Importing certain CDs to itunes, and they come with a skip.

Hello,
I just jumped onto the Apple thing, and decided I should import all my (paid for, original) CDs to to itunes, on my macbook pro, so i can listen to them on my iphone, and in my car. All my CDs seem to import with the highest quality besides my Warner Bros produced albums. (at least that the only connection I can find. Namely, Van Halen and Black Sabbath. It seems that Van Halen, all 5 albums I own import with a skipping or ticking noise in the background. Sometimes the song even has a little jump or skip. Black Sabbath is not as bad, their albums come with more of a background distortion type noise. Mind you, these CDs all play perfectly well in my stereo and through my car. I have read some forums on here, and cannot find a resoluton to my issue. I have used different techniques, apple lossless encder, AAC encoder, changed bitrates, used the error cerrecting, disabled the error correction, no solution. Some adjustments acutaually make it worse! I see other people have this issue as well, please help!
Side note, I have a PC I busted out, and downloaded the albums to that itunes to see if it made any difference, and it did not. Thanks!

Have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together

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.

HT1751 Hi I followed the istructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC, can see albums listed in Library, but SYNCH does not put any music on iPod. It took me three weeks to import my CDs into iTunes and i DON'T want to do it again! Can anyone help ?

Hi I followed instructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC. I can see albums listed in the library but SYNCH will not put any music on my new iPod.
It took three weeks to import my CDs on the old PC and I don't want to do it again!
Can anyone help ?

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
Regards.

We have uploaded years of CDs to iTunes and they can not be found!

Everything we had in iTunes is gone! Uploaded CDs and purchased CDs from iTunes is gone! How do we get it back?

I've always wanted to obtain and have perfect resolutioned cover art for my albums. I have been and downloaded albums from the iTunes store, and they come with really great cover art. How can I get cover art as precise and clean as the albums have on ther

My problem mainly concerns cover art.
There have been times when I downloaded albums from the iTunes store to find its cover art it is absolutely beautiful, and is absolutely 100% un stretched. Whereas when I have gotten images for a specific album from Google Images it's terribly pixelated and totally disgusting.
Is there a way for me to obtain cover art for my albums that is has clarity equal to the cover art on the iTunes store albums.
Or will it basically boil down to I can only get that cover art by downloading my albums off the store?

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

Trouble with adding certain songs to iTunes and displaying podcasts on iPod

i just ripped a cd into mp3s onto my computer and i tagged the tracks and everthing but i can't add the tracks to my iTunes for some reason. i tried dragging it into the window and selecting "add file to library" but it doesnt work. i was planning on ripping the cd and trying again, but i was wondering why i cant add those tracks.
also, i recently subscribed to a podcast, which i havent done before. after i had updated my iPod with the podcasts, i went into video > video podcasts but it didnt show anything. my recently added list shows the videos but it doesnt show up in my podcasts or any of my other video areas. isn't it supposed to show up there?

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.

When I import my CDs to ITunes it splits some of them into 2 or 3 separate albums. Is there a way I can combine them into one?

If your CD has tracks with different artists, then you need to identify it as a 'compilation' CD. Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

I have downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they no longer sync with my iPod touch. They play on the computer but won't sync

I downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they wont sync withe my itouch. It used to work but won't anymore.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

I have uploaded cds in itunes but they wont sync iver to i phone. Can you help

I have uploaded cds to itunes but they wont sync over to iphone. Can you help

Hi,
the question is: does it play unter iTunes on your computer? If yes, then you have to convert the video in an iPad compatible format. You can do that within iTunes. Under iTunes click on the left side on "Movies" and find your video. Select it. Then find in the menu bar "Advanced" and the menu point "Create iPad or Apple TV version". Your computer will do the rest. When finished you should have two versions of the video, the original version and the new iPad version. Feel free to delete the original version, if you don't have any other need for it. The iPad version will play fine on your iPad.
If your original video doesn't play under iTunes, you have to convert it to a Quicktime format first. In this case, please give us more details on the format your original video is stored in.

I can't import my cds onto itunes

I'm not sure how to fix your problem, but you may want to post in the iTunes forum that fits your issue, as you may get more help in there.

Did it used to be on that computer ? Your music library will only be where you put it, buying a new computer and installing iTunes on it will not put your library on it.
If you go in Edit > Preferences in your iTunes and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox then your iTunes purchased music might show in the Music part of your library with cloud icons against them for redownloading - if you've moved countries since buying the music or if it's no longer in the store then it won't show for redownloading. And check to see if you've hidden any of your purchases : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
For your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) and what you can't redownload then do you still have your old computer with it on, or do you have a backup of your downloads/library, or is it on your phone ? If on your phone then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Or to copy it from a different computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support.

I copied a bunch of cds onto iTunes now they disappeared

i copied a bunch of cds onto itunes then they disapeared

Greetings;
After downloading your files from the iTunes U site, you have to open the "iPod" application to play them back. You should see an iTunes U icon. Your lectures should be available by selecting that icon.
All the best...

HT201302 when i import my photos to my pc they come in sideways? why

when i import my photos to my pc they come up sideways. why, and how to fix it?

Arron2654: It's a problem with apple's camera and the data it saves about the orientation of the picture as well as the reading of that information by non-Apple/Adobe software. I've just been trying to sort this out for one of my users (who recently updated to IOS 4.2 something, which is when the problem started, and then to IOS 5.1, which didn't solve it) and I've found that - at least if you're using IOS 5 - you edit the photo just a smidge and re-save it, it imports and emails fine. PITA, really, but it does work. (I've got an iPhone 3G still running IOS 4.1.2 and don't have this problem, btw). My go-to method is a very slight cropping of the image. Hope this helps a bit!
