Can't Import CD to iTunes 8

I haven't seen this particular issue detailed yet. When I attempt to import a CD to the new itunes I get an error telling me I don't have sufficient permissions to write to my music folder. The dialogue box indicates that I should check my Music folder's permissions.
I did that. Set them at the top level for myself to read and write and set them to work for enclosed folders as well....no dice.
I have a Time Capsule and the backup of my old library files. Should I just uninstall iTunes 8.0 restore my old library. Where can I find the previous version?

Hi Christopher;
Yes, I actually did try to repair the permissions. I've ended up migrating my Library back into my music folder and now can't share it.
I'm hoping to fix this by mounting both my iTunes library and iPhoto in my Time machine and setting it to ignore permissions.
The last set of updates was a doozy. iTunes, iPhoto, and (you guessed it) TIme Machine all giving me trouble since.

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.

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

Can't Import Songs To iTunes Using Apple Lossless Encoder

I have about 4,000 songs in FLAC format (which is a lossless format) on my external hard drive. I want to import them into iTunes using the Apple Lossless Encoder. I called Apple support and asked them how to do this, and they told me to go under "Preferences" in iTunes and chose to import using Apple Lossless Encoder.
I did this using Preferences>General>Import Settings, and then went to File>Add Folder to Library, however, it still imported my songs as AAC Audio Files. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

iTunes cannot read nor import FLAC files - not without third-party plugins, anyway, and I don't know of any that will allow iTunes to convert a FLAC file to another format - so I'm a bit confused as to the procedure you're following. If all you're doing is using the Add to Library command and choosing the FLAC files, it's quite possible that iTunes is misinterpreting the format and adding what is in reality an invalid link with erroneous format information.
If you have some sort of third-party plugin for FLAC for iTunes, please post that information and perhaps someone here can determine whether iTunes can do a conversion successfully.

Can't import videos to iTunes!??

I've been trying to import videos to itunes and for some reason they just won't go in! I have tried dvdrips and already converted to mp4 files on my harddrive, i've even downloaded the sample movie from the apple website to try and import that.
When i go to import in the fille menu, find the file and click choose absolutely nothing happens. the finder window closes and thats it. the same happens for add to library function. i have the most up to date version of itunes and my brother has the same mac ipod and itunes version and can do it just fine exactly the same way as i am trying. pretty frustrating can anyone help?? pleases?

Have you tried using the Finder? Just drag the video files onto Library in the sidebar. iTunes can be unresponsive - don't drop the files until Library (or Movies) turns blue and you see a green dot with a plus sign on your cursor.
Once your movies are in iTunes, you can convert them to iPod format. Select the movie under Movies, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to iPod.

Can't import songs to iTunes from CD

I have the same "popular" problem. I can't rip music from a cd directly to iTunes. iTunes doesn't see the cd on the cd rom drive. When I manually open the cd on iTunes through "my computer" than all it lists is track numbers. It is also not able to connect to the internet to get the titles, even though my internet connection is fine.
I am able to rip the cd's by using windows media player, no problem. Then I can import them to iTunes from there, no problem!
All my hardware drivers etc. are updated with their latest versions. It really seems like an iTunes compatibility issue. I can't beleive Apple is not aware of this problem and hasn't done anything about it!!
Here is my cd diagnostics data, maybe "toonz" or another samaritan can help!! Pleeaaasse it' very annoying. Thanks in advance!!!

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Are these CDs you burned yourself or are the commercial CDs? To get the information on commercial CDs, iTunes connects to an online database so make sure you are connected to the internet when you import. You also have to be connected to use the "Get CD track names" function. If you made the CDs then the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand: See if this helps explain things a bit better than I have: How iTunes remembers Audio CDs

I can not import files into Itunes.

I can not import my music and video files from the my documents folder to Itunes. When I try the file will not show up in Itunes.

Could you give us a little more specific information as to the source & format of these files? Those 2 things might be causing the problem.

Can't import artwork from iTunes

After loading my two music CDs onto my music library, I cannot import the artwork from iTunes stores

To have iTunes automatically download album artwork when you import a CD or add songs with missing artwork, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Store, and select “Automatically download missing album artwork.”
If you've done that, and you still can't get the artwork, the CD may not be available at the iTunes store. You can use Amazon.com to get artwork. Look up the CD at Amazon, click the artwork to display large size and drag it to your desktop. Then you can add it to your iTunes library.
To add artwork to one item, select an item in your iTunes library and drag the art file to the artwork viewer.
To add artwork to multiple items, select an item, choose File > Get Info, and click Artwork. To add art to the selected item, click Add (or drag the art file from your desktop to the artwork viewer). Click Next to add artwork to the next item.
To add the same artwork to multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click each item, choose File > Get Info, click Artwork, and drag the art file to the artwork viewer.
To add more than one piece of art to a song, drag more than one image to the same artwork box.

Can't import music to iTunes

This is something that recently started happening. I record a radio show with Audio Hijack pro. I import it to iTunes and it plays fine. I then find a small selection that I'd like to edit and keep. I open Fission and do my editing and save it. It saves under the name I assign it. I try to import the new file to iTunes and it doesn't load in to iTunes because the tag is still the same as the original file. I found this out when I used Finder to "Get Info." I changed the tagged name of the original file that is still residing in iTunes and then tried importing the new file to iTunes again. No go. I then double clicked the file in Finder to get it to play in iTunes. It played, but strangely enough, it didn't appear in the Music Library, but it did appear in the "Recently Added" section of the iTunes window. I used that appearance to change the Tags completely. I checked the "Music Library" after that, but the selection still did not appear. I tried dragging it from "Recently Added" to the Library, but it didn't work. I also tried dragging it to my iPod, but that didn't appear to work either.
I then tried a work-around and created a playlist with that selection and another selection and dragged that playlist over to the 'pod. The selection appeared on the 'pod, but only within the playlist, not the 'pods music library. I could play the new selection only via the playlist. It is still invisible to iTunes.
Does anyone have any idea why this should be? Am I missing a step in in the editing process? Could this be tag related and is there a way to edit the tags prior to importing to iTunes?

I too was having this problem, importing files to my iTunes. These were songs that I had on CD and had ripped. The first problem was that they were in .WAV format. I converted the files to .m4a (I also tried .mp3) and I still couldn't import. I put the files in a folder named after the album, nested in another folder named after the band in the iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder. (For example, The Doors/L.A. Woman) but then when I went to import the files into my iTunes library, like the above poster, absolutely nothing would happen, no error messages or anything. But I noticed the folders I had previous created, The Doors/ L.A. Woman, where gone. Finally I realized that because my files were not tagged with the Artist or Album iTunes was moving the files to a folder called Unknown Artist/Unknown Album, under the iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder. Unknown Artist doesn't show up in the iTunes artist list.
What I did to fix this, was to play the song, in iTunes, right click on it and select "get info". Once the song is tagged properly with the Artist and Album, it will show up in the iTunes library AND it will actually create folders with the Artist and Album, on your hard drive, under iTunes/iTunes Media/Music AND move the song to this folder. There's probably a lot of other ways to tag the files, such as from the Recently Added playlist, by making a new playlist for the album or external software. I hope this helps someone from stratching their head as much as I was!

Can't import songs into itunes library...

For some reason it isn't working. I took a couple of songs off my ipod via ephpod and i tried opening them using the import function in itunes. I open it, but the songs aren't added into the library at all. Maybe it might be the file format? Anyone have anyway to convert the songs into the accepted format?

Yep,
I have been having the exact same problem now for over a year. First, it was like six hundred songs--wouldnt play on my ipod and then wouldnt add into my itunes library. It happened to correspond with an update of itunes and the ipod firmware. It has only gotten worse and now I am in fear of updating anything further. I have been looking for answers to this problem for a long time, if you happen to get an answer that works would you let me know about it too?
Thanks!

Can't import CD into ITunes - Windows 7 error

Tried to import CD into Itunes on VAIO laptop, using Windows 7. Get the following message "Itunes has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Have no problem importing on another computer using Windows 2000. Very frustrating. Any suggestions?

First we should check the precise version number of your iTunes. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
Do you have a version 10.1.0.54 ? If so, upgrade to a higher version as per the following document:
[iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

Can't import music from iTunes! Please help.

We installed Yosemite, updated iMovie and iTunes. When we attempt to import music from iTunes into iMovie for a project by clicking on iTunes in the "Content Library," nothing shows up in the window that says, "The contents of your iTunes Library will appear here."
Cannot figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx

Did you manage to get this sorted. I am trying to import music from iTunes in to iMovie, but it won't allow?!

Can't import songs from iTunes to my iPod

I'm not sure if I have a problem with iTunes or my iPod, but I'll try this forum anyway. I already asked this under the iTunes category.
Basically, there's a sudden problem where, for the life of me, my iPod will not accept new music. It shows up fine under "Devices" in iTunes and I can import music from a CD in iTunes (which is almost exclusively how I import music). I normally highlight the songs from my library I want to import and I drag them to my iPod icon under "Devices".
I've tried moving the lock switch on and off, clicking the "sync" button, and looking up features in Preferences, but I can't seem to find what to do.
Oh, and I also can't add album artwork to songs already on my iPod.

Hello Organs,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Since it sounds like you are trying to manually manage your iPod's contents, make sure you have the *Manually manage music and videos* option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.
Otherwise what happens when you do try to drag music over to it? Do you get a red circle with a line through it or anything at all?
Oh, and I also can't add album artwork to songs already on my iPod.
If you manually manage your iPod's contents, you'll need to manually remove these songs from under your iPod via iTunes and drag the new copy with the artwork back over to it. Yes, very tedious, but that's what manually syncing is all about.
