Cant import music to itunes from my library

i've been trying to import music from my computer library to itunes to free up space.
when i put a cd in my comp to add it to itunes it imports fine. but if i move a song from my computer's library to itunes and then delete the song from my computer's library it says it cant be played and would i like to search for it.
do i have to save my music to a disk 1st before i can completely delete it from my comp and then import it from the disk to itunes??
thats the only thing i can think of to make it work.
some1 pleeeeease help me

What happens when you try?
You should be able to drag-and-drop a music file that is already on your computer into iTunes. As you drag the file, you should see the "link" appear in iTunes and a blue box appear around the songs list, as shown below:
Notice the blue line above the title "London can take it". This blue box will appear regardless of which "view" you are using. Here's the same thing but for a folder with several songs in it:
For File/Add song to Library, use the shortcut CTRL+O or use the ALT key, followed by F key and then the A key (that's File/Add file to Library) and navigate to the file you want.
For File/Add Folder to Library, use the ALT key, followed by the F key and then the D key (File/Add folder to Library) and navigate top the folder you want. I cannot remember the shortcut for this option.

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

How Do I Import Music Without iTunes "Organizing" My Library And Hard Drive

Each Time I Add Music to iTunes, It Rearanges My Music By Artist Tags. Both In iTunes And On My Hard Drive.
How Can I keep It from Doing This?

Thanks Very Much, I Saw This Function, And Was Not Sure If Was What I Was Looking For, Or If It Would Further Frustrate Me.
Thanks Again, And Have a Great Weekend!

How do you re-import music into itunes from computer

I just bought a new laptop and have successfully moved all of my music... 10 gigs onto my new computer. I had a problem in the middle of transferring my music and only a fourth transferred before I installed itunes. I finally finished moving the rest of the music but cant get itunes to import by pointing to the main itunes music folder. when I choose to import.. it makes me go all the way to a song folder with individual music files before it allows me to impoert. Is there any way for itunes to SEARCH for new files???
Seems like such a simple thing to do but it isnt so far.
I am beginning to hate itunes. If it were not for the $300 in downloaded itunes purchased music, I would change to Windows media player.
Can anyone please help?
I have already uninstalled itunes and reinstalled... didnt help. even my playlist I had created were still there.

another note... Itunes imported all of the first songs.. about 4 gigs into the new library. This was before I realized that all of the music did not move over to the new computer. I had A - H or something like that moved. Is there any way to make itunes search for new music?

Can't import music into itunes from a cd

=Troubleshooting CD ripping issues=
The easiest thing to check is if it is just this CD. Try another one. If others work, then it is likely the CD.
Try an alternative ripper such as XLD or Max. Even though you may not want that as the long-term solution it will at least indicate whether the problem is with iTunes or something else.
If other CDs and rippers do not work, it could be the drive itself, or the part of the computer running the hardware. For the latter some have found a SMC reset to work.

If you think it is the drive, you can try a cleaning disc (about $10 from a computer store or media store) to get rid of dust. I haven't had much success with these, though usually I am running some older machine on which I can expect a drive to die after 5 years of use.

Importing music onto iPhone from my Library?

Doesn't allow me to do it. Are we not allowed to? or am I doing something wrong?

Weird... dragging of songs onto my iPhone is the only thing that works for me. AT&T messed up the config on my SIM card during the activation process while trying to transfer my number, and now I have to return it for a new card after talking with their tech "support" for over 4 hours today.
So basically I have, literally, an iPhone Shuffle.
That said, the other 3 phones on our plan work, but do not allow songs to be dragged.

TS2972 How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

You do not have to move it as such. Here are the steps to setup HomeSharing
1) Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
2) File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share enter your apple id and password, click create
3) repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other computer and create home share using the same apple id and password
On your new machine if you have turned on the left hand sidebar the Shared Library should be about halfway down like this.
Select the songs you want and click import at the bottom right. If you want all songs then I would select one song nad Ctrl A to select all
Finally if you have a lot of songs to transfer Switch off the wifi on the old computer. Leave the wifi on the new one. Connect with an ehternet network cable. The copying speed is way faster.
Click import and grab a coffee

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes.

I cannot access my computer library on apple tv .. Although I can stream music .... No pics at all ... It used to My computer has iTunes open I am pretty sure it is on same network as apple tv My computer will stream music on iTunes from my computer but

My computer has iTunes open
I am pretty sure it is on same network as apple tv
My computer will stream music on iTunes from my computer but not
show owners library and not any pictures
In apple tv settings - AirPlay is on and so is home sharing
In my computer iTunes - home sharing is on

I get this problem every day or two when trying to connect my ATV 2 running 5.1.1 to iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.8.2 (though it started happening with earlier releases of both ATV software and iTunes. I think it started happening regularly following the installation of the ATV 5.0 software, with I think iTunes 10.6 or thereabouts.) They're connected over WiFi via an Airport Extreme basestation.
The TV simply shows a black screen with:
'Could not connect to "<iTunes library name>"'. 'Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV , the iTunes version is up to date, and iTunes is running.'
I've found the way to fix this problem when it happens is to restart the Apple TV (Settings>General>Restart). This always seems to correct it and allows me to connect to iTunes successfully once again, but the problem always returns sooner or later and I've not been able to determine what triggers it exactly. It seems to happen more often if the iMac running iTunes has been put to sleep with iTunes running and subsequently woken, but it also happens sometimes when I wake ATV and try to connect it to a freshly booted iMac and newly launched iTunes.
I keep hoping a new release of ATV software will fix it but neither 5.1 nor 5.1.1 made any noticable difference and neither have newer releases of iTunes.

I cannot import music I bought from another site into iTunes. The files are there but they won't import into Itunes. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Can't import songs to iTunes from CD

I have the same "popular" problem. I can't rip music from a cd directly to iTunes. iTunes doesn't see the cd on the cd rom drive. When I manually open the cd on iTunes through "my computer" than all it lists is track numbers. It is also not able to connect to the internet to get the titles, even though my internet connection is fine.
I am able to rip the cd's by using windows media player, no problem. Then I can import them to iTunes from there, no problem!
All my hardware drivers etc. are updated with their latest versions. It really seems like an iTunes compatibility issue. I can't beleive Apple is not aware of this problem and hasn't done anything about it!!
Here is my cd diagnostics data, maybe "toonz" or another samaritan can help!! Pleeaaasse it' very annoying. Thanks in advance!!!

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Are these CDs you burned yourself or are the commercial CDs? To get the information on commercial CDs, iTunes connects to an online database so make sure you are connected to the internet when you import. You also have to be connected to use the "Get CD track names" function. If you made the CDs then the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand: See if this helps explain things a bit better than I have: How iTunes remembers Audio CDs

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported. This occured due to Win 7 user profile was corrupt.

I know that in Mac OS X one can pick which library to use by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. What's the Windows equivalent?
Press the Shift key.
WIll the fact that the music is now on another physical drive make a difference
No.
I know the previous install is at least 7.0, but I have no idea about which point release.
Try checking the content of the iTunes Music Library.xml file.
Finally, what's the expected behaviour (or required procedure) with respect to reauthorization of this computer to use the same ITMS-purchased files?
You will be asked to reauthorize the computer.

Trying to Import music i purchased from old account to new & can't remember old account info

Trying to Import music i purchased from old account to new & can't remember old account info nor does it exsist. what to do??? thanks

This isn't really an iTunes Match questions but I'll give it a shot.
Unfortunately, you must remember the username and password for that account. If you can't you won't be able to play that protected music. There's really no way around this.
