Problems With Adding Songs To Library

I've added over 20 gigs of music to my iTunes library without any problems. But now I have a folder that I'm trying to add, and it acts like there is nothing in it, which means the songs in the folder do not get added to the library. The folder only contains music that is in mp3 format. Anybody got any ideas why iTunes will not add the songs?

Does it act any differently if you open the folder and try adding the songs themselves rather than the whole folder at once?
Do you get any sort of error message, or does it just do nothing?
And can you play any of the songs in that folder with QuickTime outside of iTunes?

Problems downloading/adding songs to library

Whenever I try to add music to my iTunes library and convert it to an AAC file it tells me "You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, right click your iTunes Media folder in Explorer, and choose properties" I also cannot download any purchased songs from iTunes because it tells me "There was a problem downloading ........ you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" it also gives me this message under the status column (zero KB of 6.5 MB - stopped (err = -5000) I tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it and I get the same problem, I even took my computer in to be looked at and everything works except for iTunes so I am thinking that there may be something wrong with the latest version of iTunes 10.5.2, is there any fix to this issue as I have never had a problem with iTunes until this version was released, any help would be greatly appreciated

Issue with adding songs to library.

Hey, I am having problems putting songs into my library. I've tried Adding the files and folders seperatly, but nothing shows up in the library. All of the songs are MP3's and seem to play fine in WMP...Anyone else have this problem?

i also have the same problem.
basically, what i did, is i went to Add folder to library, and chose My Music. So it loaded all the songs, and shows in the bottom that i have 4780 songs. But when i do the same in Winamp, it shows 6806 songs. So i checked the Library in iTunes and saw that some songs were missing, in what seems like a random manner. For example, i have the album "The Art of Drowning" from AFI, but only 2 songs from them are showing in the iTunes library, yet i have no problem playing them in Winamp, or even Windows Media Player. I tried adding a couple files manually, but it still doesn't work.
(those are songs from CD's i own personnally)
Please help,
Thanks.
edit: i found something out in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2260889&#2260889
i tried removing both ID tags from a certain song and then iTunes accepted it. There is no way i can do this manually on the ~2500 songs that iTunes is not playing. I will try the program mentionned (TidyMP3) and come back with results.

ITunes 7.2 problem with adding songs

ever since I installed iTunes 7.2, my iPod only lets me add ONE song at a time to the library, instead of holding down the control key while selecting multiple songs. whenever I want to add an album, I have to click on Add File To Library a separate time for every single song on the album, it's completely ridiculous. any ideas?
Windows 2000

that does work but it doesn't solve the problem. if I want to add multiple songs from a large folder but not all the songs, I would still have to do it the other way.
I was a little unclear also as to what actually happens. if I do select multiple songs, iTunes does absolutely nothing, it doesn't add them to the library, as if I didn't select anything. this never happened before I did the 7.2 update.

Problems with adding songs and podcasts after moving itunes folder.

Hey guys
I just purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. And am using it as an external hard drive more than the time machine.
I moved my iTunes folders from my MBP to the Time Capsule and now run the music from there. When I plugged my
iPhone 4 in to transfer some music and podcasts, and also to clean some music off the iPhone it wouldn't le me do it.
When I transferred music it would just hover over the iPhone and not drop in.
I don't know whether it was because I changed everything around or what. How do I get this back? Can someone
Please help me.
Thank you so much.

It sounds to me that your iTunes Library File on your MBA isn't properly synced to your music located on you external HDD.
In your itunes menu, under File you have an option to "Add" music into your library. Use this to point to your music folder on your HDD. This will then create a new iTunes Library File and populate your music correctly in the version of iTunes on your MBA.
This should resolve your issue.

Problem with adding Sun JSF RI v1.2 as a new library in JDeveloper 10.1.3.1

Hi,
I have a problem with adding a latest JSF 1.2 RI from Sun (https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/files/documents/1866/44998/jsf-1_2_03.zip) to JDeveloper as a new library.
I created a new User library and added into it jsf-impl.jar and jsf-api.jar from JSF 1.2 RI.
Then I try to create two new JSP Tag libraries based from .tld files.
When a .tld file is placed in "TLD File:" field there is no information below about Library Version and Required JSP Version. If I check "Execute Tags in JSP Visual Editor" and click "Customize" button - list of tags in "Customize Tag Library" window is empty.
I have errors when I try to use JSF Tags from this new library in JSP page like :
"Can't create tag instance: f:view (class: null). Make sure, that the tag class or a library contained this class is available in this application"
(free translation to English)
Is this possible to add JSF RI v1.2 as another library in Jdeveloper 10.1.3.1 ?
thanks for help

Hi,
This solution is not exactly for Jdeveloper 10.1.3.x I think.
- "Create a JSF system library." section, point 2. - there is not possible to add library in folder other than User I see, so I added it in User folder.
- "Register the JSF JSP tag libraries." section, point 5. - in JD 10.1.3 there is no dialog box, I checked checkbox "Show Tag Library in Palette". A new library was added to User folder but there is no new libraries in component Palette.
Even as I use "Edit tag libraries .." from Component Palette context menu and add manually new tag libraries to selected, there is no libraries in Component Palette after it.
I feel so problem is with different .tld files format, not with adding libraries method.
Sun RI tld file (from version 1.2_03) fragment:

Problems with adding Library for a MySQL JDBC driver

Good day,
I am new with the JDeveloper package, so the following could be a user fault.
I found the following:
- I downloaded and installed Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.10 (latest version).
- I downloaded the latest JDBC drivers for MySQL. ( mysql-connector-java-3.1.10 )
Now, I did the following steps extracted from the link http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/duff/mysql_and_oc4j3.html it should be quite easy to add the JDBC Drivers to the project.
I did the steps with the following results:
When I Edit the Project properties, follow Profiles -> Development -> Libraries
When I do ' New' , fill in at JS2E the value 'MySQL' and fill in the Class Path (in my case 'C:\javaInstalls\mysql-connector-java-3.1.10\mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar').
In that case the [OK] is disabled. I should expect the [OK] button was enabled!
My question: Is this a bug? When not, what am I doing wrong!
Regards,
Mike

I tried it on an other system and had no problems with adding the libraries. It still is a problem on that particular system using the Dutch version of XP. The problem is that the Ok button stays disabled !
Could it bw a version problem with Java? How ever no changes are made to the original configuration, so it should pick up as default the java version of JDeveloper self.

[SOLVED] Problem with adding a SSH connection to startup

you need -f, which sends ssh to the background, and -N which does not execute a remote command.
If you need it to run as a user other than root, then you probably need to utilize su as well.
it didnt work either. i am putting it in rc.local but doesnt work.

Problem with adding new field to the mass change screen in FBL5N

Hi,
We have a problem with adding the field XREF3 to the mass change screen. We followed steps described in the SAP Note 640908, but the result is that when we try to mass change some documents in FBL5N and enter some values in the mass change screen, a message appears: "Please enter at least one new value" and nothing is changed.
If you have faced with such a problem, we would be grateful if you give us some tips.

Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

Hi,
I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
Thanks,
Jule

Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain. Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8... I'll try 01, 02...
Probably a good idea.
The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs. Then, iPod locks up.
Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes? What is the original source for these tracks? Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?

Problems with playing songs in iTunes

as the subject says. I have som problems with playing songs. not everyone just a some..
If we take for example that a song is 8min. then at 1.40 it just stops and goes to the next one. I can jump over it with pressing in the middle for example. it plays. as normal. UNTIL. 3 mins. then the same problems appear. I don't really understand how. just between 1.40-1.50 iTunes thinks that the song is finished. I know my english isn't so good but cuz there is no swedish support. I have to write here. any answers would be good

I'm having a similar problem.
Every now and then, a track from a ripped CD or from iTunes or from eMusic will "look" OK in iTunes (or on my iPod), but when the track plays, it gets partially through and it jumps to the next track in the playlist.
For example, if playback of track 1 pauses and jumps to track 2 at 1:30 into playback of track 1, & I click on 1:31 or later in track 1, the rest of track 1 will play fine. But if the playback of track 1 starts at the before the "skip point," the track will stop & iTunes (or iPod) goes on to the next track in the playlist. If I locate the file (on my external drive) and play it in the finder, there's always buzzing sound at the point where the iTunes jumps to the next track.
For ripped CD's this is not a huge deal, I just re-rip & usually all is well. With eMusic, I can download again, but with iTunes, I have to file a complaint & so far they've just credited my account, which is OK, but time consuming.
At first I thought the problem was with my optical drive, but then the problem started happening with downloads from iTunes and eMusic as well. NONE of these shenanigans happened before I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem is. One thing's for sure: I'm not going to "jump" at the next upgrade of iTunes!
I'm totally stumped & bummed. iTunes used to be a really good friend, now I find myself wondering if I should bother with putting my entire CD collection on iTunes if it's no longer as reliable as it used to be.

Problem with certain songs and ipod corrupting itself

my 4g ipod has some serious problems with some songs, almost exclusively by bands with "S" names (something corporate, saves the day, and snow patrol off the top of my head - and I doubt it matters anyways). It will either play the first few seconds of the song or won't play it at all before it skips to the next track. I've tried converting the offending tracks/cd's to AAC with little success. While the song is trying to play the hard drive is clicking/vibrating/working at a rapid pace. I know this isn't a good thing at all, and there probably isn't a way to fix it, but if someone can fill me in with any info, it would be appreciated, as it's starting to happen to more and more songs.
Also, it corrupts itself about once a week and I have to restore and reload all my songs. This isn't a huge issue because I don't keep anything exclusively on the ipod but it is annoying.
Any advice, insight, or pity is appreciated.

it's now corrupting itself every time I plug it into my computer. I fear it may be a goner. Lasted a little less than 18 months.

Problems with adding funds

I have used the same card in the past with no problems at all but now for some reason it keeps on saying that the card number is invalid every single time ! Please help me , is there any solution ?

Thanks I use this
2.) You can make one of your buttons the default
button of the frame:
this.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(confirm);
well, did you implement the first suggestion of quitte?
here is an idea that might work!
JTextField username;
JPasswordField password;
JButton confirmButton;
   username.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
         password.requestFocus();
   ActionListener l = new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
         //optional check for username and password length>0
        //process logon.
   password.addActionListener(l);
   confirmButton.addActionListener(l);

Problem adding songs to library

First of all, a couple of weeks ago I got the dreaded "corrupt library file" error message. Tried everything I could to get it back with no luck. I finally decided that I would just start from scratch and re-add all of my music to the library, and in doing so, clean it up and get it all labeled correctly once and for all.
Fast forward to today. First time after upgrading to 7.3, I open iTunes and proceed to Add to Library... Well, it let me add one song, no problem. Then I tried to add another, and nothing. Tried adding an album, and while it popped up a window saying it was processing the tracks, they didn't get added to the library. Keep in mind that all of the music I'm trying to add to the library is already in the iTunes music folder.
What am I dong wrong?

for some reason the edit function is not working - so i am going to reply to my own message...I jsut tried to click on some of the mps files in the media folder that I mention above ( but not showing in itunes) and they start to play in itunes.
also error above - i am using vista.
