iTunes 11 Won't Let Me Add Songs To Library

This was the solution for me - thanks slender1213! I don't use iTunes in the Cloud anyway, so it's no loss to turn it off. I had noticed a moving-grey-crosshatched cloud icon next to the "Music" pop-up menu, and that has vanished since turning it off, plus recent additions now appear.

I suspect "iTunes in the Cloud" isn't quite production-ready yet.

Following slender's suggestion and disabling iTunes in the cloud worked like a charm! Thanks a lot 😉

Ok, so I have the same problem as you, & I've tried every solution here, including disabling itunes in the cloud. It still won't add files to my library... Can someone please help me?? EDIT: It seems to just be one mp3 file that it wont let me add... I downloaded it from video2mp3.net, & its actullaly starting to **** me off that it wont load onto my library. File Name: Green Day - Brutal Love (FULL SONG) - Lyrics

I did what slender 1213 said and it worked for me! At least so far.

This worked for me as well.

I had this problem as well, what helped me was to rename the MP3 file you're trying to add and just try re-adding again. Hopefully it works.

Same issue. . files not adding. I'd tried all previous suggestions, to no avail. Jenshelly, however, solved the problem for me. Thanks.

I could see that iTunes had added a folder with the song file, but it wouldn't show up in the library. Merely re-naming the file -- the *one that remained on my desktop* when trying to add -- somehow then allowed the file *in iTunes* to show up. The song now appears with it's original, correct title among others in the library lineup. Strange, but that's what happened.

It's great that so many people are getting this to work. Unfortunately it is still it working for me:( However it used to work in iTunes 10. I wonder when Apple are going to rectify the problem?

Bill,

In my haste to fix the problem, I didn't realize this forum was discussing iTunes for WINDOWS. I'm on Mountain Lion for Mac.

I had the same issue and none of the other fixes worked for me. This worked a treat. It's beyond belief that iTunes are not prioritising this fix.

Thanks CocoaBob

This worked for me thanks!!

Yeah same thing here. This is sortof ridiculous, unable to add music to a music player. C'mon dont release your software till its working. I dont think any of the above solutions have a validity. Mine seems to work once and awhile randomly. If you look hard enough you can see the import crash. White box flashes up and goes away.

Sometimes clearing itunes cash/restarting makes it happy?

Super weird... deselecting "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" did the trick for me. Thanks slender1213!

Slender1213's suggestion worked for me, too.

Problem Solved - If using Windows 7 and for instance you want to add folder to itunes you must first transfer the music you want to upload to itunes in the Music Folder - Noted as "Public Music Folder" - This applies to either music on your system itself or from an External Hard Drive - There is no other option thanks to the annoying Windows 7 Operating System - I transferred a huge file and then added it the usual way onto itunes and it worked.

I cannot stress enough how much better and overall how immaculate Windows XP actually was - these new operating systems are nothing but headaches and troubles as they attempt to restrict us in usage by so many means necessary - I am so tempted to go back to that system as Windows 7 has been nothing but **** for me.
