File won't upload to my iTunes. Help?

Ok. I've been using my CD's and downloads to add my music to iTunes.
When I go to add it, it usually goes as normal. It usually lets me put as many songs as I want on a file to add to iTunes.
But today it screwed up.
Whenever I try adding the file, an error window pops up.
------>> Attempting to copy to the disk "C:\" failed. The file name was invalid or too long. <<------ is what it says.
I tried deleting some songs off the playlist, and it still didnt work.
I checked the file, and it should be fine.
I even cleaned up my C:\ drive for nothing.
Help please?

My "Pages" files won't upload

My pages files won't upload to my university site ever since I upgraded it about a week ago. Everytime I try to upload it the files that I created with pages are shown below. Has anyone else had this problem?

Some files won't upload; Others will

I'm having problems uploading certain mp3 files to my iPod mini.
In general, the mini seems to be working just fine but there are some files that have been part of my library for several years that won't upload. The same files will open and play properly on iTunes and other software.
These files were originally loaded and currently reside on an external HD as mp3 files. When I do a "GET INFO" they come up as MPEG Movies. If I add the .mps extension to the end of the file name and do a "GET INFO" they come up as mp3 files but still wont load into my iPOD mini.
I can do a "convert to mp3" in iTunes and the newly converted mp3s will work properly (that is they will upload to the mini.) This is a possible solution however, I have in the neighborhood of 2500 albums in mp3 format and it appears that about a third of them fall into the catagory described above. It's taken years to convert my entire music collection and I'd like to avoid having to do it again
Any ideas about what might be going on.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may need to convert them all. Just highlight the songs and then convert them. (Highlight the affected songs and hold your mouse down over one. The menu should pop up and you can go to convert selection.) It should be a one time thing.

Downloaded Snow Leopard and now mp3 files won't play or open.. help!

Once I updated my system to Snow Leopard, my downloaded mp3 files won't transfer to iTunes or even play in general, they used to automatically download into my iTunes. Is there a specific setting I need to change?

What happens when you try to play in iTunes? Do you get any error messages? Can you play the mp3s in Quicktime or VLC?
If you want iTunes to play your mp3s, the setting for that is inside iTunes Preferences.
Have you tried repairing permissions and restarting your computer?

i've downloaded from different browers heaps of times and i tried to use an older setup file version of itunes and still the same thing
can anyone please help, i have no idea what could be going wrong!???
thanx

Normally it is not a good idea to put your PowerBook to sleep whilst there are external drives still attached. It is best to eject/unmount any external peripherals prior to putting the PB to sleep. What is also not a good idea is to force it to shutdown in the manner you have described.
The first thing I would try is a PMU reset.

CSS files won't upload to server after update

Hi,
I checked 'Automaticaly upload files to server on save'
But it when I make changes to the css in the css panel or in the file,
the css file is never put on the server. Even if I open the css file and save it,
it still doesn't get put on the server, I have to specificaly click the 'put' icon and choose put.
This is VERY inconveinient.
HELP.
When I make a change to the css in the css panel or in the file and click save or save all, the
css file should be put on the testing server.

Actually this is working as intended.
You don't mention what version of DW you are using but when making your changes and you have the css file selected in the related files across the top of your page - the css page will indeed upload on save if you have it set that way. If you have the main layout selected and you change an external css file you will notice that an asterisk is placed beside the css file in the related files. Even hitting save at that point won't save the css file and upload it unless you actually have the css file selected when you hit save.

Specific mp3 files won't add to the iTunes library

First off, thanks if you try help me.
I ran into a problem a while ago where 10 songs in the album "In Rainbows" by Radiohead simply wouldn't play in iTunes but had previously played without a hitch in the past. These songs were downloaded through radiohead's site and were not DRM'd and were all mp3s encoded at 160 kbps. Strangely enough, the songs continued to play just fine on my iPod. Anyway, I thought I would just try to remove the songs from the library and bring them back just to see if it helps at all. To my dismay, none of the songs would even populate the iTunes library no matter what I did, I tried using File>Add folder to library, File>Add file to library, and even simply dragging the songs over, but all to no avail.
At this point I tried to reinstall iTunes, but this didn't fix the problem either, but strangely I don't think that the xml file (or whatever the **** iTunes uses) that contains information about the library was removed because all of my other songs were listed in the library as soon as I started iTunes after the uninstall-reinstall.
I'm really perplexed now, as the songs all play fine in Quicktime, VLC, and WMP, but don't seem to want to work with iTunes. I was thinking it might be an iTunes-Vista problem, but I'm not sure.
Sorry for the extremely long post, I'm just trying to provide any useful information.

Hey, I found a way to fix this from a post in another thread. I downloaded a program to remove the id3 tags (just google id3 tag remover), removed them all, then added the files to itunes. No problems so far, but who knows if they'll mysteriously stop working again.

I've been using iMovie '09 for more than a year and now .MTS files won't upload?

I've been using iMovie '09 for more than a year and each time I would plug in my SD card (using a card reader) the import box would open and I could select the clips I wanted to work with. Now, suddenly, today the import box won't open. Why??? I literally just used the exact same method three weeks ago and it worked fine. I have not done anything differently. Also, when I go to "file > import from camera" it only shows the built-in camera. What am I doing wrong? And how do I get my files? I do not want to download a converter of any time. I know there has to be a way because it literally just worked three weeks ago so I'm just trying to figure out why it won't work now.

Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade to Safari 5 or 6 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 and that is what you need to access iCloud (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759). I am not sure, but maybe you can install another and newer browser version of Firefox or Chrome to access iCloud.

Hi, My 4th Gen touch won't upload music from itunes library. It says they have been transfered on itunes but there is no content? Had to go to Authorised Apple repair store to reinstal OS after it had frozen..now this!

I seem to have had the same problem as several people after the recent iOS update. My iPod touch said it needed to update..and then when that hung for about 6 hours, it wanted to restore repeatedly. Had to take it to have the iOS installed (x2) at an approved service centre (worked fine on their Mac). Now when connected to iTunes, iTunes says it's transfered music files across, but they're empty folders or corrupted. The tracks play fine on my PC, so I assume that the files are okay. Any suggestions why my touch doesn't want to download from iTunes?

Plug the iPod into the computer. This solves all three.

File won't upload to Export PDF

I purchased Export PDF and none of my documents will load from my computer to be converted. I just get the big blue spinner of death.

How do you initiate ExportPDF - from Adobe Reader, or directly on the https://exportpdf.acrobat.com/ website?

Is there way to sync mp3 files that won't upload to iTunes Match?

Let me briefly explain. I subscribe to iTunes Match. This works great except that there are a few large mp3 files (i.e., lectures) that won't upload to iTunes Match. I need to get those files on my iPhone or iPad. With iTunes Match on, all the uploaded music is synced but not those files. With iTunes Match off, I can easily add those files. How can I get these files to sync to the device and still use iTunes Match for all the rest of my music?

You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

Uploading files from windows media player to itunes need help!

Some of the files WMA are protected some are not. When I uploaded itunes real player files transfered to itunes. How would I go in to change the settings in windows to unprotect the files to have them transfered to itunes. Help please

iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.
