How can I put my mp3 files into my iTunes library? Every time I download a song from a website and try to drag it to my library, it won't add on. How can I fix this?

Back then when I had the older update with iTunes i never had this problem with trying to put my mp3 files of music into my iTunes library. Now it doesn't want to be put into the library. Once I try to drag the music file to the iTunes library nothing happens, it just keeps showing a cancellation sign with my mouse. So how can I fix this?

Hi William.
The problem is probably that the index is corrupt and you need to completely re-create it rather than rebuilding individual mailboxes. I have no idea what the situation really is now after having tinkered with the contents of ~/Library/Mail/, though, so the following procedure may or may not work.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

    If it is a HD movie, it may not be enough. The iPad also need working space.
    Try download to iTune (computer) and "Move" to iPad.

    On the device that you don't want the apps to be downloaded on, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Once you turn that off, your problem will be fixed.

    i have downloaded some songs from the internet and saved it on my desktop. but i do not know how to import the songs from that folder to itunes.

    Just drag the song(s) to iTunes, if they are one of these formats (wav, m4a, mp3, mp4, wma etc) and they will appear under Music library.
    If you have lots of music files, put them in a folder and go iTunes menu FILE, Add folder to library..... to add this folder at one go.

    Okay, so, fast forward from July to now -
    - I've visited my closest Apple store's genius bar twice now. (Over an hour and a half away.)
    - My computer spent at least 8 hours behind their closed doors in the workshop
    - Several complete erases of the harddrive have taken place
    - Most of the Apple geniuses I dealt with were nice and very knowledgeable, but they were and still aren't 100% sure exactly what is wrong with my computer.
    The good news is:
    - They were able to at least get it running again, with a clean install from their servers of OS X Lion 10.7.5
    - They believe that my problems stem from either 1 of 2 things:
            - Faulty Hard Drive (even though it is brand new)
             - The wrong build of software being installed.
    Now, while the wrong build does seem like it could be the problem, it doesn't make sense in the aspect that all of the initial problems began when the first hard drive failed. The same problems continued when I changed out the failed hard drive with the brand spanking new one, and only slightly improved when I was able to successfully install the OS that came with the original disks for my computer. I'm not convinced this thing is back to normal, but hopefully I can make it last through getting a shiny new retina Macbook Pro in the coming future. Thank you so much to everyone who read and replied to this post!

    I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic.  I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store.  I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

    You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    To copy other music to the computer see:

    BTW this is the iPod touch forum

  • How do I join multiple mp3 files into one mp3 file?

    Hello,
    I have multiple mp3 files that I would like to join into one mp3 file and to use it as an audio book. This explains how to do it, but in iTunes 12, I do not see an option called "Part of a Compilation" option.
    Is there a way to do it in iTunes without installing a new app?
    Thank you.

    Eugene,
    Those instructions, if I read them correctly, are about how to collect several MP3s into a single audiobook.  They will not create a single continuous MP3.
    iTunes does not have the ability to combine multiple MP3s into a single MP3.  The best it can do is if you burn them to audio CD and then rip back with "Join Tracks" enabled.  The better way is to use an audio editor such as Audacity, or a special purpose combing tool such as MP3 Joiner.

  • Can I put my iPod info into my iTunes library?

    I recentely had to do a system restore on my computer, so all of the music on my iTunes library is erased. It is all still in my iPod though, and I need to send my iPod back to apple for repairs, but it says the info may be erased. Can I put my iPod's music/videos into my iTunes library? (For free... I have found a bunch of programs costing money)

    Google is your friend -- I found a bunch of free programs including this one:

  • How to download duplicate songs from album "A" and album "B" in iTunes

    Hello!
    In iTunes I've bought Album "A" that has "track 2."  More recently I purchased Album "B" which also has "track 2" but it will not download stating that I already have it as part of Album "A."  I would really like to only have the newer album on my device but since it's missing that track, it's kind of disappointing.  I've looked through several options in iTunes and tried various Google phrases but I can't seem to find an answer so that I can make "track 2" appear in both album "A" and "B."  Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

    Never seen this before. They are different tracks from different albums (even if they are the same song). It's no different than buying a regular album and a greatest hits album. The greatest hits will have 2-3 songs from the regular album but you still get all the tracks on the greatest hits.
    Which albums & song?
    Both of these are purchased in iTunes store?

  • How do I import a whole file into my iTunes Library?

    When I try to import an album to my iTunes, it takes all the songs out of the album folder and puts it in the library, and so when i send it to my iPod it goes under Songs>than the tracks but instead I want it to go like Artist>Album>Than the tracks. Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks

    As long as the information on each of those song tags contains the Artist and Album, you'll be able to go to the link you want on your iPod, ie, Artist -> Albums -> Songs.
    It will also show under the Songs menu, but it will also be present on the other menu as long as the iPod and iTunes has all the info present.
