Unable to import some MP3 audi files

Hi,
I have a number of MP3 files that I want to add to my iTunes library. Most of them are added happily but a couple simply won't !
Am I missing something ?
TIA

check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
any help ?

Unable to import some MP3s

Hello -- I am sure I am not the first to have this problem, but I can't find the answer, either.
Problem: I have collections of old radio programs in MP3 format that I download from an FTP site. I save to a folder and use "Add File to Library" to import the files into iTunes.
Most of the files import just fine, but some don't. There is no error message -- they just don't show up in iTunes.
The files work fine in other players.
Is there some fix I can apply to the files (dozens) that would make iTunes able to import them properly?
Thanks!

Now that I FINALLY got my account created to post... I'm having this same problem, but I do not know how to check the file extension. It's showing it's an mp3 file in the folder and it plays just fine in windows media player, but I can't add it in my iTunes library. It's driving me nuts. Is it perhaps because it's such a large file? They're about 30,000 KB each (audio book).

Unable to import package. This file is not a Business Components XML file

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 9.0.3(Build 1325) and trying to extend a VO. Project > Import Business Components and select the VO, AM or EO xml because Sourcing Negotiation creation does not have a server.xml and I am getting the following message "Unable to import package. This file is not a Business Components XML file.". Should I make something else to enable extension?? Does a patch required to make extensions. Any help would be appreciated.

What I know is that server.xml is not a must. This is the easiest way to import appropriate xml files. My question is, when I am trying to Project>Import Business Components > xxxVO.xml I am getting the above error although the xxxVO.xml is a Business Component. I wanna know that should some patch be applied to Jdeveloper (Build 1325)?? (by the way at first I tried with Build 1312 and the same error raised)

Can't import some MP3s into Centrale

$Can't import some MP3s into Centrale?I've been using Centrale with my X-Fi for a couple of years and have managed to tag and import 000s of mp3s wothout problem. I recently downloaded 2 series of podcasts from Absoluteradio and despite all attempts, can't import them.
I've double checked the tags - no problem. I can drag the podcasts into Centrale and transfer them directly onto the X-Fi and they play fine.
Whenever I try importing them to the library, all that happens is that the message 'transferring to library' flashes up at the bottom of the Centrale window and the counter at the bottom right very quickly counts up from of 30, 2 of 30 etc.. But the?author, album or tracks never actually get imported.
Any idea what could be different about these podcasts? I've checked properties to make sure they're not protected.
If anyone would like to help me diagnose this, the podcasts are at www.absoluteradio.co.uk - examples are the Baddiel & Skinner and Dave Gorman series.
Thanks
David

Try to play a few of them in another player to verify that they are good MP3s. If so, treat them with a tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator, and then iTunes will usually accept them.

Iphoto unable to import some jpeg files... why???

Am trying to import some photos from a friend. They are jpeg format on a CD which was created at the photo developing lab when he got his films developed. Have tried importing them one at a time, all at once, by copying, by "adding", by dragging... I'm out of ideas. I keep getting a message that says the files are either "unrecognized file type" or "may not contain valid data." However, I can open them in Preview, in photo editing software, etc. Any ideas?

Hi red-doc,
I am not sure why you can't import them. Why don't you open them all in Preview and then save them. Make sure the extension is added to the file name when saved. Next try importing them.

Itunes refuses to import some mp3 files.

Hi,
Can someone please advise. I have an album of MP3 tracks. For some reason Itunes refuses to import all but 2 of the songs on the ablum. I have the files on the hard drive in my music folder which should be auto sync to Itunes. This does not happen with these mp3's. Also if I try to do it manually nothing happens. Any suggestions?
P.s I am using the latest version of Itunes and the MP3's play fine with media player etc.

Yeah, what stubchain said. If they play in WMP, then you've run into the bug where iTUnes can't read the MP3 tags.
iTunes has problems with v2.4 ID3 tags.
http://www.id3.org/iTunes
iTunes also has a problem with v2.2 tags and artwork/beats per minutes tags on the same song.
Try setting them to v1 in another program and then see if iTunes can read them.
Then once iTnues can read tehm, I would convert them to v2.3 tags, which seem to be the most stable & have the best features.

Unable to Import some RAW files...

I use Lightroom 4.
I just went to import a bunch of RAW files from my computer - the images I want appear, but they are "shadowed" and aren't selectable. The Folder panel in the import window states that the folder/s I've selected contain 0 bytes (aka NO photos) even though it does show them in a "shadowy + un-clickable" state, yet when I go into the same folder through Finder they ARE there! I'm a little frustrated and just want to be able to get on with editing my photos!!
HELP!

If your description is of the import window, I suspect the images in question are already in your catalog.

Bug: LR3 unable to import some images from catalog

I've apparently encountered an odd bug in Lightroom that is preventing the "Import from Catalog..." feature from working on some files, or more specifically, one directory. I'm trying to merge images from my laptop catalog to my desktop catalog (e.g. Y:\LaptopPictures to F:\SourcePictures). When I attempted to import images from 2009 and 2010 the 2009 images imported correctly, but the 2010 images triggered an error: "Lightroom was unable to copy the files for these images to the folder you selected. \\Users\me\Pictures\2010\...". Note that the path "\\Users\me\Pictures\2010..." does not match the source or destination locations for the catalog import. Also, during the import the 2010 images were not correctly identified as duplicates.
Once all of the 2009 images were imported, an attempt to re-import the catalog causes the "File Handling:" option to omit the "copy" option, only giving me the "add without moving" and "don't import new photos" options.
It would appear that Lightroom is somehow getting confused for images dated 2010, perhaps related to a previous import where I accidentally imported pictures into \\Users\me\Pictures (instead of my media drive). Finally I tried a straight import of the images, and Lightroom was able to correctly identify duplicates and import the images, and then a subsequent import from catalog appears to have successfully copied over ratings and keywords. So, it's not catastrophic, but it's still an extremely annoying issue.
Has anyone seen an issue like this before? Is there some magical hidden email address for submitting Lightroom bugs?

This doesn't appear to be a network issue since: a) I hadn't encountered this problem using network-mapped drives in Lightroom before, and b) the process works for other files outside of 2010. In general, Lightroom has performed wonderfully over the network, with a gigabit ethernet connection far outperforming an external drive. To confirm my hypothesis, I did copy the entire Lightroom catalog over to the destination machine, and I saw exactly the same problem. Interestingly, I did another test where I exported a 2010 image to a new catalog, and it was able to import correctly, so it's possible that there is something going on with the "working" catalog that is confusing Lightroom on my desktop. Although these workarounds help, the bug remains the same: importing from one catalog to another is not working on a subset of files for some unknown reason. Of course, the end result of this will most likely not be Adobe finding a fix for the bug, but instead will be me spending several hours re-exporting and re-importing and manually cleaning up metadata and duplicates, which is disappointing.

Unable to import/preview any video file using Lightroom 5/5.2

Hi,
I am a fairly new user to Lightroom (around 4 months), and have been fascinated by the capabilities of this software when it comes to photos. From the start, I used to notice (but chose to ignore) that lightroom would not be able to import any of my video files successfully (all in supported formats such as avi, mov, mp4, usually mov from my Nikon DSLR). Recently, I have started digging around to find a solution for this and fix this issue of not being able to preview or import any video file. I have gone through most of the related posts around the interwebs about this (including installing QuickTime, checking my AntiVirus, checking specific processes whether they are running or not). As a last attempt to resolve this, I am hoping to get some expert help on this form. As a sample of the error message which I get to see everytime is attached below. Also given below is my system info. I can provide further debugging information if required, but I really, desperately want this to work and be able to import videos. Thanks a bunch!

Unable to import exported mbox mail files

I have had nothing but problems since I installed Lion.
So, I finally had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Lion.
Great, Lion works, but I cannot import my mail. I exported all of my emails using the menu option in Mac mail.
When I try to import it, it doesn't recognize the mbox files so I have to import Apple mail files.
Then, when I do the import, I get a message saying that only some of my mail could be imported and that it is in a mailbox called Import.
However, this mailbox isn't created and none of my mail gets imported.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Unfotunately, the problem seems to have been a system configuration problem.
When I reinstalled Lion, I imported a Time Machine backup.
Since then, I've done another reinstall and have just set everything up from scratch. Now I have no problems importing the mbox files.

I am unable to import some of my music bought in itunes

I have an issue, when i tried to import my music which i retreived some of it did not import and some of it only imported parts of albums can anyone advise me please?

That won't work. Your music must remain in the iTunes library.
If I transferred music in from another drive onto my mac, and put it in the music folder under my account, does it put the music in another folder then and have duplicate copies? I don't need music twice and if it is then I'll remove the original copies I put on the computer or will that remove both if it is copying them?
