Automatically add files to iTunes not processing mp4 files on Windows 8.1

I have iTunes 12.1.1.4 install on a Windows 8 (x64) system. I have been using iTunes for quite some time and my library is located at c:\Music. On earlier versions (version 10 of iTunes for example) I would drop an MP4 file into c:\Music\Automatically Add to iTunes" directory and iTunes would process this file and add to either the movies or TV Shows section.
I have not used this feature in some time but now have started to. Currently, if I place the mp4 in that directory, iTunes does not do anything with the video. I have gotten to using "Add Folder to Library" and iTunes will then process the directory. I do have "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checked.
How can I get iTunes to recognize that a file has been placed in this directory and process it?

Two possibilities:
iTunes has processed the file but has categorized it as "Home Movies" rather than other video kinds - in this case you'll be able to find it under that heading in iTunes. Note that there's a bug in iTunes 12 where even if you then change the media kind - for example, to "TV Show" or "Movie" - it will be shown in the new category in the iTunes UI but the files will still be in the "Home Movies" folder under iTunes Media
If iTunes has not been able to process the file, you should find within a Not Added folder under Automatically Add to iTunes - the most likely cause of this is that the MP4 files are using a codec that is not compatible with iTunes.

ITunes will not import mp4-files.

For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

"Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

BPM was Picking two files but it was not processing 2nd file data in target

Hi all,
I have designed scenario for picking two files and i want to merge this files into single structure and send it target.when i am try to testing my bpm was picking two files but it is processing only file it went target system.i have steructe for source like
source1     target
root        header
a           item 0 to unbounded
b            a
c            b
             c
source2     item1 duplicated structure
a            a
b            b
c            c
i am getting two source files with the same structure but i have to map it one target structure and i want to map both source fileds to one target structre under item node so i was duplicated item node and mapped a b c fields from both(2 source structures).while testing BPM is picking two file bu in the target i am getting only first file data under item node,whatever i mapped with duplicate structure with second file i am not getting into target file(target is standard proxy structure so cant' create new one item node in that occurance is 0 to unbounded thats y i duplicated node while testing interface mapping its working fine).can anyone suggest solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Seshagiri.

Hi,
In BPM follow the below steps and hopefully your problem will be solved.
1.     Configure one sender CC to get the files from your application server, once the files hit the BPM now you need to
                     configure your BPM accordingly.
2.     Use the Receiver step in BPM to receive the messages. Use the correlation step to get the correct files.
3.     Use container and append the files, so both the files will be append, this means the message content will
                     have 1header, body, footer, 2header, body, footer.
4.     If you want to split the message to different receiver then use the fork step else leave it.
5.     Use the transformation step, the transformation step will call the message mapping. Provide the correct message
                     mapping.
6.     Now use the sender step to send the message to the receiver-target system. In this step use the split value for each
                      concept if you want to generate two different files.
7.     Configure 1 receiver CC to generate both the files.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jay

Why does Aperture 3,not process RAW files from Leica D-Lux 5 ?

Hello:
The purchase of my Leica D-Lux 5 came with LR 3. All raw files can be processed in that Application.However.I also have Aperture 3 and it will not process RAW files from the D-Lux 5.I hope that Apple soon will address this inconvenience.Has anyone els had the same problem?
Hoping for a solution;Thanks John Basso. Mac OS X 10.6.7

I can tell you that it does process them from Panasonic LX5's - I have one. The files are probably very similar with slightly different processing metadata and a different tag. It is possible to change the tag in the RAW file prior to import that "fools" aperture into thinking that the RAW is the same as a camera that is supported. I have done this with other cameras where the RAW files were really the same but the camera was not yet "officially supported" at the time I bought it.
I kinda remember doing it to the EP-2 or was it the EPL-1? Don't remember but there are plenty of tools that will allow this - google is your friend.
Just make sure that your install of Ap3/OS X DOES actually have support for the LX5... Might work but I have not tried it.

Any idea??
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards.

Hi,
Check the privelages for the folder and file on the ftp server. It should have both read and write permissions.

Elements 11 will not process RAW files from my Nikon D7100

Elements 11 will not process RAW files from my Nikon D7100. Ca anyone help?

My version of ELEMENTS 11 contained an out of date Applications Manager and would not look for updates. After I discovered this (involving much trawling on different websites) I downloaded an up to date version which found Camera Raw v7.4. Happily, this works. Version 8 is not yet available.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title. The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly. I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over. I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear. It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
Panel.
The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
(and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
(Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
examle PHP files in DW.

Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
happens.

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
I will appreciate your assistance.

Hi,
Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?

Hi,
You mentioned you tried some steps but I'm not sure what they are, you may try my suggestion to resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Click Start, right-click Computer, click
Properties, and then click Advanced system settings.
On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
Locate and select the __COMPAT_LAYER variable, and then click Edit.
Set the value of the __COMPAT_LAYER variable to EnableThemes. Or, delete the __COMPAT_LAYER variable.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Hi Dhanabal,
Is the XI system running on a unix machine ?
If yes, from the OS level for the folder you are using in the file comm. channel, execute the command
<b>chmod 777 <folder_name></b>
The reason for the file to show up in receiver side and not get deleted might be that the xi user mighht be having only read access to the folder...
Thanks,
Renjith.
