Had to reinstall OS and Itunes..Will not import songs from library folder

I reinstalled my Windows 7 OS and Installed Itunes 10.6 but when I add my ipodmusic folder to the library it does not import the songs into the library. I tries dragging and dropping a few songs but it deletes them from the folder.
Any ideas?

I think I'm having the same problem. This is what I get when I try to import songs:
The iPod “Ian” is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this I Pod with those from this library?
Yes No
What is this about? My buddy accidentally hit yes, and lost all of the songs on his iPod. I simply want to update my iPod with new material. This new material was obtained while using a different computer than what I originally used when I first got my iPod. Does anyone know how I can get music from a new computer on my iPod

My itunes will not import songs from a cd. When i put the cd in usually itunes recognizes it and starts importing them but now it doesn't do anything. How can i get it to import cds again?!

please help

See if it will import a CD using Windows Media Player.
That will tell us if it is a system problem with the whole PC, or just a problem with itunes.

ITunes will not load songs from CDs in order especially like Broadway musicals. How do I fix?

I have tried to load music from several of my CD and the songs are not in the same order in ITunes as on the CD. This occurs when there are different artists on the CD such as Reba Duets and
Broadway musicals. Broadway musicals are especially important since the music tells a story. How can I load a CD into ITunes and keep the order of songs the same as the CD? Thank you.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

ITunes will not Import Songs

So, I'm on my cousin's Windows laptop, and he wants me to put the songs back onto his computer from his iPod. However, not being very technical, he did not realize that the songs were still on his Hard Drive.
So I found the songs on the HDD, and then in iTunes 7 I went to File>Add to Folder to Library, then I told it to add the folder to iTunes. It appeared to be registering (going through all the songs really fast, like sensing em, you know).
Anyways, sure enough, they did not show up in iTunes. So, I went and tried to add one of the subfolders to iTunes. That did not work either.
I am wondering what should I do? Should I add the songs from his iPod back onto another place on his Hard Drive and just try to import those songs? Or do I not have to bother and I'm just missing one little thing to get the current songs into iTunes?
Thanks for the help! I appreciate it!

Well, I just imported the songs from the iPod back onto the computer and added those to the library. For whatever reason, it worked!

Itunes 8 will not import songs from audio CD

I have windows Vista and a brand new Dell computer. I installed the latest version of Itunes 8. Itunes recognizes the CD, gets the gracenotes and track names but as soon as I hit the import CD button ITunes freezes and stops responding. Diagnostics show no problem. Windows Media center has no problem "ripping" songs from the CD so there is no permission problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and get the same problem. HELP

depending on personal preference it's best to rip through windows media player. itunes searches the my music folder (where all riped windows media goes)and updates from there anyway. and that way if i tunes crashes for any reason you still have a back up of the songs. you can also update from windows media by clicking "add folder to library" and selecting the folder out of the my music sectoion. your only other bet is to backup any music currently on itunes, uninstall then re-install.

Itunes/Nano will not import songs from windows

Please help me! I can't get all of my songs from the media player onto the Itunes/nano.

what exactley is your problem? Getting songs into iTunes or putting them on your iPod?

ITunes has lock symbol; iPod will not update songs from library

My iTunes has a lock symbol next to remaining space area. Also, the remaining space says that there is 1.4GB of spaced used up even though there are no songs in the iPod folder or on the iPod itself. I have tried resetting the ipod and tried to copy and paste the songs over to the ipod folder with no luck. It says "updating files" for a split second but stops and nothing is actually moved over.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
You could restore the iPod to be sure the hard drive is completely erased.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Ipod will not update songs from library

I recently purchased a 60GB Ipod video. Before that, I had a 3rd generation Ipod with Itunes 4.1. Once I purchased the new Ipod, I updated my Itunes and installed the new Ipod on my PC.
When I sync the Ipod, everything appears normal at first. Then, two seconds later, the screen says Ipod update complete. Meanwhile, nothing from the library has synced to the Ipod. I have to drag and drop every song onto the Ipod. This is fine for now since I am updating every song. In the future, I can see this being a problem since I will have to remember what I loaded onto Itunes and drop it onto the Ipod. Can anyone help me figure out what needs to be done to get Itunes and Ipod to work together correctly?
I apologize for the long message, but my old Ipod worked just fine and dealing with this is very frustrating! Any help would be appreciated.

ITunes does not import songs from CD

When I tried to import mp3 formatted songs into itunes, i get the following message: +An error occurred while trying to import the file "Track 1." The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file.+ This has never happened before. How do I fix this?

I just connected a new external cd/dvd drive and am having the same problem. Is your player working now, and if so what did you do to resolve the problem?
Thanks!

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.

iDevices can only be synched with one library. However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file). The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other. When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine. Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes. When you see this prompt:
select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops.

Best route here is to uninstall iTunes completely using the Windows Control Panel.
Make sure you know exactly which version of Win 7 you're running.
Restart your computer from cold (with no iTunes).
Go to Apple website and download the correct version for your operating system. Install following Apple prompts.
Once installed, close iTunes.
Restart your computer from cold (with new iTunes).
Start iTunes - all should be operating well! Good luck ...

TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is 'stuck'...any suggestions?

Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

HT1351 I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When i hooked up my ipod it didnt automatically sync my songs on my ipod with the library. How do I do this manually?

iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchsed from the iTunes Store).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. (Going forward, you should use a backup strategy, and include your iTunes data in what gets backed up. Then, you would be able to recover your complete iTunes library, including things like playlists and ratings.)
