All files in an album won't import

I recently re-tagged a couple of my albums (Namely my copy of the Final Fantasy X soundtrack) that I had purchased prior to having an iPod. Now, iTunes won't import all the files (They are on the main hard disc, in a folder on my desktop). And with the ones it does, It completely ignores the tagged track numbers (in stead of 1, 2, 3, ... etc.; I get 1,5, 2, 3, 4, 10, 15). All the files in question are in MP3 format. This is incredibly annoying. Is there a solution to this?
Itunes Version: 11.0.2.26
OS: Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1

If the skipping songs are purchased iTMS music, then make sure that you have the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod firmware installed. Then authorize the songs by playing one of them for a few seconds.
If the songs are all imported AAC or MP3 files, then it may be an iPod memory management issue.
Restore Your iPod and reload the music back onto the iPod, from your iTunes.

This one is very strange. One track from album won't import...

I have been trying to import a CD I own for a long time. I'd hoped that getting my new Mac might have solved this problem but...
The CD in question is fine,. it works and imports OK, in totality, in my partners account. It plays fine in my account. However when I try to import the album into my iTunes library every song except for one will import. The one song which won't import is my favourite from the album, sods law. I have tried every which way to import both the whole album and the single track on it's own to no avail.
I can delete the whole album and re-import it. During the import process iTunes tells me the track is being imported and goes through all the motions but when all is said and done the track does not appear anywhere in my iTunes library. Believe me I have searched for it both in iTunes and the Finder and it is not there! If you look in the folder in the Finder for the album every track is there correctly numbered etc. Except track 12 is skipped and ain't there, it goes from 11 to 13.
This is driving me up the proverbial wall. Please if anyone can offer any advice I will be very grateful...
With Thanks in advance...

maybe a long shot but it won't hurt trying:
check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
now try to import the track again.
if still no joy, this might be a workaround:
create a new admin user account on your machine, log into that, fire up iTunes there, and try importing the CD. if it works, move track 12 in the finder to <MacintoshHD>/users/shared.
log out and back into your usual account. in iTunes there, choose +add to library+ and navigate to the shared folder.

Santana -All That I Am CD won't import, way around?

I just purchased the CD, Santana - All That I Am and iTunes won't import it. It seemed like it was importing ok but it skipped like crazy. The CD has some kind of protection that doesn't allow it to be uploaded to iTunes. Does anyone know a way around this.
When iTunes failed, I tried to upload it to my PC under Windows Media (WMA format) and have iTunes convert it to AAC but I just got error messages stating that the music was protected and it couldn't convert.
A CD that won't get imported onto my iPod is pretty much worthless. Be wary of buying this CD unless someone finds a way to fix this situation.

Reviewer: bostonears (Lincoln, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review isn't commenting on Santana's new music, but on the CD, specifically the copy protection. I won't be buying "All That I Am" as long as it is in copy protected form that prevents me from listening to a CD that I PURCHASE on any device that I want to listen to it. I looked at this disc in a store, and the list of copy protection compatibility restrictions reads like warnings for a prescription drug. Among other things, you can only rip the disc on a PC to WMA format with rights management using Windows Media Player, and apparently cannot rip it to MP3 format.
Review:
I have been a huge Santana fan since the very beginning. I have seen the group live twice, and I have owned at least 10 of the albums over the years. But, sorry Carlos, I won't be buying this one as long as it is in this restricted form.
Review
The quality of the recording is very poor particularly after ripping it into itunes. The sound is empty. I would not buy this CD.
/review-Amazon
The only work around I know of is to buy the "album" via the iTunes music store. But if the future of music is to purchase 2 copies of everything, one compressed and one uncompressed, I think you will see much more pirated music. But that's just my opinion.

My iPhone lost all files and the screen won't turn on

I was using my iphone not suddenly all filies have been removed and the screen won't turn on and the phone is charged

How do you know all files have been removed if the screen won't turn on?
You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Files in library but won't import to ipod

I have @8200 songs in my itunes library. When I hooked up my new 60G ipod files transfered fine, although my ipod says I have 8194 songs, it is only using up 28G of space (it is using 42G in my library). I found out why. I went to play some songs on my ipod today and it just scans through all of the tracks on the album and then defaults back to the menu. Some songs play...some don't. When I right click on the song in my library and click get info, it has the right directory address and everything. All the songs play fine in my library, just not on my ipod. All of the songs are listed on my ipod, they just won't play. I have tried updating over and over. I have reloaded itunes software. I have tried consolidating library...nothing works. Any suggestions please?

If the skipping songs are purchased iTMS music, then make sure that you have the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod firmware installed. Then authorize the songs by playing one of them for a few seconds.
If the songs are all imported AAC or MP3 files, then it may be an iPod memory management issue.

.mov files with alpha channels won't import on Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Just FYI, Apple:
This issue with Quicktime not seeing .mov files in Finder (or I should say, not playing them) is a HUGE problem for anyone who edits video.
If you export a file as .mov in After Effects, and have any transparency (RGB+Alpha channels), there is no way to import them into current projects. None.
PLEASE fix this, as I quite enjoy my job, and don't feel like losing it because my client doesn't understand why they can't have lower thirds in their video I'm contracted to do (and subsequently fires me and finds someone on a Windows rig).
Thanks.

What is up!
Based on my tests, it appears that the Mavericks embedded QT structure no longer considers many of the legacy compression formats to be supported under Mavericks. These formats were, by default, turned off under Lion and Mountain Lion which may indicate that Apple intends to drop even passive native support sometime in the future. Files containing Animation or PNG compressed data are no longer QL compatible and now force automatic QT X v10.3 conversion as mentioned above. Even worse, it appears other commonly used fomats like DV/DV in DV and AIC/PCM in MOV are also being relegated to this group. Luckily, DV/PCM in MOV, HDV/PCM in MOV, and ProRes422/PCM in MOV, along with all of my H.264/AAC/AC3/Chapter M4V distribution/iTunes managed files remain fully compatible with both QL and QT X v10.3 under Maverisks. This last is significant for me since many files containing AC3 as the primary audio stream are no longer QL/QT X v10.3 compatible with certain file extensions and/or container types which now appear to be checked in specific situations. Unfortunatly, what we've seen and learned thus far seems to be just the "tip of the iceberge."

Raw files from Nikon d810 won't import

I have LR 5.7 and new Nikon d810. Every time I try to import raw files, it doesn't work. Just stalls, and sometimes even crashes. I've tried different memory cards, a card reader, and importing directly by connecting the camera itself. Please advise.

search in Finder doesn't read the hidden files in the hidden Library AFAIK.
That makes sense, at least as a default (thus the term "hidden" ).
Geoff the kiwi wrote:
However the Go menu in Finder does reveal the hidden Library using the Option key...
Right. *And* there are instructions for doing that in the document here:
Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
*And* some people are saying they followed said instructions (e.g. Uvjjacob in this thread) but still: "ain't no preference file there".
Begging the question: "did they really follow those instructions correctly? if not, why not, and if so, then why no preference file there.."
If I had to guess, I'd say operator error, but I like to give the benefit of doubt, otherwise problem may be swept under rug with the broom of denial.

LR3 treats new CF files as duplicates and won't import

lightroom 3 treats all images from a CF card as duplicates and will not import them directly from my card reader. If I save them to the mac and then drag them into LR3 it works. This is a problem that started suddenly, without explanation. I have also unchecked the box for "Don't Import Suspected duplicates" Any thoughts?

Im not sure, this is just a guess, but Id say your ID3 tags are corrupt. I seen something like this in a post before and there was a program mentioned to "Fix" corrupt ID3 tags. I'll search for it if I can

New Album from Smart Album makes NEW VERSIONS of all files? Bug?

Got what I think is an oddball bug here, but see if any of you have experienced it.
Making a new album of the contents of a Smart Album with about 600 images resulted in the SBOD, a lot of time and disk activity and the creation of NEW VERSIONS of all the files populating the new album. This, of course, also doubled the number of files in the original Smart Album, since the keywords used are a match. First thinking it might be something I had not read in the manual, I grabbed the book and could not find this behavior listed…..so….my expected result is a new album with the identical contents of the Smart Album selected as the source.
I am creating a presentation for a client whose work is in multiple projects in a ~150GB library. All images are heavily keyworded, so making Smart Albums of specific elements of the work was easy. My intended workflow to get through this mountain of pix was to make Smart Albums of specific elements, then make New Albums from each, manually edit and reorg these albums individually, then combine my edits into a single book file.
Now the structure leading to this problem is as follows:
1) I created a single “main” folder to store all projects and other elements and hierarchy for this client. Clicking on this folder returns some 8500 images spanning multiple projects…all as expected.
2) At the top level of this “main” folder, I made about 20 Smart Albums to presort the main elements I wanted to include. I made the first Smart Album by clicking the icon in the top bar. The rest of the smart albums I made by duplicating the previous Smart Album, then changing keyword selection. I would select the new keywords I wanted, then de-select the ones that were from the album I had duplicated. The reason I did it that was for speed, there is little delay in displaying the items that were already searched for, and a significant delay in going from new. Anyway, somewhere in this process, I decided to organize my workflow further, so I created a new folder (calling it Smart Album Selects) at the same level as the Smart Albums, and then dragged the Smart Albums into the new Smart Album Selects folder. Still, no problem.
3) Later in my session, I went to create another new Smart Album, and this time I did so already in the Smart Album Selects folder. When I opened the HUD to select the keywords, the Keyword area and check box were greyed out!!! Weird, I though….so I simply duplicated an existing Smart Album from my Smart Album Selects folder, opened the HUD, and sure enough, all my keywords were there. I changed the keyword selection, and went on with work. During the day I did this same operation 3 more times, making 4 Smart Albums created the same way.
4) OK…here is the strange behavior. To make my new custom album from the Smart Album selects, I selected one of the Smart Albums, and clicked on the New Album icon. Got the expected dialog, make with 1 image or all images, selected all images, and instead of a new album popping up moments later, I got the SBOD, and the Activity Monitor said Aperture and my hard disk was cranking away. About 4-5 minutes later, Aperture became responsive again, and had created a new album. However, upon inspection, the album contained NEW VERSIONS of all the images that were in the Smart Album, about 600 files.
5) I went back and clicked on a different Smart Album in the same spot in the hierarchy…but it was one of the first ones I had created (meaning I built this BEFORE reorganizing into the Smart Album Selects folder). Tried making a new album again, with 1 image, worked fine, popped up instantly. Tried selecting 4 images, same thing, worked fine. Selected All, made album, worked fine.
6) Went back to the Smart Album I had the problem with, this time selected 4 images, make New Album, and sure enough the New Album had NEW VERSIONS of the pix again…OK, I went back to the top of my folder hierarchy, my “main” folder and made a brand new Smart Album by clicking the icon, and selecting keywords. Made a new album from that, no problem, popped up instantly, no new versions.
7) I then re-made all my Smart Albums at the top of the folder hierarchy, and they all work fine creating new albums. I got back to the task at hand…hopefully there is enough data here to let the Aperture engineers find this problem…Assuming, that is it is not just me misunderstanding some element in the program.
Sorry for the length, but has anyone else run into this??

Nope, all the images at this point in my workflow have been unstacked, with the non-picked members of the original stacks discarded.
Now that it seems I am not the only one who has witnessed this behavior, what I am really trying to find out, is what is the definitive proper operation of this according to the Aperture group at Apple.
Assuming I have opened a Smart Album with images displayed, and no images are selected.
Is the correct behavior:
1) Selecting New Album makes a new Untitled Album (very quickly) with the identical contents of the Smart Album....OR...
2) Selecting New Album makes a new Untitled Album (slowly) with NEW VERSIONS of the contents of the Smart Album. (Also, depending upon the number of images, typically brings up SBOD and makes Aperture unresponsive until it is complete.)
Now what I expected to happen was #1, as it is what happens when I select New Album when a project is selected. Given Apple's human interface creedo for intuitive operation, I think this is the most intuitive choice, because I can't think of a good reason I would want to double the number of versions of all files in an album, unless I expressly told the app to do this.
Could an Apple guy provide the definitive answer, please...
Thanks in advance for your help.

HT1819 [Podcast] mix all the imported mp3 files into one Album

Dear Sir,
I need your help of the app [Podcast].
Let me explain my problem.
I enjoying listening to Audiobooks very much.
Everytime I use the iTunes to import some mp3 stories into my iPhone, then change their properties from MUSIC to AUDIOBOOKS. Because I like the convenience of the very two buttons ( 15 seconds of fast backward jumping, and 15 seconds of forward jumping).
But I cannot easily delete those mp3 files that I've just heard. The only way is to erase the whole album in SETTINGS. (I have a bad memory, always forgot which one that I have heard)
Then, I found the app [Podcast], it has all the functions that I need:
one, 15 seconds of fast backward & farward jumping;
two, very convenient (sleeping) timer function;
three, I can easily delete each mp3 file that I've just heard so I know where CAN I continue.
So, I love the app [Podcast], from then on, through the iTunes, I change the properties of my mp3 stories from MUSIC to PODCASTS. It's very easy to operate.
But, then I found something strange: the app [Podcast] mixes every mp3 files together,into one ALBUM, in spite of the ALBUM informations that I defined in EACH mp3 tags.
The app [Music] can classify each ALBUM of those imported AUDIOBOOKS, why can't [Podcast]?
Could you please show me what to do?
Thank you very much.
Yours,
ZJH
[email protected]

This is EXACTLY my problem....and I am disheartened that there is NO reply with fix for this. I need to find another app to use. I like to use the podcast app for audio files so I can listen to them in 1.5x or 2x speed. Frustrated....

I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
Can anyone please help me.

The mystery remains....
Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
Thanks

Aperture won't import DNG files: Panasonic Lumix FZ28

Well, i went to a seminar on aperture and got all excited to use it, downloaded the trial and discovered that it won't import my camera's RAW files (even though it came out 2 years ago and is supported in PhotoShop)
I've tried various way of creating DNG files with DNG Converter (the one that works with PS CS3) but Aperture doesn't recognize those, either. (linear, non linear etc) (Will the CS4 converter do the job?)
Is there anything else I should be trying? Have any of you had success with the same camera and what do you do?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Elizabeth

Yep, that's what I discovered and it's the whole problem with the RAW files, but what about DNG?
I thought converting to DNG might allow them to be accessed: so you're telling me that I'm out of luck and have to stick with PhotoShop?
That dng is not a universal format recognized by Aperture?
I appreciate your input

Ok. So its finally working again. Not sure why, but maybe my experience will help someone else.
All I can say is that I have been trying a relentless combination of mounting and mounting the drive, checking and unchecking the 'copy files to iTunes Library', running 'consolidate library', and everything in between. One of them finally kicked it back into action.
Nice Apple. 9.2.1 isn't buggy at all...that's sarcasm.
