HT1473 Itunes is not seeing my CD drive

Am trying to import a CD of music into Itunes. The drive is not showing up on Itunes, it is just not seen. The album of course is not showing either. If anybody has an idea on what I am missing, please let me know! thanks

In this case iTunes made empty folder C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Apple ComputerMobileSyncBackup
Your backups is in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Try to replace all folders from Backup to SyncBackup. It must be help, but you should do it every time when you want see your backups in iTunes.
I don't know, where is problem and I haven't any idea from Apple too.

ITunes are not seeing my external drive as the library

Hi, I'm struggling to get music on my iPhone.
All our music is stored on an external hard drive that we use with our iPods. My wife and I recently got iPhones and we're trying to put some music on them.
iTunes is setup to get the music from the hard drive but for some reason I can not access it any more. My problem is that iTunes are not seeing my external drive as the library.
Here's how I've set my iTunes up:
Edit - Preferences - Advance
iTunes media folder location: J:\Lacie_iTunes (that's where the music is stored)
Now this worked perfect with our iPods but for some reason iTunes is not seeing the music anymore.
In iTunes, if I click on Library and then Music all I get is a screen to either download music (with tutorials) or import CD's (with tutorials).
I'm using iTunes 9 and Windows 7, the iTunes version on my wife's laptop is an older version but I do not think that that is the problem.
Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!

Setting the iTunes Media folder in preferences only moves the content to the external drive. The library database files will still be at the default location of ...\My Documents\My Music\iTunes. When you move the portable drive from one machine to the other you'll have access to the content, but not the database hence you get an empty library and the prompt to add some content.
See this recent post for pointers on how to rearrange the database & media folders so that everything is truly portable. I don't have time just now to rewrite the instructions for your specific drive & folder names but if it's not clear I'll pop by later and write them out again.

Itunes does not see my cd drive

My iTunes installation used to show my CD drive in the left column when I inserted an audion cd into my drive. Now, suddenly, it does not. I can force iTunes to play the audio file on the cd but when it finishes playing a tune, the next tune up always is selected automatically from my Music Library. Very annoying. How do I get iTunes to see my cd drive and list it in the left column?
Thanx .

Hello coffeethecat28,
I found an article with steps you can take when iTunes is not recognizing an audio CD. I recommend following the steps in this article:

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod Touch. It says the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver cannot be installed.

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod touch. After the update I got a message that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver could not be installed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times, but still cannot fix the problem. I have followed the suggested fixes in Apple Support. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Try the actions here for that driver.

Love to hear from an Apple person on this. Samsung is looking more and more attractive.

Itunes did not see ipad after windows reinstalled

Hello! I reinstalled windows on my notebook and i have next problem: itunes did not see my ipad. When I first time connect it, the system started to searching drivers and after that - said that the drivers did not have digital signatur. In manager device i deleted this driver, reconnected ipad and windows saw it right, but itunes did not see the device. I reinstalled itunes (the problem with drivers was again), stoped another services with msconfig ( how they wrote in itunes help pages), but it the same: itunes did not see my device.

Imac will not see my hard drive on start up, wants to start from network start up disk that does not exist. How to get rid of it? So there is just one choice / my hard drive.

I have a Intel duo Imac. Everything has been running relatively smoothly for a few years now. All of a sudden my computer will not start. I get the flashing folder with a question mark.
When I go to Start up disk in my system perfernces while the computer is on. I see 2 possible choices. One is my hard drive with the operating system shown. The other is a non-existant Network Start up disk with a question mark in it ( looks like a hard drive with a question mark and it say's its a "network start up disk).
All I think I want to do is get rid of the Network startup with the question mark. I can not find anywhere how one can just remove an old or non existant start up disk without reformatting.
I believe this came from a clients hard drive who had a network system on it. We no longer have that drive. It no longer exists. But a latent icon shows up in start up disk.
When I go to change the start up disk. I can change it to either the hard drive or the network with the question mark. But when I select my hard drive and then got to restart the computer. I get the flashing folder with a question mark on start up. I have also seen the flashing globe a couple times.
When I attempt to run disk utility from may install disk ( holding down "C" on start-up ). Disk utility does not see my hard drive. Just the Apple install disk with the disk utility on it.
What can I do to remedy this short of re-installing? Will a program like Disk Warrior or Tech Tool help?

Thank you. That's what I thought will need to happen.
One more question. I tried using the Apple install disk that came with the computer. It's an OS 10.5.6 disk. It does not see my 10.6.8 system internal hard drive to repair. All it see's is itself 10.5.6 disk. Do you think I can use a 10.8+ disk utillity since that is a higher system it will see the 10.6.8. Where the 10.5.6 does not?
I don't want to turn the computer off for fear I'll get the question mark again. P-Ram got me going last time but for how long I don't know? It would be nice to be able to turn the computer off for the night and startup as usual to give it a rest and try to reset itself.
Thanks for your help, I know I will eventually need to re-install. But I am in the middle of a project with tight deadlines and all I can do right now is back-up. Trying to migrate to another computer temporarily to finish the job. That's a lot of extra work in the short time also.
Just trying to put a band-aid on it for another couple weeks.

Bootcamp does not see replacement DVD drive in Mac Pro3,1

Recently purchased LG Super-Multi Drive - Mac Pro Kit 24X 5.25" Internal DVD/CD Writer from OWC and installed it in lower DVD drive according to the manuel provided including wire to Sata plug in Mac Pro3,1. A difference is that Top of 2 DVD ports has a faulty drawer door so I have removed the original Apple DVD device from it.
I now have DVD access/play using LG in Mountain Lion with bottom Drive but none at all in Boot Camped Windows 7 or 8 which do not see the SATA drive in lower drawer.
Wondering if there is any fix for this.

My Latest email back & forth with OWC:
My Mac Pro is 3,1 early 2008. My understanding before purchase was that it would work in Mt. Lion and Windows.
Is there anyone who knows how to make this work?
This is a very well known issue that was discovered shortly after the 2006 Mac Pro first shipped.
Sincerely,
OWC Andy

Equium A60 does not see a recording drive

Sadly more help is needed with my Equium A60 following on from the earlier fault of the missing CD\DVD drive. Thanks for the help earlier, I did get my cd drive back in 'My Computer' and it does read cds..
Today I tried to put some mp3s on a known working CDRW and my DVD writer is not seen. I get a error message saying you don't have a cd writer.. I have CD Creator 6 which I have been using ok before, that too does not see a recording drive on my laptop.
I can no longer format a blank cdr or drag and drop on a cdrw formatted previously.
Any ideas anyone.?? Thanx.!!

Hi,
in 'My Computer' right-click on the DVD drive and select properties. Check if on the record tab CD-recording is activated.
Bye

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Moved to new PC from WinXP to Win7, and iTunes does not see library

My old laptop was running Windows XP. My new laptop is running Windows 7. I installed iTunes and copied my the contents of my "iTunes Music" directory into the "iTunes Media" directory (from "Documents and Settings/<user name>/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/ into "Users/<user name>/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Media).
My iTunes Media directory on my old laptop was set to the iTunes Music directory, and my iTunes Media directory on my new laptop is set to the iTunes Media directory. However, iTunes does not see my music on my new laptop.

ITunes does not see airport express speakers but airfoil does

Have restarted AE to no avail.

Having a similar problem. iTunes 6.0.2 "sees" the Airport Express but cannot select the speakers associated with the Airport. iTunes 6.0.1 works on a Mac Mini with the same Express. Tried to re-load the system from the CDs but iTunes 6.0.2 still on
