Totally lost; uploading mpeg4 files to iTunes!

I had songs on my iPod which I got from a friend's computer and from my laptop (which is currently in repair)and I uploaded them onto my PC using Yamipod.
Somehow, I managed to wipe everything off my iPod but I wasn't too bothered because I had copied all the files on to my PC.
The files off all the songs which were on my iPod are all in a folder under My Music in MPEG4 format. However, I now cannot import any one of them into iTunes so I can put them all back on my iPod as well as having them in my iTunes library.
Nothing is working, they will not play or import into iTunes, they will not play in RealPlayer or Windows Media Player. I don't know why and it is very frustrating! I thought I had them all backed up onto the PC but they are not functioning!
Please help

Can somebody please help me?!

  • Uploading new files to iTunes U suddenly not working

    One of the instructors I support has been uploading mp3 files to iTunes U all semester. Suddenly, he can't upload. He starts it, and it says it is finished, but the Upload progress bar never goes away and his new file is never added to the list of files. I can upload just fine to his shell from my machine. We are using the same version of iTunes (7.6.0.29). What can I do to help him?

    Same prof had the same problem, so I went over to his office this morning. He stepped through the process, opened it in Audacity, saved it as an Audacity project, and exported it to MP3. During upload, it still reached the end showing the filesize uploaded and the total filesize and hung there without finishing. Like your experience, it has worked in the past. I showed him how to drag the WAV file into iTunes and convert it to MP3, edit the metadata in Info and upload that file. That worked like a charm. At this point, I'm recommending going through iTunes if there's no editing. But the question remains, why is this happening?

  • Suddenly unable to upload mp3 files using iTunes Match

    I've got a USB turntable and have enjoyed digitizing a lot of LPs and copying them into iTunes.  I digitized a 10-track album just yesterday, and can copy the resulting mp3 files into iTunes, where they play fine, but they won't upload to iCloud using iTunes Match. It gets to the point where it's supposed to upload tracks it cannot match and just sits there.  I use Audacity to digitize from the USB turntable, and it exports as MP3 file. This has worked over many albums but now seems to be stuck. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

    So my issue appears to be with uploading mp3 files that probably won't match anything in iCloud.
    iTunes match matches Audio files by comparing the audio and not by comparing the tags for the album. My iTunes Library contains more than 500 songs that have been ripped and matched from vinyl records or audio tapes.
    The songs will not match, if there is not the exact same recording in the store, but if the audo quality is good and the tempo of the player was exact, the song will be matched.

  • How to upload music files into iTunes, iCloud

    How do I upload music & other files (like photos) into iTunes, iCloud & iphone 4S?  I restored my phone yesterday & had to upgrade to iTunes 11.0.2 from 10, as prompted by the system.  Pls help as I am a novice in iphones & family

    You cannot upload music files from your iPhone, but you could sign up for iTunes Match and use it to match your existing music with iTunes so that you can download it right from your device. See more information for Apple's iTunes Match: https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • Can't upload .mov files to iTunes anymore

    Hi!  I don't know if this just started when I upgraded to Lion and did all of the recent updates to iTunes, and added iCloud, etc, but suddenly I can't drag .mov files into iTunes like I used to be able to do. I can't add them with the Add To Library menu either. Because of this I can't put them on my iPad. Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a fix?  TIA!

    Actually, I can't open anything in quicktime anymore. I've tried opening avis, mov, mp4 and m4a files... all give the same error message and number. I've reinstalled both qt and itunes but no luck.

  • How upload epub file on iTunes U

    I created a feed with multiple epub in it and uploaded it by iTunes U Public Manager, then publish it on my istitution page.
    If I try to download one of it (click on "free" button) the button changes and nothing is downloaded.
    If I try to upload manually an epub file on iPad, iBooks open it quickly. iTunes not.
    I've checked the epub file by different "epub validator" and it is ok.
    So, what is the problem?

  • Burning mpeg4 files in iTunes

    I'm trying to back up a CD I just bought through iTunes. I'm using a 700MB, 80 min CD-RW. The CD I bought is 21 songs, 50:32 total time and 47.3 MB. I put them in a playlist and click burn CD - onto a brand new CD. I get a message that the playlist won't fit onto one CD and it asks me if I want to burn it across multiple CDs. It doesn't matter if I say yes or not, it won't do it.
    So I tried shortening the playlist. No matter how small I make it, it won't work.
    I've tried a different CD to no avail.

    I sent the post to iTunes support too and this is the response they sent me. Like I didn't already try this stuff. I dont think they actually READ my email.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Uploading .wav file from ITunes to IPod as mp3

    All the cd's I have added to Itunes are in the .wav format to achieve highest quality for playing on my pc or other external systems. I would like to download these file to my Ipod as MP3, but cannot seem to find a way to download and convert without changing the format in my library before I send the files to the Ipod which would leave me with a library of MP3 files.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    I have iTunes set to not update almost all podcasts, because I want the kind of control you're asking for.
    To get episodes onto my iPod I drag the ones I want into a playlist that is set to update on the iPod. That way I get exactly the episodes I want, in the order I want them. Essentially, each one of those playlists is radio magazine made out of exactly what I want to listen to, and I don't have to mess with the iPod controls while I'm walking.

  • Can't upload individual files into ITunes.

    I click Add to library and go to a folder. I used to be able to double click on the folder to expand it and add an individual file from within. Now the whole folder gets uploaded. Now to add individual files from a folder, I have to first drag the file elsewhere, like my desktop, and add it to the library from there.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    You can still add individual tracks by selecting add to library, chose folder then track.

  • ITunes (Win) crashing when trying to match/upload large files

    Hi there,
    I've got a little problem with iTunes Match again. Imho it is still veeery buggy but it certainly improved a bit!
    So the problem is:
    I am listening to mixes a lot - meaning: large mp3 files with runtimes up to 3hrs.
    When I load files like these into my iTunes lib on Windows 7 and then try to upload them into the cloud 9 out of 10 times iTunes simply crashes while analyzing these large files ("iTunes stopped working"). Nothing I can do. Even trying to upload these files one by one didn't help.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what to do about this?
    thanks, cheers
    P

    Thanks for the reply!
    I know that 200mb is the limit. But as you already noted it should just say "not compatible" or whatever but not just simply crash. Problem is I can't have these tracks in my iTunes library then because every time I try to sync my lib with Match it tries to sync these files as well and iTunes just simply crashes.
    I also have a Macbook so I will try to upload the files via iTunes on the Mac. If that doesn't help last idea may be to reduce file size ... although I hate doing this as I prefer 256kbit files.
    Split into two would be another idea.
    Anyways I had these problems with large files couple of times already but could always fix it by syncing one file at a time. not this time though.

  • Upload audio files and share them for free

    I would like to upload audio files onto ITunes.  I would like to do this at work so that I can share it with whomever wants to listen to them for free.  Is this possible?  If so, how many audio and or visual files can I upload, what would the duration of the video be and would I have copyright to these files?
    Thank you,
    Ashifa

    Unfortunately, LE7 doesn't include what you need, although (pre-Apple) Logic Audio 6 did - the EXS Instrument Editor. Keymap, from Redmatica, is a more robust editor, but it hasn't been released yet (second half of 2005, according to their site).
    I don't know of any others, maybe someone else here does.

  • Sync songs from iCloud as well as local files in iTunes?

    I am using iCloud match to access my music library.
    I have some mp3 files that are deemed "ineligible" by Apple for uploading to iCloud.  These files are on my PC and in iTunes.  I can play them on my PC.
    How do I use iCloud as well as sync/upload local files in iTunes to my iDevices (3Gs, iPad3)?
    Now, if I go into the Music" tab of my device in iTunes, I just see "iTunes Match is on" message and there seems to be no way to mix-n-match files from iCloud and local files on my PC.
    PS: Bonus question: What happens when I exceed the 25000 track limit for iCloud Match?  Then I'll have files in iCloud as well as on my PC, in iTunes, that I'll want to sync and listen to .... How do I do that?

    I figured it out looking through some similar questions.  Went to "File, Add Folder to File" and then selected the "Music" folder above.

    can anyone help with retrieving My Library in Itunes and Itunes store - having updated Itunes and Icloud on 24 September 13, my computer failed and I lost all my files which were eventually backed up to an Emergency Backup.  my computer is now working again and I have down loaded Itunes and transferred all the files from my Emergency Backup.  Non of the music went back into Itunes, so I had to find these files and manually moved them to Itunes.  The music is now in Itunes, but I no longer have the folder named My Library, which I think is the reason my Ipad, ipod no longer sync any additional music I have added to Itunes. Does anyone know how to rectify this please.
    Many thanks.  Crusey

    iTunes expects files and folders to be in very specific locations.  When you start iTunes it looks for a file called library.itl which is in the iTunes folder.  It then uses all the references in that file which tell it where all your media files are located to build up the view you normally see.  Probably you moved the library file so iTunes cannot find it and it will make a default one which is empty.  When you plug in your iPod it isn't recognizing the library since it is not the same one to which you synced last.
    Simply put, you need to undo all your file moves.  Not as eaily done as stated but since I cannot quite see from here exactly what you spent an hour doing last night it will be up to you.  Did you make a backup before doing all this?

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.
