Itunes 7.2 cannot import music folders or files!

After the updates, I've installed itunes 7.2. However, when I start to import music folders or music files [mp3 and other formats], it doesn't work or try to import the source to the library! It also happens to my CDs and my backup CDs!
What is going on apple?

I am running iTunes version 7.7.1.11 at the moment. You can verify that you are indeed using the most up to date version of the program by going to Help > About iTunes.
When you say that adding files to the library is not working, what do you mean? Is it not recognizing the files, is the application failing to convert the files other than MP3/AAC to a playable format?
Also, iTunes does not move the original media file to where it is storing the library. By default, iTunes leaves the file where it is and makes a reference to it in its library file. You can go into the Preferences dialog box, select the Advanced tab, and select the checkbox next to "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" and click the OK button in order to have iTunes only manipulate files literally stored in its library.
Does that address your concerns?

  • After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists

    After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists.  Help!

    To be more clear:
    1.  My music and my playlists are on an external drive.  My playlists are saved as .m3u files.
    2.  Everything was working perfectly before the iTunes upgrade yesterday.  But now when I use the iTunes "File/Library/Import Playlist" feature, the playlist that is imported is EMPTY.
    3.  I can open the .m3u file and see that it contains the songs with their full path.  So the .m3u file contains the correct information, it is just not importing into iTunes like it used to.
    4.  Apparenty when iTunes upgraded, it changed some setting and now everything is out of sync.
    I am so stumped.

  • Updated to 12.1.0.71 and cannot import music from a cd or from a folder.

    Updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 and now cannot import music from a cd or from a folder.  I ran the diagnostics test, and itunes can find the cd, but will not import it.  Itunes will play the cd though.
    Any suggestions?  Is there a bug fix coming?
    Thank you.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
    You may want to install QuickTime also. Links in the user tip.

  • Imported music folders windows explorer path

    System: Windows 7 64-bit
    Itunes: 11.0.1.12
    Earlier by importing music folders manually (with option that itunes is managing folders and copy folders to media library automatically) the new created folders for music were put to ...\iTunes Media\Music\*.
    But since recently (may be update to itunes 11) the new created folders by importing are saved directly in ...\iTunes Media\*
    Can I change the target folder where music folders are created? I'd like to have Music in ...\iTunes Media\Music\*, Audiobooks in ...\iTunes Media\Audiobooks\* as before...
    Thanks for help.

  • I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files.

    I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.

    Repair security permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
    Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.

  • Cannot import music already on my computer into itunes

    I have tried dragging and dropping both music folders and individual files (songs) into my itunes music library but when I do so nothing shows up in the view screens. Nothing is being transfered.
    I have also tried importing using the file tab and adding folders or files command and this does not work either.
    The music files are .rmj, I don't know if this matters or not.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thank you.

    +"The music files are .rmj, I don't know if this matters or not."+
    iTunes can handle AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF and Apple Lossless. You need to convert them to one of those formats.

  • I cannot import music into itunes

    I use the request "add folder to itunes" but the files do not appear in my library. Neither does the request "add files to itunes". I am using windows and have the newest available version of Itunes. What can I do to successfully import multiple folders into itunes?

    You don't import files into the iTunes Media Folder. You import into iTunes. Post your iTunes issues in the iTunes forum:

  • Cannot import music into my itunes account

    i get the following message whenever i try to import music, which i have purchased, into iTunes "you do not have enough access privileges"
    I am the administrator, i went to iTunes info, selected my self, gave myself read and write privileges and made myself owner of the account.  Why can't i import?

    It's pretty much as simple as selecting all, then a drag and drop into your iTunes library:

  • Cannot import music:  "Don't Have Write Access for your iTunes Media Folder

    Subject states the case. Here is what changed. I run a Mac Mini with an external hard drive with about 200gb of music (HD-1). I have a second external HD that I use to back up with Time Machine (HD-2). HD-1 crashed so I bought a new one. Well I want to use the new HD (HD-3) for the Time Machine backup, so I copied the iTunes folder from HD-2 to HD-3, erased HD-2 and then copied the file back from HD-3 to HD-2.
    iTunes has now found all my music and plays great. Then I tried to add a disk and got the message above. I used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the internal hard drive, which took 17 minutes and found a ton of problems. Got one "Warning: SUID file system/library/core has been modified and will not be repaired. Disk Utility won't let me do the same repair to the external HD-2.
    I also checked info and the permissions are "read and write" on the disks. I'm in over my head already to do this much and now stumped.
    Any ideas? THANKS!

    Problem Solved! Thanks to information I learned in an excellent article by Jesse David Hollington, "Transferring your iTunes Library" from iLounge. Published in Tutorials, Monday, Sept. 21, 2009.
    I created a new library and now I can add media.
    1) Go into iTunes Advanced preferences and change the Media Folder path to a new location. In my case I created a new folder on the same external drive as the "bad" library copy named (not creatively) "new 2011". Do this by selecting "change" and choosing this new folder.
    2) Go to File>Library>Organize Library. Select Consolidate files, then OK.
    This will move all your media to the new file. I have 180 GB of music, so this took a few hours. In my case, in this new location I am now able to add music.
    3) As iTunes made new copies when it moved the files, the old "bad" music folder still exists. After you confirm that your media is in the new location and working, you can delete this old copy.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Itunes will not recognize imported music

    Help!
    Ever since I downloaded the itunes update, which seems to be a popular problem, my music files have disappeared. This includes music I have purchased. The music plays successfully on my ipod, but when I try to play it in itunes, the exclamation point appears and says the file cannot be located. To my dismay, the file folders are no longer in itunes.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes AND quick time as suggested but to no avail. This is a lot of time and money gone, so why did this happen? How can I fix it? Can I prevent this from happening again? AND- most importantly- can I get back the music I paid for?
    Thanks

    Sounds like the library file got corrupt or you have moved the files thru windows explorer. It could of got corrupt if you installed iTUnes while antivirus was running or not disabled.

  • How can you tell iTunes 7 to ignore other music folders causing duplicates

    I just built a new PC and my iTunes library is on a 250 gig disk along with many other folders with music (drum loops, systems sounds, sample content, etc) that I don't want showing up in my iTunes library. Many of the folders contain backups of various thumb drives so there are identical songs in multiple directories showing up as duplicates in iTunes.
    Preferences shows my library in a single location.... anyone know how to restrict iTunes to only using this location ? I don't remember hitting an "import my entire hard disk" button, but I may have. I can rip out and re-install if needed, but I don't want iTunes to remember all thge other folders outside of it's home directory... did i miss something really simple ?
    Help ! I have about 1000 duplicate songs, some with 3 or 4 copies that reside in the portable media backup directories !

    To do this, in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced Tab>General Tab and then uncheck the "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" box.
    That has nothing to do with iTunes looking for music on your computer.
    Keep iTunes music folder organized will create a folder hierarchy of artist and album names that contains all relevant audio files with the correct track names and order.
    When you run iTunes for the first time (only), it asks to search your computer for music.
    After the first time, the ONLY music that will get added to iTunes is the music you add. iTunes does not add music based on what you put in folders. It does not "watch" to see if anything is added to a folder.
    If you do not want music copied to the iTunes music folder when adding to library, (and you want the music in your own folders somewhere else), set it in the prefs.
