I can't import cd's any more. You know why?

I use iTunes 10.7 and I never had anay problems. I could import as many cd's as I wanted. But - starting today- my iMac doens't react any more if I want to import a cd.

I tried a DVD and the drive doesn't work any more. You can't buy one and replace it yourself?
Not even with a DVD? 
As for replacing, you would have to ask on the imac forum.  The problem with newer and more compact Apple computers is it is almost impossible or truly impossible to replace components.  In fact the newest ones do nto have an optical drive at all and external is the only option.
I bought a dvd at the iTunes shop and it was no problem uploading en playing the film.
Be careful with terminology, you might use it incorrectly in a situation where we cannot tell the difference.  The iTunes Store does not sell DVDs, it sells movies.  DVDs are plastic discs with data on them.
Sometimes drives go bad slowly.  In your case it seems like some critical component has gone in one go.  You can take it into an Apple Store and get them to have a look at it but it really sounds to me like your drive has gone like a blown lightbulb, according to the information you have provided.

  • Do any of you know why a window appears?

    When I connect the shuffle to the USB and use itunes a window appears it is "ipod E:" and in this is the folder "ipod_controls" this keeps showing up with every song I try to remove and when I try to add a folder of music, itunes songs, to the shuffle. This wouldn't be as annoying if the shuffle played music...it's brand new, yesterday when I tried to use it a message said their was an error of the "volume" and since it was a windows error I ignored it. Now I get the other window and no music plays...does anyone know what I should do?

    When you transfer the songs to the shuffle are you doing this through iTunes? If you're transferring them through Windows Explorer, it won't play the songs
    The window you see is not a big deal and shouldn't affect the operation of the iPod. I think you can make it go away by going to the iPod preferences in iTunes and checking OFF "Enable disk use"

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!

  • I can´t import or place any images in photoshop CS5

    I can´t import or place any images in photoshop CS5. I receive always the note that there is a program error. Could someone help me with this problem?
    Thank you very much.
    Silvia

    Good day!
    What is your OS?
    Can you open the images?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Help, my googlemaps can not use the gps any more after updated the software.

    hello
    i am fresh here
    about a month ago i got a 9630 from bell
    at first the googlemap works well, but a few days ago i updated the software(9630AMEA_PBr4.7.1_rel77_PL4.1.0.40_A4.7.1.40_Bell_Mobility_Inc)
     since then it can't use the gps any more.
    it always say "your current location is temporarily unavailable. gps temporarily unaviliable "
    thank you very much if any buddy can help me

    Go into your OPtions, then advanced options, applications and highlite google maps, menu button, edit permissions.  make sure they are set to "allow".  this will typically solve it.  also go into your GPS settings (under options) and make sure its set to "location On".
    Try these and you should be back up and running.

  • HT1414 I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone.

    I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

    Trial and error.
    I wish I had a better answer for you, but that pretty much encapsulates it. There is some, but not much, good wisdom out there, but it takes a significant amount of experience to be able to recognize it. The software development community if currently afflicted with a case of copy-and-paste-itis. And the prognosis is poor.
    The solution is to be brutal to yourself and others. Focus on what you need and ignore everything else. Remember that other people have their own needs and methods and they might not be applicable to you. Apple, for example, can hire thousands of programmers, set them to coding for six months, pick the best results, and have the end-users spend their own time and monety to test it. If you don't have Apple's resources and power, think twice about adopting Apple's approach. And I am talking from a macro to a micro perspective. Apple's sample and boilerplate code is just junk. Don't assume you can't do better. You can.
    Unfortunately, all this takes time and practice. You can read popular books, but never assume that anyone knows more than you do. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. It takes time to figure that out. Just do your best, ignore the naysayers, and doubt other people even more than you doubt yourself.

  • I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on :( please help

    I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on please help

    you can't use scenes in html5 projects.
    that's also no significant limitation because there's never a situation (afaik) where you need to use scenes.  they are strictly a convenience for designers.
    i don't know any programmers that use scenes.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:
