Cant add any file to itunes from media player

i have tried dragging songs into library and tried using the add to library option and nothing at all happens, the songs play fine in media player... please help!! very frustrated

I assume that you mean the Windows Media Player.
Well, if those files are in .wma format, AND also Protected. Then iTunes can't handle them. Unprotected .wma files can be imported/added to iTunes - however iTunes needs to convert them to either .mp3, aac, aiff or apple lossless. (Depending on your import settings)

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

I cant upload any file to internet from MacBook ?

Hi evreone
I cant upload any file to internet from mac (safari or firefox)
I can't upload for example photo to Facebook and attachments file to any web site
When I open the window to choose which files
I can not select the files appear transparent

Hi! So I had the same problem... I don't know if you still have it but here goes a possible solution: When you open the window to select the file, at left side of the folder selector you will see a view option. Select it and choose "None".

I hope this will help you :-)

Cant add music files to iTunes

Hi there. I have iTunes version 9.0.2.25 and unable to add music files to the existing list. I recently formatted my computer for a fresh start (which I have done previously with no iTunes issue), re-added the folder I have all my music in for iTunes but the new files won't add. It adds the 443 music files that I had on iTunes prior to formatting my computer but won't add any new single files when I use File -> Add file etc. as I did originally before the format.
I have googled the issue and there are a lot of people with the same problem but the forums have no answers.
Could somebody please help me with this problem as it is on my iPhone 3G which is an integral part of my work and public time.
Regards
Ross

I'm having the problem of not being able to add any of my files/folders. And **** will freeze over before i do CDs again. Everytime I upgrade iTunes I have this problem. And I only upgrade when I get a new computer. I can import a CD, but I can't import files or folders from my hard drive.

You don't add media (other than music) to your device by dragging. It's by synching.

Cant add .avi files into itunes

as above..
i have been clicking n dragging n it doesnt work..
it opens fine in quicktime pro though..

iTunes can't handle .avi files. If you have Quicktime Pro and are able to open them with it, you should also be able to convert to something more palatable using the Export function.

Cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

Since you don't say why it won't install, here is what I have found to work on a Vista machine, 32-bit:
Download but do not install iTunes file from Apple site
Stop anti-virus and firewall
Restart computer
Login as Admin
Run iTunes installation
Turn anti-virus and firewall on
Restart and login as regular user
Vista likes to leave a lot of installers running in the background even when they finish and that interfers with the iTunes installer.

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).

I can't add music files to iTunes

Since 10.4 I can't add music files to iTunes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
iTunes seems to scan and add them in gray, but fails to add the files to iTunes.
My exact problem is described over here: http://www.betalogue.com/2011/07/25/itunes104-addingfiles/
Any ideas?

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
Go ▹ Computer
from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section?

Cannot Add Any Music to iTunes Windows 8

I just got a brand new computer with Windows 8. I moved everything that was on my previous laptop to this one, including all of my music, books, and videos. I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it will not add any music to my library. My library is always empty and has the buttons to go the the iTunes Store and/or Scan For Music. I cannot add any files to the library. After I click on the file that I want to add, nothing happens. I can't even transfer my previously purchased music from my iPad to my library. Again, nothing happens.The only thing I have been able to transfer were my books that were on my iPad. No music, no apps, no videos. This is my second day working on this problem. I have used iTunes for years and have always been able to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, selected myself as administrator on the computer, troubleshooted compatibility issues, and tried multiple diagnostic runs. If someone could help me find a way to fix this, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Use Windows to go to your folders and find one of the problem files. Right-click it, and choose Open With > iTunes. If the file is compatible with iTunes, it will be added to the library and start playing. If nothing happens, the file is incompatible.

Im trying to import music from widows media player to itunes, but when i delete the music from media player itunes can no longer locate it, i just want the music saved to itunes so its not taking up double the space.

I am having trouble transfering music from windowns media player to itunes. If i delete the music from windows media player itunes cant locate the song.

I have many thousands of songs in my itunes library. Unfortunately, most are now pointing toward .jpgs instead of the m4a files in my itunes library. Is there anyway to fix this without reimporting all the files into itunes from scratch??

OMG...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Since my computer is a goner, I don't have any other way to access all that music.

Putting music from Media Player into iTunes???

So....I just recently bought my Nano. I have lots of songs on my computer (that I put on there from my CDs) in Windows Media Player 10. When I connected to iTunes (to put music on my iPod) some of my previous songs from Media Player were put into iTunes, yet there are still LOTS of songs not in the iTunes Library. And I don't think that they didn't transfer because they are "protected", it has to be something else. I've tried dragging, copying, nothing is 'allowed'. I've gone to about every window, menu, and help/support site in both iTunes and Windows Media Player. This is almost a last resort.
Thank you SO much if you have ANY information at all!!!

I'm having the same problem, can someone help us?????
