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!

    What format are they in?
    What happens when you try?
    Have you tried placing a copy in the Automatically add to iTunes folder?

  • HT1473 It seems like many commercial music CDs won't import into iTunes (copy protection?), so you can only play them from the disc, not your other devices. Am I missing something?

    More and more commercial music CDs won't seem to import into iTunes - they just spin, falter, and spit out. I would think I had a setting wrong except older CDs load with no problem. I'm guessing there's copy protection on the newer ones, which seems unfair if you want to, say, buy a CD that has bonus material not available via iTunes (and then have to buy the regular material again on iTunes). Is there a way around this? An easy fix so I can keep buying CDs when I want to? I know it's a technology that's on the way out, but it's not gone yet.

    Audio CD copy protection is relatively rare. I doubt its use is on the increase as it would be just one more nail in CD's coffin. On the few occasions I've bought CDs that won't rip I've gone straight back to the store for a refund. If the drive is attempting to read at max. speed it might help to force it to read slower (if indeed you have that as an option) and it may help to switch the error correction mode.

  • Videos wonät upload into iTunes

    I've tried everything, videos just won't upload into iTunes,so I can't get them into my iPod,either! Is there some special trick into doing it?
    I've tried dragging it to the Videos,adding it to the Library,dragging it to the Library,adding it to Videos, voodoo,wizadry,curses... everything! It just won't do it. Where's the problem?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Videos must be compatible with Quicktime to be able to be played in iTunes.
    Try opening Quicktime and then open one of the videos you want to add to iTunes in Quicktime. See if it plays in Quicktime?
    What is the file type of the videos you are trying to add (MOV, WMV, etc.)?

  • Why won't my video won't import into iMovie. There is a red ERROR message underneath clip.

    I just imported 40 out of 43 clips of HD video from my JVC HD Everio camera into iMovie '11. It's my first time using either equipment for editing. I selected import all but only 40 of the clips successfully imported. 3 of the clips were not able to be imported but I can still play the clips fine from the import window. The clips all have red error messages underneath them. This is an issue that I've seen posted other places online but it doesn't seem to be resolved. It's very frustrating for me, I've been researching online to try to fix this for hours now. The closest I have come to a solution involved deleting extra 3rd party plugins from my quicktime folder however I don't have a folder named "Quicktime" in my Library. So I don't know what to do. Please help!

    The error message appears under video clips already imported into iMovie. Like in this screenshot http://km.support.apple.com/resources/sites/APPLE/content/live/VIDEOS/0/VI57/en_ US/imovie-start-poster.jpg on my mac out of the 6 clips shown per row, only 5 of them have the word "imported" underneath them in white letters and then one of the clips has the word "error" underneath it.
    I don't think it's a corrupted file because yeah I can play the three clips just fine. The page that I read that had that fix in it (deleted plugins) was here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1893021?start=0&tstart=0 The correct answer is near the bottom of the page and was posted by iphonejunky. Maybe the fix would be that simple but like I said, I can't find a folder named quicktime in my library. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what.
    I don't think I have Flip4Mac installed because I never consciously installed it. I use VLC for playing most video. The clips imported are all .mov

  • Apple store videos won't import into Video iPod

    I spent about 19 hours over the last few days talking with mac support phone people, my own Mac repair guy, and the "geniuses" at the local Apple store, and no-one seems to know why I can't get the tv episode I downloaded from the Apple store website to go onto my new video iPod. The Apple store "genius" I first talked to noticed I had an iPod programmed to work in Windows, even though I have a G4, running 10.4.3, with the newest versions of iPhoto, Quicktime, and iTunes, and told the guy that info when I ordered the thing in October. The "genius" did a system restore, and loaded a couple of music videos, which I could view.
    When I synced it up to my computer, I got the dialog box asking if I wanted to associate the iPod with my computer instead of the one at the store. I did, and I lost the ability to import videos. When I clicked on the iPod icon at the bottom of the iTunes page to see preferences, both video and photo buttons were missing. Calls up to the 2nd level of iTunes support and Desktop support failed to restore it, even after I did an archive install of Tiger. I finally installed Tiger on another internal drive (it had Panther), updated everything, and when I boot from that drive, I see the video and photo buttons in the iPod preferences. After making my other drive point to my iTunes library on the first hard-drive, I re-downloaded all of my music files to the iPod, but it still won't import the tv show (it also no longer allows me to import my podcasts). Apple support personnel recommended I exchange the iPod for another one, but the folks at the local Apple store wouldn't let me, even though I have a case number (#56524834, in case any Apple monitors want to help out). I've lost so much time and have become so frustrated (I could have watched the show on my Mac 19 times by now; it does play on the computer, so I know the file works) that I'm thinking of dumping my Apple stock. After all, if the customer service is this lousy for a guy who's always used Macs, I think the company is going to lose ground to other companies. Any ideas on how I can get the videos into my iPod (and regain the ability to import podcasts)? thanks, in advance!

    But it was the actual MP4 file downloaded from Apple's own website, so I doubt that it was encoded incorrectly. I think it's faulty software, and I'm waiting for Apple to release a patch to fix it. But I don't expect they'll admit it. On the other hand, I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with the fact that my iPod was originally encoded to work on PCs.
    I'm not an expert but my understanding is that the files are supposed to be independent of the HD here. If you were able to load any files to the iPod before this problem, then I don't see why HD format should be a problem in this one particular case.
    As to the file being from Apple's own web site, I don't consider that a guarantee that mistakes won't be made. However, as a commercial ($$$) enterprise, I consider their product in a "professional" light and hold them to a higher standard than I would others. The file I previosuly mentioned was, strangely enough, a tutorial on podcasting. It is from a series dealing with Apple products (like Aperture) and techniques (like exporting an iPod compatible file from iMovie or batch procissing in QT using Automator) so I assumed the authors are either Apple Techs or Apple "Specialists." That is why I was surprised when one of the podcasts would not sync.
    In any case, the conversion of media to iPod compatible format and podcasting is in what... a 60-75 day infancy. So I do expect there will be problems. Especially based on the mistakes I've made in performing any own conversions and initial podcasting test of a public domain (old 1936 Republic "Saturday" matinee movie) Ray "Crash" Corrigan serial. Software, techniques, and workflows simply aren't "perfected" at this point, so I tend to try and learn from the mistakes -- both my own and others.
    On the other hand, however, it might be a god idea to post a list of "problem" podcast files to see if these problems are actually file related, download related, or unique to individual iPods. In any case, best of luck to you.

  • Fox digital copy movie won't import into Itunes.

    I have Itunes version 11.0.2 and I am trying to import a Fox digital copy of a movie into Itunes, however every time I double click to import I receive the error message that it "requires Itunes version 7.6.2 or newer" and requests that I update Itunes.  Is there a way to import using digital copy (I own the disk and have the serial number for transfer) or is the only way to do this to rip the dvd the old fashioned way?  I wanted to use digital copy for convenience but, if it won't work I can use the other method.

    Ah, found out that I should not use the pop up window from the disc.  Instead, opened Itunes, selected the movie disc, entered the code to redeem and then it copied the movie.

  • Old playlists won't import into iTunes 9

    I have upgraded to Version 9. Somehow all my playlists, (about 5 years worth) are in a file titled "Previous Playlist Libraries" in the section of my HD under users> my name> music> iTunes along with my other iTunes stuff.
    I have tried several times to use the procedure in Article HT1451, "How to recreate your iTunes library and playlists". This put everything in my Version 9 iTunes that was in my older Version 8 iTunes except these Playlists.
    I also tried to add them to my iTunes 9 using "Add to Library" under File and Library>Import Playlist under File. I receive an error message reading "the file does not appear to be a valid exported file"
    The icon for each of these unmovable playlist files is a sheet of paper with a turned down corner and a music note on it. Get Info calls these files an "iTunes Database File".
    How can I get these these playlists into Version 9?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Sorry for all the trouble...it looks like I may have a corrupted external hard drive...Realized there are some backup folders on the drive that are corrupted and won't open. Thinking this may have had an effect on some of the music files, more than likely.
    These were the steps that I have tried:
    *Drag & drop
    *File/add to library
    *De-authorizing all computers; re-authorizing computer
    *Giving read/write permissions from music folder and everything inside
    *Rebooting
    *Deleting iTunes; Reinstalling and attempting to import music
    *Have tried on both a G4 Tower & MacBook Pro
    *Setting up a new member to my mac, with full administrative rights
    For the albums that I have the physical CD, it will let me import those (good news). However, for those albums that I've downloaded from iTunes, I obviously don't have a back-up method to import those from.
    So, here's to repurchasing music.

  • Photoshop video won't import into after effects

    Hello,
    I've been trying to import a .psd file that has video into After Effects CC and I'm getting an error message:
    After Effects error: Problem with Photoshop document "xxxx". Quicktime is not installed or is too old of a version.
    This doesn't make sense as I'm up to date with all my software. I've been watching tutorials showing that it is possible although apparently not for me!
    I'm on a Late 2012 iMac and running OS X 10.9.3. I'm also running CC for both applications. I have Quicktime Player 10.3 and Quicktime Player 7.
    Thank you for taking the time reading this! I really hope someone can help me.

    Mostly it's because I'm way more familiar with PS as a painting tool and some efx I can't create in AE (or it'll take me forever to figure it out). I was hoping to basically get down what's in my head with PS then bring it into AE but have the option of going back into PS if need be.
    I should explain that my "day job" is painting background colour keys for animation and a traditional painter and though I'm not an animator, I hope to incorporate the skills I have with After Effects. It just seemed a more straight forward way I guess.
    Thanks for asking Trevor!

    It will ask for your password. Type it in (but remember it won't show it to you) and hit return.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • How do you import music videos from a dvd into iTunes?

    I have got a music cd and includs a music dvd. I want the music videos to be imported into iTunes so I can watch them on my iPod touch. How do I do this?

    I had a friend who got a dual-format music album on DVD of the band Chicago for his birthday. He didn't have a system that could play the remixed 5.1 surround sound version on the DVD, but he could play it back in his Mac OS X on the DVD player in good old stereo. However, he wanted a copy he could play in his car CD player.
    So I used Audio Hijack to record the output of the DVD played back as stereo through the Apple DVD player in Mac OS X. I had Audio Hijacj write the output to the hard drive as AIFF 16-bit 44.1KHz stereo. Then I used iTunes to burn it to a CD.
    Of course it took 45 minutes to make a recording from a 45-minute audio program; it happened in real-time.
    (This was all perfectly legal because he owns the DVD and he's using the CD recording as a backup audio copy for his own personal use--basically like ripping a CD you own for use in your iPod).
    I did an a/b comparison between the original DVD and the AIFF recording I had generated, and I was pleasantly surprised by its good quality.
    Since then I've been an Audio Hijack fan.

  • M4p's (iTunes) won't import into Logic

    The music supervisor for a film I'm working on suggested that I download some specific tracks from iTunes and lay them up against picture (as temp only) to give me an idea of the the mood he wants for various scenes. But wouldn't ya know, iTunes files are .m4p's and won't import into Logic. Or will they? Am I missing something?
    (And BTW, using the "Convert Selection to WAV" in iTunes doesn't work for m4p files -- an error message comes up saying "_____ cannot be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats.")

    hello...
    I've had success importing 2 ways;
    right click/ctrl-click song in iTunes:convert to mP3; import
    the best solution has been to create an audio track and import directly into the track. The 'import' on the main menu does not seem to import what the audio track will import. I ran into this same issue for a while until I tried the second option and had no problem.
    Also...burn the track onto an audio cd then import the audio track from the cd (no longer an mp4a)
