Cannot import multiple songs into my library!

I can import a folder and a single song but I can't import multiple songs in iTunes 7!! Version 6 was fine! Also the icon for iTunes is missing!

All PDF files imported to the iTunes library by the user will be treated as "books". You should find your digital booklet in the Books section of your library. Use the Get Info dialog box to change the media kind to music and add in the correct Album, Artist, Album Artist and Genre. The booklet should merge into the album. If not see my tip Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!
To confirm; audiobooks, digital booklets, iPod clickwheel games, iTunes LPs, iTunes extras, ringtones and selected movies are excluded from the repeat download policy that applies to other purchases from the iTunes store. Podcasts and iTunes U content is supplied independently of the store and future availability will depend on the provider. Any content may be removed from the iTunes store at any time without notice and would thus be no longer available for redownloading. You should always maintain your own backup of your iTunes library and its content.

How to import multiple songs into iTunes

Hello there...
I am fairly new to iTunes and am becoming frustrated with this particular issue. Prior to using iTunes, I used Kazaa, where whenever a song was added to My Shared Folder, Kazaa would update the library instantly. I want to have the same sort of thing with iTunes. For example, one of my friends filled my USB drive with music today. When I came home and plugged it into my computer, I dragged and dropped all the songs into my iTunes Music folder. I expected them to appear in the library, but they're not there. I don't know how to add them all to iTunes without importing them one by one. I suppose in this case I could import my entire USB drive folder, but what if someone sends me a handful of songs as an email attachment or over MSN? How do I import those?
Thank you!

iTunes for windows doesn't "Watch" folders and files for changes like other programs. You need to goto File>add folder to library so it will "Piont" iTunes to where the music is located on the system.

I uploaded/imported two CD's (51 songs) into my library as playlists. Now, I cannot download these 51 songs into/onto my Ipod because I can not find a sync, or link, that allows me to do this. Any answers

I uplodaded/imported two CD discs (51 songs) into my library as playlists. Now, I cannot find a sync, or link, that allows me to download those 51 songs into/onto my Ipod Nano which is synced and connected. Any answers?

You can choose what to sync in iTunes when you connect your iPod, choose it, and then go to the tab "Music", there, choose those playlists to be synchronized.
If you sync your iPod now, the playlists should be synchronized.

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or album.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or even the album sort order (for example when adding 2 albums stored in a unique folder). Anyone has any ideas ? Been stumped for a while....!!!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Select the project in the Library Inspector and export the project as library. Then import this library into your other Aperture library.

Making Multiple Entries Into iTunes Library Columns

Is there any way to enter the same data for multiple songs into a column I have selected for my iTunes library? For instance I would like to subdivide my jazz songs into categories like Bop, Bosa Nova and Progressive. I added the columns "Category" and "Description" to my library by selecting View>View Options and checking the boxex for Category and Description. Those columns now appear in my library and I can enter data for one song at a time by clicking on the column for that song. However, I cannot find a way to enter data for multiple songs in those columns at one time. I can highlight multiple songs and go to File>GetInfo>Info to enter the same data for the selected songs but only for the fields included in the Info dialogue box. The new columns I selected, "Category" and "Description", were not added to the Info dialogue box so I cannot modify this data there. A simple solution from Apple would seem to be to automacally add all selected fields to the GetInfo>Info dialogue box, but that option does not seem to exist at this time. Does anyone know how I can enter the same data in multiple songs in these additional columns all at once. Thanks

OK, I'm done writing the app.
Go to my iTunes scripts page and follow the link there for downloading Perl (if you don't have it already). Install Perl, and then download my itunes_info script. Select the track(s) in iTunes, then run the script to edit the Comment and Description fields for multiple (or single) tracks. You can get a freeware utility similar to GhostTyperXML to attach the script to a key combo if you're going to be doing this a lot.
In addition to allowing you to edit the comment and description fields, it will allow also you to rate songs using 1/2 stars (e.g. 2.5 stars).
Sorry, you cannot use it to change the artwork.

HT201272 I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days..." WH

I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years. My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too? Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

When I import a folder into my library, music starts playing and I can't stop it.

So, I haven't used iTunes in years.
I'm just wondering if this is the same for everyone, of if I've just done something wrong.
Brand new install of the latest version of iTunes (11.3.1) - Open it up, use the "Import folder" option to import a folder into my library.
It's a large (over 200gb) folder.
As it's importing, for some reason, iTunes starts to play the first few seconds of each album that gets imported.
But, because the "Importing.." dialogue window is open, I can't hit "pause" or "stop".
So, my computer is just sitting here playing the first few seconds of many many songs whilst importing. I can turn down the volume to stop it, but I'm just wondering -
Is this normal? Seems a little odd and strange.

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

I can't import any songs into iTunes.

I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

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).

Can't get old songs into iTunes library

When I first started downloading iTunes it was going through my computer and putting my old songs into the library. Once it got done with the first 34 songs it quit putting any other songs into the library. Now I can't get any more of the songs into the library. How can I get the other songs into iTunes?

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

How can I copy a music CD to a blank CD on my iMac without importing the songs into my itunes?

So far the solutions I have seen suggest to import the songs into iTunes, create a playlist, and then burn this playlist to a blank CD.
However, I don't want these songs in my playlist. My mother-in-law asked me to make a copy for her and it is her type of music which i don't want in my iTunes.
Is there any way I can copy these songs without importing them first?
Thanks!

No, unless you use the copy function in Roxio Toast.
You could try via Disk Utility but you may be thwarted by copy protection.
Of course, there is nothing to stop you deleting those tracks from iTunes after you have made the copy!

My ipod has 760 songs on it. I had to reload my computer that contained itunes. The new installation of itunes won't allow me to copy the songs into the library. What can I do?
