HT1304 when i try to import movies and tv shows from my desktop to itunes it just sits there. does not upload nor does it give me an error message or anything, it just sits there and does nothing.

help

By default you can only add M4V, MP4 and MOV files to iTunes. Simply drag and drop them into your library. If you have videos in other file formats (like AVI or MKV) you have to convert them one by one with a tool like HandBrake.
On Mac there are dedicated tools that will import videos for you, even without reconverting them. Additionally they will download artwork, put them in the Movies or TV Show category, etc. But I don't know if such tools exist for windows.

  • When I try to import mov files into iMovie'08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

    Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
    OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
    00117
    00117
    33.30
    Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
    AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
    FPS29.97
    Data Size2.57GB
    Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
    Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
    And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
    Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

  • Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.

    Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.
    First, when trying to sync ipod touch to Itunes, nothing happened. After that, Itunes suggested downloading and installing updates but now updates will not finish installation correctly and launch error messages. Any ideas?
    TKS !

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736B3s, or a different error code? If they're different, what codes are you getting in Windows Update?

  • Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • I am trying to upload movies from my pc to my itunes, when i select import files or folders and select the movie it does nothing, no error message or anything, it just sits there.

    please get back to me, this is very frustrating

    You are using File->Add File (or Folder) to Library, right?
    Make sure that you also look at the various categories of content stored on the library:  turn on the sidebar (Ctrl+S keys toggle) and click the categories to see if the content shows in the content window of iTunes.
    It could be you are trying to add a video/movie in a format iTunes does not accept because it cannot play it or work with it.  (And yes, if iTunes cannot add it to the library, it should absolutely report an error message rather than leave you wondering and drop the command.)

  • Why do I keep getting 'error' when I try to import .mov and .mp4?

  • HT4792 when i try to import the project into imovie from the desktopk, the project is in faded letters and it can't be clicked on.  I've tried this 5 different times with no success

    I followed the steps to import an imovie project from my iphone to imovie on my mac.  However, when I open Imovie and select file, import, movies HD project, and then go to my desktop (to where i moved the project out of itunes) - I can find my project but it is in faded lettering - so it cannot be selected to be imported.  Ive tried this 5 times to no avail.  HELP!

    It sounds like you are clicking the wrong selection in step 8 which says...
    Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
    Choose iMovie for iOS Project, not iMovie HD Project. iMovie HD is an obsolete version of iMovie from 2006.
    Here is a screen shot of what to look for.

  • Itunes freezes when I try to access movies or tv shows

    I recently got a new laptop with windows vista. I installed itunes and dowloaded itunes 7.5, then I transferred all of my music, and vidoe files onto my new notebook. I can play music, go to the online store and make purcahses without any issue, but When I try to access my movies or tv shows itunes stops responiding and I have to use task mananger to close it. Any advice would be great thanks.

    Hmm...I've had a similar problem where only some of my TV Shows would sync. What I did to correct it was click on the TV Shows tab in iTunes and made sure that all shows where synced instead of just unwatched shows. That seemed to do the trick with my situation.

  • Recently I am getting a message when I try to sync photos to my iPad from my PC in iTunes suggesting that photos already on the iPad will be removed if I sync.  I don't want to remove existing photos.  Any ideas?I

    I am trying to copy photos from a recent vacation to my iPad2.  The process was straightforward using iTunes until recently. Now I am getting a message warning me that if I sync photos from the folder on my PC to iTunes and my iPad, photos already on the iPad (except ones taken by the iPad) will be removed.  I am running iOS 8.0.2 and the most recent iTunes update. I do not want to remove all the other photos from my iPad, so I cancel the sync.  I have tried copying the photos using the Apple SD card connector, but it does not recognize my SD card (it does recognize an SDHC card, but I am unable to copy the photos to that card).  Is anyone else gettinga message like what I describe above when trying to sync photos to an iPad2 in iTunes?

    It is really a very simple fix. Place ALL of the photos that you want to sync to the iPad into one photos folder and sync that folder to the iPad. In your case, place the next set of photos that you want to sync, into the folder with the first set of photos that you already synced to the iPad. You can only sync from one main photos folder and if you choose another folder that does not include the photos that you previously synced, those photos will be erased from the iPad - as you have now discovered.
    You can sync one level of sub folders with the main photos folder. You can have as many sub folders as you want (as long as you have the storage space available on the iPad) but you can only sync from one main photos folder. After you place all of the photos into the one main folder, when you go to the Sync Photos From drop down menu in iTunes, select that main photos folder and all of the sub folders that you placed in there will appear and you can select each sub folder to sync as well.

  • Firefox 3.6.15 does not load, if automatic upgrade or issues an error message if installed by hand.

    I allowed Firefox 3.6.15 to update my existing Firefox (3.6.13). After the upgrade, Firefox does not load (not in Task Manager). I removed it, downloaded and installed it by hand, and I get a 1.9.15 not compatible with 1.9.13 error message. When I reinstall Firefox 3.6.13, it works fine.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • ITunes on my computer does not recognize my phone after 3 years.  Error message says iTunes is not set up on phone.  How do I rectify this?

    ITunes is not recognizing my iPhone 4 after several years of using iTunes and an iPhone.  I receive an error message that now says my Apple device is not set up for iTunes.  Why would this stop working and what do I do to rectify the problem?

    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computers one at a time.

  • My adobe help does not upload/also my pse9 gives an error 1 code

    I need help

    When asking a question on the Photoshop Elements user-to-user forums, you can make it easier for folks to help you by proactively providing the answers to the following questions:
    What version of Photoshop Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Photoshop Elements 9 with the 9.0.3 update).
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    What were you doing when the problem occurred?What other software are you running?
    Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
    Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to PSE, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?

  • ITunes doesn't open... No error messages or anything, it just does nothing.

    When I double click the iTunes icon nothing happens. I've tried plugging my iPod in to the computer, I've tried reinstalling iTunes, nada...

    Its alright I forget some details when I post a question too, anyways.... sounds like some file has got corrupt or theres a PC glitch.
    As with many post covering simliar issues about iTunes not opening, first try uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it.
    Also make sure your anitvirus is turned off or disabled when uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes and qicktime. Follow ALL the steps at the link below
