ITunes won't allow me to import music from a shared library

I Don't have an option to import music from a shared library.

Then when the shared library is in view in iTunes there should be an import option in the bottom right corner of the window.

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

ITunes won't allow me to manage music on my device

So I just got a new hard drive, and I couldn't recover my library of music from my first drive, but it IS all on my phone. I've started to build a new library of music but iTunes won't allow me to manually manage the music on my iPhone without doing a complete sync, and erasing my first library. How do I resolve this?

It sounds as if you are trying to move it while attached to iTunes and move individual songs. In the Summary page of iTunes, do you have Manually Manage Music checked? If not, that is why you cannot move individual songs. If you change to manually manage music, it will give you a warning that it is going to delete all of the current music on the phone and only take what you manually move over there.

Will itunes still allow people to import music from CD's into itunes?

I am not able to load music or movies onto my ipod. When I connect the ipod, nothing transfers and nothing comes onto the monitor about transfering.
My movies and music show up on my desktop and when I lookon itunes.
I lost my movies and music on my ipod, when I downloaded software

I don't use Windows, so I can't be too much help, but have you tried some basic things like looking at the settings within iTunes? If your music shows up within iTunes you might take a look at the iTunes preference that tells it to manually, or automatically sync with your iPod. I think it's under "Devices", then look for the "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods". That checkbox might be off. If so, that could explain why it does nothing when connected to your iPod.

IPhoto won't allow me to import photos from my iPhone?

I currently am using iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 but I'm having trouble importing photos from my iPhone 6 to my MacBook. I can plug my phone into my computer and it will show up under "devices". However, all of the photos and videos from my iPhone only show up as grey boxes with a white dotted line around them. When I press either "import all" or "import selected", it says that each photo or video is unreadable because it is in an unrecognized format. I tried updating to a newer iPhoto version but I don't have Mac OS X version 10.10 or later on my MacBook. Thanks for the help!

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

How can I add music from a shared library to my own library ?

I'm trying to add 4 songs, that were newly purchased, from my dad's computer to mine. the only problem i have with home sharing, is that i cannot drag the music over to my library or i dont know how to add it to my library. I have searched the iTunes Help Center and iTunes Support, but neither have helped me solve this issue.
If i cannot find a solution, i will resolve to add it through a memory stick. But i hope there is another way to fix this, as i wish it could add automatically.

Hello leendo
As long as you have Home Sharing setup with the same Apple ID, then you should see an option to import the tracks in when selecting the songs that you want. Check out the article below to get that sorted out.

How do I download music from a shared library to an ipod?

So I shared my itunes library with my brothers macbook and it connected. Well now I need to know how to download my library on to my ipod from his computer. I can't do it from mine because my macbook is too old and I cannot afford an update. Please help!!

You can't. A shared library can only be played; you can't download from it nor sync from it. You must have the tracks on his computer to be able to sync them to your iPod.
If you have a MacBook, then you absolutely can get it to sync with any current iPod. If the Mac is still on Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you will need to upgrade your version of Mac OS X to 10.6 Snow Leopard so you can run iTunes 10.7, but Snow Leopard is still available from the Apple Store for around $20 if you call them.

Itunes won't allow me to transfer music to my Iphone

It keeps giving me a circle symbol with a line through it. How do I fix this?

It sounds as if you are trying to move it while attached to iTunes and move individual songs. In the Summary page of iTunes, do you have Manually Manage Music checked?

Itunes won't allow me to add music to library. Itunes designated to external drive.

I have an external drive connected to my mac mini. My itunes library is designated to the external drive insted of my internal drive to save space. When I try to add music to my itunes library it gives me an error stating I do not have permission. How do I work around this?

How exactly did you designate?
When did this happen? From the minute you designated or some time afterward?
The correct answer lies in knowing details not yet provided. Until then:
Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

Can't import music from iTunes! Please help.

We installed Yosemite, updated iMovie and iTunes. When we attempt to import music from iTunes into iMovie for a project by clicking on iTunes in the "Content Library," nothing shows up in the window that says, "The contents of your iTunes Library will appear here."
Cannot figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx

Did you manage to get this sorted. I am trying to import music from iTunes in to iMovie, but it won't allow?!

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.

Importing music from CD

I am Running XP and Itunes 5
I have been busy importing music from my CD collection which because of lack of space has to be stored away. Recently I have found that when inserting a cd in the cd drive Itunes will not recognise that their is a cd there.
When using other media players they all recognise the cd, I have removed as much as I can in the way of audio software just in case there is a conflict but to no avail.
This appears to be intermittent but I have not managed to determine or identify any common thread that could lead to the development of the problem.
I also appear to be unable to import music files that have been previously stored on my PC. When I open the folder/s they appear to be empty yet I know they contain the audio tracks I am looking for. I suspect it is something to do with the format of the stored files which are either MP3 or WAV files.
Any help would be appreciatted

You need to be connected to the Internet and also have iTunes unblocked by any of your security programs.
Also try:
- Select (highlight) all songs on an Album
- Advanced=>Get CD Track Namne
That will attempt to force a query to the CDDB (Gracenote)
