Why can't I add videos to iTunes 11

Hello, First off thanks for looking. I attempted to add some of the tons of video I have on a back up HD to my library for easy access. 99% of it was shot with an iPhone yet when I try to add it nothing happens. I am trying file/add to library/locating the exact clip/open and nothing happens. I even attempted dragging and dropping into the home movie section and it won't allow me. I can add the MP4 files but the .MOV files just won't let me. I have quicktime installed and am using a Macbook with the latest version of Lion and iTunes 11. I rebooted of course but have run out of ideas and googling has gotten me nowhere.
Does anyone have a clue whats going on here? Frustrated
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok thanks. Would you recomend I creat a iPhoto folder and drag them all in and then import? What is the procedure for adding files from iPhoto?

Why can't I add videos to iTunes

I have heard of this problem from a number of people.
I have the newest version of iTunes and no matter what format I convert my videos to, they just will not appear ANYWHERE in my iTunes, and I've checked the Home Video's tab.
Starting to get really frustrated with this now as I'm set for a long journey fairly soon and was hoping to add a film and a few tv programs on my iPad.
Please help!

After hours trying to research why this occurred, the fix for me was to be sure the itunes app is directed to the correct drive or path! It seems that with the updates, it disconnected the path to the itunes library. Try and make sure the path to your library is correct. Once done, my problems were sovled!!
iTunes>preferences> advanced > itunes Media Folder Location > and either reset it or change it to the correct location

Why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

You can only purchase what the itunes store in your country sells.
The owners of the distribution rights of music/movies/etc. must allow itunes to sell their content. Unless and until Apple is able to reach an agreement with these companies, then they will not be able to provide.

Why can't I add videos to my iPod touch 4th gen?

I have updated my 4th gen iPod touch to the most recent iOS, 6.1.2. I want to put videos in it. I have already converted my videos to the appropriate format and put them in iTunes. But when I drag the icon of the video to the iPod touch icon, it won't work. On the other hand, when I do the same to the iPod classic, it works like a charm. How come I can't add videos to my 4th gen iPod touch? HELP!

I would try placing the movies in the iTunes movie library and then using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the advanced tab of iTunes. It is likely that the format is not compatible with the iPod. There are many variations in the mp4 format and all are not compatible the iPod.

Why can't i add mp4 to itunes?

On my mac (OSX 10.7.5) I'm running iTunes 11.0.1 and attempting to add to my iTunes library an mp4 video created by others. The mp4 file opens fine in QuickTime 10.1. In iTunes I select add to library, select the file, and receive no error message. But nothing happens. I've checked each of the options in my Movies library, and searched my entire library, with no luck. I don't see that the file was added.
I understand that iTunes does not accept some mp4 files, but it's my understanding the criteria is whether or not QuickTime can handle the file. Since QuickTime displays the video, I would assume iTunes would accept the file. Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!

I had the same issue. In my case the solution was simple. On top iTunes (in my case 11.4) has five selections: unwatched, movies, genres, home videos and list. I alway had movies selected, not know it would only show watched videos. Select the pane "unwatched" and you will see all the movies you have added. Selecting "list" will show all - watched and unwatched videos. For some reason have never paid attention to these selections. However, I still think just displaying watched movies under a pane called "movies" is not very intuitive.

Why can't I drag videos from iTunes to iPod?

For the last year I've had no trouble dragging a video-podcast from iTunes Mac to the iPod. Suddenly it stopped when I installed Lion (not Mountain Lion). Other podcasts still drag fine. Any ideas? Thank you. Don

Even though the videos may be in an iTunes friendly format, they may not be optimized for playback on your iPod, which is why you are receiving this message.
Try using iTunes built in converter to convert the video to an even more iPod friendly format. To do this, highlight the video in iTunes and choose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your iPod.

Why can't I add HD videos to my iPod touch?

So I recently bought an iPod touch, and I haven't had trouble with it until now. I downloaded a free TV show extra thing and it's in HD & SD, and it downloaded fine and everything. But when I tried to add it to my iPod, a popup comes up with the message: "Blah blah blah" was not copied to the iPod "Michaela's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
Why? I tried to do the "Advanced Settings" and convert it, but the convert option is grayed out and I can't choose it. I thought the iPod touch could play HD (and I do have another HD video on it currently), so why can't I add this new HD/SD video to my iPod? And I know there's enough space because I have 24.6 GB free space.

It's the screen format see below.
The iPad and iPhone 4 can play High Definition (HD) content and Standard Definition (SD) content. iPods and the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS can play Standard Definition (SD) content. To find what video formats are supported, see the Tech Specs page, click your device's product family, and then your specific model. All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.

Why can't I add playlist on my old iPhone iTunes on my computer? Can add it on my phone manually but I need to do it on the computer..

Why can't I add playlist on my old iPhone iTunes on my computer? Can add it on my phone manually but I need to do it on the computer.
This is an old iPhone that I am only using as an Ipod. It is an Iphone 3GS and I now have an iPhone 4S.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

Kristy,
Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks? To check, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes locate it's audibooks tab and make sure it is set to them.

Why can't I connect to the itunes store on my windows 7 64 bit pc?

perfect, thanks.
When I try to connect to the itunes store, it says 'accessing itunes store' and just hangs there.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
