Video Files not importing into iTunes Library.

I have been converting my movie file into mp4 format so i can use them on my iPod video. I converted all of the files and then added their folder to the iTunes Library, but only some fo the videos show up. I have tried to add these files individually, changing their names, even moving them to antoher folder and adding them. What can I do to get these files into the library and on to my iPod?

I wish i knew. It seems to be very random in which videos it doesn't add. Is it too much to ask to watch SNL clips on my iPod?

  • Sony WX7 .mts video files not imported into iPhoto 11

    Apple indicates iLife ’11 supports AVCHD (.mts) files, however, I've been unable to get iPhoto 11 to import video files from the Sony WX7 camera. Photo's are imported properly via both usb and directly from the SD card reader in my Macbook Pro (i7) 2011, however, video files are not.  I've read that iMovie '08 supports Sony AVCHD 2011-model video cameras, but iPhoto 11 appears not to.
    Mac OS X v10.6.7, is fully up to date. Has anybody found a solution?

    Not sure where you are seeing that AVCHD is supported in iPhoto '11 but it is not - use iMovie to import your AVCHD movies - that works for my my Sony DSC-HX5

  • ALAC files not importing into iTunes

    I'm using the latest 12.0.1.26 iTunes on a Dell Studio XPS (with an intel i7 processor and 2 TB SSD drive), which I use to run three Apple Airports dotted around the house and am having a problem playing ALAC files which I've converted from FLAC files bought from HighResAudio.com.
    They play ok with VLC but when I try to add the folder or file into iTunes nothing seems to happen, or if I select 'play with' and pick iTunes, then iTunes starts up ok but the file doesn't appear or play at all.
    I've just started re-recording my cd collection in ALAC format which all play fine when recorded directly into iTunes.
    The problem is with these high resolution files (Mike Oldfield's new Man On The Rocks album) which I bought to try the supposedly 'better than cd/studio' quality sound which were only available as FLAC files. I then converted these with 'free studio audio converter' and as I said, the converted files play fine on VLC.
    Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

    I tried a different converter and also changed the playback preferences -which was down at 44.1kHz- up to 96kHz as I know the hi res files are supposed to be up at this level.
    Not sure if it was one or the other of your suggestions, or both, but it has worked, so many thanks for your quick and effective help!

  • How do I "tag" video files to import into iTunes

    I have created a series of .mov files of English learning words and phrases for an ESL class I teach. Many of my students have iPods. I'd like to convert these files into the .h264 format for the iPod. That's not difficult. But how do I "tag" them so that when students import the files all the info shows up accordingly under album, artist, title, etc.
    Thank you.

    Here are a few
    I've not tried it, but if you enter that info via iTunes, does it not update the file?

  • All of a sudden (video) files added to my iTunes library after a certain date aren't playable on other devices.

    hello!
    All of a sudden I have a weird issue with playing video-files added to my iTunes library after a specific date.
    This is the situation so far:
    I encode the video for iTunes with the same settings for the last 3 years. I know these vids play on all my devices. AppleTV & iPad. All of a sudden videos added to my library after the 8th of september aren't playable on my AppleTV and iPad. I can play them directly in iTunes and by accessing them directly via the finder and quicktime.
    The following errors occur:
    When I pull the video from iTunes on my AppleTV.. the video simply doesn't play.
    When I pull the video from iTunes on my iPad I get a message that the file can't be found.
    When I push the video from iTunes to the AppleTV using airplay I get a message that there has occured an error while connecting to the AirPlay-device "Apple TV". The necesary file could not be found. In addition when the AppleTV is switched off it doesn't turn on doing this, suggesting that there is something missing on my mac itself.
    All the above errors aren't popping up when I choose a video that has been put in my library before the 9th of september. Then everything works as expected.
    This is what I tried:
    Turning off and on home sharing on all devices including the mac.
    Logging in wiht a different apple ID though using the same ID as before.
    I created a new iTunes library and populated with a video that was added after the 8th of september and one that was added before the 9th of september. Surprisingly the older one played and not the newer one.. while they both used the same encoding settings. The new library was locally on my mac as my original library is on a NAS.
    I encode my videos with Quicktime 7 Pro using the following settings:
    H.264 (current frame rate, key-frames:automatic, re-order frames, automatic bitsize)
    Medium Quality
    Multi-pass
    current resolution (which is always 1280 X 720)
    AAC sound
    44.100 kHz
    128kbps
    I'm using the Mountain lion 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7 Mountain lion got updated a few days after 19th of september and iTunes i think as well. Both versions were released after this issue seemed to pop up.
    I also have two video-files encoded on the same day with the same settings that dragged into the iTunes library on the 9th of september. One works.. the other doesn't.
    So I wonder if there is somebody out there that can tell me what might have happened here and how I could fix this issue.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Seraphiel07.
    I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
    Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
    Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
    Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
    All connected through:
    Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
    I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
    All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
    All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
    All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
    My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
    I have:
    1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
    2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
    3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
    4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
    It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
    All comments welcome.

  • A friend gave me a a number of playlists in a wma format. Can't import into itunes library or convert. Any suggestions?

    A friend gave me a a number of playlists in a wma format. Can't import into itunes library or convert. Any suggestions?

    Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html  - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
    All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
    Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert.  Use with Quicktime player.Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv  - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.

  • Why do some AVI files not import into iMovie?

    Some of my AVI video does not import into iMovie. When I try, it gives me a non-specific error message. Is there a way I can import it? Other AVI files import with no problem.

    AVI is a container, not a format; the audio and video in an AVI may use any codec, and some codecs can't be used in Mac OS X. Installing Perian may help.

  • Getting protected wma files to import into itunes

    i have a couple of wma files that are protected and will not import into itunes because of the protected content. is there any way around this?

    If you are able to burn those protected files to an audio CD, then that audio CD will act like any CD that you would purchase in your local store.

  • Videos won't import into iTunes 7

    I want to put some of my own videos onto my new iPod video, but I can't put any videos into iTunes. I've tried dragging and dropping, "import" and "add file". And nothign ever shows up. How am I suppossed to put video into itunes that I don't buy from the iTunes store? Thanks for the help.

    This also happens with me. I have an Intel Core Duo 17", running iTunes 7.1 with the latest Quicktime, and OS 10.4.4. My movies work great in Quicktime, but won't import into iTunes at all. When I try to drop them on my iPod directly, it tells me that my 5th gen iPod can't display video.
    I brought my iPod into work today, and hooked it up to the G5/dual 1.8 tower here, also running iTunes 7, and quicktime (7.1.3 I think?), OS 10.3.9. I was able to drop the videos directly into iTunes, and they showed up fine. I was also able to then put the video on my iPod.
    As for the video, I converted them to .mp4 files with a 3rd party converter from .mpg files.
    Interested to see what the solution is. Glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

  • Movie import into iTunes library

    Hi all,
    I have a very large collection of DVDs - it's one of the first technologies I actually got into early...I'm usually late to the game, so to speak.
    Anyway, given that I'm moving everything to a digital format for use on my plethora of Macs and Apple TVs, I thought I'd use something like HandBrake to rip my discs and import into iTunes.
    Is this is preferrable or common method?  Is there some better way?
    Secondarily, any way to get content info (Get Info stuff) that is similar to what you see when you purchase a movie from iTunes?  I'm thinking about rating stuff, brief plot, etc.
    As always, thanks for your collective genius.

  • Adding video in different quality into iTunes library

    I have the problem with importing my video in different quality (for iPhone 3GS, Full HD and so on) into my iTunes Library.
    Before upgrade of my mac pro 1.1 to Lion 10.7.5. from Snow Leo I was able to drag the whole folder with video files in different quality onto the Itunes windows and iTunes added all formats (M4V with different quality) and assigned it with single movie. Now Itunes addes only one file to its library. So I have to choose in which quality to add file, because it is impossible to add the same file in other quality. It is possible to back this feature back in present configuration?
    Lion 10.7.5 (it is impossible to upgrade to Mountain Lion)
    iTunes 11.0.2
    Thanks in advance,
    Alexander

    some kind of solution: to copy all files to the iTunes Media Folder and to drag and drop them from there pressing OPTION (do not copy - only link)

  • MP3 plays on iPod and WMP but will not import to iTunes library or play with iTunes

    After having this mp3 on my iPod for many years and playing it through PC whilst iPod is connected to laptop, I suddenly cannot play it anymore
    Selecting it and clicking play from iPod library results in nothing happening, playing it as part of a playlist leads to iTunes skipping straight over it.  I have exported the MP3 from iPod to PC and it plays just fine in Windows Media Player.  Tryng to import it into iTunes from PC harddrive results in no error message and no import!
    Track name and file name do not contain any irregular characters or punctuation.  File is clearly not corrupted as works in WMP and track still plays on iPod when not connected to PC.
    I have tried the solution proposed here; https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1645916?start=0&tstart=0 but it doesn't work.  Indeed, it doesn't seem to 'save' my selection when I do it.
    Incredibly frustrating - please tell me someone has a solution? 

    File is clearly not corrupted as works in WMP
    Don't assume that, because in fact iTunes is very finicky about slight MP3 corruption, and often fails where other players succeed.
    Usually, a quick shot from a 3rd party tag cleanup program, as suggested by tt2, will make iTunes happy about the file again.

    In what format did you import the cds?
    I have never had an issue with this.

  • Files not importing into Shake

    We switched over to Open Directory and I've been having issues bringing shots into Shake. When some users make files I can't import them at all into Shake. I try changing the permissions but it still doesn't work. Files appear as green nodes then turn yellow or red.
    Anybody experiencing this?

    Unfortunately that did not work. Some of the video files did not have the ".mov" extension so I added them, yet that did not improve my situation.
    I can't figure it out. I can open the files everywhere else. I can open the video files in Final Cut Pro, the stills in Photoshop. I tried re-exporting the files as new files with different names but nothing is working.
    These files are cursed somehow. So strange.
