Music skips and mp4s wont add to library

My computer crashed about a month ago. I have a new computer but still have my old hard drive with all of my songs on it. I have been trying to import my library but for some reason, all of my mp4s will not go in. Also, when I play the songs that did get loaded, they skip really bad. Does anyone have any suggestions??

iTunes doesn't support avi videos. you will have to convert it to another file format to get it in iTUnes. you can search the net for programs like this. check out the "Video FAQ for iPod and iTunes" below to see what formats are supported and other info

even though I have set file sharing and set Computer #2 with the Music Folder on COmputer #1.
Is there a way to make this work ?

Home Sharing, which seems to be what you're describing, needs iTunes 9 or later.

HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Verizon galaxy nexus-music skips and static when screen is off..

What i do is download videos using youtube
downloader and convert them into mp3. Then i connect my phone to the laptop with
the usb cable. I open my computer-galaxy nexus-music, and i drag the saved mp3
from my laptop to my phone. When i disconnect the phone,I open the music app and
I listen to my music and it sounds fine when the screen is on. When the screen
is Off the music starts to skip a little and i hear static with or without
headphones. Now i used the same procedure when i load music from my laptop with
other mp3 devices and ipods and the music sounds good when the screen is on or
off with those devices. I downloaded a song from the android market and amazon,
stored it and downloaded to my phone for offline play and both songs stutter or
static when screen is off.

From the beginning, I wasn’t too impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. Why? It’s a Samsung. Would I purchase a Samsung for a basic phone? Sure, but when it comes to “top of the line” smart phones, Samsung wouldn’t be my first, second or even third choice. Now, don’t get me wrong, I contemplating parting with 299.99 to purchase the Nexus. The ics appeal outweigh some of my skepticism.. but before I buy a phone, I sit on review boards, cnet reviews, youtube reviews, etc. etc. In addition, it’s hard to trust a new phone of its kind. All the kinks (clearly) haven’t been ironed out. I, like Rushfan2112 went with the Rezound. And I LOVE it.
But do I think the Nexus is a “poor” phone? Na. Not by a long shot. Does VZW hinder the devices full potential? Of course – but we as Verizon customers should already know this – they proved so with the Iphones. Moreover, I’m a bit confused by the lack of update to the OS as well. This phone was specifically designed and released. It’s not as if we’re waiting for a complete OS change like HTC Rezound, Rhyme, & Motorola Bionic, 4 and Razr customers are. I understand that takes time because the OS has to be modified for each device. But the Nexus started with ICS, the ambiguity in the software updates is ridiculous….

I can't drag and drop or add to library for dvd's that I converted with Bootstrap VideoWizard All-in-one app. hep!

i purchased Bootstrap VideoWizard all-in-one edition and converted my homemade Dvds, but I can't drag and drop the converted files into iTunes or use iTunes file - add to library to add them to iTunes so I can sync them onto my iPad 1. What am I doing wrong? The bootstrap website wasn't any help.

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

Why is my itunes music skipping and how do i fix it?

my music is skipping when i play it, and it is not music that i have burned from a scratched cd, and it worked without skipping a day ago. it is not just one song, most of them skip at at least one point in time on the song. the only thing that i could think of that may have caused this is that the other day when i tried updating my ipod the cable fell out and so it was unplugged from my computer in the middle of an update, which is obviuosly bad, and then when i tried updating it again it got stuck on one song that i have since deleted. the music on my ipod that i updated works fine too. so could that have caused the problem, and how do i fix it?

Jeff, is the music skipping in iTunes? Or is it on the iPod?
If in iTunes, try this:

Problems with iTunes. Music skips and hisses. Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1.

Problems with iTunes. Music. When I put on my ear buds, I hear it more clearly. There is this skipping and hisses. If you are an old (50)audiophile like I was when I was young, it sounds sort of like a record is skipping on my turntable. When I try to play a song it skips, jumps around and the Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1. Help!!! Thanks in advanced. Spike

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

Music disappeared and itunes wont work!!

Hi,
My ipod today decided not to allow me to listen to any music and reckon that there are no music files. Fair enough. But when I go to put the music back on using itunes, itunes freezes and does nothing!
I checked the about section on the ipod and it says 60 odd gig is used but instead of being the usual mix of music pictures and video, it shows completely as other!
Any help?

Try putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363] to stop it from continuously rebooting. Then again attempt to restore the iPod through iTunes. Otherwise it may be the signs of a failing hard drive.
I would maybe check up on taking advantage of the warranty you have on it.

Music skips and pauses during work out

Ciao a tutti,
I like to use my iPhone when I'm working, stapping it to my arm with an XtremMac SportWrap, and listening to my playlists.
I'm running for about 40 minutes and usually about halfway through my workout, or towards the end, the music starts wigging out. It pauses, then skips ahead to the next track, pauses again, on and on. Sometimes it just stops playing and I have to hit play again.
After my second trip the Mac Genius he replaced it. But it's now happening to the SECOND ONE!
My fear is that it's a corrupt music file, which would kill me because I have over 20,000 songs in my iTunes. The other possibility is maybe it's heating up too much during my work out. ???
Has anybody had this problem before!

One thing you might take a look at.
be conscience of any moisture getting in the microphone on the earbud cables when your working out.
This could cause the contacts to short out and as a result the music could start pausing, or skipping.
Hope this helps.

IPhone - music skipping and pausing - headset problem?

I've noticed a problem when I've been out on a run with my iPhone. Late in the run the music will stop and start and skip around. I suspect the problem is in the Apple headset. I think sweat is getting into the mouthpiece/pause-advance gismo and sending false signals to the iPhone. I've also noticed (during runs) that the pause-advance feature is inconsistant; sometimes it advances, sometimes not.
I would like to upgrade the headset to the V-Moda Vibe headset as soon as those are available with the call receive/hangup function.
Has anyone else noticed these problems.

that's funny... that just occured to me last night... thought the phone was buggin out so i restored it... shoulda just did a search on the forums... now i have to reinstall all my 3rd party apps...
i was also at the gym sweatin to the oldies when this occurred... and i do believe it's the head set... i understand the pausing and playin, but sometimes the song will change back and forth and what not... very strange behavior....

Music skips and stops and starts

Hello, we have just got a nano to replace a 3rd gen iPod.
I have around 50 gigs of music on a lacie USB drive, and the music plays flawlessly from here in iTunes.
However once imported into the nano, there is distortion, jumps and clicks in the music and sometimes the song will just stop and start from the beginning.
Any ideas?
