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.

  • I am not able to download mp4 files (video and audio) to iTunes since I updated to iTunes 11.  Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for clarifying. Your question is in your browser, not in iTunes. Each download link is different, and it has nothing to do with the File menu. You can save media files by secondary-clicking on the link to the media file and selecting Save File to "[your downloads folder".

  • 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.

  • Add New Files To iTunes Library

    Is it possible to set up a folder in the finder so that when new audio files are placed inside (either copied, created or downloaded), they will automaticly be added to the iTunes library? Is there a folder action or applescript I'm missing or something? Or another way?
    Thanks in advance.

    I've created a folder action for a folder (called it 'iTunes dropbox') on the desktop to do so.
    This is how I've set it up:
    • Create a new folder (on the desktop or whatever location)
    • Run Automator
    • Select 'Finder' in the Library (left) pane, then select 'Get Specified Finder Items' from the Action (middle) pane and drag it to the right pane.
    • Select 'iTunes' in the Library, select 'Add Files to Playlist' and drag it below the 'Get Specified Finder Items' action in the right pane.
    You can choose to add the file to the Library only, or also to an existing or new playlist.
    • To save this workflow as an folder action, choose 'Save As Plug-in...' from the file menu.
    • Choose an appropriate name (e.g. 'tunetolib').
    • At 'Plug-in for:', choose 'Folder Actions'
    • At 'Attached to Folder:', choose 'Other...' and navigate to the folder you created before.
    • If you did not enable folder actions already, tick a checkbox that says so. If you already enabled it, you won't see this option.
    • Click 'Save'
    Now it's time to test the 'dropbox'.
    Just drop an AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV or mp3 file in the folder and if the exact file does not already exist in iTunes, it will be (should be) added to the library.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to add certain files to iTunes Library or iPod

    For some reason, whenever I try to add some files with an .avi format to my iTunes Library or iPod just won't let me. I've tried the add file/folder option and it simply doesn't work. It does absolutely nothing. It won't let me drag/drop to the Library, only iPod. But when I try drag/dropping it to the iPod (as I've succesfully been able to do in the past with other files)I get an:
    "[File Name].avi" was not coppied to the iPod "[iPod Name]" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    sorry all. i restarted iTunes after i downloaded and installed QT and everything started working. total retardedness on my end

  • Cannot add new files to iTunes library.

    My itunes library is run through my external hard drive. This hasn't been a problem, but now iTunes will not let me add new music files to my library. How do I fix that?

    Ditto. To compound the problem, I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I was trying to import videos and iTunes 10.6.3 starts, then the spinning wheel of death comes up about 1/2 way thru. After a couple hard boots to get the system back, I tried with a simple MP3 file. Tried ADD TO LIBRARY and drag and drop - Nothing.

  • Add .avi files to iTunes Library

    Hi, I can't seem to add a .avi file to my iTunes library. When I give the command, I can hear my hard disk working, but it doesn't add the movie to the library. Do I have to convert it first? If so, how can I convert it, and make a file that I can add to my iPod?
    Thanks.

    Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 and import that into iTunes. An AVI can contain audio and video of any format, and some formats can't be played or converted in Mac OS X.

  • Add music files to itunes library

    Many songs that I have imported (create *.mp3) using an early version of itunes will no longer play in my ipod 5G video, or in itunes. So i've removed them from the itunes library, and now I cannot get the files back into itunes. I've tried all of the methods I know of: import a song, a folder, and dragging and dropping the folder. Please Help.

    Create the playlist folders.
    Create the playlists inside them.
    Drag your folders of music to their respective playlists.
    You may want to visit Edit > Preferences > Advanced, then turn off the Keep... & Copy... options.
