When I add m3u files to itunes it crashes mac

When i add m3u files to itunes 11 it crashes and i'm forced to force quit. Would realy appreciate help as i have lots of files to add and some folders contain m3u files as well as mp3 and mp4 files.

Well, you can send a report to Apple and ask them to fix iTunes. Then sit back and wait... and wait... and wait, and maybe in a version or two they will look at the issue (or maybe not) because .m3u isn't something in daily use with iTunes so it probably isn't a high priority (posts by only 3 people in almost 2 months). Or you can remove the m3u files or look at them more closely and see if there is something about them causing this. I use an old iTunes (version 7.5) and adding .m3u is annoying but not calamatous so maybe the issue is something new. It usually is just a file pointing to the files I just added anyway so if I did so by dragging to a playlist it can generate duplicates. If I catch onto them first I trash them.

Unable to add mp3 files to iTunes 10.3.1.55 (Windows 7)

Issue: iTunes and Windows explorer crash (freeze, locks up, stops working) when I add mp3's to iTunes. I am using the drag and drop method but have also tried the File>Add File... option. Same result.
After this occurs, I have to open the Task Manager, stop iTunes and explorer.exe and restart the applications. iTunes becomes completley frozen and Windows explorer becomes handicapped.
This issue relates specifically to *.mp3 files. Am able to add other media types without any problem (i.e. *.wav files, video, etc.).
Confirmed file extension is *.mp3 (not mpeg)
Removed an existing, stable file from iTunes library and tried to import it again - same issue. Does not appear to be file corruption problem.
Have confirmed file ownership and modification permissions are set to full control, etc. in Windows
Removed and re-installed fresh version of iTunes. No change.
iTunes 10.3.1.55
Windows 7 (32 Bit, 3 GB RAM, Dual Core 2.6 ghz) [Stable PC]
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Actually it's a good question ... I have not done it before manually. If the folder exists does it mean that I have done it before?
The folder is completely empty. I reconfirmed that I have full-control persmissions on all folders below my username ...
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ [Vista machine]
I have restricted access to the C:\User folder

Can't add m4a files in itunes

When I try to add m4a files in itunes it did not add it. Please help how can I add m4a files in itunes.

Further info: my housemate just drop-boxed (mac to mac) a few of his albums that work fine in his iTunes and the same thing, they'll show in a playlist with their correct details but not in the main library. iTunes is definitely processing after I add them, and they are definitely not corrupt (shown MP3 scan +repair) - I've attached a couple of pictures to clarify.
Please help! I'm a bit OCB about my music being organised correctly I'll admit!

How to add music/files to itunes?

I reanctly found my old music on a flash drive. I have been trying to add the files to itunes, but it is not working. I am going through the normal procedure, bu adding files to libary, but nothing is happening... Would be great if someone could give me some advice! Beth

Beth,
When iTunes encounters a file that is not compatible it "errors silently," which looks to the user exactly like "nothing is happening." So I'm guessing that the files you found are either in a format not compatible with iTunes, or else are corrupted, more likely the former.
Do they play OK in another player, such as QuickTime or VLC?

Importing m3u files in iTunes alters song name, how can I fix it?

When I import an m3u file into iTunes, that refers to music that already exists in my library, it alters the "Name" of the song to be in the format "Track Number - Name" until I double click the song. Then iTunes refreshes the "Name" information from the file system and fixes it inside iTunes. This is fine, but the playlist has over 2000 songs in it and I don't want to spend the weekend clicking through all of them.
Is there some way to automatically refresh all of the songs' "Name" data from the file system?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't really do what I'm looking for. If I select multiple files, right click, and select Get Info, it just shows me the values that are in common for those files. For example, if I do it for a single artist, I see the artist name, but everything else is blank.
It does not force a synchronization of the data in iTunes with the MP3 metadata in the file. However, if I play each file in iTunes individually, iTunes will update the "Name" with the actual information in the ID3 tag. Unfortunately, I don't have time to play all 2000+ files.

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

Why can't I add mp3 files to itunes?

I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 I've been able to add mp3 files to iTunes by going to file-->add folder to library-->and selecting My Music. I have 5,000+ mp3 files in that folder that USED to play fine on itunes, but they don't show up! I can still play a song by double clicking, but it doesn't stay in my iTunes library. Any ideas? Or is this just a really annoying bug?

I'm having this problem too. Not with all mp3 files, just some. But this particular file I can't even double click to listen.......
Hope you get a reply!

I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

Please give us more specific information -
What make/model camcorder are you using?
Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video? Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder? Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

I can't add music files to iTunes

Since 10.4 I can't add music files to iTunes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
iTunes seems to scan and add them in gray, but fails to add the files to iTunes.
My exact problem is described over here: http://www.betalogue.com/2011/07/25/itunes104-addingfiles/
Any ideas?

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
Go ▹ Computer
from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section?

How do I add media files to iTunes when my iTunes library file is out of date?

My 2007 iMac died. My last backup was done 7 months ago. My iTunes media folder resides on an external drive, so all of my iTunes media files are unaffected, but when I set up my new 2012 Mac Mini using my last backup, my iTunes library file will be 7 months behind. In the past 7 months, I have added around 2,000 new media files to iTunes. So my question is this: what is the best way to add those 2,000 files into iTunes? Is it as simple as drag-and-drop? They are already in the iTunes media folder, I just need to tell iTunes they exist. Thanks for any help!

File > Add to library and select /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder.
Anything in that folder not showing in iTunes library will get added.

When I add a file already on my computer to the iTunes Library, why does it only copy over the first 30 characters of the title?

I noticed that when I tried importing songs to iTunes (unprotected) either via "Add File to Library" or "Automatically add to iTunes", only the first 30 characters of the song title is copied over to iTunes. Is there a way to change this? Is this a default setting?
Thanks!

Just a guess about something to look at - check the color settings in your After Effects project. If you increase the bit depth to 16 or 32 bits per channel and check your color management settings, you may have a better result. I'm a bit clueless about the various options under Color Settings, but maybe you will hit upon something that works.

ITunes no longer plays automatically when you add mp3 files to the library

Since the latest version of iTunes (8) it no longer automatically plays a song when you double-click the mp3 icon outside of iTunes. Let's say I've just downloaded a mp3 file to my desktop. When I double-click the file icon to get it to play in iTunes the mp3 file copies into iTunes but then sits there waiting for me to click Play. This never used to do this - I keep looking through the settings but I know I've not changed any of them, and I can't find anything to fix it either! please help!

There are a number of options that were in iTunes 7 that have been removed in version 8. Some of them can be set by using Terminal commands on a Mac (the play on import is one of them.). See this post for details: iTunes 8 for Mac - Preferences
TinkerTool also has a tab for setting iTunes 8 options in Leopard: TinkerTool
