Hello dear,
Just follow my lead and your problem would be solved in no time ..
1.Bring the file/video you want to import to iTunes on your desktop screen and make sure it's in .mp4 format.
2.Right click on the file/video and click on "Properties". and Uncheck "Read Only" option in the Bottom.
3.Open iTunes and enable HomeSharing.
4.Now again right click on the file/video and chose "Open With" and choose iTunes as default (You can change the default later on).
5.iTunes will automatically pop-up and after some 10 secs, the video will begin.
6.Close the video, and you will notice that the video/file is now added in your library.
7.You could simply drag this file/video to any of your iDevice.
8.Darg and drop the file/video on the right sidebar.

Can't add movies to my ITunes Library

I have spent the last hour attempting to add some movies to my ITunes library. These files are all in mp4 format.
I have never had trouble before today, but whether I try to add them to the library through the menu, or drag and drop, nothing happens.
I have the most recent ITunes software and am using a MacBook Pro with Lion.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Convert the movie to mp4 (even though it is already mp4) with MPEG Streamclip or Handbrake (both free programs).
Do you mean save the mp4 movie as mp4? Converting (vs. saving it) it just results in more quality loss as the streams are re-coded again.
HB only does full re-coding (I don't know about the newest version). Streamclip lets you save a mp4, basically repackaging the existing streams without recoding. Mind you, those streams still have to be something iTunes finds acceptable. iTunes isn't really designed as a comprehensive video player since its video capabilities evolved at the same time Apple started selling movies, so it's up to the reader to figure out where the development priorities lay.

Can not add movies to the iTunes Library

I have an iMAC running iTunes 10.4 on s install of Lion. I have had this problem with previous versions of OS/X and iTunes. I have the exact same problem on Windows.
I just can not import a movie to the library. I've used File>Import as well as drag&drop. In both cases, nothing happens; no message of any kind, no progress bar, nothing. The movie is not copied. I have tried multiple file types (avi, mp4, mv4 etc) with the same problem. I can import music fine. Just no movies.
One time, a couple days ago, I used the drag and drop and worked; I have no idea why; Trying to import the same movie results in the same 'nothing happens'.
Any thoughts/suggestions on how to get this working? It is so annoying that there is absolutely no message of any kind popping up anywhere to indicate what the heck is going on.
I'm guessing it may be something to do with unsupported file types. But why no message, and why it did work just a couple of days ago?
Thanks.

To address at least part of the problem, confirm is that the videos are in a format iTunes can accept and play. AVI is not one of them, for instance. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
Note that there are non-standard formats that still use the .mp4 file extension. iTunes supports only industry-standard MPEG-4 movies, not the offshoots created by some encoders such as Microsoft's.
Why a movie that worked previously is not working now, though, I don't know. Just to confirm, will that movie play in QuickTime Player?
Regards.

TS1721 can i import movies to my Itunes library

can I import movies to my Itunes library

Hi, by default you can only add M4V, MP4 and MOV files. Simply drag and drop them into your library. If you have videos in other file formats (like AVI or MKV) you have two solutions: convert them with a tool like HandBrake. That takes a lot of work and time. Or you use a dedicated tool to import movies in iTunes. I use VideoDrive (www.aroona.net) for this. It will create small references to your videos in iTunes. And it will also add descriptions and covers so they look as nice as officially purchased movies. Keep in mind that if you do not convert the videos, they will not play on iOS devices. VideoDrive (and some others) to support conversions as well. So you always have the choice.
In my case, I add the videos without conversions so they are nicely categorized in iTunes. And the videos I do want to watch on my iPad, I convert later on. You can do this by selecting a video in iTunes and clicking File -> Create new version. Or use the 'Duplicate Video' feature of VideoDrive. I can imagine that this is overkill if you only have a couple of videos, but if you have a lot, it's great to have them all showing up with artwork in iTunes.

Why can I no longer add movies to my itunes library?

I am currently running iTunes 11.1.5.5 on Windows XP. (Yes, I know...it is an old computer that is dedicated to running iTunes and allowing me to run home sharing accross my network.)
My iTunes Library is housed on a NAS on my home network.
In the past, I have been able to easly add movies that I have converted with Handbrake by using the File>Add File To Library method. This worked just fine and would place the added video file in the Home Videos tab. I could then change the Media Kind under Get Information and easily have the video file relocated to the Movies tab.
This would allow me to view my movies on my appleTV while my home sharing is turned on and iTunes up and running on my computer.
The process to add videos just stopped working.
Now when I try the exact same process, nothing happens. The video file never shows up in iTunes at all. What gives?
Does iTunes have a limit on the size of the library? Is there a new process to add videos that I am not aware of?
Any help would be great.

... and I have Read/Write permissions to the files and the folder they are in.

A friend mailed me a flash drive with music on it from his pc... mostly wma files. How can I add these to my itunes library?

My friend created a BIG music file on his pc then saved it to a flash drive. It is mostly wma files.. how can I add this to itunes library?

Install Flip4Mac's WM Components (from their download page), required to play WMA in QuickTime, the Finder's preview column, and many other applications -- but not iTunes!
Open your WMA file in QuickTime Player (Pro version required), then save as reference movie.
Drag the newly created .mov file onto iTunes. Now you can play it as you would any other song.
Some metadata is copied to the QuickTime file, and you can edit/add tags in iTunes. Remember to keep the original WMA files in place, as your reference .mov files still point to them. If you don't mind one more conversion step, you can then liberate your WMAs within iTunes. Select your WMA songs in iTunes, go to the Advanced Menu, click Convert selection to MP3/AAC, then enjoy your music on the iPod.

Can't add files to my iTunes library

Since the iTunes 11.0 update, I have had problems with my iTunes library. That update deleted my whole podcast library. I have been able to recreate most of it. However, some of the podcasts were not available in iTunes store so I have downloaded them from the website. Then I move the file to the correct folder After downloading them, one of two things happen. Either I get the message that the file cannot be found and asks if I want to iTunes to locate it. In that case, I just click on the file and the podcast gets added. However, if I add a new file to my library, nothing happens. I click File>add file to library and nothing happens. When I go back to the folder where I put the file, the file is gone.
How do I add the file?

I can't add movies from my personal library to iTunes?

When I try to add the file using Ctrl + O it doesn't work, and it doesn't show an error message either. The video file doesn't show up in the Home Video tab or anywhere else at all. I've changed the file so that it opens up with iTunes, but whenever I click it the same problem happens. The movie was previously downloaded from putlocker.com if that is any help
I've already updated QuickTime and iTunes.

You can only drag and drop music and videos if you have Manually manage music and vodeo checked in the Surrmary pane of the iPod in iTunes.
Also see:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
You can add the video to your move library in iTune and then appear in the Vido app on the iPod.

Can not add movie to itune

Hi,
I just set up new itunes for ipod touch but i just can not add movie file (mp4) to library in itunes. Please help! Thanks so much!

Make sure you're looking for it in the Movies or TV Shows libraries, or do a search for it by name.
Did you check if the format is compatible with iTunes (QuickTime plays more formats if you have add-ons)?
"but when I open that file with itunes"
This statement confuses me as your point 1/ says you can't find it in iTunes.
