Why can't I move my songs move into a playlist any more?

I have discovered recently that the songs in my music library, both old and new, will not move as they always did, by clicking and dragging into a playlist.  I get a red crossed out circle and they just won't move!  Help!

I had this problem too. However I tried by opening the playlist  and going to the "Songs" link on the right hand side of the tool bar. Click on that and you will see a "sort by" button. Click on that and choose "Manual Order". You will then be able to drag the songs up or down in the playlist.

  • Why can't I move files by dragging any more?

    Since I got Mavericks I'm having copying files by dragging them. When I drag a file from one folder to the desktop I get an alias. I have to literally copy the file paste where I want it to go, and then delete the original. This is a text file. Is there a way I can get it to just move the file from one place to another by dragging? I can Option drag a file but then I have to delete the original.

    Hi Ken Spiker!
    I have an article for you that may help you understand these aspects of Mavericks a little better:

  • Why is my HD movie refusing to download any more?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to download an HD movie from iTunes since yesterday. I left the computer running all night and the download is still stuck at 450.0 MB out of 4.44 GB.  I have  canceled the download, deleted the temporary files and started again. But once it reaches 450.0 MB it refuses to download any further. There have been no error messages.
    Any suggestions?

    since most recent software update with my macbook pro, contacts, calendar no longer syncs when I connect ipod touch with macbook pro. hate the cloud and want to stay "old fashioned". how can I?

    If you have Mavericks the only way to sync those items is via iCloud.
    If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • Why can we not have subdomains on the new tab page any more?

    With the latest update to the new tab page they removed the ability to go to have subdomains. For example I can't have abc.com/news, abc.com/sports, abc.com/weather or something similar all up there, I can only go to abc.com

    hello pinkycatcher, you can drag any items from your bookmarks or history onto the default new tab page in firefox. this works for any url including subdomains...

    why can't I move songs/playlist from my iPhone5 to my iTunes on new laptop?

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Why can I not move items within a playlist?

    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'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

  • Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
    If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
    And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

    Why can't I move folders around on my iMac hard drive?  They just pop right back in place.  I've selected Sort By None. This just started happening this morning so I must have done something!   Any help?

    This is a shot in the dark, but try this:

    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.
