ITunes refuse to import music etc

First, i tried to import a song that I wanted, and iTunes refuse to import it.
At first, i thought i was alright and i synced, it synced DOUBLE of ALL the music.
Tried to remove and failed, checked the "Sync only checked music", doesn't work.
When i go over to the music tab, there is only Sync music, if not its Selected Playlist etc. How do we actually choose what music we want to sync? How do i solve the problem of iTunes not importing my music?

I am having the a very similar problem.
iTunes will not sync music to any of my devices since 8.0.2
I also use the option "sync only checked songs".

  • Itunes refuses to import some mp3 files.

    Hi,
    Can someone please advise. I have an album of MP3 tracks. For some reason Itunes refuses to import all but 2 of the songs on the ablum. I have the files on the hard drive in my music folder which should be auto sync to Itunes. This does not happen with these mp3's. Also if I try to do it manually nothing happens. Any suggestions?
    P.s I am using the latest version of Itunes and the MP3's play fine with media player etc.

    Yeah, what stubchain said. If they play in WMP, then you've run into the bug where iTUnes can't read the MP3 tags.
    iTunes has problems with v2.4 ID3 tags.
    http://www.id3.org/iTunes
    iTunes also has a problem with v2.2 tags and artwork/beats per minutes tags on the same song.
    Try setting them to v1 in another program and then see if iTunes can read them.
    Then once iTnues can read tehm, I would convert them to v2.3 tags, which seem to be the most stable & have the best features.

  • Itunes refuses to import certain tracks

    Hello everyone. ill cut to the chase:
    iTunes refuses to import random songs in my collection that it used to play before.
    I moved my music off of an external and no matter what i try be it adding the tracks to the "automaticly add to itunes" dragging the songs onto itunes going through the menu and adding them doesnt work either.
    the songs play while im in finder. i have the latest updates for a while now so i doubt thats it.
    @_@ im stumped....looked up a few times in google and no solutions for mac at the moment after going through several sites. any help would be appreciated

    .mp3 checked the files myself using command + i
    yes they play in quick time
    no message it jsut does nothing lol
    cant add the tracks to a playlist because i cant get them into itunes.
    normally when i import a song it says "copying randomsong1" and then it adds an entry into the "recently added" smart playlist i tried making a copy of the song changing the name and seeing if that did anything and got the same result. NOTHING happens...

  • Itunes Crashes when importing Music File or Folder on Windows 7 64-Bit with Itune 10.5 and update ios 5

    Itunes crashes when importing Music File or Folder ever since i updated it yesterday

    You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). You may get a more useful error message as to which component has problems.

  • Itunes refuses to import one file

    Itunes refuses to import one file. This file is unprotected, mp3 audio file of 72.3MG which happens to be a 'teach youself spanish' CD downloaded from Win/MX. As far as I can see thsi file does not differ from other files which itunes lets me import, apart perhaps from its length (it is over two hours long). itunes produces no message to explain why it will not import the file and so i am perplexed...

    hi Jack!
    hmmmmm. just checking. can WMP import and play this file? if so, can you convert it to another file format in WMP, like AIFF? if so, will itunes accept the file when it is in that format?
    (a clunky workaround ... even if it works)
    love, b

  • ITunes refuses to import mpeg-4 videos

    I have a few mpeg-4 video clips on my computer that I want on my ipod. iTunes refuses to import them. I've tried file>add folder to library, file>add file to library and attempting to add them individually, I've tried dragging and dropping, again as a group and individually.
    All methods give the same result: a dialog window with the progress bar. It scrolls through the names quickly, the progress bar gets to less than 10% before the dialog box disappears and there are no new videos in itunes at all.
    How do I fix this?

    Sounds like you've got a setting wrong . . . Videodora is temperamental at best, you may want to go to iLounge go through the step by step tutorial they've got up.
    Good luck!

  • ID3 tags and itunes refusing to add music to library

    As my music collection is growing, I decided to organize it a bit more and fill in the different ID3 tags in windows.
    I have emptied my itunes library before I did all this, and after changing the ID3 tags I added the different albums back to itunes.
    However, for some reason itunes does not want to import several albums anymore, while they do play in windows media player. Furthermore, itunes refuses in many cases to make use of the new ID3 tags I made. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, itunes seems to remember my settings and the ID3 tags the different MP3s had before.
    Anyone a clue what is happening here? Has it someting to do with the new version of itunes, or is it something else?
    ciao, Gregorius

    Hey, first of all, thanks for your help, but I'm still in problems.
    I have noticed that itunes imports the music files before I alter the ID3 tags (from backup files). However, as soon as I try to add the same file to my itunes library after I have edited the ID3 file (via windows itself), itunes does not add the file to its library anymore. This is happening to a considerable amount of my music. When I try to play the same files in windows mediaplayer, they play without a problem, so I guess the problem is with itunes.
    Somebody can please help me out, because I like to be in control of my music, and not itunes,
    adios Gregorius

  • ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

    Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
    I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

    I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
    I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

  • ITunes refuses to import Amazon MP3 album, claims permissions won't allow me. What?

    I download through Amazon MP3.
    I downloaded Muse's album and imported that into iTunes just fine, but for whatever reason, when I downloaded the Black Keys album El Camino it refuses to play ball.
    I get "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this."
    Now, I did a permissions repair with Onyx, and even checked all the folders to make sure the permissions wasn't weirdly set, but nothing is wrong with those folders. They're not locked at all.
    I can play the song files when I press space bar or even in things like VLC, but iTunes refuses to play ball for some reason. Is this an iTunes problem or Amazon? And if you could possibly point me to a forum post that is this exact problem I'd love you forever as I'm about to go on a cross-country road trip and would really love to play some Black Keys.

    That's a workaround, but it doesn't really solve the mystery.  Ordinarily, when you add music to your library, iTunes will create a directory with the Artist name and a subdirectory with the Album name.  My guess is there's something weird about one of these fields, perhaps an unprintable character that you can't see, and when it tries to create the directories it fails (maybe I was too hasty in not blaming Amazon!).  It might even be one of the individual song names. 
    If you're happy with this solution, fine, but if you want to track it down, I'd try this;
    - select all the songs, do (right-click->get info) 
    - Delete and reenter the Artist and Album names.  Make sure you clear the whole field
        and don't use cut and paste.
    - reenable the copy and manage options
      - Try dragging the songs in again.
      - If that doesn't work, try dragging one at a time to see if a particular song is causing the problem.
      - If that's the case, check the fields for that song, and maybe reenter the title.
    Note, if this works, you'll end up with two copies of everything, and you'll have to delete the one that wasn't copied. 
    In any event, I'd reenable the copy and manage options, so future music will be correctly copied.

  • Itunes doesnt snyc imported music names onto computer

    I have a Windows 7 PC, and im trying to add music to my cell phone (not iphone), but the songs i just imported are not in the "my music" folder! When i imported the music, i had to manually put in the names of songs and artsits, etc... but this never happened before! the reason i cant find the songs is because it says "Track (#)" instead of the name of the song. can someone help how to resync to my computer "Itunes" folder in my music. Also, im trying to contact itunes chat, and i cant find the button that says "chat now"!!!
    help please!

    If they are from the iTunes Store, in iTunes go to the Store menu on top and then Deauthorize your computer. Now play one of the iTunes Store purchased songs and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password.

  • My itunes cannot keep imported music, only purchased music. all of my playlists are gone, and new ones are gone after 2 days, please help

    my i tunes loses all of my imported music and playlists after 2 days of making and importing them, its like the itunes is resetting to default, but all of my purchased songs stay on the package but not my cds.
    anyone ever had this problem?
    imported music is lost but purchased stays on.
    is this a pc problem or an itunes problem?
    also i cannot add a file to my folders, i follow the process of adding file to library but nothing happens.

    It should - it's worked for quite a few other folks. It helped that you wrote about having ESET. Other security software can do this. There's a similar issue with folks running Vista on Sony Vaio PCs - there's some Sony bloatware that conflicts with itunes. Carbonite backup software can also cause it.
    Thanks for the points.

  • Itunes wont play imported music

    Hi,
    itunes on my Mac will not play my imported music. It was running fine untill I upgraded to 10.5.3 can anyone help please?
    When I try to play this message appears
    The song “  ” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? when I press yes it cant be found.
    Also some music will play that has been imported but the name of the song and the music dont match???
    Thanks

    Correct. iTunes for Windows can convert non-DRMed WMA files, but that feature isn't included in the Mac version. You may be able to find a thrid party tool to do the conversion.

  • ITunes refuses to read music on second internal HDD

    Hello!
    I realize this topic has been asked to death, we need some form of sticky topic! After a bit of searching, I haven't turned up anything I haven't tried.
    Here goes:
    -I just got my old 400mhz AGP G4 up and running - 768 MB RAM, OS 10.4.8, a new SuperDrive, airport, and 2 internal HDDs - an 80 gig and a 60 gig. Well, the 80G is my boot drive, and holds just about everything. I'd like to move my ~17 Gig iTunes library over to the 60 Gig drive, which is currently empty. Here's what I tried:
    Method 1: Read this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=607487
    It worked great - except that trashing the files (on boot drive) caused iTunes to give a completely empty library.
    Method 2: Copy all files to secondary drive, and attempt to get iTunes (now empty) to accept the library. It didn't work - if I try to import library, I'll get 4000 songs and no playlists!
    Method 3: Use .Mac's Backup to attempt to restore the library to secondary drive. No luck - iTunes still refuses to read the file. (Same as 2)
    Any tips?
    One more thing: How can you tell who is listening to your shared iTunes library? There used to be a widget for that - but I can't find it anymore.
    Thanks,
    -Dan

    Right, I know. But the procedure of choosing a new location for the library, checking the box, and having iTunes copy the files is the same for both platforms. I suppose I was too lazy to type it out, hm?
    Anyway, It's actually copied from my Powerbook - the Powerbook library is the master copy, although I like to have a fairly current library over on the G4 as it's very useful when the Powerbook is packed up for school, or when I'm taxing the Powerbook to the limit (eg, Final Cut render, gaming, etc). It's a fairly simple matter to copy the files, although long. And for what it's worth, they were all still in the trash - I had yet to delete them! So, everything was still there.
    What I eventually did was just to copy them back to the original boot drive, then follow the select-new-location>let iTunes copy method, then just delete the MUSIC files, not the iTunes-required files. Essentially, your second Apple help doc link. It works like a charm now.
    Sigh... that's one of those "DO'H" moments.
    Thanks,
    -Dan
