ITunes file processing erorr

I downloaded an TV show from iTunes and it downloaded fine, but when it was trying to save the file to TV Shows (computer said processing file), it crashed iTunes. I e-mailed iTunes support and they put it back in my items to be downloaded, but it did the same thing again. I have tried rebuilding my library and also reinstalling iTunes, but no avail. I have also checked my setting about storage and they are fine. Any help?
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

1. Exit iTunes (if not possible, force-kill it in task manager, Ctrl-Alt-Del > Task Manager, right click on iTunes and select "End task").
2. Delete every folder in this directory:

Windows 7:
\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\

3. Start iTunes and start your downloads again.

ITouch does not appear in iTunes - file processes missing

I recently updated to 9.2 about three weeks ago. When I plug in my iTouch, it is recognized by Windows and charges; however, it never appears in iTunes. I have a classic iPod. iTunes will recognize it and sync it. When I looked into the file processes running and what should run according to apple, two files are missing: AppleMobileSync.exe. and SyncServer.exe. Would this be the reason the iTouch will not sync?
I have tried to restart the apple server as posted on the troubleshooting pages. I have done everything but restore my iTouch.
I really want to be able to move new music to my touch. I have upgraded to iTunes 9.2.1 hoping that was a fix. Any ideas?
iTouch: OS3.1.3 32GB
iTunes: 9.2.1

You may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service that is installed with iTunes.
See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747?viewlocale=en_US

So whenever I try to download the newest itunes file it won't let me finish the install process because I'm missing the "Itunes.msi" file whatever that is and I've done some searches but I cannot find the file. Anyone know what to do?

Automatically add files to iTunes not processing mp4 files on Windows 8.1

I have iTunes 12.1.1.4 install on a Windows 8 (x64) system. I have been using iTunes for quite some time and my library is located at c:\Music. On earlier versions (version 10 of iTunes for example) I would drop an MP4 file into c:\Music\Automatically Add to iTunes" directory and iTunes would process this file and add to either the movies or TV Shows section.
I have not used this feature in some time but now have started to. Currently, if I place the mp4 in that directory, iTunes does not do anything with the video. I have gotten to using "Add Folder to Library" and iTunes will then process the directory. I do have "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checked.
How can I get iTunes to recognize that a file has been placed in this directory and process it?

Two possibilities:
iTunes has processed the file but has categorized it as "Home Movies" rather than other video kinds - in this case you'll be able to find it under that heading in iTunes. Note that there's a bug in iTunes 12 where even if you then change the media kind - for example, to "TV Show" or "Movie" - it will be shown in the new category in the iTunes UI but the files will still be in the "Home Movies" folder under iTunes Media
If iTunes has not been able to process the file, you should find within a Not Added folder under Automatically Add to iTunes - the most likely cause of this is that the MP4 files are using a codec that is not compatible with iTunes.

HT1373 Can some one please assit me. I have purchased a new laptop and copied accross my file of music from Itunes I can see the music in my files, however i can copy music from CDs, however the Itunes file does not connect or will not interface into itun

Hello can some one assit me please. I have purchased a new lap top and copied my old itunes files accross so i do not loose all my music, and have to start again. I can play and see allof my tunes and play these. However I am unable to access the Itunes store through my itunes files. It will not interface at all. I can access itunes store through the Web, but not through the my ituntes file. I have gone in and authorised the laptop through the various process. Highly frustrated already paided a computer person to fix this. However hed deleated all files and started again he had it work and then I turned computer on again and it will not interface from the itune file to itunes, So if I copy a CD it will not tell you the name of the track. I cannot asscess the itunes store to action anything. Please assit me
Regards
Karen

I am not an expert, but assuming that you have a Windows or Mac folder with music in it and want to move that to a new laptop, I think you have to import it into iTunes. iTunes needs to associate each file with a link, so copying it over will not associate a link.
Delete the files and try importing.

Looking for a specific iphone app - it is supposed to help with identifying/transferring data to purchased itunes files

I had to get my iPhone 5c fixed today because there was a problem with syncing itunes files from my laptop; I changed the names of some of the song files/artists from my laptop and attempted to sync it to my iphone, but that created a corruption in the process, which in turn ceased any kind of syncing altogether. So my iphone is restored/fixed, but I still have to deal with having itunes purchases and old CD data listed as "Various Artists" or "Unknown Artist."
The Mac employer who helped me told me about an app that can identify those "Unknown Artist" files and interpret the data so that the iphone can recognize it. I know that's kind of a conveluted description, but he basically said that I can type in the name of an album, and the app will identify the relevent artist name/album artwork (within a database of music info, i'm guessing) and send it over to itunes.
I can't for the life of me remember the name of the app, but I know it starts with an S, and the app icon has the color red. I searched the music apps, but I can't seem to find it, so i'm guessing it's under a different category.
Does anybody know the app that i'm talking about?

ITunes files missing after MacBook Pro software restore

After my MacBook slowed to a crawl, I decided to restore the system software (OS and Applications) and ended up with much improved responsiveness and performance. I keep my ITunes files on an external hard drive. When the restore was completed, I set the library address to the external hard drive, and copied and pasted all my music, video and applications into Itunes window. My music came in fine, my movies are there as well, but my apps never showed, and my TV shows didn't appear either. I tried pasting 1 TV show file into ITunes TV Shows, and I tried pasting all of them. A small window came up telling me the system was "processing" the files, but they never showed up in the ITunes window. I also tried double clicking on the file name on the external hd (sometimes that imports them as well into ITunes window), but no luck there either. Any advice? Thanks.

This happened to my 2006 Macbook when the logic board was replaced under Applecare by my local service centre due to a known issue at the time (random shutdown). It didn't affect the warranty or cause me any problems so I didn't bother to go back to them although I later found out that they could and should have reset it at the time.
The only thing that might have been a problem if I had had more than one computer was that it made my iTunes account think that I had two computers authorized, i.e, a sort of "ghost" left over from the previous serial number. As you can only have five machines authorized with an account it means you have one less available to you even though you don't actually have that computer. This was not a problem to me as I didn't need five authorizations, and anyway you can go into your account once a year and reset your account. You may need to do this if you have five computers you need to play your iTunes purchases on.
Still lazy of the repair centre not to reset the serial number for you though.

Removing the CORRECT iTunes files from a hard drive

Help! Does anyone have any idea how to remove the old iTunes files. I want to delete them to free up space on my computer. I tried to move my library from this computer to a laptop. See below. I went through all the steps to move my iTunes library using my iPod. It didn't work. So now I have 2 versions of my iTunes library. I am afraid to delete the wrong one. I think it's just great(not) that iTunes will tell one how to "do something" but no one at Apple can tell one me how to undo it. This is an excerpt from "How to use your Ipod to move music to a new computer:
Click OK. Note: Clicking OK will cause iTunes to copy all of your music files to another location on your computer. You will need to manually remove the files from their previous locations if you are concerned about space_. If your computer does not have enough hard-drive space this process will not work correctly. Please speak to your computer manufacturer or Microsoft for more information on how to obtain more space to perform this action.

I downloaded audio files from a CD to an external
hard drive. Now I would like to put those files in
Itunes. I tried click and drag and cut and paste, no
luck.
What EXACTLY do you mean by you "downloaded" the files?
Did you transcode them into a form iTunes knows about? (e.g., MP3)
If you ripped them to MP3 or other compatible file format you should hust be able to drag and drop them onto the Music portion of your iTunes display. I do this hundreds of times a day - it's the logical equivalent of Add File or Add Folder to Library.

Transfer iTunes files from old MacBook to new MacBook Pro

How do I transfer just my iTunes files from a MacBook to my new MacBook Pro?

The best bet is for you to transfer your iTunes library to the new Mac with the Migration Assistant. When you first fire up a Mac and it asks if you want to move your data, that’s one chance, but you can also set up the new Mac as pristinely new and use Migration Assistant later. Just launch it from the Utilities folder and tell it what you want to do—you can transfer your library over Wi-Fi, but if both Macs have a FireWire port, it’s much faster to connect them that way and use Target Disk Mode. (Start up the old Mac holding down T, which mounts it as an external drive on the new Mac for Migration Assistant to mine—but Migration Assistant walks you through the whole process.) Migration Assistant doesn’t have a setting specifically for iTunes, but if you migrate your user account’s Music folder, that’ll contain both your media and your library database, which stores those preferences you want to transfer.
Migrate your Music folder to your new Mac. (Which we obviously can’t do here because the MacBook Air is a few hundred gigs light…)
If you’d rather do it manually, first move the files in your home folder’s Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder from the old Mac to the same location on the new Mac. Then export the iTunes Library database from your old Mac—go to File > Library > Export Library. Move the resulting XML file to the new Mac. Open iTunes, choose File > Library > Import Playlist and select that XML file.
Why not use Home Sharing within iTunes, you may wonder? I found out the hard way when recently combining songs from multiple laptops and external drives into one, new, started-from-scratch mega-library on my new iMac: Home Sharing is great for actually moving music, videos, and apps from one machine to another over the network, but it doesn’t move the metadata. My ratings and play counts were wiped out.

How to move iTunes files from MBP to MBA?

I have an older MPB (mid-2009) and an new MBA (late-2010). Planning on getting a new MBA after Mountain Lion comes out sometime in July.
That means moving files from the MPB and the MBA over to the new MBA at some point.
In preparation of that I want to get all my iTunes files onto the current MBA. Trouble is that I have used both the MBP & MBA to import music or videos as well as purchases into iTunes on both.
Without totally screwing things up what is the best way to get iTunes files (purchased or imported) from one Mac to the other without losing or corrupting things?
I already have a problem that there are movies on my iPhone4 that will not remove even though they are not checked when I sync.
How do you join iTunes from 2 Mac's? Do you have to deauthorise one?
Thanks for any help. I don't want to get things more confused than they already are.

99% of downloads are from my US iTunes account so those rules should apply. What I'm wondering now is the comment about only 2 downloads.
The entire process is in advance of a new MBA. I had thought it would be easier to get things moved from the MPB over to the MBA before I got the new MBA. Now it seems maybe I should wait it out, get the new MBA then moved things from both the MBP and older MBA over to the new laptop.
Because Apple does changes to machines I have the older MBP with an older external HD that matches its connections. (Things from the MPB include transfers from the old MacBook). Then I have the MBA with its external HD using a different connection because it only has a USB.
With the new MBA I'll have maybe a completely different external HD because its connections are Thunderbolt.
See where I'm headed with this?
It's the process of getting everything from the old MBP & external, the new MBA & external ... all moved over to the mid-2012 MBA & external. Included in all of that is a huge amount in information. Music along is over 400 GB. Think we all are going to have the same issue as the Mac's upgraade and change.

Corrupted itunes file???????????

someone please help
in the next two days
i am leaving the country for 18 days and i MUSt figure this out soon. Whenever i start iTUnes a little bubble/message pops up on the taskbar on the bottom .
It says one of my itunes files if corrupt. I uninstalled it , reinstalled, and it gave me the same thing. Once it was UNinstalled, i downloaded it and ALL of my old itunes library was still in there and it was still corrupt. SOmeone please help.
-confused one--

Does it look like that?
Fix: Check Disk Utility
Read this before running the fix!
We recommend using the latest iPod Updater to restore iPod because this will address the file system issue and will also defragment the iPod drive. Although you can use the Chkdsk utility to fix file system errors on the drive mapped to iPod, Chkdsk will not defragment the drive.
Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
Tip: Make sure you always eject iPod properly and that you wait for the orange light to stop blinking before disconnecting iPod shuffle. Click here to learn more about iPod shuffle status lights.
This issue may be more likely to occur on iPod shuffle if iPod shuffle's file system has become heavily fragmented. A restore will eliminate fragmentation. Chkdsk will not.

A lot of my iTunes files are protected and unavailable to use in iMovie. Why is this?

A lot of my iTunes files are 'protected and unavailable' to use in iMovie. Why?

check in Finder the suffix of those audio files ... if it's .m4p, those are protected=DRM=not meant/allowed for 'processing' aka using in videos...,
only legal way is:
* create a playlist of your m4p filesn in iTunes
* burn a CD from this playlist in iTunes (... if your Mac comes with a disk-drive ...)
* import this CD back to iTunes => same title, but now with .m4a = audio, unprotected... could be helpful to add some 'tag' in iTunes to those re-imported music to indicate them as 'processable'...

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I moved itunes file to external hard drive and want to move the file on my pc to recycle bin. When I move i get an error message that it cannot delete ituneshelper.dll access is denied. Can I move that file to the recycle bin?

I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.

Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.
