How to add music/files to itunes?

I reanctly found my old music on a flash drive. I have been trying to add the files to itunes, but it is not working. I am going through the normal procedure, bu adding files to libary, but nothing is happening... Would be great if someone could give me some advice! Beth

Beth,
When iTunes encounters a file that is not compatible it "errors silently," which looks to the user exactly like "nothing is happening." So I'm guessing that the files you found are either in a format not compatible with iTunes, or else are corrupted, more likely the former.
Do they play OK in another player, such as QuickTime or VLC?

How to add audio file to iTunes when iMatch is on.

I subscribe to iMatch but have found that certain audio files (talks) are ineligible for cloud storage. I want to add these files to my device but on earlier versions of iTunes I wasn't able to add the files unless iMatch was turned off. Now I don't seem to be able to add them at all. Any ideas?
Kirstenfromseattle

To be mirrored in the cloud audio files must meet certain requirements. They must be at least 96Kbps and less than 200 MBs in size. Most "audio files" of the kind you describe are less than 96 Kbps so are ineligible to me uploaded to the iTunes Match cloud. You'll need to make the Media Kind something other than Music (which they shouldn't be anyway, since they are not music files) like Podcast. Then you will be able to sync the tracks to your iOS device via USB/Thunderbolt.
You can use an OS X app such as Subler to set the Media Kind before you add the file to the iTunes library.

I am not able to add mp4 files to itunes library

None of the answers provided is the correct one.
The correct one is: reinstall quicktime and it will work

I Have been using, Ipad for only around a month or so (Ipad 2), and it was only yesterday that i tried to use the Itunes. I first downloaded the latest itunes (10.7.0.21), and took backup of all my Ipad data.
After this, I wanted to add some video to my ipad, as it was essential to add the same to My itunes first, I roceeded to do just that. I went through this command {File - Add File to Library}, and then went on to select the Video file. There's just a flicker, and then nothing happens at all - the itune screen remains, and there is no error message too. Whereas, I can easily add Audio Files.
After this, I even downaload the latest Quick time (7.7.2), as I had read somewhere that the same is necessary. When I tried to open the Video file in Quick time, it did not open. After that I downloaded the codec DivX and DivX player. Though the Video plays in DivX, it refuses to open in Itune and does not play properly in Quicktime (slider moves, but sound and video is not there).
Frankly, I am utterly confused.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

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"

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.

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library.

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library. why?

YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
HAve written to Transmit for their input.

How to add (move) file (song) to Media library without a copy being left behind?

A followup to my questions from yesterday. I seem to have fixed the database/folder issues. But here's the lingering problem:
For years, up until yesterday in fact, I had a standard, simple method of adding (non-itunes-purchased) files to my iTunes library. I had created a folder out in the iTunes root folder named "NEW". I opened iTunes, went to File>Add File To Library, navigated to my NEW folder and added them from there.
When I did that, iTunes placed them and organized them into my library and removed them entirely from the NEW folder. That way I could glance at my NEW folder and see if I had anything to import.
NOW after some settings resets and a bunch of hassles in the past few days, suddenly when I add a file from NEW into the iTunes library, it is COPYING the file, not moving it. If I uncheck the "Copy..." box inside Preferences>Advanced all it does is POINT the osng at the one in the NEW folder without putting it in the iTunes library at all.
So my only options seem not to be "Copy" the file into iTunes (leaving behind the original which I have to manually delete)
or
Not copy, where iTunes just uses the file in its location in the NEW folder which also doesn't help me.
How can I get back to having it move the file, and reorganize it into the library and not leave a copy behind?

If your "New" folder is inside the currently designated iTunes Media folder then when you add the files to iTunes they can be moved to their new locations without leaving copies behind. If the folder lives outside the iTunes Media folder and you have Copy to iTunes Media folder when adding to library selected then copies will be created. 'twas ever thus, so I suspect a chance change in the location of your "New" folder is responsible for the apparent change in behaviour.
If you leave Copy to... turned off then you can add in files from outside of the media folder and have them moved without leaving copies behind using the ConsolidateByMoving script as opposed to iTunes own "consoidate files" command, though I would think that working with "New" inside iTunes Media, or the Automatically add... folder is a lot less effort.

How to add .m4r files from my computer to my tones in iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.1 ?

How to add .m4r files from my computer to my tones in iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.1 ?

You've sycned other content via your computer's iTunes to the phone ?
You can sync photos to your phone via your computer's iTunes : connect your phone to your computer, click on its icon towards the top left of the iTunes screen, and select Photos on the left-hand side of the screen :
Photos that you sync from a computer can't be deleted directly in the phone's Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you will need to include all photos that you want from your computer in each photo sync.

Can't add m4a files in itunes

When I try to add m4a files in itunes it did not add it. Please help how can I add m4a files in itunes.

Further info: my housemate just drop-boxed (mac to mac) a few of his albums that work fine in his iTunes and the same thing, they'll show in a playlist with their correct details but not in the main library. iTunes is definitely processing after I add them, and they are definitely not corrupt (shown MP3 scan +repair) - I've attached a couple of pictures to clarify.
Please help! I'm a bit OCB about my music being organised correctly I'll admit!

I can't import mp4 files onto itunes

i tried several times to import my mp4 files onto itunes but failed everytime. how to overcome this?

1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
3) Select Properties
4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
5) Click Change
6) Select ITunes
7) Select Always for this type checkbox
8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

When I add m3u files to itunes it crashes mac

When i add m3u files to itunes 11 it crashes and i'm forced to force quit. Would realy appreciate help as i have lots of files to add and some folders contain m3u files as well as mp3 and mp4 files.

Well, you can send a report to Apple and ask them to fix iTunes. Then sit back and wait... and wait... and wait, and maybe in a version or two they will look at the issue (or maybe not) because .m3u isn't something in daily use with iTunes so it probably isn't a high priority (posts by only 3 people in almost 2 months). Or you can remove the m3u files or look at them more closely and see if there is something about them causing this. I use an old iTunes (version 7.5) and adding .m3u is annoying but not calamatous so maybe the issue is something new. It usually is just a file pointing to the files I just added anyway so if I did so by dragging to a playlist it can generate duplicates. If I catch onto them first I trash them.

How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
I have read this tutorial:
http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not. Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia. Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.
