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.

Cant add files to itunes library

I downloaded some songs from a website and they showed/loaded up on windows media player. I tried to add them to itunes and nothing happened. I burned them to a cd and then tried to import the cd, but it never showed up. I looked at the files and it says they're itunes music player files (.wax). How do I get them into itunes? They won't add or show up.

Not acc. You want .aac. I use EZCDripper _http://www.8to32.com/_ full version. Its been a long time but I think I got a free 30 day trial version years ago at Tucows.com. This is a site I've used for years for trial and shareware software, never got a virus. Don't know what I would do without it. Let's you try before you by.
Got off topic. This software free version is restricted in that you can only do 5 songs each time, but you can do it as many times as you need. That is of course if the 30 day free trial is still available.
Good luck.

Can't add movie to iTunes library

i can't add my movie which is MPEG4 to iTunes library in my laptop. i open the file or drag it, nothing happened.
then i copied this movie to my office computer, and download iTunes to my office PC, this movie was added to the iTunes library successfully.
i tried it again in home, with my laptop, it failed again, just nothing happened. i don't know why?
but most of time, i use my ipad2 in home. how could i solve this problem?

I am having the same problem, got new iPad2 but becuase of this I am bit frustrated, can anyone help me. iTune version 10.5.0.142 windows XP. Before that it was working fine with iPod, but I think I updated the iTune and its not playing vedios even in iTune!! :s

Can't add songs to itunes library

I have a file with 87 songs in it and when i went to add the file to itunes library only 57 came up. i have tried adding songs by them selves. checked there tags and song names, and everything is normal but itunes wont add them... and no error message apears when doing so *** ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY PLZ~

Try http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0086.html it is an MP3 validator on your mp3's that will not play.
It could also be that the TAGS are not correctly written. There are a lot of problems when the tags are in the ID3v2.4 format. It's better if you switch to writing ID3v2.3 UTF-16 Tags. You can us a program like Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html) to write the tags, and remove unwanted tags.
Ps: As always make backups of your audio files before you try anything.

How can I add files to my library?

Here's my problem.
The 'Recently Added' list can't be cleared!!!! Do when I add new files to itunes, they just get all mixed in with the recently added files that are already there, and its a huge pain trying to locate the one's i just added in that mess so I can drag them to a play list. Is there a clean way to add files to my library so I can get just what I added???
Thanks

Hi
From your library view your songs. Right click on the first line where it shows name, artist, album, etc. You should see a list of menu items with some checked off. Check off the "date Added" one. You can now select the date added and select it again to show the most recently added order of your songs. Hope this works for you.

When I try to add a video file to my itunes library nothing happens

I have tried dragging and ctrl+o but nothing has happened.

What format is your video file? Itunes only support mov, m4v, mp4 formats.

Add Files To iTunes Library is not working

I unlocked several files put them on my desktop then added them to my iTunes library by going to File>Add to Library but after it clearly shows it's being imported and finished I then search the library for it but there's nothing there of that sort. I try searching for the folder name I imported and the names of the tracks but nothing. Any ideas? I'm using the latest Mac OS and ITunes.

The headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted or nonstandard. This can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities, and iTunes is very picky about header. Try running your MP3s through this utility:
Mp3 Validator Mac version
It sometimes can fix the problem.
Hope this helps.

Can't Add Movies to iTunes Library

I have terabytes of home movies that I have imported from the camera into iMovie. It dawned on me that I would like to watch these in my living room via my Apple TV III. However, I'm having trouble adding these .mov files to my iTunes library. I added a handful, but when I tried to view them in my iTunes library (by double-clicking on the title in iTunes), I got a very low-res version of it that only shows a frame or two per second. When I tried to view them on my Apple TV, I got an error message saying, "No content was found."
Subsequent attempts to add the iMovie .mov files were even less successful. When I try and drag any more home movies to iTunes, nothing happens. The new additions do not show up in iTunes. I try dragging the files to the Movies area of iTunes, a blue frame appears around the area, but when I let go of the files, nothing happens, nothing gets added to my iTunes library.
Can't Apple's iTunes software read files created by Apple's iMovie software?

I get the little box but if I mark the clip, and click okay, the window dissappear and nothing happens. I've underwent somewhat drastic measurements now, I'm currently re-installing iTunes. I can watch all movies, if that's what you mean
After I've re-installed iTunes, it finally works. Thank you all who tried to help me =)

Can't add music to iTunes Library

As the subject states, I am no longer able to add music to my iTunes Library. If I try to add a song, it tells me that I do not have permissions to write to my Music folder. I went to the Music folder's Get Info window, and under Ownership and Permissions, this is what it said:
You can: Read & Write
Details:
Owner: admin (lock is locked)
Access: Read & Write
Group: admin
Access: Read & Write
Others: No Access
By the way, 'admin' is my short name. I have tried repairing my permissions with Disk Utility, but it did not correct anything in my Music folder. I have looked at permissions for other folders, and some say 'staff' as the group. Should I change the group to that? This is becoming very frustrating. If anyone knows what may be going on here, please _do not hesitate_ to tell me.

Have you tried authorizing your computer? In iTunes go up to Store, then Authorize Computer. Type in your user name and password and click "Authorize". You will then get a pop-up window stating if your authorization was successful or not. Hopefully this will give you access to do as you please with your Music Library.

I can only add songs to itunes library, not directly to my ipod.

When I try & add a song to my ipod, nothing happens. I've tried drag & drop, add file...
& in Summary, I have checked Manually manage music & all the other boxes.
Why can't I add songs to my ipod directly?

Okay, never mind. I unchecked the 2nd box. :/ Doh...

Cannot add files to iTunes library on Windows 8

I've recently purchased a new Acer laptop with Windows 8.1 installed and have the most recent version of iTunes installed, but upon loading it, I am unable to add any files. This isn't just with mp3s, but with tones, apps and books.
At first, I thought it may have been because all my files are stored on a NAS drive, but iTunes doesn't even recognise the drive despite it being mapped. Even trying to drag-and-drop the files from my desktop doesn't add them to my library.
I've trawled the internet for a fix for this, but there are none, though I see a lot of Windows 8 users are experiencing the same problems. I have uninstalled and re-installed ALL Apple software and devices multiple times now, to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Note the current version of iTunes has trouble syncing iOS devices if the applications are on a NAS UNC path. Accessing the library/media folder via a mapped drive letter works.

I can't add files into the library!

For some reason i cannot add files or maps in the music library of itunes, when i click "add a file to the library" and i choose a music file(for example .mp3 or .m4a) it just doesn't show in the library so i cannot play anything in this program,
i tried on another laptop with vista and there where no problems at all!!
anyone knows a suggestion?

I'm also having similar problems on my parents Vista machine.
When an audio CD is inserted iTunes recognizes it, but once I try to play a track or import the CD iTunes goes through each track in about 1-2 seconds time, says that its done importing when it hasnt actually done anything. I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded a new fresh copy and the problem keeps happening. I ran the iTunes diagnostics tool on my Optical Drive and everything checks out. I opened up Windows Media Player and was able to rip audio tracks from the cd that way and was able to import the WMP ripped WMAs into iTunes, but this is too many steps for my parents to do (using iTunes alone is almost too many steps).

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.
