Unable to add videos to iTunes 7

I downloaded iTunes 7 yesterday evening. After i was finished installing and i connected my ipod a warning appeared saying that none of the videos in itunes could be copied to the ipod because of their format, but even though in version 6.0.5 the videos played and loaded onto my ipod. all my videos were converted to m4v. i deleted the old videos and tried to import the converted videos again, but iTunes didn't seem to do anything. the videos just don't seem to appear in the Movies library or in my playlist.
Can somebody please help me? should i just wait for an update or downgrade to earlier version?
kind regards,
robkress

I am having a very similar problem,
I backed up a bunch of TV shows that I paid for through I tunes on an external drive. However when I try to drag them back into my library they don't work. I spent 60 dollars on two seasons that I can no longer get to work now that I have upgraded. Is this how we should be rewarded for supporting itunes. How do you take MP4 that you had in a different hard drive and back them up. I never copied the whole library just the folder with the tv shows in it. Please help!!!!!!!!

    We will need to know full details about your issue -  format of the videos, version of iTunes, and what exactly happens when you try to add them - before anyone can be of any help. If you're referrring to iTunes on your computer, you may be more likely to get a quick and useful suggestion if you ask the iTunes forum appropriate for your computer platform (Mac or Windows).

  • Just downloaded 10.7 and it won't let me add videos to iTunes.

    Just downloaded 10.7 and it won't let me add videos to iTunes. Previous version worked fine. I tried to "add file to library" nothing. I've tried to drag the file....nothing. Just a red circle with a line through it. Any suggestions?

    These sound like interrelated problems that are probably system errors/issues on your computer.   I see you are already pursuing them here  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16835461#16835461

  • I am unable to add video files to my itunes library

    I have been trying to add videos to my itunes library for a few hours now, i have the correct format MPEG-4's as stated on here as the correct format, but when i go to add them nothing comes up and im wondering why ?

    HI.Andrew.  Thanks for the reply.  I think there has been misunderstanding and I am sorry about it.  I am not streaming from my computer using Twonky.  I have videos on my networked EZ drive in a media shared folder called movies.  I also have photos in other folders as well which have no problem streaming.   A majority of these videos (nearly 99%) are in the latest .m2TS or MPEG-4 format (from  my video camera) and about 8 of them are in the MPEG-1 format.  I used to be able to use my networked SOny Blu-Ray player to stream these videos (any format) to my TV  and watch them, till this february when i updated my firmware.  It does not need my laptop to be on for that (hence not media integrationissues).  After my firmware update, the only video that plays are the eight MPEG-1 format videos.  Very strange.  I have no problem streaming photos or music from the EZ drive.  I think I might have confused you with the Twonky thing, because on the EZ drive's manager window on the browser, after selecting "Media server" settings, I used to see a twonky server against my laptop PC in the table of connected devices (for media integration), which I now understand was because of media integration of the laptop.  So please ignore that.  I now get the message "no playable file found" when I try to stream videos from the EZ drive through my Blu-Ray player.  I do see the Lenovo-EMC2 icon on my Blu-ray players video channels, clicking on it does show me folders, but it cannot find any playable file, while earlier it used to play those same files.  I dont understand what happened.  I am hoping you can throw some light on this issue. 

  • 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.

  • How can I add videos to itunes?

    I've been trying to add video files to itunes, either through drag and drop or adding from the file menu, but each time the video does not come up in itunes?

    Thanks for the post. This was for downloaded youtube videos, I downloaded with Net Video Hunter and they were VLC files, so I guess not itunes supported. How can you download youtube files as MP4 files?

  • I can't add videos to itunes in windows xp & windows 7

    I'm using windows 7, I cant add the vdeos to the library of tje itunes.There isn't any problems wtih video formats, 'cos this videos i had in my iphone 4s before I used windows xp. First time when I used windows XP i can add videos, but then i can't add

    There are settings that you can set when the ipod is connected to itunes that you can set on how the tv shows and movies load onto the ipod.
    1. Open itunes and connect the ipod to the computer.
    2. Find one of the tv shows that are not moving over to the ipod and double click on it to play it. If the computer is not authorized to play the content, a window will open for you to put in your account name and password to authorize the computer.
    if your ipod is set to automatically sync with itunes, follow these steps
    3. once the video or movie plays on the computer. Click on the ipod on the left hand side of itunes so that you see a summary page on the right side of itunes.
    4. at the top of the summary page, you will see a row of tabbs, click ont he tv shows tab.
    5. then select how you want the tv shows to load onto the ipod.
    If your ipod is set to manually manage
    3. drag and drop the tv shows or movies onto the ipod on the left side bar of itunes.
    Here is a link to an article on the apple support website that will help you out.

  • "I cannot add video to itunes and my iphone i see this warning "Example' was not copied to the iPhone because it cannot be played on this iPhone."

    I'm having this same problem, except the option to "create iphone/ipod version" is greyed out and I can't select it. I tried to sync it after I noted that, but the same "cannot copy video" message came up.

  • Unable to add video files to Library

    Hello, good evening.
    (I don't even know how to start...)
    I'm having some problems while trying to add video files to iTunes' library. No matter if I try to drag it in, or use the File > Add file to Library option, it just doesn't show up on the Video category (or any other category either). However, it adds music files and downloads podcasts perfectly. Also, everything in the library syncs to the iPod without problems, including the videos that were already there prior to the iTunes 6 to 7 update.
    The video is already a .mp4, converted with the Videora iPod Converter. I'm using iTunes 7.0.1 on Windows XP. If other detail is needed to answer my question, just ask.
    I guess this is it...
    PC   Windows XP  

    Wierd. When you say it doesn't show up in the Video category, you mean "movies" category, right? Because there is no "video" category.
    I don't think iTunes would mistake it for a music file, and it probably wouldn't show up in TV shows (and I'm sure you already tried that), but did you check under Podcasts?
    It doesn't give you an error message when you go to import? Can you play the file within windows?
