Did iTunes disable my music cds?

My eMac 700 with combo drive running OS X 10.3.9 and iTunes 7 does not want to play a music cd. I just reinstalled the operating system and nothing changed. How can I uninstall iTunes with all of it's extensions? I believe it has something to do with iTunes. The drive just sits there and spins with a moaning sound. Put a cd in with data on it and no problem.

I ended up moving the iTunes plist files into a folder on my desktop. This seemed to force iTunes to build new plist files. Now I could play a music cd with iTunes on my eMac. So there is something in iTunes that must be broken.

HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store. If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.

ITunes will not open my music CDs when I place them in the DVD drive. I am using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with AV software turned off. No luck. Cannot upload my music CDs to iTunes library. Any ideas?

Using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes, the software will not recognize my music CDs when inserted in my DVD drive. I put a CD in the drive and nothing happens. iTunes does not have a "start" button, or some menu option to tell it to begin copying music to the library, so it just sits there. When I first installed iTunes, it would open the CDs, but I would get an error message after the first track started to transfer. Now, after a coupel uninstalls, disc cleanup, etc., nothing happens when I insert the CD. I am lost here and about to sell my new Ipod Classic because it is useless to me. Maybe I'm just too old to own something like this? Any (serious) suggestions would be appreciated.

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

HT1473 It seems like many commercial music CDs won't import into iTunes (copy protection?), so you can only play them from the disc, not your other devices. Am I missing something?

More and more commercial music CDs won't seem to import into iTunes - they just spin, falter, and spit out. I would think I had a setting wrong except older CDs load with no problem. I'm guessing there's copy protection on the newer ones, which seems unfair if you want to, say, buy a CD that has bonus material not available via iTunes (and then have to buy the regular material again on iTunes). Is there a way around this? An easy fix so I can keep buying CDs when I want to? I know it's a technology that's on the way out, but it's not gone yet.

Audio CD copy protection is relatively rare. I doubt its use is on the increase as it would be just one more nail in CD's coffin. On the few occasions I've bought CDs that won't rip I've gone straight back to the store for a refund. If the drive is attempting to read at max. speed it might help to force it to read slower (if indeed you have that as an option) and it may help to switch the error correction mode.

My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac

My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac (I'm replacing current macbook)? Eventually, I will begin using itunes to download / purchase music. Do i need to transfer original library before updating itunes library on the cloud? What's order of operations?

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

How I can upload all my music CDs from my laptop's itunes to the iCloud? I want to free up space on my laptop.

How I can upload all my music CDs from my laptop's itunes to the iCloud? I want to free up space on my laptop and thought the iCloud was a storage site.

It's a syncing service, not a storage site. You can access your CD music from iCloud you have to subscribe to iTiunes Match: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.

ITunes won't load the songs from purchased music CDs

When loading purchased music CDs, the CD loads but iTunes won't load the songs. Error message: "The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for the file." I'm using an iMac PPC G4 with 768 MB RAM and OS 10.4.11 with iTunes 4.7.1. If I copy the songs into a folder I can push them into the iTunes library but these are huge AIFF files with no info and the machine can't (won't) transfer them into AAC files.

To what format are you trying to convert? What settings are you using? Has this just started or is this the first time trying this? I really don't know what the limitations are for iTunes 4.7. I thought I was being a luddite in sticking with 7.5....
Try an alternative ripper such as XLD or Max.

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Ripping Music CDs into iTunes

When ripping music CDs into iTunes, the tracks are occasionally saved into separate albums.… how do I avoid this? I want them in one album as they were on the CD so that I can play the music by clicking only one album.

The Gracenote database sometimes has entries that list a track via a different artist, usually when there's a guest artist on the track and so whoever uploaded the track data listed the artist as something like "Joe Smith featuring Fred Mertz". For instructions on correcting this, see:

Why did iTunes delete some of my older music? Please, please, please help!

After my old PC crashed, I transferred everything over to my new computer. All my old files were saved in a separate sub-folder. Some of the music was ripped from CDs, some purchased from iTunes. When I connected my iPod nano (4th gen) to merely back up, iTunes instead deleted random albums and music from, not only my iPod, but my music library as well. Some of the deleted music was purchased (& still available) thru iTunes. Other deleted music was from ripped CDs, some of it available on iTunes, some on older CDs that aren't currently available. It felt like someone coming into my home & tossing out possessions at random - I'm irritated and confused. I have an external HD with all the music supposedly on it (my son made the copy), but how do I get all this music back into my iTunes library? I know, I can connect the HD to my computer & copy all my old music files back to the desktop, but iTunes will not "find" them. I found if I merely copy a file rather than move it, iTunes asks for the original source of the file, whether it's a cd, thumb-drive, or external drive. And, if it deleted them once, I'm sure it'll do it again. I don't wish to lose the only remaining copies of these music files. Any advice would be welcome!

Thanks! I'll give this a try tomorrow...I had thought of creating a new folder on my desktop & copying all the music into that, then open iTunes & copy from the new desktop folder. I also have an old Creative zen player, which has most of my classical music on it; they have free downloadable software that's supposed to work with win 7, but iTunes converted it to the Apple format, so I'm afraid to hook that up. Also I have a Phillips MP3 player with music that's no longer on any of my storage devices, I don't know if they've even upgraded their software to work with win 7 or Apple format. Both of these devices are about 10 yrs old, but work like new. But, they haven't been synced in at least 6 years.

I am logging into iTunes with a new device. This was my wife's computer. When I log into iTunes I see her music. Did I lose my music library?
