Can't import cds onto itunes without computer crashing/shutting down

hi, everytime i try burn cd's onto itunes my computer either freezes or appears to shut itself down but seems to be still running, i had a similar problem when playing computer games, after a while the whole system would appear to shut down but would be still running (the screens black and nothing can be done until i literally turn it off at the plug then reboot). I think its the converting into "AAC" files it has problems with but im not sure. But if anyone can help me with this problem itd be great, cheers. (p.s. here are my computer specs.)

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

ITunes causes computer to shut down

Every time I open iTunes my computer shuts down within 60 seconds. Sometimes I can turn it right back on and there isn't much of a problem but often it won't turn back on for atleast 30 minutes. I'm pretty frustrated and I need someone's help.

It stops at about 70% and freezes there for 10 mins. or so and then my computer shuts down.
Are you getting any sort of blue screen when the PC shuts down? If so what text and alphanumeric codes is it showing? (eg 0x0000007E?)
If it is showing a specific file name too (for example, ati3duag.dll) let us know what that is called too. Precise spelling please.

Updating or installing new iTunes causes computer to shut down

I have tried several times to update my iTunes and get through to where it says it is validating install. It stops at about 70% and freezes there for 10 mins. or so and then my computer shuts down. I tried removing iTunes and QuickTime and downloading again but the same thing happened. All MS updates are installed.

Does PSE 10 save files automatically if my computer crashes/shuts down suddenly?

Hi, I was drawing out the base lines for a painting I am making with Photoshop Elements 10, when I left briefly. I think my computer decided it wanted to do updates suddenly, and it shut down everything. When I rebooted my computer and re-opened PSE 10, I couldn't find the file. Of course, I'm an idiot and neglected to "save as" before I left the room because someone in my house required my immediate attention.
Does PSE 10 save your project at all if suddenly your computer shuts down or crashes? If so, then how to I find those files? Or am I screwed? Because I liked how it was turning out and I had spent a lot of time to get to the point I was at before my computer decided it hated itself. So, I'd really like to get that file back...
Thank you.

No, unfortunately there is no autosave in PSE.

Can't import CDs into iTunes

This is a repeat of a problem that I reported back in Oct, but never got any solution. When I first installed iTunes on this computer I was able to copy a CD into iTunes with no problem. Since that time I haven't been able to copy another CD. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, then installed the latest versions with no change in performance.
I really would like to change the tunes on my iPod before it wears out.

How can I import from a camcorder without it breaking it down into clips?

I want to archive all my old camcorder tapes before the hardware breaks or becomes obsolete. If I use iMovie10 it breaks the video down into lots of clips and doesn't even store them in the right sequence. Is there any way to switch this off and just create a single file of the whole tape? Google seems to show it used to be possible but on v10 there seem to be only two options under Preferences - speed adjustment and iCloud. Failing that on iMovie is there a Mac equivalent to Scenalyzer out there at all?
Thanks

One thing that I have noticed is that Apples built-in camera is optimized for Face Time, so it sometimes captures at 30 frames per second, but if there is not a lot of motion in the frame, it might use 12 or 15 frames per second. So it has variable frame rates. This is great for FaceTime, but not so great if you are trying to keep the audio in sync.
The way to fix this is to use QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip to save the movie out with identical specs except to specify 30 frames per second (or 25 in a PAL country).
I wonder if you are running into a similar problem in QTPlayer. If it is making a variable frame rate movie, you could fix it by dragging the movie into MPEG Streamclip and exporting as the same kind of movie, but with a fixed 30 fps frame rate. MPEG Streamclip is free and quite useful for stuff like this.
Just a thought.
Right now my QuickTime Player is hanging so I can't test to see if you could set the frame rate directly in QuickTime Player X.

How to I import video into imovie without it randomly shutting down and only importing 30 seconds of video?

I have already tried restarting computer, checking memory, restarting imovie, and this is not the first time this has happened. Please help with this problem.

I'm not sure how to fix your problem, but you may want to post in the iTunes forum that fits your issue, as you may get more help in there.

Hi,can I burn my own cds onto itunes?

Hi,can I burn my own cds onto itunes? please

You don't "burn" CDs into iTunes.
You can copy, rip or import the music on a CD into your computer, using iTunes. iTunes will then list all the music you have on your computer.
It is possible to create a Playlist in iTunes and burn a copy of the music in that Playlist onto a CD.
So what exactly are you trying to do?

I got a new laptop and I can't sync all my music onto iTunes without iTunes saying it will erase my songs on the phone, how do I fix this to where I can put all my music on my laptop?

Computer shuts down when importing CDs to iTunes! HELP PLEASE!

Every time I try to import a CD onto iTunes, my computer shuts down. It will let me import one song at a time with no problem, but when I try to load a whole CD, the power just shuts off. Can someone out there who knows about computers please help me?

Do you have a dual core or dual processer? Sounds like it. Read this it should help you out.
Oh nm they changed the article to say they fixed the bug with the newest release from yesterday. Go download the latest version that came out yesterday and see if it helps you your PC. You probaly do have a dual processor. The new iTunes fixes that importing CD bug.

I can't import my music on my computer to iTunes?

I have a few albums of music in .mp3 format on my computer, but I can't import them into iTunes. When I try to drag it in, nothing happens, and trying to import it through the import menu prompts a sound (that three-toned Apple sound) and nothing happens. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

It could be a permissions problem if you've moved a drive from one computer to another.
See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.
iTunes may also fail, without error, to import mp3 files with certain internal inconsistencies. See mp3val for a repair tool.
Lastly, if the files are not properly tagged, they could have been imported to the Unknown Artist/Unknown Album area of the library rather than being where you expect to find them. .

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.
