Can't import full track from CD, only first few seconds

Please help. I'm at my wits' end on this.
I bought an iPod Nano yesterday. I installed iTunes on my PC. My PC runs Windows XP. I Put a CD in the CDROM. Up came a list of 20 tracks with the correct lengths (all 3 minutes or so long.)
I then tried to import them and all I got was about the first 12 - 15 seconds of each one. When they transfer to the iPod itself, each track sounds OK for the first 12 - 15 seconds, then stops.
I have tried this with several different CDs from different bands, and different publishers. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I have tried importing by three methods:
1) Using the big "Import from CD" button, top right.
2) Dragging and dropping the CD icon onto the Library icon.
3) Highlighting and dragging and dropping the tracks onto the library icon.
I went back to the shop and the man there demonstrated the process, and he did exactly what I do, and it worked. He suggested I should uninstall/reinstall.
I went to a different shop for a second opinion. They also said uninstall/reinstall.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still I find I can only get the first 15 seconds or so of each track.
I have looked at every option on every drop down menu and can find nothing that appears relevant.
I am now banging my head against a wall in desperation.
Please help.
Mike

How frustrating, your cute little nano won't play!
OK, what options do you have checked on iTunes > Edit >prefrences > Advanced > Importing?
If you check off the option for "Use error correction when importing CDs" will it work?
Also you might try reading some posts over on the importing & burning forums, the CD experts hang out over there. They will probably want to see the results of your iTunes > Help > Run CD Diagnostics ....

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

Can i import a track from hotmail on my iphone straight into garageband

Hi,
I've searched but can't see this covered anywhere....my friend and I both have garageband on our iphones and send each other tracks via hotmail.
Is it possible for me to open the track from my phone and import it straight into garageband also on said iphone?

import to Itunes then drag to GB

CS4 v4.1.0 some vob files import only first few seconds

I have a mini-DVD camcorder that creates vob files which I wish to edit in Premiere Pro CS4 v4.1.0.
I find that there are four .vob files on the DVD, one is a chapter index, the other three compose what I recorded.
I am able to import all of the latter three, however, only the middle one includes the full track of 16 minutes. The first and last one import as only about 10 seconds instead of the seven minutes each is.
I tried to work around using DGIndex.exe and MeGUI Modern Media Encoder for the other two, but this only gives me the video, without the audio.
So, either I need a way to rip the audio off the two vobs and hopefully not mess up the lip sync too much or to get the vob files to import correctly into Premiere Pro.
Any help appreciated. This is Windows XP SP3.
Thanks.

Well, there are VOB's, and then there are VOB's. Being a Video Object, they can contain a lot of "stuff." This ARTICLE will give you a bit of background.
Dag's suggestion is one that many use and the conversion program gets high marks from many users.
Good luck,
Hunt

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black but I can see the arrow (pointer). And only after few seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down.

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?

Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
Open Console.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

A few songs that I downloaded in iTunes and downloaded from cloud to my computer say they have downloaded in full but in fact only a few seconds play, is there a way to redownload from cloud for purchases that have already been downloaded?

Can I redownload purchases that my iTunes Store thinks have already been downloaded to my computer?

If you need to redownload your previous purchases from the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:

XMMS only plays the first few seconds of each... [solved]

Hi
I have no clue where to start looking:
I have XMMS running and installed the xmms-cdparanoia package.
From within xmms, I can browse to /mnt/cd, where the content of my audio cd is displayed (nothing in /media or anywhere else). I add all the files to the play list, but when I try to play them from there, only a few seconds (1 to 6, depending on the track) gets played.
If I try to play the same track several times in succession, the part that get played is always the same length. If I try another track and come back to the previous one, it still gets played for the same length of time as before....
I can play mp3 from thye same drive, or saved to the hard drive without any problem.
Anyone got an idea of where I should start looking? A Wiki search didn't throw anything (that I could see), same for the forum....
Thx
Damien

There is a CD drive and a DVD drive in that puter, though I can only plug one of them at a time. I get the same thing with both. Tried several CDs. They were all commercial audio CDs (ie, not copies), with no DRM. There are no visible scratch on them.
Also, the fact that I get the same issue in Xubuntu, seems to exonerate Xmms....
The fact that I can find the content of the CDs in /mnt/cd has more to do with the fact that this is where my fstab sets it to be (if I understand that process properly:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

Noob here, so not 100% certain, but isn't DMA (that's the Direct Memory Access, that you are reffering to, right?) ennabled by default in the Arch stock kernel? If not, how is it ennabled?

Can you import video directly from a video camera ?

Can you import video directly from a video camera to the iPad 2 ? If so, what is needed?

I would say no. I have an Ipad2 with the connection kit. A recent Sony camera which works fine in imovie for my 27" imac, but nothing with the Ipad. Only thing that it finds are pictures that can be made with the same video camera. Apple wrote a note aboit probkmes with importing, but i'm very disappointed with what i have right now.

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

Can I import movies originating from video's that were put on a DVD import into IMovie?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

When importing from CD, iTunes only imports the first few seconds

Hi,
Does anyone know why when I import a CD into iTunes it only imports the first few seconds of the track rather than the whole track? How can I fix this?
Thanks
Jimmy

Jimmy, What happens when you rip the same CD with a different program on the same computer, such as Windows Media Player?

Only a few seconds of each song gets imported from cd.

it's worth checking through the usual suspects first. (the upgrade may have "outstripped" your current hardware/OS/driver setup.) Start with:

Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?

Can I import a menu from Premiere elements 7(the Popcorn menu) into Encore CS4?
If so how do I accomplish this act?
Are their additional menus available for Encore CS4?

The Menus in PrE are in Menu Sets. Each set is a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. As PrE does the authoring semi-automatically, there are many "extras" in those PSD's, in the Button Layer Sets. All you have to do is make a Copy of your two Menus into a separate folder, so that you do not worry about messing up your Menu Sets in PrE. I'd do this in a new sub-folder in the Encore Library folder hierarchy. Then, Open each of these two Menus in PS. Go in and clean out all of the other languages for the Text and Button Text. Match the Layer Set/Button Layer Set names to those naming conventions in the Encore Library Menus, as you will not be getting any semi-automation. Where you do not need, say a Next Button, just eliminate that Button's Layer Set. Remember, PrE will do this semi-automatically, plus will give you the number of Scene Selection Menus, that your Project calls for - Encore will not. You must count the Scenes, divide by the number of Buttons on that Scene Selection Menu, and do Copies of that Menu, to accommodate what you require.
As for Encore, it comes with a full compliment of Menus, Buttons, and other Assets, like EM files (Templates), with Motion and Audio Assets. All can be completely customized in PS. Note: in PSElements, I do not believe that you can create Layer Sets, so that will be a limitation. The full PS has no limitations, with the single exception that to change Button Sub-picture Highlight colors, this must be done in Encore's Menu Editor, unless it's been added to PS CS5.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - remember, work on Copies of the two Menus in the PrE Menu Set, and NOT on the originals, or you will be doing a Repair Install to get those back.
