Importing vs. Drag and Drop
I have some files that were FLAC and I converted to ALAC (M4A). I then go to iTunes and go to File>Add file to Library. By doing this am I converting the ALAC (M4A) file that I have again by doing this thus coverting 2x? I have my import settings to import (like from CD's) as ALAC (M4A). Should I just drag and drop the M4A files into iTunes instead of doing this?
I am slightly confused, can anyone help?
You're welcome.
By the way, may I ask which program you used to convert FLAC to ALAC?
I'm having issues with adding m4a files to libraries. I think the files were converted ok but iTunes doesn't think so

IPhoto '09 8.1.2 Doesn't import via drag and drop!
My Macbook Pro version of iPhoto won't allow me to drag & drop photos into the albums. It will allow import via menu but only as new events and then still won't allow me to add to existing albums. I have tried reinstalling OS as I had another problem with moving files across the network, it allowed copy but not move. When the photo is chosen I then drag into the correct album. It shows the green cross but doesn't allow the drop. It also doesn't let go of the file so the the photo is attached to the cursor until I force quit on iphoto.
Anyone got any ideas please as I really use iphoto to push my files around my network & devices.
Thanks

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

Windows 8.1, PSE 11
I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos. Then some freezing. A little added crashing. A plethora of other bizarre issues as well. This just stated happening a couple of days ago.
What I have tried:
Uninstall/Install.
Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it.
Kindly advise. Thanks!

OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it! -
Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Why can I drag and drop a file into A3, but not import it?
With A2+ I've scanned images (Epson flatbed) and imported them as TIFF, JPG, PNG, whatever.
Same scanner, software, and A3 refuses to import any of the above formats. However, I can drag and drop the image on a project and it works.
Any ideas? I looked for relevant threads but didn't see any immediately.
ThanksImage appears in import pane; I can assign metadata, click "import," wait about 10 seconds and it says "import completed with errors," though the file doesn't show up in project.
I have to say it's inconsistent. I just spend 20 minutes trying to import a one scan in PNG, TIF, JPG formats, and eventually gave up and dragged it in as TIF.
Just now, I tried importing it into a different A3 project, and the TIF worked. However the PNG (which I didn't drag into A3, still gives the above error.
I can live with this as long as drag and drop works, but seems like a bug. -
Good Afternoon All,
I'd be grateful for any help with the following problem.
After importing about 30 photos from my camera into iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2), I selected the first group of 10 and dragged and dropped them into an existing album in my iPhoto library. I repeated this process with another group of photos , dropping them into a different existing album. Again, I repeated this process with the last remaining photos from the original imported group of 30.
This is exactly the same process I have used successfully on many previous occasions when adding to my iPhoto library of 6000+ photos.
However when I later opened each of the 3 existing albums to check on the 30 new photos none of these new photos were visible. Instead each of the three albums now contained between 5 and 15 duplicates of old photos from different and unrelated albums in addition to their normal content. These duplicates were not present before I imported the 30 new photos. I then opened every Album in my entire library of 6000+ photos without finding any sign of the 30 new photos. These 30 photos have also disappeared from "Last Import" which now shows a blank page with 0 imports.
I still have the 30 new photos saved on my camera and could import them again. My concern is that with my very limited diagnostic skills re. my iMac OS X (10.6.8) I may aggravate the problem
Thank youMorning Terence
Thank you for your suggestion. When I held the Option Key and opened iPhoto the resulting menu showed 2 libraries , "iPhoto Library" and "iPhoto Library (default )".
I then recalled that 12 months ago I had created this duplicate library when attempting to recover some lost photos. On opening each of these two libraries in turn, I notice that they are not identical. Rather than create another new library, I imported some new photos into "iPhoto Library " and was then able to drag and drop successfully into this library. When I tried to do the same with "iPhoto Library (default )" all the problems originally described re-occured.
Having found the problem is in the Default library I would now like to move some photos from it into "iPhoto Library" and then remove the Default Library.
Could you recommend how best to do this or is it not a good idea?
Regards.....Gilvin -
Can't drag and drop or import movie clips or ver. 8 projects into iMovie 9
Hello:
I just installed Leopard (OS X) with iLife and iWork (although I didn't actually install iWork). I can't drag and drop .mov or .dv files into a project. If I "File-->Import-->Movies", all the types I want to import (.mov & .dv) are grayed-out. I created and saved a project with the older version of iMovie (8) and then tried to import it into iMovie 9. The result is a message in the clips panel that says "No matching video. Choose a different options from the Show pop-up menu at the lower left corner." So far, everything I wanted to do is bust. Can somebody help?
Thanks.

easy way:

• File/Export/choose 720p (if optional, if not 480p)
• import THAT into iMovie using iMovies import routine, proceed … -
Can't import photos via drag-and-drop (only small thumbnail will appear)
After I drag and drop photos into iPhoto 7.1.3 (even a photo just exported from iPhoto), it shows the import process and creates an untitled event. Once complete, I see a dashed-line box instead of the images.
http://idisk.mac.com/phildame/Public/Pictures/Skitch/iPhoto-20080308-111415.jpg
Every time I re-open, it will try and re-import the failed photos, creating a new event each time. I have to tell it not to try recoving.
Note that in the event view, it's a blank square. If a reduce the thumbnail slider enough the images appear in "Photos" view (as if only the small thumbnails were generated before it crapped out).
Is anyone else seeing this? I'm not sure what to do.
PhilPhil
Two issues there:
Every time I re-open, it will try and re-import the failed photos,...
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
2. As to the blank thumbnails:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Imported mailboxes have internal Messages folders and I cannot drag-and-drop to them
I have just been forced to upgrade to a new MB Pro due to liquid damage to my old Macbook Pro. As I am now using Mountain Lion I have had all manner of reconfigure problems with importing the (undamaged) data from my old hard drive.. When I open Mailboxes, there is an internal Messages folder which needs opening in turn.. Some of the Mailboxes have messages in both parts. I also seem to be blocked from drag-and-drop to move mail to my boxes.. I've read all over here but cannot find this mentioned.. Should I re-install a clean version, and if so, how do I retain the last 4 days of emails.. My Sent box is utterly screwed, too
When you see something like this in the sidebar, it means there are other folders within that folder:
The little triangle on the left is the clue.
Click on the traingle and you can see what is inside, Here there is one folder inside:
Now if you want you can drag the second folder and drop it anywhere inside the sidebar:
So that instead of one folder with a triangle to show it contains other folders, I have two separate folders.
You can also go in the other direction, and drop a folder into another one. As many as you want. -
Cannot drag and drop to Albums when importing photos
When you import images to Photos, you cannot drag and drop the photos to any of your albums. What was Apple thinking by eliminating this organization feature that has been part of iPhoto since 1.0? For example, when you import photos from your SD card (from your DLSR camera), you cannot drag and drop the photos to an album (when you have view sidebar selected). If you select all the images, Photos for OS X will not let you drag and drop them anywhere. Clicking on the selected photos to drag them will only de-select the photo you are hovering over. How stupid is that? How can Apple call that photo management? People organize photos in Albums, but Photos for OS X only wants you to dump them into the program without any organization. In order to drop the photos into an album, you have to import the photos and then click on Last Import. Then select all the photos from that location, and then you can drag and drop them into an album. Totally stupid.
Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.

Unable to drag and drop mp4 movies into itunes but the file will import and play using home sharing
Strange problem with my brothers MacBook.
The movie files were converted to mp4 format ready to be played on an iphone and I imported them into my iTunes on an iMac with no problems.
Files were also saved onto a flash drive which I passed on to my brother.
My brother was unable to import files by drag and drop and also by "add to library", we even copied and pasted files from the flash drive to the desktop but that also didn't work.
Using "home sharing the movies imported and played with no problems.
Any ideas why this is happening?This appears to be a long-standing bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634720
and the accepted workaround is stated in comment 11.
Oddly, it's possible to do the reverse, i.e. drag multiple eml files from Explorer to a TB folder. -
Set default import format when drag and drop sound file into multitrack view?
I've looked around the preference panels but cannot find where to set the import settings for dragging and dropping sound files into multitrack view. Some of our computers have correct settings and others do not. Thanks for your help!
GI should have been more specific, sorry... I mean bit depth and bit rate... On some machines this defaults correctly and on other machines it is wrong. Not sure how to set these to downconvert properly by default. Unless it automatically takes the format of the source file, in which case it's just been luck.
Thanks,
