Cannot add movie to itunes

Why can I not add movies to itunes? Anyone?

mv4? The correct extension is .m4v or .mp4
iTunes is selective about formats it will play.
On the PC do you have "copy to library" selected in iTunes preferences. I don't know if that is the issue but it might be since these are on read-only media.

Cannot add movies in itunes library and in itouch X_X

I bought my first itouch... anyway this my problem i can add photots,musics,pdf etc but for some reason i cannot add movies in library. i already convert mp4 formats and i download the best converters available but it still can't add in the library no warning signs it doesn't really shows. and whenever i sync it in my itouch there is no movie find... guys help me.

I do not like having them seperate like this. I wish they kept movies as all movies vs seperating it out like this! If you change to list view in 11 as well you will all the movies regardless of the category they are assigned to. I like the overall look and feel of the new iTunes but do not like this option. IMO "Movies" should show all and if you want to drill out different "categories" that option is still there.
Anyways, thanks for the tip all...I had one movie imported like seven times until I was able to locate it LOL. I am surprised that I was never asked if I wanted to replace the existing file.

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.

How to add movies on iTunes?

How to add movies on iTunes? So I could put it on my iPad.
Thanks in advance!

I also just tried an experiment. With the movie file on the desktop, begin to drag it across to the playlist area of the iTunes window. Hold the Option key while dragging. The file will copy in place, without adding itself to the Media folder.
I like to drag to the Playlist area because it is immediately accessible. I'm sure if you drag to the upper portion it will still get in there. But then you have to find it to work on it.

HT1657 cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv

cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv it tells me to go to itunes store on my desktop and everything is upto date here

Yes that's perfectly possible.
The drawback is the rental needs to completely download before it will stream to the Apple TV.
The advantages are it can then be watched on any Apple TV if you have more than one and can be watched as many times as you want (within the rental period) without needing to redownload it everytime.

Can not add movie to itune

Hi,
I just set up new itunes for ipod touch but i just can not add movie file (mp4) to library in itunes. Please help! Thanks so much!

Make sure you're looking for it in the Movies or TV Shows libraries, or do a search for it by name.
Did you check if the format is compatible with iTunes (QuickTime plays more formats if you have add-ons)?
"but when I open that file with itunes"
This statement confuses me as your point 1/ says you can't find it in iTunes.

Can't Add Movies to iTunes Library

I have terabytes of home movies that I have imported from the camera into iMovie. It dawned on me that I would like to watch these in my living room via my Apple TV III. However, I'm having trouble adding these .mov files to my iTunes library. I added a handful, but when I tried to view them in my iTunes library (by double-clicking on the title in iTunes), I got a very low-res version of it that only shows a frame or two per second. When I tried to view them on my Apple TV, I got an error message saying, "No content was found."
Subsequent attempts to add the iMovie .mov files were even less successful. When I try and drag any more home movies to iTunes, nothing happens. The new additions do not show up in iTunes. I try dragging the files to the Movies area of iTunes, a blue frame appears around the area, but when I let go of the files, nothing happens, nothing gets added to my iTunes library.
Can't Apple's iTunes software read files created by Apple's iMovie software?

I get the little box but if I mark the clip, and click okay, the window dissappear and nothing happens. I've underwent somewhat drastic measurements now, I'm currently re-installing iTunes. I can watch all movies, if that's what you mean
After I've re-installed iTunes, it finally works. Thank you all who tried to help me =)

Cannot add apps to iTunes Wish List for my ipod

When using iTunes on my Macbook, I cannot add apps (for ipod, ipad, etc. NOT for computer) to my Wish List. When I try, a pop up error alert box says that "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed., to try again later." The odd thing is that I can add music albums to my Wish List. I am not trying to add previously bought apps, but new ones that I find that I might want later. I used to be able to do this, but not as of recently. I even updated my Itunes to see if that would help. No effect. Is it my wifi network,? Any ideas of how to remedy this?

thanks. I opened iTunes this morning and miraculously my wish list seems to be working. i see one app i had added to be downloaded. I am able to remove songs from wish list and add songs and preview all.
last i heard from the customer service person was that they referred the issue to a senior level support person. this after i sent them several screen shots of my wish list and the error about unable to add to existing wish list because ittem was already there.
I have not heard from them that my issue is resolved. I will give them a day or so to get back to me to confirm they fixed the problelm.
very strange. at least they acknowledged the problem did indeed exist as they referred me to the online user forum for possible solutions. I indicated the problem persisted as early as June 2010 and as late as Jan 2012. and I had upgraded to ver 10.5.3 as well as remove and re-install even AFTER they kept telling me they removed my wishlist.

Cannot add content to iTunes U using Woolamloo Automator Action

We cannot use the Woolamloo Automator action to add any content to our iTunes U site recently. Ex: We created a workflow using “Get iTunes U XML” , “Find Sections in iTunes U XML” and “Add divisions into iTunes U” actions, the returned result was the section handle to which the division was expected to be added and the the log said “ Get iTunes U XML completed, Find Sections in iTunes U XML completed, Add Divisions into iTunes U completed, Workflow completed”, however, no division was added to the section actually. It’s the same with other adding content actions. But we had no problem with deleting actions.
Meanwhile, we cannot access the iTunesU webservices, either. When we try “curl https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/ShowTree/nd.edu.roothandle?credentials=(administrator credential)&identity=(identity)&time=(time)&signature=(signature)&x=true”, the result is : “Forbidden. You don’t have permission to access this document on this server”. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Yes, we still have this problem.
We believe the shared secret and credentials are correct because we can get the site XML via Woolamaloo Automator action.
We also attached the debug suffix in the script and the result was "Because the received signature and time were valid, the received identity and credentials were accepted by iTunes U." And we can use the same signature to log in to our iTunes U site. But when performing the HTTP GET request, we got the "request is forbidden" error.
Thanks for your help, we do appreciate.

Cannot Add Podcasts from iTunes to iPod Manually

So, I have one of the latest version of iTunes (to my knowlede, I just do auto updates), an iPod nano (the rectangular one), and subscriptions to various podcasts.
I have had this trouble in the past and I can't remember how I got around before (if I ever did consciously), but the problem has arised again. I cannot add podcasts to my iPod manually. I drag and drop, the little green circle with the plus sign shows, but nothing is added to the iPod. It is possible to manually add podcats once i haved it synced, but I don't want to sync because it stuffs up pattern (which isn't really a pattern at all, so I can't syn it to fit one).
Future Thanx!

Same problem here - is there any way you can manually manage podcasts on your ipod? I listen to a language-learning podcast and I only want the current lesson stored on my ipod, instead of the whole series, which i like to keep on my imac for reference. Anybody have a solution?

Cannot add music to iTunes

I've just put some new music on my external hard drive, and now want to add it to iTunes. I've tried both the "Add folder to iTunes" and "Add files to iTunes" options, as well as dragging and dropping both the folder and music separately from windows explorer, but nothing works. iTunes will however play the music on my external hard drive that I've added previously.
I'm using the latest version of iTunes (10.0.1.22), and am running Windows XP SP2. This is driving me crazy, can anyone please help?

running iTunes as ADMINISTRATOR in WINDOWS 7 will shut off the drag and drop music feature, quit iTunes and run it as a regular user NO admin option checked in the properties and compatibility tab

Cannot import Movie from iTunes on MacBook to iMac. Error says computer not

When I try to import the movie from the shared folder on my laptop to the desktop I get an error message that says this computer is not authorized. All of my computers have been authorized.

If you purchased and not rented, it should let you stream this to your TV?
You can't defeat the DRM protection from TV or movie purchases from iTunes.
There are two things you can try though if you purchased and not rented.
If, you have a computer with up to date version of iTunes on it, Delete the movie from your iPad and try downloading it from iTunes on your computer.
From there you have two options. One is to connect the iPad to your computer and sync it to the iPad, the try playing the movie from your iPad connected to your TV.
The other option is to leave the movie on iTunes on your computer. In iTunes main menu bar under Advanced, turn on Home Sharing. On your iPad activate iTunes Home Sharing, by going into the settings app, locate the video app settings menu on the left pane, then under Home Sharing, type in your Apple ID and password to activate this feature on the iPad.
Go to the video app, itself. You should see a Sharing tab pop-up. Tap this and an icon representing your iTunes library on your computer should appear. Tap this. Let it load. Under the movies tab, search for your downloaded movie, tap the movie and tap the play button to begin streaming the movie from your computer to your iPad connected to your TV.
If this is a rental, you can only view and play the movie from one device at a time. If rented, it may not let you view the movie from other than the iPad or iTunes on the computer or AppleTV.
If delete this from the iPad, download the rental movie to iTunes on your computer and follow my procedure for sharing your iTunes library, you maybe able to stream this from your computer to the iPad to your TV in that manner.
