Importing song problem.

Hi, and just know, this is my first post.
My problem is kind of weird. I have a song that was in a WMV format, I believe, when I was first going to save it, but I changed it to WAV and MP3. I tried to import both into iTunes, but to no avail. What I mean is that I've tried to drag both songs, impoprt the songs song by song, and import the folder. I get through the bar at the top, but I don't find the song. What's happening? Please, I beg of you, help me! Thank you.

One quick question: Are you able to see the song files in explorer view in My Computer?

Importing song problem - not complete

I am able to import most songs but I noticed that some songs are not being completely imported. I just got a new laptop (windows xp) so I don't understand why there is a problem. I did try re-installing Itunes but that didn't work. I never had a problem importing before (for the most part) and these are the same cds. It will import like half the song or other songs not at all. Can someone PLEASE help me.

I eventually forced Aperture to close. I was able to get the adjustment pane but in the histogram window is said no image found.
Does it look like this in the histogram pane of the adjustment panel? And do you see warning triangles or arrow badges on your image thumbnails, if you enable badge overlays?
That happens, if Aperture cannot find the original image files; then you can browse the images, using the thumbnails, but cannot edit or export them.
Have you tried to import as referenced or managed? If referenced, where should the folder with the originals be located? Do you see the originals in the Finder?
If managed - have you repaired your Aperture library after you force quit the import? (Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library)
Are the images still on the card?

Anyone solve "comp freezes on last imported song" problem?

I've seen a lot of posts stating...
-- importing CD
-- imports fine until the end of the very last song
-- just freezes (not reponding w/ 100% of computer resources) with no error message.
-- (more often than not) just upgraded to 5.x; didn't have problems before.
Has anyone seen a solution? I haven't seen any posts indicating a cause or fix.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been having the same problem. The compter just freezes at the very end of iporting the last song from CD.
hi Christian!
hmmm. here's a trick from the 4.9 days that might be worth trying:

When I try to import songs from a CD into iTunes it can't find the titles online. This wasn't a problem previously, now it is. There is nothing wrong with my internet. Any solutions? Help says try again later but no luck there.

When I try to import songs from a CD into iTunes it can't find the titles online. This wasn't a problem previously, now it is. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. Any solutions? Help says to try again later but no luck there. I've tried multiple times with multiple CDs.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Duplication Problem when importing songs

When ever I try and import songs via the "import folder" option it seems that the songs always have doubles which I have to go through and delete manually. I also want to point out that I consolidate my library to copy all imported songs to another location. But is there anyway I can fix this problem?

the thing is, I have an external hard drive which I use for all of my songs/videos/pictures and stuff like that. So I have itunes automatically copy all songs to a specific folder on my external, that way after it imports I have everything organized in that specific folder. It doesnt always duplicate songs like that...but when I import 200 songs at a time and it copies half of them, thats still 100 songs I have to go back and manually delete.

Problems importing songs

Hello;
I am having problems importing songs into Itunes. I have itunes version 11.0.1.12, but this the first time I have this problem, At first it woould only import certain songs (not all of them), later on I cannot import any songs into itunes, I am trying to add mp3's, and there should not be an issue, however I tried to burnd a CD, and it does not import then that way neither.
waiting your response

I'm having the same problem, except I think I've isolated it a bit more . . .
My MP3s are stored on a Windows server and my mac mini loads the songs across my network. I noticed there was an album missing from my library. I found the MP3s (a Van Halen CD that I ripped), went to reimport them . . . and nothing. I ended up doing a complete wipe (preferences, library files, everything) of iTunes, reinstalled iTunes 7.7, and copied the MP3s over to my local mini hard drive. They still refused to import.
I took the MP3s and checked out the ID3 tags in Tag&Rename on my Windows server. Everything appeared to be fine. However, I used Tag&Rename to completely delete ALL ID3 (v1 and v2) information in the MP3s. Once I did that, they imported into iTunes just fine.
Now, here's the kicker: Using iTunes, I setup the information again, and then rewrote the ID3 tags using iTunes (v2.3). After a few listen-tos and restarts (and syncing to my iPod) the songs are now refusing to import again.
I've had these MP3s in my iTunes library for years now. I've never had a problem playing them at all. As far as the MP3s being corrupted, I can play the MP3s just fine using QuickTime or using Finder's Preview view. It's only iTunes that refuses to acknowledge them.
Any thoughts? Anything else I can try?

Imported songs with problems.

My imported songs from my CDs (they are original CDs) aren't 100% ok. They get some sound problems from times to times, as if the CD is scratched.
But I've tested many CDs so far and this is a general problem. What to do?

Nevermind, I think I found the problem.
I was playing the imported songs while I was importing other songs.
It was too much for my PC
Only 1 at a time now

When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

Can't import songs from music library to itunes!

I have no problems importing songs from audio cds into itunes, but it won't recognize any of the files that i have in other folders of my computers (in mp3 format). and when i select 'import' and these songs, it just doesn't do anything. any suggestions to help??? thanks!
dell inspiron 4100 Windows XP

Most of them are files burned from an audio CD onto another computer, and then saved onto a USB device and then transferred onto my computer (I no longer have the original CDs, hence the roundabout procedure). some of the files however, are simply from 'my music' folder that i had previously burned onto my computer before installing itunes. i've checked the status of all the files--and none are protected. any suggestions? thanks!
Reknath, where did these files come from? If there
were downloads from other websites, they are probably
protected & that's why you can't get them into iTunes.

Unable to import songs or play audio cds

I'm having issues with iTunes on my PC laptop. I used to be able to import cds with no problem. Now when I insert an audio cd, the disk shows up on my desktop, opens in iTunes, and finds the titles. When I select "import", it acts as if it is importing the songs REALLY fast. When I try to play one of these supposedly "imported" songs from the library it shows it's time signature as 789:57:13 and won't play (skips to next song, then the next until it comes to one imported before this problem began) or gives error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." It also no longer plays from an audio cd (skips through each song quickly without playing). Help!
If no one knows how to resolve this issue... is there an apple support phone number, a genius at a mac store or someone somewhere you could suggest who could help? (I'm well beyond the original 90-day support window.)

Genre of imported songs not localised like iTunes songs

The genres of songs that I purchase in iTunes are in Dutch, because I'm Dutch and therefore the language of my iTunes Store is also Dutch. If I import songs from a CD, however, the genres are in English. The result is that most of the genres are present twice, once in Dutch and once in English. I know how to change the genre of songs, but it's getting rather tedious to clean up my genres every time I import something.
Is there a way to get the genres in Dutch when importing CD titles? Is this a CDDB issue, an iTunes issue or a OS X localisation issue?
Regards,
-Eric

I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.

Garageband wont import song from iTunes

Hi, I've imported songs from iTunes to Garageband many times by just selecting and dragging the song from iTunes into the GarageBand application window. Not sure why... but now that does not work--GarageBand is not accepting the song when I drag it over. Help! I'm using iTunes 10.6.3 and GarageBand 4.1.2.
Update--just saw posting from HangTime with link to instructions to highlight song in iTunes, select "Show in Finder" from the iTunes File pull-down menu, and then drag the song into the Garageband window from the Finder. It worked. Just wondering (now) why GarageBand is not allowing me to simply drag a song into Garageband directly from iTunes.

Thank you for posting that 'update' Kingpalm. It just solved my (same) problem, today 1st January 2014!

Importing songs not showing up in itunes

I have about 200gb of music on an external hd. I import songs into itunes (it shows adding files) but I can not find the songs in itune. Or it will import 1-5 songs out of the 15 or so that were in the folder I was attempting to import.
I tried to import all 200gb of music but only about 1/4 is showing up in itunes.
I have even draged and dropped songs from ext. hd into itunes using my computer window next to itunes. It shows a + sign next to song as it is added, but I can not find it in itunes then.
Any body have this problem?
Any suggestions on how to remedy?
Much Thanks!!!
Windows XP Pro

I followed the instructions for transfering a library
from Windows to a Mac and so far it's gone fine. Now
I'm trying to get the songs to show up in iTunes with
no success. I dragged the library from the iPod to
the music folder under documents, on the mac. It's
still not showing up in iTunes. I tried importing
these songs from that location and it brings up the
error message: "The file "Itunes Library.itl" cannot
be imported because it does not appear to be a valid
exported file" Any help would be greatly, greatly
appreciated. If you need any clarity because I know
it's jumbled, just let me know.

I tried the suggestions of other users to import from an external drive with the same result as you. I resolved this by instead selecting add to library and then browsing to the itunes folder on the external drive. It then copied all the contents to iTunes on the Mac.

Imported songs not showing up in iTunes

Just imported a CD. They are not in my iTunes library, but the files are there in the directory on the back end. I even watched iCloud upload them, but the tracks are not showing up in iTunes even when searching for them. Any ideas?!?!?

I have this same problem. Import songs from CD or from a MP3 Folder or if I add a movie, nothing shows up in itunes.
If I do a search of the media folder in iTunes I can see it there. Even My Apple TV can see the uploads and play them.
This all seems to have started after the latest update to Lion.
I have downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled it but it made no difference.
iTunes is importing ok it's just not displaying the newly imported items :-(

Imported songs do not appear in library (iTunes 10.0.1)

When I import songs from a CD, the songs are not appearing under Music in iTunes.
The track info is properly displayed for the mounted CD itself and the songs are correctly imported (green checkboxes appear, the MP3 files are placed in the correct folder under "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music", and the MP3 files are playable in Quicktime).
I've tried re-importing the songs in iTunes using the File > Add to Library function, but no luck. This has happened with multiple CDs.
Songs that I have bought through Amazon were successfully imported.
Is this an iTunes 10.0.1 bug? I haven't successfully imported a CD since I upgraded.
Is my library corrupt? Is there a way to rebuild it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Details:
iTunes 10.0.1
Import settings: MP3 encoder, high quality (160kbps), use error correction

It turns out that this is an identified issue. See the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2565869&start=0&tstart=0
(I searched for a thread on this topic before posting, honest!)
For what it's worth, the problem with the two CDs I tried importing before I posted this has magically healed itself and I can now see them in the library. No idea why. I haven't yet tried to import more.
