Unable to drag ANYTHING within iTunes

For a while I've had intermittent problems dragging in iTunes - when it's not working, I can't drag tracks into playlists nor drag playlists into folders in the left-hand pane.
Instead of letting me drag, iTunes assumes that I want to edit - so if I'm dragging and the mouse is over the track name, this will go into edit mode.
If I'm trying to drag multiple tracks, this will de-select everything except the track that the mouse is over, and again try to edit the relevant field.
I've searched previous topics, and for clarity this is NOT related to Smart Playlists.

I'm having the same issue too, except it's usually not a problem when I first start iTunes.. but soon enough I have to restart to drag and drop properly.
I'm going to submit a bug report as mentioned in this thread here:

  • Unable to drag songs within iTunes.

    I am trying to move a song from my computer library music to my iPod and am unable to.  I am unable to drag any song anywhere, even to a playlist.  Is there a solution?

    Make sure you have enough room for the songs on your iPod and that they aren't already synced to the iPod.
    You could also try syncing the songs to the iPod automatically, to see if they are able to sync.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring the iPod.

  • HT5312 why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put

    why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put in the first place

    1. Because if you could, someone who breaks into your account could do it as well.
    2. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    I am unable to buy anything in itunes. When I press the buy button nothing happens. I have credit card into and $15 credit on itunes. Has anybody else had this problem and if so what was the solution.

    Go to a place in France and purchase an iTunes gift card. You should be able to use that in the French iTunes store if you have a French address associated with your iTunes account.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Unable to drag and drop itunes tracks intp idvd project

    hello
    After selecting media I am unable to drag and drop most of my itunes tracks into my dvd projects ,this is true for both imported cd's and purchased music
    Only a few tracks will show with the + sign
    any thoughts
    Thanks
    Paul T

    Give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    If that doesn't work, do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
    I hope this helps.

  • Unable to remore anything from iTunes 11's Library

    The Delete entry from Edit menu is greyed out. The delete key doesn't work either.
    What's going on here?

    I never could fix this so I killed it.
    Deleted iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml then use the find music button.
    Back to normality. Weird stuff.

  • I was charged for the same app twice, but I only had enough money to purchase it once. I used a prepaid Mastercard, and cannot remove it from my account. I am also unable to download anything from iTunes. How do I fix this?

    The "none" option is nowhere to be found, and I can't remove my card. I don't really want to create a new account.

    You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some  computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
    Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?).  As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing.  Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
    That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail.  I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem.  You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
    The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
    All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox.  Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course.  The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself.  I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions.  This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line.   You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
    Many thanks for your perseverance.  You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

  • Can't drag ringtone to itunes

    Using Windows 7 and iTunes 10.7.0.21 I was unable to drag ringtones into iTunes. Whenever I dragged an m4r (ringtone extension) onto iTunes all I got was a slashed circle. After much fiddling and researching I found a way to get the ringtones into iTunes and into my iPhone.
    Open Windows Explorer and search for "Automatically Add to iTunes" place the quotes in the search box so that Explore finds items with match all those exact letters. If you don't use the quotes Explorer finds items that have any of those words in them, it ORs the words. (I found two folders of this name on my machine so I had to try the following twice. On my machine the one that worked was C:\Users\My Name\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes)
    Copy your m4r files into that folder.
    Start iTunes
    Look in your Library/Tones folder and the files will be there
    From the menu bar select Edit/Preferences and make sure Tones is checked
    Select your device (iPhone)
    From your device's menu bar select Tones and make sure Sync Tones is checked and either All tones or check your Selected tones
    On the bottom right, press the Sync button (you may have to scroll down.)
    On your device, go to Settings/Sounds/Ringtone and they should be there.
    I hope this helps.

    Right so i done exactly this and for some reason the "automatically add to itunes" folder created a "not added" folder, and then it further created another folder inside it named the time date i copy and pasted the ringtones in it with them then actually inside that one, so in short, they were decided by apple that they are not being added?
    ways around this?!?!?! getting very annoyed at how easy this used to be not long ago!

  • Can't Transfer ANYTHING from ITunes to IPod

    just in the last week or so i've been unable to transfer anything from itunes to my ipod. this includes podcasts and purchased music. i have no idea what the problem is. the other night i left the two to sync for at least 10 hours and when i checked it the next morning it was barely halfway through the first import. i also try to eject my ipod and my comp freezes and im forced to turn off my comp and restart my frozen ipod. (it stays in the 'do not disconnect' stage) i am running itunes 6, but this problem just started recently. i havent been able to update my ipod or load any new podcasts in forever, please help!!

    Okay, now I'm really unhappy. Since my last post a few days ago, I bit the bullet (really, I just needed the excuse) and bought a brand new 60 GB 5G video ipod. Connects via USB (annoying, but at least we are on completely different set of ports from the firewire), and guess what? THE EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR! All 8+ GB of my purchased music (and videos) does not transfer. The same error message about the iPod software being too old. This is truly ridiculous.
    My machine checks out okay with Diskwarrior, I've run Applejack repeatedly to fix permissions, clear the caches, check preference files, etc., cleared the pram, and have reset the machine via open firmware. I'm exasperated to say the least. I've even de- and re-authorized the computer for the music store.
    Now to add some complexity to this mess, my subscribed podcasts DO transfer over. Is this a DRM issue? Something about iTunes is wonky here. I'll keep poking around, but I'm having a very hard time with this being acknowledged as a problem. For many people, including me, this has been going on for several months.

  • Cannot Drag anything, copy + paste not working

    My shiny new macbook was working great until this morning, when things went rather awry.
    I have no idea why, but I cannot copy and paste any text (either using apple-c or the edit menu) and I am unable to drag anything such as files or safari interface components. (I somehow managed to get rid of the address bar and I cannot drag it back)
    Does anyone have any idea why it would be doing this?
    I've just noticed that copy and paste works in TextMate, but not in camino or safari

    I have this issue as well  and have put a thread here with Apple Support Communities
    I can copy/paste on the iMac's Hard Hrive to any folder with no restictions. If I try to copy/paste to an outside source i.e. USB – DVDRW – external HDD or NAS, it does not give the PASTE option in the drop down menu.  If I drag and drop a file, I get a circle with the line through it when placed in the folder and does not copy/paste.  I think that’s an error or stop signal.
    In Mavericks I can copy/paste to a mapped drive on my NAS, only if I first right click on NAS Drive icon and go to ‘Get-Info’ and in the General area’s Tick the ‘Unlock’ box. As soon as I have finished pasting, the lock box ticks again by it's self.
    If I right click on the USB and go to ‘Get-Info’, in the General area I only get a Share Folder Tick box and not an Unlock Tick box.  Share does not allow paste to activate in the drop-down menu
    How do we permanently Unlock Mavericks’ paste, Apple?
    Thank you
