Help--Cannot import any songs

Hi, if anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it. I upgraded to XP Home from Windows Me so I could transfer music to my ipod, but I have put several audio cds into my drive, and they are supposed to show up in the source list of itunes, but they don't. Nothing happens at all. I am just unable to import any songs, period. I've fiddled around for hours, looking what could be wrong, trying out the troubleshooting tips, but nothing works. Please help!

Carrie,
Have you looked here?
iTunes for Windows doesn't recognize my audio CDs
Since this is an iTunes issue (and not an iPod one), you may get a better response to your question by posting on the iTunes for Windows forum.
There are a few iTunes experts who live there who rarely visit this forum.

  • HT1296 somebody can help me?, I am trying to sync my ipad but i get the following message: iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad "Fernando Velazquez Ipad" because no songs in the playlist "Purchased" can be copied to this iPad.

    iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad “Fernando Velazquez Ipad” because no songs in the playlist “Purchased” can be copied to this iPad.

    That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
    by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

    I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

    I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

  • I can't import any songs into iTunes.

    I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

    I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

  • Can't import any songs

    I can't import any songs to Itunes. The only ones in my playlist are the ones I bought from Itunes store. My IE keeps shuting down and sends a report to Microsoft.

  • Cannot import any files on Lightroom 4.2

    I have been having problems with importing all files to Lightroom since my Macbook was 'healthchecked'!! I get the message 'cannot read files'.
    This started with Lightroom 3 - where I have tried to delete the preference file and then recreate - no luck, after alot of other things tried, I then
    uninstalled Lightroom 3 and installed a fresh version of Lightroom 4.2 - and the problem still exists.
    I suspect it is a configuration problem but am not technical, so I need some non-techie suggestions please, I am getting very very frustrated!!
    Can anyone help, please.

    Victoria,
    Thank you for you reply, it must have been something to do with the
    permissions of the folders as I just decided to create a new folder as
    the destination folder and that worked!!
    So thank you so much, I just now need to organise all the photographs.

    Which folder are you setting as the Destination, for the files to be
    imported into?  Does it work if you set it to, say, Desktop? 
    That "cannot be read" error message more often means "cannot be
    written" (yes, I know, that's stupid!!!), so it's probably a folder
    permissions issue.

  • 'itunes cannot add any songs to the ipod 'bla bla' because no songs exist in the playlist 'leo tolstoy- etc' can be copied to this ipod' .

    When trying to copy an audio book that I have purchased in itunes (which I have done for years) a messge has suddenly started coming up saying 'Itunes cannot add any songs to the ipod 'bla bla' because no songs exist in the playlist name of book' can be copied to this ipod' ' It worked a couple of weeks ago when I copied half of a book and it has worked for the past few years, but suddenly now none of my ipods will work with audio book yet they will with songs in my playlists. Infact it seems as though my audio books have gone yet they are there in print ...aghhh this is so frustrating.. please can anyone help. thank you

    Was there an answer??!!! I have the same issue and its driving me nuts to the point I want to leave apple forever! Itunes *****!!

  • I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? Any ideas :)

    I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing from the port? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? I used the headphones in the laptop for the first time yesterday and have had this problem ever since. Any ideas

    The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck.  Try inserting the earphone plug a few times.  If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.
    Ciao.

  • Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

    What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone?  It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync.  But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
    I have the latest version of itunes
    Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
    all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
    THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
    Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music?  How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost?  How do I get it to sync?

    That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.

  • So I updated to lightroom 3.6-now i cannot import any .nef files?

    so I updated to lightroom 3.6-now i cannot import any .nef files? is that what you call progress?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure why you think Lightroom 3 will support the D610 as it was only announced on October 8, 2013. Support for the D610 was released in the Lightroom 5.3 RC, see Lightroom 5.3 RC now available on Adobe Labs
    If you wish to use you D610 files in Lightroom 3.6 you will need to download the Adobe DNG Converter, convert your NEF to DNG and then import into Lightroom 3.6. The DNG Converter can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    Or, better option is to upgrade to the current version of Lightroom  

  • Cannot import any pic file type already on my "hard disk" to LR 4.4 library on macbook pro retina.

    Cannot import any pic file type already on my "hard disk" to LR 4.4 library on macbook pro retina. I am able to it on my pc win7-64 with LR 4.3. Any solution? Import from sd card works ok.

  • I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4 (last version updated) for MAC

    I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4
    (last version updated) for MAC
    in the beginnig it was  working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
    I use .mp4 files
    Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
    the error says "was not able to import video files"
    thanks

    Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
    I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
    So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!
