Cannot add songs to iTunes Library

All of a sudden iTunes is not letting me add new songs to my library. I've tried Right Clicking>Open with>Itunes. I tried adding the files through the File menu. I tried dragging and dropping. Nothing is working. If I double click the song it begins playing in iTunes but it doesn't get added to the library.

Go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > ADVANCED Tab
you may find iTunes Media file Location box is blank(sometimes this happens after an update).
If that is the case, click the change button and link it to your iTunes Media Folder as follows:
Win 7 C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
WinXP C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media

Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

Cannot add podcast to ITunes Library

I cannot get iTunes to add to the library a podcast. I have successfully added 5 podcasts from the same site. For some reason this one podcast will not move from my desktop to the iTunes Library. (My purpose in moving the podcasts to the library is to be able to burn them to CD at some point. I always listen to these podcasts on my ipod but I have family who do not have computer and I wish to share a few with them.)

I think this is similar to my post, "Downloading MP3s". When I dbl click a downloaded MP3, iTunes opens but it doesn't "import". The song isn't there. This is a recent phenomena...I think since upgrading to 10.1; but I'm not sure.

Can't add songs to itunes library

I have a file with 87 songs in it and when i went to add the file to itunes library only 57 came up. i have tried adding songs by them selves. checked there tags and song names, and everything is normal but itunes wont add them... and no error message apears when doing so *** ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY PLZ~

Try http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0086.html it is an MP3 validator on your mp3's that will not play.
It could also be that the TAGS are not correctly written. There are a lot of problems when the tags are in the ID3v2.4 format. It's better if you switch to writing ID3v2.3 UTF-16 Tags. You can us a program like Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html) to write the tags, and remove unwanted tags.
Ps: As always make backups of your audio files before you try anything.

Cannot add song to itunes

I am trying to add a song to itunes that was previously in there but got corrupted so I had to delete it. When I attempt to add the song now nothing happens. I can add other songs, but not this one song. I have searched through the iTunes library and I don't see the song in there. Any idea if the library itself could be corrupted and it thinks the song is still in there?
Thanks

Hello timtime29,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The function to quickly add to a playlist should still be an option. Please follow the steps below to see the add to option.
Quickly add an item to a playlist
Start dragging the item (or items) you want to add.A pane with a list of playlists appears on the right.
Drag the item to a playlist in the list.
You can also move the pointer over an item, click , choose Add To, and click a playlist.
You can also create a Smart Playlist that updates automatically based on rules you choose, or a Genius playlistthat includes music in your library that’s similar to the selected song.
Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Have new computer- cannot move song from itunes library to the ipod

How do I move songs from the itunes library to the ipod? Have tried dragging & dropping it will not
work. Song is downloaded onto itunes library, but will not go onto ipod

So how exactly are you wanting to or trying to add content to your iPod? Manually or via automatic syncing? Do you have content stored in your iTunes library that you can play? Any error messages when you try to add or sync content to it?
What didn't work? Need A LOT more detail here in order to assist you.

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 files to iTunes library on Windows 8

I've recently purchased a new Acer laptop with Windows 8.1 installed and have the most recent version of iTunes installed, but upon loading it, I am unable to add any files. This isn't just with mp3s, but with tones, apps and books.
At first, I thought it may have been because all my files are stored on a NAS drive, but iTunes doesn't even recognise the drive despite it being mapped. Even trying to drag-and-drop the files from my desktop doesn't add them to my library.
I've trawled the internet for a fix for this, but there are none, though I see a lot of Windows 8 users are experiencing the same problems. I have uninstalled and re-installed ALL Apple software and devices multiple times now, to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Note the current version of iTunes has trouble syncing iOS devices if the applications are on a NAS UNC path. Accessing the library/media folder via a mapped drive letter works.

Cannot drag songs from itune library to Iphone

Ok I am having a problem I cannot drag any of my music on my itunes library onto my iphone. I have looked online at everyones comments and what they tell you to do and nothing works and plus when you click the things they tell you to click on it says its going to delete everything on your iphone and i hit cancel can some please help me!

You will have to check the manually manage music box.
Changing from syncing to manually managing will indeed erase the current content.
Why not just sync the music?

I can only add songs to itunes library, not directly to my ipod.

When I try & add a song to my ipod, nothing happens. I've tried drag & drop, add file...
& in Summary, I have checked Manually manage music & all the other boxes.
Why can't I add songs to my ipod directly?

Okay, never mind. I unchecked the 2nd box. :/ Doh...

Does anyone have any advice on what to do so that I can add music to my iPod?

Has nobody else encountered this problem?

I cannot add songs from my computer to my iTunes library

Ok so basically, I cannot add songs to my library. I cannot add songs to a playlist either. Evertyime I try to drag songs from a folder to my library, nothing happens. It was working fine yesterday, but now it isn't. I have tried logging back in and out of iTunes, shutting down my PC and trying again, etc. I searched google and here and it wasn't really a problem. I have tried installing and unistalling iTunes also. So, any help?

Go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > ADVANCED Tab
you may find iTunes Media file Location box is blank(sometimes this happens after an update).

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.
