Import multiple CDs into i tunes ?

I am new to i tunes and yesterday purchased a (2cd)album from i tunes all ok.
I am trying to import one of my own albums that also has 2 CDs. Can someone give advise as to how i get "all" tracks from the 2 CDs onto the one album.Hope i have explained this ok as at the moment when i put the 2 CDs in one after the other they create 2 albums.
Thanks
Dellboy22

I hope i am explaining this correctly but here goes.
I notice on the screen print that you provided along the top it shows top left as follows, artwork,name,disk,track,artist,album.
Mine shows-name,time,artist.genre.
When i open i-tunes and click on music i get my albums but "TWO" albums of the same, one with tracks 1-12 and the other with tracks 1-17.
I am still confused as to how i get to open "music" and just see the one album but with all the tracks of both CDs on it.
Thanks for your patience.

I can't import certain CDs into I tunes

Hello, I am having trouble importing Cd's into I tunes. I will put the CD in and it will only import the first 5 seconds of the first song and then it will stop and the computer no longer recognizes the CD drive. If I reboot my computer the drive comes back and works just fine. This only happens on certain CDs of mine, but not all of them. Most Cd's I own import just fine. This is not a matter of copyrighted CD's causing me trouble either because most of the Cd's I want to import were made way before anyone ever thought that they could make Cd's at home on their computer. These Cd's also work fine in other CD players (such as my car) but don't in my computer.
I ran the I tunes diagnostics for my CD drive and I came up with two errors which are as follows...
Audio CD reading failed. Error Code: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2.
To play or import music from a CD in this drive, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Get drive speed failed. Error Code: 2020.
I don't understand why I am getting the first code since I am logged on as an administrator. As for the second code I have no idea what that means. The latest version of Itunes is installed and I have looked for driver updates for my CD drive (SONY CD-RW CRX230EE, Rev 2YS3) but I cannot find any on the Sony support web site. Thank you in advance for your help,
Ryan

No, unfortunately I don't think we have the same issue. The CD's that I put into my drive that don't work are professionally made CD's from a major label, not burned CD's. The drive does everything it is supposed to do (such as burn CD's) but for these 5 or 6 certain CD's that I have it gets about 5 seconds into the first song and quits. The drive disappears from My Computer and I have to Reboot the computer. Once I have done that the drive reappears.
I do think that I might just have to break down and try to call Sony directly. I have a sneaking suspicion though that I will get lost in a endless maize of "Press 3 for help with your drive" "were sorry all of our representatives are busy now" "your estimated wait time is 5... hours" and so on and so forth. Thank you for the reply's,

Problem importing particular CDs into I-Tunes

Hello all.... I regularly import CDs into my itunes and usually have no problems. However, when I try to import Biffy Clyro's "Puzzle" CD and Paramore's "Riot" CD it takes a couple of hours for them to import, when it usually takes only 5 mins or so. After they are imported, playback is scratchy and distorted. Does anyone have any ideas of why this is happening? They are not enhanced CDs and I see nothing on their packaging about copy protection. I update itunes whenever I'm asked to and this has been happening for months. Im using Windows 7. Thanks for any help

HT1473 When importing CDs into i-tunes should the artwork be there automatically. If not how do I get artwork to show in i-tunes and on my ipod. I had artwork with a PC but now I have a mac artwork does not appear.

When importing CDs into i-tunes should the artwork be there automatically. If not how do I get artwork to show in i-tunes and on my ipod. I had artwork with a PC but now I have a mac artwork does not appear.

I don't use iTunes's "fetch artwork", so I'm not 100% sure, but unless you are signed in to your iTunes account, artwork is not automatic. Even then, iTunes doesn't always find it.
You can copy-and-paste artwork from the inernet, either Amazon or Google. I use 300x300 pixel images.
For the future, if you have iTunes questions, you might be better off posting them in the iTunes for Mac forum, this is iTunes for Windows. In this situation, it doesn't make any difference, but next time maybe it will.

Please help - cannot import CDs into i-tunes

My other thread seems to have stalled out so I thought I would try again:
I have a Sony Vaio laptop and a HP I Pod.
Have used Itunes with no problems for 9 months and have imported/ripped hundreds of CDs into my library with no issues.
Recently, however, iTunes stopped allowing me to import/rip CDs into my library. When I try, it imports the first 4-5 seconds of the first song and then locks my entire computer up. I have to power down the laptop.
I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes several times.
I had my IT guy look at the laptop and do some preliminary research. He indicated that this is not uncommon and that others have reported having this problem since upgrading to iTunes 6.0.
Based on that, I un-installed 6.0 and went back to the version that came with the iPod. I think it is 4.9. Problem still exists.
Please help. I still have a lot of music I would like to load into iTunes.
Thanks!

First search your lap for any malware or viruses. Then check for any firmware/software updates for your laptop by going to the companys web site.

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

Hi IndigoMontoya,
As a workaroud, how about merge mutiple excel files into one file, then import this excel file to sql table?
To merge excel files, please refer to this script:
$Files = 'd:\merge1.xlsx','d:\merge2.xlsx'
#Launch Excel, and make it do as its told (supress confirmations)
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.Visible = $True
$Excel.DisplayAlerts = $False
#Open up a new workbook
$Dest = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
#Loop through files, opening each, selecting the Used range, and only grabbing the first 6 columns of it. Then find next available row on the destination worksheet and paste the data
ForEach($File in $Files[0..4]){
$Source = $Excel.Workbooks.Open($File,$true,$true)
If(($Dest.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Count -eq 1) -and ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value2))){ #If there is only 1 used cell and it is blank select A1

[void]$Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select()

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?

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.

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.

Import multiple contacts into a group from an email message

I have received an email from which I wish to import the additional contacts into my address book.
I used to be able to drag/drop them into my address book all at once, but can't any more.
I have also tried drag/drop into a Numbers file to try to convert to a csv and then import, but it copied all the addresses into a single field and I couldn't get them to separate.
UGH. How can I import multiple contacts into a group in my address book from an email message?

That is a few too many to do one at a time.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I have always imported my cds (including books) into iTunes using one step called "join cd tracks" which is under the "Advanced" menu. Never a problem. But today I was importing a 10 disc book and on the 7th disc all of a sudden the choice to join cd tracks was greyed out. I have tried it with other discs. No luck. How can I get to this option again. I was not doing anything different so don't know what took away this choice. Can anyone help me?

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

Import multiple records into a PDF document?

I'm not sure I'm using the correct terms, but let me spell out my problem.
I have a PDF document with several text forms named with the same names as columns in an Excel spreadsheet saved into txt format.
The forms are duplicated onto several pages so if there are five records in the spreadsheet, there are five pages in the PDF.
I am able to open the PDF and choose Import Form Data and point to the Excel txt file.
But in the Import Data from Delimited Text File dialog box, I am only able to choose one record at a time.
I was hoping to be able to import multiple records onto multiple pages. This way I could do a bulk printing of the spreadsheet data into the PDF. But doing one record at a time is cumbersome and won't work as we expand the project.
Any clues as to how to do this better?

John,
I don't have the actual client's data as that is proprietary.
I do have two silly little test files that I put together, but I think you've answered my question.
I've already told the client to use Word (gasp) and Excel with a mail merge and then export to PDF or print directly.
Ironically this could have also been done with InDesign.
But as much as I had to recommend Word, it was nice that the client started out by wanting PDF.

Cannot import multiple songs into my library!

I can import a folder and a single song but I can't import multiple songs in iTunes 7!! Version 6 was fine! Also the icon for iTunes is missing!

All PDF files imported to the iTunes library by the user will be treated as "books". You should find your digital booklet in the Books section of your library. Use the Get Info dialog box to change the media kind to music and add in the correct Album, Artist, Album Artist and Genre. The booklet should merge into the album. If not see my tip Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!
To confirm; audiobooks, digital booklets, iPod clickwheel games, iTunes LPs, iTunes extras, ringtones and selected movies are excluded from the repeat download policy that applies to other purchases from the iTunes store. Podcasts and iTunes U content is supplied independently of the store and future availability will depend on the provider. Any content may be removed from the iTunes store at any time without notice and would thus be no longer available for redownloading. You should always maintain your own backup of your iTunes library and its content.

How do I import multiple images into single individual cells?

Hi folks,
I'm new to the Mac (yeah!) and imagine there just has to be a way to import a bunch of images into separate cells in Mac "Numbers" ... am I right?
Essentially what I'd like to do is a file folder with 600 images in it, and import those directly into Mac Numbers with one picture being assigned to it's own cell. So if below were a spreadsheet it would look like this:
Actual Picture - Picture Name - Item Description ... and so on.
I'm trying to work with inventory items, and this is the only way I can think of doing it. Suggestions!?!?
Here is a link to creating a macro in Excel to do a similar thing:

Thanks for your help.

D,
I guess you're taking another shot at getting a response. You risk getting parallel discussions going with the same content.
What you are contemplating seems logical enough, but I think you will find that it is impractical in Numbers. Given the size of photograph files these days, you will choke Numbers in short order. You will have to be careful that you embed only photos large enough to be of use/viewable, and keep your full-sized copies elsewhere. You might find that an Apple Script can do the import for you, but otherwise it's drag and drop from the Media Browser.
