Hoping this isn't in the wrong spot. But here's the deal. I moved all my music from my work computer (mac) to my home computer (pc) via cds
Now I've got all my videos on a cd as files, how do i get them into my itunes?

Itunes > File > Import

foofighter15 · 11-19-2007, 10:45 PM

Tried that already. It wont work

Edit:It should though. They are all .mp4's and m4v's

import them to your hard drive first then do itunes import if you can. maybe your PC can't read the file extensions that are on the cd though?

Hopefully you won't have to do them one by one, but try "Add File To Library" instead of import

I've got them on my desktop if that's what you mean.

Can you play the files from your desktop via quicktime? How big are they?

Well this will add to the fun. Quicktime wont work.

Barnes · 11-19-2007, 11:22 PM

Try to uninstall Quicktime and then reinstall.

foofighter15 · 11-19-2007, 11:22 PM

nvm

foofighter15 · 11-19-2007, 11:31 PM

That got my quicktime working again, but my videos still wont go into itunes

Barnes · 11-19-2007, 11:45 PM

iTunes 7.5? I know there are some issues with this version on Windows. See if there are any iTunes updates available. The latest version may be required to work with the quicktime version you downloaded.

7.5 wasn't working so I had to go back to 7.4
I'm pretty sure that quicktime wasn't updated. Just iTunes. Could be wrong tho

Don't import, just add folder to library. also in file drop down menu.

foofighter15 · 11-20-2007, 12:19 AM

Still not working. man this is weak

With iTunes doesn't it require the files to be on your local disk, or at least A local disk? I keep all my music on an external hard-drive and that's why I don't use iTunes. It couldn't find my "library" if my hard-drive wasn't plugged in.

Evil software.

No. You can keep your library on an external drive.

iTunes and quicktime were both updated recently. Try to run the software update.

The updated iTunes (7.5) doesn't run on my computer
