Adding music to iTunes library problem

So I try to add a song from my home folder to iTunes and it tells me I don't have access privileges for this operation. What is going on? I have it set up so it will copy the song to Macintosh HD:Users:Shared:iTunes Music, but it doesn't allow me to!

In Finder open a "get info" windows on that above mentioned folder by a right-click
take a look at "sharing & permissions:"
what is listed?

Hi 845greening123,
If you do not see your iTunes library when attempting to add music to your iPhoto slideshow, follow the steps outlined in the last section of this article -
iPhoto '11: Add music to a slideshow
See the section titled If you don’t see your iTunes library in the Source pop-up menu:

Adding music to iTunes library - changes to files

When I import music files into iTunes (always with the "Add Folder to Library" command), I've noticed some strange things. First, iTunes makes changes to the file by embedding the album cover. I don't really mind this, although I'd like to have the option to turn it off. Can I?
Also, I've noticed that the artist name as displayed in iTunes is different than the file name or the id3 tag. For example, if the tag says "Beatles", iTunes will display it as "The Beatles." Where is iTunes getting this different information, and is there a way to turn this alleged "feature" off?
Thanks.

You're right - I determined that the art is there before I add it to iTunes.
The naming issue is strange. I tag all of my mp3's with a program called "Tag & Rename" (a very good program). If an artist name has a preceding "the", I always strip it out. When I add it to iTunes, it displays the name with the "the" put back in. However, the id3 tag has not been altered! If I "Get Info" in iTunes, it shows the "the" - but this is not the tag info embedded in the file (which does not have the "the"). I can get rid of the "the" within iTunes in the "Get Info" box, but again, it doesn't look like this is altering the tag info.
Other messages here seemed to indicate that when you edit the "Get Info" box, that this is altering the file's id3 tag, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Does anyone have any more insight into this?

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library?

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library? I had no problems when I updated, just had to get used to the new format and appearance. Added a few albums here and there, and then today I can't get anything in the Library. I've always just dragged and dropped my music with no problems. I've had an Ipod for the last six years and never encountered any big problems with Itunes or my various Ipods.

Why is this Itunes such a pile of junk? If I restart my computer I can sometimes find the recently added music in my Itunes Library.
It would be nice to know if other people are having the same problems.

When adding songs to Itunes library, itunes stops working

When adding songs to itunes library it stops wokring and itunes closes.

I'm having the exact same problem and I came to this forum seeking the answer.
To go into more detail, the problem occurs when you click on 'Add File to Library', then select multiple songs from a folder using the CTL key. You can add tracks individually with no problem. Use CTL to choose two or three tracks, that works fine, too. But if you choose more than that, nothing gets added to the Library.
If I had to guess, I'm thinking it might have something to do with the total number of characters allowed (on the selected tracks) before the 'Add to Library' pop-up form basically fails to work properly. I've also noticed the magic number of selected tracks to be somewhere in the 3-4 range before it doesn't work.
It definitely feels like a software bug and I've experienced it in more than one version of iTunes, including the current release. I'm hoping Apple will recognize and fix it sometime soon. Having to go into the same folder three or four times to import 10 or more tracks from the same album is pretty irritating.

Updated iPhoto could no longer use the music from iTunes library for slideshow

Anybody checked if you can still use your music from iTunes library for slideshows?
After updating both iPhoto and iTunes to the latest version in Mavericks, all music links in the iPhoto's slideshows became invalid. Tried even to re-establish the music links, but it seems like the iPhoto would not play any music from the iTunes library. Only the sample music from iPhoto is usable. The iTunes works fine by the way.
Thanks a lot!

I think I found a workaround that seemed to correct the problem. In iTunes, go to the File menu and choose Library. Then select Organize Library. Next choose Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media". Click OK.

All of a sudden (video) files added to my iTunes library after a certain date aren't playable on other devices.

hello!
All of a sudden I have a weird issue with playing video-files added to my iTunes library after a specific date.
This is the situation so far:
I encode the video for iTunes with the same settings for the last 3 years. I know these vids play on all my devices. AppleTV & iPad. All of a sudden videos added to my library after the 8th of september aren't playable on my AppleTV and iPad. I can play them directly in iTunes and by accessing them directly via the finder and quicktime.
The following errors occur:
When I pull the video from iTunes on my AppleTV.. the video simply doesn't play.
When I pull the video from iTunes on my iPad I get a message that the file can't be found.
When I push the video from iTunes to the AppleTV using airplay I get a message that there has occured an error while connecting to the AirPlay-device "Apple TV". The necesary file could not be found. In addition when the AppleTV is switched off it doesn't turn on doing this, suggesting that there is something missing on my mac itself.
All the above errors aren't popping up when I choose a video that has been put in my library before the 9th of september. Then everything works as expected.
This is what I tried:
Turning off and on home sharing on all devices including the mac.
Logging in wiht a different apple ID though using the same ID as before.
I created a new iTunes library and populated with a video that was added after the 8th of september and one that was added before the 9th of september. Surprisingly the older one played and not the newer one.. while they both used the same encoding settings. The new library was locally on my mac as my original library is on a NAS.
I encode my videos with Quicktime 7 Pro using the following settings:
H.264 (current frame rate, key-frames:automatic, re-order frames, automatic bitsize)
Medium Quality
Multi-pass
current resolution (which is always 1280 X 720)
AAC sound
44.100 kHz
128kbps
I'm using the Mountain lion 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7 Mountain lion got updated a few days after 19th of september and iTunes i think as well. Both versions were released after this issue seemed to pop up.
I also have two video-files encoded on the same day with the same settings that dragged into the iTunes library on the 9th of september. One works.. the other doesn't.
So I wonder if there is somebody out there that can tell me what might have happened here and how I could fix this issue.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Seraphiel07.
I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
All connected through:
Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
I have:
1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
All comments welcome.
