Why can't I move a take into another folder?

I've been beating my head against this for days. Seems like I'm missing something really simple. I have two tracks, each of which have folders with a number of takes. I just want to drag a take from one folder into another.
I get that you have to hit that little button in the top right corner of the folder to allow you to grab something. But when I grab a take, it only allows me to drag it around within that folder, and not into another folder. I've searched high and low, what am I missing here? Or is this a bug?

Try unpacking the folder (the region menu).

Why can I not place backup folders in another folder on the same hard drive.

Why can I not move the backup contents of a customer into another folder on the same hard drive without it copiying the information over imediately instead of taking hours and having to use password!!!

Because the backups are not "owned" by you, so you can't just move them.
Also, I don't imagine Time Machine will be able to find them if you just move them.
Take a look at Pondini's Time Machine FAQ #18: http://www.pondini.org/TM/18.html

Why can't I put News stand into a folder?

I want to know why I can put iBook into a folder but not Newstand? I have no intention of using it right now and don't want to look at an empty stand on my page. Any suggestions?

There is a work around for Newstand to be added to a folder like with all the other apps:
First, take two apps and create a folder. Second, as soon as the apps are in the folder, drag Newsstand into the folder too. As long as you’re quick enough, Newsstand will go into the folder!
This next step is vital as if you dont follow this step then you will crash Newsstand:
If you open Newsstand while it’s in a folder your springboard will crash. If you want to use Newsstand at some point just take it out of the folder and you’re good to go!

I have converted/copied my itunes oto mp3 format to play on my PC. unfortunatly I didi not specify a different folder fro the mp3's. I therefore have itunes side by side with my mp3's all in the same folder. How can I remove the mp3's into another folder.

I have converted my itunes on my imac to mp3 format so i could play them on my pc. unfortunatly i did not specify a seperate folder for the mp3's to be sent to once converted.
i now have itunes and mp3's side by side in the itunes media folder. this has the effect of doubling my library.
how can i get rid of the mp3's from this folder en mass, other than erasing them one by one, there are 7000!!!

Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

Drag and drop doesn't work - instead do a File -> import -> movies and select from there.

Why can't I move the "name" column??

This is a question that has been bothering me for a very long time. Why can't I move the "Name" column in the library (or playlist) view away from it's left position? It seems to be locked into place. I can move and arrange artist, album, time, bitrate, track #, etc etc etc to any configuration I so desire, but yet the name column remains eternally glued to the left side of that pane, never to be moved.
The reason I ask, is because when I organize my music, I don't immediately think of track names, I think of artists. Especially in this day of cds I am hard pressed to recall individual song names. At home my albums and cds are filed by artist name, not by song name (physically impossible, obviously). It's a natural tree-like organization... artist->album->song name. I want to configure the library view in iTunes to match this same logical hiearchy but for some reason iTunes will not let me do this one extremly simple thing... argh and double argh!! Is there any reason for this? Is there any way to solve this?

Chad hello,
Everybody here has given you good advice so I will explain why the name column can not be moved...
Your Music library is a data base and a data base has to have at least one totally unique index field for each file... now it can not be the Artist as you can have as many songs as you like by the same artist... same reason for the album, one album can have many songs but the same album name... same for genre etc.
The only thing that can be unique is the song title... If you put the exact same song by the same artist the program will assign a unique name by adding a number in front of the extension for each duplicate .... example
Song Name.mp3
Song Name_1.mp3
Song Name_2.mp3
So when you think about it the song name is the only thing that is different... one album by the same Artist may have more than one track of exactly the same length, size, genre, composer etc. moving through all fields except the name....
Now why can't you move the name column... well all the other fields do not have to be unique so you can move and/or remove these columns but if you could remove the name column you could end up with more than one entry in your library looking exactly the same.... you have to have something that allows you to separate them and that is the unique index field 'Song Name'....it could not work any other way..
hope you can follow all that.... take care... TP

Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

I have 68 GB free and the movie is a small one. The iDVD file is on my hard drive and in the dock.
Today I found a work around for this problem. While I cannot open the original movie, I can access the clips in the media folder. I put the clips together and made a new movie. And I can import this to iDVD by going to "share" in the menu and selecting iDVD.

Why can't I move a folder from contacts to the mail address line?

Why can't I move a folder from Contacts to the address line in mail?

If all of the contacts don't get moved into the address field(s), it's possible that some of the contacts in a Group contain information but not email addresses for those individuals.
Don't really know what else to suggest except, possibly, that you delete, then re-create the problem Groups.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

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't i put my emails into folders

why can't i put my emails into folders

You must have an IMAP email accounts in order to create additional folders in the mail app on the iPad. There is now way to create folders locally like you can on a computer if you are using a POP email account.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.
