Why can't I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop songs from one playlist to another.  The only way I can do it now is by selecting the song[s], right click on them, and then choose "Move to playlist...."  Any thoughts?

Yes! This is really annoying. I don't know why they couldn't keep the functionality from the old version. The more I use the new iTunes the less I like it.

  • Why cannot I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

    Actually I have two questions.  I just updated from Leopard to snow leopard.  Now when I import songs, it says "Do you want to import to burn playlist?"  I click "yes".  Then when it is finished copying, I go to "playlists" on the top of the screen and click on the "burn playlist" and it says there are no items.  Where did the songs go.  I would like to burn a playlist that I imported this way.  I haven't tried arranging songs in the order I want them yet, but now see that is an issue also.  I also used to see a list of my playlists on the left side of the screen and the songs within each of those playlists when I clicked on them and easily could drag and drop songs from one playlist to another.  How do I do the same functions that I used to do before I updated? Does this update make it impossible to do the same functions as before?  Where can I find a "manual" of sorts to direct me to explain this new format?  If there is no way to do these things, I will have to say that I want my old iTunes back.  Can I do so???  Actually, the only reason I updated was so that I could play pix and movies from my camera into iPhoto.  When I did so, it said I had to update other programs to get iPhoto to work.  I am trying very hard not to be very frustrated.  PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After poking around for a while figured how to do things in this new iTunes.  Not as intuitive as the old one.  Sorry I don't have time to tell what I figured out.  Maybe some other time.

  • Why can't I drag and drop songs from my PC onto my iTunes?

    Hi, I am unable to drag and drop music from my PC to iTunes.  I have always done it this way.  Anyone else having problems?

    Hi B-rock, yes I have tried adding to library but still no luck.  I am also up to date on the latest version on my iPhone and iPod.
    I ended up burning the MP3's to a CD then transporting them to my iTunes when I inserted the CD into my PC!
    This has only started happening since I updated!

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

  • Why can't I drag and drop songs onto my iPod touch?

  • I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

    I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

    I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Why can't I drag and drop photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPad?

    I have thousands of photos on my iMac and often want to copy a few dozen to my iPad to bring to my relatives. It seems that I should be able to create an album on my iMac and drag it to my iPad but I can't. Didn't Apple get where it is by making things simple like drag and drop?  Why is it like a state secret to get some photos moved over? I'd really like to know the reason. I don't want a convoluted work-around. This isn't Windows!
    Come on Apple, give us simplicity or at least a USB port to copy stuff!

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I was a bit steamed. I know how to sync photos but object to having to treat my photos on the iPad in such an unintuitive way. Maybe I'm alone ( but I doubt it ) but I have photos on my iPad and iPhone for several different purposes. I keep photos of things I want to paint, photos of friends and relatives, photos of items I saw that I may want to buy and snapped the ISBN code. Photos of book list of authors I like that I want to read so if I see one in a used book store I remember which ones I haven't read yet. I don't think this is unreasonable or even something that only I want. I don't want to delete all of this every time I want to add another photo. I know I can back it up to my iMac and restore it plus the new photo later but this is not what I expect or want from Apple. I have had Apple products since the Apple II and Macs since March 1984 and it was because Apple always seemed to try and figure what the user wanted first and foremost but this seems to have changed. I would prefer most iPhoto and iTunes app versions from ten years ago to those coming out now because they valued intuitive interface over exotic features. Apple is the product 'for the rest of us' but not anymore it seems.
    Maybe there are some good reasons why Apple is doing it, security, contracts, etc but I'd like to know. Maybe some of the users know and will give straight answers.
    Thanks, for the info though.

  • Why can't I drag and drop images from the browser into other programs?

    Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 4 (even after I upgraded again to Firefox 5) I have been unable to drag images from the browser into other programs, including MS Paint and IcoFx. I receive an error message stating that the file (the address given lists it as being located in the temporary files folder) cannot be found.
    Prior to this I had always been able to conveniently drag and drop images for easy editing without having to save first and then open them. This feature is important to me, as I work with graphics very often, and is still available in Chrome and Internet Explorer. I love Firefox though, and hope that there is something I can do to fix the problem.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"

  • I would love to be able to drag and drop items from one page to another from the plan window. Is that possible?

    In desiging my website, I would like to be able to move items from one page to another by dragging and dropping from the plan architecture screen. It might also help if the window could have a zoom in and out feature to facilitate that.

    I just tried zooming in the plan window and discovered it works.

  • How to drag and drop text from one listbox to another

    I have a listbox of options(text) and would like to drag and drop each selection into a new listbox, one at a time. Then programatically highlight the selections in the new listbox as events happen.

    Hello Zoltan,
    I do not believe that kind of option is built into the listboxes, but I was able to have similiar functionalities using property nodes. I have included an example program that I put together.
    The big difference is that instead of dragging, you double click on the item you want to transfer. To highlight items as you go down the list, all you need to do is set the value to that list number.
    Hope this helps you out!
