CD wont load into itunes

I bought three new (but very classic) CDs.  I want to load into itunes and then to my iphone.   First went great.   The next two pop in, I hear sounds of whirring, then they pop out.   NOTHING?   What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi raydr98,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If CDs aren't importing into iTunes as expected, here are some steps you can try:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Import songs from CDs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12486
I have bolded specific steps I would try:
If you have trouble importing songs from an audio CD
If iTunes doesn’t recognize audio CDs or if you’re having trouble importing songs, check the following:
If iTunes doesn’t recognize an audio CD (it doesn’t appear in the iTunes window), quit iTunes, then open it again by double-clicking the app icon in the iTunes folder in the Program Files folder on your hard disk. Do not open iTunes using the shortcut on your desktop. If iTunes now recognizes the CD, delete the iTunes shortcut and create a new one.
Choose Edit > Preferences, and click Import Settings. If the “Use error correction when reading Audio CDs” checkbox is not selected, select it. If it’s already selected, deselect it.
If you’re having trouble importing songs, make sure you check your computer or drive manufacturer’s site for firmware updates and install any that are appropriate for your computer and CD or DVD drive.
Make sure you have the latest software updates for Windows or your CD or DVD drive. Check the Windows website and your computer or drive manufacturer’s site for updates. Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your video and sound cards.
If you have more than one CD or DVD drive, try using iTunes with each drive.
To see if iTunes can find any problems with your CD drive, choose Help > Run CD Diagnostics and choose DVD/CD Diagnostics. For help with understanding the diagnostics results and other CD troubleshooting information, see Additional troubleshooting tips for burning issues at the Apple Support website.
If it’s taking a long time to import a song (more than 10 minutes) from an audio CD, the CD may be dirty or scratched. Try cleaning the CD with a soft, lint-free cloth, and then importing the songs again.
Additionally, if you have access to a second computer you might try the affected CDs in it to rule out the CDs as the issue.
Cheers,
- Ari

  • Videos Wont Load Into ITunes

    Everytime I try and load a video into Itunes either by dragging and dropping or the add file to library my computer freezes for about 30 min. When it unfreezes the video doesnt show in Itunes. Any ideas? The videos are in the mp4 format so I know theyre compatable.

    everytime I try to load video file into my library my computer crashes.
    are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • How do I get music loaded into itunes via CD synced into ipad?

    sync seems to only want to load music onto the ipad that was purchased within itunes.  I have a lot of old CDs have loaded into itunes on my macbook pro that have been synced to my ipod, why won't they also sync to the ipad?

    after another trip to the Apple store (just glad there's one close) found out you must configure sync settings for each device attached to your iTunes library. So made the ipad the current device, clicked on Music (on the horizontal menu bar that begins with Summary), selected the desired sync options, synced and now have all my albums on the ipad. only they aren't showing as albums but each individual "song" (even for a symphony)

  • HT1711 I have all of my music loaded into iTunes and now I can only play iTunes songs.  Can anyone tell me why?

    I have all of my music loaded into iTunes but can only play the songs that I bought through iTunes.  Am I doing something wrong or can I only use the iTunes player for iTunes music?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • I've noticed that CDs I've loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    I've noticed that CDs loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    iTunes does not burn DVDs, so you will have to use third-party software regardless of the format of the tracks.

  • I cant transfer my songs from old iphone to new iphone wont load into library

    I cant transfer my songs from my iphone 3gs to my new 4s they wont load into the library ive tried everything and im stumped

    All your media should be in your library. If for some reason this is not the case you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the new device from the old backup
    This process should switch set up your new device with the data and settings in your apps, assuming that is waht you wanted to achieve.
    Might be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all sorted, make a backup!

  • I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open

    I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open...help!

    If you're downloading Pages from the iTunes App Store you're not getting the Mac version, just the iOS version for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch. They are two separate applications for two different operating systems. To get Pages for your Mac you need to go to the Mac App Store. Either click the icon in the Dock or click on the Apple icon at the top left of your screen & choose App Store.

  • How can i get all of the new music I loaded into iTunes onto my iPod without deleting the content that is already on it?

    I just loaded a bunch of music from my CD library into iTunes in the hopes of loading it onto my iPod. The problem is now I can't figure out how to do it. Two issues... First it says that if I synch it will delete what is already on my iPod which I absolutely do not want. Second, is there a way to load each of the albums without having to create a play list?
    Ugh... Always a frustrating experience trying to deal with iTunes.

    You can only sync your device to one iTunes library at a time. You can either copy the music from the library on your other computer to the one you have loaded the new CDs onto, or you can purchase an external CD Drive and load them to the iTunes library you are currently sync'd with:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://store.apple.com/us/search/External-CD-DVD---SuperDrive
    For syncing, I am not familiar with the drag and drop method. I have always used the normal sync process:
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • Some songs correctly loaded into iTunes but won't transfer to iPod

    Can't figure this one out. I have 40-odd songs in my 2000 iTunes songs that won't transfer to iPod. Error message says the format is not recognized by my iPod, even though the songs appear and play normally in iTunes. Songs are about 7 years old. The file extension on them says ".mp3". However, I notice when I select a problem song and click "info", the information tells me the songs is a MPEG audio file; 6.8 mb size; sample rate 44.1 khz; format MPEG-1, Layer 2; ID3 Tag V1.0; Encoded with "Unknown". How do I properly load or convert these so they will play on my iPod? Do I need to convert them to AAC format, and if I do, what am I giving up? I have about 500 of these old songs in my library, which I haven't yet loaded into my iTunes. Thanks in advance for any help or expertise!

  • MP3s Won't Load into iTunes

    The other day I bought some mp3s from Amazon (with no DRM). The Amazon download application loaded them straight into iTunes just fine. But I noticed that the application stored the files in a place I didn't like (I like to organize my music myself). So, I removed the songs from iTunes, moved the files to a proper location, adjusted the volume of the songs (so they match the rest of my music), adjusted the artist name in the tags, and then tried to re-load the songs into iTunes. No luck. Now, I can't get iTunes to recognize and load the songs. They are standard mp3 files that I can play with any other application. But iTunes won't load them, not a folder at a time, not one by one, not using "import." Nothing works. Any ideas? I really want to enjoy this new album that I bought.
    I tried upgrading to the latest version of iTunes. It didn't help.
    Thanks

    I have a very similar, if not, the same problem. I got my music from other sources, but they were all standard unprotected mp3s with nothing special at all about them. I load them into iTunes fine, and they play fine. But sometimes iTunes will randomly just not play a song. The album art is lost for the song, and I cannot modify it because in "Get Info" the tab for album artwork just isn't there. Most of the time single songs are not affected, it's usually a whole album that will just stop being playable to iTunes.
    The songs also disappear off of my iPod, and if I remove them from my iTunes library (but keep the files) and then add them back, well, they simply do not add back. It's as if iTunes didn't even recognize the files as music files. If I keep the songs in my library and try "Convert Selection to MP3," iTunes gives me a useless "Unknown Error -50"
    This happens incredibly rarely, but it has happened to me at least four times in the past year, and the problem has never been fixed. I am convinced that this is just a random failure of iTunes and cannot find any possible explanation for it. It's extremely frustrating because there seems to be any cause at all for this problem to occur.

  • Cd wont drag into itunes

    I am having a weird issue. I recently transfered all my music off my laptop onto my PC so I could use ITunes on it. Previous to doing all my music worked fine in ITunes. When I started to import all my music into ITunes on the PC I noticed that one of my CDs would not go in when I drag and dropped. I also tried importing it but nothing. The weird thing is that I had this CD on my ipod when I used my laptop to do everything. ITunes doesnt respond to it or anything when I drag it in. Its as if I am doing no action at all. I tried a different CD after trying this one and it dropped in just fine. Any ideas?

    Ok,
    The P,B,&J cd is in my itunes library, my nano is docked in itunes, I highlight the songs in question, I click and drag them to my ipod music library, they do not load.
    Yes, I've tried to reload the disk.
    Yes, I've updated to current ver of itunes.
    Yes, the boxes are selected.
    yes, the files are in an ipod readable format.
