Itunes will not read some of me music from my external harddrive?????

I keep getting a(!) everytime I try to open up music that is in wma file, what do I need to do???

a wma file is a Microsoft file. it will only play in Windows media player and afew other players that have basicly paid Microsoft a fee to have there players able to play wma files. iTunes will not play wma files at all BUT itunes makes it easy as pie to convert those files into something it can play long as there not protected wma's you may have bought online. First goto edit, preferencs. Once there in the settings, hit the "Advance" tab at top, you will see 3 more tabs appear below. hit the "Import" tab there you will most likly want to set it to "MP3" so you will be able to play all songs u import or rip from CDs on iTunes and other apps. Below that you can set the bit rate. after that just rightclick all the songs with the ! beside them and select Import or convert section to MP3

ITunes will not recognize my Recently Played music from my iPod

I recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and I also upgraded my iPod as well to 1.2. I've been having problems with my iTunes not keeping track of the recently played tracks. If I look into my ipod history via iTunes it doesn't list any recently played tracks is there any way to fix this? thanks!

hello.
i wonder, have you resolved this problem? if not, i had the same problem, and it was really annoying me. i, too, posted a message on these boards - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3639877#3639877. nobody replied though. so, not knowing what else to do, i reset my ipod because i also had recently updated both my ipod and itunes software when i started having this problem. this seemed to fix it somehow.
if you are still having the problem, maybe try doing this.
let me know if this works for you :o)

Itunes will not read the ripped CD

My hard drive crashed. With a new drive,I have now imported all my previously saved music into my Itunes library perfectly. Now, after having ripped a dozen full CD's, the new music has been loaded and can be played, but itunes will not read the titles, artist or the CD title. Only my past music is labeled.

hi Patricia!
sounds like the new configuration isn't performing Gracenote queries properly. let's try checking through a few of the usual suspects:

I have the same problem. Have you found a fix? I have tried everything???

Am syncing my iPhone 4 to a new laptop. It will not allow me to transfer music from this new laptop/iTunes to my phone. Why? And how do i fix this?

Hi there,
I have a new laptop.
I have music on my laptop that I have not purchased through iTunes (ie, uploaded CD's, copied to my laptop from my old computer, etc).
For some reason, iTunes will not allow me to transfer this music to my iPhone. I get the "red circle with the cross through it" symbol when I try to drop it into the iPhone..
Can someone suggest a way that I can oversome this and add my music to my phone from my new computer?
At this stage, I can only add music to it via the old iTunes/old computer that the phone was originally synced to.
Cheers

ITunes will not allow me to put music (or anything else) on my iPhone. HELP

Recently got a new laptop which means the new iTunes had to be downloaded unfortunately. Now, iTunes will not let me add files to my iPhone 4s WITHOUT erasing all contents and syncing with the current itunes library (says it is synced with another itunes library). Here are the things i am aware of and have tried:
1: backing up your iphone to the computer does not backup anything but settings (thanks for telling me iTunes) SO, I made the mistake of erasing all my songs and other files and was forced to re-source all of my music.
2: I tried to check "manually manage music and videos" but it will not let me apply without AGAIN erasing and re-syncing with my current library
3: It seems that any time i put something new or remove something in the library it tells me my iphone belongs to another library and wont manually sync
4: I have authorized my new computer to my itunes account
5: My music has NO "!" next to them
6: I have checked "do not sync automatically"
7: I have checked "sync only songs and videos"
8: All of my songs are checked when i try to manually drag them into my phone (produces a red cross out symbol)
9: when it re-synced the first time it pulled 9 songs into my iPhone which it now will not let me delete from my iPhone
10: my iPhone has plenty of capacity, im only putting 300 songs on it and its empty soooo
11: I have reinstalled / updated this terrible software twice so it cant be that.
If apple intends for you to erase your phone every time you want to add even just one more song, they would be adding to their list of blantant failures in the past year. Someone please tell me this is not the case. HELP

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Itunes will not let me sync my music after downloading IOS 7 the music is greyed out and will not transfer to my iPhone

Hello, so I have an iphone 4s and just put the update for ios 7 onto my phone but I am having trouble syncing the previous music onto my music app. Itunes will not sync my songs and when i click the "On this Phone" button it shows the songs i want but they are greyed out with a circle next to them. Idk what this means

You cannot drag a song to Touch. It forces you to be organized. Make a list in itunes then drag that list to the Touch icon in the side bar. That should work.

ITunes will not copy some new cd's cda files?????

My iTunes will transfer some cda files from a new CD. ANy clues on possible causes ????

The .cda files are just tiny (44 byte) index files that are used on an audio CD. They are not the music, although it is a peculiarity of Windows that if you use its file system to look at an audio CD, all you see are the CDA files!
If you are trying to rip/import the songs into your iTunes library, you can use iTunes. Look in iTunes Help at the article "Import songs from CDs."

ITunes will, not Import some songs, some it will

I have all of my music on an external drive saved as mp3s. aac, etc.
I am trying to create a new library for my iPod Classic. When I drag and drop songs into iTunes so it will import them into the new library, it will import some and totally ignore others. I can't figure out what the difference is between the ones it "likes" and the ones it "doesn't like".
Any ideas?

On a somewhat related note.... I had always added songs to my iTunes in Tiger via either Import from CD, or "Add to Library" from an external drive. But with Leopard, "Add to Library" doesn't seem to do anything whatsoever.
When I got my iMac 24" (with Leopard), I migrated all my data (including all my music files) from my iMac G5 (with Tiger).. and ever since then, I can still "Import" from a music CD, but from other sources, "Add to Library" doesn't do anything. What I end up doing is dragging the music files from the Finder and dropping them into my Music list in the iTunes application window.
I keep my iTunes versions current, so the different behavior appears to be due to the different OS.
It's a curious thing. I wonder if anyone else has seen this and can explain it? Thanks..

ITunes will not import some .mp4 content, metadata problem?

I have been importing movies and TV shows for years into iTunes so that my disabled son can watch them on his AppleTV but lately I have been having a problem getting some to go into iTunes. This batch is part of season 9 and 10 of Smallville. I imported about half of the two seasons no problem but the other half will not import. I have ripped all my movies and TV episodes off of disks that I own using Handbreak and WinX DVD Ripper for Mac and it has worked just fine for over 1050 movies and 6200 TV episodes and I was able to import all of season 9 and 10 of Smallville into my laptop's iTunes no problem but on my son's iMac no luck. Both computers are running Mac OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6.1(7) and all content is on two 3TB external hard drives. That is two external drives for the laptop and two for the iMac. After burning, content on one external drive is copied to the other computer's external drive and imported to iTunes on that computer. This way I have a backup copy of all my iTunes video content and two completely independent iTunes and AppleTV's. But on my son's computer 16 episodes will not go in. I "command O" like normal but no import bar is noted and no content can be found. I believe that this problem is due to metadata content. I am also have a little trouble getting some TV content to switch from Music or Movie Media Kind to TV Media Kind and I know that this is a metadata problem. Also some of the episodes have been in iTunes before either from the Apple Store or ripped and then deleted for one reason or the other. I therefore believe that there is a file in iTunes that is telling the program that the episodes I now want to import are already in iTunes and therefore should not go in twice. I have tried changing the episode names and importing, no luck and I even edited an episode using MPEG Streamclip, removing some content, and then resaving it under another name, no luck either. Any ideas would be helpful. I know the Media Kind problem has been address before but now I cannot find it so a link to that discussion would also be helpful. Thank you for any help.

I have the same issue here. My daughter has an iPod Touch4 and I have been importing mp4's with no problems up until the last iTunes update. Now I get nothing. No message, not activity, nothing. Either this is a new bug in iTunes or they have now eliminated the import ability.
I am sick and tired of apple and their hand-holding, big-brother coddling. My daughters iPod is the last Apple product we have and now I think it's time to totally part ways with Apple and go all in with Android. We have already converted all our phones from Apple to Android. The Samsung Galaxy Player looks like a great replacement to the iPod.

Itunes will not read iphone when connected to laptop

I will connect my iphone 4 to my laptop, and when I go into ITunes, it will not register the phone. I cannot sync my phone of all my music. I need help.

Are you using a windows PC? Does it show the iPhone in the device manager list? Maybe a driver issue.

Iphone will not sync any of my music from itunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i sync with itunes, the contacts etc sync, but no music. I have tried the restore option and it still will not sync my music. Please help, as this is a major problem.

Ok...I'm new with the iphone but I did notice one thing.
When your iphone is plugged in to your itunes, from the "music" tab...you have two options, 1. Sync all music and playlists. 2. Sync selected playlists.
I noticed that I couldn't select and drag entire cd's to my iphone, I had to create a playlist, drag the music there, then sync the selected playlist from the "music" tab of your iphone menu.
It worked for me...but I haven't read the manual or anything for the iphone. I'm sure there is an easier way to get whole cd's on iphone.
I'm not really sure what to do because I have much more than 7 gigs of music...and if selected sync all songs and playlists my iphone might explode.
Please let me know if there is an easier way than what I came up with.
