Can't add m4a files in itunes

When I try to add m4a files in itunes it did not add it. Please help how can I add m4a files in itunes.

Further info: my housemate just drop-boxed (mac to mac) a few of his albums that work fine in his iTunes and the same thing, they'll show in a playlist with their correct details but not in the main library. iTunes is definitely processing after I add them, and they are definitely not corrupt (shown MP3 scan +repair) - I've attached a couple of pictures to clarify.
Please help! I'm a bit OCB about my music being organised correctly I'll admit!

I can't add music files to iTunes

Since 10.4 I can't add music files to iTunes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
iTunes seems to scan and add them in gray, but fails to add the files to iTunes.
My exact problem is described over here: http://www.betalogue.com/2011/07/25/itunes104-addingfiles/
Any ideas?

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
Go ▹ Computer
from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section?

I can't add m4r files to itunes.

I tried adding several ways - drag and drop; import; copying file to itunes folders, including auto add folder; etc. Nothing works. It shows a plus sign and acts like it's about to add it, but it doesn't show up. I can play the file, just can't add it. I shortened it to 29 seconds. I tried editing the info to fill in the artist etc, but I am unable to access those fields. I can see them, just can't type in them. I tried adding someone elses m4r file and it did the same thing. How do I get this to work?
Thanks.

Oops sorry! It's actually rather complicated... got the steps above from number 3 wrong.
Restart >>
Full correct steps should be like this :
1) Select a favourite song in iTunes to be made into Ringtone.
2) Get Info on that song and make any 0:30 seconds portion of that song.
(specify Start & Stop time to 30-seconds long and click OK)
3) Right-click or Ctrl-Click again on same song and select "Create AAC Version"
(when done iTunes will create a Chime)
4) to locate the created m4a file easily, Ctrl-Click again on same song and select "Show in Finder"
(iTunes will automatically point the location of the original mp3 & the newly created m4a files)
5) change the m4a file to m4r as suggested...
(rename to whatever you like but must change the extension to .m4r)
6) At this point, the m4r(original) file isn't a "Ringtone" file yet... which we'll need to change now)
(check under "Get Info" – "Kind" : it's still "Apple MPEG-4 Audio")
1st by dragging that newly changed m4r(original) file to somewhere out of that same default folder it was created by iTunes...
{ this is where most confusions occur, take note here, it gets rather complicated }
7) Once it's outside of that folder, Double Click the m4r(original) file and iTunes will play
(u can stop it immediately...) this is just to let iTunes automatically convert that m4r(ori) file into a new duplicate and places it inside the initial default folder where the original mp3 file is kept.
8) Locate that duplicate m4r(new & true) file, in the same mp3 folder and now DUPLICATE-Drag (press Option while dragging to get the "+" sign) it to the "TONES" folder in your default apple folder structure. (check that under Get Info, your new m4r File's "Kind" should be "Ringtone")
//to get to that "TONES" Folder : First Locate your iTunes default music folder --> usually in your Default "MUSIC" folder --> Navigate to "iTunes Media" --> Navigate to "Tones".
Keep this window open to make the transfer manually.
9) Once your duplicate is inside the "Tones" folder, double-click on that duplicate m4r(true) file and let iTunes play, it should automatically place that bloodycomplicated file into the "Ringtone" sidebar List in iTunes program (check program to see)
10) There you go. Now you can Sync / Delete / Add the whole Ringtone contents to your iPhone as you wish. //Don't forget to set SYNC on the iphone to iTunes under "Tones" tab in your iTunes - iPhone screen... and click SYNC button & wait for the magic.
( Finally you can check inside your iPhone "Sounds" settings and hopefully if all steps done correctly, the bloodycomplicatedringtone selection will be there. Enjoy!

Can't add mp3 files to ITunes

Would really appreciate some help as I'm about to go crazy!
When I'm trying to add new albums to iTunes they just won't stay in the library. They are mp3 format, not corrupted, not appearing at all. They seem to be uploading as usual after I drag the file into iTunes, but just don't appear in my library thereafter. I have checked several times and they are definitely not there, tried adding files individually, also tried converting them to other iTunes compatible formats- nothing.
Please help, I've got all this great music that won't stay put!

Why can't I add mp3 files to itunes?

I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 I've been able to add mp3 files to iTunes by going to file-->add folder to library-->and selecting My Music. I have 5,000+ mp3 files in that folder that USED to play fine on itunes, but they don't show up! I can still play a song by double clicking, but it doesn't stay in my iTunes library. Any ideas? Or is this just a really annoying bug?

I'm having this problem too. Not with all mp3 files, just some. But this particular file I can't even double click to listen.......
Hope you get a reply!

Can't upload .mov files to iTunes anymore

Hi! I don't know if this just started when I upgraded to Lion and did all of the recent updates to iTunes, and added iCloud, etc, but suddenly I can't drag .mov files into iTunes like I used to be able to do. I can't add them with the Add To Library menu either. Because of this I can't put them on my iPad. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? TIA!

Actually, I can't open anything in quicktime anymore. I've tried opening avis, mov, mp4 and m4a files... all give the same error message and number. I've reinstalled both qt and itunes but no luck.

Can't add any file

Hello.
i can't add any file to my itunes.when i wanted add a music,folder or file to my library,itunes crashed And i get the error message "iTunes has stopped working" and the only option I have is to close the program. I looked around the Apple suppport site and did everything they recommended. Like:uninstalling iTunes,Apple Software Update,adding the path and disconnecting internet.I get the newest version of itunes But nothing, I still can't add a file.unfortunately i should restore my iPhone but i can't add thr firmware. I have the same problem with itools and ifunbox.I am using Windows 7.
What should i do?
Thank you for reading

read iM08's manual..
drag'n drop isn't supported in iM08 ..
follow the 'Import...' routine ..
note: iM08 is meant for camcorders (and similiar devices), not a 'all kind of video-files'..

I am not able to add mp4 files to itunes library

None of the answers provided is the correct one.
The correct one is: reinstall quicktime and it will work

I Have been using, Ipad for only around a month or so (Ipad 2), and it was only yesterday that i tried to use the Itunes. I first downloaded the latest itunes (10.7.0.21), and took backup of all my Ipad data.
After this, I wanted to add some video to my ipad, as it was essential to add the same to My itunes first, I roceeded to do just that. I went through this command {File - Add File to Library}, and then went on to select the Video file. There's just a flicker, and then nothing happens at all - the itune screen remains, and there is no error message too. Whereas, I can easily add Audio Files.
After this, I even downaload the latest Quick time (7.7.2), as I had read somewhere that the same is necessary. When I tried to open the Video file in Quick time, it did not open. After that I downloaded the codec DivX and DivX player. Though the Video plays in DivX, it refuses to open in Itune and does not play properly in Quicktime (slider moves, but sound and video is not there).
Frankly, I am utterly confused.

When I add m3u files to itunes it crashes mac

When i add m3u files to itunes 11 it crashes and i'm forced to force quit. Would realy appreciate help as i have lots of files to add and some folders contain m3u files as well as mp3 and mp4 files.

Well, you can send a report to Apple and ask them to fix iTunes. Then sit back and wait... and wait... and wait, and maybe in a version or two they will look at the issue (or maybe not) because .m3u isn't something in daily use with iTunes so it probably isn't a high priority (posts by only 3 people in almost 2 months). Or you can remove the m3u files or look at them more closely and see if there is something about them causing this. I use an old iTunes (version 7.5) and adding .m3u is annoying but not calamatous so maybe the issue is something new. It usually is just a file pointing to the files I just added anyway so if I did so by dragging to a playlist it can generate duplicates. If I catch onto them first I trash them.

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.
