Problems with adding music folder to itunes

I have a music folder I want to add. The files are WMA so they should work. I checked the permissions of the files and the folders and they are fine. I changed the open with to open with itunes. I tried adding by choosing file - add to library, nothing happens.
I also tried by drag and drop, again nothing.
I cant seem to figure this out, what is preventing them from adding?

iTunes for Mac does not handle WMA. You need to either convert those in iTunes for PC or get something like EasyWMA.

Problems with adding music to itunes

I have about 70gigs of music in a folder (all the albums inside the folder are organized in seperate folders) on my PC and when I go to File -> Add Folder to Library on Itunes, it transfers for about 10 seconds then stops...
Why won't it add the entire folder into my library? I have "copy files to itunes music folder" unchecked.
Thank you in advance.

bleh is right....
As far as I know, you must use iTunes to get songs in the iTunes library.
But there are a lot of 3rd-party applications you can check out that will get music from your PC to the iPod.
I don't have any specific recommendations, I have just seen these mentioned a lot...google on them.
Also Best Buy, Circuit City & the like have 3rd party applications on their shelves.

Problem with adding artwork manually in itunes

I'm having trouble manually adding artwork to several albums in itunes 10.7 on macbook pro (the 'get album artwork' facility won't pick these discs up presumably because they're too obscure).
I go to 'get info', select the relevant check box, then add a non-read only, apparently normal jpg to the artwork box. This image then displays successfully in the artwork box, I press ok, but when I return to the albums list it won't display at all. This has been consistent problem that I haven't only experienced in this version of itunes and it's very irritating having just a few blank albums that refuse to change.
Any ideas what might be causing this. Or is there a workaround or an alternative method I can use to add artwork?

Thanks both for the responses.
Limnos - I can't find an equivalent 'show artwork' function in the view menu in my version of itunes, and I'd rather not have step back to an older version of itunes if I can avoid it.
BUT having thought about it I think the root of the problem must be that they are all albums with .flac files that have been imported into itunes using the 'Fluke' software. I suspect this might be what's causing the problem - and I'm wondering whether that means the problems with Fluke itself. It's annoying that there isn't a quality music player on mac that handles .flac and I have to use these crappy converters.
If anyone has an idea about how to solve this please pitch in, but I suspect this goes beyond the remit of these forums.
och well.

Problems with adding iphone 5 to itunes match

Hello, I am having problems with getting my new iphone 5 to sync up to the itunes match. I currently have 2 itunes accounts, 1 in the Chilean itunes store and 1 in the USA store. Accidentally I registered the iphone to the Chilean store, however I have my itunes match in the USA store. Apparently I need now to wait 90days in order to change the account that the phone is registered. Is there any way around this rule? I am missing my music!!
Many thanks,

Problems with added music sound tracks

Please Help. My music sound files added to iMovie 09 are stuck on full volume and when I close and re-open my project the sound has slightly shifted and is out of sync with the video. The project is over 1 hour long with many varied added sound effects.
I would really appreciate any help
Thanks
Joe

If you go to page 8 of this forum, you'll see that over 1,200 of us have experienced basic audio problems with iMovie 09. I guess you should pick and choose your solution from those who responded on that post...(?)

Problems with adding new Podcast on iTunes

Hello, I'm Sousuke Sagara,
I am having a problem with my xml page, i have done all the stuff on the Podcasts Tech page,
I'm getting this error:
"This feed has no episodes"
And i have it all correct according to the Tech page ._.
This is the Episode infomation:
<item>
<title>MGOF Podcast 1</title>

If their is anything incorrect about this then please tell me.

In the <enclosure> tag, which iTunes uses to locate the media file, you have a period at the end, after the 'mp3' - this invalidates the URL and produces a 'file not found' error, hence the 'no episodes' complaint.

Re-installing problem with My Music Folder

I had successfully moved ITunes to an XHD, and the stupid thing crashed. I DLed an "IPod to HD" copy program and copied all the tunes off the IPod back to the internal HD, into a newly created "My Music" folder. I burned them to DVD just to be safe while they were still MP3s, then DLed ITunes. When I try to start ITunes, it tells me "The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location is inside the "My Music" folder." I created a My Music folder in both my internal HDs just to help it find the folder it wanted, but no go. What can I do to fix this, please?

Perhaps this Apple Knowledgebase article will help:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
Good luck.

Help Needed! I have created a 13 Min Slide Show in iPhoto (iMac Mavericks) but am having problem with adding music.

I created a 13 min Slide Show in iPhoto but have a question on adding music. I would like to add music clips that are set to change at the beginning of certian slides so that there is a varity of music during the show rather than a continuous theme clip. I know you can add multiple clips but can you pin them to change at a particular point in the program? Right now the music clips just run to their time limit and the next one starts. Isn't there a way to edit them the way it can be done in iMovie? Its frustrating to be able to create a nice slide show and not be able to manage the music background. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No, you don't have that fine grained control of the soundtrack in iPhoto. It's designed for a quick job, not a complex one.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Problem with adding music to a slide show

I am trying to add add'l music to a slide show in Elements 9. The first songs added easily. I am now getting a message that the "codec" is insufficient. There does not seem to be any difference in the properties of the songs that are being rejected and the songs that loaded. How do I correct this to add the MP3 songs?

Thanks for your response. In answer to your questions:
1. What is PRE?
2. mpeg is not a choice on my version of pse7. Only mp3, wav, wma and ac3.

(I'm French) Problem with my musics in my itunes library

J'ai téléchargé des musiques que par la suite j'ai effacé de mon ipod touch 4eme Génération. Chaque fois que j'ai essayé de les supprimer de ma bibliothèque itunes, elles sont revenues, pourtant elles sont grisées, et devraient donc disparaître. Elles n'existent plus dans mon ipod, et je ne sais pas comment m'en débarasser. Des idées ou des réponses?
Sorry for my english: I downloaded several musics that I deleted of my ipod touch 4.generation after. But, everytime I tried to delete it of my Itunes library, they are returned. Nevertheless, they are in gray in my library, so, they should disappear. They no longer exist in my ipod, and i don't know how to get rid me of this. Ideas? or answers?
Merci / Thanks

Problems with adding music and videos from a different computer?

I have a 30gig video and it doesnt let me add anything from a computer that my itunes library isnt connected with.
When i try 2 add something it says ill have to switch to this computers media library and it will delete whats on the ipod. I only want to add a few songs and videos and it without deleteing everything
Windows XP

After you set the iPod to manually update, connect it to the second computer. If that message still appears, click "No" on it. Then, select a song in the iTunes library that you want on your iPod and simply click and drag it to your iPod. The top of iTunes will say "updating iPod" if the song was successfully dragged to the iPod.
See this article for more information on updating videos:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302509
The article is much more detailed than what I could ever hope to go into... and it does address manually updating audio files, and using the iPod on an iTunes library that it is not linked to.
Hope this helps you out

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update. Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before. Help! Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update. The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing. Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating! I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

I just dled Itunes onto my new laptop, when I synced with my music folder, all of the songs were duplicate on song list, what do I do?

I just dled Itunes onto my new laptop, when I synced with my music folder, all of the songs were duplicate on song list, what do I do? What did I do wrong, and where do I find a manual to learn how to use ITunes???

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

Hi
I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
is there anything I can do about it?
Thanks

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.
