Can't Add Files to iTunes - Different Situation

My wife and I both run iTunes on separate computers, but we use the same external harddrive to store the library. I added a bunch of CDs to our library from my computer, but when I try to add the content to the library on my wife's it doesn't get added. I use the 'Add folder to Library' option, but iTunes doesn't add the files.
The music is there on my library and on my iPod, but can't be added to the other library.

On the iTunes Task Bar, Click on Advanced (It may be something different in Windows, I can't remember.) and Click on Authorise computer.

Can't add files to two different phones

I have created a ringtone for my iphone 4s and loaded just fine. I tried to add the ringtone to my fiances phone and I get the red circle with the line through it so I can't add anything to her phone. No photos, music etc. I tried signing out of Itunes and into her account but still nothing. Computer is authorized. Ringtone is in the Tones folder in ITunes but just can't drag and drop in hers but can in my Iphone 4s. Any suggestions?

I think your method is wrong. You should not change the m4a file to m4r file in it's original location which is for music library.
Refer proper steps here for creating ringtones:
Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version”
You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
*Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device. Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.

Can't add files to iTunes library - nothing happens

I used a tool to remove embedded artwork from MP3s (since you can't do this for more than 1 MP3 at a time with iTunes). When this tool was running, it crashed. I've found 3 albums that won't work in iTunes anymore. iTunes acts like it's adding it but nothing happens. No error message, nothing.
The songs play perfectly fine in Windows Media Player and other players. Why can't iTunes add them? Help

On the iTunes Task Bar, Click on Advanced (It may be something different in Windows, I can't remember.) and Click on Authorise computer.

Can't drag files from itunes library (to anywhere) anymore.

Recently I've noticed I can no longer drag files from the library in my itunes. I can't drag them to playlists, and I can't drag them to the desktop.
I have repaired permissions and even tried removing the library.xml file and let it generate a new one, but I still get the same result.
I am on a mac os 10.6.8 Macbook Pro.
I'm not sure when ths started happening, but I wonder if it has something to do with an itunes update. I have the newest version and always dwnload the updates. I can still add files to the library by control-clicking the files and selecting the option in the dropdown list. This isn't an intentional change in the way the program works is it? Is no one else having this problem??

Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

Forgot to tick - Add files to itunes media folder

Hi, im new to itunes and have recently downloaded my cd collection to itunes ( 7000 odd tracks worth)
Ive just realised that i never had the "add files to itunes media folder when adding to library" box ticked.
I would like to know if im am still able to add all my music to the itunes media folder now that they are already downloaded and in my library?
I would like to know this because i would like to use some songs in windows movie maker and when i search for the music using wmm, i can find the itunes media folder but there is no music inside.
Can anyone help on this matter ,
Thanks scott

In iTunes parlance a file is consolidated if it is located inside the iTunes Media folder, and by extension unconsolidated if outside the media folder. The option you refer to, if enabled, ensures that all tracks added to the library thereafter are consolidated, though it won't affect tracks that are already part of the library when you make the change.
Having the files consolidated means that iTunes can, if you wish, also update the file and folder names to reflect changes that you make to tags. A fully consolidated library where the media folder is a subfolder of the main iTunes library folder is also portable making it much easier to backup, restore, move or migrate.
You can consolidate your entire library with File > Library > Organise Library > Consoldiate files, or selected files by right-clicking on them and clicking Consolidate files.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update?
If not, please do so.
Please clarify "Can't add files filmed in 1080/60i to Premiere Elements 12."
Are you importing the 1080 60i into the project using (Expert workspace) Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets?
If so, are you getting an error message inside of the video appearing in Project Assets?
Are you setting the project preset manually or letting the program do that task automatically?
What is the project preset?
(See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General).
The project preset should be, for your 1080i...
NTSC
AVCHD
Full HD1080i30
What is the project preset for the 1080p footage?
(Also see Edit Menu/Project Settings/General.)
The project preset should be, for your 1080p
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DLSR 1080p30 or DLSR [email protected]
Since your camera appears to be producing AVCHD.mov files, do you have the latest version
of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12/12.1?
The answers will be in the details. Please review and then let us know the details and results
based on the above.
Thank you.

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

I can play audio files in iTunes but I can't play downloaded tv shows or movies. Everytime I try to play them, iTunes stops working and closes. Any information will help.

Is QuickTime installed? If not it might help to install it.
If so is Direct3D Video Acceleration enabled? If so it might help to disable.

Can't add files or file aliases to the dock

I can't add files or file aliases to the dock. All the help viewer says about this is this issue?

Hi Wagnerian, Welcome to Apple Discusswions.
When adding files or folders to the Dock, they must go to the right side of the hairline (the same side that Trash is on).
If this what you are doing and it still doesn't work navigate to /Users/YourHome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and delete that file. then log out and back in or restart. (You'll have to reset your Dock the way you like it)

Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted?

Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted. Any sugestions? I have three Mac's and they all have the same problem.

Gmatos, when I high-light and drag file from iTunes to my trash the usual promt of "do I want to remove it" followed by by the uual "do I want to keep the file or remove that from my library" comes up too. I click "dont keep file" and it is gone from my itunes and my library an my HD. It's exactly the same as it's always been except annoyingly this is the only way I can do it as the delete button just doesn't work in this latest version.
Hope this is clearer for you.

HT201209 Can I add to my iTunes account using my credit card?

Can you add to your iTunes account total with a credit card, or is a iTunes card the only way to add money?

If you add a credit card, it won't count towards the total; instead, it'll be charged after the gift card balance is used up, or when buying gifts.

How can I share files and itunes through extreme base station ??

How can I share files and itunes music through the extreme base station. as well as locate and place files onto the external hard drive that is connected to the X.B.S. from my or other computers hooked up to it ??
thank you in advance for your attention on this matter.
- BrooklyNYC

Which AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) are you discussing? The new square 802.11b/g/n AEBS supports the direct connection of USB hard drives. The previous round 802.11b/g AEBS does not have that capability. I have a feeling that you are asking about the new one but this is the discussion area for the old one.
The new square 802.11b/g/n AEBS allows you to share files directly from the connected USB drive. It doesn't matter what the files are so you can store your iTunes library there and get access wirelessly.
The round 802.11b/g AEBS doesn't have this ability.
