Can't Add Any Video To iTunes

I've read through every single thread on this topic, but cannot find a solution and could really use some help. I rebuilt my computer and everything is working great. Except, I cannot add a single video to itunes. I used to add and remove videos constantly and never really had an issue. I've tried mp4, mov, different sizes, etc. Nothing will ever show up.
Most of these threads end in 'they show up in Home Videos' which would be great, but I never even get the Home Videos section to show up. I've tried adding them to 'automatically add to itunes' folder with itunes closed. Once I open itunes, they go straight into the 'not added' folder.
Been at this for days now and am at a true loss. I have 12.1.1.4 on Windows 7 64-bit and Quicktime 7. Any thoughts?

Hi. You can try to remove iTunes and the following Units by successively.:Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
Also should pay attention to the authorize issue:iTunes 12 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • Can't transfer any videos to iTunes!

    I just got a new iPod, as I used to own one around a year ago. However, when I try to drag a video file into iTunes, it never adds them to the library. Nor does it add them if I manually select 'add to library' and find the file. I've tried loads of different formats, including the sample file in the FAQ from Apple, yet iTunes simply doesn't copy anything to the library!
    What is going on? It's just impossible to transfer any of my current videos to iTunes.

    Hi guys
    I had the same problem - my husband bought a 30GB iPod the other day and we were having the exact same problem, but we've managed to fix it for us. Here's what we did:
    1. Went to software update (under the little apple on the bar at the top) and downloaded the huge Mac 10.4.9 update (it was about 350MB!).
    2. Downloaded the latest version of Quicktime and installed it. Note: you can't install the latest version of quicktime unless you've installed the 10.4.9 update. It won't let you.
    3. Drag the movie into iTunes from the Finder, and it should take a few seconds to register that you wanted to add it and a minute or so to import. This is not the end, however.
    4. Make sure the movie/s you want to transfer to your iPod are selected, go to the 'Advanced' menu, and then 'Convert selection for iPod' (or something like that). This will take a very long time. It took nearly an hour for each 42 minute movie/tv show we added. You can do as many as you like at a time, but make sure the HDD doesn't go to sleep. Even though the website said that the iPods will play the mp4 format, the iPod wouldn't accept it (it converted them to m4v format). They will duplicate in your iTunes folder, annoyingly enough, so it does take up twice the space.
    If you use a program called HandBrake to rip movies from DVDs, then it has the feature that converts it automatically to iPod format, but obviously this doesn't play on all computers. But I am not advocating piracy; we had some movie projects we'd deleted from the HDD on a DVD we ripped.
    And that's it. That's all we did, and it worked fine. YAY! My husband was extremely pleased, as you can imagine.
    We had the latest version of iTunes aswell.
    So hopefully this should work for you! If it doesn't, I'm sorry.

  • Can't get any videos into itunes

    I have a few that were already there, but I have some new shows I have converted to Mp4 and I can't get them to import into iTunes. Any idea why they won't import?
    Jason

    I'm having the same problem. I've got 2 test videos: 1 from handbrake using the iPhone settings and the other is a quick movie recorded in iMovie and exported to iPod.
    When I try to drag them into iTunes the cursor changed to the green "+" but nothing happens. I've also tried going through File>Add to Library... with similar the same lack of result.
    iTunes is 7.4.2 freshly re-installed.

  • I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

    I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

    Ejects the harddrive?
    Of what did your old Mac die?
    It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere.  Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

  • Just updated to iTunes 10.2.1 and now can't add any new songs.

    My MACbook is running 10.5.8 and just last week I updated to iTunes 10.2.1 but now I can't add any new songs at all. I go through the motions but when I check the "recently added" checklist, it's blank. The song is never added to my iTunes library. Is there a fix for this?

    RESOLVED.
    I tried updating iTunes to 10.2.2 thinking this might somehow help me but same situation. Upon further investigation, the set of MP3s I was trying to add didn't  have the typical MP3 logo on them. When I tried to delete them from my system, it said "in use by application". I forced a delete. I copied the MP3s again to my MACbook and this time was successful in adding them. Looks like it was a bad set of MP3s and not iTunes.

  • ITunes is saying that I have over 4.78 GB under the category of "other", making it so my iPhone 4 can't add any data (music, apps, pictures, etc.). I'm currently using only 1.3 GB of storage on my iPhone, and the rest is "other". How do I fix this?

  • How do I add/import videos to iTunes?

    Hi. I've only had my iPod Touch for two months now and I have songs, games, and pictures on it. The only thing missing are the videos.
    i download them and they're on my documents. i don't know what video type they are. i download them from mediafire.com.
    anyways, i got at least half of the videos that i want on my document, but i don't know how to add them to iTunes.
    I'll click the file, and nothing happens. I've tried dragging, but the won't let me drag it. i don't know how to work iTunes videos.
    Help me.

    I don't know if you have a mac or windows, but for mac there is great tool available I use all the time: VideoDrive. It puts any video in iTunes: simply drag the videos on the application and it will download artwork, metadata and then put it in the right iTunes category (movies or TV Shows). You can choose to convert videos or keep them in their original format (mkv, avi and so on). Obviously converting is much slower. You can download it here http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27326/videodrive. They don't have a windowz version though.

  • Video's are missing and can not post any video's and can no longer see on Facebook after upgrading mac software.  Facebook says content is unavailable.  Is this a facebook issue or is there something that I can do to fix on my mac.

    Video's are missing from facebook album under photo's.  It shows that I have 99 and only shows 24.  These are not copyright problems.  I have had them up for years.  Now, I can not post any video's  too.  Message says that content is currently unavailable. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to 10.7.5 but it could be coincidental.  Of course, I have not got any email from facebook to help with this problem and I am really frustrated that I can not find my video's and post any new ones anymore.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,
