Why can I no longer move items WITHIN an existing playlist?

I asked the folllowing question on January 29th - and have received no responses.  I cannot understand what has changed in iTunes that I cannot control my playlists.  I have a particular playlist that I use regularly, but for some reason, I can't drag new songs that I just added (or even existing songs) to the top of the playlist, for example.  Can someone please offer a solution?  Thank you!
From January 29, 2012 - I just logged into iTunes on my MacBook Pro and my favority playlist changed the order of the songs (and I did nothing!).  I did not click any columns to sort differently or anything along those lines.  In addition, I added some songs and moved them from Recently Added to this Playlist, but they won't move (well, I can drag them to where I want them, but they don't stay there!).  I have new songs that I want to put on my Nano (and other non-Apple device players), but I am afraid to sync.  Help!  Thanks.

To reorder a playlist it must first be sorted on the unlabeled column of numbers to the left that represents play order index.

  • Why can I only purchase movies from within my own country?

    Or moreover, Why can't I buy movies from the ITunes family in other countries?

    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of the country of your residence ( proven by the billing address on your credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

    why can I not move items within a playlist?
    I should be able to drag songs up and down - and I can in other lists - but not on a new one I just created. ??

    Brandcast, I'd suggest you post in a new topic. Although your question is the same, apparently the answer isn't. Any topic that was originally started over 2 months ago may relate to a different version of iTunes (neither you nor the original poster say which version you use) and who knows what may happen between versions.

  • Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11?

    Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11? This means I can't select transitions, titles, or even move clips within the project. Never had this problem before.

    Serious bugs in iM 11 with numerous lock-ups and crashes.  I shouldn't have upgraded -- now I'm pulling out my hair trying to complete a video project with it.
    Apple is losing their way.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Why can't I purchase movies from my Apple TV? When searching not all available movies even show up!

    I've had my apple tv for a while now, but have never actually purchased anything from the itunes store directly from the device. A friend recommended "Sleepless in Seattle" to me, and since it's not in Netflix or On Demand, I decided to buy it from itunes.
    In doing a search in the Movies section of my Apple TV and typing in "Sleepl", I got no results. Bummed, I went onto Amazon to see how much the DVD would cost. On a whim, I opened itunes on my computer and did a search for the movie. To my shock, it is available for purchase on itunes for $9.99!
    Once I found this out, I went back to my Apple TV and searched again. The movie still didn't appear to exist. I noticed then that every movie on the apple tv only gave me the option of renting, not buying. I was going to purchase from my computer, but then thought better of it because I wasn't sure it would be made available for me to watch on the apple tv.
    Is there something wrong with my system? Why can't I buy movies from the device? I can buy tv shows, so it just seems weird to me that this is limited to the movies!

    Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
    That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
    Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
    So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
    The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
    But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

  • Why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?

    I am using iTunes 11.0 and can sync a movie (Miracle on 34th Street) to my new ipod nano 7th gen but when I try a TV Show (a Planet Earth HD episode) or even a brief video clip taken with my camara I am told that such an action is not permitted on this ipod.  So why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?  Thank you.

    Before you can sync video files, it must be converted into a format compatible with ipod.  If you can’t sync a video convert it by doing the following:
    In iTunes, select the video you want to convert. Do one of the following then sync again after:
    1) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
    2) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
    I hope this works.

    Go to the Apple Menu (top left) click the Apple Menu and select "About This Mac"
    That will result in this window:
    The version number is right underneath Mac OSX.
    Then I will need to know which version of Office (Word) which you will see on the splash screen when you start it.

    Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

    This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700  pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

    Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

    Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.
