Help Loading CDs into Itunes 11

I recently upgraded Itunes to 11 and lost a portion of my library. I am reloading the CDs and have hit a snag. I can only load 1 CD then it will not load any more. I have closed and reopened Itunes without luck. I reboot and I can get 1 CD in but that is it. I can see the CD on My Computer and play it through there but can't get Itunes to download after one.
Any hints?
Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. With a number of regular store bought music CDs that I have tried to play with and rip into iTunes, the CD has "stalled", I guess - basically the program freezes, and then the only way that I can stop iTunes is by Force Quitting. The specific behavior of the CD drive is that it will speed up and apparently scan the CD for approximately 3 seconds and then slow down (maybe stop) for about 2 seconds, and repeat this in cycles apparently endlessly unless I Force Quit or shut down. When I use Force Quit, it indicates that iTunes is not responding. A few times that it's done this I've let it go for 10 or 12 minutes and it just continues to stall with no change. I've tried pressing the computer eject button and holding it, pausing, skipping tracks, and using a "Skip Doctor" CD repair tool to fix the CDs that I've had the problem with - nothing has worked. 2 or 3 I've hit all kinds of buttons trying to get a response, and I've come back to the computer 5 or 10 minutes later and the CD has finally paused or ejected. What has me so perplexed about this issue is that (a) I take very good care of my CDs for the most part, and (b) this is a brand new MacBook Pro, which I've also taken good care of. My mother's '98 Pontiac minivan was playing these CDs fine last summer. They played fine in my Dell that I got in 2000. I recall that these places on the CDs that it's stalling at are places where I've heard the CD skip in the past, but I've never had this problem with the CD stalling and causing the device that's playing it to become unresponsive. I can't think of anything that I've done to the CD drive or any other part of the computer that would have caused this. Please let me know what you think I might try to resolve this. Thanks.

Loading CDs into itunes

Does anyone have a problem loading, meaning that a CD just stalls and stalls.... and stalls.... then it won't eject and I have to restart to get it out?
I also have a problem sometimes with a CD that churns and churns and then I have the last song on the CD actually IN itunes but it's durations (in minutes) is triple digits???

HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

How to load CDs into old mini and transfer to new mini w/o superdrive

My current mini is a 2.5Ghz Intel Core i5, running OSX 10.9.2. I did not purchase the external superdrive.
My older mini is late 2006, running OSX 10.6. It has a superdrive.
Is there a way that I can load CDs into the old mini and then transfer the music to the new mini?
Both computers are on the same home network (connected to the same router), but the only thing that I can do at present is access Quicken which is on the new computer from the old computer.
I've considered copying the iTunes Library from the old computer onto a flash drive and copying that library into the new computer but it doesn't look easy to merge libraries on the new mini.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Owen

You should run first Sofware Update and go to Mac OS X 10.9.5.
You can import then transfer as sugggested or you can RIP to the new computer using this...

How do you import copyright controlled cds into Itunes?

Hi
how do you import copyright controlled cds into Itunes?
When i put the cd into my computer, Itunes does not read it like a regular cd. It does not show up in my source list.
I just want to put the songs on the cd onto my ipod.
The cd will play in windows media player and i was able to save the cd as wma files onto my computer, and then i tried to import those files, but Itunes says the file is copyright controlled, and the only way for itunes to import it is with the orignal cd? The original cd was in my D drive the whole time, but it still will not let me import.
I also tried physically looking into the CD for the music files, but those aren't there. The cd is like an enhanced cd where if you look into the drive for files there are no files except for 2 icons. The actual icon the open the player to play the cd and a uninstall icon.
does anyone know how to do this? PLEASE HELP!

I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes. I don't think that is the problem. Music companies have started issuing "copyright controlled" cds now especially on import versions of cds. I have the original cd, but Itunes cannot import it due to the copyright because it is protected. I read the "help" file on the cd, and what it does is you can play it as much as you like, you can make a copy of the cd only 3 times. The copy of the CD is also copyright protected. I have tried Itunes, WMA, Sonicstage, Sonic and etc programs, but nothing has worked.
Hopefully, someone from APPLE will now what I mean about the copyright controlled CDs. I only want to be able to listen to the music on my IPOD. Nothing has worked

Importing CDs into iTunes for Macbook Pro

For Chrismas this year I recieved a new Macbook Pro. On my old computer I would import my CDs into iTunes to listen to music, rather than buying all new music that I already have! This is my first time owning any kind of apple computer and I have no clue how to do certain things on it! I would really like to import my CDs so I can listen to music, but this computer has no CD drive and I have no idea how to do so! I would really like to figure this out so I don't have to spend more money on music that I already own! Please help a confused new Mac user!! Thank you!

Pioneer DVR-XD09
THAT'S the one I have and use with my Mini.
I got it four years ago for my daughter, with a Netbook, which has since been retired. It comes with a "dual" USB cable (2 into 1 - 1 for data,1 for power) but I got an AC adapter for the power so it only uses one USB port now. The dual cable comes in handy when you're on the go, though. No external power source needed.
It reads and writes (+and -) CD-Rs CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, single and dual layer. About the only thing it won't do is BluRay.

Loading Movie into Itunes?

Ok, so I understand that I may have to convert the movies once I have them on Itunes in order for them to play on my 80GB Classic but the problem I'm having is actually getting the movie on to Itunes. I have the movie in my computer but have no idea how to load it into Itunes...where do I go, what do I do? Please Help.

I have video footage taken on a digital camera which I would like to put on my ipod. It's currently in 'My Pictures' section of my laptop. Would it already be in MPEG4 format or do i have to do something to convert it so I can put it on my ipod. This is footage I have taken myself so no issues with copyright.

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which was unknown imported as single tracks. How can I combine these into one album

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which came up as unknown has imported as single tracks named track 1, track 2 etc. It wasn't an obscure CD (Paul Carrack - the journey so far) but not one that's available in the itunes store. I've manually changed the track names but they all appear as single tracks in the "Albums" section. Is there a way to put them all into an album to show up as an album with the other albums. Other "unknown" CDs I imported have imported with the correct track names but just don't have the album artwork so I don't understand why this one is behaving totally different?

If you select the tracks all together in iTunes/ Songs then go to File/Get info you will be asked "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?" Go ahead and you can make them into an album, putting in the artist name, etc.

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900 songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

I tried Notpod but can't get it to work. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+). I also can't do this in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
Thanks anyone who can help

I have ripped all of my Cds into iTune, now I cannot find where some of the artists have been filled, not all the artists are listed, yet others are listed multiple times as they play with other groups. How do I list all one artist under his name? I know

Sorry this will appear pretty basic stuff. I have ripped all my Cds into iTunes, but in starting to make playlists it is apparent that some artists are listed multiple times as they appear with different bands, and others do not appear at all. I have tried searching different categories, compilations etc, and Finder box does not bring them up.
My questions are:-
Do I need additional software to manipulate my tunes in iTunes?
If so what is suggested?
or if not:-
How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?
How do I make my "lost" artists tunes appear?
Thanks for any advice.

I am not really following what the problem is here. Artists are listed in the Artist field. I guess you could stick individual artists in a band in a field such as comments, but then you would have to include searching the comments field in your search. In which fields are these names located?
How are you making these playlists? Are these smart playlists or are you just dragging tracks to a playlist?
Are you doing this search with Finder's find or with iTunes' search?
If I knew exactly what it was you were trying to do I could tell you if you need addditional software. In reality though there isn't "additional software" for iTunes. There's Applescript plugins but I don't see how the ones with which I am familiar would have anything to do with searching for artist names.
How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

How do I find bad music files? I have thousands of files, but some are bad. When I try to load them into iTunes, it just spins. I need a routine to identify and remove the bad files. Any ideas?

I have downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they no longer sync with my iPod touch. They play on the computer but won't sync

I downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they wont sync withe my itouch. It used to work but won't anymore.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.
