Limit on Adding Files to Library?

When trying to add new files to my library, I can select only up to 6 songs at a time. If I select any more, they all get ignored. If I select 6 or less, iTunes processes correctly adds them to the library. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to add by folder in this case. Using version 8.0.2.20.

No there is no such option. It always places the file by artist/album. If that is not what you want, you can move the file manually within Windows, but then you have to fix up your iTunes library entry manually as well.

Adding files to library-error

i have been having a lot of trouble with itunes 7 lately. i had installed it and it was working fine, then one day it couldn't locate any of the files in my library. i tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and adding all my music to my library again, and i have most of it in except my largest folder of music. i try to add the folder to my library and it starts adding the songs, then freezes up and a box pops up that says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and gives me the option to send error report, etc. i clicked on detailed report and it says the following files will be included in this error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERef7e.dir00\iTunes.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERef7e.dir00\appcompat.txt
does anyone know how to fix this? i have tried rebooting and such and tried clicking the folder and dragging it to my library and i keep getting the same error. thanks for your help.

okay, let's try getting a crash log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using. (go into your "Help > About iTunes" to doublecheck.)
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

Weird things happening when adding files to library

OK so I just update to the newest itunes, so I am all up to date. My problem is that when I go to add files to the library from a folder on the harddrive, nothing happens. I hold down the shift key and select the songs in the folder I want to add, but it will not add them unless you manualy add EACH FILE one by one!
So I tried to just add the whole folder, but when I do that, it adds each song twice for some reason, so then I have to go through and manualy delete all the duplicates.
This has NEVER been a problem until tonight, if someone has a tip please tell me! I am also getting annoyed with the whole determing gapless playback thing, if someone has a tip to get rid of that, that would also be great. Thanks!

I looked over at Dougscripts.com but didn't find anything.
I think the best you can do is use the comment field for your dates.

Why can't I tell video to go to TV Shows when "adding file to library"

Not the end of the world but when I rip my dvd of TV Shows (Nurse Jackie) and I add it or any video file it goes to Movies. How can I direct movies to movies and tv shows to tv shows myself.

Right-click on the file - Get Info - Options - Then set 'Media kind' to TV Shows.
It should then go into your TV Shows folder.

Manually added files to library going to wrong location in iPOD

When I DL video podcasts from work and manually add to iTUNES they are going to Movies instead of Video Podcasts.
Even more troublesome is that all podcasts from same site are not listed together in a submenu. This only occurrs when I DL video podcast using iTUNES. As a result I have dozens of videos appearing in 'Movies' instead of their own submenu in Video Podcast.
I have dial-up at home so I DL Podcasts from another location that has high speed to my thumb drive.
iPOD is set to use as mounted drive in my computer (forgot the term)

ETA: wrong. I still can't get this to work. Please help if you can. Thanks.

When I "Add File to Library" it doesn't show up

I never had this problem till I updated to itunes 7. Previous versions I added file to library and it was there right away. I can't seen to add any files to library now. I don't add music from a cd or itunes store, I transfer music from files already on my computer to itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure if it would help but have you tried drag and drop into itunes or add folder?

Error when adding folder to library - Not adding files to ITunes library

Hey all, I just got my iPod for Christmas and I've been having a lot of problems with iTunes. Sometimes when I'd add a folder it'd add all the files 3 or 4 times, and now I'm having an even bigger problem. I was trying to get all my music in one place to finally have some organization on my comp, so I set it to copy files I added, then I figured I'd delete the old folder. I have a folder that, when I try to add it, it gives me the error "Attempting to copy to the disk "C:\" failed. The file name was invalid or too long."
It continues to go through the folder (Another few hundred songs, or almost 600 depending on if I did the top level folder) and it LOOKS like they're being added to iTunes, but they never get added to the library. If I try to update my iPod after this, the program takes all the music off my iPod. If I close and reopen, then it will update music, but NO files are added to the library. I can see that the files are being copied, and, as such, I'm not running out of disk space. These files are in there two or three times in some cases.
So, I have two questions. Does anyone know what causes this error, and does anyone know an efficient way I can delete all the "non-detected" files?

You'll probably have better luck asking the question here -> Windows EightForums
iTunes isn't designed to work with Windows 8 or any beta software, so theres no suprise that it isn't working as expected.

I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why?

I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why the iTunes Scripting Brigde returned failed when it is actually success? It occurred exactly 2 minutes after submit the request to Scripting Brigde. Is this 2 minutes related to the Apple Event time out? if it does, how do I get around this problem? thx

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

Trouble adding video files to library

I am unable to add most video files to my video library, the only files i have been able to add so far are quicktime files, also, when i try to open other video files into quicktime it says:
Error -2048: The file is not a movie file
Im not sure if this has anything to do with adding files to itunes library, just thought id mention it. I've tried to convert some of these files to quicktime with Xilisoft Video Converter 3 but when i do it, it says that it failed. If anyone knows of any good reliable video converters (if this would solve my problem) that would be cool. Also, this doesnt have anything to so with my problem, but i cant find any movies or tv shows in my Itunes store, and yes i do have the latest itunes version: 7, i can buy games, music videos, and pixar short films but i cannot find tv shows or movies.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need help on adding video files to library

I recently converted some of my movies to mp4. I used 2 different converter apps. When I click add file to library it doesnt show up in the library. Also when I update, it doesn't get sent to the ipod. Now I have done it before. I have a couple movies on my ipod. Now it's not working. Is there a patch or is it just the update that prevents this?

I am having the same problem, I have converted tons of videos, am able to watch them all on my computer, I put them all in one folder and add the folder to the library and only about half of them actually get added to iTunes, I've tried manually adding each file and it just doesn't do anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Added file not in library

I have tried several times to add file to library then iPod. It all looks OK, it does not show up. It will immediately play when I open iTunes on the computer, but not available on iPod. I cannot locate the playing file in iTunes

Once you have added the WAV file to your library, select it. In the upper-right corner of your iTunes window, where it normally says Burn Disk, it should say Convert (or something to that effect).
Clicking the icon will convert the file to the format and bitrate you have set in iTunes preferences.
Once you convert the file, you can delete the WAV file from iTunes if you wish.

When adding a file to library in iTunes 8 it is not played automatically

Hi,
Before iTunes 8, double-clicking on an mp3 file, would add it to the iTunes Library and play it automatically. However in iTunes 8, when a file is added to the library, it is not played automatically and we have to find it in the list and play it.
Is there a way to make iTunes 8 to play the file as soon as it is added or is this a bug?

According to MacWorld the following terminal commands should restore that behaviour for you:
*defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE*

Issues adding files or folders to library

I have used iTunes for years (so I know how it should work), but just started running into problem yesterday when trying to add new music to my library. When I go to 'Add Folder to Library' it lets me browse and select a folder with mp3's, but it won't add them to my library; nothing happens. The 'Add to Library' screen closes and does not give me any error messages. I tried adding individual mp3 files my library, but nothing happens. I can play the file in iTunes if I go through the browser and opt to play the file with iTunes, so the file is good and recognized. Also, I was just curious about what it did when I went to music that is already in my iTunes library, so I tried to open a folder or files that are already in my library and the same thing happened....nothing.
I'm running iTunes 10.5.42 with Windows 7. I deleted iTunes and re-installed it as well as made sure that my Windows firewall was giving iTunes access (just in case). I'm clueless...can anyone help?

iTunes will only play files that are in its library. My guess is that the files are already in it, just not where you expect to find them. See Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist. One way to make sure would be to use iTunes Folder Watch to scan your media folders for any files not yet in your library.
Note that iTunes generally won't issue any error messages if it has problem reading the files, e.g. lack of security permissions, or if it rejects a file because of some problem with the internal format.
