Can't Add Videos to Library

Greetings:
I've followed the instructions and I can no longer get video into my iTunes Library.
I reformatted them into mp4, tried navigating to them from Add to Library in the File menu, tried dragging and dropping, but nothing happens. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and iPod software. I even trashed iTunes and reinstalled it, but nothing happens.
I had put on a couple of videos when I first got my 5th gen., so I moved them onto my Mac and tried to add them to the iTunes Library and that didn't work either, so I didn't think it's a format problem. I do get the error message that the new videos were't moved because they won't play on my iPod, even though they're in the same format as the ones that do play (MPEG-4). The old files that do play are MPEG-4s but have the suffix m4v. I tried changing the new file suffixes but it didn't help.
Audio files go in fine.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks...

I have the exact same problem. I have several episodes of a series in .avi format. I used Prism to convert them to .mp4 format (I've done this hundreds of times). For some reason iTunes only lets some of the videos into the library. The others just dont show up. iTunes doesnt say i CAN'T add them (i.e. when i try to drag and drop i get a little plus sign and not the restricted symbol), but none the less it won't actually add them. All the files were converted one after the other using the same conversion software, all in the same session.

Can't add video to new itunes

Hi, hope someone here can help me because im getting kind of fustrating by not been able to add videos on the new itues. I've got the new video i want to add to the library its on "MP4" format, but for some reason when i go to to the "Add File to Library" and look for my file i want to add, the video does not appear on my library, just wondering anyone had this problem before and can tell me how to fix it, or if theres a way to get your videos to the library on the new itunes!..please help!

Reason one: if you have not installed quicktime, the new iTunes will refuse to import video
Solution: install QuickTime player as well as reinstall iTunes.
Reason two: the video format or codec, or specifacation does not meet the iTunes 11 demand
Solution: convert video like mp4, m4v, mov, avi, wmv, mkv, flv to iTunes supported one, detailed guide atSolution on Can't Add Videos to iTunes 11
Move video from Home videos to Movies in itunes
Go to the particular movie in "Home Videos" section, on the movie, right click the mouse (for Windows users) or press Ctrl and click the mouse (for Mac users) to open the context menu, in the context menu, click on "Get info", the "Get info" window will pop up, switch to "Options" section, click the "Media Kind" drop down list to select Movie, finally click "OK" button, your movie will automatically moved to "Movies" section.

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

There are settings that you can set when the ipod is connected to itunes that you can set on how the tv shows and movies load onto the ipod.
1. Open itunes and connect the ipod to the computer.
2. Find one of the tv shows that are not moving over to the ipod and double click on it to play it. If the computer is not authorized to play the content, a window will open for you to put in your account name and password to authorize the computer.
if your ipod is set to automatically sync with itunes, follow these steps
3. once the video or movie plays on the computer. Click on the ipod on the left hand side of itunes so that you see a summary page on the right side of itunes.
4. at the top of the summary page, you will see a row of tabbs, click ont he tv shows tab.
5. then select how you want the tv shows to load onto the ipod.
If your ipod is set to manually manage
3. drag and drop the tv shows or movies onto the ipod on the left side bar of itunes.

How can I add videos to Nano?

I was just wondering. Can I add a simple MP4 video to the iTunes library and sync it to iPod Nano? If not, what is the best video converter I can use and how to add it in iTunes library? Thanks in advance.

If the iPod nano is a third through fifth generation model, yes. Otherwise, no. Adding it to the iTunes library is a separate process which doesn't involve the iPod; if a converter is needed, use MPEG Streamclip.

Add Video without Library Replacement??

I don't think this is possible, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I have a large music and video collection on a G5 desktop that I use as my main iTunes collection. I sync my 5G iPod with that desktop. I also have a PowerBook G4 that I use for travel, that I keep a much smaller collection of tunes on just for syncing with a mini when I travel.
Here's my question. I'm on the road and would like to download last night's episode of "Lost" to watch on my 5g. Is there anyway to add the episode to the iPod without having to replace my entire library that is already on the iPod from my desktop?
Thanks

You can dissolve to a clip that's not on the primary storyline. You can also connect the clip and then overwrite it into the primary.
the add Video only feature is broken
How are you doing this? Insert will not wipe out what's in the timeline. Are you doing an overwrite from the browser? Don't. It overwrites, video and audio. The video and audio are a single track on the primary unless you detached the audio.

TRYING to add videos to library, ARGGHH

I cannot seem to add DVD's ( that's a movie, right?) to my iPod classic.
I went through help;
Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
Nothing works, it doesn't grab it. And if I can't add it to the Library I can't go to:
Advanced; Create ipod or iphone version.
So ok, what type is the DVD? right click DVD it says UDF.
I downloaded Freestudio Video to ipod converter 4.2.13, it doesn't take it when I try to Add Files.....
I had made a copy to the desktop, one file, with two subfiles: Audio TS and VideoTS but it won't grab them to add.....
Any comments, this is driving me crazy!

iPods cannot play DVD files. See here for the video formats supported by iPod classic

Can not add files to library

I upgraded to IT7 and after i installed the latest version of Quicktime for a second time it finally worked. But now i can´t add new songs to my library. I use EAC to convert WAV to MP3 and I store them on my external harddrive. Does anyone encounter the same problems or has anyone a solution to this problem?? Thanx

Initially, I got an error message saying that the those componants (that import and burn cds) could not be installed due to a third party software. So I just clicked on iTunes set up and selected repair. The problem was fixed right away. Granted, my error messge told me to re-install iTunes. So try just running a repair from the set up instead of re-installation. Otherwise you might just end up re-installing the same problem.

Can not add videos to my ipad 2

I have a the app called Telestrator, I'm trying to add sports videos to teach with, I can not add them to my ipad via iPhoto or iTunes, I have tried several videos conversions but keep getting the "the video is not playable on this iPad"

Hello solidroq,
This can be worked around by creating a version of the video that is compatible with your iPod.
Select a video and choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.

With ios 7 how can I add videos from a shared photostream to my camera roll?

When I am viewing a shared photostream that I subscribe to I am able to select photos and add them to my camera roll (essentially saving someone's shared photos to my device). Now that you can add videos to shared photostreams with ios 7 I was hoping to be able to do the same with videos. However, when I view a shared vieo and attempt to save it to my camera roll it is not an option. Any ideas on how to do this?

iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Streams
To save photos/video from the photo stream to your camera roll, select it, click the share button, and select "save to camera roll". It will remain in the photo stream as well, until you delete it.
