Cannot upload videos into itunes library!

sorry if this is the wrong place to post or something, but i'm in desperate need of help!
i can't seem to upload any of my own videos into itunes video library. i heard that i'm supposed to drag the file into the library but when i do that it just stays the same and nothing happens. i tried to reformat the video files to MPEG but it still doesn't work.
Can someone please help me?
PS. I'm using Ipod video

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Open Quicktime. Try to open the video through that. Does it open and play in Quicktime?
Also, right click on the video file. Go to properties. What is the file type/kind?
You will most likely need to use a 3rd Party Converter, as iTunes will only accept videos that are compatible with Quicktime.

Please help me. I cannot import videos into itunes library

I have read the manual's entries on doing this and nothing seems to be working. It won't let me import my own videos into the itunes library for me to convert to a file recognized by ipod. I have a 5th generation ipod. I am doing everything it tells me to do and still nothing. I have called technical support and they won't help me because I didn't purchase the videos through itunes. I have tried to click and drag the file and it won't let me do it even though the manual says that's what to do. when I look into the movies tab it is blank. When I put a dvd in my drive to copy to itunes library it doesn't even show up. I am going crazy and am about to return this if I can't get this figured out.

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Control Panel > Programs n Features > highlight QuickTime, click CHANGE then REPAIR.

Unable to import videos into iTunes library

For the past few week I have been unable to import videos from my computer into the iTunes library using either the drag and drop or import file methods. I am using the latest version of iTunes and a second generation iPod touch.
I have tried using file formats: wmv, av1, mpeg & mp.4 but all refuse to load into the library. To test I have changed a file name of a video that was successfully loaded into the library a while ago and this file also refuses to load. I have also used 'Smart FLV Converter' to convert the files to 'MP4 for iPod' and this converted file also cannot be imported. All of the files play OK from the desktop.
Any suggestions as to how to overcomne this problem would be appreciated

I don't know if this helps but my iTunes was crashing everytime I tried to add a file located in the "My videos" folder. I moved the files to "My Music" Folder and had no problems. Seems like a simple/stupid solution but it worked for me. I still don't know why it wasn't allowing me to do it in the first place.

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.

Putting videos into iTunes library

For some reason, my iTunes doesn't recognize .avi or other video files except for .mpg ones and it doesn't put them in the library. I have currently 3 video's, all .mpg. Can you help me please?

The problem is indeed that by default iTunes only supports videos that are MPEG4 or MOV. However, there is a tool available, VideoDrive, which allows you to add all current video formats (including AVI) WITHOUT reconversion. The tool simply adds a small pointer file in your iTunes library, pointing to your AVI file. Problem fixed! And you can keep your videos on any (external) drive you like.
The tool also adds cover art (so your videos appear with DVD covers in Cover flow in iTunes) and metadata info about your movies and TV Shows. I use it almost every day to add new content to iTunes (we don't have videos in the iTunes store over here)
The tool is available at www.aroona.net (only for Mac OS X)

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?

I cant add music videos to itunes library of itunes version 10.7

I am using itunes version 10.7. I am unable to add music videos into Itunes library. The Movies section remains blank when i select a music video and add it to library.

Why you open a new thread for questions which where answered already 100 times...and do nou use the search option???
But quickly:
1. The IPOD Video needs the right video format
2. There a dozends of 3rd party SW solutions available to convert almost every format into the IPOD Video compatible format - some of them are freeware - use e.g. Google to find some.

Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

Hello all.
I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
(a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
(b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
(c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
(I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
1) Anyone else have this problem?
2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
3) Anyone know a solution?
(FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
Thanks.
(Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
(Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
(I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
[Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]

UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).
# Source Mozilla #Songs Result
1 CD Closed 1 OK
2 iTunes Closed 1 OK
3 Amazon Open 2 OK
4 iTunes Open 1 FAIL
5 Amazon Open 1 OK
6 iTunes Closed 1 OK
7 Amazon Open 2 OK
8 iTunes Open 2 OK
(I reported this to SS. Hoping they'll test and find the problem.)

How to load BBC MP4 DRM video into iTunes?

Can BBC MP4 DRM protected files be played in iTunes? I don't seem to be able to import a downloaded BBC video into iTunes.
Sometimes I see files called M4v or something like that which I don't understand. My downloaded file suffix is mp4.

Place a copy of the file in <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes. If iTunes knows what to do with it then it will be added to the library. However if the DRM has been applied via BBC iPlayer then the chances are that iTunes cannot authorize or play it.

How to delete video from iTunes library? del and shift+del are not working - no any reaction

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

After downloading music and dragging into iTunes I end up with multiple copies of the album on my hard drive. I do have the "copy files into iTunes library" checked. When I try to erase one of the copies I end up with red ! in iTunes library.

Please Help! After downloading an album and dragging it into itunes I end up having multiple copies of the album on my hard drive. I do have (under Itunes preferences, advanced) copy songs into itunes library "checked". I'm sure this is the reason for the multiple copies. When I try to delete one of the copies of the album and go back to itunes and try playing a song, I get a red exclamtion point next to the song with an error message saying itunes cannot locate file. My questions are, Does Itunes literally make a copy of the song? If so , How do you know which file to delete?

Sony's own entertainment software on the Vaio plays merry **** with iTunes, worse there's no telling when it will kick in.
First head over to the Sony Vaio site and get the update for the software, that will stop it from messing with the iTunes database/library files when you connect your iPod.

With that stopped you can add the music back without fear of this happening again.
