I believe I just used command-v to paste both music and movies into
the automatically add folder and all that is fine in iTunes. It actually
went quite fast compared to my previous failed attmetps.
But am unable to add a couple audio books I had bought and which are
on both iPhone and iPad. Automatically add does not do it and neihter
does Transfer Purchases. Went to the iTunes Store and found old books I
do not want, but the two do not show up.
I got both devices synced to the Mac now (used Windows before) but
its not clear why the books are not in the iTunes library. If I can get
this fixed I can move to another project.

. . . what if it were true?

The important caveat is that when you put stuff into the Automatically Add to
iTunes folder, you must do so atomically, i.e. move, not copy. You can do so
using the Command-C to copy, then Command-Option-V to move strategy. I must
admit that I find myself using Terminal more and more for simply moving items
from Downloads into the auto-add folder, though if I thought about it, there'd
be a way--if tedious--to do it exclusively using the Finder.
It is OK to tell iTunes, using the Add to Library option, to add your existing
Music folder in your Home folder; sometimes when the library gets corrupted you
can do that to simply restore access to all your media. This is also a great
way to reveal duplicates. iTunes never adds to its catalog any media file that
it already knows about, so this operation is completely safe.
