Why cant i drag and drop music

i have been trying to add music to my library by drag and drop system, but it does not work. only way i can add any more music is by doing a full system search. can anyone help plz

Also, I cant just look up what my ipod has on it all ready to delete some videos or music. It wants to sync up with my hard drive then it deletes everything.
Sorry but I am way confused on this. I was really used to my basic MP3 player where I have folders on my drive that I just drag and drop/delete as easy as that.

  • Why Cant I Drag And Drop Music And Movies to My iPOD?

    Why does Apple make this so hard? I dont want to sync, everytime I do I lose everything and I dont like keeping a separate folder with my tunes I like to listen to all the time and then I dont have the time to go through 50 gig of music to uncheck or check what I want on my ipod.... Why cant I just drag and drop to my Ipod? Why do I need itunes is there another way to get music and videos on my ipod other than itunes?

  • Why cant I drag and drop into playlists

    I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7

    Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

    why cant I drag and drop into playlists 
                                    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
                                    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
                                    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
                                    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • Why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

    why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

    To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
    The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac.  Need to reformat it using disk utility.

  • Why cant I drag and drop my pictures into an order I want to display them

    Why can't I drag and drop my pictures into an order that I want to display them ? The 'manual sort' option does not seem to be 'lit' nor does the 'reset manual sort' what am I doing wrong please.
    ps
    Beginning to wish I had stuck with a PC !

    If you prefer a PC use it. No one here cares one bit
    As to iPhoto, unless you take a few minutes to actually learn how to use it then you will never be happy. Same with any new PC program that you do not understand. Or a new car for that matter
    A great place to start your education is here. http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/
    As to your specific issue, trivial. Make an album of the photos and manually drag them to the order you want. Events simply do not work that way
    Try to drive your car in Park and you get nowhere because that is not how it works. Any time you use a product incorrectly you will have poor results

  • Why cant i drag and drop on my macbook pro

    all of a sudden i cannot drag and drop files...does anyone know how i can fix this issue? thanks in advance

    Well, usually when my mac starts to have strange problems, I usually reset NVRAM (About NVRAM and PRAM) and SMC (Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)). I'm not a specialist but it always work. And a pic helps me better (http://www.chikaboo-designs.com/mac-fan/).

    I hope it works

  • Why cant I drag and drop photos onto my iPhone in iPhoto?

    I just want to put some photos on my iPhone!

    The iPhone does not support disk mode.
    If you use iPhoto on your Mac for photo storage and management, you can create an iPhoto album or albums for selected photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select sync photos from iPhoto. Choose selected albums and select the iPhoto albums in the window below followed by a sync. The named iPhoto albums will be transferred to your iPhone with the order of the photos in the iPhoto albums retained.
    If you want to remove an album of photos, deselect the album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. To remove select photos, remove the photos from the iPhoto album in iPhoto that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
    To add additional photos to your iPhone, add the photos to an iPhoto album in iPhoto that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync, or create a new iPhoto album for the photos, select the new album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
    Photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync process.

  • 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.

  • I cant "drag and drop" music onto my ipod anymore can i get help please???

    Hi,
    Since i have my ipod i have always dragged and dropped music from my itunes library onto my ipod but now every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want, but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod (such as the one that appears when on hold).
    Any help would be great, thank you

    "every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want"
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    "but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod

    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?

    Does any other media like apps or photos sync to the iPod now?
