"Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet" not working

I'm about to begin re-ripping all my CDs (400+) which I haven't done since at least 14yrs ago in order to take advantage on newer/better formats. I was excited to see that iTunes can automate a lot of this process with the following two options:
- When you insert a CD: (Import CD and Eject)
- [ ] Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet
Found in the "Playback" settings of iTunes 10.1.1
However after inserting my first CD, I noticed it started to import without downloading the track names first. Obtaining track names manually is working for me because if I choose "Advanced -> Get track names" it accesses Gracenote DB and works fine.
It's just the automatic operation after inserting a CD that is not working. This causes me to have to:
1) Insert CD
2) Choose "Advanced -> Get track names"
3) Click "Import CD"
4) Eject
as opposed to the one supposedly promised step of "Insert CD" and have the other 3 things happen automatically.
I've tried deleting my iTunes plists in my ~/Library/Preferences/ folder but it still works the same.
Any suggestions?

You can seach the Gracenote site directly. I don't know if that would help you decide which option you needed to use.

Can't automatically retrieve CD track names after upgrade to 9.0.2

I can't automatically retrieve CD track names from Internet after upgrade itunes to 9.0.2. Is it a bug for this update or I did something worng. I am using macbook pro with 10.5.8. Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. The MP4 files are valid and I'm using the same application to create them as I always did. I drag the MP4 file to itunes and nothing happens. If I use "Add File" or "Add Folder" nothing happens. If you find a fix, let me know because this is a major impact to me as well!

RDP from internet not working in Hyper-v VMs

Hello .
Sorry for my english .I hope to explain clearly my problem .
I 've Hyper-v on Windows 2008 server r2 . I've 3 Virtual networks ( External , Private and internal ) .
In my VMs there are two domains . The first one is bound with internal Vn and the second is bound with private Vn. My Host RRAS is configured to switch inbound connection RDP (3389) to a second RRAS (Virtual machine bound with private network) . Last
RRAS does port forwarding correctly to the machine for RDP connection ( port 3389) request .
RDP works only from host and VMs but not from internet in private vn.
RDP from internet connects but when try to configure session disconnects . Any ideas ?
Netstat says "SYN-RECEIVED" then disconnects .
All other services work fine (http mapped between RRAS host and RRAS vm i) and RDP works in private virtual network from internet . I think the problem is nat over nat for port 3389 in internet connection . I've tried to disable firewall but
not works .
Thanks

Also add firewall exception "from" any or specific ip "inbound" "to" whichever destination.
To truly test, you ca disable firewall, if it allows rdp session, then you know it is something with firewall.
Remember sometimes antivirus software includes firewall., and in the case of home routers, they have built-in firewall, and Windows also has firewall, so you must be sure to check ALL possible locations of firewall blocking and dropping (even server-to-server).
Basically you would be allowing inbound from your router, NATted through (or routed through) your network, to the destination or allowing inbound from server to server. Also
double check that your server NICs are not having any additional 2nd DHCP interfaces, if so, disable the secondary DHCP NIC and test again. And do:
traceroute
From Internet to the server having the issue and from server to server and it may uncover more details of where things are getting dropped.
I have heard also some ISPs may also try to block inbound RDP or 3389, so be sure and verify that as well.
Please mark as answer if I helped solve your issue. Thank you.

PDF Report from internet not working in XP, works in Win7

I have a report that I'm generating from a website. If I try to generate the report in WinXP, I get either "Cannot display webpage", even though my ping to that website never goes down, or the page just sits there blank. If I nagivate away from the page, I get a "Navigation tot his page has been canceled" message. I have let it sit there upwards of an hour.
If I try the same steps in Win7, the report pulls up within seconds with no issues.
I have made sure the same add-ons are enabled/disabled. I have made sure to allow add-on's from the website. I have made sure that both machines have the same version of Adobe Reader with all of the available updates.
I am at a loss for what to try. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Could you please provide more information about this issue.
What is version for Reader you are using ?
What is version of IE ?
Can you please try with Reader version XI.

Deepak

I'm getting this error message: "User not registered for online use" when i'm trying to download music/ track names from a CD into ITunes on my Windows 8 PC. I'm registered and my itunes account/ appleID are all correct and working.

I'm getting this error message: "User not registered for online use" when i'm trying to download music/ track names from a CD into ITunes on my Windows 8 PC. I'm registered and my itunes account/ appleID are all correct and working.

The ""not recognized for on-line use". error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure. If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes.

Itunes doesnt grab the track names from Cd's

It used to, but iTunes no longer gets the track names from a CD when I attemp to import. It recognizes the CD name, but not the individual songs. They show as "Track 01", "Track 02", etc... I then try to get "get track names for CD's" through iTunes and it says, "unable to connect to the CDDB server".
any help?

iTunes actually does not get the track names from the CDs themselves. iTunes instead connects through the Internet to the Gracenote CDDB server and gets the album and track information from there. So when you import a CD, your system needs to be connected to the Internet. If it's not, that's your problem.
If it is connected to the Internet, check your firewall(s) to make sure that that the CDDB site (gracenote.com, at least) is allowed in the firewall settings.
For more information, look for "gracenote" or "CDDB" in the iTunes Help.
Hope this helps.

How to retrieve the parameter names from a JSP page ? Urgent Please

Hello,
Can anybody tell me how to retrieve the parameter names from the JSP
page. (without using getParameterNames() method.)
The problem with the getParameterNames() method is I get the Jumbled output.
I need it very badly
With regards
Ananth R
email:[email protected]
[email protected]

Dear duffymo,
My primary intention is to convert the JSP form information into a XML file.
If I do not get the Parameter names in the correct order how can I maintain
tag order in XML file.
For ex: (JSP PAGE VIEW)
Name--
FirstName
MiddleName
LastName
Address--
Street1
Street2
City
Country
&so on
(XML File to be generated)
<Name>
<FirstName>Value</FirstName>
</Name>
<Address>
<street1>value</street1>
</Address>
& so on
If I use getParameterNames() to get all the parameter names(Which form the tag names in the XML file ) the Enumeration object it returns will not be in the same order as the text fields in JSP.From this I can not construct a meaningful XML file.
order means: Order of entry on the page, from top to bottom
That's it
Waiting for your responses

Fix for getting track names from GraceNote.

Finally found a Windows fix for getting iTunes to get track names from GraceNote (see below). It works!!!
Fixing iTunes CDDB lookup - more details
Since Apple’s forums don’t seem to support permalinks, the hint I previously posted about fixing iTunes for Windows’ connection to CDDB isn’t complete. Here’s how to reestablish connection to CDDB if your track lookups start failing:
Quit iTunes for Windows.
In Internet Explorer, go to Tools | Internet Options, click on the Connections tab, and click on the LAN Settings button.
In the dialog that follows, uncheck the checkbox about using a proxy. Hit OK, then OK again.
Open RegEdit and look for the following key: HKEYLOCALUSER\Software\CDDB\Control\2.0. Delete this key.
Open iTunes and insert the CD. iTunes should now be able to connect to CDDB again—at least, until it forgets again later...
If necessary, reenable your proxy settings.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP). I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. All other apps can use the mic. Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.

I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

How to Retrieving Mandatory Filed name from Tcode.

Hi,
I need to retrieve mandatory field names from tcode like (mm01) using abap programming..
How to find that field name is mandatory?
Thanks and Regards,
Meena

Hi Meena,
I guess you need to manually find it out and make z-table which can be used for further logic.
Once you have table for required fields, you can even add/remove any field depending on your requirement.
I also faced the same issue and we maintained it in ztable as follows.
MANDT
FIELDNAME
STATUS
For STATUS , create fixed domain values as "REQUIRED", "HIDDEN", "GRAYED OUT".
I hope this will help you.

Airport: Internet not working

Airport has self assigned IP address and will not connect properly to the internet. Have tried manually entering the IP address from another computer on the same network but still cannot connect to the Internet...Any advice/suggestions much appreciated

My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .
