I'm trying to get a song from iTunes to Windows Movie Maker

I'm trying to get a song from my iTunes library to Windows Movie Maker so I can use it in a video. I've tried importing it, copying it and pasting it, and clicking and dragging it, but each time, it says that it could not be impoted... Does anyone know how I can fix this?

What file format is the song in, Lauen?
To check, right-click on the song and select Get info. In the Summary tab, what is it saying next to "Kind"?

Import songs from iTunes into Windows Movie Maker

I have found it difficult to use my songs in any other application. I'm creating videos using Windows Movie Maker (Vista) and when I go to import the songs aren't showing up in the iTunes Music folder. I also downloaded the files into an external drive. When I opened the external drive separate the songs were there. When I was in Windows Movie Maker and went to import the files weren't there. Any suggestions on how to use songs from iTunes. I feel as though I've purchased them and can't use them anywhere else other than on my iPod and computer.

If they are protected files, that's correct. You can only use them on iPods, authorized computers and Apple TVs.

Can I transfer/copy songs from itunes to Windows Movie Maker?

I am designing a slide show for my daughter's wedding. If I buy songs through itunes, can I copy/move them to Windows Movie Maker for the slide show.
I appreciate your input/guidance.

With the iPod connected to your PC and selected on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your PC then you can enable the sidbar via control-S), you should be able to use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it e.g. which albums, artists, playlists etc : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

Exporting a song from itunes to Windows Movie Maker

Can anyone answer this question for me? I am very frustrated with this issue. I had a lot of family members give me itunes gift cards for Christmas so that I could purchase appropriate songs for slideshows that I make for grandchildren and other family members. I cannot get any of the songs into my slideshows as it says that they are mp4's. Someone told me that they have to be mp3's and then someone told me that I could convert them to mp3s within itunes and export them to my slideshows. I am not selling the slideshows, only doing this as a hobby and am now upset that I spent so much time and money on songs I cannot use. Is this true, I can never use them in my slideshows? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Depends what they are. If you purchased .m4p files, be aware that they contain Apple-proprietary DRM "protection" that prevents their use in non-Apple programs. If you purchased .m4a files, you can use iTunes to convert them to MP3.
For future reference, since you plan to use your music for multiple purposes, the most compatible format, by far, is MP3. Make sure that all music you purchase or rip is in MP3 format.

Importing trailer from iTunes to Windows Movie Maker. help?

im trying to import The Prestige trailer into Windows Movie Maker so that i can have it set into the whole program. is it possible to import a trailer from iTunes into another program? i tried to make it able to open with movie maker, but it still isn't working.

WMP does not fully support MPEG, you'll have to convert it to a format supported by this program.

I am trying to download a song from iTunes and it is asking security questions that I don't remember setting up. Therefore I do not have the correct answers. Any help?

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset, which can be done by clicking here and picking a method for your country, or if that's not an option, by filling out and submit this form.

HT201303 Trying to download a song from iTunes. Message claims I need to "update" my billing info because I am "using a new device". I am not using a new device. How do I know this is genuine?

Trying to download a song from iTunes, I get a message asking me to update payment details because it claims I am "using a new device." I am not using a new device. How do I know if this is genuine?

(Typing all in capitals is considered shouting, makes posts difficult to read and may mean that people are less likely to reply.)
There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Burning Videos from iPhone/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker?????

How can I burn videos that I take on my 3GS iPhone and than sync to my PC/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker? When I attempt to load or drag the video file into movie maker it give me an error message due to the file type is not supported. Any suggestions or points in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

This is because iTunes Store purchases and in a protected file format, so you won't be able to directly convert them from the protected file into something that Windows movie maker could read.
As the previous poster said, you can try burning the files to a CD, then importing the CD again. I think that ought to work.

IPhoto slideshows will no longer play songs from iTunes since I upgraded to Mavericks. In fact trying to use a song from iTunes crashes iPhoto. Any suggestions?

Having a lot of problems with iPhoto since upgrading to Mavericks. Wondering if there's not enough memory in my version (I was unable to update iMovie because my system is incompatible with the new version.) A slideshow will play but silently even though there appears to be a song from iTunes attached. Two songs where I've had this problem were not purchased from iTunes but downloaded from personal CDs. Very frustrating as I simply cannot figure it out. And getting direct help from Apple either via Chat or Phone has become near impossible as you try to wade through the roadblocks of links upon links. I tried to create a new slideshow and pull in songs but the same thing happened. The aforementioned songs play OK on my iPad just not on myiMac - it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, so aging not well perhaps! Any ideas welcome.

OK, answering my own question..well, via Arleen 259 and Old Toad apparently courtesy of keysandfood! (Copy of Old Toad post below. Thanks to all...IT WORKED!
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

Any way to get garageband songs from iTunes to GB iPAd? seems to not show

Hi
Im having trouble getting songs from iTunes into Garageband, i can see the songs i exported to iTunes from Garage band on the ipad, the lists in iTunes shows a song i made on my desktop including the iPad ones i exported into iTunes from the iPad but weird thing is on the iPad it will not show the desktop song in its iTunes import list,.

The only way that i know to do this is to convert all of the songs you have downloaded from itunes. I dont think that the creative software to convert songs will convert the itunes format but i know that ImToo Audio Encoder will convert them.

Why can't I get my songs from iTunes on my laptop on my iPod touch?

I have recently updated the ios on my Touch to v. 6. I have over 1,000 songs on iTunes in my new laptop, but for the life of me, every time I sync, it only recognizes the 21 songs already on the touch. How can I get the songs on iTunes on to the touch? I've tried all the instructions, but the sync only takes a few seconds and nothing is ever added to my ipod. This is so frustrating.

Since we have no way of knowing what all the instructions are that you are referring to .... first quit iTunes, restart your Touch, restart your PC and start all over again.
Then ...
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
Also assuming that you are signed into the same Apple ID on the Touch that you are using in iTunes - the ID that you used to purchase the music - if it is purchased music that will not sync.
