Why can I no longer drag playlists made in my itunes to my iphone?

I used to be able to plug my phone in then just drag my playlists into the phone. I've always kept the phone settings on manual so I can manage the music myself. Now, since I've updated to the newer version of iTunes, I can't drag the playlists over, or the individual songs within it. It's driving me insane

ITunes 11 hides the sidebar by default which was where you drag and drop content onto your iPod or iPhone.

To get it back again:

Press CTRL + B to get the top bar back where it says FILE VIEW EDIT etc…

Click on View and click "SHOW SIDEBAR".

Now your iTunes 11 will behave like earlier versions of the program.

  • Why won't iTunes let me drag individual songs onto my iPhone? I have the new itunes (11) and it won't let drag individual songs onto my iPhone. I tried looking it up on the internet, and one person said "make sure that your iPhone is setup to sync your songs manually instead of syncing only the checked songs/videos." What does that mean? I don't want all of my library on my iphone… Please Help!
  • Why can't I drag my downloaded music to my itunes? Sometimes I download music from mp3 skull and save it to my computer and then drag into my itunes for my iPhone whatever and it always works. But I just saved a song and when I just tried to drag it into my itunes there was a little red circle symbol with the line through it saying no, is there anyway I can fix this? I tried re-connecting it and doing it without the phone plugged to my computer but still nothing… Help please!
  • Why can't I click and drag music onto my iphone anymore? I just updated some software, and now my iTunes library is just songs I purchased through iTunes. After adding songs I legally downloaded else where and opened with iTunes, I can no longer just drag and drop the songs onto the "iPhone" tab. Why? Any solutions would be great. Leaving for a 20 hour road trip by myself and can't let iTunes erase my music first…
