I cannot import music into my iTunes or import cps, getting error (-50). HELP!! been dealing with this for 2 days

I am going crazy. Got a new 2tb time capsule and have moved all my music to it and thought I was finally successful (though I have somehow lost some songs and recovered some...though some still cut off right at the end??) but now my biggest issue is itunes will not allow me to import any music, cd or downloaded files. I get the message when importing a cd "error occured while importing the file "song name" An unknown error occured (-50). I get the same error when trying to add downloaded music files also. I am really getting frustrated, itunes did not use to be so difficult to maintain. If we figure this out maybe someone can also help figure out why some songs are cutting off. I have researched this for a couple of days and unfortunatley am not finding much help. Thanks!!

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Cannot import music into my itunes account

i get the following message whenever i try to import music, which i have purchased, into iTunes "you do not have enough access privileges"
I am the administrator, i went to iTunes info, selected my self, gave myself read and write privileges and made myself owner of the account. Why can't i import?

It's pretty much as simple as selecting all, then a drag and drop into your iTunes library:

I cannot import music into itunes

I use the request "add folder to itunes" but the files do not appear in my library. Neither does the request "add files to itunes". I am using windows and have the newest available version of Itunes. What can I do to successfully import multiple folders into itunes?

You don't import files into the iTunes Media Folder. You import into iTunes. Post your iTunes issues in the iTunes forum:

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

Is it possible to import music into iPad without using iTunes?

Do any of of you know whether or not it is possible to import music into iPad, like when you can import pictures, without the use of iTunes ( I don't have a computer)? I have music on my phone and on USB flash drives. Thnx

If you are in America then you can download your past iTunes music purchases via the store (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). But no, you can't import from flash drives (the camera connection kit can only import photos and videos) or from an iPhone.

I purchased CDs and imported them into my iTunes and when the artists has other artists featured on the tracks it separates these tracks into a different album. How can I consolidate these back into one album?

I have CDs that I've purchased from music stores (ie. Best Buy) and have imported them into my itunes library. The problem is that iTunes has separated all the tracks that feature another artist into a separate album. I want all the songs filed under the same album, so that when I play the whole album, I can hear all the songs. Also when the album work is not showing up on some of these CDs. How can I fix this?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Importing music into Final Cut Express?

Got "file error/unknown file" message after trying to import music into FCE. The music source are tapes I digitized using Garage Band and are now saved in my "music" folder as mpeg-4 (m4a). What to do? Do I need to re-digitize the tapes to a different file type? Do I need to convert the files? Or is there a way to import that I am missing? (I tried "import / files" and I also tried just dragging the files into the project window. The music plays fine in itunes and are individual files.
ADDED: I now notice that when I try to "import / files" all my other audio does show up correctly when I click to "sound files" except from the music I digitized from the tapes. So, perhaps when I digitized them, I saved them as wrong film format??

We can't say as this is against the terms of ASC use.

Importing music into iMovie

I am new to Apple and the system. Does anyone know how I import music into my iMovie project?

Welcome flyerfansince79 to the  iMOvie boards..
iMovie is part of iLife, a suite of consumer apps for creating and managing digital media..
the 'meant' workflow for using music is:
import your music to iTunes (drag'n drop or 'Import')
=> then, you'll instantly notice your track in the 'Music' tab of iMovie..

Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into it. Preselected music just goes on.

I am talking about iPhoto. In my old Mac even in Books choosing slideshow gives a pop up where you can select a music from I tunes library. In this new one I can stop the slideshow with cursor and it shows music option but it is, as I said dead. Does not response at all to commands.

Cannot get into itunes via Mac keep getting error −50 ? help please

Make sure your Mac's software is up to date.
Open system Preferences > Software Update > Check Now.
Restart your Mac after all updates are installed.
Then try iTunes.
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.
