Unable to move more than one song at a time

For some reason, iTunes has stopped allowing me to move more than one song at a time to playlists or my manually-managed iPod. I can grab as many songs as I want, but when I drag them over to the sidebar, i don't get the little green plus sign that means you can add the songs.
If I only select one song, it woks fine.

Did you by any chance uncheck the the boxes beside any or all of the songs in the library? Unchecked songs won't play in a playlist or the library unless you select them individually: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
Holding down the Control key and clicking the checkbox next to a song in the library or a playlist will toggle the marks for all the songs on or off: : iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

Unable to sync more than one song at a time

Hello,
I am unable to add more than 1 song at a time to my iPhone. Previously I was able to add some music by drag and dropping a whole playlist of about 15 songs. However, now when I drag and drop a playlist to the iPhone section in iTunes, iTunes and the phone identify that its syncing for a second or two and then it stops. The playlist shows up on the iPhone, but no songs are in it...I can only add 1 song at a time. I have tried multiple usb ports on my computer and I also tried using msconfig and disabling all 3rd party services per this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
Still the same result. Please help.
Thanks

Can't gift more than one song at a time

Does anyone know how to gift more than one song at a time (not an album, but non-contiguous songs off one or multiple albums)?
I tried adding them to my wishlist so I could add in several, but I already own several of the songs and you can't add songs you already own.
Of course, this would be resolved if they would just bring back the shopping cart, but for now, I have no idea how to accomplish what should be a very simple task.

It is, indeed, frustrating, and seems short-sighted on Apple's part. Imagine a shop owner saying, "You can buy anything you want for yourself, as many as you like, but if it's a gift, you can only buy one."
I did receive a nice response from Apple confirming that this is, in fact, impossible to accomplish:
Dear Michael,
Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. I am Animesh and I will be assisting you today.
Thank you for your interest in giving an iTunes Store or App Store gift. I understand that you would like to gift multiple songs from different albums. I understand that this is important for you.
Michael, please note that you can buy a song, an album, a video, an audiobook, a TV episode or season, a movie, or an application for anyone who has a valid email address. However, there is no such option to gift multiple songs at a time from different albums. You are required to gift them individually, also the Wishlist feature is for personal usage and not gifting.
I can realize that it must be difficult for you. I have felt the same way in the past when I've found myself in similar circumstances. I have found in situations like this that voicing your opinion is a good way to get the "ball rolling".
Please know that Apple takes the feedback from our customers very seriously. This is the reason for our feedback page - to create a forum where our users can vent, praise or share whatever feelings they have to allow us to meet your needs, and grow as a company.
I took the liberty of submitting your feedback to Apple on your behalf. I would also encourage you to share this link with all of your friends and family who wish to submit the feedback, and have them all submit the same request.
Here is the link for you.

I know sometimes it feels as though submitting feedback will not yield results, so I will also invite you to check out the following link. This is a letter from Apple's CEO addressing customers who purchased an iPhone very early on at $599, then the price went down to $399 shortly after. Mr. Jobs heard our customers and Apple responded accordingly.

I hope that you will consider sharing your thoughts on the feedback page.
Michael, we very much appreciate your concerns, and if there's anything else I can do for you, just respond to this email and let me know. Thank you for supporting the iTunes Store.
Sincerely,
Animesh

Setting Equalizer for more than one song at a time

Is there any way to set the equalizer setting for more than one song at a time. For example, if I have a classical music album with 10 songs, can I set the equalizer for "classical" for all 10 songs at once? It's a pain to have to do it for each one individually. I tried using the "shift" key, but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joe The Author

highlight all the songs you want then right click and go to get info. in the options tab at the top there is an equalizer preset option.

How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

Can I import more than one song at a time?

Hello all, this is my first post so go easy on me...lol
I just purchased my first iPOD today and seem to notice so far that I can only import one song at a time into iTunes library. I cannot select more than one song at a time by holding down the shift button. These are songs that I already have on my computer, not songs just ripped through iTunes. Also how can I get album art onto all of my songs? I've noticed that only one album so far has album art on it. The others don't. Thanks in advance.
Toshiba Tecra 8100 Windows XP Pro

Thanks Rachyl, I'll try that when I get off of work. What about the album art? How can I make sure I get it every time in the future. Can I rip my CD's using another software to make sure they are tagged right?
BTW I used to live in NC not too long ago and went to school there....GO HEELS!

I want to delete more than one song at a time from iTunes

I want to delete whole albums from itunes. Is there a way to delete more than one song at a time?

Or Command click on the songs if they are not consecutive on the list.

Want to delete more than one song at a time

I need to download the new ios 8.1.1 but don't have enough memory on my ipad. I would like to delete the songs on my ipad (school issued) without deleting songs in the cloud. I would also like to delete more than one song at a time. How can I do this?

If by "in the cloud" you mean iTunes purchased tracks, deleting them from the device will not impact that. You will be able to redownload them later. To clear all tracks from the Music app: Settings app > General > Usage > Manage Storage [under STORAGE] > Music > All songs [swipe to the left] > Delete

Adding Artwork (More Than One Song At A Time)

I'm adding artwork to the songs that iTunes couldn't find automatically. Is there a way to add the artwork to more than one song at a time? It would be way easier if I could just add the artwork to an album all at once. I tried listing the songs in "Album List" order and dragging the .jpg into the blank artwork icon, but it didn't take.
Please tell me that there's a way to do this; it's a hassle having to add artwork one song at a time!
Thanks,
-Adam

At the Artwork box at lower left, click the text above the box so it shows "Selected Item".
Select all the songs for one album then drag the artwork to the artwork window or Copy/Paste it into the Artwork box.

Deleting more than one song at a time in iTunes

Is there any way to delete more than one song at a time off of my ipod in iTunes? After I plug my ipod in, I see all of the songs on it listed in iTunes but when I want to delete 100 songs I have to right click on ech song one at a time and select "clear". Very time consuming....is there a quicker way?

In Windows, you can select multiple things by holding the Ctrl key and clicking . . . then clear them all at once. If they're all together, you can hold the shift key, click the first, then the last and the whole 'batch' will be selected and can be deleted.

Unable to play more than 1 song at a time

I have been using iTunes on my desktop for years without much trouble. I usually place it on shuffle and let it go. Suddenly, today I am unable to play anything more than 1 song at a time. It no longer will go on to the next song either in shuffle or continuous play. Using the forward or backward button does not work, either. I have to select a song one at a time.
I don't know if this thing is really screwed up or if somebody in the house changed a setting that I just can't figure out.

Play more than one song at a time

The apple tv won't play more than one song on my playlist. And why can't there be playlists under "Music" and well as "Computer"?

This has been a condition since day one. The "working" icon just keeps going and it doesn't move on to the next song. I've tried using the random play option as well to no avail.
Is this when trying to stream content from iTunes using the Computers icons and Music submenu? I assume the same happens when you try to play from the internet using the main Music icon too? Is it only on Shuffle or when playing an album?
What about movie rentals from itunes Store - will they play ok?

Connectivity isn't a problem, my home network has the latest tech and the Apple TV is within 15 feet anyway.
While that seems logical don't entirely discount it - issues like this are incredibly frustrating to pin down to which component on the network is causing the problem - your old AppleTV worked (with Windows 8?) so this makes the newer model the more likely culprit I would agree.
Whenever there are issues like this, if you have not done so:
1 - Unpower AppleTV, router and restart along with the computer.
2 - If connecting via wifi and it is feasible to test with ethernet do so to exclude wifi as the problem somewhere in the chain.
3 - If streaming from iTunes check the computer is not going to sleep - power saving with hard drives spinning down could potentially cause a 'timeout' issue for access and worth temporarily disabling to test.
4 - Temporarily disable any security software (firewall/port blocking) on the computer or check if it is detecting AppleTV repeated connections as an unknown intrusion threat.
5 - Reset AppleTV and set it up again from the Settings menu.
6 - Restore AppleTV using iTunes and a microUSB to USB connection:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
7 - Assuming under warranty, take it to an Apple store and see if you can get a replacement. It may be faulty.
As I said these issues can be very tricky to pin down and it can be a process of elimination.
I had issues last year with connection problems - I thought it was an itunes update as there were threads elsewhere about multiple connections being established. One day I restarted my router and the problem was fixed. A few years ago my AppleTV1s were hanging after extended use - it was the Netgear router overheating ( aknown fault with that particular model).
