  • Cannot add folder to Library

    HP6120 Windows XP Pro
    I used Winamp and have a Library of a view thausends songs. A view days ago I installed iTunes because I planned to buy an Ipod 80GB.
    I used the add folder to Library function and added the My Music folder to the library. Everything went well, but I noticed, that the number of songs was essentially lower than expected, because my ogg files were not taken into the library.
    Therefore transformed the ogg-files to mp3-files.
    I deleted all songs in my iTunes-library and tried to add the My Music Folder again to the library but now it stopps after a view songs with an error. The last song and the following songs are songs which have been accepted by the first run. (By the way - Winamp accepted all transformed files without any problems)
    To solve the Problem I uninstalled and installed iTunes 7.018 a view times. I deleted the library folder. Restarted the computer again and again but the result was allways the same and the described failure came up.
    I do really not know, how to solve the problem. I am not shure whether I will buy the Ipod as long as iTunes will not run properly. In the forum was the same failure described which came up after deleting of songs from the library.

    FYI, I can work around this issue by browsing to any folder on another drive, "adding" it (even if it contains no music), then browsing the drive that has my music on it. I don't consider this a solution, but at least I can add my tunes now.

  • Cannot Add Folder

    Tried adding folder to iTunes - nothing happened. Nothing at all. Downloaded new version of iTunes (8.0.2.20). Still can't Add Folder. Can't drag and drop either.
    ANy thoughts anyone?

    iTunes 8 has gotten really picky about MP3 ID3 tags. If it doesn't loke the tags, it won't add the file to the library.
    See if MP3 Validator thinks the tags are OK:http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html
    Here is a good background article on that:

  • HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

    I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
    In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow?  In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
    Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

  • I created a News folder but cannot add The Washington Post--I can add other Web sites

    I created a "News" folder. I cannot add "The Washington Post" to the folder. I have no trouble adding other Web pages to the folder.

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Cannot add multiple members of a failover cluster to a DFSR replication group

    Server 2012 RTM. I have two physical servers, in two separate data centers 35 miles apart, with a GbE link over metro fibre between them. Both have a large (10TB+) local RAID storage arrays, but given the physical separation there is no physical shared storage.
    The hosts need to be in a Windows failover cluster (WSFC), so that I can run high-availability VMs and SQL Availability Groups across these two hosts for HA and DR. VM and SQL app data storage is using a SOFS (scale out file server) network share on separate
    servers.
    I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate multi-TB user data file folders between the two local storage arrays on these two hosts for HA and DR. But when I try to add the second server to a DFSR replication group, I get the error:
    The specified member is part of a failover cluster that is already a member of the replication group. You cannot add multiple members for the same cluster to a replication group.
    I'm not clear why this has to be a restriction. I need to be able to replicate files somehow for HA & DR of the 10TB+ of file storage. I can't use a clustered file server for file storage, as I don't have any shared storage on these two servers. Likewise
    I can't run a HA single DFSR target for the same reason (no shared storage) - and in any case, this doesn't solve the problem of replicating files between the two hosts for HA & DR. DFSR is the solution for replicating files storage across servers with
    non-shared storage.
    Why would there be a restriction against using DFSR between multiple hosts in a cluster, so long as you are not trying to replicate folders in a shared storage target accessible to both hosts (which would obviously be a problem)? So long as you are not replicating
    folders in c:\ClusterStorage, there should be no conflict. 
    Is there a workaround or alternative solution?

    Yes, I read that series. But it doesn't address the issue. The article is about making a DFSR target highly available. That won't help me here.
    I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate files between two different servers, with those servers being in a WSFC for the purpose of providing other clustered services (Hyper-V, SQL availability groups, etc.). DFSR should not interfere with this, but it
    is being blocked between nodes in the same WSFC for a reason that is not clear to me.
    This is a valid use case and I can't see an alternative solution in the case where you only have two physical servers. Windows needs to be able to provide HA, DR, and replication of everything - VMs, SQL, and file folders. But it seems that this artificial
    barrier is causing us to need to choose either clustered services or DFSR between nodes. But I can't see any rationale to block DFSR between cluster nodes - especially those without shared storage.
    Perhaps this blanket block should be changed to a more selective block at the DFSR folder level, not the node level.

  • Folder path "My Tunes" contains an invalid character.

    When trying to install the latest version of ITunes I get the message "the folder path My Tunes contains an invalid character. I click ok and then it says try again later, but later is always the same. I've tried to delete the whole thing to start from scratch but it won't let me. Something got messed up when I put the program into an external hard drive. What should I do next?

    "The folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside "My Music" folder.
    okay ... the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • New Firefox does not allow me to add attitional bookmarks. I can delete but I cannot add a new site or sites. Do you have an instant fix for the problem?

    I have xp and have always been able to use bookmarks. The new Firefox allows me to go to a site with bookmarks, delete bookmarks, but I cannot add a bookmark by clicking on the star.
    Also, Ebay's pages have smaller print (and pictures) than they should have - Google has the correct print and picture size. There is something wrong with Firefox.

  • Add Folder to Library - No dialog box to select folder

    Hi,
    I wanted to designate a specific folder as the folder where iTunes / my iPhone should import music from. I want to limit iTunes to a specific folder as do not want comingle my Zune data as I have 100 gig of music which will not fit on my 32G 3GS.
    When I click on File-->Add Folder To Library, I don’t get the expected dialog from where I can select the folder.
    I can see from iTunes that its windows dims, meaning that another dialog has the focus however I cannot see this dialog window.
    When I click on iTunes at this time, I get a beep and Browse For Folder outline / dialog flashes on the screen, but it is blank and I can just see the form caption in the top left.
    Hitting ESC returns me to iTunes.
    I am however able to do a file selection File-->Add File To Library without any problems.
    Seems iTunes is a little buggy.
    Any suggestions?

    Here is maybe another clue.
    Whenever any dialog message pops up (got a warning that some .MOV file would not be copied for some reason or another) I hit alt tab and changed to another applications. When I returned to iTunes the dialog had disappeared.
    Again, the focus is not on the main iTunes application window and I can not interact with iTunes. Once I hit escape (which dismisses the dialog) control returns to the iTunes application and I can use it again.
    Just to test, I changed my screen res to 1024 x 768 (I normally run 1920 x 1080) to see if iTunes dislikes my resolution. Same problems....
    Any help much appreciated as I would like to get some music on my iPhone 3GS.
    Thanks
    André

When I go to add to librabry and select the itunes folder with all the music nothing happens. Even if i try one song folder at a time nothing happens.

  • Cannot add movies to itunes11

    After upgrading to itunes11 I cannot add movies to the movie folder in itunes. They show up in Home Videos with the columns of songs. I can see them in the Genres folder but not in movies and unwatched. They play without problems from home videos.

    Easy.  Go in to 'Home Videos'.
    Right-click the movie you want to move and then select 'Get info'.  Once done, go to the 'Options' tab.  Then open the drop-down menu (which will show 'Home Video').  Select Movie from the list and then click 'Ok'.
    Your Movie will be moved to its correct home!
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5 / itunes for mac

    Does anyone know why one cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5. When I drag a playlist to a folder on my "Devices" on my iMac in itunes 10 it does not show up on my phone after it syncs. I should note that I currently have 3 folders with playlists which show up on my iphone but I believe these were generated when I first Automatically Synced Music before I switched to Manually Manage Music

    Also can this be done for photos?

  • Cannot add to favorites

    Using IE11 with Win7 64 bit.  Cannot add a page to favorites.  Cannot import or export either.  When I try to import or export I get to the window that says" Import/Export Settings"  "Select the folder that you want to
    export your favorites from" the window is empty.  Also happens with Import favorites.  Window is blank, no folders to choose.  It's like Favorites is lost or disconnected.
    Mike

    Cannot add a page to favorites.
    So the designed UI is broken.  As a workaround can you drag a URL from the Address bar to the Favorites subfolder that you would have used the UI for?  Note that there are two cases to test:  Ctrl-Shift-I  and having a Windows Explorer
    window open at shell:Favorites (or a subfolder of it).  E.g. you could have the Favorites folder open in Fullscreen mode open as a background window for a normal mode window and quickly drag wherever you leave a bit of the WE window showing under an IE
    window (open in normal mode of course).

    Error while detecting start profile for instance with ID _s.
    Looks like the problem is above 1
    Do the following. This should resolve the issues.
    1. If your dialog instance are also having the Java stack then do one thing move your profile folder to some other name and create a new profile folder with the name "profile".
    Copy only the central instance profiles Default, Instance and start profile.
    Then give a try.
    2. If you do not have the java instance in Dialog instance still do the same thing what I have described. move the current profile folder and create the new folder with the name "profile" and copy the profiles Default, Instance and start profile.
    Chances are the JSPM is reading some other profile while starting the JSPM.
