ITunes 11 deletes newly added m4v and mp4 video files!

I'm really loathing the new iTunes for a number of reasons.. but this one really takes the cake!
When I try to add an M4V or MP4 video file, iTunes deletes the file and does not add it to the library!
I never had any issues with 10.7.. and seeing as there is no way of reverting back that I can find.. any help in how to solve this... or is this one of those wonder new "feature's" I now have to contend with?
Thanks

Are you frustrated that whether you drag and drop your video files to iTunes 11, or add video files from “Add files to Libray” or “Add folder to Libray”, nothing is imported even though the files are in iTunes 11 supported MP4, MOV or M4V video format.
If iTunes 11 won’t import MP4, MOV or M4V, first make sure your install QuickTime Player. Even though you hire VLC or Perian or any other media player to take care of your video playback instead of QuickTime, you still need to install QuickTime in order to add video to iTunes 11 for transfer to iPad, iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
f you install QuickTime player but still can’t add MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11, there is no other solution but to convert MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11 supported video MP4.
Visit the Step-by-Step Guide on how to successfully import all kinds of MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11
The guide also applies to import AVI, WMV, MKV, etc to iTunes 11.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Trial Version  - Error when importing mts and mp4 video files

    First time using Adobe Premiere Pro (and I'm using the trial version).  When I try to import an mts video file (and tried to import an mp4 file as well), I get the error: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working.  And then the program crashes. Please help.
    My computer specs: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1,Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.2GHz, RAM: 4.00 GB, System type: 64-bit

    Hi Catherine,
    Welcome to the Adobe forums.
    Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
    1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
    2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
    Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.
    Regards,

  • How do you move or can I move Itune folders (Movies), (TV Shows) and (Home Videos) to other internal hard drives (running out of space) on my computer's main hard drive and have Itunes recongize where they are?

    I built my own computer which has 4 internal hard drives with 3 internal hard drives that are 3tb.  With my movies and tv shows, I need to know if I can move the Itunes folders (Movies, TV shows and Home Video's) and move each one of them to 3 seperate internal hard drives while Itunes can still find them to play with my apple tv.  Does anyone know how I can do it?

    While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes.  Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located.  There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky.  If it's just one or two try:  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

  • Synching iTunes/iPhone - newly added songs

    Hello,
    Not sure if there is a way but when I add new music to iTunes is there a way to make my iPhone recognize the newly added music and just add those?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    This is definitely possible. Take a look at the section titled "Syncing Automatically" in the article below for more information.

  • Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information

    Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files.  Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files.  I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes.  Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.  64-bit iTunes.

    @tposchi
    I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it.

  • Updated to 7.0 and lost video file purchased from iTunes

    I updated my iTunes today and a video file I purchased from iTunes in February is gone. The file is still on my iPod because I have not sync'ed it yet. I know that once I do the file is lost for good. Is there a way of preserving it and putting it back into iTunes without repurchasing it?
    Thanks,

    This happened to me, but I lost all my purchased music files when I downloaded itunes 7. I should of waited, so all the bugs could be worked out, cause I lost over $100 worth of songs, and have no idea how to get them back. Anybody?

    Make sure you are doing the delete when looking at your library ("Music"), not a playlist.

  • I have backed up my iPad  using iTunes to windows 8 Lenora laptop but I could not find my files and play video files  in my laptop.

    I have backed up my iPad  using iTunes to windows 8 Lenora laptop but I could not find my files and play video files  in my laptop

    You cannot access files in the backup on your computer.
    Do you mean that you synced with iTunes and transferred your purchased videos and app documents? If that is what you mean, what videos are you talking about? If they are videos that you took with the iPad, they do not sync to iTunes. What files?
    What exactly are you trying to do? Details please.

  • Cannot Add MP4 Video File!!! HELP!!!

    I have got the 80GB IPod and have added a few videos, each MP4 files about 164MB in size. However, when i tried to add a MP4 video file that is 216MB it does not upload into my library? It is definately the correct file type and I have about 73GB left in memory so what could the problem be?

    They are not formatted correctly.
    Just because a file is mp4 does not guarantee it is
    playable by the iPod.
    Correct file formatting :
    Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps,
    640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity
    version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC
    audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v,
    .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768
    Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline
    Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160
    Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
    file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by
    480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with
    AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in
    .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    PS. Hard drive space is not referred to as memory-it
    is storage space. You have 73 GB of storage space
    left, not memory.
    It IS formatted correctly, it has all the attributes mentioned in the video file format supported by IPod mentioned above and the file is identical (apart from it is 216MB opposed to 164MB) to the other video files already stored on my IPod.
    Thank you for the wise up on the IPod 'lingo'though!
    So any other ideas?

  • Mp4 video files in SWFs- How to embed?

    The Flash Player 9.0.115 and up can play mp4 files, but getting them in the swf to begin with is not easy!
    Below are three different methods I've tried, and the results.
    • Instance A: I place an FLVPlayback Component on the stage, but it is not possible to set the source video if it is .m4v, .mp4, or .f4v, or flv.
    • Instance B: If I encode a video file as an f4v, I can use actionscript 3 to set the source to an F4V encoded file, but only IF I change the file extension to .flv . If I keep it as f4v. The video won't play.
    vidplayer.source = mymp4Movie.flv;
    vidplayer.play();
    • Instance C: Streaming works. All you have to do is add an mp4: prefix to the file, or in some cases, remove the file extension altogether.

    If it helps to understand, here's the project— A SWF/projector is playing mp4 video files from local media- a DVD.
    This is a tough nut. Thanks to anyone who can shed any light on this.

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

    How do i go about acheiving this?

    Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices.  Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media.  There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins?  You don't need them with HTML5 video.
    Copy & paste this code into a new, blank document.  Change video files to your own.

  • Nokia Lumia mp4 videos files

    Ive just transferred my micro sd card out of my Samsung tocco lite into my Nokia lumia 520 windows phone, the 520 will not play the MP4 video files on the sd card that I shot on the samsung and comes up with the error code c00d5212,the resolution of the MP4 photos are 320 x 240,according to the phone spec the Nokia is suppose to play MP4 files, anybody help please.

    Hi jeeby,
    Have you tried reinserting and removing the memory card? You can also see this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop to know more about the supported video formats. 
    You can also try to convert it to another supported format using a converter software then check if it will work.

  • What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

    What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
    For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
         var video:Video;
         var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
         connect_nc.connect(null);
         var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
         stream_ns.client = this;
         function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {  
             if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
                 stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
         stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
         video = new Video();
         addChild(video);
         video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
         stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
    For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well.  Place the following code in the timeline...
         fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
         function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
             fp.play();
    To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page.  Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.
