Songs don't show up in Library after a drag and drop

I want to put some music on my daughters networked imac.
( right now we have her music 'shared' across the network) I want her to have more control of her music so she can make playlists etc (she is getting a nano unbeknownst to her )
When I drop mp3 files into her iTunes folder they don't show in her library.
Am I going about this the wrong way??

Now I see the problem. I did not read your first post thoroughly enough.
You already wrote they show up in the iTunes folder.
iTunes doesn't recognize songs that are added this way.
The most convenient way would be to copy the files to a folder on the desktop and after you're done, to drop that folder on the Library icon or the Library in iTunes.
If 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' in Preferences>Advanced>General is checked, iTunes will copy those files to the proper place.
Afterwards you can trash the contents of the folder on the desktop.

I need help deleting songs from my new iphone. The songs don't show up in library, they're unchecked and I've synced only the checked songs, but they're still on my brand new phone. I've swiped my finger to the left, and that doesn't work.

They have the icloud symbol beside them. Does that make a difference?

Hello Jensones,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with music on your iPhone 5s. It sounds like you're seeing your iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
The items you see with the iCloud icon next to them are purchased songs that you can stream from iTunes in the Cloud and do not have a delete option because they are not actually on your device. You can hide all these songs in Settings on the iPhone:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud: Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
These steps are from the iPhone User Guide:
iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
If there are just specific songs you would like to hide, you can hide them using the iTunes Store on your computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
Once you hide the songs on your computer, I recommend quitting and relaunching the Music app on your iPhone. You can find more information about hiding purchases here:

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I still cannot see all the music; some I downloaded and some I purchased. For example, I downloaded two CDs by The Band Perry; one is on iTunes and one isn't. I purchased iTunes Match before I changed computers so I could transfer it all to my new machine without have to load CDs again. I also purchased some songs that are no longer there.
I looked at the article you referenced and have completed all the recommended steps. I have authorized this computer and updated iTunes match. Is there any way to recover the music I downloaded, as well as purchases I made? (I purchased Viva la Vida by Coldplay and it's not on my iTunes. There may be others, but I haven't noticed any others specifically.)
Very frustrated....any help is appreciated

Double click after a drag and drop

After I drag and drop a label(or other UIComponent) in a container, i want to double click the label to show me an alert. well it doesn't work.
i've tried in the dragCompleteHandler to put event.dragIntiator.addEventListener or event.currentTargetaddEventListner but it doesn't work. Also i enabled the DoubleClickEnabler and still nothing.
Any ideas because i tried to google it and nothing came out with this problem.
thanks

And it does nothing similar when you drop an item on a folder or anything else, only the trash... Geez, that is pretty darn strange. And if you slowly drag and drop it, it does the same? I wonder if resetting your PRAM might be worth a shot.
If you delete or remove the plist from where it is now I would guess that a new one would be created automatically like most preferences. But maybe you should wait for Baltwo on that one. Does force quitting the finder do anything? You might also try starting up in Safe Mode to see if that has any effect. If it does, there's probably some software conflict going on. Good luck, if you get it fixed post back. I'd really like to know what was going on.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

Itunes 11 "add to library" not working (drag and drop too)

I just updated to itunes 11 and the add to library function is not working both manually and drag and drop. I used to be able to add a video to the itunes media file, click add to library, click the file and it would pull it in to itunes. None of this works including the drag and drop feature. The preferences folder is set correctly.....please help.

It appears movies added to iTunes manually (not purchased through iTunes), are automatically put in the "Home Movie" media kind/category. I don't remember this kind in previous iTunes, but maybe it's just not one I used. I've seen where this is due to using MetaX, but I don't think so as "Home Movie" is not an option in MetaX. I cannot find any option in iTunes preferences to change this. Maybe Apple will change this in an update - I hope so. For now, I just go in and manually change this in the movie Info setting. I keep all of my movies in digital format, so this is a bit of a pain.

How do I get the student's answers to show on the next slide for drag and drop interaction?

I'm working with Captivate 7 on a computer running Windows 8.
I created a simple, one-to-one drag and drop activity using the Drag and Drop Wizard.
I want the student's answers to show on the next slide. Specifically, I want the drop source to show with the drag target that the student connected to the drag source. This way the student can review his/her answers while the program discusses the correct answers.
Is there anyway to do this?

* You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
* If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

Saving Images after doing drag and drop

Hi Frenz,
I'm doing on a program on drag and drop. Bascically, I have done 2 windows, one is the main window where the drag picture will be drop on and another one is the window with picture for me to drag.I want to know am I able to save_ the main windows with the "drag & drop" picture on it?
Your help will be very importnat to us..Thanks
cy.

Re,
If you want to capture the whole content of the window you should
create a BufferedImage of the size of the window and the default color model.
Then create the Graphics-object and call the paint method from the
root pane of the window.
// Create a BufferedImage
BufferedImage buf = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
// fetch the JRootPane
JComponent rootPane = getRootPane();
// create the graphics object
Graphics2D g2d = buf.createGraphics();
// do the paint
rootPane.paint(g2d);
g2d.dispose;to save this buffered image use the methods from javax.imageio.ImageIO.

IPod Songs Don't Show Up in iTunes After iTunes 6.0.2 "Upgrade"

After installing iLife '06, and the iTunes 6.0.2 "upgrade" that came with it, the contents of my 4th Gen. 40 Gb iPod don't show up in iTunes. The iPod mounts on the Desktop OK, and even shows up in the Source list in iTunes 6.0.2. And I can unmount the iPod by clicking on the little up arrow icon in iTunes. But iTunes reports only 919.2 Mb used and 36.33 Gb free in the iPod.
I tried copying a song from my iTunes Library to the iPod, and it showed up in iTunes. But when I unmounted, then remounted, the iPod, it no longer showed in iTunes. It was on the iPod, however.
I tried upgrading to the latest iPod software (iPod Updater 2006-01-10) but that didn't help.
I ran Software Update and it didn't find any software that needed updating.
I repaired disk permissions and Shutdown, then powered back up and restarted. Nada.
The iPod mounts fine on my G4 AlBook running iTunes 4.9, and the contents of the iPod are also visible in iTunes 4.9, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem on the iPod.
Don't know if it matters, but all of the music on my Mac and on the iPod was ripped by iTunes from CDs (that I own).
Anybody else seeing this?
Is there a fix?
TIA,
Scot

This might be a quick and dirty method.
We're trying to force iTunes to rebuild properly.
With iTunes not running. Make a copy of the library database file (iTunes Library).
Try deleting the iTunes Library file. Start iTunes. Does this then show the missing tracks? To get the original playlists back you can import from the original xml file that you saved.
If you need to get back to the start point just delete the newly created database and .xml files and go back to the originals.

Global Volume Slider (from library) to control drag and drop xml playlist

hi there,
have spent some time doing tutorial and looking online but can't seem to get a volume slider functioning.
the scenario is :
3 circles which can be dragged over a target (one for each circle)
When the circle is placed on its target it loads its respective xml playlist into 4 buttons (play, pause, forward, back)
I want to be able to create some kind of function to control the volume, either using a slider or a rotary dial, whichever is easiest!
any help greatly appreciated!

Be sure you include the SoundTransform class...
import flash.media.SoundTransform;
Create a SoundTransform object
...named 'st' (I like short names). Create this AFTER the creation of your soundChannel object...
var st:SoundTransform = channel.soundTransform;
st.volume = 1;//This sets the volume to 100%
channel.soundTransform = st;//This associates your SoundChannel object with your SoundChannel object
Then, for simple testing of this
...create some new button...
halfVol_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doHalfVolume);
function doHalfVolume(e:MouseEvent):void{
st.volume = .5;//This sets the volume to 50%
So, now you have a half-baked volume control. Nothing exciting, but this gets you acquainted with the volume part of what you want. You have created, and have access to, the st.volume property to set the volume to whatever you want, from 0 to 1.
Next, I'd suggest that you practice the creation of your own slider. Search online for tutorials on it, like I mention above (as a Flash programmer, this is something I, and you, end up doing - searching - dozens of times a week at times). In the end, the position of your knob/button/control in the slider is a %: What % is the location of the knob on the total width/height of the slider. This % is what you send to the st.volume property.
http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=create+volume+slider+as3
As an alternative to create your own slider, you can also use the Flash "Slider" component:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/controls/Slider.html
...but this, too, requires some getting-up-to-speed with using it.
Good luck. If you want some actual code examples - you'll find plenty online :-)

How to show title of link that is drag and dropped into messages (like it was in iChat)

I recently updated from Lion to Mavericks and with that came the change from iChat to Messages. My problem that I have is that back when I had iChat I could just drag and drop links (example from Reddit) into the chat window and then the link would be shown with the link title from the website instead of just the address.
Is there a setting I can change to get this back? Right now I am having to hand type all the titles/descriptions and then provide the web address.

Hi,
I was thinking through how I have sent Links for web sites in ichat in the past and if I had changed now.
I have always Copied and Pasted the URL and had not tried Dragging the URL to iChat/Messages.
I have just tried from my Snow Leopard computer to my Mavericks one and I see the full URL at the snow Leopard end and the Mavericks end (using Bonjour)
However If i Drag a link from on a Page then that title to the link is what I see.
It also works from Mavericks to the Snow Leopard computer.

Long delay after a drag and drop to trash

This seems like a new behavior and I haven't changed anything: when I drag something to the trash there seems to be a delay in it actually "Getting in there," however if I right click and then click "Move to Trash" its immediate. Is this the way it should be? I am not using secure delete.

And it does nothing similar when you drop an item on a folder or anything else, only the trash... Geez, that is pretty darn strange. And if you slowly drag and drop it, it does the same? I wonder if resetting your PRAM might be worth a shot.

Drag and drop new songs to playlist in iTunes 11

In iTunes 10 and below we were always able to add new songs to iTunes from Finder by just dragging and dropping into any playlist and it would automatically show up.
In iTunes 11, dragging and dropping new songs to a playlist from outside iTunes adds the songs but only into the "Songs" view. We have to take an extra step to select all the songs from the "Songs" list and put them onto each playlist. This is HORRIBLE and counter-productive since I have over 200 playlists and it takes much longer to add new songs.
Is there a way to have the songs STAY in the playlist without having to drag them from the "Songs" section? I love the new interface but this is just stupid. If I'm dragging songs onto the playlist I expect them to stay there, not require me to leave the playlist and find them in my library and come back to add it to the playlist. UGH.

I did activate the Sidebar, but even when I have my playlist selected via the Sidebar adding songs from Finder doesn't show up in the playlist. I have so scroll all the way up to the top and find what I just imported in the main Music section where it shows my entire library. Then from there I drag the newly imported songs to the playlist I wanted.
Sorry for the confusing description, It's probably much easier to show in person or something. But previously when I added new songs into a playlist the songs will automatically show up on the Playlist without me having to go to Music and find it in my entire library.

Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view. I cannot get it to work.
Steps:
1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
3. Mouseup on the destination folder
Results:
Nothing happens. The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow. There is no indication I can drag and drop. The photos are not moved.
The photos are stored on a NAS. Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons. From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders. I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive. Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

I created a new catalog. Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS). I've been at this for 3 hours. I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy. Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files. Really strange.

Drag and drop songs in order?

I want to organise the order of songs in a playlist but can't seem to drag and drop anymore since updating?

I can still drag and drop - from within the playlist.
