Can't Import MP4 files into iTunes on Mac - Solved

Though iTunes announced to support MP4 video file, we often meet difficulty in adding MP4 to iTunes or in syncing MP4 files from iTunes to iPod, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV. The following article just aims to solve how to successfully import iTunes unsupported MP4 to iTunes so as to play MP4 in iTunes or sync MP4 to iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple TV.



iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.

Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications like the encoder, bit rate, resolution, etc. and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices because of incompatibility problem. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
