ITunes 11.0.2 not importing... keeps locking up...!

Since upgrading the software, I've had nothing but problems! It seems I may have narrowed down the issue to that everytime iTunes tries to import something, it locks up and stops working. This is pretty much across the board, whether its trying to rip a CD, import an MP3 file, or even download a podcast!
Any thoughts?
Solutions?
Thanks!

Marydore, this seemed to work for me [assuming you are on a Mac as well]: With iTunes Program closed I changed the name of iTunes folder [where all the music and apps were located] to "itunesbackup". Then I opened iTunes [where it only showed "cloud" stuff in the library, stuff I had purchased and could download again]. I noticed that when I did that, iTunes created a new "iTunes" folder and directory tree [which was different from how the folder was organized before, compared to the how the folders were in "itunesbackup"]. Then I just moved the music from "itunesbackup" into the music folder in the new "iTunes" folder [the one that it autocreated]. Then I went back to iTunes Program and selected "add to library." Then directed it to the new music directory.
Everything seems to be working now! Sorry if I did a poor job explaining it, Im not the "programmer" type. I never deleted anything, just moved files from one folder to another... Let me know if it works for you [if you try it]

  • LR5 will not let me import, keeps locking up in develop mode, how do I fix this?

    About a week ago LR5 started working very slowly in the develop module. Then it started locking up while doing edits or toggling from one view to the other forcing me to repeatedly close and reopen it.  Then, it failed to complete an import. Now, it won't do an import at all.

    Hey 6bigdog6,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like the album has been synced to your iPhone from iTunes. To delete synced photos, you’ll want to uncheck the album in iTunes:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    1. In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    2. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    3. Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
      Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    4. Click Apply.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 not importing mp3 files but will play the mp3 files

    Hi
    I recently updated my iTunes to v10.6.3 on my mac. However, I cant seem to add new music to my iTunes library. Dropping and dragging doesnt work even though the '+' curser appears and importing music using command + O doesnt work either. There is no indication of the music being analysed or anything.
    However, when I click on an mp3 file it opens and plays in iTunes but will not be added to the library. If I click on the mp3 file again from finder, it will play in iTunes from the last point..
    Does anyone have any ideas of wrong? Its frustrating me because I need to sync music to my iPhone and I cant
    Thanks

    Ye playing the file should automatically add it to iTunes but its not since I updated iTunes.
    The music plays and I can see the the time bar in the window on the top of iTunes but the file is not located in the iTunes library or anywhere in iTunes so I cant right click it.
    At the moment the mp3 file is on my desktop. Normally dropping and dragging it into iTunes adds it into my 'iTunes' folder in the 'Music' folder.. but this is not happening. I've tried manually adding the file into the 'iTunes' folder using the appropriate folder titles etc.. but iTunes will not detect the new mp3's. Wierd!!
    I think I might just have to re-install iTunes

  • Itunes 10.2.2 not importing all files within a directory

    Hello all, here is my very frustrating issue.
    I am running Itunes 10.2.2.14 on a x64bit Windows 7 machine and i am having an issue importing my full library from an external USB harddrive. Originally all the music on this external drive was at one point in time completely imported and functioning in iTunes. The short version of this long story is that I moved my main personal server from windows 7 to ubuntu, after installing VM player and attaching a external HD with my music iTunes will only import 7% of my music!! I have doubled checked permissions and this is not an issue. This is also not a format issue as the mass majority of my music is .mp3.
    I have cleared the music library several times, and even used another PC to import the folder and have found that iTunes appears to be importing the exact same 7% of my music library. The only article i have found that is even close to providing a explaination is page 4 on this discussion here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2566265?start=45&tstart=0
    Although this workaround appears to be for a Mac, is there any way to do this in Windows/Linux?
    I do not have this issue importing into Ubuntu Rythmbox. If this is really an issue of extended attributes where did they come from and why is iTunes rejecting the import with absolutely no message/errors?
    This is a major bug (to me) as i am currently unable to sync the mass majority of my music, much of which was purchased from Apple!?!?!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    UPDATE--> Manually adding folders (drag from explorer and drop on music libray) appears to be functioning as a work around. I have been testing individual folders and so far so good.
    While this may be a workaround i have HUNDREDS of folders! =(

  • Itunes 11.0.1 not importing CDs properly

    I have just updated to itunes 11.0.1 and now find that it won't import cds properly.
    The import window functions as it should and the CD imports onto the hard disk. (I can find the files using Finder).  However, itunes does not show the files.  If I use the search within itunes I can see the album title. However, when I click on it, I don't get to the album.  I just get all the albums on my mac.  If I scroll down to where the album should be in the library (say B for Black Moses) then the music isn't there.  If I click on the file in Finder, it plays in itunes but still doesn't show up in the library. 
    This has only happened with the last update and has happened with two separate cds (I haven't tried to import more).  Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?  I have itunes match running on the computer too. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

    p.s. I know that Apple don't both reading or responding to comments on here, but seriously, your products are becoming a laughing stock.  Apple maps is beyond a joke and iOS6 was total @@@@.  Why can't you test products properly before releasing them? You are after all the biggest company in the world.  There is no way I'm getting an iphone 5 and when my mac is eventually replaced, I doubt it will be with another apple product.
    [End of rant]

    This sounds like it might be a network problem.
    First, quit then relaunch iTunes and see if  that helps.
    Second shut down the computer and pier cycle the Internet router and power up the computer. Let us know how those steps work.

  • Itunes 11.0.2 not importing videos

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently upgraded to the newest version of itunes (11.0.2) and I find that I am unable to import videos. I've tried mp4's and mpeg's and nothing happens. I've checked the entire library (Including home videos) and nothing ever shows up. I need to import the videos so I can watch them on my ipad mini. I have tried converting the movies to every format but itunes will not even try to import them. I've tried dragging and adding the files but to no avail.
    Is there a solution to this problem or do I have to wait for a new itunes?
    Thanks,
    Muscateers

  • Converting from WMP to itunes - some albums are not imported as one

    I am importing my whole music collection. Some albums are imported into itunes and show up as single albums as they are supposed to. Some show up as multiple albums - particularly if they have different artists for different songs. The track numbers are correct. For example, in one "album," the correct song is labeled track 6. In another "album" (same real album - different artist), the correct song is labeled track 2, etc. These all show as single albums (as they should) under WMP. How can I get itunes to believe that all albums with the same name are the same album even if there are different artists on different tracks?
    Thanks

    Here is an article with good examples on that.

  • Itunes 11.1.2 not importing CD

    The system reads my CD drive, but when trying to import to Itunes, it shows a message for error while converting.
    Please help!!!!

    Well, it seems to have corrected itself.  It is now working. Did several reloads of the same disc, tried others and then after a looong time of ball spinning and noise, it workerd.

  • My iTunes Store app will not open, keeps crashing.

    I cannot open iTunes Store app on my phone. It will open for a split second and close immediately.

    Hi there SarahSinisi,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Notes app keeps locking up

    I just bought a new MacBook Air (13").  I used the Time Machine backup of my Macbook Pro to copy over all of my files and applications.  All went well except for an issue with Notes.
    I have Notes syncing via iCloud to my iPhone 5, the Macbook Pro, iPad 3 and a couple of minis.  All works just fine. I can start up Notes on the Air and the existing notes pop up as expected.  However, if I attempt to cloes, edit or create a new note, the program simply freezing up and a couple of minutes later crashes.
    Possibly I need to delete any copied notes but don't know where they are located.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Do a backup. Try running Disk Utilities/Repair Permissions. If the problem still exists try the below action.
    Application corruption problems: You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist for the application. If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below. It does work with Mountain Lion. http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/  You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • ITunes 8.2 refuses to import *.wma files

    I have a grand total of 15 songs in WMA format. I know that when I was using iTunes on Windows, and even likely on Mac before, I had no issues - they were converted into AAC (I got the little message box and all). Now they don't react - I tried adding them to the library, dragging them to iTunes, and opening them via iTunes - with no result whatsoever (not even an error message). They work as they open without problems via Quick Time.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    iTunes for Mac will not import nor play Windows Media Audio files. QuickTime will play them if you have the freeware Flip4Mac codec installed, but that won't work in iTunes. You may be able to convert them with EasyWMA or with QuickTime Pro and the Flip4Mac import codec (not the free version).

  • Why can I not import aif files to garage band?

    Once I have created an aiff file in iTunes, why can I not import those files into Garage Band?  I'd like to be able to edit some of those files.

    I go to garage band and click on create a new project, then browse through the finder and files I want to import are all grayed out -- aiff AND wav files.
    You first need to create a new project  - in the "new Project panel" select a template (Guitar, piano, ...), not "Open an existing file".
    When the project window opens, drag your aiff or wav file onto an empty space in the Timeline, or open the Media Browser from the footer bar in GarageBand and import an aiff song from your iTunes Library.

  • My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    this may happen on external drives if:
    The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for external drive
    Close iTunes
    Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
    Mount drive again
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
    If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
    The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for internal hard drive
    Close iTunes
    Reboot system
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
    Reboot system, restart iTunes
    If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.
