I am unable to add video files to my itunes library

I have been trying to add videos to my itunes library for a few hours now, i have the correct format MPEG-4's as stated on here as the correct format, but when i go to add them nothing comes up and im wondering why ?

HI.Andrew. Thanks for the reply. I think there has been misunderstanding and I am sorry about it. I am not streaming from my computer using Twonky. I have videos on my networked EZ drive in a media shared folder called movies. I also have photos in other folders as well which have no problem streaming. A majority of these videos (nearly 99%) are in the latest .m2TS or MPEG-4 format (from my video camera) and about 8 of them are in the MPEG-1 format. I used to be able to use my networked SOny Blu-Ray player to stream these videos (any format) to my TV and watch them, till this february when i updated my firmware. It does not need my laptop to be on for that (hence not media integrationissues). After my firmware update, the only video that plays are the eight MPEG-1 format videos. Very strange. I have no problem streaming photos or music from the EZ drive. I think I might have confused you with the Twonky thing, because on the EZ drive's manager window on the browser, after selecting "Media server" settings, I used to see a twonky server against my laptop PC in the table of connected devices (for media integration), which I now understand was because of media integration of the laptop. So please ignore that. I now get the message "no playable file found" when I try to stream videos from the EZ drive through my Blu-Ray player. I do see the Lenovo-EMC2 icon on my Blu-ray players video channels, clicking on it does show me folders, but it cannot find any playable file, while earlier it used to play those same files. I dont understand what happened. I am hoping you can throw some light on this issue.

How do I add video files to my itunes library?

Ok, this is basic but how do I add videos to my library? The files is supported by itunes but whenever i try to add to my library it's not there!
Help. Thanx

First, double-click on the Movies item in the Library. You will see a new window appear. Next, make sure you know the location of the movie file. Then, go to File > Add File to Library... and browse for the movie file (if you don't see it, it isn't compatible with iTunes; you have to convert it; see here for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1347). Then, with it selected, press Enter or Return. Tada-- there it is!

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7.0.21

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.

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?

When I try to add a video file to my itunes library nothing happens

What format is your video file? Itunes only support mov, m4v, mp4 formats.

Is there a cure against apple tv3 being unable to open videos or music from itunes library?

HI!
I recently bought an apple tv and was trying to playback video and audio files on it.
activation of homesharing has been rather smooth (although i did have to open and close itunes several time). apple tv3 is able to download the library and lets me surf it.
my problems start when i attempt to open more than one video/song (one after another of course). It shows this circle which indicates download but does nothing. i'm able to exit from this screen but any attempt to open any file afterwards brings me the same result - running circle/star with no playback.
i read support info on the apple page and have followed more or less all recommendations, starting with allowing tcp/udp ports, making sure taht itunes is not on firewall, disabling power management on my wireless adapter, etc.
the most exciting thing is that i have the same problem if i run remote app on my iphone and/or ipad - it stops seeing itunes after a while. at the same time if i pair my ipad/iphone with itunes manually (using 4 digit password) it works smoothly.
tech specs: latest itunes running on win 7, latest software running ipad/iphone/appletv. connection over wifi.
i assume there must be a bug in the way itunes communicates with devices in the apple ID related homesharing. otherwise i can't explain why remote app works smoothly with itunes library in password pairing mode.
Has anyone faced anything similar and found a cure against the problem?
I hear different opinions re firewall, antivirus software (i use kaspersky). i'm not technical guy but assume if those pieces of the system allow to play one or two songs and then freeze, i don't think that the problem is in those pc.
WOudl be grateful for constructive feedback, hopefully with an easy solution:)
P.S> airplay from ipad, itunes, iphone works perfectly and without glitches.

Is this happening when playing from iCloud or locally from iTunes on your computer? If it is from your computer is the computer going to sleep? There is some bug in ATV that causes it to have problems being able to wake a computer that has gone into sleep mode. Some times it works fine and then sometimes for like a week ATV will not be able to WAKE the iMac. This can also be a problem if you are using an external hard drive and the hard drive is going into sleep mode. Also is iTunes running. If iTunes is not on then ATV can not connect to get content.

How to add multiple files to an itunes library? I try each time...

Hi,
I have a bunch of music files that I want to add to my itunes library, but when I do a multiple add (single adds work fine), it doesn't add all the files, it just does nothing. But when I do 2-3 at a time, it works, just does not work for let's stay 5+ files at a time. I go to File->Add file, then select the songs. Please help!

I'm wondering if you're trying to import music files with digital rights management (DRM)? Also, sometimes iTunes doesn't like mixed types being dragged together, e.g. AAC and MP3 or MP3 and WAV or AAC. You should be able to drag and drop a whole folder. Don't know if that's much help. Maybe you could provide more details on file type, where you're copying from.

How do I authorize my MacBook Pro to add new files to my iTunes library on an external hard drive?

Recently I switched from a PC running Windows XP to a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.8. I successfully imported my iTunes library from my external hard drive. The existing files play without a problem, but the computer is preventing me from loading any new music or podcasts onto the external drive. This includes podcasts through iTunes as well as outside sources such as Amazon. I get a message which reads that I am not authorized to make changes. I am the administrator on this computer. What should I do now? Thanks for your help.

What exactly is the message you are seeing?

This is confusing. If you "import" the library it is on your internal drive, but you say it is on the external. Anyway, I think the drive's the problem. Highlight the drive in Finder and get info on it. If it says it is NTFS format that is a format commonly used with Windows but Macs can only read NTFS format, not write to it. You will either need to reformat the drive (ideally to Mac extended) or buy software which will ket you use NTFS drives with a Mac computer.
NTFS drivers for Macs (there may be others):

ITunes 10.5.2 will not let me add files to my iTunes library. What do I do?

Hello,
Ever since I downloaded iTunes 10.5.2, I have been unable to add music files to my iTunes library. Whenever I am browsing for the file and double-click it, I am immediately given the "This program has stopped working... Trying to find a solution to this problem." box.
Any help is appreciated.

Of course not. Reinstall and if the Libraries are in the standard location in your computer (i.e. iTunes placed them and not you), it will immediately find the libraries. Just don't throw away the libraries. You can reinstall over the existing iTunes. BTW never forget to backup your computer.

Unable to view video files in browser :[

Does anyone know why Safari is unable to view video files in the browser ??? I used to be able to view .mpg video files right in the browser and when viewing .wmv files Safari would open up Windows Media Player which would then play the file. I really dug that feature. Now when clicking on a .mpg video file, Safari simply downloads the file to my HD and that's it. Is there an easy fix for this issue ??? Hello !!! Anybody ???

Tell the QuickTime plug-in to play the file inside a browser window.
Open System Preferences/QuickTime and click the Advanced tab. Click the MIME Settings button and then put a check mark in MPEG media.
Quit and relaunch your browser for these changes to take effect.

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.

Unable to send video files

i have Lumia 820.. And I am unable to send video files through gmail as well as WhatsApp.. Please help me out Asap..

There may be a limit on gmail on how large an attached file can be, often the limit is around 5mb, all you can do is use a file sharing site like dropbox or use skydrive or googledrive to upload the video & then send the link to the file via email.
