Importing CD- Some songs fail!!

OK, so, I just bought the new BNL CD, "Barenaked Ladies Are Me" and I really want to import it into iTunes so I can put it on my iPod. I put the CD in my drive and clicked "Import" and it imported the first two songs perfectly fine, but it got to "Sound Of Your Voice" and "Easy" (the third and fourth songs on the CD) and it just totally messed them up! It somehow reduced each of them to just 16 seconds in length! I tried ejecting the CD and re-importing just those two songs, but I got the same result. Why is it doing this and how can I make it stop!?

Could be copy protection on disk. Or, defective disk even though it is new the disc could be "bad". I have found that newer discs have more issues with importing.

  • Why do some songs fail to copy to iPod?

    MacBook Pro OS 10.7.3, iPod Touch OS 5.1, iTunes 10.6.1:
    Sometimes, when I copy a songlist from my computer to my iPod, certain song files will not complete the transfer. These are average sized files I've been playing and transferring among devices previously, either AAC files or MP3 files. Nothing fancy. Any ideas?

    Have you look for this installed app on other pages of apps by swiping to the left and right to access the other pages of apps?  Also look for the app in folders of apps as well.
    Have you doing a Spotlight search for it? To do this, swipe to the high from the main Home Screen and type in the name of the app.

  • I can import some songs from another computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Message says "...check connection to network..." Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

    Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's  computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id.  Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."  The network appears to be fine .  I can import other songs from his library.  The same songs cause me a problem each time I try.  My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well.  "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot.  My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7.  I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Please post back and let me know how that goes.
    Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

  • Shuffle 2G not allowing some songs to be imported

    I just got my iPod Shuffle 2G this evening and while I was selecting songs to be on my shuffle I discovered that some songs were not importing. I drag a song to the shuffle in iTunes and it will not allow me to drop it. What is the issue? I've looked at some of the information of the songs not importing and some of them have lower bit rates such as 95, 127, and 191. What gives?
    Shuffle 2G   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    In doing some more investigating I've discovered MANY songs that simply will not import to the shuffle. Most of them have odd bit rates. I would be incredibly surprised if this has not been discussed before.
    Does the 2G Shuffle not allow songs with "unusual" bit rates to be imported? I made a playlist that is significantly smaller than what the Shuffle can hold. There are 183 songs in the playlist and only 158 songs are on the Shuffle.
    What would cause this? I converted some of the songs to AAC and then they imported correctly. Is this something I'm required to do on all my songs I want on my shuffle but will not import?

  • When updating genius some songs from imported cds are not tagged to genius suggestion lists.

    When updating genius some songs from imported cds are not tagged to genius suggestion lists.

    All is fine now! Once genius has received your track information and has chance to digest it a fully functional, all encompassing set of genius mixes becomes, magically available. Love it!

  • Need help- some songs will import as tracks  some wont

    Im doing a cut and splice project for a dance program for a friend. almost completed, ive imported all her songs and have cut the proper portions of the songs she wants and heave re exported to itunes. Perfect. But there are three tracks i that wont convert in garage band. i dont see anything different about their format. just mp3 files, Im not doing anything different from the other tracks. Help Pleez

    If they are not songs purchased for the iTunes music store (which as Scott said, are copy protexted), then use the Never-Fail™ method to convert them:

  • Import CD at AAC 192 Kbps, burn some songs to new CD = inferior quality

    I recently burned some songs from iTunes to a CD for my wife to listen to in the kitchen.
    When I went in, the audio quality was definitely much poorer than the original CD.
    So, I did some testing.
    Even at 192 Kbps import of the CD song into iTunes, the output sounds much poorer.
    So I re-imported the AIFF file directly from the CD and compared waveforms. They are Very different.
    Are CD burns intentionally crippled by iTunes?

    Well guys, I have to say I think it may be Red Herring time...
    I re-imported a new test track (Joe Farrell -" Outback" - has lots of dynamic range) using Apple Lossless. I then burned a CD -
    Outback AAC 192kbps
    Outback Lossless
    Then I re-imported the CD (both tracks) as Lossless and compared them in QT player (synchronized playing, looped, so I could switch between them during playback).
    I had five files sync'ed up in QT player:
    1) The original AIFF file from the original Joe Farrell CD
    2) The iTunes library version of the 192k original import
    3) The iTunes library version of the Lossless original import
    4) The iTunes-burned CD re-imported version of the 192k original import
    5) The iTunes-burned CD re-imported version of the Lossless original import
    Listening with my Shure e3 in-ear phones, I could not hear any differences between any of them.
    Tomorrow I will compare the waveforms and spectra...
    (BTW- The original disc I imported at 192k and burned still sounds bad, but the problem is probably not iTunes. Could be a bad CD-R, I guess)

  • Transfer songs from iphone to new mac (my hard-drive failed and has been replaced), some songs i have bought on itunes and others were old copies, any ideas?

    hi
    i have recently had my mac hard-drive replaced and consequently have lost all my old stuff - had to download a new itunes for example. i synced everything onto my iphone before it broke luckily. some songs i purchased on itunes, others i downloaded ages ago from CDs. how do i transfer these onto my itunes library again so i can sync?

    iTunes can transfer your purchases or you can download them again.  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For songs ripped from CDs, you need to use a 3rd-party utility.  Here are two that will help you.

  • Some songs in shared library fail to play

    I have my iTunes library on an external USB drive connected to a mac mini. The mini shares its iTunes library (iTunes 7.6) over the airport network, and I could successfully connect to it and play all songs on my macbook pro (also iTunes 7.6).
    I have just added some songs to the mini's library. They were flac format which I converted to Apple lossless using XLD, a procedure which I had used successfully in the past (when the library was connected to the macbook pro). Trying to play these recently added songs, only songs under three minutes long play correctly. The others refuse to start, showing the 'silent loudspeaker' icon. When un-highlighted they show an exclamation mark. Get info on the macbook pro tells me the songs are there, and they play perfectly well from the mini.
    Another macbook pro running iTunes 7.5 also shows the same symptoms.
    Other than the length of the songs, I can't see any difference between the songs that play and the songs that don't. Permissions on the music library on the external drive are me - rw, all - rw, but permissions are set to be ignored on that volume (I am reluctant to change this because the volume also contains a time machine backup, which is a bit touchy about things like that!).
    Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem, please.
    Many thanks.

    The fix for this is to select the track that show this effect in the iTunes library, and go to Advanced - convert selection to Apple lossless. Then replace all the old tracks with the new ones in all your playlists.
    It appears that the Apple lossless files I created recently using XLD have this problem, in conjunction with this version of iTunes/Quicktime. Strange, since lots of files previously created by XLD (possibly an older version?) work fine.
    Meanwhile, the current version of Max creates Apple lossless files which work fine.

  • Apple TV only imports some songs

    I believe the songs Apple Tv imports are the songs I bought from itunes.  The ones I importeed from my cds are not importing.  The songs that I bought from itunes have a cloud symbol next to them.  The songs that do not have the cloud next to them are not importing to Apple Tv.  What do I need to do to get my other songs on Apple Tv?

    Yes this is all referring to the Apple TV. That option would be within the settings app (so that is still the wrong place),you need to go to the main menu. Then you need to go to the icon that says computers, it is right next to the music app.
    Note: Your computer must be on and running iTunes for your library to show up.

  • Only imports seconds a song...how to fix PLEASE!

    This has happened before, but I don't remember how I fixed it...believe it or not!
    anyway, i have a CD(bought from a store, not burned)that will not import or play properly on itunes. I hit the play button and it just keeps going from song to song without playing any of them. It also imports them that way. If I look in my library at the particular song it will show that it recorded 789:57:13. I don't get it and can't figure out how to change this to import the entire song.
    by the way, every song, no matter the original length, comes up with this same time.
    thanks!

    I honestly thank you for your input, and ideas.. however I have some problems with some of your comments (see below). No hurry, I found a program that will rebuild scratched CD's (as best as they can be rebuilt), so I use the good copy to import into Itunes, eliminating the need to use I-tune's broken error correction option.
    interesting. primarily we should be looking for
    componentry issues that could affect both drives
    then.
    Why is it, when several people have the same or similar issues, support people look for problems with all their computers, and not look into the product itself?
    since you've got a home built PC, you go directly to
    the manufacturers of the various components to get
    the latest updates. (although it also makes sense to
    head to Windows Update to check to see if there are
    any hardware updates lurking there ... that's
    actually where i pick up most of the updates to
    belladonna's third-party componentry.)
    All of my components have been updated/upgraded with the exception of the LITEON drive, which, by the way is not normally used to import CD's into I-tunes, but the Sony (which is the newest firmware) is, and this problem happens on BOTH drives.
    so head to the website of your Motherboard's
    manufacturer to check to see if there are any updates
    available for you BIOS or chipset drivers for your
    make and model.
    Done...
    also head to NVidia's website to see if there are any
    video driver updates available for your NVIDIA
    GeForce 6200.
    What on earth would cause you to think that my VIDEO card would cause one itsy bitsy optional function of the APPLE import (CD error correction)product to malfunction? Would the video firmware on an Apple computer cause such a problem?? Maybe I'll not buy one if that's the case.. That's kinda like saying "my tooth hurts, I'd better check the air in my tires on the car"
    BUT.. I did it anyway.
    the following document may be of some assistance:
    Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
    I am intimately familiar with updating/upgrading/PC's, Drivers, Firmware, building PC's, and supporting other PC's for 30 plus years.
    if still no joy with importing with error correction
    on, we'd better doublecheck on firmware for the
    drives too.
    both drives have had the firmware updated, and nope... NO JOY...
    Lite-On does have a firmware available for
    download for your LITE-ON LTR-16102B ...
    unfortunately, there's no indication i can find of
    whether that's a newer firmware revision than the one
    you've already got. so it might be worth checking in
    with Lite-On to see if it's a newer version or not.
    i can't find any links at Sony for your SONY DVD RW
    DW-Q30A (although i could find ones for your
    old Sony model). but it might still be worth
    contacting Sony support to see if there's a newer
    firmware than the Rev YYC1 that you currently have.
    I'm beginning to think that someone doesn't want to even look at the I-tunes product, to possibly see if maybe, JUST MAYBE there may be a problem with it?? OR... even perhaps the documentation (documentation?, documentation?, WHAT documentation???) might not be correct or perhaps incomplete?
    Still NO JOY when trying to use the error correction when importing a badly damaged CD.
    Thanks Again
    OH, and to the other fella that said that "using error correction on a good CD may fail"... holy moley... please explain how the program would FAIL if it finds NO errors... in technical terms, please.

  • Why aren't some songs I've purchased through i-tunes not playing to their entirety and just skipping to the next song in my library?

    Hey guys. I'm hoping someone can please help me with this issue as I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my situation. I just recently purchased an i-Phone 4S and have been solely purchasing songs for it through the i-tunes store. For some reason though, I've been noticing that for multiple songs (this is currently still happening with random songs that I download from the store) that it will not allow me to play the entire song. One song that I download "Let me love you" by Ne-Yo will only play until right around the two-minute mark before it completly cuts off and continues to the next song. I've tried deleting the songs that this occurs with and re-downloading them, but this fails to work. I simply want to be able to listen to my songs in their entirety or there is no point in purchasing the songs through the store. Someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Windows Vista on my Toshiba Satellite M305D-S4840 and have i-tunes 5.1.1 if that helps.

    I am having a similar problem, only all my old songs that I have purchased and some songs from cd's are playing about 2/3 of the way then skipping to next song. I just transferred all of my music back to my computer. The last songs I purchased are playing just fine. This song skipping carries over to my iPod that I restored last night as well. I am glad (but not glad) to know others are having similar issues.
    I hope this can be resolved.
    Updating to iTunes 10.7.0.21 does not fix this problem by the way...tried this earlier.

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

    For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?  All songs are available on iTunes.  I don't get it!  Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match?  I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

    Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
    You aren't comparing like with like.
    The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
    With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
    In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
    I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
    The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

  • HT1414 I just got a new iPhone 4 and I tried to download some songs from my itunes account and it bricked my phone so now my new phone is locked and I can't use it. What can I do to resolve this?

    I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.
