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.

  • IPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes.

    My iPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes. The error message says that the files were not transfered because they can't be read on my device.  I'm not able to transfer any mp4 files, either.  These are my own short animations, small files (under 2MB). Home sharing is on.  I'm trying to synch with the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  Thanks.

    Yo may have to use a third-party computer program like HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible withthe iPod

  • Can't open .mov files in quicktime anymore

    I can't think of any system changes that I've made recently but a few days ago I was able to open .mov files with quicktime and now I can't. I get the following error when I try to open one. Error -1856: an unknown error occurred (filename.mov) I've uninstalled quicktime, rebooted and reinstalled with no luck. I've searched these forums and googled the error number but can't find anything. Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks.

  • Can't arrange movie files in itunes?

    In itunes, whenever i click on the "movie" file under my iPod Touch's name, the list of all the movies i have in my ipod show up. However, whenever i want to move the files around/organize them, it won't let me move them. It's like the movie files are locked or something?
    However, i can move my music files around fine. It's just the movie files that won't move/arrange /:
    & if this matters, the movie files play fine in my ipod.
    I just need to move/arrange/organize them on itunes... but it won't let me -.-

    Very strange. I use Handbrake exclusively for movie conversion and all tags are editable. I even use iDentify which is a super little app which populates ratings, directors, stars and producers etc in the movie information, together with artwork if required.
    I double checked last night and every single one of the 462 movies converted with Handbrake are editable manually or with iDentify.

  • Can't upload individual files into ITunes.

    I click Add to library and go to a folder. I used to be able to double click on the folder to expand it and add an individual file from within. Now the whole folder gets uploaded. Now to add individual files from a folder, I have to first drag the file elsewhere, like my desktop, and add it to the library from there.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    You can still add individual tracks by selecting add to library, chose folder then track.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • I am trying to upload movies from my itunes to my iphone and it will only upload a select few. Why?

    Help! I am trying to upload movies from my iTunes to my iPhone and it will only upload a select few. Why?

    You are using File->Add File (or Folder) to Library, right?
    Make sure that you also look at the various categories of content stored on the library:  turn on the sidebar (Ctrl+S keys toggle) and click the categories to see if the content shows in the content window of iTunes.
    It could be you are trying to add a video/movie in a format iTunes does not accept because it cannot play it or work with it.  (And yes, if iTunes cannot add it to the library, it should absolutely report an error message rather than leave you wondering and drop the command.)

  • TS1721 can i import movies to my Itunes library

    can I import movies to my Itunes library

    Hi, by default you can only add M4V, MP4 and MOV files. Simply drag and drop them into your library. If you have videos in other file formats (like AVI or MKV) you have two solutions: convert them with a tool like HandBrake. That takes a lot of work and time. Or you use a dedicated tool to import movies in iTunes. I use VideoDrive (www.aroona.net) for this. It will create small references to your videos in iTunes. And it will also add descriptions and covers so they look as nice as officially purchased movies. Keep in mind that if you do not convert the videos, they will not play on iOS devices. VideoDrive (and some others) to support conversions as well. So you always have the choice.
    In my case, I add the videos without conversions so they are nicely categorized in iTunes. And the videos I do want to watch on my iPad, I convert later on. You can do this by selecting a video in iTunes and clicking File -> Create new version. Or use the 'Duplicate Video' feature of VideoDrive. I can imagine that this is overkill if you only have a couple of videos, but if you have a lot, it's great to have them all showing up with artwork in iTunes.

  • Converting MOV file to iTunes file

    On my MacBook Pro, I have been converting MOV files to iTunes files. Suddenly, however, this won't work. I get the following message: Can’t make file "Macintosh HD:private:var:folders:Al:AlJFXwbEEgqKI3EA0xH26
    TI:-Tmp- How can I fix this?

    With the MOV file on my desktop, I click it open, then click on the icon that is a square with an arrow coming out of it.  This gives me the option to convert the file so it can be viewable on iTunes, Mobile me gallery, or Youtube. If I chose iTunes, previous MOV files I have converted this way appear to have been converted to m4v files for iPhone or iPod.
    Now when I click on the iTunes option, I get the "Can't make file" message.

  • Every time I try to upload MOV files from my iphone 5s onto my adobe premiere elements on windows 8 i get 'the importer reported a generic error'

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Windows 8.1 64 bit? For now I will assume Premiere Elements 12 in a NTSC set up.
    Your iPhone 5s video is expected to be 1080p @ 30 progressive frames per second? Do you confirm that? Because of the source of your video, it is highly likely that you are dealing with a variable frame rate.
    Please give the following a try to see if you then have an "importable" product to take into Premiere Elements presumed 12/12.1.
    Download and install the free HandBrake program.
    http://handbrake.fr/
    Import your video file into the program.
    Make sure you browse to and set Destination (suggested Desktop location)
    Go to the Video Tab and set
    Video codec = H.264 (x264)
    Frame Rate = 29.97
    put a dot next to Constant for the Frame Rate
    Click on the Start at the top left of the workspace
    Wait for the "Queue Finished" to appear in the progress bar at the bottom left of the workspace.
    Then see if this H.264.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second file can be imported into Premiere Elements 12 project with a manually set project preset of NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DLSR 1080p30@ 29.97.
    Details for setting manual project preset can be found in
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    The details that I have posted in this reply are customized for Premiere Elements and should work fine for you.
    We will be watching for your results.

    How can I upload movies from Sony pj580v camcorder to use with imovie 11?

    Transfer it to your computer and import into iTunes, make sure it's in a compatible format. Then simply sync with the iPad. If you have a camera connection kit and you know the footage is compatible you can connect it directly.
