Putting videos into iTunes library

For some reason, my iTunes doesn't recognize .avi or other video files except for .mpg ones and it doesn't put them in the library. I have currently 3 video's, all .mpg. Can you help me please?

The problem is indeed that by default iTunes only supports videos that are MPEG4 or MOV. However, there is a tool available, VideoDrive, which allows you to add all current video formats (including AVI) WITHOUT reconversion. The tool simply adds a small pointer file in your iTunes library, pointing to your AVI file. Problem fixed! And you can keep your videos on any (external) drive you like.
The tool also adds cover art (so your videos appear with DVD covers in Cover flow in iTunes) and metadata info about your movies and TV Shows. I use it almost every day to add new content to iTunes (we don't have videos in the iTunes store over here)
The tool is available at www.aroona.net (only for Mac OS X)

Cannot upload videos into itunes library!

sorry if this is the wrong place to post or something, but i'm in desperate need of help!
i can't seem to upload any of my own videos into itunes video library. i heard that i'm supposed to drag the file into the library but when i do that it just stays the same and nothing happens. i tried to reformat the video files to MPEG but it still doesn't work.
Can someone please help me?
PS. I'm using Ipod video

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Open Quicktime. Try to open the video through that. Does it open and play in Quicktime?
Also, right click on the video file. Go to properties. What is the file type/kind?
You will most likely need to use a 3rd Party Converter, as iTunes will only accept videos that are compatible with Quicktime.

Please help me. I cannot import videos into itunes library

I have read the manual's entries on doing this and nothing seems to be working. It won't let me import my own videos into the itunes library for me to convert to a file recognized by ipod. I have a 5th generation ipod. I am doing everything it tells me to do and still nothing. I have called technical support and they won't help me because I didn't purchase the videos through itunes. I have tried to click and drag the file and it won't let me do it even though the manual says that's what to do. when I look into the movies tab it is blank. When I put a dvd in my drive to copy to itunes library it doesn't even show up. I am going crazy and am about to return this if I can't get this figured out.

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3. How do I get the voice memos from my phone? I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it. My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do.
Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3.
How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer? All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos. Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes?

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

Unable to import videos into iTunes library

For the past few week I have been unable to import videos from my computer into the iTunes library using either the drag and drop or import file methods. I am using the latest version of iTunes and a second generation iPod touch.
I have tried using file formats: wmv, av1, mpeg & mp.4 but all refuse to load into the library. To test I have changed a file name of a video that was successfully loaded into the library a while ago and this file also refuses to load. I have also used 'Smart FLV Converter' to convert the files to 'MP4 for iPod' and this converted file also cannot be imported. All of the files play OK from the desktop.
Any suggestions as to how to overcomne this problem would be appreciated

I don't know if this helps but my iTunes was crashing everytime I tried to add a file located in the "My videos" folder. I moved the files to "My Music" Folder and had no problems. Seems like a simple/stupid solution but it worked for me. I still don't know why it wasn't allowing me to do it in the first place.

Putting video into itunes

How do you put movies or tv shows that you have downloaded from limewire, kazaa etc into itunes. Also, how do you convert video files into whatever format that the ipod reads.

Hows about using Google or maybe I will educate you.
Purchase Quicktime Pro 7 and it will do it for you.
Just so you know, The new Video IPOD (Got mine today)
is and never will be a replacement for products like
the Archos AV 700 or similar units. It doesn't
support DIVx, which is the easiest format to work
with. Great Quality. I have done testing all day and
I have come to realize that their MP4 video files,
which of course are locked (and they want to keep it
that way) were meant for the IPOD and iTunes.
MP4 files (audio or video) are only locked if you purchase them from Apple. If you convert your own files to MP4, they will not be locked in any way.

Can't put video into itunes or ipod

Hi,
I did spend some time searching and I tried several things but I can't figure it out. My friend burned me a cd with Wedding Crashers as an .avi file. I used "im too mpeg encoder" to change the file into .mp4, mpeg4. I click and drag it and drop it in my ipod folder on itunes, and nothing happens. I try the same thing except drag it into my library and nothing happens, doesn't even show up. I have clicked on file 'add file' to library and i click on it and nothing happens, and add folder and added the folder it was in. All the files in the folder loaded except the wedding crashers .mp4. If anyone has any suggestions or links to places where this has already been asked and answered I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I need HELP!

I cant add music videos to itunes library of itunes version 10.7

I am using itunes version 10.7. I am unable to add music videos into Itunes library. The Movies section remains blank when i select a music video and add it to library.

Why you open a new thread for questions which where answered already 100 times...and do nou use the search option???
But quickly:
1. The IPOD Video needs the right video format
2. There a dozends of 3rd party SW solutions available to convert almost every format into the IPOD Video compatible format - some of them are freeware - use e.g. Google to find some.

I lost my ipod. Bought a used one to replace it. When I plug it into the computer, the computer doesn't even seem to realize it's plugged in. How do I put my existing itunes library onto the new (used) ipod?

How do I clear out a used ipod classic and put my existing itunes library on it? I lost my previous ipod and bought a used one to replace it.

Do one or more of the following
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice (won't erase everything)
> Go to My Computer (windows xp) or Computer (windows vista & 7) and see if iDevice shows
> Restore the iDevice completely (will erase everything)
> Make sure the iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up-to-date.
The ones I cross over is the ones you don't have to do. This should help

How Do I Get Home Videos into iTunes?

I have 6 home videos that I want to put into iTunes....both the iTunes library on the hard drive and the iTunes app. I had them in there but for some reason they got mixed up and I deleted them. I have the copies so how do I get them into the iTunes library on my hard drive and into the itunes app so I can look at them.
It is such a mess and I'm trying to make my question as simple as possible. Here is one thing that happens...when I tried to put the videos into iTunes they went into a folder called Home Videos. But there is no folder on iTunes called Home Videos....it is called Movies which is where the videos were before. There is no place for me to access a folder called Home Videos because there isn't one. And, If I access the old Movie Folder it is empty. The Movie folder is permanent....put there by iTunes so I can't delete it and add add one called Home Videos.
Can anyone straighten out this mess? The only good news is that I still have copies of the home videos...they were not deleted.

Drag them into the library folder.

How do I import just PART of a song from a CD into iTunes Library?

I am trying to get just a little bit of one of my songs from my CD into iTunes Library so I can use it on a website. I do not want the entire song. Can this be done?

No, not as far as I know.
You can, once imported, change the 'Start Time:' and 'Stop Time:' (Get Info, Options tab) and convert it, using the converter of your choice.
The copy will have the length between start and stop times.
Beware of copyright issues before putting (parts of) songs on a website.
If you own the copyright, it's no problem of course.
Hope this helps.
