Can't import videos into iTunes

Yeah..so maybe I'm just ********, but I cant get any videos onto iTunes. I've tried all the formats, .mpeg and .mov and such, but can't get it. When I choose Import or drag and drop the video into iTunes, nothing happens. I'm lost...

I have the exact same problem. I've tried several differnt ways trying to get 3 different videos in my library but they just wont go. I've been through File > Add file to library, and as well as File > Add folder to library. But when I click on the movie and click Open it does nothing. I have no idea why but it's driving me crazy. Please help me too...

Can't drag videos into itunes

i have movies in mp4 format which is compatible with my ipod but i can't seem to be able to drag those files into my itunes. how can i upload my videos onto my ipod if i can't get them into my itunes?? ): can somebody help me pls?

Well, open your iPod options, choose the Videos tab, and make sure it's set to automatic update. If it already is, right click on the video(s) and choose "Convert Selection for iPod."

ITunes 7.3 - Can't import videos into itunes

I've been trying for a while to import some videos into my iTunes, trying various formats (mv4, mp4 and mov), but none will actually import. I've even tried moving one of my friends movies off a thumbdrive, but that didnt work either.
Can someone please help me? I have no idea how I can fix this, and there are some radiohead videos that I must have on my iPod.

I don't know much about Vista, but the first time I tried to import movies, I had to download a compressor. Grant it that I compressed the whole DVD, but still it worked from the finalized compressed version. Then just import, locate file, and open.

Can't drag videos into itunes 11.1.0

Hi,
i just updated my ios to 7.0.3 & itunes to 11.1 yesterday and now i can't add any videos to my iphone 5 via itunes 11.1.0... what happened was i did a sync on a new computer and of course it wipes my iphone 5 clean of videos & music. so now i have to add the same videos back, but when i drag and drop videos in itunes library, itunes just won't take it. it should not be the format since the vidoes are the same mp4 videos i had on my iphone 5 before. They all played fine. Is this a bug in itunes 11 ? how does one add videos to the itunes library to do a sync. Can anyone help ? This is very frustrating as I've been doing this for the last 2 hrs. As good as Apple is, itunes is just one frustring UI to work with...

Can anyone help ? I'm sure i am not the only one w/ this problem ?

Can't put video into itunes or ipod

Hi,
I did spend some time searching and I tried several things but I can't figure it out. My friend burned me a cd with Wedding Crashers as an .avi file. I used "im too mpeg encoder" to change the file into .mp4, mpeg4. I click and drag it and drop it in my ipod folder on itunes, and nothing happens. I try the same thing except drag it into my library and nothing happens, doesn't even show up. I have clicked on file 'add file' to library and i click on it and nothing happens, and add folder and added the folder it was in. All the files in the folder loaded except the wedding crashers .mp4. If anyone has any suggestions or links to places where this has already been asked and answered I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I need HELP!

Can't open songs into iTunes

Just got a new Dell 13" laptop, transferred all my iTunes songs to HD but iTunes doesn't recognize any of them. I can click on the file and then it plays in iTunes but I have 900 songs which would take me awhile. Is there any simple solution?

Are these iTunes music store purchased songs or tracks you imported from CDs? If the first one, iTMS songs, perhaps your computer lost authorization and you need to reauthorize it? Do they play ok in iTunes still?

Can't import QT compatibile videos into iTunes 6

Here is what it says about importing video into iTunes 6 in the Help menu:
You can also watch other QuickTime-compatible videos (for example, files that end in ".mov" or ".mp4") in iTunes. Drag a video into the iTunes window, as you would any song file. Videos have a display icon next to them in the library.
I have tried everything to get a .mov and a .mp4 movie into iTunes and I can't make it happen. Anyone have any luck with this?
Dave

I assume these files play fine in QuickTime?
Have you tried Add to Library from the File menu (Command O).
If that doesn't work, try a Save As from QT. You should then be able to import the new file fine.
I did notice that changing the extension (from .mov to .mp4 in my case) rendered the video un-importable. You don't get any feedback from iTunes either - it just doesn't work.
Good luck!

Can't Import mp4 video into itunes for my ipod

I have tried to get video onto my ipod but itunes wont let me import video. I have quicktime 7 pro and have exported my video to ipod and to mpeg-4 and i can't import it into itunes to get it on my ipod.
Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

Did you try just to drag&drop the video onto "Library" in iTunes' left "Source"-column?

Can't import videos to iTunes library...

I can't get videos into my iTunes library. I've done it once before, but my computer isn't letting me drag the file from the Movie folder on my computer to the library on iTunes.
Does it make a difference which format the movie is? Because it's .avi, so yeah. I know its got to be a certain format for it to be on the iPod, and you can just click the "convert to AAC" or whatever on the video, but I just can't get it into the library to convert it to the AAC.
Windows XP

Sorry to bust in on this thread but am pretty good with computers but feel like a real idiot here.
I recently downloaded a video and converted it into mpeg-4 using videora which was done successfully. Now I opened Itunes and went onto library where all my songs are and clciked on 'file' and then 'add file to library' and double clicked on the video which said it was mpeg-4 and I cant find it in my library, nor is it listed when I go down and click on videos.
I hope I'm doing something really stupid and missing something. Can anyone help??
Thanks

Cannot upload videos into itunes library!

sorry if this is the wrong place to post or something, but i'm in desperate need of help!
i can't seem to upload any of my own videos into itunes video library. i heard that i'm supposed to drag the file into the library but when i do that it just stays the same and nothing happens. i tried to reformat the video files to MPEG but it still doesn't work.
Can someone please help me?
PS. I'm using Ipod video

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Open Quicktime. Try to open the video through that. Does it open and play in Quicktime?
Also, right click on the video file. Go to properties. What is the file type/kind?
You will most likely need to use a 3rd Party Converter, as iTunes will only accept videos that are compatible with Quicktime.

Cant get official Apple test videos into itunes or any mp4

I am using Apple test video files, I got from apple here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
I cant get any video into iTunes.
When I try to drag the video into my ipod I get a pop up saying
"video name.mp4" was not copied because it cannot be played on this ipod
I tried everything I could find online..
Can someone help?
I am using an IPOD Classic.

The videos that will not play, open them and see if they will play in Quicktime first. Also check this artical out and make sure your video is in the format iTUnes supports http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758
