Won't add wma

Am I alone in wondering why the newest version of iTunes won't add WMA files to the library? Not in recently added, regular library, anywhere...

Because Microsoft wouldn't let Apple use the required codec in the Mac OS X version of it. Use a product such as Switch instead.
Nothing will work for WMA files which contain DRM.

19 related songs out of 1,000 would not add (WMA)

Running iTunes 12.0.1.26 under Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.
Adding over 1,000 songs to a new library. All added fine except for 19 (all associated with "Annie Get Your Gun") which went to a WMA folder under Not Added.
Is there something I can look at that will explain the rejection?

iTunes won't add WMA themselves to the library, but it normally offers to make copies in the currently selected import format of any non-DRMed WMA files during import. It seems that process isn't applied to the Automatically Add to iTunes Folder, however you can use File > Add Folder to Library and select the Not Added folder and iTunes will offer to convert any WMA files that it is able to.

My iPhone's number won't add itself to iMessage or FaceTime!

My new phone number is greyed out and not available to be selected for iMessage or FaceTime. I've changed my iMessage/FaceTime phone number in the past without any issue, but now this new one won't add! I've tried logging out of ALL devices and logging back in, but it didn't help. No matter what I do, I can't select my telephone number to be active for iMessage/FaceTime!
Here's some background:
First phone number on an iPhone 3GS with AT&T: Phone number worked fine on iMessage!
Took my iPhone 3GS (unlocked) to Straight Talk Wireless (a Tracfone prepaid service branded for Wal-Mart) with a NEW number: Phone number worked fine on iMessage!
Upgraded to iPhone 5 (locked to T-Mobile) on Straight Talk Wireless (with T-Mobile-compatible SIM) with the SAME Straight Talk Wireless phone number: Phone number worked fine on iMessage! This newer iPhone also introduced FaceTime and my number worked fine on that too!
Took the same iPhone 5 to Brightspot Wireless (a T-Mobile prepaid service branded for Target Stores) and got a NEW phone number: This new number will NOT add to iMessage or FaceTime no matter what I do! It stays grayed out and cannot be selected!
I have other Apple devices that also use iMessage and/or FaceTime:
iMac on OS X Yosemite Beta with both iMessage & FaceTime
iPhone 4S on iOS 8.0.2 used only as a glorified iPod Touch (kept on Airplane Mode with WiFi only -- it has an inactive dummy SIM so it would activate in iTunes and operate normally) with both iMessage & FaceTime
iPhone 3GS on iOS 6.1.3 (the same as used before with Straight Talk Wireless) now only used as a glorified iPod Touch (kept on Airplane Mode with WiFi only -- this one still has its most recent Straight Talk Wireless SIM in it so it would activate after its restore in iTunes and operate normally) with iMessage only (no FaceTime)
In case it matters, the iPhone 5 in question (with the phone number that won't add) is on iOS 7.1.2.
People have my new number but it's not going to all my devices when another iDevice sends me an iMessage and it's really frustrating for this to not work properly! My only thought is that my iPhone 5's custom APN settings keep erasing themselves after a restart or a loss in signal, causing me to have no MMS or data (except WiFi) until I type the settings back in. I can see why this might make me temporarily disconnected from Apple's servers, but I don't see why it won't add the phone number in the first place! Please help!

I have the same issue... tried logging out of iMessages and FaceTime on all devices, reset network settings, start again from the iPhone which number i want to connect etc., but to no avail. It keeps being greyed out and I'm unable to select it no matter what...
O, and whats more frustrating, people are sending me iMessages to the number in question (like when they use the phone number and not the email address), the iMessage goes through from their side, but I never get it on any of my devices! Many people have asked me why I'm not responding to their messages and I have no idea they even sent me!

ITunes crashed during "Get Info" now the movie won't add to the library

Hi all,
I've been using iTunes with my Apple TV for over a year now, and this is the first time this has happened, and I'm at a loss on what to do to remedy it.
I added a number of movies to my iTunes (as i have done a number of times before), and selected them all, and clicked on Get Info, to move them from "Home Movies" to "Films", nothing new there, but this time when i clicked ok this time, for whatever reason iTunes stopped responding, and came up with the usual error of "iTunes has stopped responding....", so after I get returned to my desktop I went back in to iTunes and the movies i'd added weren't in "Home Movies" so i figured, "oh well, it must have completed it anyway, and then crashed", so i went and checked my movie list, and they aren't there either.
I figured that it just hadn't saved the fact i'd imported them, and went to add them again, but it just won't add them... i've tried adding them as multiple files, and adding them as individuals, but still to no avail.
Can anyone shed any light, or point me in the right direction for correcting this issue?
Thanks in advance for reading, and any help anyone can offer.

Hi beau_nidle,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If iTunes quit unexpectedly while saving changes, and now will not import the movies again, I'd suggest rebuilding your iTunes library. See this article for help with this troubleshooting step:

All the best,

I would like to use my deactiveted iPhone 3G for apps and music. How do I add music? When I synch with iTunes it won't add the selected playlists.

ITunes 10.5 won't add to library OR play any audio files prior to update

I recently updated to iTunes 10.5 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8, and iTunes won't add any of my old music files to the library, regardless of what directory they are in. The permissions on all files and folders of interest are read and write. I've tried directing the library to sevral different places, deleting the library files, etc. etc. Nothing works. Not only this, but iTunes won't even open ANY of the old files when I click on them, even though they all have the iTunes icon. Additionally, when I move the files in the library but don't tell iTunes in preferences, they still play (there are two songs in the library I just downloaded from the store to figure out what's going on). Anyone have any ideas here, this is a mess. Oh, forgot to mention I reinstalled iTunes as well and that didn't resolve any issues. Have tried restarting the computer also. Thanks for any thoughts,
Brad

ITunes won't add files or folders

For the last couple of days I've been having a problem where iTunes won't add files or folders for no discernible reason. Yesterday I was able to add a few videos, then I wasn't. Today after reinstalling iTunes it added my music just fine, but when that was finished and I wanted to add something else, nothing. I don't know why it's doing this. Drag and drop doesn't work, either. When I try to bring a file over, I get a little red circle with the line through it saying it can't do it.
Help?

Ok. So its finally working again. Not sure why, but maybe my experience will help someone else.
All I can say is that I have been trying a relentless combination of mounting and mounting the drive, checking and unchecking the 'copy files to iTunes Library', running 'consolidate library', and everything in between. One of them finally kicked it back into action.
Nice Apple. 9.2.1 isn't buggy at all...that's sarcasm.

Somehow i have genius, and often a song will not play because it isn't on my genius playlist. tried adding it and it won't add.. do i need genius? what does it do for me?

often i try and play a song and the genius menu comes up and stops me. do i need genius? what does it do for me? one favorite song is not on the genius playlist, and they won't add it. it is a big bother, actually

What do you mean it comes up and stops you?
No you don't need Genius. If it's just an extra feature of the device.
Looking for a bit more detail as to what is happening and what you are doing to make it happen.

Compressor Won't Add Files to Source

For some reason my Compressor won't add any files to the source.
For example I'm trying to add a ~30GB .mp4 to the source so that I convert it.
Not sure what other details I can give other than this.

When you open the files in QuickTime Player, do they have a buffer bar that needs to load before they can be played back? If so, Compressor likely needs to fully load the video before it can work with the file. I've run into this with .mkv files, so maybe the .mp4 files sourced from .mkv have the same behavior.
In these cases I generally save a referenced .mov file from Quicktime 7 Pro and drop that in Compressor for a smoother workflow. It still needs to fully buffer in QT7 Pro before you can do a Save As, though.

Iphoto 9.5.1 won't add picasa to the export list

I have always been able to get picasa as one of the export photos options in the past versions of iphoto. Now it won't add that option. I re-downloaded the latest version of picasa web uploader for mac and restarted both apps but I just can't get it done. It would be ridiculous to have to export a whole album to another place on my disk just so I can upload.
Does anyone know why this isn't working now? or how to get it to work?

iPhoto offers a plug-in architecture for export plug ins. DIfferent folks then make plug-ins for that architecture. You'll need to ask the makers of the picasa one why thay haven't updated that plug-in in years.

Songs won't add

This one band (killwhitneydead) won't add to iTunes for some reason. They're the only songs that won't add. I've tried dragging and dropping, adding files, adding folders etc.
Any reason for this?

Bumpage.

Won't add music

iMovie won't add music. It will let me drag a song from the music area and highlights the movie like it is in there but then no music appears after I release the mouse.

What version of iMovie is this?
Will they not import from the iTunes library?

ITunes won't add large files to the library

I use software to convert my personal DVDs into Apple TV format via H.264 decoder for 720p resolution. The resulting files are typically larger than 3GB for a 2 hour movie. Now iTunes won't add them to my library so I can't sync them or stream them to my Apple TV.
Any advice? Is there a setting in iTunes that I overlooked?
I have tried the mpg4 conversion setting for 480 resolution and those files will load into iTunes and stream to Apple TV, but they are grainy and a horrible quality. So for those saying I don't need to use the H.264, I am picky and want a high quality resolution.
Thanks for any advice and help.

It is possible that there is something else wrong with my files. Several mp4 files worked fine prior to getting a new iMac and transferring the files over (using ext HDDs, not the migration wizard). Quicktime won't even open the files in question. It states that they are not movie files.
Sounds odd, they may be corrupted.
Try enusring the file extensions are either .mp4 or .m4v (or .mov perhaps).
3GB+ for a file intended for AppleTv 2 hours long sounds excessive and may exceed AppleTv playback specs but it shouldn'tbother quicktime. If the files don't open in QT they may well be corupted.
