    Hey, I made the Switch and so far love this machine.
    However, I am kinda concerned.
    On Windows iTunes I could click and drag songs around.
    Into new playlists. Within Playlists.
    But, on this mac I can't.
    I can click and drag folders, and icons outside of itunes.
    But it wont let me click and drag in itunes.

    Any help would be awesome.

    It should...it works fine for me. Select the track, and then just click and hold and drag it to a playlist or onto the Desktop or whatever.

    Usualy it should. You can always drop youre music in the itunes->music folder and then you consolidate youre library.

    Hope this helps

    Funny you say that. I had a similar issue, although not with iTunes, but ejecting disks. I could not eject an image from the desktop today. After a restart I was ok. I think Finder with OS X might be a little flakey. That could also explain my networking problems I believe.

    ^^^^There is always a reason for something acting strange, or not working correctly.

    it is pretty difficult for you to backup what you are saying with the Millions of people that aren't having those problems to disagree.

    you can't necessarily say it is user error, but most problems usually come about due to something the user has done, whether they know it or not, and it is usually very very logical.

    I guarantee you will be much more efficient with computers if you assume it is your own fault when you have a problem. as weird as that may sound.

    circa I agree to an extent. However, I did a clean install for Leopard, so there really should not be any issues unless the install was bad. Also, I can't see how an image not ejecting could be user error. Plus, with the networking, after I changed the workgroup it worked once. Then for hours did not work although both computers were on and I had not changed a single setting. Then, inexplicably last night and this morning it seems to work.
