Can't get iTunes to add a (home) video to the library.

Adding a video to iTunes. "Help" (HA!) says to use Menu/File/Add File to Library or drag and drop, just like an audio file. Neither works for me. If I drag and drop, iTunes will create an empty playlist with the filename of the video; no file, just the name. iTunes v11.0.2.26

MY problem is I can see the vids I've added... I can easily add them to play lists... and when I click on one, I can see it play in iTunes... But, even tho all these vids are in a playlist, only one will play at a time... so, no matter what I do, I can't get the next vid in the playlist to play sequentailly.
Vids I've purchased from Apple work just fine..... go figure.
I SUSPECT this is Apple's way of telling us to forget about home made vids, and ONLY use vids purchased in the iTunes store....

I have a DVD folder (VOB files)that was rip for me. They play correctly though it has the minus icon and the folder empty and I can't get permission to retrieve my home videos files .

I have a DVD folder (VOB files) that was rip for me form my VSH. The DVD play correctly though it has the minus icon on the folder and appears to be empty and I can't get permission to retrieve my home videos files .

You're not dealing with your typical DVD-Video data structure with a SONATA_VOLUME. This type of data structure is designed to prevent someone from extracting the data and it's very effective at doing so. You've probably already found that the applications that allow you to copy, extract and convert the standard DVD-Video data structure (a "VIDEO_TS" volume) will not work with a SONATA_VOLUME (apps like Toast, MactheRipper and Handbrake).
While making a digital copy is pretty much not an option with a SONATA_VOLUME, capturing the video and sound via an analog to digital capture usually works just fine. Of course, that's not nearly as simple as popping the disc into your computer and a drag and drop or just clicking "convert" or "extract" and waiting for the copy or conversion to finish.
Do you have any video hardware for capturing analog video? A MiniDV camcorder will do the trick if your Mac has a FireWire port. You'll also need video capture software. I'd recommend a version of iMovie that supports DV-NTSC, Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.
My Sony DVD recorder creates SONATA_VOLUMES while my Panasonic DVD recorder creates VIDEO_TS folders. The Sony is unplugged and sitting in the corner.

How can I get iTunes to stop trying to connect to the iTunes Store?

So my company decides to cut off my access to the iTunes Store. So I go in to Prefs and turn off all things iTunes Store related. I'm still getting a message saying it can't connect to the iTunes Store. How can I get iTunes to stop trying to connect?

Disable itunes store in preferences.
It's also possible you have some podcast group trying to connect to iTunes if that's their source. Disable podcasts or at least set preferences to check for podcasts manually.

How can I get back all of my family videos from the iTunes monster?

So here's the thing.
Over the past few years I have accumulated a whole heap of home videos as well as movies, TV episodes etc. etc. which has grown and grown to the point where there was no more space on my 60GB hard drive.
So I go out and buy an 80GB video iPod so that I can store the videos on that.
I go through the extremely lengthy (3 days) and frustrating process of converting all my files to mp4 using Videora converter and load them onto iTunes and then onto my new iPod. I then click 'Manually manage songs' in my iPod options so that I could delete the videos from my computer, and have them still on my iPod. This was about a week ago and since then everything has been fine.
When updating my iPod this morning, I manually ejected the ipod once my new music was added, only to find that the ipod now contained NO VIDEOS! As it turns out, the iPod automaticaaly reverted to 'automatcally manage files' without my prompt.
So now whilst I have the files on iTunes, they cannot be found as they have been deleted and they are no longer on my iPod. Is there ANY way that I can get them back? Anything at all? System restore or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you mean apps located in your itunes library then you check the apps you want on the iphoen in the apps tab when you have it connected to computers itunes

Can't get iTunes to move from one song to the next

I'm using iTunes 7.3.1 on an iMac with OS X 10.4.10. Everything was working fine, but now I can't get the playlists to move automatically from one song to the next. All the songs play if I double click on them individually, but when a song is finished playing, iTunes does not move automatically to the next song. I have to then double click on the next song I want to play. Furthermore, neither the "next," nor the "previous" track functions work. I have tried fiddling with the control settings (Repeat Off, Repeat All, Repeat One), but nothing I have tried makes a difference. Bottom line: If I want to sit at my computer and hear a playlist on iTunes, I have to manually click on each song I want to hear. Not too convenient when I want to listen while walking on my treadmill! Anyone suggestions would be appreciated.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - Command-click on any checkbox will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

HT4437 Can't get iTunes and monitor mirroring to work at the same time.

When I turn on my airplay on itunes it turns off the airplay from my monitor. I don't know how I've done it before but I sometimes can't play itunes and have it mirror my screen at the same time so I can use the visualizer. Whenever I turn one on, the other shuts off. I've done it before. Is there a specific sequence you need to run itunes and have the mirroring work too?

You might try a simple headphone splitter like this:

How can I get iTunes 11 to play a video's audio over airplay on my Denon?

It still shows AppleTV, but on the previous iTunes version it would play a video's audio on the Denon through Airplay.

If the Denon shows in airplay mirroring you can just turn on mirroring and get the sound. Otherwise try System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and choose the Denon there. Any system sound will play through the airplay device. I don't know why apple doesn't just give an airplay option from the menu bar sound icon to make this easier.... seems like they are pushing people to mirror

Can I get Itunes 10.6.1 and get the library to be read?

can I get a slightly earlier version that will read the library created by the newer versions?

Well, Genius I'm not. Guess I'll just not use any ipod downloads until they fix this mess. Thanks for your help. Also, just to double check: All of this started when I syncd my calender and contacts and I do I have sync ipod unchecked.

I have this problem as well. The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn'

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

I removed my podcast from iTunes, and now I can't get it back on iTunes. How do I get Itunes to add to the Itunes Store?

When I resubmit my RSS feed, it says it has already been submitted. So I can't get my lisyn podcast back on iTunes. How do I get iTunes to add my iTunes stores? Help Roger Wilmut!
My RSS feed is feed://filmception.libsyn.com//rss

If you go to iTunes and go to file, subscribe to podcast, and put in my libsyn feed
http://filmception.libsyn.com/rss
it will subscibe you to it. And you'll see the artist info is different then my other podcast (three names)
If you go to itunes and go to file, subscribe to podcast, and put in my podomatic feed
http://filmceptionpodcast.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
it will subscribe you to it. And you'll see the artist info (just my name)
Are you saying that iTunes removed my libsyn podcast off the store and not me. And is still available to play, and update episodes. But removed it off the store because podomatic exist?
I've know way of knowing what went on before; but the situation at present is that only the one version is in the Store and it's using the Podomatic feed.
If you try to submit the Libsyn feed that was removed, one way or another, then you will be told it's already been submitted unless you can make sufficient changes to it to make it look like a different podcast. The title is slightly different from the Podomatic feed, and if it's still being rejected then you will have to try to replace the Podomatic feed with the Libsyn feed. This probably means emailing Support as I doubt you can add the redirection tag to the Podomatic feed (though you could try first.)
They might respond to an email request (they've been known to do so in the past) or they might not. I don't know whether Robert would be able to put in a request - he would swing more weight with them - but very likely they will only do it (if at all) for the actual owner, for security reasons.

When you add a WiFi you can't get into any websites??? But if you turn WiFi off you can access websites?
You can access websites without WiFi? Do you have a 3G/4G iPad?

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.
