Cannot Add MP4 to Library

I cannot add any mp4 files to iTunes, I have tried dragging and "Add file to library" but nothing happens, it does not appear in the library, any help much appreciated.

iTunes 7.5
Vista build 6.00.6000

this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" and type in the "all or part of the file name" itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!

  • Cannot add songs to library

    Afetr uprading to Itunes 11 I cannot add songs to Library. I need Help.

    I hope someone can help as I am having a similiar problem. I have multi users on one macbook. I have Itunes for all users set to the same shared folder for music (to eliminate multi copies of music files) I just added new music to the shared folder by dragging it into the folder (not thru itunes). The user I orginally did the dragging and dropping in, I was able to add to the library however, Now I am not able to add to the library on the other users. 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. I have had this macbook for a week and am new to mac (this is my first mac) I am geting frustrated so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • HT1386 i have followed your instructions and still i cannot add my itunes library from laptop to iphone

    I have gone over these instructions numerous times and I still cannot add music from itunes library on my laptop to my iphone. What am I doing wrong?

    Is it on a NTFS drive?
    Mac can read but not write to NTFS, and it does not see all NTFS drives equally well.
    To write to NTFS I use and recommend Paragon Software $20 NTFS for Mac OS X.         
    Ideally move iTunes to a Mac HFSX format drive though.

  • Cannot add files to library

    When I try to add a file to the iTunes library from the File menu, it closes without warning. When I go to Add Folder to Library, the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message comes up. I have uninstalled it and installed it again, but that didn't work.
    I would appreciate any help.

    bump...
    btw, I've added files to my library several times before and not had this problem.

  • 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.

  • Can't add mp4 to library?

    I want to add an mp4 video to my itunes library. It won't appear, even if I select import from the menu or drag it and it isn't showing up in the music library even thought there is a little green plus sign. Nothing is happening and there is no error message. I tried to search for the solution but only got answers for people who have Windows. How do I make it work for Mac?

    an mp4 video won't show up in the music library. It will show up in the movies library.

  • IBooks stays blank - cannot add files to library

    My iBooks library is simply blank. I cannot see the files I 'added' to the library. I cannot see the files it supposibly imported from my iTunes (which now no longer has a 'Books' section.
    Even tho i can open pdf's on my iPhone 5 just fine, none of those files can be seen anywhere in iBooks on my Macbook Air (Maverick), even tho iCloud i enabled and works fine in all other apps.
    When i try to add files to my library it asks me if i want to replace the files they match that are already in it (again, these files cannot be seen), but it makes no difference whether i tell it yes-replace or no-cancel at that point: my iBooks stays blank.
    I cannot uninstall iBooks because it says it is required by OS X.
    When i open the app, view its info or try to delete it my whole laptop laggs.
    Someone please please help. I haven't been this frustrated with a computer since i was still using pc's

  • Cannot Add MP4 Video File!!! HELP!!!

    I have got the 80GB IPod and have added a few videos, each MP4 files about 164MB in size. However, when i tried to add a MP4 video file that is 216MB it does not upload into my library? It is definately the correct file type and I have about 73GB left in memory so what could the problem be?

    They are not formatted correctly.
    Just because a file is mp4 does not guarantee it is
    playable by the iPod.
    Correct file formatting :
    Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps,
    640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity
    version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC
    audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v,
    .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768
    Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline
    Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160
    Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
    file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by
    480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with
    AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in
    .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    PS. Hard drive space is not referred to as memory-it
    is storage space. You have 73 GB of storage space
    left, not memory.
    It IS formatted correctly, it has all the attributes mentioned in the video file format supported by IPod mentioned above and the file is identical (apart from it is 216MB opposed to 164MB) to the other video files already stored on my IPod.
    Thank you for the wise up on the IPod 'lingo'though!
    So any other ideas?

  • Cannot Add File to Library in iTunes version 7

    (prenote: I have completed the 5 R's)
    I do not seem to be able to add a file to the iPod with the Add File function like I used to in version 6 of iTunes. I now have to Import File for the podcasts and mp3's which I would like to add. Then, when these are imported to my library, the iPod begins having difficulty being recognized by iTunes.
    Is there an update coming for v. 7 ??

    no response from any one.

  • Iphoto 5 cannot add photos to library

    hi,
    most of the photos that i have on my computer are not showing up in iphoto. they're all in the correct folders (iphoto library with automatic date subfolders), and iphoto used to display them. i have tried several times to re-add the images to the library, but every time i get an error message:
    Unreadable Files: 1 [or # of photos i'm trying to add]
    the following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
    these are just standard jpegs (and a few movies taken with a digital camera), and they work fine when opened in preview or photoshop. not that i have much use for iphoto anyway, but it would be nice to be able to use it once in a while.
    i recently bought a new digital camera, but i doubt that this is the issue - both the old and new cameras are canons and work fine. any ideas?
    thanks,
    adam

    Sounds likr you may have a corrupted databae. Have a read of this article for help in recovering the situation:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107947
    iPhoto will not import pics that are in the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.

  • Cannot add music to library - insufficient privileges.

    Hello all. I have a Time machine backup that i have files in. The backups were done in snow leopard, but i recently sold that computer and bought another on from someone and it only has leopard. So Of course i can't load a time machine backup due to OS differences.
    So I tried to simply go into the time machine backup and just navigate to the folder that had some music in it, but it wasn't an itunes folder. Just some music in a lone folder. When I tried to add it to the itunes library then it said something like I didn't have enough privileges. So i went to the folder and changed the privileges for everyone to have read and write access to that folder and the files inside of it. Itunes still gives me the same error. I even changed the privs in the itunes music folder in which the music would go to when added to itunes and i changed those privs....no good.
    So now what do I do? I'll end up getting the snow leopard soon, but i still want to get some files in there now. I am also afraid that i might not have enough space on this hard drive because the time machine backup had ALOT of stuff in there. Unless time machine is smart and doesn't add all the system files in there or something.
    HELP PLEASE!!! Thanks in advance

  • Updated  Itunes to 10.6.3 and cannot add music to library at all?

    Itunes will not play any music files that are not already added to the library either. Any ideas? Restarted program, searched for files in Itunes....

    If you haven't done so already, I'd download and install the 10.6.3 v1.1 "combo" updater:

  • 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.

  • Updated itunes to 10.4.1.10 on Windows XP. Now cannot add files or album covers. please help

    Installed latest version of itunes when prompted yesterday. Using hp compaq laptop running Windows XP. Now cannot add files to library or add albulm covers. Tried to play new mp3s from external drive, that I was trying to add. got message saying "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error7 (windows error 1455)"
    Have also had a couple of  "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" forced shutdowns. Cannot find files to reinstall and itunes is telling me I am using the current version.
    Infuriating!!! Can you help me please?

    Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
    Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • New 6th generation ipod - loaded my library onto the iPod  all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist.

    I have purchased a new 6th generation ipod and registered it with Apple- it has loaded all my library onto the iPod but when the library is displayed all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist. Can anyone help me ?

    The content that you are viewing on your Nano via iTunes is grayed out since your iPod is set up for automatic syncing with your iTunes library.  If you want to be able to manually manage your contents (which is sounds like you are trying to do), you must enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.
