I can't import my cds onto itunes

whenever i import my cds onto itunes.... the songs are all messed up and i'm pretty sure that my cds aren't the problem... the time for the songs are all messed up.... for example... one of the song's time would be 798:4354523948595 and i no that that's not the rite time... and whnever i click on the song to listen to it... it just doesn't play ne thing and it skips it and go on the the next song...

I'm not sure how to fix your problem, but you may want to post in the iTunes forum that fits your issue, as you may get more help in there.

Can't import some cds to itunes

Hi
I am unable to import at least 10% of my cds into iTunes. Get the error message: "The file [track/cd name] could not be converted. You don't have write access for your iTunes media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions select your iTunes Media folder in the Finder, and choose File>GetInfo".
I did this several times and made sure I had permissions to read/write, but still can't import many cds.
Would appreciate your help!
Rob

Just reinstall it. Back up as soon as you can.

I can't import mp4 files onto itunes

i tried several times to import my mp4 files onto itunes but failed everytime. how to overcome this?

1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
3) Select Properties
4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
5) Click Change
6) Select ITunes
7) Select Always for this type checkbox
8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.
I have tried the "device filter" regedit fix, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

JohnAndKel,
That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

Hi,can I burn my own cds onto itunes?

Hi,can I burn my own cds onto itunes? please

You don't "burn" CDs into iTunes.
You can copy, rip or import the music on a CD into your computer, using iTunes. iTunes will then list all the music you have on your computer.
It is possible to create a Playlist in iTunes and burn a copy of the music in that Playlist onto a CD.
So what exactly are you trying to do?

When I import my CDs to ITunes it splits some of them into 2 or 3 separate albums. Is there a way I can combine them into one?

If your CD has tracks with different artists, then you need to identify it as a 'compilation' CD. Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

Import home videos onto ITunes

How can i import my home videos/ DVDs onto Itunes just as you can import your audio CDs onto Itunes?

I had home videos that were sat in my iTunes library no problem but I couldn't get them across to my iPhone, even putting them in their own playlist, ticking all the right tabs in the synch menu etc. After a lot of playing around I found that if you right click on the video, select Get Info, go to Options and then in 'Media Kind', manually change it to Music Video and it will then happily go into the music videos playlist and will synch straight across.
Hope this helps.

Why does it take so long to import a CD onto iTunes?

Whenever I try to import CDs onto iTunes, I literally have to let it import overnight before an album is finished. I thought it might be a hardware problem, so I got an external disk drive for my laptop. It didn't make any difference. Why does iTunes take so long, and is there any way to import/rip CDs faster?

sorrry i dont buy that whole firewall issue. it just doesn't make sense. no disrespect. please I have an issue where I downloaded a cd. Published it and all of the songs except for the one that i had unchecked and another one all synced to Itunes. why did that one song (Al Green "For the Good Times" not be accepted yet it is on the interface of Itunes but by itself and the only way I can play it is if I click on the file on the right that says "untitled playlist". go figure. not to dog out your issue if someone could help me out with this problem it would be helpful. thanks mike.

I can't import any songs into iTunes.

I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

Help! I can't import Ben Harper to itunes

I recently purchased Ben Harper's "Both Sides of the Gun" CD, and am unable to import it, due to the copyright protection. I have been able to import other copyright protected cds in the past just fine, but this one just won't play nice. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jerry
P.S.
I have a pc with windows xp

hi,
....... I guess I can't import it straight to iTunes Match ........
well that is exactly the contrary of what the late Steve Jobs promised in the keynote about iTunes match.
" ...... adding ones own CDs would then take a few seconds than rather 2-4 minutes ....... "
as I own some 1400+ CDs I thought match would be the solution.
and I hoped that there would be different match fees - like it is in the cloud.
I don't want to runt about a deceased persons promises but Apple Inc. should at least try to honor its founders words ....
if that feature will not be implemented rather sooner than later I will cancel match - it was the only reason why I was waiting for it since the very day of its announcement .

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

TA47831 How can I import a playlist to iTunes?

An old article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47831) explained how to export an iTunes playlist to an .m3u file and reimport it. This functionality no longer works with the newer version of iTunes (I'm running iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7). This is presumably why the article has been retired and is no longer supported by Apple.
If I export a playlist, change its name, then reimport the result is an empty playlist. Here is an example of one of the lines from the .m3u file:
#EXTINF:196,My Happiness - Ella Fitzgerald
\\NEF\music\Ella Fitzgerald - 50 Classic Hits (disc 2)\Ella Fitzgerald - My Happiness.mp3
As you can see my file is an mp3 on a remote server ("nef") and works perfectly well in the "Music" section of iTunes.
What I really want to do is to import some playlists that have been generated elsewhere (for example using a script to identify all the US hits of the 1980s with the word "power" somewhere in the lyrics). I figured the easiest way to do that would be to work out what format of playlist iTunes would be able to import and generate one of those, I was somewhat surprised to discover that iTunes can't even import a playlist it has just exported.
How can I import a playlist to iTunes?

Hi Steve,
I was wondering this myself and a quick Google found your post here along with an Apple support article published three weeks ago. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1744?viewlocale=en_US
Hope this helps.
