Q: Can no longer drag an item from my Itunes Library to my Ipod
I have a new computer with Windows 10. I downloaded the latest ITunes. I added an item to its Library. I connected my Ipod and attempted to drag the new item in the Library to my Ipod shown in the sidebar on the Left Hand Side; but no blue border appeared in that Left Hand Sidebar and I couldn't drop the new item into the Ipod. How can I fix this?
iPod nano, Windows 10

Howdy lcallinan,
If no blue border appears when dragging an item to your iPhone in iTunes, you may need to enable the option to manually manage music and videos for the device.
If you can't manually add or remove content from your device
Check to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is turned on:
- Connect your device to your computer.
- Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
- Locate and click on your device.
- In the left sidebar, click Summary.
- Scroll down to the Options section.
- Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos."
- Click Apply.
You might see a message that your device is synced with another library. This means that you've used a different computer to sync your device in the past, and iTunes can't sync without first erasing and replacing all iTunes content on your device.
All my best.
