HT1473 Unable to add .mp3 files to Library in iTunes

I have .mp3 files of a course I took, but when I try to "Add to Library" nothing happens. I was hoping they would appear in podcasts, or even as music, but nothing. Any suggestions?

Unable to add mp3 files to iTunes 10.3.1.55 (Windows 7)

Issue: iTunes and Windows explorer crash (freeze, locks up, stops working) when I add mp3's to iTunes. I am using the drag and drop method but have also tried the File>Add File... option. Same result.
After this occurs, I have to open the Task Manager, stop iTunes and explorer.exe and restart the applications. iTunes becomes completley frozen and Windows explorer becomes handicapped.
This issue relates specifically to *.mp3 files. Am able to add other media types without any problem (i.e. *.wav files, video, etc.).
Confirmed file extension is *.mp3 (not mpeg)
Removed an existing, stable file from iTunes library and tried to import it again - same issue. Does not appear to be file corruption problem.
Have confirmed file ownership and modification permissions are set to full control, etc. in Windows
Removed and re-installed fresh version of iTunes. No change.
iTunes 10.3.1.55
Windows 7 (32 Bit, 3 GB RAM, Dual Core 2.6 ghz) [Stable PC]
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Actually it's a good question ... I have not done it before manually. If the folder exists does it mean that I have done it before?
The folder is completely empty. I reconfirmed that I have full-control persmissions on all folders below my username ...
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ [Vista machine]
I have restricted access to the C:\User folder

ITunes won't add mp3 files to library

I recently downloaded some mp3 files and for some reason I can't add them to my iTunes Library. I've done this before without any problems. The mp3 files play fine on my iMac, but I can't open them from within iTunes nor add them to the iTunes Library. I've tried to drag the files into the Library or into a blank play list in iTunes and nothing happens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some mp3s are somehow coded with something iTunes does not like.
You can try the MP3Scan&Repair utility (do a web search).
You can use a lossless mp3 editor such as MP3Trimmer, Fission, or AudioSlicer ( this one is free and works on my G4 but maybe not on newer computers). You can open the mp3 and save it again and maybe iTunes will like that copy better.
You can re-code the mp3 back into mp3 using a third party tool or maybe Garageband (I don't have that). This is undesirable because there will be lossi n quality.

Unable to add video files to Library

Hello, good evening.
(I don't even know how to start...)
I'm having some problems while trying to add video files to iTunes' library. No matter if I try to drag it in, or use the File > Add file to Library option, it just doesn't show up on the Video category (or any other category either). However, it adds music files and downloads podcasts perfectly. Also, everything in the library syncs to the iPod without problems, including the videos that were already there prior to the iTunes 6 to 7 update.
The video is already a .mp4, converted with the Videora iPod Converter. I'm using iTunes 7.0.1 on Windows XP. If other detail is needed to answer my question, just ask.
I guess this is it...
PC Windows XP

Wierd. When you say it doesn't show up in the Video category, you mean "movies" category, right? Because there is no "video" category.
I don't think iTunes would mistake it for a music file, and it probably wouldn't show up in TV shows (and I'm sure you already tried that), but did you check under Podcasts?
It doesn't give you an error message when you go to import? Can you play the file within windows?

Why can't I add mp3 files to itunes?

I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 I've been able to add mp3 files to iTunes by going to file-->add folder to library-->and selecting My Music. I have 5,000+ mp3 files in that folder that USED to play fine on itunes, but they don't show up! I can still play a song by double clicking, but it doesn't stay in my iTunes library. Any ideas? Or is this just a really annoying bug?

I'm having this problem too. Not with all mp3 files, just some. But this particular file I can't even double click to listen.......
Hope you get a reply!

BUG: Unable to Import MP3 Files in Flash CS6

I am unable to import mp3 files of any kind in Flash CS6. Tried import to stage, import to library, Drag and Drop... no dice. Receiving a generic error message. Tried closing out and restarting,etc. - still not working.
Anyone else having this issue?

Yep that worked!
The "update" in the library would not update the content but the drag and drop worked fine.
Note: The path in the update dialog shows a relative path and after the drag and drop it shows an absolute path to the file
I also had an issue with the audio being changed from stream to event.

FAQ: Unable to import MP3 files in Flash Professional CS6

If you are unable to import mp3 files in Flash Professional CS6, ensure that you update QuickTime(7.7.1) and iTune(10.5.3.3) versions. This is necessary to import .mp3 files of bitrates higher than 192kbps.

Yep that worked!

Help! Unable to add music or change anything in iTunes

For some reason, I am unable to add music to my library. It also will not let me change/modify titles, artists, etc. It will work on my wifes account but not mine. We both have admin status.
I do not understand how this happened. We both have read/write permission. Any idea what is wrong?

had a similar issue about it "not responding properly" and i went back to apple and got a new superdrive put in and have had no problems since.

How can I move mp3 files from trash to iTunes?

I accidently moved a group of MP3 files (songs) from my iTunes to the trash. After doing a little research, I saw the suggestion of creating a folder on my desktop and dragging them from the trash to the new desktop folder. So, I did that, and as far as I can tell, the songs are all there, sitting in the folder. But when I tried to drag the songs from the desktop folder to iTunes, I got this message:
"Attempting to copy the disk Macintosh HD failed. You do not have enough access privaleges for this operation."
This makes no sense to me. This is my private computer so I should have all the privaleges I need to do anything, right? And I'm not trying to copy the "disk Macintosh HD", right?
Anyway, can you help me move the songs back into iTunes--or to the podcast so I can then move them to iTunes? FYI, the songs have names like, "download 124.mp3" and the Kind is "mp3 Audio." I originally got these songs via a podcast from a radio station (KCRW). I have iTunes 11.1.1.
Thanks!

ed2345,
Thanks! I did that and the songs are now back in my iTunes. Some of the songs went back to the podcast and some went to the playlist.
UNFORTUNATELY, the songs did some sort of massive duplicating so that there are now over 100 duplicates of every episode/song (the podcast now has almost 36,000 episodes/songs and the playlist now has over 24,000 episodes/songs), and iTunes is viery slow/sluggish (spinning beach ball). Can you tell me how to eleminate all of the duplicates?

How to convert .MP3 files into .AAC with iTunes 10.5.2

Im running a Mac OS X 10.5.8, and my iTunes version is 10.5.2.
I want to convert .MP3 files into .AAC using iTunes, but no option is given for me. What should I do?

im not going to change all my songs into AAC, I was experiementing around with making ringtones for my iphone. I can open a song in Garageband, and export it as an AAC file to my itunes, but it is very annoying. I remember older versions of itunes having a "Convert to AAC" option, but i can't find it anymore on this current version of itunes.
Basically, I want to convert a couple songs into AAC to create ringtones out of them.

Unable to add aspx file to document library using REST and JSOM in SharePoint Hosted App

Hi,
I am unable to add an aspx file to document library. I was actually trying to create a WIKI page and upload to Pages library but that wasn't working so I tried simple document library. It keeps failing with Access Denied error. I have checked
the blocked types and aspx is not included. I can upload it directly from the browser so that shouldn't be the case. I have read that it can be achieved with CSOM but I need this to work with a SharePoint Hosted App. Here is my JSOM:
factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);
context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
oWeb = appContextSite.get_web();
oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
fileCreateInfo = new SP.FileCreationInformation();
fileCreateInfo.set_url("mywiki.aspx");
fileCreateInfo.set_content(new SP.Base64EncodedByteArray());
fileContent = "<%@ Page Inherits=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.TemplateRedirectionPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~TemplatePageUrl\"
%> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~masterurl/custom.master\" %>";
for (var i = 0; i < fileContent.length; i++) {
fileCreateInfo.get_content().append(fileContent.charCodeAt(i));
newFile = oList.get_rootFolder().get_files().add(fileCreateInfo);
context.load(newFile);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
alert('yo');
}, function (sender, args) {
alert(args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
If I change the file extension to "txt", it works. Same with REST implementation, it works with "txt" but fails with "aspx". Maybe what I am trying to do will not work using JSOM or REST. Any suggestions? Your
help is always appreciated.
Regards,
kashif

Your code works fine in both my on-premises and SharePoint Online. I have given the app full control, so I suspect this is a permissions issue. I would check your permissions on your appmanifest. Must be something to do with publishing permissions. Try
giving full control and work the permissions down.

HT1473 I have several .mp3 files of speech. When I add them to iTunes they show up in Music. How can I get them to show up as Audiobooks?

I have several .mp3 files of speech. When I add them to iTunes they show up in Music. How can I get them to show up as Audiobooks?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.
