CANNOT get movies into itunes. PLEASE help!

okay, my mom has an old imac g4. round base, chrome stand and pivot swival screen. anyway, it was pretty out of date as far as software is concerned. i've since got it updated with tiger and the latest version of itunes. however, when i try to drag and drop movies into the itunes movies section, it doesn't allow it. on my intel imac, it lets me drag them in and drop. on this old imac, it won't let me. what do i need to do to get this working? i would greatly appreciate any help. i can't get the photos to sync either because her iphoto is out of date. the movies i have tried are mp4 and m4v movies that are successfully in itunes on my intel imac. thanks for any help!

I'm assuming this has to do with one of these things:
1) the old Mac. If you don't have USB 2.0, it may hesitate to even try to copy a gig or two of movie files (will take FOREVER).
2) Try Disc Utility and run Repair Permissions on the iMac G4. Restart. Try again.
3) Your movies may be Protected and cannot be copied to another computer if you purchased them via iTunes.

Cannot get Music into Itunes Library

Stumped on this one, need help. Using a PC, brought in music from external hard drive to my own. Followed posted web instructions to add folder to library. Result is all new music shows up in i tunes music folder, but not on I tunes library. Without actually playing each song individually, (physically double clicking them from I tunes music folder), how do I now get almost 30 Gig of music to show in my I tunes library. Current library shows 27 gig, should be 57 gig with new music.
PC Windows XP

I too can't get music into itunes. Running XP on a Dell box-of-some-kind. Installed itunes, fine. It imported most of my existing music on start-up just fine; most of the music is on two external hard drives. My music library was too big for the 80gb ipod, so I set to manual sync. It found the ipod. So far so good.
Some of the music wasn't in the itunes library after the initial install. When I went to put it there manually, nothing happened. Tried drag and drop on the library music icon. Tried "add file". Tried "import". Tried deleting the file on the itunes library, the hard drive and the ipod, and re-ripping it in windows media player (mp3 format), then tried steps above again. Nada. Rebooted, tried same steps again. Zip. It's not like these were just some folders that were missed; these are songs missing from albums, where the other songs on the album imported and these ones didn't. I even tried deleting the entire albums, re-ripping them, and re-importing them; now none of the songs in those albums will show up. I read that itunes won't copy duplicate files and won't give feedback, and I tried the posted work-around with the equivalent of the option key. Still no joy. (all the music file formats are mp3)
All this music is purchased and ripped from cd's, or is my own recorded stuff. Nothing pirated. I can uninstall and reinstall itunes, but will that be likely to resolve my problem? Running itunes 7.
Also can't import movies or anything else. Checked the help on itunes, and found nothing there. Does itunes simply have a limit to how much content it will allow in its libraries? Anybody know of a book on itunes 7 that has good trouble-shooting tips?

Cannot get videos into iTunes

I already did the test that this website suggests to make sure that video can play on the iPod. Everything worked fine, but now I can't get any other videos on my computer to copy into iTunes so I can use it on my computer.
I have NO idea what to do. I've done everything I can think of, using Real Player, Media Player and what not. I've spent hours going through this website and I still have no answers. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

It's worth trying to use one of the applications below to convert your videos before trying to add to the library.

Describe exactly what happens when you try to drag a file into a blank playlist iTunes. Do they not appear in the playlist? What happens if you use the "add" feature in the iTunes menu?
Do the files play in Quicktime?

I cannot get music to download- Please help!!!!!!!

I am on the verge of screaming and pulling my hair out!!!! Please help!!! nI got a new laptop and I downloaded my ipod(i think its the 1st gen) onto it. I also downloaded new music on my laptop, when I pulled up itunes to load my new songs onto my ipod I ran into multiple problems. I uninstalled and installed the software multiple times. Downloaded the updated versions and when I connected my ipod it still will not upload the music. I have searched everywhere on the support page, tried everything they suggested. Nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas or had this problem? OR am I going to be forced to buy a new one?

Here's what I did. I took songs and right-clicked them and clicked "add to playlist" I clicked on the name of my ipod shuffle, and it appeared in the contents section of my shuffle's zone. I made sure that the checkboxes next to the songs were checked, then clicked sync.
Hope this helps -:D-Scottdudester-:D-

Gmail Cannot Get Mail...please help!

My iPhone and MacBook Native Mail apps both stopped responding to my main Gmail account. I have tried everything from deleting and re-adding the account in question, to restoring my iPhone (iOS 4), and setting it up as a new phone. I have checked my account settings through Gmail, and even changed my password. The error message I receive is:
Cannot Get Mail
The user name or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect.
or
Cannot Get Mail
The User Name or Password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.
Again, I have logged in and out of my main account through the website with no problems. I am not sure what to do now.

I have a similar issue although mine seems to point towards the fault of Gmail.
I am using mail on 3 different devices
-iPhone 4 (current update)
-iPad 3G (current update)
-iMac 21.5" model (all current updates)
I use a work e-mail AND a personal e-mail, both through Gmail. My work and personal e-mail addresses have been working fine for quite some time. Yesterday however all of the sudden I am getting the same error "the username or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect". This is ONLY my work e-mail, my personal is still working fine on all 3 devices (which leads me to believe it's Gmail with the problem, not my devices). Not sure what to do and google does not have a support phone # or e-mail that i can find. If anyone can help that would be awesome.

Cannot Get Connection to Work, Please Help!

I just signed up and got the 7500 wireless gateway, set up all the wiring as illustrated (double checked 4 times to be sure). I have the E4 line going into my computer's jack and its supposed to provide wireless service anyway. My computer says it recognizes having connectivity, but when I run the Verizon setup CD, it keeps saying it can't connect during the test. I can't get anywhere on the web with any browser, but I can't see what is wrong.
Before anyone asks, my activation date was last Tuesday. I could really use some help!

despite the workaround, it doesn't fix the real problem. It shouldn't be a huge deal for adobe to add support for multiple svn versions. Dreamweaver is the first tool i've used that works with svn that doesn't support several types of svn meta data. If they're going to claim that Dreamweaver supports svn is should actually support svn, the current version, not a version several years old. This should have been among the first patches released, or at least after snow leopard came out (and packaged with it the current version of svn).
does anyone know if the code that handles meta data formatting is something that is human readable, or where it might be, or is it in compiled code.

Cannot update songs into ipod, please help.

Hello,
Thank you for your time in advance.
I have updated my iTunes and that is fine. However, I cannot update my iPOD update. There is a message, "iPOD Setup.Exe is not a valid Win 32 application."
I suspect that's why I cannot update my songs. I have tried everything for the last 4 hours, including restoring my ipod and my itunes, to no avail.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thank you.

hmmmmm. it might be a good idea if you do a check through your PC for malware. that message is suspiciously similar to one folks can get as a result of a Pretty Park infection:
You Are Unable to Start a Program with an .exe File Extension
but if the PC seems clean, try downloading a fresh copy of the ipod updater installer. (that message can also sometimes show up if the installer file gets damaged during the download.)
