Cds appearing and dissapearing when trying to import into itunes

Please note I am posting a new thread on this as a similar one has been incorrectly labeled as answered.
When loading CDs into mac book pro initially track listing appears in itunes then disappears. Although the CD is still in the machine the computer does not recognise a mounted CD. Ejecting and re installing the CD always rectifies the problem. This does not happen every time a CD is installed but it happens frequently. Also occurs on a black mac book, and two different mac minis. This happens under Leopard, it happens under snow Leopard, it happens with at least the last three versions of itunes for mac. IT also happens with virtual CDs mounted from files using Toast. Any ideas or is this an itunes bug that apple have had outstanding for a long time?
I promise I won't mark this as answered unless it is.

I have exactly the same problem - I Tunes 9 closes down each time I try to import a cd. I run Windows XP and its the first time with any version of Itunes I've had problems importing cd. Must be a bug with the new version. Finn

TS1424 i'm getting 'Error 306' when trying to log into itunes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm getting 'Error 306' when trying to log into itunes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

When trying to go into itunes I get this message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (itmss) isn't associated with any program"

When trying to log into itunes i get this message:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (itmss) isn't associated with any program.
I had to reset Firefox (due to slowness and shockwave error message that I kept getting). Itunes was downloaded after the reset, but I can't get into it? Any ideas?

I ran into this same problem after Firefox auto-updated to v24! I'm on the Beta Channel and I had Firefox set to automatically update.
What I did to correct the problem:
1. Turned off all automatic updating.
Options> Advanced> Update [tab]
Firefox updates
[x] Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them
[ ] (unchecked) Use a background service to install updates
I also unchecked;
[ ] Search Engines (I will turn this back on after I'm done with my experiment.)
2. Googled 'Firefox v23 download', downloaded and installed: Firefox_Setup_23.0b1.exe (version 23, Beta 1)
Since I reverted back to v23, I haven't had any problems.

When I'm importing into itunes, sometimes I can edit information, sometimes not

when I'm importing into itunes, sometimes I can edit the information sometimes it doesn't allow changes. my permissions on the drive are 'read & write', also the itunes folder. but as I said, sometimes I can edit. things I can't edit end up in 'unknown' folder, so I've started making playlist that I put cd's into. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

In iMovie, on the middle toolbar you should see the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool.
Select your photo in the Project and use this tool to select FIT to keep the entire picture and fill the extra space with black bars (letterboxing). Use CROP to make the picture fill the frame by chopping off the top ad bottom. Choose Ken Burns to create a motion effect.

HT1390 I just rented a movie on itunes but I don't know how to make it play. I clicked out of itunes and now when I go back into itunes, I don't see a way to play the movie I just downloaded. Help.

I am a new at this. I just rented and downloaded a movie, clicked out of iturnes and now when I go back into itunes, I don't see a way to play the movie that I just downloaded ten minutes ago. I just want to watch it on my laptop.
Help.

Welcome to the Apple Community Vane_paranormal.
If you rent a movie on your phone, you have to watch it on your phone, likewise if you rent it from the Apple TV you will have to watch it there.
If you want to watch a rental on multiple devices, rent it from a computer.

Why is the audio on my video getting out of sync when it is imported into itunes?

Hello,
I have videos in the MP4 Format, and have imported them into itunes. However, during playback in itunes, the audio gets more and more out of sync as the video plays. By the end of the film the audio can be 5-6 seconds out!
What's strange is that the source file, played with quicktime or Windows media player, is fine and works perfectly.
Why is the audio stretched once it is imported?
Thanks,
James

I have the same problem.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA785GPMT-UD2H
Chipset:
North Bridge: AMD 785G
South Bridge: AMD SB710
Video: Integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200
HDMI Audio through the HDMI port out to the TV.
Tried on Windows 7 Pro 32bit and Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit.
Tried with the integrated ALC889A audio device enabled and disabled (It seems that the video card drives the HDMI audio device though, because it still appears in Windows even if I disable the Audio device in BIOS).
Latest iTunes and drivers installed.
I have already tried all sugestions about matching Windows Audio settings to iTunes settings (bit depth, frequency rate).
Apple, any suggestions? I'm not having a great customer experience after buying a pair of HD movies in iTunes.

Error when trying to log into iTunes account.

When I go into iTunes from my laptop to update apps that I have, it prompts me to put in my password. When I put in my password, it tells me there's an unknown error and to put it in again. When I did, it tells me that my password has be put in to many times and it's incorrect. I changed my password and it's still doing that to me. Any help on how I can get rid of that?

CD disappears when try to import into iTunes

Hello,
I have a macbook pro that I bought in April 2008. It has the following problem:
Upon inserting a CD, iTunes comes up, identifies the tracks and then asks if I want to import it. When I click yes, the CD usually instantaneously disappears from itunes. To get it back, I have to eject it and re-insert it. Then when it asks, once again, if I want to import it, it always succeeds with no problems whatsoever.
This is pretty bizarre behavior. I wonder if anyone else has ever seen it or has any ideas. This has continued to happen through a number of OS X releases, including 10.6.2.

Hi gary, yes, I'm using 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.02 myself, and it works perfectly for me, but I've seen others with serious cases of this problem with various versions of OSX and iTunes, though I have never suffered it myself on any of our family's half a dozen currently operational Macs.
Your follow up post brought back a few more memories about the issue.
A friend of mine suffered it extremely severely under Tiger and Leopard too and iTunes 7 etc. 90% of the time the disc would disappear when accessing CDDB on first insertion. Again even "clean installs" didn't seem to fix it (though on occasion people would find it worked for the first CD read, but not for subsequent ones - suggesting a problem of corruption of the database when the data relating to the first CD was written for some reason) . Somehow, though, it doesn't affect most people, which makes it unlikely that it is a straight iTunes/OS problem.
Other theories over the years have involved problems in reading the disc identifier information on the CD for some reason related to the drive concerned, issues with proxy servers used by some ISPs, the use of third party "plug-ins" , conflicts with other software, you name it. None of it really seems to stack up to me. One suggestion that might be more probable involves the way that iTunes deals with the "Mount point" of the CD concerned, as Denis Lynch noted in another thread a year or so back:
I did find a geeky workaround: the problem is that when iTunes gets the track names from CDDB, it wants to change the volume mount point for the CD from "Audio CD" to the album name. Apparently the unmount goes fine, but the mount falls on the floor.
If you open Disk Utility in that situation, you'll see that it shows an unmounted Audio CD. Right click (Control-click if you only have one button), and select the option to mount the volume. It mounts with the iTunes-approved title, and iTunes immediately starts importing the CD.
So if you've got a stack of CDs to import, just leave Disk Utility open to deal with the ones that get "stuck."
One solution that I now remember people suggesting in earlier incarnations of this issue, and which appears to have worked for some, was to head to iTunes preferences and change the settings for "When you insert a CD" to "Import CD and Eject" from whatever it was currently set to. Seemed to work for some . Might be worth a try?
If you want to have a look at some of the "history" under earlier OS and iTunes versions of this issue take a look at the very long archived thread starting at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6045368

I keep getting this message when trying to sign into itunes... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I have tried everything I can find online.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
If iTunes Store appears empty and only displays the message iTunes Store, follow these steps.
Try the steps to troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you may need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. Follow these steps for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Try disabling any proxies built-in to Wndows. You should avoid proxies because they can cause issues.
If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
I also have tried flushing dns,making sure all services that are required are started (not 100% which it needs to be fair, I did have an issue earlier this month when i upgraded my ram from 2gb to 4gb and had to go into msconfig to untick the max memory setting so it used all 4 instead of the original 2gb... and that for some reason turned off a few services, bonjour service is 100% working, i checked that much, and the ipod service too) I also tried a system restore with no effect.
I also did the microsoft fixit for the hosts file too...

Error message when attempting to import into iTunes

A while ago a friend helped me put all of my music files onto an external drive. I recently purchased a second computer and was happily importing CD's, up until I migrated all data from my old computer to the new one. Now, when I try to import CD's (new ones that aren't even on the playlist referenced to the old computer and filed on the external drive), I get a warning that says "ERROR OCCURRED WHILE CONVERTING THE FILE (song title). THE REQUIRED DISC CANNOT BE FOUND.
Is there some preference that might have been configured when the external drive was set up to receive the itunes music files, or???? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello RunnerGirl98,
If you reinstall iTunes using this article, your songs will not be deleted. The Media in iTunes is stored in the iTunes folder, which is normally found in your Music folder and is not attached, or part of the iTunes application.
It will be either one of these 2 articles depending on the OS version you have installed:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
I would also verify where your iTunes library is stored using this information:
Where are my iTunes files located?

Getting an "unknown error' when trying to sign into iTunes Store

When I try to sign into the iTunes store, it is giving me an "Unknown Error" message, without an error code or anything. I have tried restarting the computer and that didn't help. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Windows 8
iTunes 11
Thanks

I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me... I only had to reset the iTunes cache
1) Open iTunes
2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.
