I can't add any media files from itunes

everytime I add a file to itunes, it doesn't show in garagebands media tab.

Well, I should rephrase my question. I've noticed my issue is actually with iLife applications, I mainly use GB to edit music, but it's been over a month now that the media browser tab in GB doesn't show the tracks I've added in itunes, It does let me drag them from itunes into GB, but I used to just hit the media browser tab and I the tracks would be there, basically it's the same issue with any iLife application. Any help with this?

Can't add AAC media file to itunes

Dear all, I've download a AAC media file (a audio book file, 56MB), the system define it as a itunes file. But when I play it, system open a Quicktime player to playback.
I changed the default program to iTunes manually, there is no response when I double click the file, even no response when I add the file to library by iTunes menu.
The file is ok, Quicktime and Windows media player can playback properly.
Is there any one could help? Many thanks.

Does the file name end in .m4a, which is what iTunes expects.

Can't add any new files to itunes

Hi
In the past I've managed to add new music files via "file" then "add file to library" from the top toolbar - the file is then added to your libra.
For some reason this isn't working now! Get to select a file, but when press oK nothing is added.
Would anyone know if I'm missing something to make this work, or if there is another way to add a file?
big thanks
andy

Hi Andy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Will the files play in Quicktime Player? iTunes sometimes has problems recognising MP3 files and won't import them.
If they open in QT Player you could export them as a different format and see if they import then?
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Peter.

How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

Dr. P,
Song files are just files. You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes. When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load. [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to

Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

How can I move my media files from USB-HD to NAS without having to copy the media files to iTunes Media folder?

I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
Now I want to move my files from USB-HD to a NAS without losing any information or settings. I want to do the similar to my iPhoto library. I do not want to consolidate my files to iTunes Media folder. The articles I’ve read only discuss how to do if the files are copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library. Any tips or trix?

How are you achieving the above? What are your copy setting in preferences? If you are manually overriding the copy-to by holding down the option key while adding media then that won't apply when you import a playlist (as in importing the .xml). When you import a playlist like that you are essentially adding the files to the library again and it will obey the preferences setting since you can't option add them that way.
Correct on the .itl. Only iTunes itself can edit that file.
I think you need to review your basic wants/needs in doing all this. If your reason for not wanting to use the Media Folder settiing is because you do not want it to go on the internal drive, but you don't actually mind if it organizes it as long as it is on the NAS, change the Media Folder preferences setting to the NAS and let it consolidate to there. If you want to move the stuff but keep it organized in your own folder structure you may need to do it as I suggested initially. Once it is on the NAS and iTunes recognize the file locations you can do what you can only do if you manually manage music which is move it around in Finder afterward once it is on the drive and recognized to tweak location to your final wishes.

read iM08's manual..
drag'n drop isn't supported in iM08 ..
follow the 'Import...' routine ..
note: iM08 is meant for camcorders (and similiar devices), not a 'all kind of video-files'..

Can't locate original song files from iTunes

I purchased songs from iTunes & cant locate original files on my computer/iPod. Searched harddrive, recycle bin, etc. When you click on song title in library, states cannot locate original files and asks me to locate. Yet when I try to redownload from iTunes, it shows I purchased it but states already downloaded and won't let me download again. I even tried to purchase again and it won't let me. How do I get these back?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

Greetings!
I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

Are you using a Wacom tablet instead of a mouse? If you are, read this http://accretiondisc.com/blog/2011/07/23/itunes-playlists-dragndrop-and-wacom-ta blets/

How can i move a video file from itunes to my camera roll

I am trying to relocate vids i made with another device and imported to my itunes to my camera roll or other app (files box, private camera, photofolders etc...) Is it possible? Will I have to change the video formats? They are all mp4 vids.

If they are in a compatible format then you should be able to sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select the folder that they are in on your computer and sync them (if you are already syncing photos to your iPad then you will need to include their folders with the sync, otherwise they will be removed from your iPad)
