Importing and playing store bought CDs

Just got an I Pod Nano & a great sounding Altec Lansing docking/speaker system. Began syncing songs that I already imported into I Tunes. Of course I also began importing more songs from store bought CDs. Just started having a problem with a majority of my CDs - when I click on import - songs won't import. Status bar never appears and 1st song to import just sticks. Also can't play the CD in I Tunes to listen to it. But........ some of my CDs will still import and play just fine?????????? Have tried changing preferences for the Encoder but nothing seems to work. I have to force quit the App & relaunch it every time. If I try the same CD again I get the same results??????

There have been a bunch of similar problems reported here lately. The only suspicious thing in your diagnostics is the Gear drivers, so the first thing to try is to update your Gear firmware. Then retry with iTunes.
I'm wondering if it might be my CD/DVD RW playing up.
If the CD rips OK in another program, it is probably not a drive problem.

  • Trouble importing and playing video in Lightroom 5

    I mainly use Lightroom for photos, but I do use it to organize my videos. Lightroom 5.3 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.9.2.
    Videos from all of our iPhones import and play perfeclty.
    Video from the Nikon D90 will import sometimes, but will rarely play. You can scroll across the preview icon and see the video, but when you click on to play it, it will only play a few seconds of the video but will continue to play the audio.
    I have converted the .avi files to .m4v in order to play in iTunes and Apple TV.  I've tried importing the .m4v files to Lightroom as well but always get an error: "Connecting to dynamic link server failed."
    Not sure what is going on or what I may be doing wrong.  I've successfully imported the videos from the camera to Aperture. Not sure why I can't get Lightroom to work.
    Thanks for any help.

    Exact same problem as well. When I try to import CDs either in iTunes or Windows Media Player I have problems. iTunes will play a track or two, but usually the imports ring in around 755 minutes and change and are corrupt. Windows Media Player has similar issues.
    What's strange is that my drive works just fine for burning DVDs, installing software from disc, or watching DVD movies, so I'm a little in the dark. Any ideas?

  • Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook- Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture- are they gone?

    I Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook… Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture… are they gone?Becuase they offer to delete what was imported, so to save space i did... Is there anything I can do to restore the picture?

    Do your videos play in QuickTime Playerwhen you reveal one of them in the Finder with "File > Reveal > Original"? Try to open the revealed movie in QuickTime and see if it plays.
    Check the format of the movie. You can see it in the Inspector in QuickTime Player from the "WIndow" menu: Window > Show Inspector.
    iPhoto does not support all movie formats and codecs that QuickTime player can play, and not all frame rates.
    See: Using AVCHD video with iPhoto '11
    If the movie does not play in QuickTime Player either, install QuickTime 7 for more codecs.

  • Unable to drag and drop mp4 movies into itunes but the file will import and play using home sharing

    Strange problem with my brothers MacBook.
    The movie files were converted to mp4 format ready to be played on an iphone and I imported them into my iTunes on an iMac with no problems.
    Files were also saved onto a flash drive which I passed on to my brother.
    My brother was unable to import files by drag and drop and also by "add to library", we even copied and pasted files from the flash drive to the desktop but that also didn't work.
    Using "home sharing the movies imported and played with no problems.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    This appears to be a long-standing bug:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634720
    and the accepted workaround is stated in comment 11.
    Oddly, it's possible to do the reverse, i.e. drag multiple eml files from Explorer to a TB folder.

  • Importing and Playing CDs.

    Hello all,
    I have a problem when I try to import tracks from a CD into my iTunes library.
    Problem:
    The import appears to start properly, then around 30% of the way through track 1 my cd drive goes crazy and iTunes skips to the next track and then through all the rest of the tracks on the cd.
    The songs do end up in the library but they all have a length of 789:53:12 and won't play.
    Similarly when trying to play a CD iTunes plays the first 50ish seconds of track 1 then skips to track 2 and plays around 6 seconds and then skips through them all again.
    This is obviously a very frustrating issue

  • How do i prevent an mp3 downloaded in Firefox from automatically importing and playing in iTunes?

    i download a lot of music from blogs, most of it is indie label or no-label and can't be purchased from the itunes store. anyway, using firefox, when i download a track it saves it to my downloads folder and then itunes automatically imports the file and starts playing it.
    needless to say this is annoying. i'm usually doing other stuff while downloading and i don't want itunes opening on it's own and playing songs while i'm busy doing other things. also, i prefer to move the files into itunes manually.
    i feel like this should be simple, and maybe it is, but i can't figure it out. how do i keep this from happening? anyone?

    Please please please update your software RIGHT NOW.
    Update to Firefox 19.0.2 [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    Update your plugins: https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/
    This is critically important for security and stability reasons.

    GSchouten,
    You have to keep bumping the thread if I don't notice it and I'm not often around on weekends.
    What have we done to debug this? Did we go to support site and download new firmware for the "NEC NR-9100A HH 40X CDRW" and the "nVidia 64MB DDR GeForce4 Ti 4200"? Did we try temporarily removing the other CD drivers to see if there's a conflict?
    On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
    Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
    Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
    Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
    Find the heading Control. Click
    Find the heading Class. Click
    Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
    Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
    Delete the key named LowerFilter.
    Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
    Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
    To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.

  • How to publish AIR app on iTune Store and Play Store?

    Hi Friends,
    My Flash AIR app is almost completed but I don't have idea for publish.
    I heart play store is easy to publish and for iOS is very difficult.
    so please give me reply ASAP.
    thank you

    Contact Apple via their web page for iTunes Marketing. You'll probably want to read their FAQ first.
    They’ve reportedly been swamped with requests, so don’t be surprised if you don’t hear back from them soon or indeed ever. If you don't hear from them, you might want to consider signing up with an indie label or marketing service that already has a relationship. In another post, an Apple employee said that there are 600 already, including PurePlay Music - Apple signed a deal with them back in September, CD Baby and IODA. A new service that seems promising if true is TuneCore. There may be similar services that are specific to Germany.
    Good luck.

  • Itunes doesn´t import and play PCM 5.1 audio files bounced by Logic Pro X

    Hello Evebody!
    I use to make many surround mix in logic pro X, and it bounces a PCM 5.1 surround files (.wav)
    How I need to organize and Play this mix the itunes should be the best software to do it, however
    Itunes don´t reconize this .wav file when I try to drag on its list. The preview by space bar plays the
    surround very well the QuickTime as well but Itunes do not accept this kind of file.
    If someone knows how to help me with this issue please let me know. I read that itunes accept DTS 5.1 formats
    but I want play only the audio file not a movie track.
    Thank´s
    Paulo

    Fool Of God, thanks much! I will give this a try. Man, if it's not one thing it's another! I love Apple, but if they keep breaking things, they're going to help Microsoft!
    **UPDATE** This work-around did work for me as well, and you're right Fool Of God, makes NO sense at all. The M4A file is 83 MB while the MP3 is only 63. So it has to be a glitch with importing MP3's of any size. Seems that 50MB is the limit. Thanks again, you saved my day!

  • Problems importing and playing songs from an external cd/dvd drive

    I am having problems importing songs on my PC from an external usb drive. What I have is an external combo usb firewire drive hooked up to my pc with a usb cable. (usb 2.0) When I launch itunes, it sees the cd I have loaded but when I go to import the songs, itunes just pops past each song in a second like each song was just a second in length. Then I have some corrupt file in my itunes library. Itunes gets the cd names and titles from CDDB correctly but can't play the songs or import them. I use this pc solely for playing audio, it is a Pentium 4 2.6 with 1GB of ram with build in usb 2.0 on the motherboard. There is no other software installed on the system other then virus software. When I use Windows Media Player the cd is read perfectly fine. I even play DVDs off the drive with no problems too. This problem in intermittent, with different cds. These are all commercial cds not burnt ones that someone made for me. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Toonz - I have exactly the same problem when trying to import songs - itunes does recognise the cd drive and names of tracks etc - it just won't play more than one second of each, or import any more. i did run the cd diagnostic check you suggested - results below - don't mean anything to me i'm afraid - any bright ideas?
    this was a christmas present and i haven't managed to put any new music on apart from what was already on our pc, so am v sad and hope you can make it better....

  • Why do photos flicker when imported and played in FCP?

    When I import certain photos (some, but not all), they flicker in FCP in various parts of the image, and they also have a funny flickering when played back on QT. I have scanned without any particular precaution. I was wondering if anyone could help me correct the issue.

    The flickering you see is an artifact of the interlaced nature of video. It is a result of either very thin (often horizontal) elements that exist on one scanline as is common in text/ titling or scanned images with a great deal of detail in high contrast. (Note: It does no good to import images hugely larger than the necessary pixel dimensions of the video sequence. All it does is force FCP to work harder at interpolation.)
    As the alternate fields play, the offending element is essentially being turned on/off creating the impression of a flicker. The basic strategy is to get the element to exist over two scanlines so it is refreshed every time the field plays and/or to reduce the amount of contrast so the difference between ON and OFF is not noticeable.
    Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
    - (in FCP) field order>none
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
    - (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
    - (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
    - (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned or still images.
    A neat Photoshop trick is to use the selection tool to limit area you apply the vertical and/or gaussian blur to only the troublesome part. This way you don't have to indiscriminately soften the entire image.
    Remember: Unless you are viewing your work in the appropriate external NTSC/PAL monitor, you are playing blind. The computer monitor only shows you a proxy image.
    good luck.

  • Really my question is about after effects, which then renders to a quick time movie.  I have imported music into after effects many times, and all of a sudden after import and playing it under ram preview, it stops about 4/5 through the work.

    when I import a song into after effects it only plays 4/5 and then stops.  I'm viewing it in RAM preview.
    the composition time is fine.
    can you help me???

  • Change import and play settings

    I do not want to import every audio CD I place in my PC..  In iTunes, I Changed Preferences, to PLAY, not import; then to SHOW, not import.
    It still imports no matter what.
    I then went to the CD,  changed my "OPEN WITH" to WMP, instead of itunes, as my default; buy itunes still opens/imports CD.
    Prior to this itunes update, all was well.  I could even change to Real Player as my default if I wanted to.  Now,
    seems itunes has taken over and I can not change a thing.
    Windows 7; iTunes Ver 12.0.1.26 

    Hey. It seems you got the import settings switched over to .MP3, so what you need to do now is right click on the songs you want to convert to MP3 and select the "Create MP3 Version" option. This will cause it to create a duplicate version on each song you select that is in MP3 format. (You can choose whether or not you want to delete the original .m4a file.) After you have converted the songs you want to mp3 format, you can just drag the song from within iTunes to a folder on the flash drive and it will copy the song to the new location.
