Trouble importing pre-existing videos on my computer into iTunes?

I'm having trouble importing pre-existing videos on my computer into my iTunes library? For example, I've tried adding a home video and opening it with iTunes, etc, and no error comes up or anything, it just doesn't show up in my iTunes library, not in the music, TV, Movies, Podcasts or Radio. What is the problem, does the video need to be converted to a suitable format? If so, what is this and how do I do this? I'm a new iTunes and iPod user so I would really appreciate any solutions or advice to this problem.

ARG!! me too! I have Widnows Vista as well!! PLEASE!!!! if you EVER find out how to fix this... tell me! I have a video I downloaded from You Tube and it's in the ".flv" format! Apple reads .MP4 along with many others... but this might be a type it doesn't support! so if you ever found out how to fix this.... TELL MEEEE!!!!

How to import camera generated videos from real player into iTunes?

I want to import camera-generated videos from Real Player into iTunes.

Prior to put them to iTunes, you have to convert the video in compatible format.
Best for that is Handbrake --> http://handbrake.fr/

Importing pre-existing source tree... how?

I am working with a group on some projects making heavy use of struts, ant, jUnit, xdoclet, and some other stuff. They have avoided tying their project to any one IDE.
I want to use JDeveloper, which I'm fairly new to, but when I try to import pre-existing source jdev rearranges everything in the project navigation window to suit its preferred source tree structure.
This doesn't work at all with this project.
Is there any way I can get jDeveloper to respect/display the pre-existing source tree structure? It looks a little something like this...
/web
/src
/config
/test
/build
/........etc....
We already have very complex ant scripts to handle everything, and it's hard to logically hunt down some of the files needed in a given situation without the tree.

I got my 'Applet' working but now can't get an 'Application' to execute in netBeans...
APPLET FIX:
- Execute steps 1 & 2 as sabre posted in first respone to my original post.
- Right click the source file and click Properties
- Under Execution change... Executer External Execution to Applet Execution
- Now right click the source file and click Execute.
- netBeans will create the HTML file for you and it will popup and execute the applet.
APPLICATION PROBLEM:
- Error I get & source below
- What is it that netBeans wants or doesn't like about this java application ??
Thanks for the continuing help - I'm still missing something simple, I know. - Will

I can't import music from my computer into Itunes

I've been trying to import music from my computer into Itunes, And it isnt working
I have the latest version of Itunes
When I try adding the files by clicking add file in Itunes or by dragging, it does nothing
I know it means that the file is incompatible with Itunes, But I have put the same type of file into Itunes before with no issues (MP3)

Hey Haley.1182,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble importing music into iTunes. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article should help get the music imported. The second article shows what formats are compatible with iTunes.

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

Can not get a video from my PC into iTunes.

I can't seem to get my video from my PC into iTunes, so I can play them on my iPad. I've tried adding from the library....nothing. I've tried dragging and dropping into iTunes directly from the folder....nothing. Am I over looking something? Please help.

I have an iPad 1 and when I wanted to put a couple of movies on my iPad I found that it would not import them until I reformatted the video from the .AVI they were in to the apple MP4 format and afterward iTunes imported them and I ran the Sync to iPad function and they went right on without any problems.
Hope this helps as Apple doesn't seem to want or care about supporting the iPad 1's. wouldn't have spent the money then if I would have know this would happen since my iPad is not quite 2 years old. I have a 5 year old Dell laptop and they still give total support for it and I paid much less for it !
Good luck.

Do I have to import my songs from my cd's into itunes only? Or can I sync

I just got fifth generationvideo ipod, however I am new to the itunes store etc. Do I have to import my songs from my cd's into itunes only? Or can I sync songs from windows media player off of my cd's?

If you add your Windows Media Player songs to iTunes--the songs will stay in the original place on your computer and you only add a file path. This lets iTunes know where to find the songs. This doesn't take up very much hard disk space. The paths are stored in your iTunes folder (which can be found in your My Documents>My Music folder on your hard drive. You can watch this folder to see how big it gets. When you BUY songs from the iTunes store--then the song file will be stored in your iTunes folder on your hard drive. If you buy a lot of music, this folder could get large.
To add song files or folders, go to the top line of iTunes, click File>Add File OR Add Folder and then navigate to the place on your hard disk where you have your Windows Media Files stored.

Pre-existing video sync - no go

Did not see reference to this in previous posts on this board....
When I sync photos from iTunes to iPhone, none of the video from iPhoto that I've shot on other devices (e.g. Canon elph) make it through to the iPhone. All other pix from selected iPhoto albums come across cleanly.
Does iPhone only support syncing of video that was shot on the unit itself? If so, is there any plan to update this in future patches?
Many thanks in advance.

Also helpful, but having issues making basic conversion. There does not appear to be any simple way from iPhoto to select the .avi video (from Canon Elph) and either convert directly or simply move to iTunes.
Moving to iTunes - drag and drop is rejected (icon just bounces back into iPhoto). Also "add library", and selecting vid produces no result. I'd ideally like to just hand select vids to import into iTunes (presumably converting to MPEG4 on the fly), but not sure how to do this.
Also comfortable with selecting vids individually for conversion, but if I don't know how to get them into iTunes, not sure how this helps.
Thanks again for your assistance. Still looking for a little more. Perhaps a Mac user and/or 3GS user may also be able to provide further insight.

Sending pre existing video

Photos but none of my videos.

Does anyone know how to import an existing mp3, edit, bounce back to iTunes

I have created many songs in Logic Express and have successfully bounced them as mp3 files to iTunes. However, now I'm trying to import a pre-existing mp3 file, edit the length of the track, and export, or 'bounce' it back into iTunes. All seems to work fine, except the shortened mp3 file that ends up back in iTunes plays with no sound.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Appreciate your help. Thanks!

I don't know why this happens but the right way is to bounce an uncompressed file (that you should take apart for future use) and import it in iTunes letting this last to convert.
BTW, try to delete the old .mp3 from the iTunes library before to import the new one.
cheers

I'm using Windows 8. I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos. When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section. what up?

Im using Win8. I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library. This imported into iTunes movies with no issue. I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos. I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted. Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies. And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?. What is going on here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.

How do I move home videos from my computer to itunes?

When I load photos & videos from my iphone, the pics and videos are saved to my computer. When I use Apple TV, I can see the photos, but not the videos. Do I need to "move" them into itunes?

HT1347 How do I import a home movie on my computer to iTunes?

I am trying to import a home made movie on my computer desktop into iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks....

You need burn software to do so. Do you have iLife 09 or 11 installed? If so, you have iDVD which is perfect. What app did you use to edit/put together the movie?
If you don't have iDVD, then take a look at Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free) or google for other apps.
FWIW, I've never parked a home made movie in iTunes, so I have no idea if there is anything you can do with it there. My guess is you need to get it into the burn software. And, if you still have an older version of iMovie, it may still have a burn option within.

How do you import music videos from a dvd into iTunes?

I have got a music cd and includs a music dvd. I want the music videos to be imported into iTunes so I can watch them on my iPod touch. How do I do this?

I had a friend who got a dual-format music album on DVD of the band Chicago for his birthday. He didn't have a system that could play the remixed 5.1 surround sound version on the DVD, but he could play it back in his Mac OS X on the DVD player in good old stereo. However, he wanted a copy he could play in his car CD player.
So I used Audio Hijack to record the output of the DVD played back as stereo through the Apple DVD player in Mac OS X. I had Audio Hijacj write the output to the hard drive as AIFF 16-bit 44.1KHz stereo. Then I used iTunes to burn it to a CD.
Of course it took 45 minutes to make a recording from a 45-minute audio program; it happened in real-time.
(This was all perfectly legal because he owns the DVD and he's using the CD recording as a backup audio copy for his own personal use--basically like ripping a CD you own for use in your iPod).
I did an a/b comparison between the original DVD and the AIFF recording I had generated, and I was pleasantly surprised by its good quality.
Since then I've been an Audio Hijack fan.
