Playing music to get it into itunes

Hi All
I have set up a file on my windows powered PC to import onto my Ipod touch. Itunes is making me play every song to get it into itunes. I've done the uninstall thing and this is how i ended up where i am how. Can anyone help please?
Also the songs seem to appear 3 times in itunes but only once on the ipod. Naturally i only want them to appear once.
Thanks

Pull down File > Add to Library, navigate to the iTunes folder and click "open." This will add all the music to the new iTunes library.

Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

I can't import music from my computer into Itunes

I've been trying to import music from my computer into Itunes, And it isnt working
I have the latest version of Itunes
When I try adding the files by clicking add file in Itunes or by dragging, it does nothing
I know it means that the file is incompatible with Itunes, But I have put the same type of file into Itunes before with no issues (MP3)

Hey Haley.1182,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How to get videos into itunes

i have some music videos in realplayer, is there a way to get them into itunes? i can go to them and click 'open' but it doesn't do anyting. any suggestions?
and also, there are 2 other videos that i put in realplayer's favorites, but when i search for them in itunes, (or any other music software) they don't show up, why is this and how and i get them to show up?
and when i try opening the videos in quicktime 7, it says they aren't movie files.
thanks for any help

okay here it is.
1.go to google, search for videora, find the videora converter (thats free) DOWNLOAD IT
2. start up the videora converter and click transcode new video, find the video in your files from ares/limewire or whereever and click it.
3. see the thing beside it that says "New transcoding", once you've clicked a file from #2 press START (do not fiddle with the settings they make it so that your ipod reads the information)
4. it will take minutes to hours depending on how big the file is.
5. once it is CONVERTED (be patient) : go to itunes click file at the top -> go to add file to library .
6. okay your file is in a folder that looks something like this: C:\Program Files\VideoraiPodConverter\Videos . therefore you need to find wherever you uploaded your program (videora) and find the file
labelled "videoraipodconverter" (unless you changed it)
7. once you find this file (in program files most likely) click on "videos" and your video should be there, uploaded and converted
8. there, you're done and it should play both sound and video on your ipod
okay, so enough topic dicussions about this.
please leave comments where i am too vague or it doesn't work and happy holidays
PS: if you're downloading from a CD or DVD you have to save it in a file before you can convert it. Try saving it in "my music"
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR windows XP not MAC
thanks,

Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPad

Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPAd. I tried dragging from desktop and nothing happens, also tried adding file or folder to library and nothing happens.

Convert your movie to quicktime or another format iTunes can play.
If you can add it and play it in iTunes, it will also work on the iPad.

Why do music files get corrupted in iTunes?

Why do music files get corrupted in iTunes? All kinds of files;( mp3, mp4, aac, etc., either purchased from iTunes, Store, downloaded from online, or uploaded from an audio disc) SUDDENLY GET CORRUPTED AND STOP PLAYING! Even if I delete the file from my iTunes and then re-open it from the source, it appears to be corrupted. My system has been thoroughly scanned and does not have and never has hAd, a virus. Music files should not have a shelf life. They're just non-living pieces of information. So why should they suddenly go bad? It is unacceptable that over the past year I have had to delete many files from my iTunes library and find some other source for the same song. It has been an exhausting headache and an exasperating waste of my time.

this is not necessarily the case, I had an itunes library go bad on me. I noticed the corrupt files on my ipod, they were either skipping real bad or sounded like there was some crazy modulation filter applie. Anyways, i went to iTunes and the files were bad there, so I played them in WMP, also bad, so obviously it was a file issue, BUT, what was the source of the corruption.......also, this happened ONLY to mp3s, no other audio file.......so i had backups and copied the bad files from a dvd and played them in WMP, files were good, then i import them to iTunes, and the files are crap again, so I tried just adding to library, still bad. So the file was fine before, once iTunes touched it, the file went bad, I **** you not. So I uninstalled iTunes from my PC, downloaded the newest version and reinstalled, same problems, so i continued trying with a different version, and making sure all registry entries were cleared before installing etc. NOTHING, so in the end i had to start using Winamp and all those files have not since caused me problems. So NO, it does not have to be hard drive issues, assess your own situation and you should be able to figure out if it is your HDD. My problem seemed to be iTunes library corrupting my metadata. However, I could never get it to work. I am glad to say I have since abandoned my PC and bought a new iMac on which i once again happily running iTunes with all the same audio files as before

How do you get LYRICS into iTunes

Is there an easy or automated way to get Lyrics into iTunes using Windows XP wo cutting and pasting? I am a Nano user. Thanks

Yes, you can use EvilLyrics to download lyrics from songs as you play them in iTunes, and then you can use a script to copy those lyrics into iTunes.

I have movies on my Hard drive that I would like to add to my iPad how do I get them into iTunes to download to my iPad?

READ the article from which the question was posted. Then follow the instructions for importing content to iTunes on the computer.
Once the content is in iTunes, connect the device, select the content desired to sync, and sync.

I can no longer drag music from my computer into iTunes.

I updated iTunes to the most recent download and installed the newest update on my iPhone 4. Now I can no longer drag music from my PC into iTunes. Not even into a new playlist. None of my settings changed. Please help.

Try
- Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.
