Cannot import songs in library

Hi there. This is my first post. I have a library of over 15000 songs on a external HD. I've imported them to my itunes library but several of them won't show up. I've tried import file, import folder, drag and drop, double click, nothing works. I've checked these files, they're mp3 some have correct tag, some don't... can anyone please help ?
Thanx
Ian

Try this on the files then add them to iTunes.

Still cannot import songs from library to iphone

Dearest,
my problem is the following: whilst my laptop accepted my iphone as external device when it comes to itunes on the left-hand sidebar i cannot see my device. Moreover if that helps you when i choose accidentally some songs to import them "the sync option" is grey - therefore i am not able even to do that sync part.
Thank you so much for your instant reply and your thoughtfulness.
Kind Regards,
Paschalis

Why not? What happens when trying to sync content to the device? Or are you manually managing content on the device?
No one can help you if you choose to not provide details.

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

Cannot copy songs from library to ipod - says need to run updater but ipod

Cannot copy songs from library to ipod- says the software is too old and updater needs to be rund. However, the updater has been run and says the ipod is up to date. I have already run the restore so the ipod is empty.

The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
So, transfer of any songs added (or removal of any songs deleted from iTunes) should take place automatically every time you connect the iPod to iTunes.

HT4527 Cannot import songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library

When I format my computer, all of the songs in my iTunes are gone. This is normal. But then, how come I cannot import all of my songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library.

That's normal too. iTunes is designed to transfer purchases only. Ideally you would have backed up your library and personal data before reformatting.

ITunes cannot find songs in library

For some reason, my iTunes cannot find songs in my iTunes library that are there. It says the file cannot be located, and I have to go one by one and individually find the files for iTunes. I checked in my preferences and I made sure that it is actually looking in the folder where all my songs are. Any idea why this happened? Is there any way to find all of the songs at once instead of doing them individually? (I have about 800 songs, so that could take a while).

One way you might be able to speed things up ( re-add to itunes) is to find songs where Itunes does know about from the same Artist and then right click on song and select reveal in explorer. This will give you the path to folder of similar songs. You then go to folder and select the songs you want re-added to itunes. While it plays it gets re-added. YOu can play a few seconds of the song and then go to next one that needs to be added.

Had to reinstall OS and Itunes..Will not import songs from library folder

I reinstalled my Windows 7 OS and Installed Itunes 10.6 but when I add my ipodmusic folder to the library it does not import the songs into the library. I tries dragging and dropping a few songs but it deletes them from the folder.
Any ideas?

I think I'm having the same problem. This is what I get when I try to import songs:
The iPod “Ian” is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this I Pod with those from this library?
Yes No
What is this about? My buddy accidentally hit yes, and lost all of the songs on his iPod. I simply want to update my iPod with new material. This new material was obtained while using a different computer than what I originally used when I first got my iPod. Does anyone know how I can get music from a new computer on my iPod

So I removed my itunes and reinstalled it this was working grate till I got about 600 songs on and then it began having the same issues, I dont know if I showed just try and reinstall my itunes again or what?

Can't import songs into library due to a 2nd library that I didn't create

I think someone may have created their own folder on my iPod nano and then returned it to the store (even though I purchaed it new). Anytime I try to download music it goes to this other folder which I can't access because it is password protected. My folder is visible but there is no way to redirect the downloads.
Any help on how to remove the existing folder would be greatly appreciated

Anytime I try to download music
From where to where?
it goes to this other folder
WHere do yuo see this folder?
In iTunes?
On the iPod thru iTunes?
On your computer?
it goes to this other folder which I can't access because it is password protected.
Where does it ask you for a password?
In Windows?
My folder is visible but there is no way to redirect the downloads.

Cannot import Backup Library onto new computer

My computer recently crashed, but I saved my backup library to disk before it crashed. I purchased a new computer which has Windows Vista and downloaded the new Itunes to my computer. For some reason, I cannot import the old library. Is there something I need to do to get my library to open on my new computer?

Hi eagles2008
Not really sure i remember when i was moving librarys i couldn't just drag the whole library in. i had to select everything in a folder and then drag that in. Try importing one song a see if it works.
Try putting it in a folder and selecting 'import folder into library' or drag it in.
do the files work and is your library on your ipod. (if so it makes it alot easier).
If the files work try clicking on them and see if they go to itunes.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs I listen to from my external hard drive into the music library?

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work

I am trying to move my itunes library from my old pc to my new imac, home sharing is on and I can see the shared library. My problem is that when I check the shared library to import it to my imac I cannot import it. Can anyone help me?

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

Upgrade OS X on your Mac.
