Can not add videos to my ipad 2

I have a the app called Telestrator, I'm trying to add sports videos to teach with, I can not add them to my ipad via iPhoto or iTunes, I have tried several videos conversions but keep getting the "the video is not playable on this iPad"

Hello solidroq,
This can be worked around by creating a version of the video that is compatible with your iPod.
Select a video and choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

Can't Add Videos to Library

Greetings:
I've followed the instructions and I can no longer get video into my iTunes Library.
I reformatted them into mp4, tried navigating to them from Add to Library in the File menu, tried dragging and dropping, but nothing happens. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and iPod software. I even trashed iTunes and reinstalled it, but nothing happens.
I had put on a couple of videos when I first got my 5th gen., so I moved them onto my Mac and tried to add them to the iTunes Library and that didn't work either, so I didn't think it's a format problem. I do get the error message that the new videos were't moved because they won't play on my iPod, even though they're in the same format as the ones that do play (MPEG-4). The old files that do play are MPEG-4s but have the suffix m4v. I tried changing the new file suffixes but it didn't help.
Audio files go in fine.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks...

I have the exact same problem. I have several episodes of a series in .avi format. I used Prism to convert them to .mp4 format (I've done this hundreds of times). For some reason iTunes only lets some of the videos into the library. The others just dont show up. iTunes doesnt say i CAN'T add them (i.e. when i try to drag and drop i get a little plus sign and not the restricted symbol), but none the less it won't actually add them. All the files were converted one after the other using the same conversion software, all in the same session.

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.

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.

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.

I can not add a wmv file to the library. It is not protected

Can not add a video file to Itunes library and even when I try to open the video using "open with Itunes", Itunes start but instead of the video I see the music library

iTunes cannot play nor convert WMV files. You'll need to use a third-party application to convert the video to a format iTunes can accept.

How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks? Thanks....

Hi jybravo70,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article.

Can't add video to new itunes

Hi, hope someone here can help me because im getting kind of fustrating by not been able to add videos on the new itues. I've got the new video i want to add to the library its on "MP4" format, but for some reason when i go to to the "Add File to Library" and look for my file i want to add, the video does not appear on my library, just wondering anyone had this problem before and can tell me how to fix it, or if theres a way to get your videos to the library on the new itunes!..please help!

Reason one: if you have not installed quicktime, the new iTunes will refuse to import video
Solution: install QuickTime player as well as reinstall iTunes.
Reason two: the video format or codec, or specifacation does not meet the iTunes 11 demand
Solution: convert video like mp4, m4v, mov, avi, wmv, mkv, flv to iTunes supported one, detailed guide atSolution on Can't Add Videos to iTunes 11
Move video from Home videos to Movies in itunes
Go to the particular movie in "Home Videos" section, on the movie, right click the mouse (for Windows users) or press Ctrl and click the mouse (for Mac users) to open the context menu, in the context menu, click on "Get info", the "Get info" window will pop up, switch to "Options" section, click the "Media Kind" drop down list to select Movie, finally click "OK" button, your movie will automatically moved to "Movies" section.

Can not add pictures to my website

When I edit my website on (bluedomino.com) I can not add pictures I receive an error message - an error has interrupted communication between your browser and the website server. Bluedomino looked at the problem and could not resolve said it was firefox issue. I switched over to Int.Explore and I have no problem it also seems to run faster. I have no problem viewing my web sites all the pictures display I can't add new ones. I'm able to upload the pictures to bluedomino but can not insert them on the edit page or post them.
