How do I get rid of distortion when playing old CDs in iTunes?

Yesterday I imported a fairly old CD into iTunes and was disappointed to find playback of the CD was so distorted it was impossible to listen to.
Here are some facts:
All my other music in iTunes still plays perfectly
The CD plays perfectly in QuickTime Player on the same machine from the same drive, so it's not a hardware or CD problem
A newer CD imported today into iTunes imported perfectly
A bit of research on the web suggests it's to do with the fact that the CD was manufactured a long time ago - the date on the disk itself is 1987.
I've upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, removed all iTunes plug-ins from my iMac (as instructed by one of the Apple iTunes troubleshooting pages) and I've also switched off Equalizer, Crossfade, Sound Enhancer and Sound Check, but none of these make any difference.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is it something to do with the import settings? If so, can you tell me what they should be set to?
Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I wasn't specific about this. I get distortion in iTunes when I play straight from this particular CD and when I import it. With QuickTime, I get no distortion when I play straight from the CD, but (I hadn't tried this before but I just gave it a go) I do get distortion when I play the .m4a file created by iTunes. So presumably it's something iTunes is doing when it processes the .aiff file from the CD.
At the moment the import settings are:
Import using: AAC Encoder
Setting: High Quality (128 kbps)
with the 'Use error correction...' box checked.
I've never had to touch them before. Is there a better setting to use for importing early CDs?
Thanks.

That may have been added by an extension or because you installed some (smiley) software on the computer.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Use a different browser.

How do I get rid of a ton of old reimported email from the Mail App?

I was having an sync issue with a particular email address, it wasn't getting the emails forwarded from GMail into my Apple Mail account, so I followed the directions I got from apple.com
"Go to your home Library folder, then to the Mail folder and remove the “DefaultCounts”, “Envelope Index” and the “LSMMap” files."
"The next time you start up Apple Mail it should ask you to reimport all messages and it will rebuilt the index."
So, before I could use the Apple Mail, I had to let it reimport all messages and rebuild the index, which I did. Now, I did notice it was reimporting well over hundreds of thousands of files. Not sure if they were emails or what, but it took a long time to rebuild.
Now after, the email address was able to forward or "push" the email to my Mail program. Problem fixed. But hours later I looked at my available harddrive space and noticed I only 80GB's availble when before I have 224GB's of Harddrive space available on my 500GB home drive.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, but there's no other explanation I can come up with because I didn't import anything or install anything else on my computer that day, especially that big.

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

How do I get rid of yahoo when I open firefox?

I recently had my computer fixed a had to reinstall firefox. Now yahoo comes up instead of Google.

Hello,
Did you install Firefox from Mozilla? If you don't the installer is usually bundled with adware. Make sure you download from:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Check your search bar settings, the bar to the right of your address bar. If the icon is a Yahoo icon, then click on it or click the down triangle to see the list of search engines. Click Google if you want to change it back to that.
You can also check your home page settings at:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
You may also want to look at your Firefox shortcut:
* Right click your Firefox shortcut and select Properties
* Check the Target line under the Shortcut tab and make sure nothing is appended after "firefox.exe"
If you have a Yahoo toolbar, uninstall it:
# Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the Remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This extension will reset some of your settings, including your home page and search, and then uninstall itself.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
If you find that your preferences keep getting reverted back after you restart Firefox, please see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Did this fix the problem? Please let us know!

How do I get rid of Yahoo when I open a new tab?

My home page is set to Firefox but when I open a new tab, the tab is not Firefox with all my most visited sites! it's Yahoo.

Here are some potential diagnoses and remedies when you run into problems with that setting:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting in about:config:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Also, Advanced SystemCare can cause this.
Any luck?

HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back. when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone. the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

How do I get rid of the cloud icon out of my iTunes for Windows!!

Hey, my request is really simple. I own no Apple products anymore and I'm down to using just one Apple product and now I have updated to the latest iTunes which I now regret hecause my podcast list was so much neater and simpler. I can't remove my old podcasts from my view as this cloud thingy has appeared. Can someone help me remove this icon and return to normal please? If it's not possible then I need to know and then I say farewell to Apple and hello to ANYTHING that can manage my podcasts and music without a cloud symbol. Please help.

Well, there is a way to do the similler.
By creating smartplaylist for podcast.
My iTunes language is not English, and for mac. so keyword can be little bit different from yours.
but
make smart play list as
+ 'Media Kind' as 'Podcast'
*if you want specific subscription then +album
*if you want un played list only, then + 'play count' as 0
then you'll see the list just in your computer.
anyway I'm not sure why the **** smart playlist of podcast cannot be shuffle.

How do you get rid of or reduce the "other" section in iTunes for an iPhone 5?

I have more space taken labled as "other" than I do anything else. I've spent hours researching and I've tried many different things. Please help!!!

You should import all pics taken with the iphone as you would from any digital camera.
You should amke sreu you ahve synced your contacts/calendars to your computer
You should transfer your itunes purchases made from the iphone to your computer.
Make sure that you have put everything on your computer, if you haven't already, before restoring.
The backup does not contain any itunes content. Contacts are only backed up to keep recents and favorites. I would never rely on the backup for your pics. You should importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera
