Can't import songs from CD using iTunes 8.02

I noticed a few (random) corrupted music files following upgrading to iTunes to 8.02, and decided to try reload them from the CD's. The computer would add a few complete songs, but some would not load completely. (I only tried this with one CD, although I noticed songs from different albums were 'corrupt') ) This happened (the clipping) when using both the internal and an external drive.
I checked using another available computer and all of the songs on the CD were added correctly with no clipping, this computer (an Intel MacMini) was still running iTunes 7.7.1 and 10.4.11.
I found instructions how to revert to iTunes 7.7.1 and after 2 tries got it to work, and I was able to import @ 1/2 of my songs from an external drive which had not been used with iTunes 8.x. And also the songs from the CD that were giving me trouble when running iTunes 8.02. Of course I could not reload from +the library+ that was created with iTunes 8.
I'm slowly adding the rest of the tunes by dragging them into the iTunes window, but I would like to know if someone can recommend a good program or script to compare the 2 iTunes libraries so I don't miss reimporting any tunes.
Thank you.

Are these CDs you burned yourself or are the commercial CDs? To get the information on commercial CDs, iTunes connects to an online database so make sure you are connected to the internet when you import. You also have to be connected to use the "Get CD track names" function. If you made the CDs then the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand: See if this helps explain things a bit better than I have: How iTunes remembers Audio CDs

  • Can't import songs from CD to iTunes

    I recently bought this CD and want to import the songs to my library. However, iTunes does not recognize the the CD is even in, and this external player pops up that is part of CD. When I try another way and remove the songs from the CD itself I cannot even find the songs. Can you help me in extracting the songs from the CD?

    No, there is not way around it. I would be returning it to where you bought it as a defective CD. These discs do not even meet book standards because of the copy protection. I would politely explain why you are returning it, that you can not download it on to your system because of the protection. Most of the regular posters in these forums, as a matter of principle, do not buy CC-CD's because the record companies are denying the consumer (us) our fair use rights.
    I will get off of my soapbox, now.

  • Can't import songs from computer to itunes!

    I am unable to add music files to my itunes library. If I click the 'add file to folder', i get the message that the file is not in the wma format and will be converted by itunes. but nothing happens, and the file isn't added. i've alternatively tried dragging files into itunes, but i just cannot seem to add music to my itunes library unless by importing using audio cds.
    Most of the songs are ones I have saved in my music folder, or else burned from a cd onto a different computer and i've saved them onto this computer. but itunes wont recognize them. thanks for your help!

    On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

  • Mac OSX 10.6.8 can't import songs from cd

    When I try to import a cd, only certain songs show up in my iTunes library. During the import process, it appears as if all songs are importing correctly.

    Does it happen with all your CDs?
    If it is only one particlar CD, error correction may be interfering. Try to disable error correction in the iTunes Preferences and try again to rip the CD.
    To turn on error correction when importing songs from CDs:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    In the General pane, click Import Settings.
    Disable “Use error correction when reading Audio CDs.”
    Insert the CD and import the songs again.

    You can't use home sharing to put music on your mobile devices from your iTunes library, you will need to sync them.

  • Can't import songs from music library to itunes!

    I have no problems importing songs from audio cds into itunes, but it won't recognize any of the files that i have in other folders of my computers (in mp3 format). and when i select 'import' and these songs, it just doesn't do anything. any suggestions to help??? thanks!
    dell inspiron 4100   Windows XP  

    Most of them are files burned from an audio CD onto another computer, and then saved onto a USB device and then transferred onto my computer (I no longer have the original CDs, hence the roundabout procedure). some of the files however, are simply from 'my music' folder that i had previously burned onto my computer before installing itunes. i've checked the status of all the files--and none are protected. any suggestions? thanks!
    Reknath, where did these files come from? If there
    were downloads from other websites, they are probably
    protected & that's why you can't get them into iTunes.

  • Can't import songs from iTunes

    I want to import songs from my iTunes library. When I click on the audio button, I can see my library of songs but I can't click and import them. I can drag the photo to desktop and then into iMovie but that feels like Windows.
    I am having similar issues when importing music for slideshows in iPhoto. Maybe it's an iTunes issue?
    Any sugestions?

    I have a similar problem ..but I know what it is . ( the original post here is very old )
    The tracks were deleted .. but the playlist in iMovie never updated to the new playlist.
    I can NOT figure out how to manually update the playlist to reflet the real iTunes library.
    Anybody know?

  • Need to Import songs from Ipod to Itunes

    Hey, so yeah my comp fried itself the other day [hard disk corrupt files issues] and i managed to get it fixed, with a new copy of windows installed. problem is i didnt wipe the hard disk [because many files are ones id rather not lose] and so the other account which was on 'dont share my files' [windows is ******** that way] is completely unaccessable. This means i lose access to documents, settings, and everything on the desktop / user-related files. They're still on my computer, but completely unaccessable , and windows pretends they arent there, because im a 'different user' now. Itunes was part of that. along with my songs folder. So i reinstall itunes, and the ipod registers, though saying it is registered to another itunes library, and i can change it to this one [if i want to wipe all my songs for the nothing that the current library has in it].
    So clearly what i need to do is import songs from the ipod to the itunes library that i have now. This option doesnt seem to exist, ive been looking for it for some time. Any ideas?

    Welcome to discussions! See the instructions from MacMuse on the following link. Once you have recovered your music, I would strongly suggest you institute some type of regualr backup program for your music library.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • How can i import photos from ipad to itunes, how can i import photos from ipad to itunes

    How can I import photos from my iPad to iTunes on my Windows Vista PC?

    I'm puzzled!  I had received a set of jpg files through an e-mail on my ipad.  For reasons unknown to me, they got saved to my (only) album, that had an irrelevant name.  When I tried to change the name of the album, I received a message that I could only change the name of the album after importing them to the computer where (as I recall) iTunes resided.  After much huffing and puffing, I managed to import the photos, to the Windows computer, but they wound up in a Windows Photo Gallery directory, where I put them into an appropriately named album.  Now, how do I get them back to the iPad.  (I also learned, I think, that iTunes will have nothing to do with the photos.

    Hey Adel Andic,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. If your music is already in iTunes, all you have to do is sync your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac by following these instructions, and you should be able to easily get your music on there:

    Can I download songs from a different ipod account onto my ipod without affecting anything?

    Different account or different computer?  It is two completely seperate things.
    While it is possible to have media on the device from multiple accounts it is not possible to sync with multiple computers.

  • Totally lost with iTunes 11 . . . . can't import songs from my Mac etc.?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion a couple of months ago and have just opened iTunes 11.
    I seem to have a handful of items there but cannot remember installing them.
    I have tried importing tunes from my computer by going to File>Add to Library and also dragging and dropping but nothing seems to happen.
    I have also read that you can get the old iTunes look back by clicking the button at the top left of the interface and selecting as appropriate but the only button seems to be the one labeled "Music" by default which has nothing useful underneath it.
    These are 3 of the rather useless layouts I can access.
    Is there something wrong with my iTunes installation or what am I doing wrong?

    It appears that one of the reasons I could not import songs is because iTunes 11 only seems to recognise .mp3 or .aac
    I had been trying to import .caf and .aif
    The old version used to recognise most audio file types and would also convert mot types to another ........... so long as they were .mp3, .aif or .caf
