Unable to drag songs to playlist iTunes 11.1

Recently installed iTunes 11.1 on my pc (Windows 7). When I click and try to drag a song to a new playlist, it won't drag. I also get a red circle with a red diagonal indicating that it won't work. How do I get the songs into a playlist?

Why doesn't it work, what happens when you try?

Unable to drag songs or playlists to my ipod

I'm having trouble with not being able to drag songs or playlists to my ipod. With manual updating on. Any suggestions. Thank you very much.

hi mattie!
okay, we'd better check on this possibility:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

I am unable to drag songs from a shared music library between computers. This was working until about a month ago. I have updated to the newest versions of Itunes on both computers (a macbook and an older Toshiba satellite). I have also rebooted both.

TS2776 I can't drag songs from my iTunes Library to create a Playlist: I get a 'cancelled circle' icon over the song title as I try to drag it.

When I try to drag songs from my iTunes Library to create a playlist, nothing happens. The title appears to move but it has a 'cancelled circle' icon superimposed on it and nothing happens to the Playlist. It almost looks as if the Playlist is 'greyed out'??

I have had this as well, since updating itunes and it is a normal playlist. I have been able to add 2 but all the others I have tried come up with the cancelled circle and it is very frustrating as I used to be able to create playlists and drag whatever I wanted into them!

I just downloaded the itunes 11.0 with the completely new widow format. Mow do I drag songs and playlists onto my ipod? I see where my ipod is on the upper right side of screen but it will not accept any drops. Please help. thanks

Hello, i just downloaded the itunes 11.0 with the completely new widow format. Mow do I drag songs and playlists onto my ipod? I see where my ipod is on the upper right side of screen but it will not accept any drops. Please help. thanks

Not only this but I can't drag from Itunes and place anywhere on my desktop or onto an external drive. Apple, why are you screwing around with basic functions!? I'm a dj and I need to be able to manage my music files without you ruining my life! FIX THIS!

Im unable to drag mp4 movies into itunes and sync to my ipad2 after updating itunes to 10.5.2.11? Im using Windows7. I was able to before this update, why?

I see same question with itunes not accepting mp4 videos and no answers? Has anyone been able to sort this out or is it a software problem being attended by apple? Please reply?

I transfered music from my ipod to a new itunes library (new PC). The music plays in itunes but when I sync my ipod and try to drag songs from the itunes library to the ipod it wont load. It shows a circle with aline through it.

Have you selected manually manage music?

ITunes 10.4 can't drag songs into playlists

There is one glaring difference in the new iTunes 10.4 (80). I can't drag songs from one playlist to another. It doesn't matter whether the source is a smart playlist or a regular dumb one, or even the main music library.
smart playlist or dumb playlist or even the main music library) into other (dumb) playlist.
As a workaround, I can copy (cmd-c) and paste (cmd-v), but this is ... umm ... sub-optimal, because you have to change playlists to do it. Then when you go back to the first folder, any search you might have used before is now gone.
Is there any way to bring back drag and drop? Some weird .plist hack or anything?

Well. My first efforts to search for a solution were poorly executed, because I tried again and found lots of answers.
The problem appears to be using a Wacom driver. See the discussion here and (same thread) here and here. No idea when that will be fixed. I use a 8 or 9 year old Graphire, and drivers have been a problem for most of those. Sigh.
But this experience also made me learn that you can right click to add selections to a playlist.
I even learned how that first column works, which I never knew before.

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.

Can't drag songs in playlists

I'm not able to drag songs within most of my playlists. I can drag and drop them INTO my playlists but can't drag once they're inside the lists. Does anyone know how I can correct this?

There's also a chance that you have a certain collumn header active which causing this.
Look in your iTunes Help > playlists
for more info regarding this.

This just started happening. I want to drag songs from my library to playlists, I used to be able to drag them to my desired playlist on the left hand side but now for some reason I am not able to. I'm running OS 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.2
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

Apple does not post or respond to these user-to-user forums.
Apple very, very rarely shares what they are working on so there is no way of knowing if Apple is working on this issue. I highly doubt any Apple employees who may be working on it would risk their job by talking about it
Ed is definitely helping this thread by answering your question in a forthright and respectful manner.

Can't drag songs to playlist????

for some reason, on my wife's itunes (not mine, mine, on the same computer is fine) it will not allow her to drag songs from her library into a playlist. I've never had this problem with mine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who cleared up the question of clicking and dragging music into playlists, but does anyone know why is it that we can't click and drag songs into the "purple" smart playlist categories?

Dragging songs to playlist

I've created a new playlist in iTunes and have started draging my desired songs from my music library to the playlist successfully.
Then I decided to purchase a song from iTunes, which I discovered could not be dragged to my playlist. So I went back to dragging over my already existing songs (mostly not purchased) but now NOTHING will drop into my playlist!
Why? Very frustrating as it was all working fine 10 minutes ago! Any help would be great...

Verify you have the right boxex checked to sync
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:

Can't drag songs into playlist

I can't drag songs from my library into one of my playlists. Other playlists are fine - it is just the one that won't take songs. Is there a limit for the number of songs in a playlist?

What sort of playlist is it? If it's a smart playlist then it gets it's content from the rules that have been set for it, for example recently added. You won't be able to drag to a playlist like this just a normal one. The icon for an normal playlist that you can drag to will have a musical note on it, a smart playlist has an icon that looks like a little gear wheel.

TS1424 "Unable to Download Song" message in iTunes app on iPod Touch?

I did look to see if this question was posted anywhere else, but did not see it. So if it has already been answered, my apologies.
I am hooked up to the wireless, logged into iTunes, credit card good to go. Every time I go to download a song, it stops with "download error" and then another message pops up stating "Unable to Download song" and that it could not be downloaded at this time. I've tried downloading other songs and the same thing happens.

I've been getting this problem too, seems the album/song as noted is corrupted (I did stop it halfway into downloadign when I was in Spain and didn't have a ton of bandwidth). I just need to delete this error message.
As seen here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18244258#18244258
Swipe the failing song horizontally to get the red Delete option, then delete.
So easy once you know, no?
Once that failed "in progress" download was deleted, I asked iTunes to re-download it and it went through just fine.
