Importing in iTunes 11 !

Importing a foreign album in iTunes 11 is a disaster ! ! !
You get a wrong album cover ...
which you can not delete (the wrong cover )
EVEN if you delete the alboum and import from a CD again
you get the same wrong cover AGAIN !
Any solutions ?

Importing to iTunes folder doesn't seem to work.

I don't know if this is a vista/itunes bug, but here I go:
I have a music library of about 60 gigs or so. When I try and import the songs WITHOUT moving the songs to iTunes directory, it works like a charm. However, if I check the box to move the imported songs TO the itunes folder, I only get a fraction of the music in my library. I would like for iTunes to import everything to the itunes directory.
Can I do this: Manually copy the music to the iTunes folder and then somehow import the itunes folder? (does that even make sense?)
Thanks in advance

Which files? Music or Photos? Do any songs in iTunes have an exclamation mark next to them? Other files as well? Do you remember what error messages that you were getting? Those error codes could be helpful.

Importing to iTunes

I had to re-install windows XP on my system, which pretty much wiped out everything I had on my harddrive. I re-installed iTunes and have all my songs on my nano and just need them back on iTunes. I'm using Yami-Pod for this but not sure what folder to import them into so iTunes will see them. Can someone walk me through the right steps ? Thanks.

I have a large cd collection stored in Sony carousel
players.
These players have optical / digital output jacks. Is
there any hardware that will convert optical to usb?
If so will I be able to use iTunes to catagorise and
store. I will need a large external hard drive to
hold the data, this much I do know. The rest is an
open question.

Giving up the idea of importing directly to iTunes:
Is it possible to import music in whatever formatfrom a CD
player as described earlier to a Mac or Mac ex hard drive? Can that data then be
reformated for importing to iTunes?

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
How can can I see all the details

Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file. WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media. For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags. With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied. This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

How do I import my itunes library from an external hard drive to my MacBook

I've bought a new MacBook today, my itunes is on my external hard drive which is hooked up to my Mac, I want to import the itunes onto my Mac but don't know how. Anyone know?
Oh & I have no idea what operating system I have....

Can you please explain what you mean by the 'option' button. I've dragged my itunes library to my desktop.
Do not put it on the desktop. You should, in fact, avoid keeping files on the desktop because they use extra system resources there compared to being inside folders. I keep one folder on my desktop which I call "Desktop overflow) and anything I would want to put on the desktop I put in there.
The best place is to put the iTunes folder and all its contents in your home directory (the one indicated by a house icon on a Finder window sidebar), then inside the Music (or it may be called Media since you use a newer version) folder there. This is where you may find one already exists because it is one of the basic folders put on computers when installing the system, I believe (it was on my computer when I got it). If you find one is already there, then as I said before, as long as you don't have any media in it you can just replace it with the one you are copying. You may find once you do that, when you start itunes it starts up with your library already because this is where it expects things to be. If not, hold the option key (may also be called alt, on my keyboard it is between the control key and the command key ( or ⌘ key). Doing this while starting iTunes will have it ask you to point it to the library files, so you need to go to the Music/Media folder, then the iTunes folder, then select one of the library files inside.
Folder hierarchy is pretty much the same on a Mac as it is in Windows.

How do I get CDs that have been imported into my iTunes library to sync/transfer to my iPhone?? All the material that I purchased from iTunes has transferred just fine, but although the CDs will import to iTunes, they will not sync up with my phone. How do I do this??

In what format did you import the cds?
I have never had an issue with this.

File/folder behaviour when importing in iTunes?

I've recently purchased an iPhone 3G. I've also got a substantial mp3 collection (121GB), all ordered in a Genre/Artist/Album subfolder structure. Every file has an ID3 tag properly filled out.
As you can tell I'm an organized person - at least when it comes to music.
I need to know, when I hit the "Import folder", what will happen in the hard drive: Will my folders be modified in any way by iTunes? Or will iTunes create a separate folder with the +same songs+ in it, but just a different order/filetype? Will the new files (or the old files) have some sort of modification done to them, like a format change or a different tag added?
I'd like it if iTunes could "read" my files, but I don't want them modified or doubled-up - that would just ruin all the work I've done and take too much space.
How does iTunes manage the original files and the new files once I import them?

Wow - this was a crucial find for me. I just converted to Win7 64bit with a fresh install of all programs including iTunes. When I went to import my library I checked the "Keep iTunes Media files Organized" not knowing exactly what the impact would be. I found out that it completely re-wrote the native folder and filenames in different scenarios (in windows explorer). Once a file was imported into iTunes it hated special character like hyphens or commas ultimately converting them to underscores. Itunes also combined some albums into a single album/folder like Elton John's Greatest Hits 1970-2002 instead of keeping 2 seperate albums for each disc. Other scenarios I was experiencing was basically rewritten incomplete album names. With nearly 40,000 songs (485GB) on my hard drive (8000 songs on my ipod) it was extremely painful to see names being changed without rhyme or reason.
Simply unchecking both of those boxes got me back to my naming and filing conventions. Essentially back to good with no further conversion of special characters or file names.
Unfortunately now I am going back and re-correcting all of the folders and files that were changed under the "checked" settings. Much happier with the organization of the database now.
Thanks for sharing the note.

I just imported my Itunes Library to a new laptop from an External HD with Windows 8 but it does not load my playlists on my Iphone? Is this solveable? Would hait to re-build the playlists

My old laptop crashed but I had my Itunes Library backed up to an external HD. I've managed to import my Itunes Library from the HD but none of my old play lists appear on in Itunes. I tried syncing to my Iphone 4S that has the playlists to no avail. Ideas and solutions welcome

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

I imported my itunes folder from an external drive on a freshly wiped computer. My playlists and ratings did not copy over. how can I fix this?

i imported my itunes library from a backup drive after i reinstalled windows on my machineby copying the itunes folder from the backup to the my music folder on my c drive. when i opened itunes and imported the library the playlists and ratings were missing. Is this normal itunes behavior? hoow can i fix this?

Did your backup include the iTunes Library.itl file that is the core of an iTunes Library, and if so have you restored it either to the default library location for your profile, or to another folder and then redirected iTunes to look to that folder for a library? Normally all you need do is backup the entire iTunes folder from the old profile's Music folder, then restore the iTunes folder into the new profile's Music folder.

Hello Robert,
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Is there a way to import in iTunes--from a CD--a partial track of a song?

is there a way to import in iTunes--from a CD--a partial track of a song? (i.E., there are a few seconds of junk-talk before the music begins; I'd like to omit the talk).

If you have the song in iTunes already you can select it and "Get Info" then under the options tab...I think it's options, I'm away from my computer....change the start time to a time that is after the talking intro. From then on the song will start at the desired time.

Just copy the entire /Musci/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
The libraries will be identical (date added, ratings, artwork, etc.).
You can do this easily over the network.
