Itunes 11.1.2 not importing CD

The system reads my CD drive, but when trying to import to Itunes, it shows a message for error while converting.
Please help!!!!

Well, it seems to have corrected itself.  It is now working. Did several reloads of the same disc, tried others and then after a looong time of ball spinning and noise, it workerd.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 not importing mp3 files but will play the mp3 files

    Hi
    I recently updated my iTunes to v10.6.3 on my mac. However, I cant seem to add new music to my iTunes library. Dropping and dragging doesnt work even though the '+' curser appears and importing music using command + O doesnt work either. There is no indication of the music being analysed or anything.
    However, when I click on an mp3 file it opens and plays in iTunes but will not be added to the library. If I click on the mp3 file again from finder, it will play in iTunes from the last point..
    Does anyone have any ideas of wrong? Its frustrating me because I need to sync music to my iPhone and I cant
    Thanks

    Ye playing the file should automatically add it to iTunes but its not since I updated iTunes.
    The music plays and I can see the the time bar in the window on the top of iTunes but the file is not located in the iTunes library or anywhere in iTunes so I cant right click it.
    At the moment the mp3 file is on my desktop. Normally dropping and dragging it into iTunes adds it into my 'iTunes' folder in the 'Music' folder.. but this is not happening. I've tried manually adding the file into the 'iTunes' folder using the appropriate folder titles etc.. but iTunes will not detect the new mp3's. Wierd!!
    I think I might just have to re-install iTunes

  • Itunes 10.2.2 not importing all files within a directory

    Hello all, here is my very frustrating issue.
    I am running Itunes 10.2.2.14 on a x64bit Windows 7 machine and i am having an issue importing my full library from an external USB harddrive. Originally all the music on this external drive was at one point in time completely imported and functioning in iTunes. The short version of this long story is that I moved my main personal server from windows 7 to ubuntu, after installing VM player and attaching a external HD with my music iTunes will only import 7% of my music!! I have doubled checked permissions and this is not an issue. This is also not a format issue as the mass majority of my music is .mp3.
    I have cleared the music library several times, and even used another PC to import the folder and have found that iTunes appears to be importing the exact same 7% of my music library. The only article i have found that is even close to providing a explaination is page 4 on this discussion here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2566265?start=45&tstart=0
    Although this workaround appears to be for a Mac, is there any way to do this in Windows/Linux?
    I do not have this issue importing into Ubuntu Rythmbox. If this is really an issue of extended attributes where did they come from and why is iTunes rejecting the import with absolutely no message/errors?
    This is a major bug (to me) as i am currently unable to sync the mass majority of my music, much of which was purchased from Apple!?!?!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    UPDATE--> Manually adding folders (drag from explorer and drop on music libray) appears to be functioning as a work around. I have been testing individual folders and so far so good.
    While this may be a workaround i have HUNDREDS of folders! =(

  • Itunes 11.0.1 not importing CDs properly

    I have just updated to itunes 11.0.1 and now find that it won't import cds properly.
    The import window functions as it should and the CD imports onto the hard disk. (I can find the files using Finder).  However, itunes does not show the files.  If I use the search within itunes I can see the album title. However, when I click on it, I don't get to the album.  I just get all the albums on my mac.  If I scroll down to where the album should be in the library (say B for Black Moses) then the music isn't there.  If I click on the file in Finder, it plays in itunes but still doesn't show up in the library. 
    This has only happened with the last update and has happened with two separate cds (I haven't tried to import more).  Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?  I have itunes match running on the computer too. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

    p.s. I know that Apple don't both reading or responding to comments on here, but seriously, your products are becoming a laughing stock.  Apple maps is beyond a joke and iOS6 was total @@@@.  Why can't you test products properly before releasing them? You are after all the biggest company in the world.  There is no way I'm getting an iphone 5 and when my mac is eventually replaced, I doubt it will be with another apple product.
    [End of rant]

    This sounds like it might be a network problem.
    First, quit then relaunch iTunes and see if  that helps.
    Second shut down the computer and pier cycle the Internet router and power up the computer. Let us know how those steps work.

  • ITunes 11.0.2 not importing... keeps locking up...!

    Since upgrading the software, I've had nothing but problems! It seems I may have narrowed down the issue to that everytime iTunes tries to import something, it locks up and stops working. This is pretty much across the board, whether its trying to rip a CD, import an MP3 file, or even download a podcast!
    Any thoughts?
    Solutions?
    Thanks!

    Marydore, this seemed to work for me [assuming you are on a Mac as well]: With iTunes Program closed I changed the name of iTunes folder [where all the music and apps were located] to "itunesbackup". Then I opened iTunes [where it only showed "cloud" stuff in the library, stuff I had purchased and could download again]. I noticed that when I did that, iTunes created a new "iTunes" folder and directory tree [which was different from how the folder was organized before, compared to the how the folders were in "itunesbackup"]. Then I just moved the music from "itunesbackup" into the music folder in the new "iTunes" folder [the one that it autocreated]. Then I went back to iTunes Program and selected "add to library." Then directed it to the new music directory.
    Everything seems to be working now! Sorry if I did a poor job explaining it, Im not the "programmer" type. I never deleted anything, just moved files from one folder to another... Let me know if it works for you [if you try it]

  • Itunes 11.0.2 not importing videos

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently upgraded to the newest version of itunes (11.0.2) and I find that I am unable to import videos. I've tried mp4's and mpeg's and nothing happens. I've checked the entire library (Including home videos) and nothing ever shows up. I need to import the videos so I can watch them on my ipad mini. I have tried converting the movies to every format but itunes will not even try to import them. I've tried dragging and adding the files but to no avail.
    Is there a solution to this problem or do I have to wait for a new itunes?
    Thanks,
    Muscateers

  • Converting from WMP to itunes - some albums are not imported as one

    I am importing my whole music collection. Some albums are imported into itunes and show up as single albums as they are supposed to. Some show up as multiple albums - particularly if they have different artists for different songs. The track numbers are correct. For example, in one "album," the correct song is labeled track 6. In another "album" (same real album - different artist), the correct song is labeled track 2, etc. These all show as single albums (as they should) under WMP. How can I get itunes to believe that all albums with the same name are the same album even if there are different artists on different tracks?
    Thanks

  • ITunes 8.2 refuses to import *.wma files

    I have a grand total of 15 songs in WMA format. I know that when I was using iTunes on Windows, and even likely on Mac before, I had no issues - they were converted into AAC (I got the little message box and all). Now they don't react - I tried adding them to the library, dragging them to iTunes, and opening them via iTunes - with no result whatsoever (not even an error message). They work as they open without problems via Quick Time.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    iTunes for Mac will not import nor play Windows Media Audio files. QuickTime will play them if you have the freeware Flip4Mac codec installed, but that won't work in iTunes. You may be able to convert them with EasyWMA or with QuickTime Pro and the Flip4Mac import codec (not the free version).

  • Why can I not import aif files to garage band?

    Once I have created an aiff file in iTunes, why can I not import those files into Garage Band?  I'd like to be able to edit some of those files.

    I go to garage band and click on create a new project, then browse through the finder and files I want to import are all grayed out -- aiff AND wav files.
    You first need to create a new project  - in the "new Project panel" select a template (Guitar, piano, ...), not "Open an existing file".
    When the project window opens, drag your aiff or wav file onto an empty space in the Timeline, or open the Media Browser from the footer bar in GarageBand and import an aiff song from your iTunes Library.

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says  iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • ITunes 10 Will not Import CDs

    I just discovered that iTunes 10 will not import audio CDs. Once you insert the CD and iTunes launches, the CD disappears from the desktop. It is not there in the finder window nor in the iTunes window. This occured on all three Macs I tried it on and occurred with about four different audio CDs.
    Apple Technical Support people duplicated the problem on their Macs and have referred this to engineering. If you plan on importing audio CDs in the near future I suggest not installing iTunes 10 now.
