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.

  • How can i "add file to library" and have it be considered to be a Podcast?

    I went to a web site and downloaded a file to my C drive (MP3 format) that is not music. It is spoken, and is what i would call a 'Podcast', although i did not access it via iTunes as an official podcast. I then use iTunes "add file to library" function. But, it considers it to be music. I thought maybe drag/drop would work to let me add it to Podcasts, but it does not.
    How can i get this file which i have imported into iTunes to be treated as a Podcast? First, i'd like it to appear on my iPod with 'Podcasts'. But, more importantly, if i stop listening in the middle, i'd like it to restart from that point the next time i start it again. Now, it is treated by the iPod like music, and so it starts at the beginning each time.
    Thanks for your help! Tom.

    Is there a way that you can "subscribe" to something that is not in iTunes store? This is just a file on a site that is available for download.
    If not -- does anybody else know if there is a way to do what the original question posed, to have a file that you downloaded, treated as a Podcast instead of as music?
    Thanks, tom.

  • Help Can not add music to library

    When i go to file- add file to library- and select the file(playlist) from windows media play it doesnt do anything no error message or anything. I am not good with computers so i need help. All the songs are mp3's. I dont know what to do.

    When i go to file- add file to library- and select the file(playlist) from windows media play
    Make sure that you are adding actual files - not a windows media player 'playlist'.
    1. Locate where you store the music files that you want (on your computer)
    2. Select the file(s) or album folder
    3. Move the file(s) to your iTunes library on your computer (usually: C: My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music)
    4. In iTunes: File > Add File to library ....Or Add Folder to library > locate the files, select them and add.
    Note: It's best to chose a Media Player that you fancy the most to handle your media. If you use two media players to play the same files - then it may cause a conflict between them resulting in duplicate files, files that are not found and automatic renaming of files etc.
    Good luck

  • Can not add music to library.

    I have tried adding music files (MP3)  to library and it opens fine and allows me to select it but then it does not appear in the library. I've tried dragging and dropping but nothing. I have also manually added files to the Itunes folder. They appear but not in Itunes. If I uninstall Itunes and reinstall how will this effect the Iphone, and Ipod information apps ect? Will I have to redo all the sign in junk associated? Because honestly with an Iphone and two separate Ipods all with different info and logins is a nightmare I dont want to revisit.

  • Itunes will not add files to Library

    Greetings.
    My iTunes will not add my recent downloads to my library.
    I have tried adding the entire folder to the library and adding each song individually with no success.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks for reading.

    I am having this problem as well, both with audio files AND video files. Very frustrating, as I just got my first iPod and want to load it up so I can play! (Not new to iTunes, though...just didn't have everything loaded into it).
    I see a lot of posts on this forum regarding this...can anyone help??

  • Can not add mp3 to library

    I just downloaded an mp3 song from Marié Digby's free area, and I couldn't for the life of me get it to import or add to my itunes library. I have played the track via VLC and it doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it. I added my entire Downloads folder to try and get it to show up. I wish I had an error I could give, simply iTunes 11 on my MBP running ML 10.8.2.

    I don't have a Recently Added playlist.  However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes.  I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet.  Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there.  Thanks for your help. 

  • Itunes 11.1.5.5 can not add files or folders with accents?

    Hello,
    I'm using Itunes 11.1.5.5 and when I use the add folder to my library all the files with no accents are added propperly but all those folders or files with an accent (á é í ó ú) that are commonly used in spanish are not well recognized and will add only the song without all the related information (artis, album, etc) so it is impossible to add an keep ordered. This didn´t happened to me in previous versions. Can someone help with a solution? Is this a bug and how can I solve?
    Thanks

    More details for this scenario. With only one file (song) with an accent, all the songs on that folder would be added with no tags under "unknown album" no artist. The same will happen for all the songs within a folder with an accent.

  • Newest version of iTunes will not add files to library.

    When I go to add a file to my iTunes library (11.01.1), the file does not show up in my Library. However, it shows up in the "Recently Added" playlist. Bizarre. Anyone else have this problem?

    Yes other peole have found 2 possibilities
    If iTunes Match is used try Store > Update iTunes Match
    if you do not use iTunes Match try logging out of itunes store and logging in again.

  • Can't add file to library (no error, file can't be found)

    Hi All-
    I hope I'm not asking a really stupid question. I have recently transfered my library to iTunes in my new Macbook (my first Mac), which went fine. Since then I have added some new music. Sometime between then and now (just a few days) something has happened to my iTunes.
    Now, when I try to add a file to the library nothing happens. I select it and press choose and I get no error, nothing. The file isnt in iTunes after I add it. I have done a search for the files, I have restarted and tried again and still the files aren't added. I have gone into the files and made sure I have full permissions so thats not the problem. I'm hoping someone knows what I'm talking about! Thanks!

    iTunes 7.0.2 under OS X 10.3.9
    I noticed that songs in various folders within itunes:Music did not appear anywhere in my library. Some appeared in various playlists. When set playing & command L, they are revealed as in a playlist.
    Aha!, thought I, the database no loger syncs with the music folder/subfolders. Do as Apple advise & drag the whole music folder into the iTunes window. Many hundreds of such items lost to the library were then trwled through and various messages informed me that the library was being cleaned up.
    Alas!, when I did a search of the libray, not a single further item has been added. Songs are still to be found in the playlists, but not in the Library.
    Any ideas, anyone?

  • Can not add files in my account.need help

    whenever i try to open acrobat.com to add pdf files in my account it stops on a blank screen even refreshing it does not help

    Okay I've done some playing around with my photos by doing what you've told me to do.
    When I do it to a movie that is not affected it takes me to the file in the Finder window. I also did the same with the photos under the same event of the movie. Selecting "Show File" takes me to the file in the Finder window.
    When I performed the same task to an affected movie and its related photos it doesn't show me where the file is. It brings up the Finder window only showing the internal hard drive and network icons.
    Having gone through this task, I've identified another issue. When I double click on a photo that is in the same event as the affected movie, a big black exclamation mark in a grey circle with a black background pops up. Are these photos and movies corrupt or have not transfered through probably when I did the copy and paste from the back-up file?

  • An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method.  Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  My OS is Windows 7.

    I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop.  The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places.  I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer.  Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works.  I've tried both ways over and over.  Cannot figure out what the problem is.  I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all.  Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong?  My OS is Windows 7, using IE9.  Thanks.
    ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE:  I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes.  The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

    I don't have a Recently Added playlist.  However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes.  I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet.  Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there.  Thanks for your help.

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 and iBooks version 2.1.1. I have 64GB of storage, 80% is used. iBooks is using 250MB of storage. I have a large number of PDF files in my iBooks library. At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library.  When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks?  Thanks....
