Itunes doesn't play cds right

Every time I put in a cd, and play it, the computer starts making a loud noise, and cpu usage goes really high. Then, it plays the music really slowly, then freezes up. I have deleted alot of stuff on my hard drives, and nothing works. HELP ME!!!!

Ok, update. I was going to painstakingly covert my m4a files to mp3s and during the process of doing the first cd I discovered that while playing the first converted song, now an mp3, GoFlex Access would play the following m4a files. Now this is really weird. So the GoFlex Access app can play the m4a files but only once the player starts streaming an mp3. Selecting any individual m4a I still get the unsupported format message.

  • My iTunes doesn't play cds. The same cd works fine quith quicktime. Why?

    As in the title. I have the latest iTunes on OS X 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro. The disk is regularly mounted and seen by the finder. I can also play it with quicktime. In iTunes when I ckick the arrow to play it nothing happens. If I try to import it I get error -50.
    What can this be? Dosn't seem an hardware issue!

    I tried some music I purchased on iTunes (High Tide > Time Guages and National Lampoon's Lemmings > Highway Toes) in FCPX. Both worked.
    FCPX does not handle MP4 very well, but it will try — your files are probably actually .m4a files. They need converting.  Right click on the audio in the Event Browser and Transcode Media (Optimized).  FCPX should convert the file to WMV format (that's the native audio for FCPX.)
    FCPX (10.1.4) converted the audio automatically when I imported (even without setting the transcode option) both when I dragged the file in from the finder and when I imported via the import dialog...
    If you're still faced with the same problem after optimizing, open the song up in iTunes. Right click on the song in your playlist and select Create AIFF version and try importing that.
    BTW: you are not automatically licensed to use purchased iTunes music as soundtrack audio (not without paying royalties or other obtaining other permissions.) The license you get from an iTunes purchase is for personal use only.

  • ITunes doesn't play wavs made on PC

    I have backed up a number of PC files on a DVD and tried to put them on my iPod shuffle, using iTunes on my MacPro, when I realized that iTunes doesn't play them, so I can't put them on the shuffle. However, those wav files play alright in Quicktime on my Mac. Why not also on iTunes? Is there something that I have to enable, or some sort of conversion that I must do?
    The files seem to load in the playlist, then they show in both the playlist and the Music folder. The files seem to be there, for when I Ctrl+click > Get info, within iTunes, it shows their size, sample rate, etc. It's just that they won't play.
    Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

    Yes, I have played almost endless numbers of WAVs in iTunes. These files have been created with foobar2000, PlexTools Professional, and EAC for the most part.
    My PC is switched off right now so I can't play with NMP WAV files and iTunes, but I still think that if you simply use another program to reconvert the problematic files to WAV format again (a lossless process) with known good settings, the files will likely play in iTunes.
    Also, it may be that NMP has created "floating point" vs. "fixed point" WAVs, and that would cause problems with iTunes.

  • Itunes doesn't play songs, help me please

    hi guys, i'm an italian boy. my itunes doesn't play any songs that i have; when i click on one song the little blue loudspeaker appears but the song doesn't start. this problem began to exist when i downloaded the latest version of itunes (6.0.5, i think) so i have decided to unistall the latest version and to re-install the old 4.0 version, but the problem persist. maybe i've unistalled some of the pc's programs that were necessary to make itunes operative, but i don't remember which. please help me!!! contact me at [email protected], and sorry for my english...:-)

    the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

  • ITunes doesn't play music after sleeping mode.

    iTunes doesn't play music. I try to start any song by remote app in iPhone from sleeping mode of mac mini.
    I can see all my music library, choose any artist and any albom.
    But when I try to start the music nothing is happen.
    The button Play/pause doesn't work and the play-bar is not moving.
    This issue have appeared after upgrade to iTunes 11 and new remote app.
    After reboot iTunes everything is ok, but in a sleep mode I have the same problem.
    Please help!

    okay. i solved the problem. After reading a few other posts on related topics, it appears that using either the Setup Assistant(instead of the Airport Admin program) or if you are using the new version called 'Airport Utility' to use the option to 'Assist Me'. After going through the setup in this way it worked!

  • Itunes doesn't play the video anymore

    Help! ITunes doesn't play the video clips anymore just the sound works.
    I've restarted, quit the other applications but no result.
    What can I do ?
    Thank you for your suggestions.
    ITunes 8.1
    QuickTime 7.6
    Mac OS 10.5.6
    Mac Pro 2x3 GHz
    RAM 8 Go

    If you are playing through remote speakers, iTunes 8.1 will not play the video. Previous versions would play fine using only the computer's speakers, but 8.1 requires the remote airtunes speakers be deselected.

  • Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. if it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck.

    Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

    What does "gets stuck" mean?
    It repeats?
    It stops playing?
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?  Restart.  Reset.  Restore.

  • Can't burn CD - iTunes doesn't recognize CDs

    I used to be able to burn CDs fine with iTunes. For the past month or so, when I try to burn a CD, iTunes doesn't recognize it and asks me repeatedly to insert a new CD. I am now unable to burn any CDs.
    I can play a CD fine and have also tried different CD brands. Dell tells me this is a problem with iTunes but offers no real solution.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks

    Sounds as if you are burning an MP3 CD, correct?
    I right clicked and said to convert to MP3 and it showed it doing it but when I go to Info the song still says it is ACC.
    iTunes will add another copy in MP3 format. You need to add this new MP3 copy to your playlist and delete the AAC file from your playlist.
    can't burn because it is a ACC file
    That would be AAC, not ACC.

  • My burned audio CD/DVD from iTunes doesn't play on a CD/DVD audio player

    If I burn audio CD or DVD from my iTunes, I cannot play this music on an external player. Any recommendations? Thanks

    Hi I just burned an MP3 CD straight from iTunes, and it doesn't play on any MP3 CD player I've tried it on (car MP3 deck, DVD player that plays audio CDs, and MP3s). Audio CDs burned from iTunes work fine though.
    I've read somewhere, that when burning MP3 CDs from iTunes, iTunes burns it with Apples standard format, rather than CD players standard format of ISO 9660. And that is the reason why burned MP3 CDs from iTunes only plays on a Mac.
    A work around I've done was select all the songs from my list duplicate them in another folder, and then reconvert them in MP3s (so that I don't have to search all over the place for each MP3 file). I then burned these MP3s onto a CD-R using toast's MP3 CD format. And it works on all my MP3 CD players. However, in doing this process, I've lost all the tags for each MP3. The only thing that comes up in the display is the name of the song. Artist, Album, etc... don't show up anymore.
    Is there a way of burning an MP3 CD that will play on all MP3 enabled players, while keeping all ID Tags intact, in iTunes?
    Thanks.

  • ITunes doesn't play the next song, it just stops after one track.

    I have iTunes 11.0.1. When I play a song in my playlist, I expect the next song to start as the first one ends, but iTunes stops and doesn't play the next song. I'm missing some sort of setting but what?
    It's not a smart playlist, just a playlist of favorite music I've built up over the years.
    Mountain Lion.

    Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - Command-click will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes doesn't play.... what's up??

    Ok, this is weird but I'm afraid the answer might be both obvious and tragic. All of a sudden, iTunes quit working completely, except that everything about it looks perfectly normal. It's not frozen, I can click on my playlists, I can drag the time bar and everything else, but that it doesn't play music, which is sort of an important part of iTunes. The play button does nothing other than briefly turn blue. It doesn't switch to the pause button and the time doesn't start to run. The space bar and the play tab in the menu do nothing either.
    I've tried installing the latest version of iTunes, I'm now using 6.0.4. The upgrade didin't help. Everything had been fine until all of a sudden yesterday I couldn't get it to work. Now, the only problem I can think of is something sort of badand scary.... the disk utility has been telling me for a year now that my hard drive "has reported a fatal error." But so far everything has been working fine. Is there something about a fatal error that could keep the play button from working? I know fatal errors are serious, but this hasn't been causing any problems.... I've just been holding my breath for a year, and backing up a lot.
    Are there any suggestions anybody can make, other than getting a new iBook, which is a sweet idea but out of the question at the moment?

    Since you installed a new version, it's unlikely the iTunes application is the culprit.
    The only thing I can thinks of at the moment, is deleting the iTunes preference files.
    Drag the next files in ~/users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences to the desktop:
    com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
    com.apple.iTunes.plist
    com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    com.apple.iTunes.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist (x-es are characters and numbers)
    The last file is located in the Byhost folder of the above mentioned path.
    Run iTunes and try again to play a song.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes doesn't play podcasts in random mode

    Hi.
    I'm trying to play my podcasts mixed with the rest of my library in random mode. But it seems not to work.
    iTunes random session doesn't play any podcast, unless you put them on it manually, what makes random session to play those songs forever (until you erase it).
    I tried to create an automatic playlist with all my songs (including podcasts). The playlist is created fine but when I play it in random mode, it jumps the podcasts.
    Any ideas of what can I do? Thanks.

    First of all, thank you for answering so soon.
    I'm using iTunes 6.0.2.23.
    The playlist is a smart playlist and it has to agree with three rules:
    1- Podcast is true
    2- My classification is (zero stars)
    3- My classification is more than (zero stars)
    With that, I create a playlist with all my songs, plus podcasts. And it is well created.
    If I play that playlist NOT in random mode, it plays all the songs, including podcasts.
    But if I play that playlist in random mode, it jumps the podcasts.
    Goodbye.

  • Itunes doesn't play certain songs and just stops working

  • Sound keeps muted, iTunes doesn't play songs

    Sinds a week or two sometimes when I boot my mac my sound doesn't work. My sound keeps muted and I can't turn the volume up because it's unclickable grey.
    Someone told me to do the "cmd + ctrl + n + v"-trick and that sometimes helps me but the problem keeps coming back. Also iTunes doesn't want to play my songs, it keeps stuck on 0:00.
    In my sound-systempreferences everything seems okay.
    My specs are:

  • Song from iTunes doesn't play in full

    Recently downloaded an album from iTunes but track 1 of said album doesn't play in full.  I've downloaded the album as well as the track in question; nothing changed.  Anyone else have this problem?  If so how did you solve it?

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country. If it isn’t free or doesn’t resolve the issue, click here and contact Apple.
