Autoplayback of imported tracks no longer an option?

i used to be able to click to import a cd and have it play back the tracks that I have imported automatically. If I imported several discs in a row, it would play the tracks in order. Was this option removed from Itunes? If not, how do I get it back? This is one way that I ensure that the tracks have been imported properly and was nice after I went and bought 4-5 cd's.

I know there is a work around for this on Macs...

Combine tracks no longer an option

When I import audio books from CDs, I combine all the tracks on the CD into one for a number of reasons. I put the disk in, stop the import, select all the tracks, select the "combine tracks" option from the options menu and then click "Import CD". I have done this numberous times successfully until the latest import.
This approach worked fine for the first eight discs but on the ninth, the combine tracks menu item was not there. I tried a music CD and got the same result. I quit and restarted iTunes - same result. I restarted the computer - same result. I put in a CD that I had previously combined tracks and imported. I selected all the tracks and the un-combine option was available under the options menu. I un-combined the tracks and then tried to combine them again, but the combine tracks option was not there.

Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated.

Select the CD and sort on the very first with the numbers.

Creative MediaSource Organizer hangs while importing tracks to PC Music Libr

I purchased a NOMAD Jukebox Zen 60GB sometime ago and I finally got into putting my music into it. I downloaded and installed Creative Media Source version 2.03.29. I have all my music files in a folder in my roommates desktop computer available on our home network, because my laptop hard dri've is not big enough to store all files. I click on the Import button and select Import Tracks, and the Creative Import Wizard dialog pops up. I select the mapped network dri've where all my music files are and click Add Folder, and the wizard correctly finds all my music files and lists them on the list on the right side.
First time I tried this, I tried importing all my music which meant it would add 000 files. I clicked Continue and the wizard displayed "Gathering files info and checking file existence in PC Mucis Library..." with the progress bar moving a little. The farthest the progress bar got to was under the th of the "Gathering..." Since I think I have a lot of music files, I waited for about 5 hours but the progress bar did not move further. I checked the task manager, the Applications tab said Creative Import was Running, and the Process tab indicated that the CTImport.exe process was using 98% CPU. I tried other times importing less music (5000 files, 000 files, as low as 500 files), and the progress bar seemed to move a little further with lower number of files, but I was still feel I waited longer than I should have and the process did not finish (I think I waited half-hour to an hour for 500 files). My laptop is not slow or very old, I use video conferencing applications and etc without a problem. Is this a known issue, any suggestions on how I can load my music to my PC Library to download to my jukebox player?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Thanks everyone for the replies. Allow me to add more information and make some more comments. I did try doing in batches. The?smallest number of songs I had tried was 500 and that seemed to?hang. I then tried 250?and that?worked at first. I got all excited, I would do them all 250 at a time if necessary, but when I tried importing the next 250 files?it got "stuck". Probably in the same place that it did when I tried 500 together.
This might suggest a corrupt tag/file. See if you can narrow down where it is and then analyse the file with something like MP3 Library.
But SSR suggestion made me realize that I can add the track/files without using the import feature, by just dragging and droping from My Computer mapped dri've. It looks like I can add the files to the PC Music Library or the MP3 directly by drag and drop. I was hoping to use the PC Music Library first, so that I could fix files that are not tagged properly, rate some music,?set the Genre (I have a lot of foreign music, so I could differentiate them by nationality in the Genre), etc and them I could also use when transferring to my memory based/jogging mp3 player as well. But it looks like I might be able to fix the tags directly on the player as well (I have a feeling this might be slower, take more time). I can drag single items (I'll do one by one if that's what it takes), but I saw that I can also drag multiple items (so that will cut down manual labor). I just hope that it won't get stuck once I get close to droping the 500th item. I didn't get a chance to try because I had to come to work, I'll try later and let everyone know.
Don't edit the files on the player. If you copy the files back to the PC the changes will be lost unless you use a special update feature in MediaSource 3.

Import is no longer on the file menu after upgrade to 10..what gives?

After ex[eriencing some issues with a previous version of Firefox on my Mac I switched to Safari. I still prefer Firefox and decided to switch back after recent upgrade to 10.0.
I would like to import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, however 'import' is no longer listed under the File menu.
So how do I import bookmarks now?

Hi jrmahlst,
You should try hitting ''Command + Shift+B'' to open the bookmarks menu. Then you can click on the star shaped menu item to find your import/export options.
The [[Importing bookmarks and other data from other browsers]] Knowledge Base article will give you more detailed information.
Hopefully this helps!

Hi,
You will have to enter SLD server and NWDI server if they are located on different server.
If they are on the same server. Try following thing.
1. Close NWDS
2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<UserId> and delete .dtr and .dtc folders created.
3. Open NWDS and try importing now.
OR.
Go to DTR perspective.
Choose DTR-> Create Client from the menu option.
Enter details of the client and save.
Try importing.

Where is button to import tracks from CD?

I have put CD into drive and nothing came up and I couldn't find the button that is supposed to import tracks from a CD either. Can someone help please?

When you insert a CD there should be an icon for it in the sources list.
If you don't see that then see HT203242: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install (Formerly TS2308)

Can't import tracks from an older version of iTunes

Since my rMBP has no optical drive I've found a practical use for my old G3 iMac which is for ripping CDs.
The G3 of course is only running iTunes 7.6 (the newest version available for G3 Macs) whereas my MBP is running the latest version.
I've shared the iTunes Library on the G3 and can access it on my MBP, and can even play tracks, but there is no Import button at the bottom of the window so I can't import the ripped tracks into my MBP iTunes. This works fine if I use my wife's MBP (my old one) which is also running the latest version of iTunes.
Have I missed a setting on the G3, or is this a limitation due to the big difference in iTunes versions?
I'm ripping to Apple Lossless if that matters.

Limnos wrote:
How did you share this library? If you're talking about what iTunes has, there is a difference between Home Sharing which is a feature of newer iTunes and enable copying fo files, and plain music sharing which older iTunes had but only allowed music to be played.
Ah, thanks, that will be it.
Guess that means I can't use my G3 for doing this. Oh well, not to worry.
Limnos wrote:
You say, "This works fine," but "this" is vague. Do you mean Home Sharing from your wife's Mac to yours? If so, then yes it will work because they are both capable of Home Sharing.
Yes, "this" meant importing tracks from the Library on my wife's MBP

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

Error When Importing tracks from a CD

Hi,
Using the latest version of iTunes (5.01), whenever I try to import tracks from a CD into my library, I get a popup from the OS that says:
"Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied"
The popup has the word "Desktop" in the upper left portion of the frame.
The tracks import just fine, so this appears to be nothing more than an annoyance, but I'd still like to understand what is causing this problem. Has anyone else seen this popup and been able to address its cause(s)?
I had not seen this problem until I upgraded to iTunes 5.0.
Thanks,
Robert

When importing tracks from a CD to iTunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported or shown on the list. How can I import the missing three?

When importing tracks from a CD to ITunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported. How can I display and import the missing three? Thanks.

It depends on eaxactly what is wrong with the old laptop. If you're lucky the drive can be extracted and connected to a new computer to extract the data. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Bonjour no longer an option

Hi there,
This morning I received a new cable modem from Shaw, my ISP. Since I received the new modem, though, I've had great difficulties with what once was a problem-free setup.
My cable modem is plugged into a D-Link Ethernet switch. Both my Airport Express and my G5 are then plugged into the switch. I have a Canon printer plugged into the Airport Express, and I use the Airport Express to access the internet with my MacBook Pro.
Before I received the new modem, I had been able to easily transfer files and print from both computers to the Airport Express-connected printer. However, with the new modem, I now have to have the Airport Express set to distribute IP addresses in other for it to connect to the internet. As a result, I can no longer easily connect my machines or print from the G5 via Bonjour. If I disable 'Distribute IP addresses' then I can once again print and share files, but not access the internet with my laptop.
Does anyone have any idea what the solution might be?
Thanks!
Christopher
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3Ghz and MacBook Pro 2Ghz (Core Duo) 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Is the G5 wireless?
If not I suspect that you were drawing two IP addresses from your ISP and this is now no longer an option.
You need to ensure that your cable modem is connected to a router, to which you can then share the single IP address from your ISP with the multiple devices on your network.
Your Airport Express can be configured as a router, but as you have found no way of connecting wired clients.
Either get a router with two LAN ports or make the G5 wireless.

How can I change the tempo of an imported track in GarageBand 10.0.1?

Hi - I am trying to change the tempo of an imported track in GarageBand. I am very new to this and need basic help! My son was able to change the tempo on his older version of GarageBand but we can't seem to do it on my version 10.0.1. Thanks.

Stuttering Sound at the Beginning of Each Imported Track

I'm using the internal DVD drive on my PowerBook G4 to import songs from CD to my iTunes library (located on my internal hard disk). Often times, the tracks I import will have a half-second stutter at the beginning when I play them back. I'm importing in AAC format at a high bit rate (320 kbps). I've tried this at lower bit rates with no luck. I've also tried using error correction, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
What's interesting is that this doesn't happen *every time* I import a CD. For example, I recently bought the Beatles stereo remasters and imported four of the disks the other day. No skips, no problems. The next day, I imported four more disks, and *all four* disks had skips on just about every track (except the first track—the first track is always OK).
I thought it might be that I was running too many applications at once, and maybe that's what was interfering with the import process. Restarted the machine and opened up iTunes only—nothing else—but the stuttering problem persisted.
(For the record, I don't think it's a problem with the disks either. I have no problem importing tracks using my iMac.)
Any idea what's causing this or, more importantly, how to stop it from happening?
- Keith

Re-import one of the of the problem CDs in a lossless format, such as AIFF or Apple Lossless. Play a little to verify that the tracks are good. Then use iTunes to convert them to AAC.
Verify that those new tracks are good, and if so, you can then discard the lossless versions and keep the AACs.

Imported tracks crash iPod 4th after track finishes playing.

Imported tracks are converted music files from .mp3, I used Roxio Sound editor to 'enhance' the bass because these tracks otherwise playback faint compared to more recent tracks.
Note: This crash does not happen with all similarly converted and enhanced music tracks, but it is consistent with the 2 out of 10 songs so far.
I am planning to wipe the memory clean, but wanted to see if there are any other known solutions.
Thanks!

Hello there, German1.
The following Knowledge Base articles provide some practical and informative steps for how to bring content into iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
and
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347
From the "Adding music and other content to iTunes" article, this information in particular may prove useful:
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
