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 not add movie to itune

Hi,
I just set up new itunes for ipod touch but i just can not add movie file (mp4) to library in itunes. Please help! Thanks so much!

Make sure you're looking for it in the Movies or TV Shows libraries, or do a search for it by name.
Did you check if the format is compatible with iTunes (QuickTime plays more formats if you have add-ons)?
"but when I open that file with itunes"
This statement confuses me as your point 1/ says you can't find it in iTunes.

How do I Play videos from external hard drive on Apple TV2? Can I just move the iTunes Library to the External Hard Drive?

I have several HD videos stored on an external hard drive and would like to bring them into iTunes and play them via iTunes on my Apple TV2, but I am not sure how to go about it. I don't want to store the movies on my iMac hard drive because it would eat up to much space...so do I just move the iTunes Library to the external hard drive? And, if so...will the Apple TV2 find the iTunes Library on the external hard drive? Thanks for any help anyone can suggest.

iTunes content on an external drive isn't a problem.
The simplest method is to just move your library to an external drive.
If you wanted to keep just movies on an external drive, that's a little more difficult. You'd need to put the movies where you want them to reside on the external drive and add drag and drop them onto iTunes while holding down the option key. Obviously any movies already in iTunes would need moving from their current location and removing from iTunes first.

Can I safely move my iTunes library to an external hard drive, to free up memory?

As an elementary music teacher, I have more than 10,000 songs in my iTunes library.
I also have a lot of video footage of my students' performances.
I need to free up memory and am wondering if there is a safe way to move the iTunes library to an external hard drive, and, if it is safe, how difficult will it be for me to access it from the external hard drive.
On my school computer, one of the "techies" moved that iTunes library to an external drive and ended up quadrupling the size of it, so want to be sure that if this makes sense, that I do it the right way!!!
Thanks so much!

Can I move those songs to an external hard drive?
yes.
Will that improve the speed of my computer?
maybe. what is the total capacity of your boot drive and how much free space is left ?

Cannot add movies in itunes library and in itouch X_X

I bought my first itouch... anyway this my problem i can add photots,musics,pdf etc but for some reason i cannot add movies in library. i already convert mp4 formats and i download the best converters available but it still can't add in the library no warning signs it doesn't really shows. and whenever i sync it in my itouch there is no movie find... guys help me.

I do not like having them seperate like this. I wish they kept movies as all movies vs seperating it out like this! If you change to list view in 11 as well you will all the movies regardless of the category they are assigned to. I like the overall look and feel of the new iTunes but do not like this option. IMO "Movies" should show all and if you want to drill out different "categories" that option is still there.
Anyways, thanks for the tip all...I had one movie imported like seven times until I was able to locate it LOL. I am surprised that I was never asked if I wanted to replace the existing file.

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.

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.

Why can't I move my iTunes library and run iTunes from an external hard drive?

I've been having issues with space on my Macbook pro, so I wish to move my music in order to free up more space. I have been following the instructions on how to run iTunes from an external drive, but each time I attempt it only the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder copies to my drive - which has nothing in it.
What is going on?

Which exact set of instructions? Just about all of them are wrong, even the ones that specifically say how to move your library.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

Can't transfer movie from itunes library onto ipod

I recently downloaded a movie from itunes onto my laptop. When I tried to manually drag the movie from the library to my ipod i got the following message" The ipod is currently linked to another itunes library. In order to copy the movie to this ipod, you must link this ipod with this itunes library. Doing this will remove 24 tv shows from this ipod. How can I get the movie onto my ipod without erasing the tv shows?

Make sure "Manually manage Music and videos" box is checked under Summary tab.
If the box is already checked and you are still not able to drag it over, highlight the video in movie library and go to iTunes menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version". Drag the newly created version over.

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.

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...
