Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library

I am aving trouble importing songs from CDs.  I completed the process as instructed - using the "import this CD" button (I have done this many times successfully).
The import process ran OK.  When the Import process completed, I looked in my music Library and the songs were not there.
I repeated the process - same result.  Nothing in my music library.
What should I do?

When I load the CD, iTunes recognizes it and asks me if I want to Import the CD.
When I click on "Import CD", the song titles are retreived and show up.  The iTunes bar at the top of the screen shows "Importing track 1" or "Importing  the song by title".  Each song is imported, and I can see each song being impotrted via the iTunes bar at the top of the screen.  iTunes shows that the CD has been imported, and the system dings when the import is done.
This is exactly the same as every other time I've imported CDs.  The only difference is that the songs do not show up in the library.
Thanks

  • Basic "why" quest. re: importing songs from CDs

    When I put my CD in the eMac to import songs, the songs from the CD show up on the iTunes screen out of sequence. The song that is first on the original CD/album is now number 7, song 3 from the CD is now number 10, etc.
    Why is this?
    How do I put the songs back in the original order that they were in on the CD?
    Also, how do I manually move songs in my iTunes Library? I know that iTunes will arrange the songs, but is there a way that I can override that?
    Thanks!

    Don't be afraid of the software. Poke around in the prefs and see what different options do. As long as you pay attention to what you are doing so you can put it back like it was you really can't hurt anything. And always remember the Cancel button. As you learn how the software works and why it does what it does you will become more confident and the next thing you know you'll have thousands of posts on this board and will be helping people every day.
    As to rearranging the order of tracks... you can only sort tracks in the main Library by the columns (Name, Artist, Tracks, Album, etc.), not drag them into different orders. But Playlists are a different matter. In both Smart Playlists and static Playlists tracks can be sorted by clicking the column headers. But if you want the tracks in a certain order then click the column to the far left, the one that contains the numbers and you can then drag and drop the tracks into whatever order you want them to be in.

  • Importing songs from cds soooo slow.....agghh ive no patients!!

    when im importing songs from a cd to itunes it is soooooo slow. the time it takes to import the song i could have played it twice! This isnt a major problem as it is still in working order but the speed is rediculous. Does anyone know if there is a setting which i can adjust the speed that songs copy from a cd????? if someone could help it would be great....for my sanity's sake!!!!

    I have an elderly Toshiba running XP Pro-SP 2. With iTunes 6.0x I was able to import CD's at 4X-6X. Considering the CD Drive maxes out at 8X - that was OK. Well, 7.0 imported at .1X that is POINT ONE X. And "upgrade" to 7.0.1 increased the speed to a wopping .8X.
    I tried making a second library. That got me up to 2X. (My library is over 20Gig - so it seemed to fall into the large library problem zone.)
    I went back to 6.0.4 - I am not a happy camper since I couldn't find a "recent" copy of an older version of iTunes. Ended up "rebuilding" my library - lost playlist in the process.
    I am happy to have 6.0.4 back and running. I never connected my iPod to 7.0 -
    It will be a long time before I install a new version of iTunes. There was no reason for me to upgrade. I was just a little bored when iTunes announced "New Version - want to upgrade?" My fault.
    Thanks for listening to my crabbing.

  • HT4527 Cannot import songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library

    When I format my computer, all of the songs in my iTunes are gone. This is normal. But then, how come I cannot import all of my songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library.

    That's normal too. iTunes is designed to transfer purchases only. Ideally you would have backed up your library and personal data before reformatting.

  • Why do imported hyperlinks from Word not show up in Indesign Hyperlinks panel?

    ID CS6 Windows 7
    I am able to copy and paste hyperlinked text from Word into ID and everything works ok-- when exported to PDF the links work fine.
    except now client wants to rename the text of the hyperlink- but there seems to be no way to even see what the URL destination is.
    None of the Word links show up in the Hyperlinks panel.
    I have to find out the URL and delete the original linked text and redo them.

    Um. Are you not talking about proper URLs? I kind of assumed you were :)
    Actually, hyperlinks *should* import just nicely into ID, not only plain URLs but also those with alternative text. But if they do, they'd show in the hyperlink panel ...
    Can you check if they are mentioned in the Hyperlink Destination list in your ID document? That would confirm or disprove they are actually present, at some level.

  • Can't import songs from CDs

    I have had nothing but problems since upgrading from iTunes 4.something to 6.2. I only upgraded so that I could start downloading podcasts - the podcasts work great, but now whenever I try to import a CD, it will take about 20 minutes per song to import, and then afterwards will say each song is 789 minutes long and there's nothing there, if I hit play each song will just scroll through without playing, going from one to the next. I had this problem before when I upgraded, before podcasts - I eventually just uninstalled whatever new version I had and reinstalled 4.whatever it was. I really like the podcasts, though, so I'd like to try and figure out what in the world is wrong with this stupid thing. I had no problems at all with the prior version.
    The only thing I can find on the support site is to uncheck the Use Error Correction When Reading Audio CDs button in the preference menu. I've done that and it did nothing at all.
    Please help! I've got some new CDs I'd really like to actually put on my iPod sometime this decade.

    This issue use to pop up alot over in the "iTUnes For Windows" fourms I don't remeber the fix rightoff but I do remember theres afew different fixes for it depending on your setup, there no "One Fix".
    Goto the PC makers site and download/install all updates they offer for your model. Scan the system for malware that may be affecting iTUnes using your adware/spyware scanner or Ewido http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ Also search the forums by typing in "789" to the right side of this page. You can narrow your seach to the "iTUnes for windows" forums
    If Im thinking right some CD burning programs and antivirus programs cause this too and are fixed by updating those programs. Try posting this issue in the "iTUnes For windows" fourm too so people there will see this and be able to better point out the issue

  • Importing audiobooks from Overdrive not showing up

    I've downloaded OverDrive so that I can download audiobooks from the library.
    I've installed and updated all necessary programs, gone into iTunes and chosen manually managing files under my iPod Nano as suggested, and I've even been able to Add Folder to Library where the audiobook files were converted from WMA...but now I can't find the converted files in iTunes.
    What happened to the audiobook? What am I doing wrong?
    TIA

    I'm not sure what Overdrive is and what some of audiobook files you refer to but what I do is get the books on CD and then just manually drag the files from each disk into folders & playlists I create. You have to do this with the organize and copy options off so the tracks will stay in the correct order. I haven't messed with the digital audio books as yet from the library, they have a due date and I don't like the pressure, I have been very happy with the CDs and I can delete when I'm done. Hope it helps.

  • Just downloaded a song but its not showing up in my library

    My downloaded song isnt even showing that its even in my library. It shows that I payed for it and in the itunes store it says that its purchased. Help.

    Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the track there to be downloaded. If not, and you're in the US, just look under the Quick Links on the main iTunes Store page for the Purchased link. Click that and you should be able to find and re-download the track.
    If it's not there, or you're not in the US, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their contact page and explain the problem to them.
    Regards.

  • Is it possible to import songs from an old apple id into the library on my new computer, but then use my own apple id from then on?

    Okay so I'm about to start college and I just got my own macbook. Up until this point, I have been using my dad's apple ID for all my music and apps and stuff (on my other computers at home) but now that I got my own computer, I have my own apple ID as well, and I'd like to start using that ID from now on.
    So my question is, is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?
    All I want from his ID is that library, because it's the music I have on my ipod and iphone. Once I have all that music on my new computer I want to be able to make purchases with my personal apple ID instead of his. Like I said, all I want is his library.
    I'm not sure how to accomplish any of this... so if anyone could help me out that'd be great! I'm so confused.
    Sorry if this was confusing lol I hope it makes sense

    ....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
    Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
    Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

  • I cannot get my libary of songs from Itunes to show on my husbands library, which is on the same computer. I've exhausted all obvious options. Please help! Ugh!

    We've had Itunes for many many years, and my husband is finally wanting to utilize it. We have one windows based computer with two "users" on it. It is a Vista program... I have tried exporting, importing, changing the location of the libary file, nothing has worked. What, pray tell, am I missing? It seems that this should be very easy, but I have spent numerous hours trying to get this library to be shared, and have come up with nothing. HELP!!

  • I can't get the album info when I'm trying to import songs from a cd. Any Help?

    When I click on advanced-get track names it says Server Error. And when I import anyways and go to library and try to get info again it says can't connect to gracenote database or cddb is not available for some of these items. Which I know is not true because they are not hard to find cd's or whatever. I try with a few other cd's and still nothing same problem. What do I do? Reinstall Itunes or what?

    Hi there,
    I have included a couple of article below that should cover the process for importing the CDs and then syncing those to your iPhone. I would recommend reviewing it thuroughly as a lot has changed in iTunes 11.

  • Mac OSX 10.6.8 can't import songs from cd

    When I try to import a cd, only certain songs show up in my iTunes library. During the import process, it appears as if all songs are importing correctly.

    Does it happen with all your CDs?
    If it is only one particlar CD, error correction may be interfering. Try to disable error correction in the iTunes Preferences and try again to rip the CD.
    To turn on error correction when importing songs from CDs:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    In the General pane, click Import Settings.
    Disable “Use error correction when reading Audio CDs.”
    Insert the CD and import the songs again.
