Cannot import to iTunes from disc

I am unable to import to iTunes from a CD in my optical drive E. I am able to install programs using the same drive, but when a disc is inserted, it makes the "whirring" sound spinning the disc, then stops soundlessly. It also is not recognized by iTunes diagnostics, and no disc shows in the iTunes sidebar. I cannot import using Windows Media Player, either. However, there seems to be a recognition of an inserted disc because when I have iTunes closed, and then insert a disc, iTunes opens automatically (following the "Import" upon inserting disc preference under "Preferences"). Advice would be most appreciated.

I forgot a couple of details. First, my hard drive has recently been almost completely filled (about 3% left), and I have been wondering whether this could be related. Additionally, the discs I have tried to import worked fine in another computer. The iTunes diagnostics readout is below:

  • I cannot get music originally imported to itunes from CD to sync on my ipad Air

    I set up my iPad Air from the back up of my ipad 3, and everything was transferred except for music which had originally been imported to iTunes from CD.   I have tried syncing with iTunes on the computer but that doesn't work either.  I have also noticed that when I sync my ipad 3 to the computer, whilst the CD imported music is on the iPad, and plays ok, all the album art is lost.  Can anyone help please?

    De-sync all of your music in order to remove it from the device. Then, re-sync.

  • Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

    cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

    Try:
    Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
    Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
    When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
    Import that file into FCPX.

  • Is there a way to import in iTunes--from a CD--a partial track of a song?

    is there a way to import in iTunes--from a CD--a partial track of a song? (i.E., there are a few seconds of junk-talk before the music begins; I'd like to omit the talk).

    If you have the song in iTunes already you can select it and "Get Info" then under the options tab...I think it's options, I'm away from my computer....change the start time to a time that is after the talking intro.  From then on the song will start at the desired time.

  • Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS  X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

    hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS  X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

    Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
    And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

  • How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto?  I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera.  I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

    I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera.  I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.  I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it.  If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera.  Thanks in advance.

    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

  • I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df.

    Hello,
    I have a late '11 Macbook Pro that currently has OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto version 9.2.1  and for some reason I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df memory card. 
    I don't know if I have something wrong in my settings or if my current iPhoto and/or OSX needs to be upgraded.  Is there anyone here that would be so kind to help this technically challenged old man and tell me what I need to do?
    Many thanks!

    You'll need OS 10.9 Mavericks and Camera Raw update 5.0.2 and Aperture version 3.4.5 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4.3 or later, is required to install this update.
    The good news is that all those updates are free as you have 10.7.
    As always, back up all data before upgrading anything.

  • Cannot import to iTunes anymore

    I cannot import mp3 files I've downloaded from other sources. I used to be able to do this, but haven't been since upgrading to the new iTunes. iTunes doesn't do anything. Dragging the file doesn't work, import doesn't work, "add to library" doesn't work. In fact, I can't even play the file from where it sits in the folder. Any suggestions?

  • I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac.  I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom.  I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac.  I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

    If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

  • Cannot import video file from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11.

    Hi this is my first post on this site.
    I am having trouble trying to import video files from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11. The computer does not even recognize this camcorder. When I do a PC connection, iphoto comes up, but all it tells me to import are the pictures that I have taken.
    No matter what I do, I cannot find the folder for my camcorder in the device section in the finder.
    When I try to import it on imovie, I only get an option for facetime camera and not my vixia.
    Please help!

  • Upgraded to Lightroom 3.6, cannot import NEF files from D700

    Hi!
    I just upgraded my Lightroom to 3.6 on my MacBook pro running Lion. Since then, I cannot import my pictures anymore, either from the camera directly, through a compact flash reader (SanDisk) or by adding the picture directly from my hard-drive. The standard Mac utility to download images work fine.
    Lightroom tells me that it cannot read the files, with Lithgtroom 3.5 it worked (nothing changed in the meantime Camera profiles, OS X, etc.).
    You can find one NEF file I cannot import here (dropbox link) : http://db.tt/6zSiNzYK
    Any idea?

    Thank you Sean,
    I'll try that once I'll have managed to get the import working. I created another catalog since last time I thought the import worked but again I got stuck.
    Do you know anything else I could try? Ideally, do you know how  I could get a better diagnosis? By the way, I already got in touch with the CS but all I got was a lousy answer (update my ACR... for Lightroom -_- )
    I'm using Lightroom since the first version and I start to really be discouraged.
    Thanks for your help,
