Itunes 8 will not import songs from audio CD

I have windows Vista and a brand new Dell computer. I installed the latest version of Itunes 8. Itunes recognizes the CD, gets the gracenotes and track names but as soon as I hit the import CD button ITunes freezes and stops responding. Diagnostics show no problem. Windows Media center has no problem "ripping" songs from the CD so there is no permission problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and get the same problem. HELP

depending on personal preference it's best to rip through windows media player. itunes searches the my music folder (where all riped windows media goes)and updates from there anyway. and that way if i tunes crashes for any reason you still have a back up of the songs. you can also update from windows media by clicking "add folder to library" and selecting the folder out of the my music sectoion. your only other bet is to backup any music currently on itunes, uninstall then re-install.

My itunes will not import songs from a cd. When i put the cd in usually itunes recognizes it and starts importing them but now it doesn't do anything. How can i get it to import cds again?!

See if it will import a CD using Windows Media Player.
That will tell us if it is a system problem with the whole PC, or just a problem with itunes.

Had to reinstall OS and Itunes..Will not import songs from library folder

I reinstalled my Windows 7 OS and Installed Itunes 10.6 but when I add my ipodmusic folder to the library it does not import the songs into the library. I tries dragging and dropping a few songs but it deletes them from the folder.
Any ideas?

I think I'm having the same problem. This is what I get when I try to import songs:
The iPod “Ian” is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this I Pod with those from this library?
Yes No
What is this about? My buddy accidentally hit yes, and lost all of the songs on his iPod. I simply want to update my iPod with new material. This new material was obtained while using a different computer than what I originally used when I first got my iPod. Does anyone know how I can get music from a new computer on my iPod

ITunes will not Import Songs

So, I'm on my cousin's Windows laptop, and he wants me to put the songs back onto his computer from his iPod. However, not being very technical, he did not realize that the songs were still on his Hard Drive.
So I found the songs on the HDD, and then in iTunes 7 I went to File>Add to Folder to Library, then I told it to add the folder to iTunes. It appeared to be registering (going through all the songs really fast, like sensing em, you know).
Anyways, sure enough, they did not show up in iTunes. So, I went and tried to add one of the subfolders to iTunes. That did not work either.
I am wondering what should I do? Should I add the songs from his iPod back onto another place on his Hard Drive and just try to import those songs? Or do I not have to bother and I'm just missing one little thing to get the current songs into iTunes?
Thanks for the help! I appreciate it!

Well, I just imported the songs from the iPod back onto the computer and added those to the library. For whatever reason, it worked!

ITunes will not load songs from CDs in order especially like Broadway musicals. How do I fix?

I have tried to load music from several of my CD and the songs are not in the same order in ITunes as on the CD. This occurs when there are different artists on the CD such as Reba Duets and
Broadway musicals. Broadway musicals are especially important since the music tells a story. How can I load a CD into ITunes and keep the order of songs the same as the CD? Thank you.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

ITunes does not import songs from CD

When I tried to import mp3 formatted songs into itunes, i get the following message: +An error occurred while trying to import the file "Track 1." The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file.+ This has never happened before. How do I fix this?

I just connected a new external cd/dvd drive and am having the same problem. Is your player working now, and if so what did you do to resolve the problem?
Thanks!

ITunes will not import mp4-files.

For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

Are you sure the error message/prompt isn't referring to the amount of disk space available on your PC's internal hard drive? If you head to Start -> My Computer. How much space is free on your C: drive?
Maybe it would help if you could post a small screen shot of the error.

Lightroom 4.1 will not import video from the Olympus OM-D EM-5

Lightroom 4.1 will not import video from the Olympus OM-D EM-5. It sees the files in the import dialog, but it fails during import.

Here's a post concerning 5D MKIII file corruption, which may also be due to a camera malfucntion. Yes, there could be something wrong with your camera.

SUGGESTION:
Install the Canon EOS Utility that came with your camera. Also check for an updated version of the EOS Utility after the install. You need to install from the CD first before you can install any updates.

If the EOS Utility can download the CR2 files to your hard drive, then your camera is not defective.

Itunes v12.1 itunes will not sync photos from photoshop 12

Since I downloaded itunes v12.1, itunes will not sync photos from Photoshop 12 to my iphone 5, 6+ and older Apple TV (with hard Drive). Prior to the itunes software update, all was well. itunes indicates "0" photos available from Photoshop when there are over 7,000 photos on my desktop. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling - no success. Perhaps itunes v13 may fix the problem, meanwhile , any suggestions.

I link to it in th epost above yours.

Scroll down to;
Then click Mac, or whatever one is applicible to you.
Be warned though. After synced, successfully, with iTunes 11.1, i ended up with over 10GB's of 'Other' data on my iphone. I had to do a factory reset (From iTunes/iPhone/Summary). It's been a pain in the ***, but it all seems fine now. But it has taken me hours. An di now have a headache.
Also, a factory reset will remove ALL your data, and i mean EVERYTHING! You've spend the rest of the day putting everything back the way you like it, and setting up all your setting again.
Pain in the ***.

ITunes will not import last song of any CD

Hi, hoping someone can help me out with this problem. I've been in the long process of importing all of my CD's on to my new iPod and was having no prblems until recently. From importing CD's perfectly, iTunes now stops from importing the very last song of every CD that I put in. It works right up until the last second of the last song then freezes, forcing me to ctrl/alt/del iTunes. All of the other songs go into the library. And, as an added bonus, iTunes does't play any songs on my computer - not as in I can't hear them, but as in the timer remains at 0.00 when I press play.
Can this problem be fixed at all? Any help would be very gratefully appreciated!

also be worth downloading and saving a standalone QT 7 installer to your hard drive, and then running an installation from your hard drive (rather than "online"). experimental suggestion, though. i've see this work for

ITunes will not import all songs!

On every CD that I've tried to import songs from, iTunes won't import every song. It just freezes up. I know that it isn't the CD drive because all of the songs were ripped into Windows Media Player. I have even tried to import just one song, but still the same problem. Some songs will be in the Library before the freeze, but will disappear after it. On a few CDs, only half of the tracks were imported. Please help me!

First look at the CD and see if its protected.
Secondly goto the PC makers site (If the CD Burner came witht he PC when you bought it) and look for updates for your model, like Firmware updates for the CD ROM and BIOs/chipset updates for the system.

ITunes will not play songs

iTunes will not play any songs from my library. When I click on the song to play the title appears in the box as if it is going to play but the the bar does not move and then the title disappears and a bunch of lines appear.
When I play a video, movie or TV program the video plays fine, but no audio comes out.
Audio and video work fine in any other application and all the system sounds work fine. I can also play audio and video fine using Windows Media Player.
I have shut-down and restarted several times and even let the computer stay shut-down overnight, but to no avail. I have upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and QuickTime. I have also made sure I have the most current version of all audio and video drivers for my laptop. I have also update Vista to Service Pack 1. I also noticed that MS Silverlight also loaded, so not sure if this could be causing my problems.
Any help that anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Finally was able to fix the problem. Here is what I had to do:
1. Uninstall MS Silverlight
2. Install all new Audio and Video drivers (even though they were already the newest versions I had to re-install them).
3. Installed newest MS Windows Vista upgrade.
4. Restarted computer
5. Made sure all my audio settings were set to use the proper speakers.
Now everything is working fine.
