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

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?

  • Error message when attempting to sync to itunes

    Recently I have been having a problem syncing my iphone (original model 16 gb OS 2.2.1 with iTunes (8.0). I get a message that says unable to read from iphone. I can work around this by forcing the iphone to reboot. I can then perform a normal sync. However, the next time I attempt to sync I get the same error message.
    I would appreciate any suggestions to fix this problem.
    Thanks!

    The message says iTunes could not connect to the iphone " " because an error occurred while reading from the device.
    This message appears as soon as the phone is connected. It is coincidental with the sound the iphone makes when it is plugged into the USB cable
    I have updated to OS 10.5.7 and iTunes version 8.2 and this has not made the problem any less frequent.
    As far as what I'm trying to sync, I don't know what you mean. I'm attempting to do a general periodic sync of the iphone and my Mac.

  • Error message when attempting to connect to itunes store

    When I try to go to the itunes store I receive an error message that says "the network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again". I can connect to everything but itunes store. I have contacted itunes support and they say it is a problem with my network. My ISP is HughesNet. No one in their tech support seems to know anything about a Mac. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thanks!

    This is the only solution that worked for me. I tried the setting the date one year ahead, didn't work. Tried settings reset, didn't work. Tried using alternate apple ID, didn't work. This is the only thing that worked, hope it helps anyone else that other soluctions don't work.
    Thanks for the information and help!

  • Error message when dragging wav files into iTunes

    I am getting an error message recently "There is not enough room on '''' to copy all of the requested files. iTunes will copy as many files as possible." No files end up getting copied. I have a 60GB video with only 22 used. I have dragged files before with no problem. I have tried deleting some files that I don't really listen to and it will help to free up some space for one or two more files, but I shouldn't have to do this at this point. Any clues?

  • I received this error message when attempting to open my iTunes:  apple application support not found

    I'm not sure if my iTunes won't open because my apple software might have been deleted from my computer during a clean out.  How do I reestablish my apple software without losing all my iTunes music?  Apple's error message is telling me that I have to uninstall iTunes and then re install it, but I'm pretty sure I'll lose everything if I do this.  Suggestions?????

  • Error message when attempting to sync with itunes

    when i try to sync my phone it says "itunes cannot read the content of this iphone, go to the summary tab in iphone preferences and click restore" but i dont want to restore my phone. any other options?

    A user named Benxine found a fix that worked for me after failing with all the others:
    IF your computer has an old cydia app called Wi-Fi Sync (you'll recognize it on your toolbar as a black silhouette of an iphone that NEVER goes away), then this is probably your main culprit.  Simple fix.
    1. Goto your hard drive in the finder
    2. Goto Library
    3. Goto Launch Daemons
    4. Throw this in the trash:  com.ghughes.wifisync.root.plist
    5. Goto Library
    6. Goto Application Support
    7. Throw this in the trash:  Wi-Fi Sync (it's an entire folder).
    8. Restart.
    9. Thank Benxine!!

    Error message when trying to import CD into itunes.  "Error occured while converting the file 'name of song' The required disk coannot be found"

    Hi Grigsby9,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. This error usually appears when your iTunes Media folder location is incorrectly configured in your iTunes Advanced preferences. Let’s check these preferences to makes sure that iTunes is point to a folder that exists:
    Locate and organize your iTunes files - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1391
    Find and change the iTunes Media folder location
    You can change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer.
    1.Mac OS X: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    2. Click the Advanced pane.

  • TS3694 Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

    Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

    The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step. 

  • Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    cornman30
    What computer operating system?
    And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
    The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
    The following is the iTunes' document how to.

    Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    If other than above, please supply more details to help us help you.
