Converting Files into iTunes

I recently installed iTunes and the program transfered over my music from My music folder into iTunes it also started converting file types over. I had to stop the process of converting the file types and iTunes didn't completely convert all my files. How do I tell it to finish?
Thanks
Alexis

Just read other articles re: livewire or what eveer it is. I went to add/remove programs and immediately got rid of it. I'm not sure how it got there and have talked to other users of my computer aboutit.
Was able to copy some of my songs (some of my own compositons from midi device even) but after update ipod, couldn't transfer more songs next time I tried.

  • How do i add videos to iphone?? i have tried all the convertors but still its not happening!! ..i cannot add or drag the converted file into itunes?? can someone please help me soon and suggest me some good video convertors for adding videos to my phone??

    someone lease help me with this. for the past two days i have been hitting my head for this !!

    Glad they finally added a "Home Videos" tag, but wish that it was a compeltely separate category like Music, Movies, TV Shows. Still have all my home videos tagged as a "TV Show" with track numbers to keep them in order, disc number x of 12 to indicate the month, and season used to indicate the year. Has worked nicely for years but every new version of iTunes I hope (and have suggested) that they will separate this out.
    A real way to maintain home movie metadata and organization would be much appreciated. Giving Home Videos as a tab within Movies is a start, but doesn't recognize the fact that these kinds of videos are completely different from "Movies." People scroll through or look for movies by name, home videos by date or event (more like iPhoto organizes things). Nobody wants to hunt for baby's first steps in a big alphabetical list somewhere between "The Avengers" and "Willy Wonka."

  • Import Files into iTunes: Why not mp3?

    I created a simple workflow and saved it as a Finder plug-in. Two questions:
    1) Anyone know why iTunes allows (under +Add to Library+) the import of mp3 files, but when creating an Automator workflow using the +Import Files into iTunes+, the mp3 option is not supported. In other words, you have to use a different Automator function like +Add Songs to Playlist+. This works too, but it takes a long time because iTunes has to convert each file to AAC. The +Add to Library+ function in iTunes is wicked fast, and I don't care what format the files are in.
    2) After creating a Finder plug-in and wanting to delete it, where does it live? I can't find it. Spotlight can't find it. I just want to remove it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, red. It seems that +Import Audio Files+ supports mp3, but the description on the +Import Files into iTunes+ doesn't specifically include mp3. I suppose a quick test will reveal. The original reason for the question is that the Automator workflow seems to force a conversion of each mp3 file -- even when choosing the mp3 option in +Import Audio Files+ -- which obviously slows down the process.
    When from iTunes I choose Add to Library, navigate to the target folder and click OK, iTunes completes the 80-or-so files in no time.
    Thanks for the tip on where to find the plug-in. I deleted it. The Automator desktop apps seem to work better.

  • How to import Flac files into itunes

    Hi there,
    the title say it all. How can I import Flac files into Itunes?
    I have a lot of them. I click onto add to library select the flac file, click on open and nothing happen.
    Many thanks for your help.
    regards

    Hello CESNET the best bet is to try http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ I myself don't use Flac files but to any audiophile it's important to hear sound at it's best. Also WAV or AIFF & ALAC you will need to use http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html to convert into ALAC.
    P.S. their is also a simple FLAC player but can't remember it one more thing converting FLAC to WAV will not give you full TAGs. Best bet is to try just one file you've copied ether straight into iTunes or convert & see what's best for you.

  • Importing WMA files into itunes 4

    Is there a way to import my windows WMA files into itunes 4 on my mac? I tried upgrading to the new itunes but the system upgrade of 10.4.9 slowed it down to where it would barely run so I have to keep it with the older version of 10.4.

    Ok, I upgraded to itunes 8 and still can't import the WMA files. It says it is importing for a while then just quits. I have over 10gb of music files in WMA format and they are all sorted into folders. Is there a free program to bulk convert all of them to M4A formats so itunes will work with them?

  • Putting video files into itunes

    I've tried again and again, but I cannot get my video files into itunes.
    It wont work with my .avi files, my .wmv ones or anything apart from MPEGs.
    If someone knows of some way I can convert my files into a compatible one, or any other options available to me?
    Nick

    iTunes (or Quicktime) doesn't play back avi's by default. There are some workarounds, which may or may not work (I have mixed experiences).
    First of all, install Perian for Quicktime. This allows you to play most video&audio formats which QT doesn't play by default (except windows media & real media).
    From here you have 3 options:
    1. Install Xcode. Then, in terminal do this:
    +SetFile -t "MooV" YourTarget.avi+
    This tells your Mac that it's a movie. You'll have to navigate in terminal to your file though.
    Then just drag & drop into iTunes.
    *2. & 3.* Open your movie in Quicktime Pro and save it as a QuickTime Movie (either referenced or self-contained). There also is an "utility", movie2itunes, which does the referencing automatically & you don't need QT Pro. Again, just drag&drop into iTunes.
    Note:
    - Most of the time this works for me (I'm using movie2itunes). Recently I've gotten some files which don't work in iTunes, but do in QT.
    - There is no such "cheat" for iPods, you'll have to convert.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • New to Imac,music file into itunes

    Hi,Transferred my itunes folder from pc into new imac, using dvd,added to library,i drag file into itunes and it does nothing, sorry very new to this

    It would be easier to answer if you use the word "iTunes" to refer to the application, and "songs" to refer to the tracks themselves, otherwise it is confusing.
    The reason why iTunes still "sees" your songs is that the database files are still there even if you manually trashed the songs themselves. You need to start over IF you added no NEW music in iTunes on the new machine :- trash the iTunes folder in Music on the new iMac (iTunes should not be running).
    Next, link the two computers via their FireWire ports, then start the old iMac in Target Disk Mode (hold the T key down while it is booting). The old iMac will then appear on your new iMac's desktop. Start iTunes on your new iMac, check "Copy songs to iTunes..." in Preferences. Then using Add to Library... point to your old Music Folder which is in the old iMac (and which you can access just as if it was an external HD).
    If you had Protected (DRM) tracks on the old computer, you will need to Authorise your new machine in iTunes in order to play them.

  • "Import Files into iTunes" automator action not working

    I'm having an issue with a simple automator action, "Import Files into iTunes". It's the only thing I have in the workflow but when I drop audio files onto the application, the action encounters an error. In trying to figure out what was amiss, I read that there was a version number conflict after iTunes 10, so I followed the instructions here but they did not fix the issue. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to try or how to diagnose the issue? I'm running Yosemite (10.10.2) and iTunes 12.1.0.50. Thanks for the help!

    Yeah, I'd happy provide details if I saw them. The message itself just says, "The action “Import Files into iTunes” encountered an error." Is there a way to get more information on the error?
    Thanks!

  • Import Files into iTunes

    I've tried creating 4 or 5 different workflows and can not get the "Import Files into iTunes" action to work. This is only part of a bigger workflow that I want to create, but it's one of the most important steps that I can't seem to make work.
    There is no error in the Automator log, it shows the action completed. But nothing gets added.
    Can someone confirm that this action does indeed work in Snow Leopard 10.6.2 ?
