Can no longer add music files to itunes after 10.4 update

For over 7 years i have used frostwire to download and save music into a m3u file on my computer. Then i would go to itunes and add file to library locate my file i would call my music and add it. Never have i had a problem however after the 10.4 update nothing is showing up in my library when i try to add file. Please help is there going to be an update to fix this or is there something i can do to fix it?

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

  • I can no longer add music to my phone after using tones

    I got a new iPhone 5C and I am trying to make tones for it.  I used an app to make a tone and when I enable Synching Tones All Tones I can no longer add music to my phone through iTunes.  When I try to drag and drop a music file the icon has a red circle with a line through it. 

    Hello Skymeck,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Here are a couple of threads from the Communities that explain how to add tones to your phone. You might want to review them to ensure you are adding them correctly and not getting in the way of syncing music.

  • I can't add music files to iTunes

    Since 10.4 I can't add music files to iTunes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    iTunes seems to scan and add them in gray, but fails to add the files to iTunes.
    My exact problem is described over here: http://www.betalogue.com/2011/07/25/itunes104-addingfiles/
    Any ideas?

    In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
              Go ▹ Computer
    from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section?

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • Why can't I add mp3 files to itunes?

    I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 I've been able to add mp3 files to iTunes by going to file-->add folder to library-->and selecting My Music. I have 5,000+ mp3 files in that folder that USED to play fine on itunes, but they don't show up! I can still play a song by double clicking, but it doesn't stay in my iTunes library. Any ideas? Or is this just a really annoying bug?

    I'm having this problem too. Not with all mp3 files, just some. But this particular file I can't even double click to listen.......
    Hope you get a reply!

  • Cant add music files to iTunes

    Hi there. I have iTunes version 9.0.2.25 and unable to add music files to the existing list. I recently formatted my computer for a fresh start (which I have done previously with no iTunes issue), re-added the folder I have all my music in for iTunes but the new files won't add. It adds the 443 music files that I had on iTunes prior to formatting my computer but won't add any new single files when I use File -> Add file etc. as I did originally before the format.
    I have googled the issue and there are a lot of people with the same problem but the forums have no answers.
    Could somebody please help me with this problem as it is on my iPhone 3G which is an integral part of my work and public time.
    Regards
    Ross

    I'm having the problem of not being able to add any of my files/folders. And **** will freeze over before i do CDs again. Everytime I upgrade iTunes I have this problem. And I only upgrade when I get a new computer. I can import a CD, but I can't import files or folders from my hard drive.

  • How to add music/files to itunes?

    I reanctly found my old music on a flash drive. I have been trying to add the files to itunes, but it is not working. I am going through the normal procedure, bu adding files to libary, but nothing is happening... Would be great if someone could give me some advice! Beth

    Beth,
    When iTunes encounters a file that is not compatible it "errors silently," which looks to the user exactly like "nothing is happening."  So I'm guessing that the files you found are either in a format not compatible with iTunes, or else are corrupted, more likely the former.
    Do they play OK in another player, such as QuickTime or VLC?

  • Why can't I add mp3 files to iTunes for Mac 12.1?

    I recently tried to add some mp3 files downloaded from a website that don't have DRM (it's folk dances for us to practice to) to iTunes 12.1 but without any success. Attempt to drag and drop the files from the downloads folder are ineffectual as though I've tried to perform a prohibited action.  I've tried using Import to Library but again without success.  I've searched for the files by name as I saw some reports that files were added but not visible in the library list until searched for - nada.  The files aren't old and the website is a well managed secure site so I am not thinking this is some dodgy file issue.
    Any help gratefully received - I'm brave enough to do a bit of 'Terminal' tinkering but am no expert.
    Thanks

    Hey Wellington Boots, I think I may have find an answer for you... and myself ; )
    Is it possible that you brought back your music from a backup or time machine?
    If so, make sure you have the proper rights on that specific folder... To check that do the following:
    Go into the finder in the iTunes folder: /Users/youruser/Music/iTunes
    Then right click on the iTunes folder and choose Get Info in the menu
    Unlock the properties by clicking on the lock icon in the lower right of the window
    Then in the bottom matrix make sure your username is in the list with Read & Write
    If it's not present (or you can't add it for some reason) click on the staff Name and change it's Privilege to Read & Write
    Now one more step, click on the settings wheel at the bottom middle of the window and select Apply to enclosed items
    This step may take a few seconds or minutes if you have a lot of music.
    Once this is done you should be able to easily add music in itunes.
    ScreenShot of the Get Info details
    Have fun.

  • Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

    Greetings!
    I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

  • How can I get my music back into iTunes after erasing my disk?

    I had to reinstall Windows XP, erasing everything on the hard disk. I had saved the music files with backup software, so I now have them back. But iTunes won't add them to my library. I tried importing songs from a new CD to see where iTunes put those files, and then copying an album folder into the same location. But Windows wouldn't copy the files inside the foder. Nearly all the songs were originally taken from CDs in my collection, and the songs are still on my iPod Nano.

    Wow,
    Wonder why XP won't let you copy files?, perhaps you used a different user name?
    Or these are the old DRM versions of the songs? You should be able to log into your iTunes account and authorize the computer and iTunes should recognize the songs.
    Well since you have the iPod Nano, you can head over to iLounge and ask them what current third party software works to move your iPod Nano music back to iTunes.
    Hope that works out for you

  • Add music files to itunes library

    Many songs that I have imported (create *.mp3) using an early version of itunes will no longer play in my ipod 5G video, or in itunes. So i've removed them from the itunes library, and now I cannot get the files back into itunes. I've tried all of the methods I know of: import a song, a folder, and dragging and dropping the folder. Please Help.

    Create the playlist folders.
    Create the playlists inside them.
    Drag your folders of music to their respective playlists.
    You may want to visit Edit > Preferences > Advanced, then turn off the Keep... & Copy... options.
