Cannot import CDs into iTunes, disc is corrupted and unreadable error.

Cannot import CDs into iTunes, keep getting disc is corrupted and unreadable error. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply!
I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

IMAP Deleted Messages AND Unread Messages

I've read quite a few threads about two seemingly persistent problems using Mail and IMAP servers: a) Messages deleted within Mail "reappear" in the client's in-box, and b) messages read (and marked as read -- no blue dot) "reappear" as unread messages (this latter problem occurs for me, even if moved to a folder on my IMAP account). I have to admit that I've gotten lost in the twists and turns of these discussions and I'm reluctant to start trying things that may make matters worse.
I've tried to extract the right things to do here -- and, so far, only have checked that I am indeed saving deleted messages on the server.
May I ask: In summary terms, are there a few standard fixes for making deleted messages go away and read messages stay that way? Thanks!!
PB 12" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm using Mail 2.1 (752/752.2) talking to a Cyrus IMAP server running on the same machine. Messages are kept on the server. I have a GnuPG mail plugin. Ever since the last update of Mail I've had the problem of random "read" messages returning to the "unread" state, and not just in INBOX, but in other folders, all on the server. I've read them, did "Synchronize" and they soon show up as "unread" again. I've read them, quit Mail, restarted Mail, and they are "unread" again. Sounds like what other people are seeing.
So I wrote a program that talks directly to the IMAP server to see what it thinks about the "read" status. Sure enough, messages that have a sitcky "unread" state do not have the IMAP "\Seen" flag set. In other words Mail is not setting this flag for some reason. (I've check this several times, before and after Mail is supposed to mark a message "read," after quiting Mail, etc., and the "\Seen" flag is never set.)
If I use my prober program to manually set the "\Seen" flag on a message, then it stays "read." That message never again pops to the the "unread" state; however, random new messages get stuck in the "unread" state. So far the only way I have been able to mark these sticky messages as "read" is to talk directly to the IMAP server.
I believe this strongly indicates the problem lies in Mail itself and not the IMAP server. I believe there was some regression with this new version of Mail because I've never had the problem before. To conclusively prove Mail is at fault, though, I would have to eavesdrop on the communication between Mail and IMAP.

ITunes failing to sync, and error message 1621

A few days ago, my iTunes, upon noticing my iPod touch plugged in, reported that it had failed to sync do to a "dataclass error". The message said something along the lines of "iTunes was unable to load from dataclass services. try reconnecting." I did just that, unplugging the iPod and plugging it back in. This time, iTunes again failed to sync, saying that it was entirely incapable of interacting with the iPod, suggesting that I restore the thing. Though frustrated, I did that. 2 hours later, the iPod was fully synced from back up, and the problem was seemingly solved.
But now it just happened again, only worse. After telling me to try restoring, and after 5 minutes of iTunes trying to restore the iPod, it finally reported that it was unable to, reporting an "error message 1621, unkown error occured, unable to restore iPod." So, now I can't sync my iPod. Not only is iTunes currently unable to interact with it, it can no longer restore it either.
What's going on? Also, if it helps, this didn't start occuring until after I installed the 2.0 update. I have iTunes v7.7.1.11, and my iPod touch is updated to version 2.02.

i am having the same problem as well. anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?
thanks, ff

Need to authorise a song to play on itunes, I do this and a message saying 3 out of 5 pcs have been authorised, paid 99p for song. Not happy if I cant play it. Please help if you can!

Please Help!

Hi LauraD25,
Its unfortunate that your music is not playing.
If you could please provide some more information so I can help you.
In the title it states you have authorized the comptuer already and it is still not allowing you to play the song.
If you right click the song that will not play - then click Get Info - in the window that appears it will show Account- Take not at what is the account name listed? Is it the same account you just authorized? Is it a friend or family members account?

Have you restored the iphone through itunes?
You say the unread messages aren't there but then they appear?

Email and text messages notifications

I was wondering is there any way to set the iphone so that as soon as you get an email or a text, you are notified immediately. It seems that I am only notified when I update my mail and that's when the phone tells me how many mails I have received. It only happens at that moment. I want to be notified right away as soon as I receive the email or text.

If you have an email account that supports Push access for received messages which doesn't require having the account checked automatically or manually for new messages, you will hear the new mail notification sound if on when a new message or messages pushed out by the incoming mail server are received along with a badge notification on the Mail app indicating the number of new and unread messages.
If the email account does not support Push access for received messages or this is turned off, you can have the account checked for new messages automatically, which is the Fetch setting and the same will apply when new messages have been received.

How to share between iTunes 6.5.3 and iTunes 7.0.2

Hi
After upgrading one G4 to Panther (10.3.9) and iTunes 7.0.2, I tried to load the shared music from a different G4 running 10.2.8 and iTunes 6.5.3 and a message popped up indicating that the shared iTunes was "in-compatible" I get this "in-compatible" message when trying to share in either direction.
What do I do to get iTunes 6.5.3 <--> 7.0.2 to share beween Jaguar and Panther?
Is the only option to fall back to iTunes 6.5.3 on the Panther machine?
Ed

Here's an update.
First, I mis-typed the version no. of iTunes. It's 6.0.1 and 6.0.2, NOT 6.5.3 (that's QuickTime).
Secondly, further testing shows that the in-consistency is between iTunes 6 and iTunes 7 and does NOT involve the OS version no.
Partial-solution: If sharing iTunes between Jaguar and Panther machines, keep the iTunes running on both machines to version 6.x, DON'T upgrade the Panther machine to iTunes 7.
I haven't tested sharing w/machines running Tiger yet, since I haven't upgraded that far.

Change unread message color in Mail

I'm trying to mimic a particularly useful feature in Entourage, the show messages using these colors for read and unread messages. In Entourage you can simply set a preference to show unread messages as one color and read messages as another. Mail doesn't have this capability at all. You can set either the text color or the background color, but you cannot change this color depending on the status of the message (read or unread). The only thing I can do is either set the text or background color of all messages using rules, or set the text on unread messages to bold using preferences.
I found an Applescript that sort of does what I want:
tell application "Mail"
set background color of (messages of inbox whose read status is false) to red--unread
set background color of (messages of inbox whose read status is true) to none--default read
end tell
However, this script will not work if you change "background color" to "text color". It also changes the text color of the read messages in the preview pane to black when it runs the second part and I can't figure out a way to make the text a different color. I have a rule set up to set the color of text to a specific account, but the script overrides the rule.
Any suggestions on how this can be done?

I'm sorry you find my responses to be rude. I simply stated that you are not answering my question. I also said that I appreciate your attempts.
I'm not trying to argue with you, but you come across as if you didn't even take the time to read my original post. Your replies all mention things I already covered in that post, such as the Mail option to display unread messages in bold, or using an Applescript or even trying another program.
I was hoping that someone might be able to either tweak the Applescript I submitted or provide another option I hadn't considered, rather than simply suggest trying things I already said I've tried.
Sorry that this offends you. That was never my intention.

ITunes keeps providing a message that iPod is currupted. I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message that the iPod is currupted.

iTunes keeps giving me the message that my iPod is currupted. I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message. What's weird is that my iPod will connect to another PC and that my PC will connect to my daughter's iTouch. Any ideas? My iPod was working with my PC for years and just started getting this error.

According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
