Cannot import music from cd

itunes 11.4 (18) / Mac os x 10.9.5
For some reason, itunes has stopped importing music from music cd's. It will recognise the cd, download the track names, but when I go to import the songs, the import process just skips through the tracks, witout actually importing the music. The my iTunes library will then show that music is in there, but the tracks are all between 10-80kb and contain no music.
wondering if anybody else is having this issue And / or knows how to rectify it?

Hello Josh,
So with songs not importing I can think of two troubleshooting options. The first is change the way iTunes imports the songs; either MP3 or AAC format should work. If that still does not work then I would look at the second article for troubleshooting the SuperDrive on your Mac.

For some reason I cannot import music from my hard drive to my iTunes library

For some reason I cannot import music from my hard drive to my iTunes library, could you please help?

Updated to 12.1.0.71 and cannot import music from a cd or from a folder.

Updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 and now cannot import music from a cd or from a folder. I ran the diagnostics test, and itunes can find the cd, but will not import it. Itunes will play the cd though.
Any suggestions? Is there a bug fix coming?
Thank you.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
You may want to install QuickTime also. Links in the user tip.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

Cannot Burn or import music from itunes

every time i open itunes i get a pop up that tells me that i must reinstall itunes before i will be able to burn or import music.
i have gone round and round with tech support trying to figure out why i can no longer burn discs. i was told that my internal cd/dvd drive must have gone bad and that i needed a new one. i went and purchased one, an external drive, and STILL CANNOT BURN OR IMPORT MUSIC! I can copy CDs and DVD from my internal drive so i now know that my drive is not bad and that the issue is not with my computer it is with itunes. my question is how do i get itunes to recognize that i do infact have a working drive? and if i cannot burn music from itunes how can i get it somewhere else on my computer so i can?
i am SO fed up with itunes and am about to just give up on it completely!
please help! ANYONE!!!

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

Is it possible for me to import music from my pc?

I have been able to import any music off of my pc that I had downloaded from the internet. The problem is that it seems all of my full albums (wva files) say they are downloading, but I cannot find them in my itunes library. The only thing that has worked so far is burning the wva files onto a disc from my pc, and then downloading them to my itunes library on my mac.
I have already tried:
1-File sharing on the network
2-Using a flash drive to transfer
What can/should I do?

HELP! I am using a Mac running OS 10.4.10 NOT a PC.
Somehow my question got lost as I did NOT ask "Is it possible for me to import music from my pc?"
Here's my question again:
I want to place a piece of music that I purchased from iTunes [ocean sounds] in iWeb AND to play that sound clip continutously.
In iTunes I am able to have the sound repeat. In iTunes, with the repeat song selected, I dragged the clip from iTunes into iWeb.
In iWeb I am able to play the ocean sounds but the piece does NOT repeat.
A. How do I get the piece to play continuously?
B. How do I enable the sound to begin playing when the iWeb page is opened?
Thanks

Using External CD Rom drive to import music from CD to Itune

I have itunes 6.0 on an XP laptop, and an external TDK DVD/CDrom drive. Itunes imports music from CDs when I use the drive on the laptop, however, only imports links (seem like URL links) when I use the external drive to import music from a CD into a playlist.
I am trying to use the external CD rom drive for importing music into Itunes, but there seems to be a problem, or I have not checked some box or the other. Can someone help??
Thanks

First, Jaguar does not come on a DVD. The standard Jaguar release comes on two CDs. What you probably have is a gray color OEM DVD or a copy that was made for a specific Mac model and will not work with your computer. Furthermore, in order to run OS X on your computer you must first install a firmware update.
You also need at least 128 MBs of RAM for OS X and at least 3 GBs of free space on the hard drive during installation. Your particular model requires that OS X be installed on a drive or partition that is less than 8 GBs. If your hard drive is larger than 8 GBs it must be partitioned such that the first partition is no larger than 7.85 GBs and OS X must be installed in that partition. The drive must also be formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+).
Furthermore, you cannot boot OS X from a USB drive, only from a Firewire drive.
You will need to get the correct Jaguar installers. You can purchase the right package at www.applerescue.com. Your particular model is compatible with Panther thru 10.3.9. Panther would be a better choice than Jaguar because it is much faster even on your iMac. However, OS X will not be very fast on your computer because it lacks CPU speed and video horsepower. If you continue to install OS X, then you should plan to install the maximum of 512 MBs of RAM that iMac supports.

Problem importing music from audio CD

I upgraded to i-tunes 7.4.3.1 & since then cannot import audio CDs. The audio cd is recognised in Devices, I can see all the tracks, I can import the tracks, they appear in the Library but they will not play. Each imported track is shown in the library as being 789.57.13 duration. If I try to play the tracks it jumps to the next track in the Library and plays that.
I ran the CD diagnostics and the results are pasted below. I would appreciate any help as this is SO frustrating!! Thanks.

Can't import music from iTunes! Please help.

We installed Yosemite, updated iMovie and iTunes. When we attempt to import music from iTunes into iMovie for a project by clicking on iTunes in the "Content Library," nothing shows up in the window that says, "The contents of your iTunes Library will appear here."
Cannot figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx

Did you manage to get this sorted. I am trying to import music from iTunes in to iMovie, but it won't allow?!

I cannot add music from my computer onto my itunes library.

I cannot add music from my computer onto my itunes library. I have tried dragging the songs, importing them, going to Add files and Add folders, copy and pasting. They just won't turn up in my itunes library.

You don't say where you are having problems. The best answer will depend upon what exactly you are trying to do. If you are trying to add one or two files, copy them to a flash drive, then drag them from the drive to an iTunes playlist. If you are trying to move your whole library that requires a different answer.
Note .wma files will work with iTunes on a PC but cannot be added to a Mac iTunes. Convert them to another format on the PC first (but I don't think you can do that if they are protected format).

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder? I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.

What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library. That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

I have home sharing on 2 computers, can i import music from on computer to the other permenently?

i have home sharing on 2 computers, can i import music from on computer to the other permenently?

if the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked in iTunes > preferences > advanced, files you transfer via homesharing are copied permanently to the other library.
