I can't import cds into my itunes library

For some reason when I insert my cd into my computer itunes doesn't do anything. I have imported cds on another computer, so I know all the songs are supposed to pop up and I can choose which ones I want to import, but on my computer I am using now, nothing happens.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

  • How can I increase the speed of importing audio cds into my iTunes library?  On my old Dell PC cds imported at 30-35x, but my new iMac (using the Apple Superdrive) is trudging along at 8-10x.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Not sure you can do anything about this. I get vaiable import speeds - a lot depends on the actual disc. The Read Write spec is 24X but I rarely see speeds close to this.

  • Importing Songs Into Your iTunes Library

    Does importing songs into your iTunes Library (from either CDs or via iTunes Store download) slow down your computer? If one has thousands of songs in his/her library, does the overall speed of the computer slow down, including when running applications?

    My library is fairly large, although not as large as others have claimed, but my 10,000+ tracks have not made any sort of noticeable slowdown on my computer that I can detect.
    I think where you get a lot of slow downs with large library is if you have a large number of Smart Playlists with live updating so that when you play stuff or change ratings or whatever in your library, the computer has to do a lot of rule comparisons for several SPLs against a large number of tracks, so you can get slow downs between songs or when you change stuff.
    But if you don't get overly carried away with the SPLs, you should be fine.

    I have downloaded cds into my itunes library and want to load them ont my ipod touch.  it is only transferring music that i have purchased.  I did not have this problem with my iphone or my old ipod touch.  How come?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Did you use the iTunes import feature?

  • I was loading some CDs into my iTunes library when the disk drive refused to "suck in" the next CD.  Does anyone have a suggest on how I might proceed?

    I was loading some CDs into my iTunes library when the disk drive refused to "suck in" the next CD.  Does anyone have a suggest on how I might proceed?

    Yes, that is a Catch 22.  If you have another Mac you can connect your Mac to it in the Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, and use Disk Utility on the second Mac to try to run the Hardware Test from there.  Not sure if it's possible to a connected Mac though.
    You can try this several times in the Terminal app and then see if a disk can be fully inserted:
    Enter the following command followed by the Enter or Return key:
    drutil eject
    Do it several times and then try another disk.  (A long shot).

  • Can I burn hd home movies to dvd in itunes after importing them into my itunes library

    Can I burn to dvd, HD home movies from a HD camera in itunes after importing them in my itunes library

    I don't have iTunes set to manage my music but if I move an item to the trash that is the file iTunes uses, it will still play in iTunes until I empty the trash.  Of course at that point it is permanently gone so if that was my keeper file then I have messed up.
    One overlying recommendation is to back up your computer before doing the editing.  If you make a mistake you can always go back and try again.

  • TS1721 can i import movies to my Itunes library

    can I import movies to my Itunes library

    Hi, by default you can only add M4V, MP4 and MOV files. Simply drag and drop them into your library. If you have videos in other file formats (like AVI or MKV) you have two solutions: convert them with a tool like HandBrake. That takes a lot of work and time. Or you use a dedicated tool to import movies in iTunes. I use VideoDrive (www.aroona.net) for this. It will create small references to your videos in iTunes. And it will also add descriptions and covers so they look as nice as officially purchased movies. Keep in mind that if you do not convert the videos, they will not play on iOS devices. VideoDrive (and some others) to support conversions as well. So you always have the choice.
    In my case, I add the videos without conversions so they are nicely categorized in iTunes. And the videos I do want to watch on my iPad, I convert later on. You can do this by selecting a video in iTunes and clicking File -> Create new version. Or use the 'Duplicate Video' feature of VideoDrive. I can imagine that this is overkill if you only have a couple of videos, but if you have a lot, it's great to have them all showing up with artwork in iTunes.

  • I figured out how to snap a still photo of a movie clip, but where then does it go, and how can I import it into my iPhoto library?

    I was working in iMovie and discovered how to take a still photo of a movie clip.  Now I can't find that still photo!  Where did it go, and how can I import it to my iPhoto library?

    Just found out and it is simple.  When you find a frame in your video/movie of which you want a still photo or screen shot, just go to the frame and click on command, shift and the #3 in quick succession.  You will hear a "click" like a camera taking a photo.  The screen shot will then go to your desktop where you can drag it to iPhoto or an e-mail, or anywhere you like.  Also you can rename the screen shot by double clicking on the wording under the screen shot on your desk top. Whew!

  • Moved all content to a Drobo, but can't get it into my iTunes Library

    I've got a lot of music and video content spread out over several drives, including two external 1 TB MyBooks. I purchased a firewire Drobo to help manage this content, and over the past few weeks, I've copied over all of the media files onto the Drobo. I exported my iTunes Library playlist, reset the iTunes Music library location to the Drobo and when I went to import the Library, it started copying over the files.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Davs, 
    When you say "presentation," are you by any chance talking about Power Point?  If so, the music must be in one of the formats that is compatible with Power Point, which includes MP3.
    The files sold in the iTunes Store are in AAC format, which is not compatible with Power Point.  You can convert AAC to MP3 by following this guide:

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

  • Can't import CDs into iTunes

    This is a repeat of a problem that I reported back in Oct, but never got any solution. When I first installed iTunes on this computer I was able to copy a CD into iTunes with no problem. Since that time I haven't been able to copy another CD. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, then installed the latest versions with no change in performance.
    I really would like to change the tunes on my iPod before it wears out.

    Help,
    Im trying to add songs into my Father in laws Itunes but for some reason its not importing?.
    The cd is recognised through the internet but it seems its only importing about 5% if that.
    BACKGROUNF INFO
    The pc is my mother in laws & she has her own library & identity on the PC
    Am i doing something mega stupid here, please help
    Cheers
    gallorg

    first i would run windows update and make sure everything is up to date. make sure you have the latest version of itunes/quicktime, if so go ahead and reinstall itunes again. if it still doesnt work try a different program to importing the music to your computer (like windows media player, make sure its importing the songs as mp3's, you can find that under the options menu) once thats done then got to itunes and select file<add folder to library then search around where WMP imported the songs

  • Can't import CDs into 7.6.2. because of lack of disk space

    I just installed iTunes 7.6.2 this morning. I was able to import one CD. I started to import another. After half the tracks were imported, I got an error message saying that disk I was using was full and that I should delete some files and empty my recycle bin. I store my iTunes on my hard drive and my hard drive isn't close to full. I ripped the remaining tracks using Windows media player figuring that I could just add the files to my iTunes afterwards. When I try to add one of the tracks to iTunes, I got the same error message. I'm not sure why. Is anyone else having this issue?

    I figured it out. I went to preferences then advanced and saw that the location for my iTunes was a flash drive which was full rather than my hard drive.
