Song won't drag?

I just got a new laptop ... I used to have a desktop, and on my desktop I could drag songs onto iTunes .. However, this computer won't let me drag the songs. When I try dragging them, it shows that circle with the line through it. Is there anyway I could fix this? Or any way that I could make it so that whenever I add new content to my music folder, it will update to iTunes? thanks.

They are probably automatically reformatting themselves on your new computer, to a different format than itunes required. Go to Control Panel>Classic View (top left)>folder options>under 'view' tab make sure the "HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES" is unchecked. The create a shortcut file of one of your songs and put it on your desktop. Make sure the extension is able to played on iTunes.

My iTunes songs won't drag when using wacom tablet mouse. When is Apple going to fix this?

My iTunes songs won't drag when using wacom tablet mouse. When is Apple going to fix this? Wacom says apple was made aware of this as long ago as July 2011.

Songs won't drag or load _ PLEASE HELP...

I currently have a 80 gb video Ipod and just recently bought a 2nd gen shuffle used. I have about 7000 songs in my itunes library - most downloaded from my cd collection and about 250 or so purchased via itunes. when I try to select songs to sybc to the shuffle - it wont let me... I cant drag , I can't auto fill, i cant move over playlists - nothing.. the only thing i came across yesterday is that if I auto fill with my "purchased" play list - IT will only load THREE songs out of the hundred or so there.... these happen to be the 3 I most recently purchased which was about 10 days ago.
I have already - downloaded the most recent software, reset the ipod, enabled warnings, checked the "higher bit rate 128" box,checked the "enable disk use" box also read that a possible solution would be to change the letter designation of the drive on my computer... NOTHING works....
im running the 1.03 software on the shuffle and my itunes is 7.5.0.20
If anyone can help me id appreciate it... Ive been working on this for hours and hours... thanks....

yes i did... my mind was smoking here but i finally figured out the problem. I had gone onto itunes to see if i could burn songs and reload them to see if the suffle would load them but when i went ot select songs the librbay ( although they were all listed ) was telling me they could not be found... all of them.. then i recalled a few weeks back my maxtor hard drive - 500 gb ( where my tunes are stored) came up with a weird message and i had to reassign the drive letter... so its seems that the itunes was not recongnizing the link to the actual files... thanks for you input.... appreciate it...

SUDDENLY NOTHING IS MOVING, SONGS WON'T DRAG INTO PLAYLISTS

I'M TRYING TO CREATE NEW PLAYLISTS AND SUDDENLY NOTHING IS MOVING. INDIVIDUAL SONGS DON'T MOVE, PLAYLISTS IN THEIR ENTIRETY DON'T MOVE. TRIED CREATING A NEW PLAYLIST FOLDER AND MOVING PLAYLISTS INTO THAT BUT NOTHING GOES. HAVE CHECK SOME SETTINGS BUT I'M AT A LOSE AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES INSTALLED. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Hi Lee113,
I see that you're having a similar issue to me - I download songs through a wi-fi network (wirless internet), and try to sync them to playlists.
Now that I see you have a similar issue, the answer may be a setting in iTunes,or maybe re-downloading these through your PC to see if you can then transfer these purchases to your playlists. I'm currently not at my home PC, but if you could experiment with that, it may help.
All downloads under your iTunes account should be able to be re-donloaded for free through your home PC so give it a shot, download the songs again and try and transfer them. Let me know how you get on.

Try putting the files back where they were before you moved them, then follow the steps in this Apple document -> iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library

Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library. Both computers are authorized and both have "homesharing" turned on. Any help?

Rather than dragging and dropping, try this.
In the computer you're moving music to, select the home shared library you're moving music from, as per the following screenshot:
Select the songs you want to transfer. Now click the "Import" button down in the the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen, as per the following screenshot:

Certain songs won't transfer to iPod

Ok, this is bugging the crap outta me.
A few days ago, my iPod Classic kinda went on the fritz. For some reason, the sound became all distorted. So I tried restoring it. That didn't fix the problem. In fact, it made things worse, because after I restored it, it wouldn't update properly. Certain songs wouldn't go, and a message would pop up that said "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I assumed there was something wrong with my iPod, because there had already been something wrong with it. Which there was, and now it's like dead completely.
Anyway, that's not the extremely troubling part, because I had to get that iPod fixed anyway.
The really troubling part is that my dad gave me his old 4GB iPod Nano (3rd generation) to use because he just bought a new iPod Classic. So I try to put my music on this one, and guess what... same thing happens. I erase and restore it, and when I try to put my music on it, there's certain songs that won't go, and that message pops up. No matter how many times I try to put it on, it's just those certain songs that won't go. And I cannot find ANY connection between the songs that lets me know what the problem is. The files are connected just fine, the songs seem completely random... I can't find any common thing between them... bitrate, encoding, length... nothing. And there's nothing distinguishing most of them from the songs that transfer just fine. They're all MP3s. They all play just fine in iTunes, but won't transfer to the iPod.
I'm getting the feeling there's some kind of bug with iTunes 8, because that's the only thing I can think of that changed recently that might be causing this.
Anybody have any answers? I'm desperate.

I've been having the same problem recently- after we downloaded Itunes 8, around the same time we got the new Leopard software, most songs won't sync to my Ipod 3rd gen. And, of course, most of those songs are my favorites.
Have you gotten the answer to this??

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I have an iPhone5 16 gb and a 120 gb iPod. All my songs won't fit on the iPhone of course. How can I just get some of them on the iPhone? I want to keep all my music on the iPod. I am VERY new to all this so be gentle and thanks.

What do you mean by "won't play"?
Try deleting the song and downloading it again from the iTunes Store.

TS1489 My songs won't play on Windows 7 version of iTunes. Everything on my PC is up to date. Windows Media Player works fine. I followed the directions and nothing has changed. I have already tried to re-install iTunes but that hasn't worked either.

Itunes worked after reseting my computer to factory setting however had trouble again after syncing my iPod and iPod shuffle. Is this a coincidence or could it be the cause of the problem?

TS1389 One of my purchased songs won't play. Every time I try to play the song it says to authorize my computer. I have repeatedly tried logging in to authorize this song and it isn't working. The problem is only happening with one song.

I purchased a bunch of songs last month and one song won't play. Every time I try to play it the window pops up to authorize my computer to play that particular purchase. I tried all of the suggestions that Itunes support send me to. Nothing has worked so far. The song is on my account as a purchased item along with the other items that I purchased the same day. Does anyone have any ideas??

The very same thing has happened to me today...........? Could it be a song pending release? Seems unlikely. Please post any resolutions.

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline. You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done.
If the clip was already in the timeline when you opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip. You don't drag it back to the timeline.
You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect. But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering. One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

Imac won't drag and drop

I have a new iMac w/Mountain Lion and it won't drag and drop. I can't move folders or move files into folders. Any ideas?

Please restart the computer and re-try. Also, going forward please provide a more descriptive paragraph of exactly what steps you have taken.
With ANY new Mac you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. I'd STRONGLY recommend you use it and if you have not already bought AppleCare I'd recommend getting it.
Finally please update your profile to show which iMac you have and which version of OS X is installed. This make helping MUCH MUCH easier for the volunteers that man this forum. You can find instructions for updating your profile at
