Getting WMV and MVI files to itunes.And ipod
I recently filmed a video of a family event. And wanted to transfer the video to Itunes. The original file extension was mvi. but i also changed the file to wmv. But, itunes would not allow me to import or click and drag into my library. Any Help?
iTunes cannot play WMV or MVI files (nor, BTW, can you change a format just by changing the filename extension). You'll need to convert the video to a format iTunes can handle. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads with suggestions as to utilities you can use to do the conversion.

I tried to update iTunes with the latest version and I got a message saying that - MSVCR80.dll was not installed. I think I successfully installed that through an online help website but I now get R6034 - C\Program Files(x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?
If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it. -
After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account
Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

When I try to open a pdf file I get the message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I've downloaded the latest reader, but that has made no difference. I use a Mac 10.8.2. Any suggestions or info?
Does this happen with every PDF file or a specific one ? Maybe the file is really damaged.

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders. I would really appreciate help!
Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

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.

Can't drag and drop files in iTunes 7.6
I've suddenly lost the ability to drag and drop files in iTunes, so I can't change the order of items within a playlist, move tracks from one playlist to another, or move a selection of tracks to an external drive. When I click & hold on a track, nothing happens at all; if you try to drag the file it doesn't move then bounce back - just no reaction at all. One day it worked fine, next time I launched iTunes the problem appeared. I'd had 7.6 up and running for about a month without this problem, and had no other software downloads or updates immediately before the problem appeared. I'd not changed any iTunes preferences either.
I've checked that lefthand column in the playlist is selected, & that shuffle is turned off, & I'm not trying to move things into a smart list. I've tried trashing the com.apple plist, and repairing disk permissions. My iTunes library lives on an external hard drive, but this hasn't been an issue before. Drag and drop still works fine in other apps, so I don't suppose it's a mouse or Finder issue.
I see a few other people have posted about this, but I haven't seen any solutions yet that worked for me. Am I missing something blindingly obvious? If anyone's got any ideas on this one I'd be eternally grateful - the ability to move things around easily was one of the main attractions of iTunes for me.Thanks David - that wasn't it, but I have managed to find a fix after trawling through various forums - I logged out then logged back in. Simple as that! Sadly I'm still none the wiser as to what caused the problem in the first place, so don't know if or when it'll reoccur. I also found it was affecting iPhoto after I first posted, so not an iTunes specific problem obviously. Thanks to all those who posted fixes in various forums, though some looked a little too scary for me to try out...

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.
Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?
The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

i downloaded the latest update ios 7.0.4 and update my iphone 5, but to my surprise i couldnt locate the downloaded file on itunes and i've also checked my itunes folder, still cant see the file. pls anybody who can help.
The downloaded file is probably stored at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates. In general it is probably best to "download and install" updates than download and then install later. Note that you cannot revert to the older firmware if you don't like the update, even if you have the old .ipsw files.

I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open
I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open...help!
If you're downloading Pages from the iTunes App Store you're not getting the Mac version, just the iOS version for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch. They are two separate applications for two different operating systems. To get Pages for your Mac you need to go to the Mac App Store. Either click the icon in the Dock or click on the Apple icon at the top left of your screen & choose App Store.

okay not sure how this works so here i go again.
Okay i bought a dell pc with windows 8 (big mistake) i downloaded itunes and from my external hard drive, right clicked a movie file (in ipad format, because this worked in vista on my old laptop) and it will not go into itunes. And itunes keeps crashing. Is there a glitch with win 8 and itunes ? I never had this prob with vista. I would right click a file and say open with itunes and poof it goes in the library. Please help before i throw this thing out the window! OH newest itunes is what i have installed.Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit. Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off. For about $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics. As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation. I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!
Bucktr09:
I'm having the exact same problem. I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen. I can get my library content but the store is a no go. Is there any one out there with a solution?
