Mp3 added to iTunes only by double clicking in the finder

I'm sorry, I've seen several similar posts here and in the web, but still haven't found any solution.
Usually I import mp3 files in my iTunes library with drag n' drop. But with some mp3 this doesn't work, and the only way to add is to double click on each song in the finder; after doing it, these files appear in iTunes, with the right Artist/Album/etc. (and of course play).
These files are mp3, are not corrupted, and ID3 tags are present. iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac Os X 10.6.7
What's the problem?
Many thanks.
Erik

try running the files by MP3 Validator before adding them to your library.
iTunes can be picky which MP3's it deems acceptable.

  • TS1717 I am unable to launch iTunes, when I double-click on the icon, a prompt comes up saying, "iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissons for this folder."  This issue occurred out of the blue!  How do I correct this?

    I don't know what suddenly caused this.  I haven't installed anything weird or obscure, I've kept up with all of the normal updates for Windows, my anti-virus, and other normal software (Adobe, Apple products, Steam).  So all I did today was double-clicked on the iTunes icon, and the prompt that I supplied kept popping up.  I rebooted my computer, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and all of my Apple products (Quicktime, Safari).  But nothing seems to be working.
    I could sure use some much appreciated assistance!!!  Thank you!

    I did what I could out of the information provided, however there was quite a bit of difference between the XP format and Windows 7.  After trying what I could, I was still receiving the same error message.  Besides trying to fix this issue, I'm also trying to figure out how this whole thing started to begin with.

  • Hi My I phone stoped responding to the touch. it's reponding only by double click on the icon, any solution available please?

    Might want to try plugging your phone into your computer and starting up itunes. Click on your phone in the devices tab and click "Universal Options" in the options box. In "Seeing" click that to none if it is clicked to Voiceover. Hope it helps.

    The iTunes and QuickTime symptoms are consistent with another application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old Quicktime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the music to your iPod?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Have you successfully synced music form this iTunes library/computer before?

  • Trying to restore my Mac OS  after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

    I am trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combinationcommand-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • Where has my airport utility window gone ? when I double click on the icon all I get is an image of a globe and a base station with no options to make changes in my airport extreme.

    Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further  options available to modify my airport extreme. 

    Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
    Let's start over again.
    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Are you asked for a password at this point?  If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
    You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
    If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
    If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
    If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password.  Might be a good idea to write down that password.
    If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
    If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button.

  • Why does it show a (!) when i double click on the play list and it won't play the song?

    why does it show when i double click on the playlist and it won't play the song?

    The exclamation point means iTunes is no longer able to locate the track and the location specified.  See this article for more details.

  • When I input song information into "get info" for each of my songs, some do not save when I close my Itunes. When I click on the song the correct info pops back up.Why?

    When I input song information into "get info" for each of my songs, some do not save when I close my Itunes. When I click on the song the correct info pops back up.Why?

    I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.

  • Cannot load .dll files in another directory when double clicking on the .exe

    Hi all,
    I am currently using VS 2005. I have quite a few of .dll(s) that is currently residing in the same directory as the .exe
    I want to put the .dll(s) in another directory and have the application point it to that directory so that it can load the .dll(s) from there. 
    I know that I am able to set the Environment path to my desired directory in project properties->debugging. 
    However, i also know that this is only applicable for debug mode and executing the app by pressing "F5" or the "play" button.
    But when i double click on the app in the debug folder, it does not load the .dll(s) from the specified path. 
    How can I make the .dll(s) load from my specified path even when i double click on the .exe? in debug and release mode. 
    Cheers,
    nat

    Hi Nat,
    Thank you for your information.
    Your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Because you want to load dlls from your application, it is more related to programming, I suggest opening a new thread about your issue in some development forums based on the type of your application. For example, if you are working with Windows Forms app,
    you can consult on Windows Forms Forum:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=windowsforms
    If you are working with WPF app, WPF forum is a proper forum:

    Hello Sudhanshu Mishra,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can have iTunes reference the content where ever it is on your HDD without copying the content to the iTunes library, thus using twice the space.
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    From: Adding music and other content to iTunes
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
    Additionally if you want the content to then ALSO be located in your iTunes Library folder so everything is all kept together nice and tidy, use this:
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

  • I updated my iPad to ios 7.1, and now I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. What happened? How can I fix this?

    I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. This happened after I updated to ios 7.1

    Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1   Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
