CD import stopped iTunes cold

Imported a CD and now iTunes plays nothing. The slider looks like it's playing, but nothing happens on any tune in the library. All sound selections are selected correctly and work fine, including system sounds, and I get audio through Internet connections (Pandora, etc.). The CD drive was even louder than usual on import, but all tracks appear to have come in. Ran Disc Utility/repair permissions. Other ideas? Thanks.

This symptom is usually a firmware problem on the
optical drive. Run CD Diagnostics (from the Help
menu in iTunes) and paste your results into a post on
this thread. I'll take a look at them, and see if
anything jumps out.

  • How do i stop itunes from automatically importing playlists

    Hate the new 10.4.0.80 version of iTunes.  I keep an M3u playlist for each of my 1000's of albums.  Recent version is the first version that imports all these playlists when i "add a folder".  Then you have no way of managing all these new playlists that automatically get added.  Yes I can delete them or move them to a folder - but I have to select each list one at a time to do that and I dont have the patience to do this over a thousand times.  And then if i add the folder again, because itunes doesn't automatically add new music - all the playlists come back like a bad rash
    Reason enough for me to abandon iTunes, which means I don't really need an iPhone and iPad instead of an Andriod.
    Horrible experience.  How do I turn off this feature or otherwise stop iTunes from doing this?

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing the songs I download?

    I usually end up deleting a bunch of songs, but iTunes is automatically importing/adding the songs I download which then creates a lot of missing file links. How do I stop iTunes from doing that, I just want to be able to add them manually by folders.

    I'm having a similar problem.
    When I download songs via my MobileMe "iDisk" webpage, it will automatically end up in iTunes and starts playing. I set up my iDisk settings to place my downloads on my desktop, which it does, just fine.
    Nonetheless iTunes ALWAYS wanting to be part of it, is really annoying.
    I just DON'T want iTunes to start up, just because a download finished. I add songs manually myself when I want it.
    Any advise ?? Thanks

  • Stop iTunes writing tags on import

    Hi all
    I have an issue with iTunes that maybe someone can help with. I have a lot of mp4  video files that I like to tag as TV shows indeed some are TV shows I've taped off the TV. Any how the files have had there meta tags set to TV shows and part or a compilation set to yes and all showed up in the TV shows section of iTunes. Now every now and again I do a clean install of the system or copy the shows from my main mac to the tvs Mac mini and when I re import the files to iTunes , iTunes then converts all the files to home movies and sets the part of a compilation back to no. All others tags remain unchanged. The biggest problem about this is that I use retrospect as a secondary backup solution and as iTunes has modified the files it wants to back up all 200gb again
    Is there a way to stop iTunes editing tags. On import.
    Cheers
    Steve

    Are these files downloaded from the internet? Oftentimes these kinds of files will include a playlist file with extension .cue or .m3u that look like music files but will cause iTunes to import the list of tracks twice when dragged along with the audio files.

    My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone?

    If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).  If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

  • How can i stop itunes changing manually typed in genres when playing a track?

    hi,
    for a long time, itunes has been changing genre information that i typed in manually when playing a track, example giving "soundtrack" to "Filmmusik" or "rock" to "Rock" (i prefer lower case letters). until upgrading to itunes 11, it was able to edit the localizable.strings file and set the predefined genres to lowercase and "Filmmusik" to "soundtrack" and so on. now i had to install itunes 11 to run my new ipod, and the localizable.strings file looks quite different. it doesn't seem to be the file now where the necessary updates have to be done.
    therefore, first question is if anyone can tell me where i can find the predefined genres and update them? then i will have a workaround at least.
    actually, i would prefer to stop itunes changing track information in any case. i've spend more than a year to import all my cd's and used lots of time to have reliable track informations. i don't want the software to change my data without me committing any change. also, even worse, itunes updates the aac-file itself as well. i used to use the last updated information as a criteria in intelligent playlists, but itunes makes it impossible to get the expected result with its unwanted updates.
    so, any help will be aprreciated. in case it should matter, i have an imac with os x 10.6.8. the problem seems to occur only in itunes, when i play the tracks on my ipod, the information remains unchanged. and since i read about similar problems with songs from the itunes store - all my tracks are imported from cd manually.
    regards,
    andi

    Dependent upon which view you are using to look at the album, they will be playing in the "view" order. For example, in the screenshot below, in the Songs view, I have a view of an album like this, while the song "Follow Me" is playing:
    Look carefully at the picture and you will notice that the sort order for this view is in "reverse Last Played order", and if you now look at the Track No. column, you will notice that "Follow Me" is track 12, the last one on the album. If you also look at the Up Next list, you can see every track from the album, in the same order as they appear in the main window, so it will play in reverse order.
    To play this album in the correct track order, I simply click on the Track No. column header (so that the arrow is pointing up) and then select the track at the top of the list, track 1, "Sunset Song". Look at this screenshot:
    Notice that now, the tracks in the Up Next list are in track order and the album will play in the correct order.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • How do I stop itunes from creating a 'Music' folder inside my music folder?

    I'm trying to set up my library on a new computer and I'm running into a very BIG problem.
    Previously, I had let iTunes manage the directory structure, which in my opine does quite well: Artist / Album / Song. Trying to import the library into the new computer is causing a new folder to appear at the Artist level, called 'Music', and the artist directories are moved under it as they get imported.
    This makes no sense to me. The versions of iTunes are the same: 9.0.2 - and this was NOT done whenever I imported a CD. The settings are the same - I like the settings a certain way and I made sure of that. The 'let itunes mange...' is checked on the new computer just like it was on the old. But the new computer is refusing to let the music stay in the same structure as the old one did.
    The only real difference I can think of is that I'm trying to import the directory containing the structure, rather than importing them disc by disc, and that I'm trying to import the library from the library directory itself (ie: importing c:\itunes when the library is also sourced at c:\itunes). But I've done this before with previous versions of itunes without this problem occurring. How come the old versions knew how to handle this as expected, but the new one doesn't?
    And most importantly - How do I stop it from happening now?

    Reading through that article - there's two important pieces of information.
    1 - It says that you have to select "Upgrade to iTunes Media organization" in order to enable this so-called feature, which is still unchecked on my machine (ie: I didn't do it).
    2 - It says that it's enabled by default in iTunes 9.
    Kinda conflicting there, it still says it ISN'T enabled on my PC but I apparently have to deal with it anyway. Why bother pretending to give me a choice at all if it's just going to be enabled by default?
    I'm gonna go wipe itunes now and start at version 8 - maybe the upgrade path will keep my directories the way I like them instead of itunes lying to me about the new media layout.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically adding mp3s I've downloaded to my library?

    As I make a variety of YouTube videos, I tend to scrawl the web for various sound effects and music I can use in my projects. I sample all of them online before downloading, but it seems that whenever I download an mp3 to my desktop, iTunes seems to get a mind of its own and go "Hey, let me add that to the library and play it for you." That's not what I want to do at all, and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to stop iTunes from doing so.

    Windows Media Player can often be the culprit, with iTunes revealing edits that WMP has made in the background. See this post for suggestions. The most important bit is setting the options as per the fourth image which will stop WMP making changes in future. iTunes will carry on revealing any damage that has already been done.
    A slightly more obscure possibility is that your edits haven't taken, either becuase the file is locked (iTunes won't raise an error) or occasionally because multiple tags are involved and iTunes writes to one, but reads back another.

  • How do I stop iTunes connection to iStore when it starts up?

    Title says it all really. I can't see any obvious way of stopping iTunes trying to connect every time, is there any way of doing this?

    Not sure if this will solve the whole problem for you, but its solved one of my major issues, so thought worth sharing.
    I have the problem that when importing CDs or attaching Ipod the itunes program pops to the front. You can be halfway through a post/email/doc whatever and then it just appears and before you know it youve pressed keys that mean youre listening to Bachmann Turner Overdrive...
    Anyway, I have solved this issue by going (in MAC OS X) to the system prefs and CD/DVD and making sure all options in there are set to ignore. In the itunes prefs I have stopped the ipod from auto synching and itunes from opening when you insert anything at all.
    Hope this helps and fixes a bit of stuff for people.

  • Is it possible to stop iTunes generating a separate album cover when multiple artists are involved in one album

    Is it possible to stop iTunes from generating a separate cover for each artist when the album has multiple artists?

    when importing album artwork, does anyone know if its possible to make it not embed the artwork in every file and instead act like the artwork downloaded from the iTunes store?
    It is not possible.

  • I don't know why win7 stop itunes working.

    I considered what cause to do that,but I can't find out. Icould put music into ipod classic the day before yesterday. Now I can't.

    There's a bug with 10.1.0.54 that is causing "iTunes has stopped working messages" (citing CoreAudioToolbox.dll in the Problem Reports for the error) for some folks when importing CDs with the AAC encoding, adding/converting files to AAC, and in some cases syncing devices (when the convert to 128 kbps AAC option is enabled).
    Short of rolling back your iTunes to 10.0.1.22 and your Apple Application Support to 1.3.2 (CoreAudioToolbox.dll is kept in the Apple Application Support program files), there's a few possible workarounds.
    (1) Change your importing prefs to use a different encoding (won't help with the device syncing variation though), and/or disable the convert to 128 kbps AAC when syncing option.
    (2) Replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a 7.9.3.0 as per:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12576816#12576816
    (3) Or, replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a shadow copy of a 7.9.3.0 as per:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12583499&#12583499
    (2 and 3 do help with the syncing variation.)

  • How do I stop iTunes popping to front ?

    how do I stop iTunes popping to front ?
    Posted: 09-Sep-2009 22:53
    whenever iTunes has a dialogue window open every 30 seconds or so it keeps popping to the front. for example while writing this I have iTunes installing the new iPhone 3.1 software and it has an "updating iPhone" message and it is a real pain.
    my last post of this question has had replies disallowed and the problem hasn't been fixed in the new itunes update (9.1)
    also run as administrator dosen't work for me though others have had success with this

  • How can I stop iTunes from numbering ripped files?

    How can I stop iTunes 11.2.1 from automatically adding numbering before track titles when I rip files from a CD? I used to be able to do this generations of iTunes ago but later versions don't seem to offer an option to turn this off. All ideas, tips, suggestions and hints welcome.

    Thanks very much for your reply. I'm not ripping music but rather audiobook CDs which I then use Audiobook Builder to create audiobooks I can "read" on my iDevice. On the odd occasion iTunes will "recognize" the audiobook CD and offer to import metadata for it ... which is almost always incorrect. Thus, I usually decline the metadata import and enter the appropriate and correct metadata via Get Info. Then, when I import the files from the CD, iTunes automatically numbers each file ahead of the file title. I was previously able to disable this behavior but I can't find any way to do so in iTunes 11.2.1. Some have said TinkerTool used to provide this feature but no longer does. I don't know if TinkerTool has a Mavericks-compatible version - I'll have to check that out. If not, then I'm still trying to find a way to disable automatic track numbering in iTunes when ripping audiobook CDs. Thanks again for your reply ... I 'preciate it.
