I can't get my music from desktop to iTunes?

My dad sent me a recording of him singing, and I downloaded it onto my desktop. But I can't figure out how to get it onto my itunes? Before you say it, I've already tried importing it, and usually it works when I just drag it in, but it didn't work this time. I've tried a few different ways of formatting (mp3, m4a, aiff), and they don't seem to make a difference. Also, I've tried putting them in the iTunes folder on Finder before dragging and nothing. (the whole process, the folder w/ the artists name, the fold for the album, then the song)

When you reinstalled iTunes, did you remove and reinstall by the exact steps listed here? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
You will need to do it that way. That would be the only thing I can think of that would be stopping the transfer of purchases. If you go into Task Manager and Services, is the Apple Mobile Device Service running? If you go into Device manager when the phone is connected, do you see the Apple Device Driver listed under USB devices? Have you tried disconnecting the phone and then rebooting the computer, then doing a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots and the computer reboots, connect them again?

    Your description of the problem is a bit confusing.  Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

    how can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc . i have A NEW IPAD I WANT TO TRANSFER THE MUSIC ONTO

    When connected to your computer's iTunes you can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy over any music (and other content) that you've bought from Apple. For music that you've copied from your own CDs or bought from other download sites then is it not already on your computer and/or on a backup that you can copy onto your computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off the phone.
    And there is no need to SHOUT.

  • How can I get my music from my Itunes library after I replaced my hard drive?

    How can I get my music from my Itunes library (purchased and downloaded (CD)) after I replaced my hard drive?  Same account name.  My other computer see's old and new music.  Can purchace new songs.  They show up by themselves.  Can connect IPOD and old songs show up.  Seem's like they are defined as different accounts.

    They will only be where you put them.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • When I plug in my ipod Nano i syncs to itunes but I can't get the music from my Library in Windows Media Player???

    How can I get my music from my Library in Windows Media Player to sync to my iPod Nana?

    You can't sync an iPod using Windows Media Player.  You need to add the songs to your iTunes library first, and then sync those songs to the iPod.
    This document provides more information (Add to Library section)

    NOTE:  The WMA files (the file type used by Window Media Player) need to be unprotected (no DRM).  They are converted to a format supported by iTunes while adding to the iTunes library.  This WMA conversion feature only works in the Windows version of iTunes (Mac users cannot do it).
    I believe you can drag and drop the WMA files, or the folder containing the WMA files, onto the iTunes window.  The original WMA files are not changed.  iTunes creates its own converted files at the location it stores all the iTunes media files.

    - For iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • HT1848 how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes.  Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
    iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access.  It will not load media onto the device.
    Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported.
