There is absolutely NO way to drag and drop newly purchased music from the Purchased list on the phone into my iTunes library? I'm finding it hard to believe that something so simple cannot be done!

I like to make MP3 CD's when I have people over, or when my friends have people over so I can just pop them into the CD player and let them play all night without having to worry about changing the CD or anything. Well, Apple's music is in AAC format, so I have to convert the songs to MP3 files using the converter in iTunes. So I'll convert them to MP3's and just delete the AAC file so I don't have doubles. The problem is, the next time I plug the phone into my laptop to transfer new purchases, iTunes thinks that the songs I converted aren't there anymore because the phone has them as AAC files, and iTunes has them as MP3 files, so it doubles the music again...EVERY time!! It's very frustrating! So this is why instead of clicking Transfer Purchases, I would like to be able to just drag and drop the songs I want from the Purchased list on the phone into my iTunes library. I hope I explained this right...lol. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I'm able to do that. I'm hoping maybe somebody here can help me out and give me some pointers on what to do about this. Thanks!!

That stinks! I can actually do that at my house...I just plug my iPhone right into the wire that's plugged into my receiver in my living room...but some of my friends aren't "technology savvy"...lol...so they just have DVD players and I'll put the CD in there because it will read an MP3 disc. What's funny, is I have the phone set to "Manually Manage Music", and when I plugged it into the laptop just now, the one song I downloaded last night on the phone, transferred over to the iTunesl library. That NEVER happens. And it only transferred the one song...it didn't double the other songs like it ususally does. I swear, iTunes does what it wants, when it wants sometimes...lol. Thank you for your quick response.

Unable to drag and drop videos or music from PC folder to ITunes. Any ideas why?

Why can I not drag and drop videos or music from PC folder to ITunes?

I can only guess since you provide no details, but my guess is that these are either not industry-standard MPEG-4 videos but rather one of the offshoots that use the same file extension, or they're a resolution, frame rate or aspect ratio that iTunes can't accept. Can the videos and tracks be played in QuickTime Player? If so, open the Movie Inspector, find the Format information, and post that here along with your versions of Windows and iTunes. That might help people figure out what might be going wrong.
Regards.

With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What should I be doing differently?

With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What else should I be doing?

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
the change to that one album
play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.

Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

Is there anyway to do a drag and drop to copy music?

In version 11 is there any way to drag and drop music bewtween 2 itunes and I am not talking homesharing. I want 1 central library but reciently I added some music to my laptop and want to sync it back to the main library. I used to be able to do a remote desktop connection and just drag and drop from the laptop to my home pc over remote desktop. It would really really really suck if I have to copy them 1 at a time with the File/Add File to Library option when version 10 worked just fine.

hey Eugene,
Could you elaborate it?
On 1st screen of RSD1, there are quite a few radio selections:
1. InfoObject (single)
Or Several InfoObjects
1. All InfoObjects
2. Free Selection of InfoObjects
3. All InfoObjects of a Data Target
4. InfoObjects not Used in Data Targets
5. All InfoObjects of an InfoObject Catelog
Which one I need to pick? I picked "All InfoObjects", then click Maintain button to get to the next screen, it lists all InfoObjects, can't find any button or menu to pick only unactivated InfoObjects to activate.
Thanks

Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

I just posted this fix to another thread and thought it might be useful to post to all of the threads I read trying to fix the problem. Here it is:
Having the same issue over here with Mavericks 10.9.1 on a new Macbook Pro/Retina. Just now found a workaround/fix/whatever:
- click on your group in the group pane of the address panel
- click anywhere in the name pane and select all (command + a)
- click the "To:" or "Cc:" or "Bcc:" tab right above the group pane at the top of the address panel window.
The names of all of the individuals in the group will appear as an expanded list in whatever field you clicked. It takes a second or two to happen.

Cannot drag and drop a layer(s) from 1 PS file to another.

Hello,
I have just installed PS CS5.1 and used 64bit version (Yes, I have restarted my PC).
I have found 2 problems straight away: when you are trying to drag and drop images from layers panel to another PS file (see image above), it won't do it like it was in CS5: the current solution is to choose them in layers panel, but start dragging them from the image window.
Another problem is with the clipboard: I cannot paste to in PS5.1 more than 1 image captured with PrintScreen: as long as I click PrintScreen only the first 1, although if I open PS5 the image captured by Prinscreen changes with out problems to the latest one. After restart I could not even paste a single picture, while pastes in other applications are working fine.
As these are 2 big issues for my current state of work, I am rolling back to PS5, until the fixes will be made.
Regards,
Pavel

Hi Rahul,
It seams that not many people were using 64bit PS, since there were not many plugins available, but now there are more and more of them, and probably this bug would not be the only issue.
UPDATE: Sorry, I was wrong on the drag and drop layers from layers panel to another PS file: it probably was always unavailable, but could be a good idea for future interface solutions.
Hopefully our favourite software manufacturer Adobe will respond to our message with a hot fix

Pavel

Is there any view where I can drag-and-drop an image to another app?

I'm new to LR3.4.   I'm building books using Luminix PhotoFusion and used to be able to drag-and-drop images directly from PSE5 into Luminix.   With PSE8, that capability was lost and I had to bring up the file properties, go to the containing folder, and drag-and-drop from there.   This greatly slows down the process.   I don't want to export the images because then I have multiple copies to maintain.
Does anyone have suggestions for a workflow for this?   I haven't looked into publishing yet but that also seems to replicate like to Flickr.
Thanks

I've tried drag-and-drop from the grid, filmstrip, etc.   I get the universal circle with a slash.... no go. I've tried dragging to WORD, PowerPoint, IrfanView, PhotoFusion, and all have the same result.
I'm running Win7 64-bit.

Is there Java tool to easily add drag-and-drop flowchart building?

Is there Java tool to easily add a drag-and-drop flowchart building to a Java app?

A drag and drop flowchart IS a tool, as in a complete program. Perhaps you can find an open source flowchart tool written in Java somewhere from which you can 'borrow' some internals, but I'd not get your hopes up. You are probably in for some programming to get something that matches your specific needs.
Another option is to turn it around - is it perhaps possible to build your own application on top of an existing platform, like Eclipse or Netbeans platform? Both of those have at least the frameworks/tools to make it easy to create a flowchart module, but you have a good chance that one exists already.

I used to drag and drop newly loaded CD's from Recently Added to one of my iPod Classic playlists. I have no idea how to do this with the new version of iTunes. I thought perhaps checking Sync might give me a clue but it warned me Syncing would wipe conte

I used to drag and drop music loaded from CD's from the Recently Added folder to a Playlist on my iPods Classic. Can't see how to do this with new iTunes version. Probably need to sync somehow but when I checked on Sync it warned me it would wipe out my iPod contents. Don 't know why Apple makes something that used to be simple so difficult. Can't even figure out how to display both my library and iPod contents on same screen.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for your time.

I am organizing my external HD and want to move files NOT COPY them. How do I drag and drop folder contents without Mac automatically copying them to the "drop" location?

I am sorting out all the clutter and duplicate files on my external HD. In doing this I am moving the entire contents of folders to new locations. Some of these folders cointain gigs of info. I do not want to have to spend large amounts of time waiting for hundreds of gigs to copy somewhere then moving the originals to the trash and wait even longer deleting all of them. All I want to do is move the files up a subfolder, but the way Finder goes aobut doing it can be a 400 GB swing taking hours. How do I just "move" them?

Check out this discussion. Worked for me.

When I do a drag and drop in Finder to move a folder into another folder it makes a copy of the folder in the new location instead of moving it like the help documentation says and like it used to do in Snow Leopard.

This solved my question by jsd2 on Oct 9, 2011 6:33 AM
I did a global change of permissions for the entire documents account in the currrent user account using the get info and apply to enclosed items.
I think what is happening is that the Documents folder normally carries an "everyone deny delete" ACL, meant to protect it from accidental deletion:
$ ls -lde ~/Documents
drwx------+ 6 t1 staff 204 Oct 9 08:51 /Users/t1/Documents
0: group:everyone deny delete
ACLs are special types of permissions that do not show up in GetInfo, but can get propagated if you click "Apply to Enclosed Items" on a folder that carries them. Affected files that acquire that ACL would require password authentication to move or delete them.
I think the following Terminal command (copy and paste it) should remove such ACLs from items within the Documents folder:
chmod -RN ~/Documents/*

Read the Help pages starting here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-78d3a .html.
There's also a tutorial here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html.
Basically, you create a recordset, and then drag the results from the Bindings panel.

Drag and drop link to desktop from Chromium

Hi, maybe my google fu skills are lacking and this belongs in the newbie corner -- but why can't I grab a link in chromium (in the address bar) and drag it to the desktop? I'm so used to doing it as a temporary bookmark in windows and macs that it always catches me off guard when it doesn't work. Google reports a workaround for nautilus where you drag it to the bookmark bar first then to the desktop. This doesn't seem to work with lxde/openbox.
Arch 3.6.10-1 x86_64 with openbox WM
Thanks and forgive me if this has been previously covered.

Lxde requires some custom configuration - there's no drag and drop solution at this stage.
To make a desktop link to a webpage, you need to create a file foo.desktop on the desktop (surprise surprise), open it with a text editor, and set some parameters in the following fashion
NAME=FOO
EXEC=chromium www.foo.com
ICON=chromium
This will set up a shortcut called foo with the chromium icon which links to www.foo.com
Good luck
