How do I get track names for a CD imported into my Itunes?

I am running itunes 11.1.3 (8).
I can 't find the command to get the track names for a CD I just imported into my itunes.
This used to be simple....
Any suggestions?

It still is simple, but as always you get the track names before you import the CD. iTunes has a preference setting so it will always do that or you can re-identify a CD using a menu item (see below). Once they are imported there is no way in iTunes to get the identification service to work. There are third party services that work outside of iTunes but for a single CD it is easier to just reimport the whole thing after correctly identifying first.

I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7

I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7 and I'm unable to find a solution.

I can't be certain exactly which steps are going to be needed in each case, but if you work through this in sequence hopefully one of the steps will prove effective.
First try this:
With iTunes closed.
Press the WinLogoKey+R
Type in %appdata% and press return
Double click on Apple Computer
Double click on iTunes
Delete the file CD Info.cidb
Start iTunes and try again.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist in the same folder.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting iTunesPrefs.xml. This will reset your some of your preferences in iTunes so be sure to check them and reset as required.
If that still hasn't resolved things close iTunes and try deleting the entire %appdata%\Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
Note that any iOS device backups are stored in the MobileSync folder within Apple Computer. Once things are working you should backup your devices again as soon as possible.
Or it might not be the preference files after all...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Could not get artwork for some albums. I am not getting any artwork for Cd's imported into Itunes. almost 400 albums and not one album artwork. what to do?

cannot get artwork for some albums is the feedback I am trying to get when trying to get album artwork for Cd's imported into my itunes. almost 400 Cd's computer is seen processing the infor however not one album artworkcan be seen what to do?

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

ITunes 11.4.0.18 will not get track names for imported mp3 albums.

I'm new to Apple (Windows 7 i7 Sandy Bridge processor 16GB ram) and recently got an iPod touch 5g 64GB and I am trying to figure out iTunes. I have GB's of albums that I have collected over the years in mp3 format. When I imported them to iTunes via...File>Add Folder to Library...It imported all of my albums, but, almost NONE of the tracks are in order and they are "scattered" for lack of a better word. Some are with the albums they are supposed to be with, but MOST made their own names and albums. Getting the tracks with the albums I fixed by doing it manually. Getting the tracks in order in the albums...HELP. I tried to "Get Track Names", but iTunes comes back with "iTunes cannot get CD track names for songs that were not imported using iTunes. To allow iTunes to look for CD track names for this song, import the song again using iTunes."???? I'm assuming that iTunes will only get the track names if they are imported from CD only and not mp3? If I have to manually enter all of the information in myself....God help me...just leave it unorganized???

When iTunes imports a CD it records the information used to look up the album in the Gracenotes database. When you add your tracks into a different library that data is no longer available. See Grouping tracks into albums for some tips on organizing iTunes content.

Thank you for helping.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

Getting track names for already transferred CDs

Had 1 to 1 session, technician explained how to get track names from Cds already transferred to MacBook pro. Can't recall procedure, is there a "walk thru" demo out there?

Yes, it did help, appreciate the hint re: right click! When I was at Apple Store, had my macally compact mouse which has right click capability. The mouse I use at home, or should say used to use, was not a right click device. I have purchased a wireles right click mouse, problem solved! So long as we're on the subject, I understand there is a way to have right click function with trackpad on MacBook pro, and chance you can explain that to me?? Thanks Much!

Unable to get track names for new album itunes 11.1.5

Hi All,
I have 2 computers running Mavericks
Both have the same version iTunes 11.1.5
On some imported albums I have not got the track names.
On one computer I can right click on the track and 'Get Track Names'+'Get album artworks' and it works, but on the other I do this and it does not.
Any thoughts on why one computer can do this and the other does not?
Both are connected to the internet and can connect to the itunes store.
Cheers
Simon

It may simply be that the CD you are trying to import is not in the CD track name database.

My laptop crashed and I had to get a new hard drive. How do I get the music from my Ipod back into my itunes library?

How do I get FLAC files from a hard drive into my itunes

I have a library of FLAC and shnf files on a hard drive.
How do I get these files (grouped into hundreds of folders) into Itunes?

iTunes cannot play FLAC files. There are "plug-ins" that supposedly allow iTunes to handle FLAC, which you can investigate, but it would probably be better to convert the files to a format iTunes can handle, such as AAC.
As far as SHN files, there is not even a plug-in (the format is virtually unknown except Deadheads!) so conversion is the best answer.
A conversion tool you can use is Switch. You can use the newly converted files for your iTunes ibrary, and save the original FLAC and SHN files for when you use a more capable player.

How can I get my music off my nano and into my itunes library?

We did an erase/install on our imac and forgot to back up the itunes library. Thankfully my music is on my ipod, but how do I get it back into my library?

You can try some 3rd party utilities like those above. Your mileage may vary.
Officially, there is no way to get music off your iPod and onto your computer. Sync is 1 way only.

Everything on my computer was erased and itunes was reinstalled. how do i get the songs on my ipod back into the itunes library?

How do I get all my songs from my ipod back into the itunes library if itunes was uninstalled and reinstalled?

Do you have iCloud? Or do you have a backup of iTunes profile? More info please
