ITunes does not want to import folder

Hi there.
Vista Prof with latest iTunes.
I lost my harddrive without any backups of the songs on my iPod. I have read a couple of replies to people with the same problem. One was to import the songs via the "Add folder to library" option. Before I chose this, I have managed to copy all the songs from my iPod (as an external drive) to my PC. I have ticked the option to also copy the songs to the iTunes library when importing folders.
Problem:
Nothing happens when I choose "Add folder to library".
Am I doing something wrong or what else can I try?
Thanx for your help.
Deon

I am having this EXACT same problem.
I changed computers, copied all of my files onto my iPod, put them back onto the hard drive on the new computer and they simply WILL NOT import into iTunes. I've tried drag-and-drop, I've tried import folder and I've tried import file. Import file will work, but I'm literally having to add files one-by-one. It's an utterly maddening task, and it's one that has worked without fail for me in the past, so I'm tempted to blame Vista.
I too have my settings such that they will import/copy the files into the appropriate folders.

My itunes does not want to work downloaded 5 times and still comes up with an error

my itunes does not want to work downloaded 5 times and still comes up how can I fix this ?

I have the same &*@#($@% problem....and I'm ******! I've tried everything. What error message are you getting? I am getting "Itunes folder could not be found or created. The default location is in my music folder". I've downloaded it a million times. It worked at first by going to a specific song and clicking it and/or plugging in my IPOD, but that stopped also.

I went to iCloud and my mail doesn't recognize my password but even worst my iTunes does not want to open because it says my library is blocked somewhere on a hard disk where I have no access ...

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

HT1918 I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

Itunes does not play after importing into timeline

I have looked at similar topics in this discussion forum but still unable to get the answers.Basically the problem is that after importing (purchased) itunes(6) music(and it imports OK)there is no music when played back in the time line.In the imovie palette (audio view) the itunes music plays normally.CD is also greyed out even if there is a CD in the CD drive,so obviously CD tracks cannot be played.Itunes 'by itself' plays normally and CD is also recognised.Voice overs thru microphone,original audio from footage also plays normally.All boxes ticked on the right/computer volume set to high etc so setting seems allright.I am using formac studio to import analogue footage and can hear the original sound when importing.Using imovie 3.03 on ibook.this may/maynot be relevant-on the G3 imac in imovie(3.03)the itunes/CD tracks imports and plays on the timeline,however the original footage soundtrack sounds like gunfire from a machine gun.It is normal with the imported itunes soundtrack switched off.
Grateful for any thoughts/adv

Hi rav - are you sure that if you have a CD installed you cannot see its tracks in the Audio Pane? Even though 'Audio CD' is greyed out, the contents of the CD are still there and accessible.
Can you convert the track to mp3 format? iMovie does accept mp3s. Doing so might break the deadlock.
Sorry, I can't help with your other audio issue.

This has never been a problem in the past, but when i insert a CD into my macbook, iTunes does not ask me if I want to import it and it ejects the CD. I have tried several different CD's and can neither play nor import them.

If that doesn't help you can try a cleaning disc, or a shot of compressed air but chances are good that your optical drive has failed. You can either replace it or buy an inexpensive external unit (but not Apple's as it won't work on macs with a built in drive working or not).

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Launch iTunes.
That is all you need to do.

I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

My itunes does not get the names of all tracks which i import.

When i import a cd into itunes, it does not get any track names. Why is this.
Also, itunes does not connect to the music store. It tells me that i should check my connection etc etc. Are these problems related, and what can i do to fix it?

Let me guess, did you just install/upgrade iTunes?
If so, then it's surely your security software (firewall, web accelerator, privacy filters, etc) that is blocking iTunes.
The iTunes "upgrade" is actually an uninstall, then total new install, of iTunes and QuickTime. Many security packages such as Norton, Zone Alarm, Google Web accelerator, McAfee, PCillin (...the list is long) see this new iTunes install as a malicious threat, and block out the previous settings without telling you.
Go to your security software vendor's website and see if they have directions for allowing iTunes & QT back in the list of programs allowed to access the internet.

My phone does not want to come on pass the 'connect to itunes' logo. I have a iphone 3Gs. It happened after I tried to restore it after updating it through itunes on my computer.

My phone does not want to come on pass the 'connect to itunes' logo on the screen. This happened after I was updating the phone software through itunes, and itunes said I needed to restore my phone if it is to work with itunes, which I did. An error (1015) box popped up and... well.... here we are. I have an iphone 3G. The support coverage is expired.
I just want to return to my phone functioning as before.

Was this iPhone jailbroken?

Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.

Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.
First, when trying to sync ipod touch to Itunes, nothing happened. After that, Itunes suggested downloading and installing updates but now updates will not finish installation correctly and launch error messages. Any ideas?
TKS !

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736B3s, or a different error code? If they're different, what codes are you getting in Windows Update?

Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star.<br />
Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.
