Itunes and cd copying problem

hey guys
just wondering if anyone has had similar problems to me...
when i put an audio cd in my cd drive (real cds), and try to copy, sometimes on a particular track it gets stuck, and after it gets stuck the cd drive keeps spinning and stopping, then spinning and stopping (etc)... if i try to close itunes it goes into the spinning rainbow and it wont close... usually i have to force quit it, but that doesn't stop the cd from spinning... i then have to either put it to sleep and hope the cd stops spinning, or i have to force a shutdown and turn it back on...
if i try it again the track does it again... i can copy all the other songs but that one... i dont know if it happens to be that the cd is scratched or something (because the cds i tried to copy i guess arent the BEST condition, but not scratched in a way that wouldnt work on my pc)...
oh.. actually i just spammed my eject button after force quitting itunes and my cd popped out... bu yeah.. anyone know anything about this? had similar problems or know how i can possibly fix it?
its happened to two of my cds, and ive copied over about.. hm... 5 cds? any help would be mucho appreciated!

A good thing to try is to take the same cd's into an apple retail store and attempt the same "rip" there.
If they encounter the same issue then you know where the problem lies, but if all goes well at the store then you've got more work to do.
Try playing back the same tracks on your computer to see if there's any skipping when they're played.
It could be something relating to iTunes, so it may help to try the rip in another user account.
If it happens in two accounts it might be worth it to attempt a PRAM reset, as I've used it to clear up some weird optical drive issues in the past, but try things in the order I've listed and hopefully you get somewhere.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
Regards.

I updated iTunes and then had problems. iTunes fails to download. Did they take it off-line?

I updated iTunes and then had problems. iTunes fails to download. Did they take it off-line?

There were no error codes. I went to the download site and started to download. Popup window appeared and then when I clicked on save, the window disappeared, but no download appeared in the download folder.
many thanks.
Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

ITUNES and Exclamation point problems

It is incredibly frustrating trying to support a program that has so many quirks in it. Itunes should be a lot easier to handle when it comes to file management than it currently is. I recently changed out my 250 gb main HD for a 1 TB hard drive in order to have the itunes music folder on the same HD as the Operating system. Apparently itunes has a completely different way of cataloging the music in the actual itunes folder, which is now called itunes media, than it used to. When I transfered all my files from the original 250 gb volume to the 1 TB volume via mac transfer, I thought that the current itunes on the original HD would also transfer, nope. Itunes couldn't access my itunes music folder which had not been moved to the new location yet beacuse the version remained consistent with the OS installer and not what was originally on my old HD. Hence newer itunes music folder (which it was still called) with old itunes, not good! I upgraded to the newest itunes via software update in order for it to even recognize my "newer" itunes folder and that's when things really went sour. I copied over the itunes folder over to the new HD and changed the preferences in itunes to select that as my new media folder. Itunes recognized nothing. all songs had a impossible exclamation point. I moved the itunes music folder out of the itunes folder on the main HD and had itunes create a new folder as its media folder. I imported a song in itunes with the copy all files to the itunes folder to see where the songs were going to be stored. It created a music folder within the Itunes media. Great I thought I just will dump the contents of the old itunes music folder into the new music folder. Most songs (I have 50,090 of them) have come back. Unfortunate news, I HAVE TONS THAT STILL HAVE THAT EXCLAMATION POINT NEXT TO IT. and why? because if an artist is featured and has another name by it such as Leona Lewis featuring One republic, itunes does not know to look via Leona Lewis with Album Echo, it just simply can't find it. I can understand where the coding for that may be a little difficult, but here is the real issue. That is just one song, but I have volumes of artists with other artists, and when I find one of the songs in a batch with the same issue, Itunes only recognizes that one song and expects me to search and rescue all the songs that are in that same Unfindable folder individually. I can't change the tags on the exclamation songs to help redirect it better and I am forced to re-import all those songs. I HATE THIS!If an album is called boneyard and I find one song in that folder, it should know that the rest of the songs from the album boneyard are in that folder, similarily to FINAL CUT PRO which I deal with on a regular basis. The two programs with the find my media helper are written by two people on opposites sides of the earth. FCP can determine that if an "issue" file is found and is grouped with another "issue" file it scans the folder to see if other files that you are missing are indeed in there, why can't itunes. And another thing, why is there no way of sorting the songs via that stupid exclamation point, so I can at least see what I am dealing with. I have to continually scroll up and down the music contents folder and do double takes to see if a song had that exclamation point on it.
Any help to ease this problem would be greatly appreciated.

+"I copied over the itunes folder over to the new HD"+
That was the mistake right there.
Once an item is in your iTunes library, iTunes will lose it if you move or rename the item or any of its containing folders.

ITunes and Safari access problems

Running 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
Suddenly I am having problems with iTunes and Safari. I can no longer access my account in iTunes, get Keychain Invalid error, I have run Keychain first aid, nothing works. Completely deleted all keychains, and still no access
I also can no longer download from Apple site, have limited access to areas on the Apple site. Certain pages from the Apple site aren't loading completely.
Certain other websites not accessible anymore, getting "couldn't establish secure connection" error message.
Seems like something changed in my security settings.
Can access from other computers in house, so not a ISP problem.
Any suggestions on what might be causing problem.

kevgil,
It is not necessary to post a duplicate topic asking the same question. If you find that you are not receiving help from someone you can always "bump" your existing topic by just replying to it. That will of course bring it to the top of the list.
Anyways, you mention "Can access from other computers in house, so not a ISP problem". It would help to know if these other computers are using 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2? Are these computer connected in any different manner than the affected computer that you are having the problem with.
Did you try the browser that I suggested in your previous topic (Camino 1.6.8)? Safari 1.3.2 is no longer supported and will have many problems with certain websites and their features (such as flash version etc.) Please try Camino and let us know if the problem persists. This will at least let everyone know that the problem is not with an outdated browser.

Itunes and quicktime install problem

I have just bought an ipod classic. went to apple.com, downloaded latest version of itunes, on the install i get an error saying some of the quicktime software is out of date to fix this problem by upgrading click 'Go there now'
unfortunately it doesn't go anywhere!
itunes will not start because of this either, it says it has a problem and needs to close.
I have tried installing older versions of itunes,Quicktime;un-installing,re-installing,installing seperately, from different sites as well as apple, butit ends up the same.
im only running windows firewall and AVG anti virus.
can anyone help me as to why i can't install them especially Quicktime as it seems i need that for itunes and i need itunes to load the ipod!
Please help if you have any ideas, i've been trying now for 5 hours!!!!

Try installing from here:
http://www.filehippo.com/downloadquicktimeplayer/
If that doesn't work, try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:

Itunes and quicktime major problems...

I can't get itunes to work at all and now quicktime's stopped functioning! I get the usual "Sorry for the inconvenience but itunes has encounted a problem and needs to close" every time I try and start it. I've installed quicktime from the main apple download and it installs fine but won't actually work! I've tried uninstalling quicktime but I get the message ' fatal error during installation' and it quits the uninstall. I've uninstalled itunes and after reinstalling it get the same 'sorry for the inconvenience' message again. Need assistance from an itunes expert please. Thanks.

hmmmm. i'm better at the 6.0.x and 5.0.x versions of this. but let's try some things here.
the message that you're getting with the QT uninstall is a variation of the 1603 error message that folks used to get in the 6.0.x and 5.0.x days. so we'll atart working through some of the techniques that used to work with it on a QT uninstall/install in those days.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, clear leftover QuickTime program files and folders from the PC.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
restart your PC, and try installing iTunes again.
does the install go through properly this time?

ITunes And Digital Copy Question

sorry if this has been asked before but
is there a way to register all my digital copy blu rays onto my itunes and delete them so they dont take space away from my macbook pro?
i copied Juno onto the computer then deleted it, and they let me know that even if i delete the movie, it will stay in my itunes. But it doesnt, how do i/ can i redownload these movies anytime?
PS- reason why im doing this is because i notice Digital Copys expire, and i figured that if i load them up, i would be safe from them not expiring
Message was edited by: Avalanche™

As I understand what you are trying to accomplish - copy the Bluray to iTunes so you can avoid an expiration date - then delete the items from iTunes to the trash.
If this is what you intend to do then the items are removed from iTune database and deleted from the HD when you empty the Trash.
A possible work around is when you want to d/l the Bluray after the expiration date is to reset your computers current date and time to an earlier date and time - then copy the items.

Newest Version of iTunes and Windows Logo problem

I just tried to download the newest version of iTunes, but I get a warning about how it does not meet Windows Logo requirements and how it could change my entire computer system. Can this happen?! My iTunes is an older version and it has been working fine, up until now. When I try to open iTunes now I get this message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". I can't even charge my iPod.

The ModName is objc.dll
The ModVer is 1.435.14.16
Perfect. The iTunes launch error looks to be being caused by trouble with an Application Support dll (iTunes needs a properly working Apple Application Support in order to work properly).
We maaaaay be able to get past this without having to reinstall iTunes ... but it's going to depend on what version of Apple Application Support you have installed. (There was a bug in early versions of AAS which would prevent the trick I have in mind from working.)
Can you check something for me?
Open your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select the Apple Application Support entry. Click on the "Click here for support information" link.
In the little box that shows up, is your Apple Application Support version number *1.2.0 or higher?*
(The trick I have in mind doesn't work reliably for versions 1.0.1 or 1.1.0, unfortunately.)

ITunes and Windows Vista problem

Updated Itunes and hit a problem

Not sure if this is the right forum as i can't remember what my ipod is, bought two years ago and it may be a video ipod i'm just not sure. Anyway I updated itunes the other day and now all my playlists appear to now be empty. Not sure what i've done but any suggestions as to how to fix it. I have an old copy of my music on my external hard drive, do i need to retrieve that?
Thanks in advance

Editing Film Photos and Virtual Copy Problem

I just scanned some film in and then imported it to lightroom. I am now running into a problem when I go to retouch/edit the film in photoshop. When I scan the film in it scans in as a .tiff file. I first tried to edit just the original to see if it would save back into lightroom as .psd but it didnt it saved the original tiff. I want to have two copies, the original and the edited file. So second I tried to make a virtual copy and edit that one and save it but again it saved both the virtual copy and the original file with the edits that I made. I finally tried right clicking the original file and editing with edit a copy. This finally worked I was able to have a copy and the original file unedited.
My question is if I edit this way and have a bunch of edit with copies is my picture sizes going to double? (having two copies of each photo, one edited and one original)
Or is there a way to edit a .tiff as a virtual copy and not have it save the changes to both files.
hope this wasn't super confusing

Thanks Sean..
Actually it did work but on the flickr side, i didn't notice until i logged on.. The Flickr side added a '2' to the virtual copy although Lightroom uses the original name/copy. So i guess it works, just a little confusing. I have not tweaked the virtual copy yet to see if it updates the '2' copy on Flickr or throws a wobbly instead
I used Jeffrey's plugin for sometime but eventually I decided to delete all my photos from flickr (new account anyway) and decided to go fresh with LR 3. It works really well and any tweak i make get's republished without deleting any previous comments or data. Jeffrey's just doesn't have that same visual impact and integration. The LR version has a few quirks but seems stable enough for solid use... Just need to be smart with it because pilot error can make problems.

ITunes and Airport Express Problem

I try to switch my iTunes audio output from computer to my stereo speakers 'My Room'. I receive a message saying: The remote speaker 'My Room' is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
As I understand this message, iTunes does not like either a) the setings of AX or B) AX at all.
I have updated my iTunes to version 7.0.1.
Any ideas?

That's strange because my Airtunes works flawlessly with my Macmini amd iTunes 7. Have you updated th Airport software to the most recent availiable? That could cause problems. (To update, go to Applications, Utilities, Airport Admin Utility. And Click configure.

Itunes and Mac Pro Problem -- Help Please

Having a really strange problem and could use some help.
I've got a Mac Pro with my wife's Ipod attached. Updating songs on the Ipod has become very, very slow. Literally, it's taking hours to move over a couple of albums.
Just out of curiousity, I hooked it up to a Macbook Pro in the house and everything was just fine. Tried reinstalling itunes on the Mac Pro and it didn't do it the trick.
All machines are intel based. Other peripherals are working fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Flickr and Virtual Copy Problem..

I have photos uploaded to flickr through lightroom but if i create a virtual copy of a used image flickr gets confused because the filename remains the same and wants to update my image with an edit i prefer to keep separate.
Without creating a tiff or jpg of the original RAW file is there a way to avoid this?
Would love to be able to rename virtual copies but it's not possible right?
any solutions?
