Error trying to import CD into iTunes

I put a music CD into my Mac. iTunes read it, found the album name, track names, etc. I clicked on "Import CD" (my import settings are set to Apple Lossless, Error Correction=on). Received an error message that said "Error occurred while converting the file - An Unknown Error Occurred (-50)". It happens with any audio CD that I put in. I don't think I've changed anything in my system, so I'm at a bit of a loss...up until this week, I've not had any problems importing CDs into iTunes (I've imported hundreds of CDs into my library over the last few years)...
Any ideas?

Something was wrong with the iTunes library. I pointed iTunes to a different library, then pointed it back, and everything was fine.

    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.

  • I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

    I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

    That WON'T convert it.
    If I do the same with an MP3 and change the extension to JPG, it DOESN'T make it a picture. It makes it unusable.
    Change it back to AVI and download "Handbrake". http://handbrake.fr/
    Use HandBrake to "convert" it to M4V.

  • HT203175 keep getting error code 81 when trying to import cds into itunes

    since installing itunes 11 i keep getting a error message which says an unkown error occurred (81) when trying to impoprt cd's
    any ideas as to why would be helpful thanks.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Can't import CD into ITunes - Windows 7 error

    Tried to import CD into Itunes on VAIO laptop, using Windows 7. Get the following message "Itunes has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Have no problem importing on another computer using Windows 2000. Very frustrating. Any suggestions?

    First we should check the precise version number of your iTunes. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
    Do you have a version 10.1.0.54 ? If so, upgrade to a higher version as per the following document:
    [iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

  • Audio CD burning error- I opted for importing songs into iTunes as MP3

    Hi,
    Before I started importing songs into iTunes, I chose int eh iTunes preferences to import all songs as MP3, as I wanted the option of being able to burn CDs to play on my car MP3 player.
    When I tried to burn a CD, I got an error message that these songs could not be burnt onto the CD. This had the option where I could see all the errors and the list was of all the songs that I was trying to burn.
    BTW, I created a new playlist, dragged the required songs to this playlist from the library and pressed the burn disc option.
    What am I doing wrong? Could it be that the drive is faulty?

    First of all, how long is the total time of all songs? If it is more than 80 minutes, you can't record to the CD as an audio CD. If that is the case, and you say you have an MP3 cd player in your car... you might want to try burning to the disc as an MP3 CD. Go to iTunes preferences, then click "Advanced," then "Burning" and you'll see an option for "MP3 CD." Click that, and then when you burn the disc, you can put as many songs as will fit onto the disc.
    Also, rewritable CDs aren't any better... as a matter of fact, a lot of audio CD players can't read them. A regular CD-R should be fine, even one rated at 40x speed.

  • My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works.  I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?

    My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works.  I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Cannot import CDs into iTunes, disc is corrupted and unreadable error.

    Cannot import CDs into iTunes, keep getting disc is corrupted and unreadable error. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
    If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

  • "Import Files into iTunes" automator action not working

    I'm having an issue with a simple automator action, "Import Files into iTunes". It's the only thing I have in the workflow but when I drop audio files onto the application, the action encounters an error. In trying to figure out what was amiss, I read that there was a version number conflict after iTunes 10, so I followed the instructions here but they did not fix the issue. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to try or how to diagnose the issue? I'm running Yosemite (10.10.2) and iTunes 12.1.0.50. Thanks for the help!

    Yeah, I'd happy provide details if I saw them. The message itself just says, "The action “Import Files into iTunes” encountered an error." Is there a way to get more information on the error?
    Thanks!

  • Import Files into iTunes

    I've tried creating 4 or 5 different workflows and can not get the "Import Files into iTunes" action to work. This is only part of a bigger workflow that I want to create, but it's one of the most important steps that I can't seem to make work.
    There is no error in the Automator log, it shows the action completed. But nothing gets added.
    Can someone confirm that this action does indeed work in Snow Leopard 10.6.2 ?

  • Transport request trying to import itself into non existing client.

    Hi,
    We are trying to import  one transport request ( Source client of transport request 101 )  but it trying to import itself into the client 135. This 135 client has been deleted long time back.
    I checked , there are no references in transport configuration to this client.
    Error we got during import:-client 135 does not exist. Choose another client.
    Can someone pl. let me know what could be the reason.
    Best Regards,
    Tushar.

    Hi Markus,
    We did not give target client while importing. We left it blank. But source client of transport request  is 001. But in log
    600 ( default login client )------> selection for import
    135                                 -
    > Selection for Import.
    600 is ok but why this 135 is selected for import. That is the problem.

  • Import movies into itune

    Hello,
    how can I import movies into itune. I have tried it with many formates but i doesen´t work and it doesn´t convert.
    Thanks

    If they are your own private vdieos, it's fine to import them. They need to be in the right format i.e. Quickitme format or MPEG4.
    If the are not you need to convert them, here is a link to a free converter, I have not tried it myself so can not vouch for its quality:
