Itunes doesnt recognize song names??

I imported 5 cds the other day onto my itunes that is on my new computer and every single song came up as Track 01, track 02, etc. Do I need to reset something in itunes so it wont do this next time and so I can re import those cds again??? Please help!!

hi perry!
were those "commercial" CDs? (purchased at a store?)
if so, itunes does an internet query to Gracenote to get the track information. if you're not connected to the internet, those songs will import as "track1" etc.
you won't need to reimport if they are commercial CDs. just make sure you're connected to the internet, select the songs in your library, and go "advanced > get CD track names" and that should pull down the info for you.
if they are commercial CDs, you're connected to the internet, and the Gracenote query still doesn't work for you, try checking through the possibilities in this user tip:

    When did you upgrade to 4.1? 4.1 is no longer signed by Apple. It's no longer possible to (legitimately) install 4.1.

    Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

  • Trying to activate a second iphone and itunes doesnt recognize

    I am trying to activate a second iphone, and itunes doesnt recognize that it is plugged in.  This is also the case with my other iphone and my itouch.  Tried restarting everything and also tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, nothing has worked.  Is there a way to fix this or another way to activate the phone?

    Try activating it on a different computer, and using a different dock connector to USB cable if possible.
    If that doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem. Take it to your Apple Store for testing.

  • How do i get itunes to recognize songs on my computer that came from a purchased CD?

    How do i get iTunes to recognize songs on my computer that came from purchased Cd's?

    You just import them to iTunes, or you import them to iTunes directly from the CD. But, it you had imported them to the computer before you had iTunes, then you go to edit, add file to library, or add folder to library, however you have the music set up.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize songs from other sources?

    how do I get iTunes to recognize songs I transferred from another computer of were downloaded from another source?

    I'm not sure I understand but are you sayng these music files did not import into Itunes? If they are on your comuter and in the format iTunes excepts just drag and drop them into itunes
    These are the current formats
    iTunes 11 can currently read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a)
    If they are FLAC based music you will need to convert them with a 3rd party piece of software to Apple Lossless or mp3
    The windows version also handles  transcoding WMA files to other formats but will not natively play them

    Can your girlfriends computer see your itunes over the network, will hers stream music from yours?
    Can your itunes see the internet and visit the store?
    Check your iTunes prefs to see it it is set to look for appletv's
    If iTunes cant see the internet or your girlfriends itunes it may be a firewall issue
