Importing CDs won't work

I imported a bunch of songs a couple of days ago and now when I put in a CD to import additional songs the window doesn't pop up with the list of songs to import. I cannot figure out what's going on and it's driving me crazy!!!

OK I've tried just about everything. I've downloaded and installed a crap load of software from SONY, tried finding Audio software from the manufacturers, however it gave it to me in a zipped file, which opened was nothing but a mess, so I couldn't figure out how to update that. Other than that, What is an ATA or IDE Bus driver? And how can you tell if they’re on the same IDE? Is it the Bus Address above? (0,0)
I’ve updated the CD/DVD Mashita Drive firmware, Phoenix BIO, the DVgate, the nVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 Graphics controller Driver, and the VAIO Media Software as well. Windows is set to update automatically daily (or whenever new updates are available). and I've even messed around with the registry system, which I'm freaked out about because I dont want my DADS computer screwed up permanently so I made back up copies and emailed myself directions.....I'm going mad, can u tell? SOOOOOOOO, I've tried it over and over and over, and have constantly referred back to the articles and forums, and still can not figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong!!! Here is a copy of my diagnostics, and some drivers do not yet have updates to them, and others dont have the name of manufacturer but just says (standard system devices). So here r my iTunes 7 (PITA!!!!) Diagnostics: please review and tell me what i'm doing wrong please!! Just the first audio CD is being read, anything after that, WILL NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED in iTunes under devices!!! I dont under stand it...

My import wizard won't work

My import wizard won't work, when it goes to the selection, I select to import from internet explorer, hit next and it just sits there and does nothing.

Let's start with your wireless router. I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

IMac G5 iSight freezes on startup - CDs won't work

Hi everyone.
My iMac G5 iSight is freezing up on startup. It was running slowly and erratically, so I restarted it - ever since it has failed to start up.
It gets though the basic hardware check and gets to a point where there is the big apple logo and the circular pulsing thing that suggests it is loading - however it never gets any further.
I tried loading with a CD holding the c key -but that won't work. The CD drive revs up, but it gets stuck at the same location.
I've zapped the PRAM several times (twice each). No effect.
I've disconnected the keyboard and all peripherals.
I've removed the memory module I added 2 years ago.
So, I'm stuck. It doesn't look like complete hardware failure - or it wouldn't get as far is it does.
Is there any other way to force a reset of some kind that will allow me to boot from a CD?
Thanks in Advance.

Check the Repair extension programs and look for your number. Whether you qualify also depends on how old your computer is. The extension cuts off three years after the original purchase date, but they have been known to make exceptions.

Help please! can't import CDs, Itunes stops working and shuts down:(

Hi All, Itunes worked fine up until couple of days ago and now when I insert a CD to import it recognises the CD but when it starts importing, itunes stops working and shuts down immediately. What do I need to do? I read the discussions but couldn't find an answer, most questions were about burning a CD so your help will be highly appreciated...many thanks indeed

Itunes worked fine up until couple of days ago and now when I insert a CD to import it recognises the CD but when it starts importing, itunes stops working and shuts down immediately.
First we need to check your precise version number, elektra. In iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
Do you see *iTunes 10.1.0.54* ? If so, we need to update you to version 10.1.0.56 . It probably wont appear for you in Apple Software Update if you already have a 10.1.0.54 already installed, so you'll need to download the installer from the Apple Website, as per the following document:

MP3 CDs won't work in car stereo

Hello. I've tried multiple burning tests with iTunes, Toast, and the Finder. I'm trying to get an MP3 CD to work in my 2007 Mazda 6 (five CD changer). The manual says it will read MP3 CDs, and I am burning MP3s... not AACs. When the CD is loaded into my car, I only get track 1 without any audio. Time does elapse as if it is playing something, but I don't hear anything. If I try to skip to the next track, it stays on track 1. I can even search through track 1... but still no audio.
Has anyone had any luck making an MP3 CD with Mac software? Would you mind listing the steps you took in order to create one? Thank you!

Here's my hardware and software:
iTunes 7.0.1 (up to date)
Toast 6.1.1 (up to date)
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5
Memorex CD-R 52x blank media
HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B
Here's what I did before my first post:
1 - Burned two songs with iTunes using the MP3 CD option. Maxium Possible speed. Closed and verified the disc.
2 - Burned two songs with the Finder as a data disc. No folders. Maxium Speed Possible.
3 - Burned two songs with Toast as a data disc. Mac & PC option. No folders. Maxium Speed Possible.
4 - Burned two songs with Toast as a data disc. Mac & PC option. No folders. 8x speed.
5 - Burned two songs with Toast as a data disc. Mac & PC option. No folders. 4x speed.
6 - Burned two songs with Toast as a MP3 disc. No folders. Maxium Possible.
7 - Burned two songs with Toast as a MP3 disc. No folders. 8x speed.
8 - Burned two songs with Toast as a MP3 disc. No folders. 4x speed.
I'm out of options on how to test this thing. Before I figure out if MP3 CD players only work with certain burners, cds, etc. I do not have another MP3 CD player to test it on in my house. My car is the only player that reads MP3 CDs. Any more ideas? I really appreciate your help!

The "Import Bookmarks" won't work if there's no backup dates... What to do?

I just swapped-out my desktop PC's, and I have lost ALL of my Firefox Bookmarks :( I have been thru all of the "Import and restore" help guides, but unfortunately any earlier restore dates are just not offered to me... only the 1 date after I did the computer swap. How can I get my old bookmarks back and onto my new PC? I'm using Windows 8.1 Thanks!

Do you still have your old computer running, or do you have the hard drive from your old PC, or do you have a copy of the hard drive, or did you use a data transfer tool to copy old data onto your new computer?

Problem importing music - CDs won't be read

Hello,
I'm re-importing my music onto an external hard drive after my multiple libraries got mixed up (I figured it'd be easier that wading through the 150+ gigs of music), and I have a problem. Music that I've had no trouble importing before is now causing me problems. I insert the CD into my MacBook Pro, and it'll spin up trying to read the CD three times, and then spit the CD back out. It doesn't even show up in iTunes.
Is there something I can do to fix this? I've imported the music, with no problem, before on my iMac G4 to the external drive. I've encountered this problem in the past, but not at this magnitude (I'd say about forty or so of my CDs won't work in the MBP). It's usually happened before on imported CDs, but I've gotten them to work in the past.
I've tried restarting iTunes as well as my computer, but no luck. The CDs are clean, and while not perfect, are clean enough that they should be recognized by the drive (when I put them in my iMac, they show up and work).
In case you're wondering (I don't know if it'll help or not), I'm using a MBP with the new Santa Rosa chipset. The music is going on to a LaCie External HD connected via FW 800. I'm using the latest version of iTunes software, and all the software is up-to-date. The iMac that I don't use, but the CDs work in, is a iMac G4 800 MHz.
My thanks in advance. This is really, really frustrating since I just purchased this MacBook Pro. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
-Kyle

I'm having a similar problem on my iMac G4. Some CDs will import fine, others just spin and won't read. I tested them on another Mac (in this case a G4 Aluminum and the CDs would read).
Don't know what to do here. If it were just one or two discs I would come up with a work around, but in this case, I have discs that would not import (1/2 of what I tried to import last night).
Have looked at my iTunes settings and don't see anything. Since the drive works for some CDs, I know it works. Appreciate any insight you can offer.
Thanks.

Import using develop presets won't work!

Hi all,
I just upgraded from LR2 to LR3. A lot to hate in this new version. But I suppose one needs to adjust and no doubt I will, but there is one thing that is about to drive me up the wall. Something I haven't been able to fix, so here I am, looking for a bit of help.
Here's the problem:
Because I don't like Lightroom's Sharpening & Noise Reduction settings, I used a preset in LR2 that I applied automatically when importing my images into LR. Now, with Lightroom 3 this just won't work properly and I get exclamation marks, indicating those images are not in the 2010 develop environment. I realised I was using my old presets, created in LR2, so that made sense. So I first deleted all my old presets and to make sure, I also deleted my metadata preset that I also apply on import. I couldn't find a way to delete those presets from within Lightroom by the way. So I just went to the library and trashed them manually...
Next:
I open LR3. Now I have no user presets anymore, of any kind. I then import the first image of today's shoot. In the develop module I make sure that I'm working in the 2010 process environment. I set Sharpening and Noise Reduction to what I want them to be and make them a preset. Then I made another preset for my metadata. But after importing the rest of today's shoot with the presets I have just created, it will not accept the 2010 settings and I get the exclamation mark with every image. I have checked that the culprit is not the metadata file. If I use only that to import an image and leave the Develop Settings on None, all is well, and the image is regarded as being in the 2010 process state. If I then *manually* apply my earlier created Noise Reduction/Sharpening preset, it accepts it and all is well. But as soon as I try to apply that same preset again when importing my images, then, when I go to the develop module, the image is suddenly in the 2003 environment again and I get the exclamation marks. I have tried everything I can think of but I cannot escape it any longer: I have been defeated by Lightroom 3. What on earth am I doing wrong here? Anybody?

Yes, I get the same thing with the sliders being greyed out. Funny thing is that the sliders *are* set exactly as in my preset and when I click 'yes update' to 2010 standards, the settings don't change but only the sliders become accessible. The thing is that I really don't want to be doing that with every import, even if you can do the whole batch at once. What I don't understand is that when I import with the preset turned off and apply it in Lightroom's Develop Module, it accepts it without a problem but that when I use the same preset on import, it won't work properly.
Now what the poster in the other thread said was:
"When I saved a new preset and selected to also save the process version, a line in the preset was created: ProcessVersion = "5.7". When I cut and paste that into all my other presets then the sliders were all active when I used them."
I have no idea what he is talking about or how one would do that. When I create a preset I simply click the + sign and in the pop up window select what I want, give it a name and that's it.
Edit: Sorry, I apparently overlooked the Process Version box in the preset panel! Must have been a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Problem solved. Thanks.

I attempted to upgrade to V 11.0.1
which ended with an error message and a code 2330.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Need advice on importing for quality since Lame won't work on itunes 7

I had been using Lame to import CDs. It would record at a variable rate based on the music and made really good sounding recordings to iTunes.
Since I updated iTunes to v.7.3, Lame no longer works and is now available only as source code (let me admit that I have no idea how to compile the code for OS X).
So I'm open for suggestion on what setting to use to import music for best playback quality while taking the least hard drive space.
Thanks.
iMac G5,160GB, 1.5GB,SD,Airport Extreme,BT Mac OS X (10.4.10) also Mac Mini, iBook, iPod 30GB

If you want to download and install LAME, you can find it here. There are some basic instructions for compiling it here.
I have compiled LAME many times on OS X, but now I just use the precompiled version included with Max.

HT1473 It seems like many commercial music CDs won't import into iTunes (copy protection?), so you can only play them from the disc, not your other devices. Am I missing something?

More and more commercial music CDs won't seem to import into iTunes - they just spin, falter, and spit out. I would think I had a setting wrong except older CDs load with no problem. I'm guessing there's copy protection on the newer ones, which seems unfair if you want to, say, buy a CD that has bonus material not available via iTunes (and then have to buy the regular material again on iTunes). Is there a way around this? An easy fix so I can keep buying CDs when I want to? I know it's a technology that's on the way out, but it's not gone yet.

Audio CD copy protection is relatively rare. I doubt its use is on the increase as it would be just one more nail in CD's coffin. On the few occasions I've bought CDs that won't rip I've gone straight back to the store for a refund. If the drive is attempting to read at max. speed it might help to force it to read slower (if indeed you have that as an option) and it may help to switch the error correction mode.

How can I copy my music files to my iPAD. The CDs are currently stored in folders on my PC. Note: Synching via iCLOUD won't work because I have VISTA OS and I need at least Windows 7 or 8.

Hi ladextr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To sync your music to your iPad, first put your music in iTunes as described here:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Once that's done, you can sync the music to your iPad by following this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6 when it worked fine on ios5. Anyone have a solution?

I have been importing cr2 raw files to my iPad using ios 5 but importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6. Sees files in camera but when import stops it fails with an exclamation mark in red circle. Anyone have a solution?

Don't know if you care anymore or it applies, but I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
- Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
- Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
- Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
- Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
- Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
- Reinstall all your apps and content
- Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too. It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad. Had to start clean.
It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved. This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.

Newest version of Itunes won't let me import CDs

I recently installed the newest version of Itunes (10.6.1). Now every time I open it, I get the message: "Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you will have to reinstall Itunes." I have to click OK, and then Itunes opens. Also, all the music I have previously imported from CDs is listed under "unknown Album," without artist or track number information. However, I do still have the files in My Music.
Possible related issues: I wanted to install the latest version because Itunes was not recognizing my ipod. I did have some trouble with the install; something about Windows not recognizing this download as safe, even though I got it from apple.com. I proceeded anyway. I have also had trouble with Itunes taking up too much space on my computer, and having to split my library between my C and D drives. In addition, my computer is 6 years old.
I am going to try to install Itunes again; is there anything I can do to make sure it works this time, i.e. recognizes all of my imported music?

This worked for me:
Find your added songs in your playlists (you'll find them there)
Select them
Right click and 'Make version for MP3'
As a little miracle you'll now find the album in your album and number-tab.
The album now contains two versions of each song. Delete one and the album remains.
