I cannot add videos to my iTunes.

I have tried adding a file, and that doesn't work: iTunes doesn't accept it. when I click on "movies," it does not open an option for downloading videos. Help!

Hi - I have the same problem! iPod Classic 120GB - but the issue's with iTunes. I also have the updated version, 10.6.1, before anyone asks! I've restarted my computer, not ran big programs at the same time, everything - it's just not working! I add MP4 movies to the library, and nothing shows up. *sad face*

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.

"I cannot add video to itunes and my iphone i see this warning "Example' was not copied to the iPhone because it cannot be played on this iPhone."

I'm having this same problem, except the option to "create iphone/ipod version" is greyed out and I can't select it. I tried to sync it after I noted that, but the same "cannot copy video" message came up.

Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?
iTunes 10.4.1
OS 10.6.3

There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Cannot Add Any Music to iTunes Windows 8

I just got a brand new computer with Windows 8. I moved everything that was on my previous laptop to this one, including all of my music, books, and videos. I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it will not add any music to my library. My library is always empty and has the buttons to go the the iTunes Store and/or Scan For Music. I cannot add any files to the library. After I click on the file that I want to add, nothing happens. I can't even transfer my previously purchased music from my iPad to my library. Again, nothing happens.The only thing I have been able to transfer were my books that were on my iPad. No music, no apps, no videos. This is my second day working on this problem. I have used iTunes for years and have always been able to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, selected myself as administrator on the computer, troubleshooted compatibility issues, and tried multiple diagnostic runs. If someone could help me find a way to fix this, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Use Windows to go to your folders and find one of the problem files. Right-click it, and choose Open With > iTunes. If the file is compatible with iTunes, it will be added to the library and start playing. If nothing happens, the file is incompatible.

Can't add video to new itunes

Hi, hope someone here can help me because im getting kind of fustrating by not been able to add videos on the new itues. I've got the new video i want to add to the library its on "MP4" format, but for some reason when i go to to the "Add File to Library" and look for my file i want to add, the video does not appear on my library, just wondering anyone had this problem before and can tell me how to fix it, or if theres a way to get your videos to the library on the new itunes!..please help!

Reason one: if you have not installed quicktime, the new iTunes will refuse to import video
Solution: install QuickTime player as well as reinstall iTunes.
Reason two: the video format or codec, or specifacation does not meet the iTunes 11 demand
Solution: convert video like mp4, m4v, mov, avi, wmv, mkv, flv to iTunes supported one, detailed guide atSolution on Can't Add Videos to iTunes 11
Move video from Home videos to Movies in itunes
Go to the particular movie in "Home Videos" section, on the movie, right click the mouse (for Windows users) or press Ctrl and click the mouse (for Mac users) to open the context menu, in the context menu, click on "Get info", the "Get info" window will pop up, switch to "Options" section, click the "Media Kind" drop down list to select Movie, finally click "OK" button, your movie will automatically moved to "Movies" section.

You don't have any choice but to restore your phone. If the phone is still working, be sure to back up your contacts first. Since iTunes can't read your phone you can download the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an email attachment. Send this email to yourself; you can later open it on your phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary. When done, click on Restore (on the Summary tab) and let iTunes do its thing. Be careful to watch the progress information at the top of iTunes as well as your iPhone screen so that you do not interrupt the restore process until it is completes.

Cannot stream video from osx iTunes to XP itunes

This is a frequently discussed topic, but non of the suggested solutions work for me.
Problem: iTunes running on iMac OS X 10.4.9, latest version 7.1.1. Authorized. Has purchased TV show locally. Cannot stream this show to iTunes, latest version, running on XP, on local network.
The reverse works. i.e. a different show on the XP iTunes can be streamed and watched on the OSX iTunes.
I initially had problem with self ripped movies, tried Lostify etc. Same problem. Now I have isolated to "normal" iTunes content, going from OSX to XP, still does not work.
Any ideas?!
Thanks,
P.K.

Anyone has this problem or solution ?!!?

Cannot add videos to itunes.

Hey, I have a 60G video ipod and my itunes wont let me add ANY videos. this began about 2 weeks ago.. and i re downloaded it etc etc.. updated.. and it still wont let me???
HELP!!

I have the same problem in my 60GB video IPOD.
In Itunes, If I click on EDIT - PREFERENCE - IPOD - VIDEO, all the buttons are grey and blank or not active.
This does not allow me to change anything and therefore i cannot copy any videos to my IPOD.
Please advise on how the Video section can be activated as this is the main reason why we cannot transfer.
Will someone from Apple help or someone advise a remedy on how we can transfer video to the IPOD.

Cannot add videos to my iPod "Classic"

Hi, I just converted a video from a DVD with Handbrake 0.9.5 and couldn't then add it to my iPod. I did a search in spotlight for the file and it came up as a "protected MPEG-4 movie". Now I've followed this proceedure many times over and never had this problem before what has happened to make this occur. Is it Handbrake or QT 10 as igirl1 wrote: discussions.apple.com/thread/2633767?start=0&tstart=0. This file plays just fine in iTunes and sending it to the iPod the green plus sign comes up but nothing happens. Please can anybody help?

Sorry didn't realize the forum was incorrect as the path above reads:
Apple Support Communities > iPod > iPod classic > Discussions

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.

I cannot add videos to my iTunes.
