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!

  • 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?!

    please help

    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.

  • ITunes does not import all artists/songs from folder

    I have had several issues with getting itunes to import all the music I have. I have selected the folder that I want itunes to be associated with. But when I go into itunes not all the artists imported. However, if I select add a folder, and then the artist, it imports the artist. I have tried to add the whole folder again, but still does not import all the artist/songs. At first I didn't think that I had imported the CDto the folder, but then when I went into my music folder it was there.
    A couple of times when I have opened iTunes it was like starting over. I lost my playlists. I am not as concerned in getting those back as long as I won't lose all the changes I am now making. We also own two iPod shuffles, don't know if that makes a difference.
    Thanks inadvance for any information!

    I had a similar problem with a Jimmy Buffett album,I sent the iTunes store an e-mail described the problem including the album title and receipt number and within 24 hours they responded and had done a "reset" and problem solved.
    Give it a try

  • 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

  • Sometimes itunes does not play songs

    From time to time my itunes stops playing: When I select
    a song in my library or a song in the itunes store, the song
    is displayed at the top, but itunes does not start playing.
    Additionally, it won't play any other song.
    When I close the itunes software (hitting [x] at the top
    of the window), I cannot restart itunes until I end
    the still living process itunes.exe in the task manager.
    When I restart itunes afterwards, the same songs in the
    library (or in the itunes store) play properly.
    I use itunes 7.2.0.34, but the problem also existed
    with earlier versions (I think they startet with 7.x)
    and still persists.
    I followed the hints in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610,
    no change.
    Does anybody experience similar problems?
    This is really frustrating!
    Thanks,

    Just as an update, someone suggested reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem. I don't know if you loose the songs in your library but I asked the kind person that answered my question.

  • ITunes does not import certain files

    Hi everyone,
    I had to reinstall my WinXP system and therefore also reinstalled iTunes (v9.0.3.15). Now, when I imported my whole MP3 directory, iTunes did not import some albums without displaying any error message. When I realized that some albums are missing, I tried to import them using drag&drop from the Windows Explorer, using the "File-Import file", "File-Import directory" (or whatever these menu items are called in english...), but nothing works! iTunes simply does... NOTHING. No error, no file imported, no action at all.
    The files are fairly typical MP3 files: 192 kbps, 44kHz, ID3v1, ID3v2 both present, no DRM... And the most weird fact is: on my old WinXP system (same machine, but slightly older iTunes version) iTunes did import the files without problems!
    I have no clue why iTunes won't import them. Does anybody else have an idea?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    gehho.

    Hi ed2345,
    thanks a lot for proposing the MP3 Validator! This fixed my problem. For others having a similar problem: I used this software: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html
    However, I must say that I am really annoyed about iTunes and Apple. I mean, what kind of design is it when you say: "We do not accept slightly invalid files, although every other player accepts them. And most important: We do not display an error message to the user, so that he/she has to find the problem him/herself! Ha!" This is really extremely bad user experience, and I always thought Apple was known for their innovative path, especially regarding user experience. Pfff...
    There are sooo many other things that annoy me; I think I will not buy any Apply product anymore. In my eyes, they have even overtaken Microsoft in being the most user-unfriendly company on the market:
    1) You HAVE to use iTunes to copy files on your iPod instead of just using the iPod as a USB drive. What is this for??? It's just to promote their stupid iTunes which again introduces new problems.
    2) iTunes obviously does not accept ID3v1 tags. It just displays all my MP3s which only have v1 tags as "Unknown". Come on, every other MP3 software supports ID3v1, why does not iTunes???
    3) The import process in iTunes is such a hassle. Instead of being able to observe a directory for new files, you have to add every single new album manually. Of course, only after you validated it... Moreover, you cannot add multiple directories at once using the menu options - you have to do it with drag&drop; and it took me some time to try that.
    4) EDIT: Another point just came to my mind: When importing a whole directory, iTunes is stupid enough to add all files once again, instead of just adding the new files. Therefore, you really have to know which album is missing in iTunes because otherwise you will have lots of files twice or three times or hundred times.
    OK, that's enough for now. I am just really pi**ed off because I was playing around with those "invalid" files for about 5 hours. Might also be that it's me who's the stupid one - if so, please tell me. But from a company like Apple, I expect a software which is easily handled even by absolute newbies, and I would not call me a newbie...
    Anyway, have a nice day everyone, and happy validating!
    Thanks again to ed2345! The comments above were not meant for you! It just came out of my fingers... Btw: As you asked my to pick my interpretation... I would pick "INCOMPETENT" - completely!

  • Aperture 3 does not import video from iPhone

  • HT1766 An Apple consultant said I could get rid of itune playlist from my ipad by connecting the cable from my ipad to a computer that does not have songs from itunes in its computer. I was not able to do it. Any suggestions?

    How do you get rid of itunes playlist from my ipad? I was told you can sync it back to a computer that does not have any itunes songs. It did not work.

    I'm sure I don't completely understand the question.
    How to get rid of an iTunes playlist from your iPad? Just delete the items while using iTunes. The next time you sync, they'll be gone from your playlist.

  • ITunes does not accept Song Tags from my HD radio consistently

    When I Tag a song on my Dual Xhd7714 car system.....to my iTunes on my Macbook....if I've Tagged 8 songs....Maybe one will show up on the Tagged playlist on iTunes...I'm using the most current iTunes....and have used both my iPod and iPhone (both with latest software/firmware upgrades)...and the issues occurs...from both devices....Help!!!!!!!!!!!...Bob

    When you double click on the song in iTunes, does the progress bar at the top of the window move at all?
    If not, try re-installing iTunes and QuickTime
    1. Drag iTunes.app and QuickTime Player.app from your Applications folder to the trash
    2. Restart the Mac
    3. Download and install from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, you can try deleting your preference files:
    Quit iTunes and QuickTime player if they are running.
    Navigate to /User/Library/Preferences/
    Drag com.apple.itunes.plist to the trash
    Drag com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist to the trash
    Restart the Mac
    Launch iTunes again

  • 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.

  • Ipad mini does not download songs from itunes cloud

    Trying to download my purchased song content down to a new ipad mini.  Tried to do this in itunes on a sync and also through apple store by hitting icloud content - both all songs and individual songs.  Appears to be downloading but does not show up in my music to play.  I tried re-boot and factory re-set.  No joy.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance

    I have chased several other threads on this topic - I am not alone with this issue.  I have done multiple device re-boots and factory resets. Is this a fatal flaw in the music software?  All other aspects, apps etc are fine.  Songs downloaded on my macbook air, ipod and iphone all OK
    Check out these threads - no solutions for anyone other than someone who took their device to the store

  • Itunes not importing songs from CD correctly

    Using the 'import cd' button - itunes appears to import the music but when i click to play a song - nothing happens! It seems that i only have the song titles. There are no 'rights' or 'CD player' issues as the CD's can be imported quite happily onto someone elses itunes and I can play the CD's using Windows media player - so this definitely seems to be an itunes issue. I am on the latest 7.0 version
    Any suggestions please!??

    Issues were related to autoplay being disabled in Windows. To me, this is an issue that iTunes needs to fix. Autoplay shouldn't be a requirement in order to have cd importing work smoothly.

  • Itunes/Nano will not import songs from windows

    the songs on an ipod touch does not start from the beginning how do you fix this

    In your iTunes Library, check the songs to see if they are set to Remember playback position. If they are, turn that off and Sync the iPod with iTunes for these new changes to take effect.
    Highlight a song, right-click/Get Info/Options>Remember playback position:

  • ITunes does not import my video

    I try to import videos in .mov-format into iTunes. It does not respond at all. These videos are > 9 GB. Could this be a reason?
    Thanks for helping.

    From iPad technical specisfications...
    "Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format"
    If the video output of your Sony doesn't correspond to these formats it will be necessary to convert those files to a format that iOS does support before you can import them into your iPad.
