Cannot transfer music to iTunes. Help?

I have been downloading music all day and then transfering the mp3s to iTunes, but suddenly iTunes will not allow me to import files. I usually just right click the file and click "Open with iTunes" but suddenly got no response from the application. I then tried using the "Add to Library" function and the clicking and dragging into the window method but iTunes did not respond at all. The files play in Quicktime so I know they are working, but my iTunes has stopped responding to adding new files. Apart from that, it works fine - playing music, creating and playing playlists, etc.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes or iPhone forums.
Regards.

    strange.
    perhaps let's first try running through the troubleshooting advice from this document:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
    ... but if no joy with any of that, let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Cannot transfer music from iTunes to iPod Shuffle

    Still having difficulty getting my head around how this iTunes stuff works.  I logged into iTunes and redeemed a $15 gift card by entering the code on the back.  I saw the $15 balance added to my account.  I proceeded to buy two songs, but now cannot get them onto the iPod Shuffle device.  I'm using a new Windows 8 PC and the iPod does not appear as a device within in iTunes.  So I remove the Shuffle from the USB port and take it to the older Windows 7 PC, plug it in, and now it shows up in iTunes on that machine.  However, when the two new songs I purchased don't show up in the Library there so when I try to Sync with the Shuffle, no new songs come over.
    On the Windows 8 PC, I see the two new songs along with three earlier purchased songs in the Library.  However, only the three earlier songs display the "Download from iCloud" icon next to them.  I'm guessing this means that the two new purchased songs only reside locally on the Windows 8 PC (where the purchase was initiated) and therefore cannot yet be seen from the Windows 7 PC.  If this is the case, how do I get the two new songs into iCloud so that I can transfer them to the Shuffle from the Windows 7 PC?  Or better yet, is there a way to get iTunes to see the Shuffle through Windows 8 so I can just transfer it from there?
    This is all far too confusing than it needs to be.  For a company that touts its "It Just Works" slogan, this experience is extremely disappointing.

    After some period of time, I eventually was able to see the newly purchased songs in the Library from the Windows 7 PC (not sure if there is typically such a delay).  I then finally figured out that I needed to click the "Download from iCloud" icons to manually initiate the download of the two new songs to the iTunes repository on that PC.  At this point, I found that re-running Sync finally completed the transfer of the songs to the iPod Shuffle.
    Still curious about why the device isn't detected on the Windows 8 PC, though.  But apparently it's a common issue as I get a lot of hits on this when I Google it.

  • HT5654 why i cannot transfer music from my itunes to my iphone 5s ? can you pl. help ?

    Why i cannot transfer music from Itunes to my Iphone 5S can any one help me?

    "cant simply drag the songs from the library to the iphone like i used to in my ipod touch?"
    If you check manually manage music you can.
    Perhaps you should read the manual:

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

  • ? after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc, cannot transfer music files to iphone 4s

    after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc windows 7, i cannot transfer music from pc to iphone 4s

    When I try to "drag and drop" a song, it just does not allow me to do it (circle with line thru it). I should also mention that I just changed PC's as well.  I tsnsferred all of the music files from the hdd of the old to the new. After reading some of the other posts, I think this might have more to do with the problem than the switch to itunes 10.6.3?

  • Cannot transfer music? help!

    recently i had to wipe my hardrive on my laptop. as a reult i had to reinstall itunes. when i plug my ipod into my laptop itunes says it cannot transfer music unless i wipe my ipod of all its music first. i've tried physically copying the files from the ipod, tried idump and copypod. but none seem to work. it says that there are corrupted files and will only copy 32/4300 songs!! does anyone have any ideas what i should do??

    Apple hopes this happens so you can buy more of their itunes. Otherwise they would've fixed this a year ago when the problem first arrived. I'm in the same boat, too many good and paid for songs...

  • I cannot seem to transfer music from ITunes to other devices?

    Is it not possible to transfer music from Itune's to other device's then Aplle products?

    Recent iTunes Store music purchases can be moved to non-Apple devices by locating the song files and following the instructions provided with the device; in some cases, the file needs to be converted to MP3 first. Very old music purchases can't be except to a handful of Motorola cellphones.

  • I cannot transfer music to a new Ipod I receive

    I cannot transfer music from my itunes to my ipod

    If you want to use automatic syncing, which is the best way to load content on an iPod, here's how to do it.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary.  Next to Summary, find and click on the Music.  This screen is the Music tab where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to your iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your entire music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then...
    Below that, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, your selection syncs to the iPod.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod, when you connect it (or click the Sync button).
    Here's one easy way to set it up.  In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  From your main iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with the songs you want on the iPod.  On the iPod's Music tab, select ONLY that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists).  When you click Apply, those songs sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that iPod Songs playlist (add and/or remove songs) in iTunes and connect your iPod.
    To load other types of content, such as podcasts and audiobooks, set up the other "tabs."

  • I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Ipod

    I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Ipod, i can see my Ipod, and I tried to drag and drop but it wont work

    Make sure the "Sync Music Tab" is checked.  If it isn't, when you check it, it will prompt you that you can only sync to one iTunes library at a time.  The iPod will have to be erased to sync with the new library.
