Using Media Browser - Can't Import Songs

I'm trying to use the media browser to import a song from iTunes. It is an aiff file and it is unprotected for sure. When I drag and drop it on to the timeline, however, nothing loads. What should I do?

since the file is okay, I'd give these steps a try just to see if they fix this "oddball" prob:

  • How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?

    How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?
    iTune doesn't seem to be able to get this done...

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. They will all transfer songs but if I recall, only iPodCopy also does videos.

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

    sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - if you would like help then you will need to provide more information than 'can't import' e.g. how are trying to sync content and what happens when you do it ?
    You have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and your phone appears in it when it's connected to your computer ? If not then see if this troubleshooting page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    You should be able to sync music and films/TV programmes by selecting your phone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC) and then using the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your content
    Is that how you are trying to do it and it's not working ?
    If you haven't synced your phone to that computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How can I import songs that are protected wma

    how can I import songs that are protected wma?

    Sorry, but you can't. iTunes can neither import nor play any protected Windows Media content. You'll have to ask the source of your tracks how to get them unprotected, if such a service is offered.
    Regards.

  • How can I import songs which are filed basis one album/compilation as one folder?

    How can I import songs which are filed basis one album/compilation as one folder?
    i can drag and drop one folder which is a proper album into itunes under playlist. if i drag and drop two proper albums into itunes it is also ok but if itunes does not know my own compliations and i drag and rop my 3000 folders in one shot into itunes i get only one playlist containing all songs.
    pleased to hear if anybody know how i can avoid to do 3000 times drag and drop a folder into itunes.
    rgds, alexander

    Before you begin the import, edit the properties of the tracks to set the Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a Compilation to Yes.
    For more info. see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • Can I import songs downloaded from Wallmart & other sites?

    I have music I downloaded from Wallmart & other sites. Can these be imported into iTunes & then in the iPod?
    Thanks you,
    Howieb

    You can't import songs downloaded from Walmart music service. They are copy protected (DRM) wma files and both itunes and the ipod do not support that. You would need to burn those songs to a music CD and then reimport the CD via itunes or another ripper encoder.
    There is no direct way of doing that as far as I know.

  • Can I import songs from two different Macs using home sharing?

    I have two MacBooks and a IMAC G5.
    I set up home sharing but can't seem to import songs from PC one to another.
    I was able to do it but now 2 of my PCs are using Yosemite.
    I want to move my music from, Macbook, to iPAD, to iPhone to iPOD.
    Any help with this will be appreciated
    Thanks
    Chuck

    You can't use home sharing to put music on your mobile devices from your iTunes library, you will need to sync them.

  • Can't import songs using home sharing

    Just bought a new macbook pro laptop, and I can't import my music library from my iMac using home sharing.
    The library shows up as shared, but I can't drag any music into the library on my laptop.
    Help would be greatly appreciated because I'm extremely frustrated.

    I am curious as well. I also just bought a MacBook Air to use in addition to my iMac. I just made some purchases on iTunes and homesharing only allows you to stream, not physically sync the media back and forth, which is what I want.
    This is going to be really annoying..

  • TS2972 I just updated all of our computers to itunes 11 and now when we try to use our home sharing, we can't import songs.  What happened to the easily located "import song" feature?  I wish now that I wouldn't have updated to the new itunes 11.

    I recently updated all of the computers in the house to itunes 11.  Now when we try to import songs from homesharing, we are unable to.  What happened to the conveniently located "import song" button on the old version of itunes.  Please help an old mother out please!

    diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
    solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
    1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
    2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
    3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
    4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
    5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

  • Totally lost with iTunes 11 . . . . can't import songs from my Mac etc.?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion a couple of months ago and have just opened iTunes 11.
    I seem to have a handful of items there but cannot remember installing them.
    I have tried importing tunes from my computer by going to File>Add to Library and also dragging and dropping but nothing seems to happen.
    I have also read that you can get the old iTunes look back by clicking the button at the top left of the interface and selecting as appropriate but the only button seems to be the one labeled "Music" by default which has nothing useful underneath it.
    These are 3 of the rather useless layouts I can access.
    Is there something wrong with my iTunes installation or what am I doing wrong?

    It appears that one of the reasons I could not import songs is because iTunes 11 only seems to recognise .mp3 or .aac
    I had been trying to import .caf and .aif
    The old version used to recognise most audio file types and would also convert mot types to another ........... so long as they were .mp3, .aif or .caf

  • ITunes library not included in media browser, can't share with iLife apps

    My iTunes library is no longer included in my media browser previews in other iWork and iLife applications. Not sure when it disappeared, but I know it used to be there! Only recent changes I can think of are I recently migrated all data and accounts on my old iMac to the new iMac using Migration Assistant and I also recently changed the location of the iTunes library from an external drive back to the internal drive. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on here?
    Your help is much appreciated!

    Sorry to update the status, but I've also noticed that my iPhoto, iMovie and Aperture libraries are not being shared in the media browser either. I'm thinking OS X is looking in the wrong place for these libraries as a result of the Migration to the new Mac for some reason, but I really don't know. Any help?

  • Can't import songs from CD

    I can't import the songs from Ryan Shupes Dream Big Album. I-Tunes can't find the songs on my CD. If I transfer the song files onto my computer and then try to import them I-Tunes tell me I am not authorized to import them and that if I have the CD I should use it to copy from. Any ideas?

    I just checked out the description of the CD on amazon.com. It's copy protected which means it is crippled and you may not be able to copy it using iTunes. I would suggest that you return it to the retailer from whom you purchased it, politely explaining why and then right an equally polite letter to the record label. But that's just my opinion.

  • BUG? Keynote media browser can't see edited photos.

    Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
    After cropping a photo in Camera Roll within "Photos" I am unable to insert the edited photo
    in Keynote or Pages via the Media Browser.
    The built-in MEDIA browser, inserts the unedited photos in Keynote or Pages for iPad.
    Of course, I can  "copy" the eidted photo in "Photos", and then paste into Keynote. or Pages, but
    how can I force the Keynote Media browser to see the updated photo and not revert to the original?
    Regards

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Inserting several pictures into MS Word at once without using Media Browser

    In Microsoft Word 2011, we can either "insert picture from file" or "insert from photo (media) browser". For users who do not have pictures stored in iPhoto or Photobooth, we are forced to use "insert picture from file" method,
    which only allows for one picture to be added at a time. How can I add more than one picture at a time?

    It is not clear what alternative you are wanting besides those two options, but you might add a smart folder somewhere that filters by kind "image" which would let you insert image from file that is sort of like a photo browser.
    Alternatively there is a very old tip (like 2008) in
    this Mac OSX Hints thread that says you should be able to add folders to the media browser by dragging them from the finder into the media browser window. I have no idea if this still works.
