Why won't ITunes 10.5 allow me to import m4v's anymore?

Before my computer crashed and was set back to factory settings, I had an older version of Itunes, 7 I think. I regularly converted videos to m4v files that I could then drag and drop into Itunes playlists or a playlist on my IPod. After the crash/repair, I installed Itunes 10.5, but now I cannot import m4v files. ITunes gives the error message "some files, including "(file name)" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod". By "some", it means "none". I'm doing nothing different than I previously did. Why won't the files go to ITunes or my IPod anymore? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am having the same problem with a a new iMac running Mountain Lion.
However, I was able to add a .m4v just fine. Could it be that iTunes no long accepts .mov's?! Ridiculous!

Why won't iTunes for PC allow me to sync with my iPod touch?

I have songs on iTunes on my old PC and on my newer Macbook Pro. I synced the songs form the Mac onto my new iPod Touch, but iTunes will not let me sync the songs from the PC, saying only one computer at a time can have an iTunes account. It will only let me transfer the PC songs to the iPod if it erases all the songs already there form the Mac. How can I get my songs from the PC over to the iPod? Thanks.

HT1338 Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to ios 5?

Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to a later version?

First, confirm that you really do have an iPhone 3GS and not a 3G:

If you really do have a 3GS, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7, on your computer.

Why won't iTunes allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created in December of 2014 and January of 2015, but will allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created before December of 2014?

When I buy and download high resolution music files (FLAC and DSD), I convert them to AIFF files and add them to my iTunes music library. Specifically, I have been converting DSD64 files to 176.4/24 AIFF files. These AIFF files (modified in some respects by iTunes) have been synched to my old iPhone 5 and new iPhone 6. Until December, every 176.4/24 AIFF file played as expected. In December, I purchased two DSD64 albums, which I converted to 176.4/24 AIFF files using AudirvanaPlus 1.5. These 176.4/24 AIFF files will not play on either iPhone. When I converted those DSD64 albums to 88.2/24 AIFF files, they played on both iPhones. In December, I also purchased several 192/24 FLAC albums and converted them to 192/24 AIFF files using Amarra HiFi. These 192/24 AIFF files play properly on both iPhones.

I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

Why won't Itunes let me use my store credit to gift an item

I want to gift a couple songs to my boyfriend, but when i try to gift the songs it asks for my credit card information. i have over $100 in itunes store credit from gift cards. i want to use that money to purchase the songs i will be gifting. why won't itunes allow that? i looked up tutorials and gifting should be easy and all you submit is the other person's email but thats not happening for me.

sadly Apple does not allow you to gift using iTunes Store credit
that's just the way it works I have tried myself and I know it doesn't let you
Sorry

Why won't iTunes accept Jim French Productions as an artist?

I am interested in purchasing single episodes of radio dramas from Jim French Productions through iTunes. I noticed that iTunes (via Audible) sells Jim French Productions collections in the Audiobook store, but audiobooks are not available for redownloading on any idevice. You can only download them once and must sync all your devices to one computer.
So, the perfect solution for both Jim French Productions AND iTunes is to accept them as artists and allow them to sell their episodes in singles or full albums of multiple tracks. I have contacted them and they said iTunes and Apple continue to reject their submissions. And that is just preventing me from giving you both money. And I would probably buy them all if I could buy them as music tracks where I could download them to any device without syncing.
So, why won't iTunes accept Jim French Productions as an artist? And what else can be done to get them accepted?
Curtis
(I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I'm just tired of buying audiobooks on iTunes that I can't easily access and buying episodes through JFP website where I have to add to my iTunes and then sync devices. I just want to buy single episodes of a show that I enjoy listening to very much.)

I know I'm talking to iTunes users here, which I hope would include some iTunes employees since I don't know how to reach them. Apple's website makes it near impossible to actually talk one-on-one with anyone who matters. Makes sense. It just leads to threads like this.
Jim French does have audiobooks on iTunes and they are through Audible. I mentioned that. The only problem is that if you buy those on iTunes, you can't redownload them on other devices like you can with music. I know this. I've purchased many audiobooks and I HATE that system. And I dislike Audible's DRM. I want to buy audio content (whether it's music or books) and be able to access it on any device without having to sync devices, but ALSO have it backed up so I can listen 20 years from now without paying $20 for it again then.
So, I'm reaching out here in case some iTunes employee might be able to shed some light on why a company that iTunes has allowed to sell audiobooks (through Audible) on the iTunes Store won't allow them to sell individual tracks in the music section. There are tons of other albums of Old Time Radio shows in album form in the music section. So why not them?!
Thanks for meaning well and trying to help.

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1? I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8. I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is. I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me. Everything else syncs except Podcasts. I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again? Thanks!

One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.

Why won't my security scan allow me to download creative cloud?

Why won't my windows 8 allow my download to pass the security scan?

At a guess (you don't list the error), what maybe happening is that you have booted from the original OS install disc, told it to install the (old) original OS on to the hard disk and it has said - no thanks you cannot install an older version because it already has a newer version installed.
This is 'normal', what you have to do is totally erase the hard disk first. You do this by booting from the original OS install disc, but rather than trying to do an install straight away, you should first use Disk Utility and use that to erase the hard disk. Then you can run the install again and because the hard disk will be empty it will not have a newer OS on it and the installer will be happy.
Obviously this means any files you have on the hard disk will be erase as well. If you want to keep them you are going to need to back them up first, the easiest way would be to use Time Machine to backup to an external hard disk.

Why won't iTunes read an RSS file

I have had Radio National podcasts in itunes for a while but it has not updated since Dec 13 and I went to the website to download the new podcasts and it says that I do not have a RSS reader loaded?
Why won't itunes do it?
thanks
Lee

Are you talking about one of these:
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/podcasts/program/
Click where it says 'Subscribe in iTunes'. When the page opens, click 'View in iTunes'. When iTunes opens and shows the Store page click 'Subscribe'.
If that doesn't answer it, you need to give more details as to what exactly you are doing.

Why won't iTunes store save my credit card code?

I have to re-enter my credit card code each time I make a purchase through the iTunes store on my laptop (PC) running Windows XP. Why won't iTunes save it?

Is it actually prompting you for a credit card, or just asking you to verify billing details? Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of billing information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none", if it's not already, which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. It may still ask - mine did for a while - but you should just be able to click through the buttons without problems.
By all means, though, if you prefer eMusic, use that service.
Regards.

Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach to apps

Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach of no questions asked refunds within 15 mins if you aren't happy with an app? I have countless apps that I have lost money purchasing because after installation they don't do what I want.
ITunes ripping the public off, one app at a time!

It either A) shows me a white screen where the store should be, B) shows me the white screen with iTunes Store written in the middle or C) actually shows me the store, but as though it can't read all the sophisticated coding and wants to convert it into just plain ol' HTML.
With those symptoms, I'd check through the following document:

HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder?
If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder. This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.
