Issues adding files or folders to library

I have used iTunes for years (so I know how it should work), but just started running into problem yesterday when trying to add new music to my library. When I go to 'Add Folder to Library' it lets me browse and select a folder with mp3's, but it won't add them to my library; nothing happens. The 'Add to Library' screen closes and does not give me any error messages. I tried adding individual mp3 files my library, but nothing happens. I can play the file in iTunes if I go through the browser and opt to play the file with iTunes, so the file is good and recognized. Also, I was just curious about what it did when I went to music that is already in my iTunes library, so I tried to open a folder or files that are already in my library and the same thing happened....nothing.
I'm running iTunes 10.5.42 with Windows 7. I deleted iTunes and re-installed it as well as made sure that my Windows firewall was giving iTunes access (just in case). I'm clueless...can anyone help?

iTunes will only play files that are in its library. My guess is that the files are already in it, just not where you expect to find them. See Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist. One way to make sure would be to use iTunes Folder Watch to scan your media folders for any files not yet in your library.
Note that iTunes generally won't issue any error messages if it has problem reading the files, e.g. lack of security permissions, or if it rejects a file because of some problem with the internal format.

Role Assignment Discovery Issue for Files and Folders through Sharepoint REST services

To preface, I am a decided Sharepoint newbie in every sense. I am trying to use the Sharepoint REST services (Sharepoint 2013) to walk the folder and file structure of my Sharepoint server and, determine as I go, the Role Assignments (and subsequently
Permissions) on those folders and files. I'm using an Administrator credentials and I'm actually able to successfully do it but I've run into some caveats. All the caveats begin with this; when I'm examining a folder, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/ListItemAllFields
I receive either an empty list or an error response doc when following the link supplied for ListItemAllFields. When following that kind of link for folders, I either get:
<d:ListItemAllFields
m:null="true"
/>
or an error response document that says "The object specified does not belong to a list." When I hit the /ListItemAllFields endpoint for files, I receive a response with a link for Role Assignments which subsequently also works and I get the
info I need. So, is this a bug? Why does the link returned from Sharepoint work for files and not folders? So, google, google, google, and I discover that there is another possible way to get at the Role Assignments (and that the object does, indeed, belong
to a list!).
If I know the Title (or the guid) of the folder in question, I can use the following endpoint:
/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')
If I use that endpoint, I get the information I would have expected to get from following /ListItemAllFields and the subsequent Role Assignments links all work and I get what I need. If there's a bug and this is how I have to work around it, that's fine
but I have yet to discover how to dynamically determine the Title of a given folder nor am I sure if all Titles are supposed to be unique within a given Sharepoint server. I'm assuming that the folder name as represented in the server relative URL and the
Title may be different and this is where my newbishness may start to shine if I'm misunderstanding what a "List" is supposed to be in Sharepoint. Anyway, I did find that I could use the Properties endpoint to perhaps get the Title, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/Properties
gives me:
<d:vti_x005f_listtitle>Development</d:vti_x005f_listtitle>
whose value I assume I could then supply to the /GetByTitle endpoint and be golden. However, "vti_x005f_listtitle" just sounds a little too deep to be something I should be relying on but maybe that's kosher. That's part of what I'm trying to
find out. Also, if there is a way to use the Sharepoint REST API to discover the guid of a given object, then I could look it up in that way.
So, in summary:
1. Am I going about getting folder Role Assignment information in the wrong way? Based on the CSOM examples I've seen, I believe I'm doing it correctly and that the answer to #2 below is a resounding "Yes!" :)
2. Is it a bug if I'm not able to use /ListItemAllFields on folders using the server relative url?
3. If I'm supposed to use GetByTitle as a workaround, am I discovering that Title correctly through /Properties? Seems quite circuitous and awkward. Are Titles required to be unique throughout a given Sharepoint server?
4. If I'm supposed to use the guid, how can I use the REST interface to discover an object's guid? Once we get down to the Role Assignments and other links, the guid appears in those links but I don't know how to discover it independently if that's the
path I should use to get the data I described above.

Upon further research, I'll answer my own question for the benefit of some other potential future newbie. The answer to question number 1 above is "Not exactly.". The server relative URLs I was using corresponded to lists (which are
returned as a collection through /_api/web/lists). I was treating them mentally like regular folders. That, coupled with the fact that accessing their data as I showed above returns a ListItemAllFields link, made me think that was the way to get
the Role Assignments just as I would for files and, as it turns out, "real" folders and sub-folders created under these lists. That was the other problem with thinking of these lists as regular folders. So, ListItemAllFields works on
all files and folders in a list. However, if you want Role Assignments for the lists themselves, you can keep track of the Titles and\or Guids from the /_api/web/lists that you're interested in (in my case, all non-hidden "document library"
type lists) and then access those Role Assignments as I discussed in questions 3 and 4 above. For example, from the /_api/web/lists collection from my test server, the "Development" document library Role Assignments are accessable via /_api/Web/Lists(guid'cd242eeb-aafa-4efa-aecc-9bbdf8e3d459')/RoleAssignments
or /_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')/RoleAssignments.

Adding files and folders to TFS

I have created some folders and files from command prompt tool(extjs). Then i have opened Visual studio 2013, click "view all files" and include all folders and files into project.
The problem is that when i check in the project to source control, the files and folders are not there.
CMD creates too many files and folders that I would add each one manually to my project - this way folder is visible in TFS.
So, how can I add folders and files created outside visual studio to my TFS project?

Problems importing and adding, files and folders

When I try to add a folder to my itunes library the little box pops up like it is importing it but when its done the songs are not in the library,and no where to be found. And if I try to add the folder again it doesn't do anything! I tried adding just a file instead of the whole folder, and also tried to import them and it does the same thing. It is doing it on my Desktop as well as my laptop! It has got me really frustrated. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am running the current version of itunes (7.1.1)
My desktop uses XP and my laptop uses Vista

Im having a similar problem, I just bought a new lap with windows vista and installed the last version of itunes.
I try to add all the folder in which I stored all my music(9500 songs), that is an external usb hard drive . When I add the file that contains all the music, itunes start to work but after a few songs it suddenly stops and you cant not do anything else ,the only option is to close it.
I tried several times, I unsitall and istall itunes several times and happens the same. I also remove the song in which itunes stops and again happens the same. i wonder if someone could help me. Or if there is some kind of incompatibility between itunes and windows vista.

Cannot add files or folders to Library

iTunes was working fine, synching, ripping, adding MP3's.
All of a sudden, it stop being able to add MP3's from my harddrive. I can still rip CD's fine.
I've tried reinstalling both iTunes and the iPod software, but no dice.
No errors pop up. Sometimes the Processing box will pop up and show the progress bar and the filenames, but then nothing happens. Most of the time iTunes doesn't even blink.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Found my own answer. Turns out the MP3's I had were corrupt. Just reformatted/reinstalled windows, and I guess when I burned them they didn't cook right to the DVD-RW and are hooped now.
They have file sizes, but are not valid MP3 files.

Having issues adding new package in brushes library?

i purchased a symbol package online and it came with these instructions ... http://www.vectorian.net/pages/how-to-us… that i followed to a T. the problem.,. well the symbols and the brushes do not show in library for me to use. the package name showed in the library.. but when i click on it, the list is empty. what may i be doing wrong? how can i get them to show in the library permanently please?
by the way, when i open the downloaded package using Ai, the symbols are there and i am able to open them no problem. but i can't get them to populate in the brushes, symbols library.

You can load any AI file as a library file. Just use Window>Brush Library>Other Library and navigate to the AI file.
Notice how they are all listed as AI files.
And here's the Grunge brushes vector pack.ai as a library

Adding Folders to Library in Windows Vista

I have recently replaced my notebook with one running Windows Vista, and have a fairly annoying problem with adding music to my iTunes library.
All of my music is stored in a shared folder on the hard drive of a different computer on my home network. The folder (and all of its contents, down to the individual MP3 files) are visible from the notebook. In fact, I can choose the "Add a File..." option in iTunes, and browse to and select individual songs to add to the iTunes library.
The "Add a Folder..." option chokes (and does nothing) when I tell it to expand the "Network" choices.
Similarly, when I go into "Preferences..." and try to set the networked folder as my default iTunes folder, I get the same browsing window, and it refuses to show me any of the four computers on the network when I attempt to expand the "Network" selection.
I have found that I can drag-and-drop folders of songs from the networked drive straight into iTunes, but this is really a clunky fix, and it doesn't help me designate the networked folder as the default folder to save new music files.

Not sure if I made myself clear. I meant the folder where it stops, minus the one before it.
Might be something to report to Apple support. Since it works if you drag it over...something's wrong. The music data is the same but the method iTunes is using to get at the data is different.

Adding folders to library fails to complete

Hello.
After upgrading to iTunes 5.0.1.4 I noticed much of my library entries had disappeared.
I then attempted to re-add my hard drive files by doing a File | Add Folder to Library, like I always have done in the past. iTunes will then add up to 1,722 songs (11.62 Gb), then stop. It just stops like it's finished the process -- no error, nothing.
It adds the files as they are sequentially stored on my drive. I was able to locate the point at which the adding stops. I removed what I thought might be the offending folder from the storage device, then re-attempted. The next time, it stops at the very next folder.
I was, however, successful in loading all the folders by dragging & dropping "My Music" folder into iTunes.
Anyone, anyone??
Bueller, Bueller??

'Add files/folders to library...' comes up short

Long long long time MusicMatch User and have started using iTunes thanks to Pepsi's promotion.
When trying to import my existing music into iTunes, the process comes up about 20% short. A vast majority of my song files are in mp3 with a handfull of unprotected wma's which have already been converted by itunes.
Continue to do either 'add files' or 'add folder', even dragging individual files doesn't work.
Is there a limit to the number of files in the iTunes library, or a limit to the number of folders down a file can be?
The files it seems to be skipping are completely random. Of the ones I've tracked down specifically, all but one or two song from an album will have imported. But when there are about 500 songs that are not importing, I haven't looked for a pattern yet.

Some thoughts to offer:
I remember reading here that some songs or folders may not get 'Added' if their titles or other info had special characters that iTunes could not import. Sorry I could not find the post to reference. You may want to investigate this in your music files.
There is a way to try the 'Consolidate' and recover from it if it changes your ID tags. Make a backup copy of the iTunes database file (the .ITL file in the 'iTunes' folder). Run the consolidate feature. It will make copies of the files on the PC, not move them. If you do not like the results, then replace the current .ITL file with the backup one and your iTunes will be as before. You just need to delete the copies of your music files.

Inadvertantly added music files to the wrong library

I created a 2nd library in itunes and then inadvertantly added music files to it instead of to the original library. My original intent was to move files from the 1st library to the 2nd but I forgot we had added music that hadn't been scanned into itunes yet and when I hit "scan music" it started to add all those files to the new library, so now what?
And how do I move the files I originally intended to move from the 1st library into the 2nd?

Karen,
There is not really such a thing as "move" in that context. Get copies of any files that you wish to add to the 2nd library, and add them. When you are sure that this has been correctly accomplished, then go into the 1st library and delete whatever you don't want to be there.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.
