Cannot import .aac file to itunes..

Hi ,
There the problem. I got 2 songs with .aac extension cannot play and add to library . I'm using the latest itunes 10.6.3.25 and window 7.
Can anyone show me how to check whether a song is DRM-free or not.

Are you adding them by:
Opening iTunes
Going to the File menu
Moving down to Add to Library.
Navigating to the songs and selecting them?

  • I cannot import audio files to iTunes

    I just downloaded an audiobook with 8 chapters from a website. The files are "MPEG file". Is it the reason why I cannot import or add them to the library in iTunes ?
    I had the first volume of the same audiobook, it had a "film MPEG" name even though it was audio ! and it sit on my iTunes library nicely.
    I must add that I got the iTunes 7 yesterday, so … maybe it is connected ?
    can anyone give me a hint ?
    thanks a lot

    Thank you for taking the time to answer. I was very busy until now and could not thank you earlier.
    Anyhow, searching and searching, I found the solution to my problem. iTunes was not to blame. What happened is that I did not download the files "really". Because of my ignorance about how to download I only saved an "image" of them (kind of…) and that is why it could not play or get added to the iTunes library.
    After understanding that I went back to the site and there they were, ready to be downloaded for good ! I could do the downloading in a proper way and everything was fine with iTunes.

    thank you again for you time

  • I cannot import any files into iTunes

    When I try to add a file to iTunes by dragging it over the iTunes window, iTunes simply does nothing, no error message, no failure, the file simply isn´t copied into iTunes. Same applies when I try to select a file via the mediathek importer (shortcut cmd+O).
    I has worked before but then I upgraded to version 7.7.1 and now it simply doesn´t anything. Does anyone have the same problem?

    I'm having the same problem.
    For over a week now, I have not been able to import songs into my library by dragging them on to iTunes. Whenever I do, I get the following message:
    *"Attempting to copy to the disk “XXXX” failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.*
    *iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder and folders in your Music Folder, then try copying this file again."*
    I can still buy and play songs from iTunes, or import from a CD – but if it’s a music file from somewhere else (like a digital album I bought straight from a band’s website, and NOT through iTunes), then it won’t allow me to import it to iTunes. I was able to do it a few weeks ago, but now I get the above error message. Since then I have upgraded to iTunes 8 — however the error message started happening right before that, so it can’t be that. The one major thing that has happened to my computer since then, and which I think could possibly be the culprit here, is detailed in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1686803&tstart=0
    Basically I was having trouble accessing my account, and I had to delete it and rebuild it. I’m pretty sure the problem with importing music files happened after that.
    I looked online for ways to fix this problem, but none of the suggested solutions have worked:
    I made sure my Music Library folder, and ALL the folders within, had “read & write” access for my account, but that didn’t work.
    I used Disk Utility to perform Repair Permissions, but that didn’t work either.
    So I’m at a loss for what else I should do. Any suggestions?
    (FYI — my music is all located on my external hard drive).

  • Cannot import WAV files into itunes with 8.01!

    Although I see posts in this category, this question has not been answered. iTunes 8 and 8.01 have lost a critical capability compared to iTunes 7. I have an Olympus digital voice recorder that I like to download to my ipod. I could do this before 8.01! Now I cannot!
    Are you working on a solution?

  • I get an error when trying to import MP3 files in iTunes?

    When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
    The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
    I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
    For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
    (I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
    Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
    Thanks in advance for any help !!!

  • How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

    I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

    #5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
    Shane's Stock Answer #5:
    To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
    File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
    Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
    Sample size - 16 bit
    Channels - Stereo
    If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
    If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

  • Can't Import AAC file into Premier CS4

    Hello!
    As the title says, I'm not able to import AAC files into my Premier Pro projects.  The funny thing is that these files were created in Premier Pro CS4, so what gives?  I took the audio out of a video and exported ONLY the audio in AAC format.  But when I want to import these files into a project, it gives me a file not supported message.  What am I doing wrong?

    It says the codec is installed, so it should work no?  I mean, like I said in the OP, I created these files in Premier Pro.  I find it odd that I can't import files I created in the same program I used to export them.
    I do agree that if you Export a file from a program, it should Import into that same program. That similar once did, but do not now, indicates that something has changed. Trying to find out what that is can be a bit time-consuming and can lead to dead ends.
    I would try the Export again, but use PCM/WAV, to make sure that that method, format will work.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
    2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
    3) Select Properties
    4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
    5) Click Change
    6) Select ITunes
    7) Select Always for this type checkbox
    8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
    9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
    10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

  • How to import Flac files into itunes

    Hi there,
    the title say it all. How can I import Flac files into Itunes?
    I have a lot of them. I click onto add to library select the flac file, click on open and nothing happen.
    Many thanks for your help.
    regards

    Hello CESNET the best bet is to try http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ I myself don't use Flac files but to any audiophile it's important to hear sound at it's best. Also WAV or AIFF & ALAC you will need to use http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html to convert into ALAC.
    P.S. their is also a simple FLAC player but can't remember it one more thing converting FLAC to WAV will not give you full TAGs. Best bet is to try just one file you've copied ether straight into iTunes or convert & see what's best for you.

  • I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

    Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
    I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source?  It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes.  You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them.  Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
    Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in.  They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

  • Cannot import any files on Lightroom 4.2

    I have been having problems with importing all files to Lightroom since my Macbook was 'healthchecked'!! I get the message 'cannot read files'.
    This started with Lightroom 3 - where I have tried to delete the preference file and then recreate - no luck, after alot of other things tried, I then
    uninstalled Lightroom 3 and installed a fresh version of Lightroom 4.2 - and the problem still exists.
    I suspect it is a configuration problem but am not technical, so I need some non-techie suggestions please, I am getting very very frustrated!!
    Can anyone help, please.

    Victoria,
    Thank you for you reply, it must have been something to do with the
    permissions of the folders as I just decided to create a new folder as
    the destination folder and that worked!!
    So thank you so much, I just now need to organise all the photographs.

    Which folder are you setting as the Destination, for the files to be
    imported into?  Does it work if you set it to, say, Desktop? 
    That "cannot be read" error message more often means "cannot be
    written" (yes, I know, that's stupid!!!), so it's probably a folder
    permissions issue.

  • I cannot import .mov files to Premiere Pro or Adobe Media Encoder.

    I cannot import .mov files to Premiere Pro or Adobe Media Encoder.
    How do I around this problem?

    We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you.
    What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so, exactly what does it say?
    What version of Premiere Pro? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system?
    Does this happen for all .mov files or just some? Has this ever worked before? What version of QuickTime do you have installed?
    Here's a page written for After Effects, but the information is relevant to Premiere Pro and AME, too:

  • Importing .avi files in iTunes

    Importing .avi files in iTunes can be done as follows ( this comes from the Quicktime tutorial site) :
    Open your .avi file in Quicktime and click Share
    When I try this on my iMAC the option for ITunes does not show up on the list. Is someone able to tell me how to achieve this. I have attached a print from what I see in Quicktime when I want to share an . avi file

    Convert the file to an itunes compatible format using Handbrake.

  • Cannot import Illustrator files - crash to desktop

    Hello:
    I've been experimenting with the Catalyst beta at work, but it seems I cannot import Illustrator files (yet phototshop files are fine). What happens is the following:
    1) Click "From Adobe Illustrator AI File..." link on the start screen.
    2) Choose an AI file in the file selector (I used the one found at http://www.insideria.com/2009/06/flash-catalyst-beta-1-top-bran.html)
    3) Catalyst begins the process and shows a progress bar, but then immediately crashes to desktop without warning.
    I've tried several other AI files, but the results are the same. Is anyone else having this problem?
    System specs (if it matters) are:
    Windows XP SP2
    Professional x64 Edition
    Intel core 2 Duo
    2.33GHz, 3.93 GB of RAM

    Ok, this is going to sound strange, but here's what happened:
    1) I went to the Catalyst directory to retrieve the log file you mentioned. It seems I had generated about nineteen or so of these logs. I've gone ahead and attached them to this post.
    2) I deleted all of these logs out of my Catalyst directory.
    3) I went back and performed the above steps, and it worked! I even tried another AI file, and it imported successfully.
    The only thing that has changed since yesterday is the fact that I deleted these logs. I'm baffled...
