I am trying to transfer music files from one PC to another using homeshare and although I can view the music as a shared folder I cannot initiate the "import" process. I have iTunes 11.0.1.12 on both computers so the help screenshots do not help as such

Then stop trying to use HomeShare and use one of the other options listed in the document from which your question was posted.

I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today. Why and how can I fix this?

I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today. I have over 14,000 songs. Almost ALL of them have exclamation points next to them and when I try to play them, a window saying error type 9044 appears and tells me the files cannot be located.
Why and how can I fix this?

Do you keep your files on an external drive? If so, it helps to know this in advance.

Cannot Play or Import CD's...I'm so fed up, please help

Here's my dilemma. I cannot get iTunes to play or import CD's via an external drive (my internal laptop drive is broken). This is the second drive that I have purchased (prior one was a memorex, this one is a Sony Dual layer DVD-RW). When I insert the CD, the metadata regarding the album name and track names appear. But when I try to play the song it will just skip through it like the song was 0 seconds long and it will import the song (all the metadata) but there will be no song and it will take up no memory space. What the heck am I doing wrong?
Please note that when I play the cd via windows media player or nero suite it works like a charm. I'm so fed up with this now that I have wasted money on two external drives and sitll no dice. Please help.

To me, it sounds like the drive is simply having problems reading the disc - that is, it can load the table information, but eventually lose the audio stream (in whatever application you are streaming into... iTunes, Media pLayer, etc...).
Try another audio disc that does not have scratches. Try the discs that don't work in another computer.
Some drives read CDs better than others.

CANNOT PLAY OR IMPORT CD'S - HP Touchsmart IQ504 -

I'm trying to import cd's into itunes. When I insert the cd, it will load the cd title and tracks, but won't play OR import them. The sympotoms change a little as well. I was able to hear audio from a cd through my pc for a few seconds before it froze. This only happened once. Normally it just sits on the 1st track "loading". If left for an hour or so, it will respond with "Errror occurred while converting the file ' Example 1 ' The required disck cannot be found"
I thought it was Itunes and I uninsatlled and reinstalled it several times but I am also unable to hear the cd/dvd when played through " My Computer" and going to the drive. It loads tiltle and tracks, but doesn't play.
I've tried multiple cd's. And several "Real player"s or Quicktime etc. The audio works fine as far as websites goes. Youtube etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated

I cannot play or import a cd

How come I can no longer play or import cds to itunes?

You mention "popping & cracking" in your topic but omit same in your post.
If that is what you are hearing, then I suggest that you contact Apple ASAP. Hopefully, you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare.
If not, regarding "cost" in the USofA, that all depends on the number of part(s) needed & then you have to take into consideration the state, city, federal, & county taxes. And, my personal favorite, labor charges.

Cannot play after importing library

Some time ago I changed my Apple id from X to Y. Then:
1. Backed up all of iTunes library to an external hard-drive from MacBook Pro using rsync.
2. Imported all of iTunes library into Windows iTunes from the hard-drive using File->Add Folder to Library.
3. Double-clicked purchased track and was prompted for my Apple id and password. Put in Y and the password.
4. Got dialog saying the machine was now authorized to play the track.
Repeated step 3. Got step 4.
Steps 3 and 4 repeat infinitely now.
These tracks will not sync to my iPod.
Anyone know how make iTunes friggin work properly here?
Thanks,
/r:b:

"Still"? It wasn't playing before?
What did you do to make it stop playing?
Where is the disconnect in these instructions that state your music should be easily transferred when in fact it is not at all?
Exactly which instruction are you referring to?
Music still won't play after importing
The link above does not mention anything about importing. What did you import?

IPhone cannot play music on computer when docked with iTunes

Hey all,
This is really troubling. I cannot play music on my iPhone through my computer in Windows via my iTunes.
My home iTunes computer is MacOSX on the same computer. All of my work programs are in Windows Bootcamp. So in Windows mode, the songs appear to be gray, and cannot be clicked on (in iTunes and only on the iPhone). They are certainly locked. If I click on 'Manage Music Manually', a popup shows up asking me if I want to erase the iPhone and sync with the Windows itunes, which would be grim as all my music, videos, and everything is in MacOSX.
I have been to the MacStore about this and they couldnt figure this out either. They think it might be a faulty phone.
Has anyone heard of this and might know of a fix?
Bill

The iPhone won't play music through a computer's iTunes.
You can use this cord http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN778LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyMQ to connect the headset jack to the computer's audio-in port.

Cannot play iPhone imported Movies in iPhoto 08

Hi there
I dont usually use iPhoto to manage my pictures. However, when doing an iPhoto import of my iPhone pics (is there another way to get the pics off my iPhone by the way) - the pictures appear fine in iPhoto but the videos do not play for some reason. If I do a right click -> Show file -> Open, it fires up Quicktime and plays the video fine. Surely, it should play within iPhoto natively without having to show the file in finder right? If so can anyone help me figure out whats going wrong please?
MacBook Pro (Early 2008)
iPhoto 08 version 7.1.5
OSX Lion 10.7
Quicktime 10.1
Many thanks

Cannot Play or Import Sprinsteen DualDisc

I just bought the Springsteen Seeger Sessions Sony DualDisc CD/DVD. The DVD playback is excellent, but the CD Audio is garbled/fragmented on each tune. Even when I find a way to Import the CD Audio, it is the same. I tried converting to MP3 format (from original AIFF) during Import, but the Import failed. The CD side played well on my 1998 Windows laptop via RealPlayer 10. I want to put the tunes on my iPod. Is there a way to do what I am trying to do? Thanks for any advice.
Kevin

Kevin--
Just to reinforce what NoName said, the audio side of a DualDisc doesn't conform to the CD specifications and some drives have a great deal of difficulty focusing on the surface of the disc. This article has a very detailed explanation of how DualDiscs differ from real CDs, and how those differences can result in degraded performance (or even in the disc becoming stuck in a player). As you've discovered with your old laptop, I've had better luck with a DualDisc on an older CD-only external FireWire burner I have had for a few years.
Finally, it's also possible to buy that release from Europe as a two-disc CD/DVD package. So if you can't get the tracks from your Windows laptop to your Mac, return the DualDisc as defective and order the European package online if you want. However, you may have problems with the DVD from that package, either due to region coding or a different TV standard.

Cannot play or import iPhone 4 videos in Aperture 3.3.2

When trying to import a video I shot on my iPhone 4 with the built-in camera app into Aperture, I just received the message "Unsupported video format". If I try to import the video as a file from the desktop, it does not even show up in the import dialogue.
Similarly, all iPhone 4 videos I have inside Aperture already don't play anymore. I can still see the thumbnail, but trying to open them will just bring up a grey screen - nothing else.
All videos play fine in QuickTime, I have verified they are the usual standard Apple Codec and none of the other threads here helped me.
Would anyone have any ideas?

What is your operating system? Have you upgraded to Mt. Lion after installing Aperture 3.3.2? Then I'd start with reinstalling Aperture, if the trouble started after upgrading the OS.
Otherwise, walk through the measures outlined in the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, unless you alreday have done so. Start with repairing and rebuilding the aperture, Library, followed by removing the preferences, if necessary.
Post back, if it does not help.

Léonie

Re: Cannot play or import on itunes...thinking of reporting this to BBB

Does apple have an optical drive compatability list? I would think that a NEC drive that is oemed by Sony would be pretty commonplace but it doesn't seem to work (along with the memorex drive i have). Just not sure what to do at this point. Its just sad. My nano and itunes is not getting used whatsoever because of this. In the meantime I have bought about a dozen CD's none of which work through itunes.
Interestingly enough I work in equity research in a group that covers this stock...sigh....

To me, it sounds like the drive is simply having problems reading the disc - that is, it can load the table information, but eventually lose the audio stream (in whatever application you are streaming into... iTunes, Media pLayer, etc...).
Try another audio disc that does not have scratches. Try the discs that don't work in another computer.

Can no longer play or import Sound Studio files into iTunes

I recently updated my iTunes and now I cannot import music files that I created in my Sound Studio program (AIFFs, WAVs, MPEGs, whatever). And none of the Sound Studio files I imported into iTunes previously will play. What's up??? Is there a way to "un-update" iTunes and go back to the previous version?

Nevermind, I just did some more searching on the boards and found this topic from someone who had the exact same problem.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1517728
I stopped TruDirect and everything started working again.
Sorry for the unnecessary post.

My iPod touch playlists only show up on iTunes under devices and not on the iTouch itself. On iTunes, I cannot play my songs from the iTouch on iTunes. Any ideas?

Suddenly in the last 10 days, my iPod Touch playlists don't show up on the iPod unless plugged into iTunes and only under the device section of iTunes. When I try to play a song on my iPod a different song from the library comes up and plays. Lastly, when I try to play the songs in the iPod library on iTunes when plugged into the computer, an exclamation mark appears to the left of the song title and will not play. Any ideas?

Put the device in DFU mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034

Cannot play movies or tv series on my iTunes with OS X Yosemite

I have been using my MacBook Pro to watch my movies and television series in iTunes. Lately, I am having a pop-up window saying that my screen is not HDCP compatible. The video displays blurred lines or just a black screen. The audio will work for only five seconds and after that, the movie stops. I am trying to resolve this issue on my own, but I do not know where to go to see if my screen is HDCP compatible. I accidentally checked the "Do Not Ask Me Again" box. I ask for the community to help me out with this problem.
