Got x-fi, now can't play CDs while surfing Internet (modem disconnec

Okay, anyone else experiencing this? I have a Pentium 2.4 and a modem using the Intel 536EP chip. Ever since I installed my x-fi extreme music, I cannot play CDs in iTunes and connect to the Internet at the same time. It keeps disconnecting me. I don't have any problems playing ripped music and connecting to the Internet though.

Does this happen if you play CDs using WMP (or winamp) instead?
If it does:
Try if stopping 'Creative Service for CD Rom Access' and kill all creative processes on task manager. Also, check if there is IRQ sharing with Modem and CD player (eg. IDE).

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

I tried Notpod but can't get it to work. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+). I also can't do this in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
Thanks anyone who can help

I am getting interference on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from down loaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am getting interference (scratching sound) on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from downloaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much for the reply. I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car. I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.
More thoughts?

ITunes 7.5 - major bug with playing cds! ?

when i play cds and deselect tracks, i often get spinning wheels that freeze itunes and make me force quit. it happens with both cd drives, and with a dozen different cds, all brand new.
this only happens with 7.5. if i use 7.4.2, it never ever happens. and it never happened with any itunes version before 7.5. it also happened with 10.4.8 and itunes 7.5 before i upgraded to 10.4.11.
the thing is, it only seems to happen right when i deselect the track on a cd, and usually at the very end of the track. this is quite unusual, but i've got it to reproduce very consistently.
try unchecking say, tracks 1-3 on a cd, then on track 4, uncheck it as it's playing at the last few seconds of the track, like at 2 seconds left. if it doesnt happen, re-select it and try again, and if not then leave it unchecked and try the same thing on track 5.
i cant use 7.5 b/c of this bug.
thanks

ha, yeah i see that - thank you! yours sounds like the same problem. i cant believe nobody else posted about this. it happens on every cd! and apple tech support today said they had no knowledge of this problem. the itunes techie couldnt test it out on his end b/c he said they are prohibited from having cds at work. this is insane considering that playing cds is a major function of itunes, so how is itunes tech support supposed to diagnose cd related problems when they dont have any cds!!? jeez

Burned CDs from iTunes purchases play in some stereo units and not others

My car stereo has no problems playing CDs I've recently burned from itunes purchases. My wife's car stereo can't! She doesn't have an ipod dock in her 9 year old car so it's CDs or nothing. Anyone have any ideas why the discs won't play in her car but do play on every other CD player (including my PC) that we own?
Her car stereo has no issues playing other CDs, including CDs I've burned from itunes which were originally uploaded from CDs by me.
It seems to be the most recent three purchases from itunes that are the problem. Do I need to convert the AAC files back to MP3 before burning or some other clever cheat?
Thnx in advance

Thnx for the comments Chris CA.
Yes, Audio CD is selected when I burn the CDs.

Computer freezes when importing CDs or playing songs through iTunes

Hi! I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but have not had any luck. Whenever I try to import a CD to iTunes, my computer freezes. Just recently, my computer started freezing when I play songs through iTunes. I have noticed that some people have similar, if not the same, problem and any suggestions of things that may help are greatly appreciated!

b noir,
I also have had this same issue. In reading your reply, I've also saved my CD diagnostics....they are included below. I'm fairly convinced that my problem lies in the drive. It is causing WM Player to lockup as well. Please help....thanks.

I have ripped all of my Cds into iTune, now I cannot find where some of the artists have been filled, not all the artists are listed, yet others are listed multiple times as they play with other groups. How do I list all one artist under his name? I know

Sorry this will appear pretty basic stuff. I have ripped all my Cds into iTunes, but in starting to make playlists it is apparent that some artists are listed multiple times as they appear with different bands, and others do not appear at all. I have tried searching different categories, compilations etc, and Finder box does not bring them up.
My questions are:-
Do I need additional software to manipulate my tunes in iTunes?
If so what is suggested?
or if not:-
How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?
How do I make my "lost" artists tunes appear?
Thanks for any advice.

I am not really following what the problem is here. Artists are listed in the Artist field. I guess you could stick individual artists in a band in a field such as comments, but then you would have to include searching the comments field in your search. In which fields are these names located?
How are you making these playlists? Are these smart playlists or are you just dragging tracks to a playlist?
Are you doing this search with Finder's find or with iTunes' search?
If I knew exactly what it was you were trying to do I could tell you if you need addditional software. In reality though there isn't "additional software" for iTunes. There's Applescript plugins but I don't see how the ones with which I am familiar would have anything to do with searching for artist names.
How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

I have downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they no longer sync with my iPod touch. They play on the computer but won't sync

I downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they wont sync withe my itouch. It used to work but won't anymore.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week. Help! Thanks.

Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

Copy Protected CDs and iTunes - long but important

Hey all, I didn't search all the posts but I haven't seen much mentioned about this topice so I thought I would bring it to your attention. If this is a repeat, I apologize.
The basic issue is this: some new CDs (especially from Sony) have a program on them that loads on the computer and will only allow you to load the songs as WMA files. This happened to me when I bought a copy of Switchfoot's new cd. It says right on the back that it will only work with Media Player but hey, I wasn't paying attention. Apparently this is not an issue is you are using a Mac.
Anyhow, you cannot load these CDs into iTunes and therefore cannot load them onto your iPod. This has created a huge controvery over on the Sony boards and if you follow the link I will give you, you can see it. Switchfoot is a very popular band and a lot of people got hammered over this. I was lucky enough that my Christian store took the opened cd back after I explained the problem and I had to download it from the iTunes store. You lose a song this way but what can you do. I guess the new album by Cold Play is the same way but I am not a fan so I can't be sure.
If you follow the Sony posts, when you get to the 6th page (I think), one of the members of Switchfoot posted and gave us a few ways to get around this. If you have NEVER put one of these copy protected cds into your drive, you do not have the software on your computer yet. He describes a program you can download and then use it after you put the cd in the drive. If you have inserted one of the cds, the little program is hiding somewhere on the computer and that fix will not work.
You can copy it to Media Player, burn it to a cd, and then load it to iTunes. But.........here you are making copies of copies and are going to lose sound quality. How much and will it be noticable, I have no clue.
Someone on the board said Sony is aware of the uproar and will have a version of iTunes that will be able to import these cds sometime in November (it is actually Apple that is doing I would guess). It all started because Apple refuses to give some kind of code to the large labels so they made the copy protection so iTunes will not recognize the cd (no matter how many time you put it into your drive......believe me I tried over and over on Tuesday until I found the Sony boards by doing a Google).
If this is news to you all, I am glad. If a repeat, sorry but I wanted to make sure all iPod owners (especially those of us with PCs) to be aware of this. There is a small alert near the spine of the jewel case that says "Copy Protected" or something like that and then on the back on the bottom it talks about only being able to use in Media Player.
Some who pre-ordered the disk online did not get the cd with the protection and apparantly some got some copies in retail stores that didn't have it also. I looked at all 400 copies the Christian store I bought it from had and they were all protected. Switchfoot is a Christian rock band but have had tremendous success crossing over into the rock genre.
One last thing, I guess the Dual Disk version will work in iTunes., at least that was the latest I had read.
Here is the link to the Sony Board on this topic and if you all can't find the one post about how to get around this, let me know and I will find it and post it here for you.
http://forums1.sonymusic.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/716102313/m/1331071454/p/1
Good luck. I don't know how to make the links work on this board but you can copy/paste it into your browser window.
Hope this helps some of you,

After using Macs for a number of years at both school and work, I finally ordered an iMac G5 of my own. When the DualDiscs came out I bought a few because I wnated all the content I could get. Attempting to play them on my iMac at work however, proved problematic. The audio side would spin for a few seconds then eject. I was slightly annoyed, but settled for playing the DVD audio versions of the albums as I worked. In my car stereo, the audio would work, but any other player it would not.
When my personal iMac came, I expected the same problem- only the DVD side would play. Imagine my surprise when every DualDisc I attempted to rip (Switchfoot, Bruce Springsteen, Rob Thomas, Ben Folds, The Wallflowers, Oasis, David Gray) in iTunes was read and successfully ripped.
So I wonder this- is it as much a problem with older Superdrives not being able to read the thicker discs as anything else?
Or am I an anomaly

Won't burn or play CDs

Considerable trouble with CDs.
As a preface: iMac (specs below) spent the better part of a month in an "authorized" Apple shop. To upgrade RAM from 256 MB to 2 GB. In what I was told would be a routine process taking no more than an hour, they had "issues," including a "failed" logic board, replacement, failure of that one, again replacement, and supposedly fixing a lot of problems they had with this project. These included things like "kernel panics," frozen screens, applications not opening or suddenly quitting, and on and on.
No its back home .... working perfectly they say,everything "fixed" (by the way, at no charge to me) .... but:
I'm trying to test everything to see if it really works. So far, all things I've tried seem to be working .... except for the following:
Cannot burn or play CDs. When trying to burn: machine makes unfamiliar, odd sounds like buzzing, or clicking; presents a pop-up window saying "song titles cannot be found on-line" (why should they, they're in my iTunes playlists), "do you want to continue?" and then starts to burn using "Track 2, Track 2, etc. Says it will take about five minutes, but the time "increases" during burn to up to 17-18 minutes, then will stop during the process after maybe several tracks show a green check mark. Or, just after inserting the CD, it will show "Checking Media" in window, stop and kick open the CD door, close it, open it again.
When trying to play what it has recorded on the CD, music is corrupted.
When just inserting any precorded CD of mine (CD-Rs)it either will not play, or the music will be sharply distorted, corrupted.
In other words, nothing about the CD aspect seems to be working.
Would certainly appreciate any suggestions, thoughts, advice before I return to the shop.........for what would be the fourth time in the past month.
Thanks in advance

since i do not know the answer and this is in the ipod mini section i would recommend u putting it in the imac section
Sorry

I have uploaded cds in itunes but they wont sync iver to i phone. Can you help

I have uploaded cds to itunes but they wont sync over to iphone. Can you help

Hi,
the question is: does it play unter iTunes on your computer? If yes, then you have to convert the video in an iPad compatible format. You can do that within iTunes. Under iTunes click on the left side on "Movies" and find your video. Select it. Then find in the menu bar "Advanced" and the menu point "Create iPad or Apple TV version". Your computer will do the rest. When finished you should have two versions of the video, the original version and the new iPad version. Feel free to delete the original version, if you don't have any other need for it. The iPad version will play fine on your iPad.
If your original video doesn't play under iTunes, you have to convert it to a Quicktime format first. In this case, please give us more details on the format your original video is stored in.

How do you import copyright controlled cds into Itunes?

Hi
how do you import copyright controlled cds into Itunes?
When i put the cd into my computer, Itunes does not read it like a regular cd. It does not show up in my source list.
I just want to put the songs on the cd onto my ipod.
The cd will play in windows media player and i was able to save the cd as wma files onto my computer, and then i tried to import those files, but Itunes says the file is copyright controlled, and the only way for itunes to import it is with the orignal cd? The original cd was in my D drive the whole time, but it still will not let me import.
I also tried physically looking into the CD for the music files, but those aren't there. The cd is like an enhanced cd where if you look into the drive for files there are no files except for 2 icons. The actual icon the open the player to play the cd and a uninstall icon.
does anyone know how to do this? PLEASE HELP!

I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes. I don't think that is the problem. Music companies have started issuing "copyright controlled" cds now especially on import versions of cds. I have the original cd, but Itunes cannot import it due to the copyright because it is protected. I read the "help" file on the cd, and what it does is you can play it as much as you like, you can make a copy of the cd only 3 times. The copy of the CD is also copyright protected. I have tried Itunes, WMA, Sonicstage, Sonic and etc programs, but nothing has worked.
Hopefully, someone from APPLE will now what I mean about the copyright controlled CDs. I only want to be able to listen to the music on my IPOD. Nothing has worked
