Can`t movies files into iTunes

Hi,
I am trying to move movies files into the iTunes library by dragging them and without success.
I have tried to add the files with the file menu with the same results.
Using iTunes 10.5
Can anyone help me with this?
thanks,
Amnon

Itunes only accepts MP4, M4V and MOV formats.  You will have to get a third party Video converter to convert AVI to Apple format.

  • Can't drag files into itunes from computer folder.

    Im running windows 7 64bit, with the newest version of itunes:10.2.2.14.  I can't drag files from my "music folder" which is in my documents into itunes anymore.  I used to be able to do this with my old computer running windows 7 32bit, and even on windows vista, but it doesn't seem to work for me now. is there a setting that i can change? or mess around with something to fix this problem?

    Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
    Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
    I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to?

  • Can't move files into folders more than one time.

    I'm having a strange problem.  If I try and drag a file into a folder then it will allow me to do that, but only once.  If I try to drag another file into the same folder then it is locked.  I can drag it into a different folder, but the same thing happens, I can move a file into the new folder but not a 2nd file, but it is locked.  I have to restart to "unlock" these folders, but the same things happens over and over again.  I can move a single file into a folder, but after that it locks up and I have to restart.
    Any ideas why this is happening?  It only happens in bridge, I'm able to move files freely in Finder.
    Thanks!

    I can't find a permission setting that would only allow a single file to be moved to a folder
    Don't know if you already tried but use a check and repair permissions on your Mac using either Apple Disk Utility (applications / utilities) or a third party like Cocktail.
    If still the same happens restart bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences.
    When the problem still exist please provide more details about OS and Bridge versions as well as computer specs.

  • 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 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.

  • OS Lion: Can't drag attachments into Mail message, Can't drag files into Trash

    Dragging an attachment into a Mail causes a crash adn I have to force quit. I can attach files via the menu, but keep forgetting and have to keep force quitting.
    Also (probably not connected), I can't move files into the Trash... Just get a Moving "xxxx" to "Trash" dialog and the progress bar never changes...
    Have created a new User and the problem persists.
    Any ideas?

    Boot up holding command-r keys into Lion Recovery Volume. Reinstall Lion and it will "install in place" so none of your own data or settings should be effected.

  • I have imported a Zip file, mp3 music to desktop. How do I move it into iTunes?? I have tried drag/drop, import to library, both without success. Can anyone help, please.

    I have imported a Zip files, mp3 music to my Desktop. How do I move it into iTunes. I have tried d/drop and also Import to Library without success. Can anyone help, please?

    Many thanks to Limnos and King Penguin.
    I have discovered! I needed software to Unzip and was directed to Stuffit from the App Store. Suddenly it is simple.
    Download Zip File to Desktop.
    rt>  Zip        >Open with.....     >Stuffit     Progress Bar: 'Expanding' follows. Then a blue folder (manilla) returns to Desktop.
    Open iTunes     >File     >Import to Library      From drop down select  the now expanded contents of Zip file, then     >OPEN    
    iTunes takes over and imports -  Job's Done!! 
    Thanks again

  • How can I import my home movies (.dv) into iTunes?

    I'm getting frustrated with the lack of information about converting movies with all the recent upgrades. I have many short home movies in a variety of formats (.dv, .mov. Mp4, etc) - how in the world can I get them into iTunes (and ultimately on my iPad) so I can share them? It looks like Quicktime Pro is no more and Quicktime 10 is grayed out under all the share options? I'm at a loss - do I need to go back to the original iMovie files and save as something else??? Thanks much!
    Everything I have is the most recent, most up-to-date version you can have. Quicktime, iTunes, OS, iOS, etc - it's ALL the most recent version. Running a iMac G5 and iPad2.

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPad

    Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPAd.  I tried dragging from desktop and nothing happens, also tried adding file or folder to library and nothing happens.

    Convert your movie to quicktime or another format iTunes can play.
    If you can add it and play it in iTunes, it will also work on the iPad.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

    If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
    This is great.  I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad.  If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy.  I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer. 
    I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad.  I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
    Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

    I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad.  But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad?  I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud.  I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
    I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be. 

  • Can't import mov files into Final Cut Pro

    I can't seem to import some .mov files into FCP.  The codecs showing in "info" for the files are DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode.  I have other files which I can import into FCP and they show the exact same codecs in their info page.  I have no trouble opening either in Quicktime.

    What is the origin of these files?  You may want to use QT or Compressor to re-encode them to the same codec.  Possbily they are very old QT versions.  But yes, where did they originate from?

  • TS1717 I can play audio files in iTunes but I can't play downloaded tv shows or movies.  Everytime I attempt to play them, iTunes stops working and closes.

    I can play audio files in iTunes but I can't play downloaded tv shows or movies.  Everytime I try to play them, iTunes stops working and closes.  Any information will help.

    Is QuickTime installed? If not it might help to install it.
    If so is Direct3D Video Acceleration enabled? If so it might help to disable.
