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 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.

  • Problems with transferring music from itunes to ipod

    Hello, I've never had problems with iTunes but this issue amazes me! I emptied my whole iTunes Library the other day, and added a whole load of new songs. Then, when I was finished with my selection I connected my iPod Nano to USB portal at my pc. iTunes recognised the iPod and also said: bijwerken.. niet loskoppelen (moving files, don't disconnect). This takes 2 seconds and then it says the iPod is ready with transferring files.
    Then I notice that no files where moved at all. My iPod is empty for two days now and It's killing me !! hehe, please help ?!

    I'm not sure if this is what you are after but Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    You'll also find instructions here on uninstalling iTunes: Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes</a
    I hope these are of some help, take care.

  • I have problems with importing music to iTunes, can somebody please help me?

    I have all my music organized on an external hard disc in folders for each artist and album, but I can only import some of the folders. It’s like iTunes isn’t registering specific folders, and just skip these folders while the rest of the folders is added as normal. I have tried to add the missing folders manually but it doesn’t help.  I simply can’t add some music to iTunes, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    It's the file attributes. The files will add but when you try to add a folder it doesn't work. You can get a bulk attribute changer progeam like BulkFileChanger and get rid of the Hidden and archive attributes, This fixed my problem.

  • 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

    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...(?)

  • Problem with adding Videos in itunes

    Can someone please please help me!
    Ever since i upgraded to the latest version of itunes I started encountering problems/difficulties in adding videos in itunes library. All the videos that I'm trying to upload are in the correct file format (mpeg4/mp4). I tried adding using Add File to Library, Add Folder to library and even Import..nothing happens..no prompt that its uploading. In the end can't add any video.
    I tried doing this using my PC and my laptop and i still encounter the same problem so I can say that th problem is not on my computers.

  • 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.

  • 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 syncing music on iTunes

    I connected my iPhone to computer and the space left bar on the summary tab on the interface for it in iTunes is just showing all of the data is 'other'. No music or videos are showing up on my iPhone either although before i connected it they did, on iTunes no music or video is showing up when i click on the options in the drop down menus. No other data appears to have been lost as i still have all my apps that I have downloaded on there. Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on hwta caused this or any solutions to this problem? Any help would be appreciated

    I'm having exactly the same problem- have tried uninstalling my apps, and manually synching things, but can't work out what 'other'things I have that are filling up my memory!

  • Problem with streaming music from iTunes to iPhone

    Hello all, I have a problem for which I have not been able to find a solution despite multiple Google searches. I can't seem to access ALL my music from the Macbook Pro (13", 2011, latest OSX) on my iPhone 5. I've turned on home sharing on iTunes. From the music app, I can access my library from my iPhone. The problem is, several songs are missing from the library! I just can't seem to make all of my iTunes music available for streaming (I have 30+ gigs worth of music on my Mac).
    Strangely enough, all of my music is accessible from my AppleTV. In fact, using the Remote app on my iPhone, I can my iTunes library in its entirety. The problem is, the Remote app only lets you stream to the AppleTV or play the music on the computer speakers. Sometimes, I just want to stream the music to the iPhone so I can llisten to it through headphones.
    Is there a solution to this problem? Is there a limit on how much music the iPhone can access over WiFi? That doesn't seem to be a problem for AppleTV. 

    My music has been accumulated over many years and is from multiple sources. Most of the missing songs were not purchased from iTunes and I've only ever had one AppleID. The thing is though....most of the available songs were also not purchased from iTunes.

  • 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.
