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).

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?

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.

Music Library Empty; Unable to Add Folder to Library

Hi,
I recently wiped out my XP Pro desktop without backing up my ITune music. However, my ITune music remained intact on my IPod.
I then:
--In ITunes>Devices, checked "Manually manage music and videos"
--Moved ITune music to an external drive
--In ITunes>Devices, UNchecked "Manually manage music and videos"
--In ITunes, Music in Library went blank
--Moved ITune some music from an external drive \iPod_Control\Music to My Music\iTunes\Music on my C Drive
--in ITunes, File>Add folder to Library from My Music\iTunes\Music
--Music appeared correctly in Library
--I then moved additional music from an external drive \iPod_Control\Music to My Music\iTunes\Music on my C Drive
--Music was not updated in Library
--I then deleted all music and imported again, with no change
I am still unable to see any music in the Library after attempting to add folder to Library. However, my Device is showing 45gig of information.
Any ideas why would be appreciated!
Thanks, Steve

Add Video without Library Replacement??

I don't think this is possible, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I have a large music and video collection on a G5 desktop that I use as my main iTunes collection. I sync my 5G iPod with that desktop. I also have a PowerBook G4 that I use for travel, that I keep a much smaller collection of tunes on just for syncing with a mini when I travel.
Here's my question. I'm on the road and would like to download last night's episode of "Lost" to watch on my 5g. Is there anyway to add the episode to the iPod without having to replace my entire library that is already on the iPod from my desktop?
Thanks

You can dissolve to a clip that's not on the primary storyline. You can also connect the clip and then overwrite it into the primary.
the add Video only feature is broken
How are you doing this? Insert will not wipe out what's in the timeline. Are you doing an overwrite from the browser? Don't. It overwrites, video and audio. The video and audio are a single track on the primary unless you detached the audio.

Unable to import videos into library

I'm using the iPhone 5 and want to add movies to it. My iTunes doesn't add videos into its library. Even though I go to File->Add file to library->select the movie, a beep sound plays and nothing happens. So I downloaded the Quick time player. But still the problem persists. I used Total Video Converter to convert the videos to the required format but still its not getting added to the library.
Am I supposed to download an extension to the iTunes to play videos or is there something else that I'm supposed to do?
Please help me with this.

Hi there op_srinath!
I have an article here that can help you sync the information from your computer into your iPhone using iTunes:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
The instructions in this article reference the iPod as the device being synced, but your iPhone can be synced in the exact same way. I also have an article that can help you with some frequently asked questions about video syncing that can help inform you about the process:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
Lastly, if you need to transfer videos from your iPhone into your computer, you will want to reference the following article for instructions:

Can't Add Videos to Library

Greetings:
I've followed the instructions and I can no longer get video into my iTunes Library.
I reformatted them into mp4, tried navigating to them from Add to Library in the File menu, tried dragging and dropping, but nothing happens. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and iPod software. I even trashed iTunes and reinstalled it, but nothing happens.
I had put on a couple of videos when I first got my 5th gen., so I moved them onto my Mac and tried to add them to the iTunes Library and that didn't work either, so I didn't think it's a format problem. I do get the error message that the new videos were't moved because they won't play on my iPod, even though they're in the same format as the ones that do play (MPEG-4). The old files that do play are MPEG-4s but have the suffix m4v. I tried changing the new file suffixes but it didn't help.
Audio files go in fine.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks...

I have the exact same problem. I have several episodes of a series in .avi format. I used Prism to convert them to .mp4 format (I've done this hundreds of times). For some reason iTunes only lets some of the videos into the library. The others just dont show up. iTunes doesnt say i CAN'T add them (i.e. when i try to drag and drop i get a little plus sign and not the restricted symbol), but none the less it won't actually add them. All the files were converted one after the other using the same conversion software, all in the same session.

TRYING to add videos to library, ARGGHH

I cannot seem to add DVD's ( that's a movie, right?) to my iPod classic.
I went through help;
Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
Nothing works, it doesn't grab it. And if I can't add it to the Library I can't go to:
Advanced; Create ipod or iphone version.
So ok, what type is the DVD? right click DVD it says UDF.
I downloaded Freestudio Video to ipod converter 4.2.13, it doesn't take it when I try to Add Files.....
I had made a copy to the desktop, one file, with two subfiles: Audio TS and VideoTS but it won't grab them to add.....
Any comments, this is driving me crazy!

iPods cannot play DVD files. See here for the video formats supported by iPod classic

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!!!!!!!!

Unable to add tunes to library

I have tried to add a few songs to my library so I can put them on my iPod Nano. It doesn't want to add a few songs and I have no idea why. It'll add some tunes but when I went to add two tunes from one band and three tunes from another, it won't do it. Considering these are tunes I want on my iPod, this is kinda ticking me off as I've just spent an hour trying to get these tunes to be where I want them.
I had DL-ed these tunes off of Limewire (as most of my tunes are) and have no problem playing them on winamp (on both my work and home compy). Winamp is the default player on both machines.
What the heck is going on? Why won't it let me put these in my library so I can get them onto my iPod? Is there another way I can get them on my iPod? Assistance on this would be appreciated.

Your iPod is set to automatically sync all songs from your iTunes library only. If you just want to put certain files on there you have to enable manually syncing. Connect your iPod and click the iPod icon on the source list. At the bottom, under options, there is a check box that ask you if you want to manually sync iPod. Check that and click on apply. Now you can just drag your music and sync to your iPod.
