CD Drive no longer imports CDs in iTunes

I had been successful importing and porting music tracks to my Ipod for a few months then all of a sudden the import bombs in the second or third track of a CD by giving an error message much like when a USB drive is improperly disconnected. Then the drive is totally unavailable until reboot. The I-tunes CD diagnostic runs fine until the end when it again "disconnects" the drive. There has been no new drivers from the manufacturer - Mitsumi CR-4804TE. Searching the Apple support site indicates that this should NEVER have worked but it had and works fine for playing a CD. Any ideas?

This could be a hardware problem, but you might want to try the steps here to eliminate software conflicts from other CD software.

  • No longer imports CDs

    My iTunes will no longer import CDs. It reads them then very quickly copies them into the library but they are marked "not available" in the time column and will not play. Only the titles are there.

  • HT1351 When I import cds to itunes the albums do not contain all songs. If there are multiple artists or a duet, each song shows up as an album.

    When I import cds to itunes, the albums do not contain all songs. If there is a duet, each duet is listed as a separate album.
    As an example," Genius Loves Company" or "Tuskegee" each are listed as many albums---each album has a separate song.
    I spoke to Apple Help and they were of some help, but did not answer the question.

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • Cannot import CDs into iTunes, disc is corrupted and unreadable error.

    Cannot import CDs into iTunes, keep getting disc is corrupted and unreadable error. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
    If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

  • Can no longer import CDs -Itunes freezes

    I was going along just fine importing CDs and then one day after importing two CDs, it stopped working. Each time I try to import a CD, I see the list of songs, start the import process and everything locks up within a few seconds. I have to manually shut down - Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work. I can't use the CD diagnostics because that freezes up too. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Laurie

    Hi
    I'm having the exact same problem too. I had posted here a while ago but no one had any solutions. The only thing that I can suggest is to upload the tracks one by one. Sometimes I can get away by uploading say 4 tracks in one go other times I can only upload 1 o 2 at a time. I know its not really a solution but thats what I ended up doing.
    The problems began after I downloaded the latest iTunes version. although it could be windows xp too - I had Win XP with SP1 and not SP2. But then, I upgraded to SP2 and the problem didn't go away.

  • Can't import CDs into iTunes

    This is a repeat of a problem that I reported back in Oct, but never got any solution. When I first installed iTunes on this computer I was able to copy a CD into iTunes with no problem. Since that time I haven't been able to copy another CD. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, then installed the latest versions with no change in performance.
    I really would like to change the tunes on my iPod before it wears out.

  • Can't import cds onto itunes without computer crashing/shutting down

    alright, ive tried importing songs that ive ripped from cds through media player onto itunes but again it crashes, i noticed when i ran the diagnostic it said "If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard" so do you think this may have something to do with it?

  • Importing CDs to itunes

    Hello,
    I've been having some problems importing music into itunes from CD. I've had no luck with the hypothesis that itunes is to blame so I thought I'd see if anyone had had a similar experience with their disk drive.
    The problem only occurs when importing music files through itunes. All other types of data seem to copy over normally when dragged and dropped. This problem occurs sporadically and randomly. It doesn't occur evey time.
    A music CD will often stop importing half way through and leave me with no choice but to force quit itunes.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I haven't got very far with the itunes forums other than a few people with similar experiences and no solution. Could the drive need cleaning? Can this be done on a Mac Book Pro? Or is the problem more serious?
    Many thanks,
    Thom

    If I play the CD directly from itunes, the track will play perfectly. The problem only occurs when importing through itunes. The problem has occurred when importing both older and brand new, fresh from the box, CDs.
    The encoding is set to MP3 encoder at High Quality (160 kbps) in itunes preferences. The CDs in question are CDs bought from a shop, not MP3 disks. I have the latest version of itunes available.
    Thanks for all your suggestions. Still looking for the permanent answer.

  • Importing CDs into iTunes for Macbook Pro

    For Chrismas this year I recieved a new Macbook Pro. On my old computer I would import my CDs into iTunes to listen to music, rather than buying all new music that I already have! This is my first time owning any kind of apple computer and I have no clue how to do certain things on it! I would really like to import my CDs so I can listen to music, but this computer has no CD drive and I have no idea how to do so! I would really like to figure this out so I don't have to spend more money on music that I already own! Please help a confused new Mac user!! Thank you!

    Pioneer DVR-XD09
    THAT'S the one I have and use with my Mini.
    I got it four years ago for my daughter, with a Netbook, which has since been retired. It comes with a "dual" USB cable (2 into 1 - 1 for data,1 for power) but I got an AC adapter for the power so it only uses one USB port now. The dual cable comes in handy when you're on the go, though. No external power source needed.
    It reads and writes (+and -) CD-Rs CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, single and dual layer. About the only thing it won't do is BluRay.

  • Problem importing CDs into iTunes

    iTunes breaks some of my  imported CDs into multiple folders/albums. How can I combine these back into one album? I have tried drag/drop, but that does not work.

    You need to make sure that artist and album artist are the same on all tracks

  • Can no longer burn CDs in iTunes

    I have successfully been burning CDs in iTunes until recently. I can now no longer burn an audio CD. The CDs I am using are the same as before (CD-R, same make etc) and I am trying to burn albums purchased through iTunes. No error message comes up, it just doesn't burn. I have the latest version of iTunes loaded but can't remember when I loaded this. Perhaps my problems have occurred since then? Can anyone help?

  • Share/Send Song to iTunes no longer imports song to iTunes

    Background: For a year now, i've used GB (3.0.5) to rip my vinyl, adjust tracks, etc and import tracks into iTunes (8.0.2). Never had a problem. Click Share/Send Song to iTunes, mix down starts, iTunes pops up and starts playing the new track~ Until...
    Recently: i got a new external HD for xmas and this week i moved my iTunes Library over to it to make some room. Well, after finally getting rid of all my !-marks and finding my album artwork again- iTunes is running fine.
    Now: 10 hours ago I ripped a new record in GB, split my tracks, etc and went to Share/Send Song to iTunes. Mix down starts, iTunes popped up but doesn't start playing the track!!!!!
    I've been around the world trying to set a Preference here, update a Library there, googled every combination of this tale i could think of, searched the Support threads, and Nuthin.
    This may be an iTunes problem. I may have messed up my Library. Will totally understand if i need to take my question to the iTunes section.
    Just wondering how i can tell GB where to export the song so that it goes to my current iTunes library> Please Help!?

    Solved My Own Problem: Garageband doesn't like it when you use ',/,() ,or "&" in the drive or folder names. Sorry, i thought this was resolved back in 1995.
    Thanks for looking here.

  • Importing CDs to iTunes in Mountain Lion:  iTunes is giving all Classical Albums the same title???

    We have started importing our hundreds of CDs into iTunes.  Problem is, iTunes is giving every Classical CD the same title, copying the title of the first Clasical CD we imported.  Any suggestions?

    Hey there,
    Since, the CD is a greatest hits CD, the first thing you may or may not want to do is check to see if it marked as part of a compilation. To do this, highlight each track of the album (or one at a time if you prefer ) and control->click and choose Get Info from the menu.
    When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is no check mark next to "part of a compilation." Then hit OK when you are finished, if you have made any changes.
    If that is not the case, I would retype the name of the album in for all 14 tracks at once and see if that helps.
    Lastly, if still no luck, I would check out this comprehensive post from turingtest2 on grouping albums together. Hope this helps.

  • Importing CDs into iTunes - User Not Registered For Online Use

    I am on Windows 8.1 Pro using iTunes 12.0.1.26 and am trying import CDs into my iTunes library.  When I insert a music CD in the album information and track names don't come in automatically.  When I try to manually get the information, I get an "User not registered for online use" message. 
    Request if I can be provided with some assistance on this. Importing CDs was no problem until I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 yesterday morning.
    Thanks.

    Same issue - windows 7.  Worked fine yesterday - updated to iTunes 12 and now it is broken and I get the "user not registered for online use" ERROR.  Seems like the latest "upgrade" broke GraceNote access.

  • What's a good strategy plan to import CDs into itunes library

    I have lots of CDs I'd like to import into my itunes library. What's a good strategy plan? Creating categories, playlist, etc will help?

    When you rip each CD, make sure that all the tag info is correct, including titles, artist, album, and genre. Then, once the tracks are in the library, you can use the built-in iTunes capabilities for sorting.
    There is no need to set up individual playlists per album; rather, use playlists for special lists or compilations that you make. When you are ready, learn how to use the smart playlist functionality, as it adds a lot of control and fun to your listening.
