Can't import some CD's into iTunes library

I have the latest verson of iTunes on my MacBook. When I try to import some CD's into the iTunes library, it ejects the CD back out. It doesn't happen to every CD; just some. What is causing this, and how can I import these CD's into iTunes?

Thanks for the suggestion. CD's are clean; no finger prints or dust. Still can't import into iTunes. A little background-- I had iTunes on a PC previously. When I transferred the library to my MacBook, I noticed some CD's were not transferred. This is one of the CD's I had in iTunes on my PC, but is now not in iTunes on my MacBook. Why can I not add this and some other CD's to iTunes on my MacBook?

Can't import QT compatibile videos into iTunes 6

Here is what it says about importing video into iTunes 6 in the Help menu:
You can also watch other QuickTime-compatible videos (for example, files that end in ".mov" or ".mp4") in iTunes. Drag a video into the iTunes window, as you would any song file. Videos have a display icon next to them in the library.
I have tried everything to get a .mov and a .mp4 movie into iTunes and I can't make it happen. Anyone have any luck with this?

I assume these files play fine in QuickTime?
Have you tried Add to Library from the File menu (Command O).
If that doesn't work, try a Save As from QT. You should then be able to import the new file fine.
I did notice that changing the extension (from .mov to .mp4 in my case) rendered the video un-importable. You don't get any feedback from iTunes either - it just doesn't work.
Good luck!

Can't import a single song into itunes

I was trying to import some of my old cd-singles into iTunes, and the column next to the name of the song where the check box should be is not there. I have to import the whole cd and then go back and delete the songs I do not want that *****... Please advise. iTunes 10.2.2 on a mackbook pro 2.4 2010

In iTunes 10.5, if you go into Preferences, under General check "Show list checkboxes". This worked for me.

How can I import mpeg files downloaded into itunes?

How can I import mpeg song files downloaded into itunes?

Where are your MPEG stored?
I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

How can I import an m3u playlist into iTunes that intentionally contains duplicate tracks? I want the duplicates in this case.

For instance, if my M3u file looks like the 2 lines below, only one copy of the mp3 file is imported. I'd like the same track to be imported twice.
Back To Black.mp3
Back To Black.mp3
btw, the reason I'd like this to work is that I use a separater track in playlists between groups of similar tracks. This separater is not being imported correctly as is being unhelpfully recognised as an unwanted duplicate.
Any advice appreciated.

I just did the following.
Created a m3u file with a series of tracks with one entry duplicated.
Made a new empty playlist in a test iTunes library which did not contain the files and dragged the m3u file to that playlist.
It created a duplicate playlist entry for that one duplicated track but of course it points to the same file. If you really want iTunes to duplicate the file you will have to trick it into thinking it is a different file. Using your library management preferences (which are identical to mine) you will have to duplicate the file in Finder so you really do have two files and add it again. Perhaps if iTunes was managing the media it would not behave that way and might add the file twice since dragging to iTunes with default preferences settings just places a copy on the iTunes folder and leaves the original in place, so you'd be dong hte equivalent of dragging twice (I'd have to test to check this since I don't use default settings either). With your settings it just refers to the original wherever it is. Hopefully I've phrased that well enough.

Itunes 12 can't import shared home movie to iTunes library

HI. I am trying to import, or add to my desktop iTunes library, a shared home movie. I have file sharing turned on with both my laptop and desktop. I can see, from my desktop, the shared home movies, and I can even play them, but I cannot find an option to import them into the desktop library. I use my desktop to sync my iPad and ultimately I want to add the movies to my iPad. How do I import a shared home movie from my laptop to desktop, not just see it and play it from sharing?

Join the crowd. If you search this and other forums on the web, you'll find that Home Sharing has limited functionality on PC and Mixed PC-Mac networks. It works fine, Mac to Mac, it appears, but PC's seem unable to talk to Macs or one another on many, many, many people's home shared networks. I hope that Apple finds a way to improve this aspect of iTunes or at least expands its troubleshooting recommendations in the support database.

Can I import (MUSIC.wma) in my iTunes Library, for my iPod?

Can I import (MUSIC.wma) into iTunes for an iPod Touch? I know somethinig about formating that may just ignore the import, see my grandmother had got an iPod, and she not only want's her CD's on it, she just wan'ts to know if she can play her windows music collection, with the extention .wma into iTunes . . . if any of you all know if it's possible without having to use any particular third party application please feel free to answer . .

I think so. iTunes' help says that iTunes can convert WMA files to other formats. The iPod supports:
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

Can't import ripped video files into itunes

I stupidly made a copy of itunes - the entire directory structure - to a new external drive by simply dragging all the directories to tne new drive. this seems to have broken something because now i cannot import ripped vid files from external source and the movies & tv files i bought from iTunes store are also unplayable. Any idea on how to fix this?
I tried using the original library but that seems broken too. luckily all music files are accessible, mainly because i ripped them from purchased CDs.
help, please

took a little time to check - the directory structure looks ok altho the music directory is a little screwy - iTunes Music holds artist names wirh albums below, but there is also a generic "music" directory that has a few artist directories that are duplicates of the abovementioned artist directories; not necessarily in a consistent manner. no rhyme nor reason that i can discern, yet.
the original problem remains - i get no response when import ripped dvd (m4v format). no response as before i made the copy - no indication that the import is happening and no movies show up on the movie tab in itunes (and no movies in itunes movie directory).
similarly, downloaded tv progs also don't play in iTunes are are not in a recognized format by Front Row ("format not recognized")
help, please!

Can't import some Quicktime files into FCP X 10.0.5

I'm new to FCP X. Trying to import Qiicktime files from hard drive and keep getting "no supported files" dialog box. Or sometimes it imports audio only.
Only once was I successfully able to import video files. All of the files were originally created on a Power PC G5 from old 8mm movie footage transferred to VHS
tape. All worked fine on older versions of FCP. And all files play ok with QT Player on my new iMac running OS 10.9. Baffled.

Sorry I get it now. Here is a screen shot of one of the clips that won't import.

I have already imported some CDs to my iTunes library, why can't I put these CDs on my iphone?

I already have the CDs on my iTunes. It wont let me put these CDs on my iphone 4. It wants me to restore my iphone which I don't want to do.

What does "it" want you to restore your iPhone?
What if any error messages are appearing on the device?
