Successful library import but can't import music folders now..?

I recently successfully imported my library from off of my external hard drive. However, when I try to import a separate album from the external hard drive to the imported library nothing happens. I've tried both dragging the file to the iTunes window and the "add to library" choice within iTunes. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! Oh, I should note that I'm totally new to Apple and iTunes. It's really impressive I managed to import the library. So, basically, use simple language in your response! 🙂

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

This is possibly a permissions problem.


Right-click on your main iTunes folder, or the media folder if separate, and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
