See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows - Apple Community. If drag & drop isn't working for you try File > Add Folder to Library. Tunes will ignore any files it doesn't think it can handle. Alternatively place copies of content you want to add into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder inside your iTunes Media folder. If they are moved into a Not Added folder that indicates they are in a format that iTunes finds unacceptable. Possible causes are corrupt files, inconsistent file extensions, or blocked files.

Hi, unfortunately those options don't work and I can't work out how to contact apple support when it isn't related to a device, but rather a program. this is my problem (photo). When I try adding from file option in itunes it doesn't copy across either.
See the section on Blocked files in the user tip. What is the source of the files? I've heard of sites that can deliver files in .m4a format with a .mp3 file extension, or vice versa. Is another media player like VLC able to play the files?

They are MPEG Layer 3 Audio (.mp3)
All my files are the same type - and they have all loaded in previously until a couple weeks ago. I want them on itunes as I sync them onto my phone :(
I'm not sure where to find the Blocked Files on the user tip.
I'd be happy to employ your services remotely if you can use teamviewer or something . I have just checked my ant virus and itunes is allowed - as it always has been. im just stumped because this has only recently started happening and I cannot figure it out. :(

Odd, I couldn't see it until I signed in. It is a recent edit, but I don't know why it isn't visible to everyone. Here it is:
Blocked files
Files downloaded from the Internet may be blocked from routine access in Windows Explorer as a security measure, which may also prevent them from being imported into iTunes. Right-click on such files and then select Properties. In the General tab, click Unblock if present, click Apply and then click OK.

Interesting, they went straight into a 'not add' folder - I have never had this problem before. They are the same file types as all my other music. I'm at a loss :(
Ah man, tried that just now. Still didn't work :(
