How to import folders into itunes 11 under windows 8?

I had to reinstall itunes and have lost the media data.
All music is in a new folder and I would like to import the folder with all the subfolders and music files.
But I don't find a tool in itunes 11 (under Windows 8) to import a folder.
I can only import multiple files if they are in one folder - that will take forever ...

Thanks for this answer. I didn't trust my self to muck-around with the seettings, no matter how basic they sounded.
I'm doing the suggestion now. It's coverting everything for iTunes while I type this.
(I thought Apple had gotten snobby about it, phew! )

How to import video into iTunes?

This may be obvious to some but for the life of me I can't find out how to do it. Perhaps someone can give me a hand. The Apple documentation is incredibly vague about this topic.
I have some video files (in .wmv format, but I have a converter that can convert to other formats). I want to import them into iTunes so that I can play them on an iTouch. It shouldn't be rocket science but I can't find precise instructions on how to do it. I have the latest iTunes and OS 3.1.2 for the iTouch.
Thanks for any help.

Well with some help from a co-worker and some experimentation I finally managed to load video onto iTunes. Apparently only files of the type .mp4 and .m4v (maybe .mov also?) will work. You have to open the "Movies" panel from the "Library" tab and then drag the files over there. Try dragging any other kinds of file and iTunes will just ignore you. Is it really so hard for Apple to describe that simple procedure in Help?

I have a flash drive with 6GB of music. How to import songs into iTunes?

Foolish me, I was under the absurd impression that Apple, the company that brags non-stop about the functionality and user-friendliness of its software, would allow you to simply drag and drop music files into the iTunes window.
Oh, how stupid was I.
Drag-and-drop into iTunes? NONSENSE!!!!! That would be far too simple!
Like literally everything involving iTunes, what should be an exceedingly simple process is far more complicated.
So, how the heck do I get these 300+ songs in WMA format from my flash drive into iTunes?

The problem is actually that you are trying to import WMA files into the Mac version of iTunes. WMA files can only be imported (and subsequently converted to AAC) in the Windows version of iTunes. You also have to have a version of Windows Media Player 9 or higher on the PC.
Just an idea to throw out there. If you have access to a PC, import the songs into Windows Media Player, convert the tracks to MP3, put those on your flash drive and import to your mac.
Hope this helps.

Odd problem importing folders into iTunes

I am trying to import all my music into itunes, and it is already organised into folders of mp3's.
The problem is with compilation albums. Some seem to have an album created for every track, whilst others may have 3,4,5 or up to 8 tracks in one album, with the rest of the album tracks having their own 'album' in itunes.
Obviously this makes it manic trying to play an album on the ipod classic 160 gig, or find certain tracks.
I did try changing sort fields but that doesn't appear to have any affect at all.
Does anyone know a way around this so that "Love songs" is just one album with 20 songs inside instead of 20 seperate albums each entitled from the song?

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How to import videos into iTunes

Hello, we are new to this whole iPod world. We just bought the iPod 30gb that plays video. If we purchase a video from the music store, it works. But we have videos that were downloaded from another program that we would like to import into iTunes. When we select import file, and then chose the video file, the computer freezes. How do I fix this? Thank you in advance for any help possible.

Hi there,
I'm from Canada and am looking for help in downloading videos to my 30GB video ipod. I seem to not be able to purchase videos because I live in Canada. When I enter my address and credit card info - it notices its from Canada and won't let me download anything. Not sure what to do - support is non-existent for itunes and Apple. Any ideas? I'll look into your problem as well. Perhaps we can help one another out. THank you. Any help is appreciated.

How to import movies into itunes

Hi All,
Here i am using Ipod touch, nw i am trying to add the movies into itunes but nothing is happening when i drag the movie into itubes and even added also.
Can anyone help me on this.

Looking on the web I found that the Graboid video content needs converting. Itunes will accept mp4 or m4v.
There are many converting apps out there. Handbrake is free and has presets for Apple TV and iphone etc
Remember it is illegal to convert videos you do not have copyright to.

How to import CDs into iTunes 12 library without CD 'breaking up' into dozens of icons?

I realize this question has been asked before; however, nothing I do (according to the solutions I've read thus far) fixes these two problems described below (with examples) (BTW, using a Dell PC). I lie not when I state that I've spent HOURS on this; don't want you to think I'm a lazy assed nard who can't be bothered to look up stuff myself, but this sh** has me ready to tear my hair out.
1. Album imported from CD does not import all the songs. I receive no error message. For example, AC/DC Back in Black comes up with Tracks labeled:
1; 2; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10.
At one time, all tracks were there and "joined"; have no idea how they became "free floating." Tried ordering them in different ways (by Album, Artist, etc.) Doesn't work.
2. Tried to import a 3 CD disk ("I'm Not There" from B. Dylan movie); I get ~30 different Albums/icons in my iTune library. Tried to follow directions for joining compilation albums with different artists, but nothing works. One suggestion was to sort by track number but I've search high & low and cannot find any such command. Tried the menu, tried to hit the top of the column -- nada luck.
I know everyone has heard this before, but why, oh why does Apple insist on changing simple things for merely the sake of change?? I've always been a booster for Mac & Apple but dude, this is getting on my last nerve.
Person who bothers to read this and help me, I'll light a candle for you at church (if you're so inclined).

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

How to import songs into iTunes?

I had started to add the contents of my external hard drive to itunes a process which for some reason got interrupted. I want to import the remaining contents but cannot figure out how to do so without duplicating what I have already done as I cannot seem to "select" the files using either the "add file" or "add folder" applications. Can anyone tell me how I can add the remaining contents without having to duplicate and then remove please?
Thanks!

Thanks for this. The problem is that I cannot select more than one item using either files or folders. Bit daunted by the prospect of having to do from Iggy Pop to Zappa album by album. I would have thought I could either just tick a no box answer to the question "Do you want to add duplicate items?" and it would just sort it for me, like in Outlook, OR set the application running from Iggy Pop and it would automatically copy over everything as far as Zappa. Are my expectations just too high? (Thanks for the pointer re subject line - sorry, first post on here).

How to import Vinyl into itunes

I have loads of music on vinyl and would like to get it onto my computer/itunes. Anyone have any suggestions?
I understand this process maybe long and tedious, I am prepared.

There is a clever little box called Creative Soundblaster 24bit external which converts your vinyl tracks onto computer. I bought mine at Argos for £39.99 and it works a treat. It does a lot more too, but the basic conversion is quite simple.

Trouble importing photos into Elements 8 under Windows 7

Elements 8 is rejecting jpeg photos I am trying to import from SD card or DVD. The photos were taken with different cameras, and ones I've imported from successfully before. It labels the files as "corrupted", or "organizer doesn't recognize this file format" or other strange messages. I've successfully imported these files into Picassa, and Windows explorer - they are plain jpegs.

So right after posting the question, I decided to try to first import into the file system and then import from the file system, and that worked. But its a pain because it changes my workflow.
A possible workaround: You could use Windows Live Photo Gallery to download into your folders; the WLPG downloader is pretty good (WLPG is the version you download from Microsoft, not the one built in to Vista). Then you could use the Organizer's File > Watch Folder feature to automatically import new photos that get added to your folders by the downloader.
Do you use lightroom? Do you recommend it?
I don't use Lightroom, but it has a very good reputation. I know some other posters here use it.

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

Understanding File Import Images VS File Import Folders into a Project

Hello,
When I select the "File>Import>Images" command, images go straight into my project, no album is created.
When when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder containing subfolders, it will map the folder to a Project and subfolders to albums. OK.
However, when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder with NO subfolders, images are put in an Album anyway. Why is that?
Is it possible to avoid the creation of an album and have images straight in the Project?
Thanks,

You believing that that's how it should behave doesn't make it so.
You're right. Me alone is nothing. But if a high % of A2 users think like me, then maybe this feature needs some polishing.
The REALLY simple work around is to delete the album. The images won't go with it, and it's faster than retyping the name.
Good, that's the workaround I needed. For some reasons I was under the impression that deleting the album would delete the the images as well. I guess I'm still not used to that project-album concept.
You could hit Command + Delete on a hundred Projects and do less work than you've done on this one thread.
BTW: You submit feedback by choosing Aperture>> Provide Aperture Feedback not by posting it on a U2U forum. There are Apple moderators here but not Application Engineers.
Sure, that's how I always submit feedback to Apple.
