ITunes cannot get CD track names for CDs that were not imported with iTunes

I have a number of WAV files and MP3 files that already have album information. I would like to erase that information and have it replaced using the "Get CD Track Names" function, but keep receiving an error message of "iTunes cannot get CD track names for CDs that were not imported with iTunes." Is there some way to strip the previous information and replace it with information that iTunes receives with the "Get CD Track Names" function?

Programs like itunes use characteristics of the CD such as track duration and sequence to identify CDs. Potentially this could be modified in a very small manner (maybe even a millisecond) in converting to a different format so maybe itunes doesn't even want to try getting the information for other formats.
You can certainly replace whatever information you wish by "get info" on a single or multiple selection of files and entering the data by hand.

    You can only transfer music from itunes to your devices and not the other way round.

  • Error Message For Photos that will not import

    I transported photos from an old pc to my imac using a flash memory drive.
    Of the 1000 or so photos, there are 2 that are "stuck" -- they never uploaded successfully.
    Now, whenever I open iPhoto, it says "2 photos were found in the library that were not imported. Do you want to import them"
    - When I say "Yes", they get imporeted as "recovered photos" in a separate album. But the next time I open iPhoto, I still get the same error message.
    - When I say "No", I'm told of a location in my users folder where these files are saved. I go there and delete them, but get the same error message the next time I open the program.
    Help!
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?

    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • HT1473 iTunes message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's iTunes store, What's up with that?

    I just purchased The Very Best Of Eagles CD, Popped it into my drive so excited to own the copy but when I tired to copy it to my Library I get this message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's in the iTunes store, What's up with that?    Is there any way to get track information and artwork without Having to manually inter all the info?  

    iTunes gets track information from Gracenote's database, so iTunes must be able to reach gracenote.com and the CD must have been entered there by some purchaser already (all CD information in Gracenote is provided by we users). If these are common, commercially-distributed CDs, it may be that there is a firewall or privacy filter blocking access to gracenote.com. If these are unusual, independently-released or rare CDs, they just may not be in Gracenote yet. In the case of a custom CD where it's a compilation, Gracenote probably won't be able to identify them (it goes by complete albums, comparing the number and length of the tracks to try and figure out what album it is).
    Hope this helps.

    How do I get CDs that have been imported into my iTunes library to sync/transfer to my iPhone?? All the material that I purchased from iTunes has transferred just fine, but although the CDs will import to iTunes, they will not sync up with my phone. How do I do this??

    In what format did you import the cds?

    Leanne, check the write pernissions on the folder/drive you are attempting to import into on your desktop. The message usually means "cannot be written" - a not so clear message.

  • Why I couldn't buy items in games, even thought I filled all of information in Payment. When I bought "gems" in Clash of Clan, it said that " can not connect with itunes store". Someone help me, please!

    Whenever I buy something in game, it says that " can not connect to itunes store". Why???? I fill all my payment information in app Store, bt I couldnt buy any thing. Why???

    Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/  When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin.  Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here.  In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D

  • Continue to get photos have been found in the iphoto library that were not imported

    were not imported.
    Has anyone run across this one?  No matter what I say...  YES or NO I get the same result and this error message always pops up every time I open IPHOTO.

    Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
    Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

  • Is there any way to get songs that were not purchased on itunes on to my new computer without deleting them?

    My family recently got a new  Gateway windows 7 computer, because our old one crashed. I had to reinstall itunes, and now have absolutely no music on the computer. When I plug my ipod touch into the computer it gives me like two choices it asks if I want to sync just the songs purchased on itunes, or erase everything on my ipod and sync with my itunes library on the computer which I'm pretty sure is nothing. I would rather not have to go through the hassel of getting all the songs not purchased on itunes back onto my ipod because they are basically all from cd's. So is there anyway that I can get all the songs from my ipod back onto my computer? I don't know what to do and am on the verge of tears PLEASE HELP!!!!

    This is a known issue and at this time there is no fix. The workaround is to disable iTM on the iOS device and sync the mismatched songs via USB/Thunderbolt then re-enable iTM. This way you will be assured of having the "correct" version of the track on your device.

    I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean you have music stored on your iPod Classic that is not also in your iTunes library? If that is the case, then of course those songs won't be matched or uploaded. A song must be in your iTunes library for it to be processed by the iTunes Match service.
