Having trouble importing CDs

i am currently tackling the issue of my itunes not having AAC encoder under its importing preferences when i remembered it was the reason i had to import all my CDs under the apple lossless format. (this takes up so much room although the songs are good quality)
it doesnt look like i'm going to have much sucess with getting AAC onto my itunes and so i tried to convert my songs to mp3 but it came up with an unknown error [-223].
I believe i have a problem with Quicktime and thats the reason i a) dont have AAC as an importing option and b)have to import CDs as apple lossless. i have tried uninstalling/reinstalling both itunes and quicktim and downloading quicktime standalone but have had no sucess.
any help would be so greatly appriciated.
love princess.

  • Trouble importing CDs

    I'm suddenly having trouble importing CDs. The first minute of the first song will import, and then all the rest are "checked off" but there's no actual content in the library. I've done the CD diagnostics for both my CD drives with no problem found. I've installed the latest drivers from the Dell website. I'm holding out until a last resort before that change-the-registry business. This has all worked perfectly for the past year, and now, suddenly, there's an issue. Any other thoughts before I get enough nerve to try the "filters" instructions??

    You can always rip them using Windows Media Player and then add them to your itunes library.
    Just make sure to change the WMP default import settings, first.

  • Having trouble importing select pictures from a cd to my iphoto library

    I am having trouble importing (and viewing) my vacation photos from a cd to my iphoto library. Some of the photos I can view in finder, but when i click on the rest, I get a message that says "Item xxxx.jpg is used by mac os x and cannot be opened". When I tried to import the photos to my library... the ones I could view imported no problem, the ones I couldn't view will not import and I get a message saying "unreadable files: the following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)". I am just sick that I cannot find these photos!!! =( especially since I had them on iphoto before I cleaned out my computer (so I've had them in my library before). Any ideas? I am in desperate need of help! =(
    P.S. When I try to move the pictures to my desktop, I get a notice that says, "you may need to enter the name and pasword for the administrator on this computer to change the item named xxxx.jpg"... when I click continue, another message pops up and says, "the item xxx.jpg contains one or more busy items that cannot be changed"

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What do you have set in the System/CDs and DVDs preferences to do when a disk is inserted? If the option is not set to the Finder do so and see if that will make any difference.
    Otherwise boot into Safe Mode and see if you can copy the files from the CD to a folder on the Desktop. Boot back into your normal account and see if you can import. Or import while still in the Safe Mode.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Im having trouble importing mov files into premiere pro on creative cloud, have installed quicktime

    Im having trouble importing mov files into premiere pro on creative cloud, original problem was no video and only audio when I imported mov file, so I have installed quicktime after reading that may solve the problem,but now an error message reads codec missing or unavailable, any help would be appreciated

    MOV is a wrapper... what is inside the wrapper?

  • HT5294 I am having trouble importing converted .MTS files

    I am having trouble importing .MTS files converted from file not camera.
    Data rates are low and not match 3 camera editing seq. (2 camera HD files imported off camera into iMovie)
    I am using Wondershare Ultimate 3.0 and have tried several options in HD & Editing sections
    with custom selections.

    you do have access to the original mts?
    then use the free re-wrapper reMux
    takes just a few seconds.
    on import to FCPX don't forget to optimize for a better editing experience …
    most of those free/cheap 'converters' from AppStore abuse the open-source ffmpg-engine (without respecting the GPL)  with wrong settings …

  • Brand new Imac user having trouble importing photos (jpgs)

    I am a brand new iMac user and am having trouble importing some of my photos into my new computer.
    Here is my dilemma:
    * All of my pics are jpgs that were shot using a sony DSC-W50 digital camera.
    * All were backed up on my exteral harddrive from my old Sony PC.
    * I loaded all of them onto my new iMac into the "Photos" area
    * When I try to import them to the iPhoto library, I get a message that either says "already in the iPhoto library" or 'unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data"
    * I can open all of the photos that I get this error msg on in other photo programs so I know the files are photos and are good.
    HELP!

    iPhoto is not an image viewer, it's a Database with built-in image viewer, lightweight editing and version control, and like any database, data needs to be imported. However, iPhoto will not import from the iPhoto Library Folder.
    So, move the photos to the Desktop and then import them from there.
    Here's what happens next:
    iPhoto will make a copy of them in the iPhoto Library Folder. There they will be put into the Originals Folder. Here's how the iPhoto Library Folder is organised:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    If you need any more asistance post more.
    Regards

  • I am having trouble importing photos, gets stuck on the same photo each time?!?

    I am having trouble importing almost 3000 pics from my phone to my computer. Start up disk should be fine, cleaned it up before I began.  Import gets stuck on the same photo each time I try the import.  I have had to force quit a few times, and it can't seem to get past that same picture near the end.  Please help?!? It never gives me an error, it just keeps spinning and nothing is importing.

  • Having trouble important my Google contacts via Microsoft Exchange. The Exchange pop up says that I have entered the wrong password.

    Having trouble important my Google contacts via Microsoft Exchange. An Exchange pop up says that I have entered the wrong password. Help?

    I found a fix!! Refer to this article regarding using Microsoft Exchange for Google accounts: http://www.zdnet.com/with-new-gmail-and-google-maps-ios-apps-the-iphone-5-is-cle arly-the-best-smartphone-available-7000008756/
    In a nutshell, the Google/Microsoft Exchange combo will no longer work on apple devices. You will need to delete your Exchange account altogether. I know, scary! After you delete it, add your Gmail account like you would add any other regular email account on your device [Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail > add your info]. That takes care of your email and calendar.
    Now to get your google contacts back! Refer to these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872?viewlocale=en_US
    I promise, these steps worked for me (even though I was wincing while I deleted my Exchange account). Now I have my Gmail, Google contacts, and Google calendars (even the shared calendars!) on both my iPhone and iPad :D

    Are you saying that the tick-box shown in my screenshot, isn't there? (Yes, this is iTunes 11 - I've turned on the sidebar and the Menu bar. So you can see, this is a CD in my drive that we're looking at.)
    If it isn't, go to Edit/Preferences/General and turn on the tick-box box
    You can show the Menu Bar (with Edit on it) by using CTRL + B

  • I am having trouble importing powerpoint to captivate

    I am having trouble importing powerpoint to captivate.
    I am using captivate 6 and powerpoint version2013.
    I have saved my file three times with the right sequence, but when it converts to captivate ischanges the sequence of the slides.  Not all slides have animation.

    Hi there,
    Can you please tell are you importing the .ppt or .pptx?
    Captivate 6 is not tested with PowerPoint 2013, please check the help file link: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/microsoft-powerpoint.html
    If the sequencing of slides is not O.K., then are you able to manually change the sequence in captivate? (as a workaround).
    Thanks.

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.
