Why can't I rearrange music in my iTunes playlists?

I cannot drag and drop music within my Playlist.  I can add music to the playlist but cannot arrange the playlist.  Please help--somebody!

Make sure that the sort icon (it is a little black triangle) is above the left column, i.e. the column of numbers.  if it is not there, click the space above the column to put it there.
If it is above any other column, the list will stay sorted by that column, and you will not be able to move songs up or down.
Also, make sure that Shuffle (the crossing arrows at the lower left) is not highlighted.

  • Why can't I download music to my iTunes???

    For years I could download music to my iTunes without buy songs from iTunes Store. But every since I update to this new iTunes 5 months ago now everything has change. Now I can't download my music to iTunes only if I buy songs off on itunes which I HATE. There are LEGAL sites were you can download music for free like Bandcamp.com, DatPiff.com, Livemixtapes.com, and etc. So how come I can't download this songs from these site when it is 100% LEGAL. If anyone can help me this problem I would really appericate it a lot. Thank You.

    Inked,
    Download the file to your computer in the normal fashio, which does not require iTunes.  Make sure the file is in a valid music format, which usually means MP3.  (If you have any doubts, see if it plays in another music player on your PC, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp.)
    Once you know it is a valid music file, drag it into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, which is found in your iTunes Media folder.

  • Why can't I find music in the iTunes store?

    First of all, I live in Russia, I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, but I can not find music at all in the iTunes store, only apps, books, podcasts and iTunes U.

  • Why can't I sort music?

    Why can't I sort music on my iPod when it's connected to PC? I can sort the music in my library by any column.

    I have the same issue since the latest update.  I can no longer sort my music by song title on my iPad.  When I click on "Songs", it is sorted by Artist.  The songs aren't even sorted alphabetically by artist in this mode.  I checked on my computer and I have my music "Library" sorted by song title, not by artist. 
    This is very frustrating when trying to locate a song title.
    Any help?

  • Why can I not order music from other countries

    Hello,
    why can I not order music from either germany or austria if the canadian itunes does not have it?
    I don't mind paying in euros or paypal, which ever.
    I think the stores should be compatable or should allow buying from another country.
    Thanks, Ingo

    The short answer is that the content owners do not allow Apple to sell content across country borders. It's not by Apple's choice.
    Regards.

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

  • Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

    Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

    This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.  Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al,  Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
    The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
    (....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
    (.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
    (...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
    The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
    So unless and until the record companies, et. al,  all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

    my computer broke down and now i bought a new  Mac,  how can i get my music back from iTunes??

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.
    FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • HT1449 Why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder?

    In reference to the linked article above, why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder and create an alias where it used to be ~/Music/iTunes instead of that tedious process?

    You can do that. You can copy the entire Music folder and create an alias for where it normally belongs. However, OS X will not allow you to delete the entire Music folder without a little extra work:
    Copy the /Home/Music/ folder to the desired new location. Create an alias to the new location and put the alias in the /Home/ folder. You will now have a "Music" and a "Music alias" in your /Home/ folder. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
    sudo rm -rf ~/Music
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted (it will not be echoed) then press RETURN again. The old Music folder should disappear. Now rename the "Music alias" folder to "Music".

  • Why can't I import songs into my iTunes?

    Accidentally deleted all of my music for iTunes and stupidily emptied the trash but whatever, that's why Time Machine is great.
    Simply put, got ALL my songs back from Time Machine and yet, iTunes seems to ignore anything I ask it to do. Can't drag and drop, can't "Add to library" (Command+O). No dialog box comes up or anything. Tried moving full folders and single song files and nothing happens whatsoever. Tried googling this, and everything is for Windows. I don't use my Mac all to often but my music is a must. I need my metal.
    Using:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    iTunes 11.0.2 (22) 64 Bit
    Any ideas? Because this is weird. I've already been complaining that you can't simply drag and drop crap into an iPhone and now THIS? What's wrong with Apple? I'm seriously debating a virus filled world or stick with constant irritants like this crap. I mean c'mon. My music is RIGHT there, why can't I just drag them into iTunes? Why? They were all there JUST a couple hours ago, so it can't be an issue of whether I'm using MP3 or whatever... Right? Ugh..

    Yes, it was all there, but as I said. iTunes acts like it isn't, and we're talking about thousands upon thousands of songs sitting in their respective folders.
    I had talked to my brother in law and he did mention something about iTunes having it's custom file that saves the information for everything it has into one, and to find that one if possible. But how can I locate it if using Time Machine to restore all of my music did nothing? I restored any iTunes related (all in one folder honestly), so what's the deal?
    Sorry for the very late reply, this is still a very concerning issue that needs to be desperately resolved, I have just been very busy.
