Gracenote isn't naming the tracks on a CD I want to import

Every time I try to import a CD, Gracenote doesn't name the tracks. I've tried several CD's and tried importing the same CD on a friends computer and it worked fine.
I've checked all the settings in Itunes I know to check here's a list of what I've already done:
I tried to load the Itunes store to see if the firewall on my computer was blocking Itunes. I assume it isn't because I can load the store with no problem
I then went to Edit > Preferences, under preferences i clicked the advanced tab then the importing tag to ensure that the box next to "Automatically retrieve track names from internet" was checked. It was checked already.
When I put the the CD in the drive Itunes says that it's querying gracenote database but it never applies the track names.
I realize that I could simply type the info in but that in reality that isn't a simple task as I have accumulated way too much music for that to be an option.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks

"but I must use something like an FM converter and that requires all songs be in MP3 format."
No it doesn't.
An FM converter takes audio and sends it over FM to the radio.
A USB stick does not play audio.
You need something to play the audio (like an iPod) and plug the audio out into the FM converter.

  • I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices.

    I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side.  How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?

    First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
    BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub.

  • Sound Tracks show up as 2.0 instead of 5.1 and nameing the tracks

    Hi,
    I build a DVD / BR with 5.1 ac3 sound which plays fine on our sourround test system, so the sound IS 5.1. But from the information of the BR Player and from a Test Playstation the information says it is a 2.0 audio track.
    I'm a bit confused. I exported the ac3 from Premiere via "Export as Blue Ray" Audio only.
    May be I missed something?
    The second question: Is it possible to label the tracks in some kind, so that the usual drop down or pop up menues from DVD/BR Players show that there are different audio tracks?
    E.g. I do have one 5.1 track with less dynamic for 'Home System' playback and a more dynamic track for cinema / theater playback.
    It would be fine to switch to the correct track from the players menu and not have to guess wich one is playing...or do I have to set up a DVD/BR start menue where your can click on the wanted track?
    Thanks and regads.
    Using Adobe Encore CS 5 and soon CS6

    Hi ... no i used the Dolby Digital checkbox from the "Export Media" -> Media Encoder settings.
    And now I'm realy confused
    Should that be 'only' 2channel Stereo so? But why is the surround sound still be played on the 5.1 speakers system in the correct order?
    Whats going on ?
    Thnaks for Help.

  • How do I get song titles after the track has been installed in library. there used to be a get title option but in 11.0.1 I can't find it?

    This option used to be available in earlier versions of iTunes but I can't locate it in 11.0.1.
    While importing into the library the online link to gracenotes was lost and the track appears as Track 1 etc in the library

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
    If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

  • Logic Control : displaying order of the track

    Hello
    When you are in the Environment window the track, instruments ... are displaying from there number ;
    - track 1 to track x
    - instrument 1 to instrument x
    it does not respect how you have arrange your instrument, tracks ....
    Is it possible :
    - that the LC follow the order that the track, instruments are displayed
    - to have a "global" view at the environment level
    - to assign the key on the LC : "global view User" to display as above
    Many thanks in advance for your help
    Best
    Cyril

    But LC does not relate to the Environment audio mixer, it relates to the Track Mixer. If you want your audio mixer in the environment to relate to LC, you''ll have to arrange the objects to match the track mixer.
    BTW an easy way to make sure the track order matches the order in your environment is, when you set up the song, select and drag all the audio objects in the environment into the tracklist. (drop them on Track 1)
    Generally this is only a good idea at the start, before you have any regions in place in the arrange tracks, as, if you do it when you have content, the audio in the tracks will be assigned to different audio objects to what they were originally. (Although, you can get around this, by cutting all the track content then changing the order, as I described, then doing: 'paste at original position' and select 'keep Inst.' in the dialog which follows.)

    I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
    thanks!

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

  • TS1424 the tracks are skipping on the last two albums i purchased on itunes.  it isn't a disk problem.  definitely in the download.

    the tracks are skipping on the last two albums i bought from itunes.  it isn't a problem with the disk burning, when i play the albums in itunes the skips are even though it said the dowload had been successful.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • My Grandson has had his ipod touch stolen. The tracker device shows it in a front garden of another road - but it isn't. How accurate is the tracker device please?

    My Ipod touch has been stolen. The tracker shows it to be in a  front garden of a road nearby. But it is not there. How accurate is the tracker deviceand should I report it to the police please?

    The iPod touch does not have GPS, so the location accuracy is greatly reduced. It relies on the known location of nearby WiFi networks. As WiFi networks can extend for 100m or so, the iPod could be anywhere within a 100m radius of whichever WiFi router it is connected to.

  • HT203163 Every time I try to load an CD into the library it just creates more repeat tracks to tracks 01 - 1? and when I click on the track to get the name or album artwork iTunes tells me to log into the store and I do but it  doesn't seem to go anywhere

    Anyone have an idea as to why when I try to Import one of my CDs tiTunes just makes a track out of each song and doesnt name the track or the album.  This creates a problem when I want to load all of my albums/CDs into iTunes to transfer to my iPod Nano.

    When a CD shows up in iTunes (before importing), iTunes should ask Gracenote for information about the album and fill all that in for you. It sounds as though that's not happening.
    Check Edit/Preferences/General>when you import a CD: and make sure there is a tick-in-the-box named Automatically retrieve track names from the internet. If that is already selected, then you need to check that your iTunes can connect to the internet when you insert the CD into the drive.
    You do not need to sign into the Store for this to happen. To get the artwork for your CDs, just search for the album online and copy-and-paste the picture into the album once it's in your iTunes Library.

  • Possible to see at a glance who has/has not viewed pdf via the 'Tracker'?

    We are working on setting up procedures for Browser-based reviews. We were hoping we'd be able to see at-a-glance who had/had not viewed or sent back comments, and the date they sent them in the Tracker, but it seems to be just a list of who it was sent to originally. How do you know who has sent comments, other than manually scrolling through all the comments to see people's names?

    Hi;
    No, there isn't a way for you to see anything about who has saved progress.
    Thanks,

  • How can I copy albums from itunes to an SD card without splitting the tracks?

    I've tried putting albums onto an SD card from itunes on my Macbook Pro by dragging & dropping, but all the tracks have been split up. When I access the SD card the tracks are mixed up and not grouped together in albums.
    I've also tried to find my itunes files but unable to locate them using finder.
    Any help would be welcome.

    When you have albums in iTunes the songs are organized because iTunes is a database.  When you copy the albums/tracks to an SD card (or any other location) they are just files, there is no database keeping them in order.  So the order you see on the SD card is whatever sorting order you have the Finder set for (or other program if you are using it).
    The easiest way to ensure track files are in the desired order on a disk is to preface the track name with a sequence number ... so, for example, you rename Black Magic Woman as 01-Black Magic Woman, etc.
    The location of your iTunes Library is normally users/yourusername/Music/iTunes ... and your actual media files (albums & songs) are in a subfolder named iTunes Music

  • How do I get rid of the Track number in a song's name?

    So I just got a new windows computer and transferred all my songs from my old windows machine to this one. Unfortunately, a lot of the files have numbers in front of their name, in fact almost all of them do (I'm talking about the actual file in their respective folders). What puzzles me is some of the songs, once added to itunes, have the track number in front of their name in itunes, while others do not. I started to rename each song, but that is taking way too long. Do any of you know of a way to select a large group of songs and modify each name only a little with out changing each one to the same thing?  I pretty much have to delete 3 spaces before each song. Any suggestions would be really helpful.
    P.S. the sort cuts for play/pause/skip/reverse only work for windows media center, which really isn't great. When I try to use them they will literally launch windows media center. is there a way to change this so that they will work for itunes?

    Do a hard reset by pressing the button on the face of your Ipad and the on off switch.
