Why can't I import files into iTunes from my computer?
I can't import a file but i've tried every method of adding file to library and drag and drop and nothing has worked. I have the lastest version of iTunes.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

Right-click the file and choose Open With > iTunes.
If the file is compatible, it will start playing and will be added to your library.
If iTunes "errors silently" (i.e., does nothing) then the file is not compatible with iTunes.
Thanks a lot! I had been trying different things for hours and this worked!
