad?

Hello,
Yes, you certainly can. You can assign the lower left or lower right area of the Trackpad to act as the right click and you can also check "Secondary tap" under the Two finger options. This means that whenever you tap two fingers at the same time, the system will recognize that as the right click.
It's very easy to configure what you want one, two, three, and even four finger tapping and swiping to accomplish. System Preferences is where these configurations are made.

The right-click add-on that would save pictures directly to folders

I had this add-on that when you saw a picture you wanted to save you would open right click menu and you can save the picture to the folder you choose. I don't remember the name and don't know why i lost it but want to get it back.

I don't understand what you mean. I am talking about "Save Image in Folder" add-on. It will show up in right click menu and you add the folders you want to send and save pictures to. I have found it and re-installed it but i keep getting "unknown. ext" . I am assuming that this is an issue with the new FF up dates recently installed. I had this add-on and after recent FF up-dates it disappeared . I have contacted the add-on developer concerning this issue. This is his home page >>> http://mozext.achimonline.de/
Thanks for your advice

Very odd.
Right click on email in list should open a drop down selection.
Usually a crossed line through something denotes that it is marked as deleted in an imap mail account.

See if there is a conflict with an addon.
Restart Thunderbird in safe mode.

then perform the same test; right click on email in list.
Do you get the drop down, if yes, then one of your addons is causing the conflict.
You would have to disbale each in turn to locate which one is the problem.
Maybe the addon needs updating.
Report back on results.

I have the same problem too. When i restarted with addons disablem problem dissapeared but when i switch to normal mode and disable all off the plugins and addons the problem still remains.

Right click on image "edit original" doesn't work

The option "edit original" when right-clicking on an image is not availiable. (Not even greyed out) It is greyed out in the edit menue. Indd CS3 (5.0.4)
WIn XP SP 3. I suspect that you might need Admin rights for this function, because it works perfectly when logged in as admin. Can anyone confirm my suspicion, or is there another solution?

I'm away from my computer today, so I'm working of the top of my head here...
Perhaps you've disabled that context menu command in the current workspace. Edit > Menus... and take a look.

Right click - add to iTunes library?

Is there anything out there that would allow me to just right click on a music folder, and send it to the iTunes library, without having to open iTunes?
If not, this would be a great, and (for me), welcome feature in a future version.
Thanks.

iTunes needs to be open (or get opened) in order for iTunes to access the iTunes database.

Mighty Mouse lost right click and track ball 'click' in upgrade to Lion

I upgraded my MBP to Lion at the community's recommendation and things have been going pretty well except for one major annoyance. My mighty mouse, that worked perfectly on Snow Leopard no longer is able to right click or trackball 'click'. If I try to do right click or use the trackball click all I get is a normal click. I have no idea what to do, I've tried un-pairing the mouse and resetting it up, but the mouse seems to keep its unique identifier so when I re-pair it the computer recognizes it as a mouse it has seen before. Though I'm not sure if being able to change this would matter or help. Thanks for any input!

Hey,
I just talked to German Apple telephone support. They fixed the problem for me! With fresh installs of 10.7.5 the problem is that two files are missing that are needed for the mouse. In my case I could get them from another computer I own that ran Lion and did have the files. To get to the files you need do this:
Go to
/System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin
control-click that file and choose "show contents"
now in the finder window navigate to
Contents/PlugIns/
In this folder should be two files named
AppleBluetoothHIDMouse.plist
and
AppleHIDMouse.plist
If you don't find these files, you need to get them and put them in.

Dragging tracks to playlist doesn't work

If I want to drag a track to a playlist I've created, it won't add the track. Only if I drag it to the playlist's name and then drop it in the list of tracks it gets saved. This takes a lot of extra time and since it's not the case with all my playlists it's a real turnoff since I have to check everytime whether a track did really get saved in my playlist. Solution anyone?

Hey there!
Dragging and dropping a track to a playlist should work.
Have you tried reinstalling Spotify?

I click add folder but it doesn't appear in Itunes

So I go to file add folder to library,
Choose the file
Hit OK
and it doesn't appear in iTunes...
can any one help

It will be recognised as a camera if you have photos on that were taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc i.e. it is how you can copy them to your computer - but that shouldn't stop it appearing in iTunes.
Try turning the camera notification off disconnect and re-connect your iPad and see if it then appears in iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
If that doesn't work then there is iPad/PC/iTunes troubleshooting in this page which might help http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
