Can't import a CD into iTunes 7.5

Wow, just tried to import a CD into iTunes 7.5 andam completely unable to do it. I tried dragging and dropping, I tried clicking "Import" in the drop-down menu under "File," and nothing seems to work. In my old version of iTunes there was a big obvious button signifying "import." Now I don't know how to do it. Is this simply operator error (me not knowing the command) or is something wrong with my iTunes installation? Appreciating any advice. Thanks.

You seen these?

I can't import any songs into iTunes.

I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.
I have tried the "device filter" regedit fix, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

JohnAndKel,
That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
Any ideas? Thanks!

No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source? It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes. You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them. Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in. They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

Can I import CD's into iTunes from an external Firewire CD/DVD player?

The CD/DVD player on my iMac G4 broke and just wondering if I can hook up a cheap external Firewire CD/DVD drive (with RW capability) to my iMac and still be able to view DVD's and import CD's into iTunes?
Thanks for any answer to this question.
Thanks,
Dave

Yes - connect the ext device - open iTunes - load a CD - it shouold appear in the left most column of iTunes under Devices - rip away.
To use that same ext device to burn then go to iTunes prefs>Advanced>Burning and select it from the drop down menu.

I can't import cda files into itunes from a disc

I have a disc of 7 audio tracks that were recorded on a Mac and burned onto a CD using itunes. I was given this disc but I can only get the audio files to play on a PC. I have tried all methods of importing/copying into iTunes but it doesn't work - iTunes can't see the files. Please can you help?

Can't import .m4r file into iTunes 10.0.6.40

Hi. I have a new iPhone 4S with AT&T (first iPhone ever!) and I'd like to create a custom ringtone. I have an .m4r file that is 29 sec long. I'd like to use it as my ringtone. Should be easy enough, right? I've tried dragging and dropping my file into iTunes, and also tried importing it through the menu, but it won't import. I can double click on it and play it in iTunes, but it doesn't import it into the library. Also, I have no RingTones folder. Do I need to create one somehow, and how would that work?
Thanks!

Okay, I wrote up a tutorial on what I did to make my own custom ringtones so that other newbies don't get confused.

Can't Import mp4 video into itunes for my ipod

I have tried to get video onto my ipod but itunes wont let me import video. I have quicktime 7 pro and have exported my video to ipod and to mpeg-4 and i can't import it into itunes to get it on my ipod.
Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

Did you try just to drag&drop the video onto "Library" in iTunes' left "Source"-column?

How can I import .avi file into iTunes?

I have a bunch of videos, that I can not live with out. They are al in .AVI form. How can I get these into iTunes for watching? Do I need to use Quicktime Pro?

You use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to MPEG-4 and import those. This may require Perian or not be possible.

Can't import folder / files into iTunes

I am trying to import a folder into my iTunes library. I use the File> Add Folder to Library option, navigate to and select the folder, and no songs are added to the library. The song files are .m4a format.
I am a pretty new iTunes/iPod user. If I could figure out how to search on this forum, someone else probably has already asked this qeustion, but it is not obvious to me how to search.
Thanks for any help.

How many files are in the folder? Can you add just one of the files using Add File to library?

I can't import cd's into itunes. CD goes in, my setting is import..CD spins..nothing appears, then 1 minute later the disc is spat out

Hi there. I am trying to import some older CD's into iTunes. I have my preference set on 'import CD and eject'. CD goes in..i hear it spin. nothing appears, then 1 minute later it is spat out. All help appreciated thanks!

Several thoughts:
1) 6 year old computer. Could be a classic case of drive failing. Many do after 4-5 years. There's various things you can try such as a cleaning disc but don't have high hopes.
2) You say "older" CDs. Are these burned CDs? those can go bad with age, particularly if the medium quality wasn't super great to start with. Have you tried a commercially produced CD?
3) I presume the CDs aren't covered with greasy fingerprints from the last pizza party.

Can't import cd:s into iTunes

I repeatedly get an error message when trying to import and convert a cd into iTunes, it says that an error was encountered and that I haven't got the access. "iTunes could not save to your busic folder since you lack the access to the rights of the disc". Please control the rights for the music folder and folders in your music folder. Then try to convert the file again. This suddenly began happening some weeks ago, I hadn't done anything. I've recently tried reinstalling iTunes.
Please help!

Can I Import a Playlist into iTunes 2.0.4?

I have kept my G4 bootable in OS 9.2.2 as well as OS X. Using iTunes v2.0.4 I can "export" a playlist which iTunes v5.0.1 can read by using "import". However, that same playlist seems unuseable on another Mac which also runs iTunes v2.0.4. Additionally a playlist "exported" from iTunes v5.0.1 seems to be unuseable in v2.0.4.
I guess my main point is that v2.0.4 can export a playlist but cannot import one from the same version or higher. Or have I just not found the command for importing a list into v2.0.4?
If you can export a list, shouldn't you also be able to import one?

How can I import .wma files into iTunes???

I have a GPX MP3 player and most of my files are .wma format. When I tried to import or open these files in iTunes, nothing happened. I'm wondering how I can import the .wma files or convert them so I can listen/import them into my library. Thanks.

You can do it on iTunes Windows or get a converter such as EasyWMA - www.easywma.com.
