ITunes import hangs

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and I've slowly been importing my CD collection. Most CDs have imported with no issue... except for 3 out of about 200 (so far at least).
These albums hang during import... always on the last track... and always with a few seconds remaining. The CD drive keeps stopping and then loudly ramping up. I have to force quit iTunes and push the eject button on the keyboard.
No matter how many times I try these tracks will not import. The tracks play fine from the CD.
Anybody have the same issue or know of a fix?

Anybody? I had my Macbook at the Apple store for a different reason and I mentioned it to the Genius Bar guy and he replaced the drive, but it's still doing it on occasion.
I'm guessing it's not a hardware issue... perhaps a setting? Any ideas?

I've tried:
reinstalling iTunes (many times)
creating a new library
reimporting my files in small batches
turning off organize library/copy files into iTunes library
uninstalling Quicktime (and then reinstalling Quicktime)
turning off start-up items
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I chose to restore it to factory defaults, but that never succeeded.
It hangs at the end of the process.

Language is Dutch :-)
Littery it says:
Check of Recovery of iPod.
Already for 40 minutes.
I closed down iTunes.
Now, when I turn on my iPod, there is the icon of iTunes with an usb cable towards it.
When I attach it to my computer and turn on iTunes, the message is there that a iPod was stuck in recovery mode and I should retry it.
And then I get the same story. Unpacking, installing, checking... blocked!

Problem closing iTunes - iTunes.exe hanging.

I have been having a problem restarting iTunes EXCEPT on a reboot or by manually ending the iTunes.exe process. iTunes.exe is hanging.....it is not using any CPU, but memory usage reduces to about 95,000k, and, of course, I have to end the process before I can restart iTunes.
I finally figured out that this problem occurs only when I have been streaming music through Apple Express. In other words, Apple Express is preventing iTunes from closing.

I experimented around and reformated, and began reinstalling programs one by one as a test, starting first with iTunes. It worked just fine. Low and behold, the next program I installed was my antivirus/spyware program. It recreated the problem I had been having for the last year or so. I tried putting exceptions in the application configuration, but that didn't make any difference. Surprisingly, even stopping/disabling the program didn't work either. Completely uninstalling the program did - meaning there were conflicts between the installed components of the Antivirus/spyware program and the iTunes/Airport Express. Now I've got to go find another spyware/antivirus program. But, the question remains, why should a antivirus/spyware program, disabled at that, ie, stopped, cause iTunes to hang after streaming music through Airport Express??? Strange.

Itunes imports cd; but they are all small files, and incomplete. Itunes plays neither the cd nor the imported songs. Anyone else faced this issue?

i've had this happen when the cd is extremely dirty. usually only one or two tracks though, not a whole cd.

Import hangs when "Do not import duplicates" is selected

I am using iPhoto 6 with a Canon XTi camera. I import pictures directly from the camera via a USB connection. I prefer not to erase photos from the camera's CF card until I need space, as one more way to back up pictures, so when I do an import, I want to select "Do not import duplicates" and to check "apply to all duplicates" to avoid importing the same pictures over and over.
Lately, however, If I select these two options when the first duplicate appears,, the import hangs and nothing happens. After a while I cancel the import and start it again, choosing to import all duplicates. This makes the import work.
Any idea why the import would hang when I choose Do not import duplicates?
Thanks.

This feature is not great in v6 of iPhoto. It will perform better if you first move the files to a folder on the desktop and then import. You can use Image Capture to move the files.
As to your specific query: try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

HT1347 I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke. iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode. One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3

I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke. iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode. One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3. iTunes sorts them by month/day/year. How can I fix that?

The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.

Exporting at HIGHEST quality - iTunes IMPORTING preferences?

Does the iTUNES IMPORTING preferences matter? I am exporting UNcompressed so I can give songs to a Master Engineer. What should my itune settings be at?
or should i share another way?
Thank you!

Yes - If you're delivering a mix to a mastering engineer, do not share to iTunes! Export to Disk instead.
Generally, when you deliver something to a mastering engineer, you want it to be as unprocessed as possible. iTunes is a fantastic consumer-oriented playback application. But for sending audio in and out of iTunes on its way to a mastering engineer, it’s Hogwarts - full of mysterious nooks and crannies that could inadvertently transform your audio without you realizing it. Plus, it's completely unnecessary and avoidable.
So to take steps to ensure the highest (and most unadulterated) quality possible, first turn off auto normalize in GB’s advanced preferences, if you haven't already done so.
Then, if you've chosen any presets for your Master Track, remove them (adding these kind of finalizing effects is exactly what the mastering engineer does; the presets in Garageband are a quick and easy alternative, but you have the real thing).
Finally, under the Share Menu, choose Export Song to Disk. And, of course, don't compress.

My iTunes keeps hanging. What do I do?

Whenever i open my Mac and launch itunes, it hangs and wont work. Please what do i do?

The first thing you should look for is old out-dated software that interacts with iTunes. You'll find plug-ins for those apps here:
Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
Just pull them to the desktop and test again.
More info about plug-ins here -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

Lightroom 5.7 import hangs up

I have Lightroom 5.7 running on a PC, 8.1 Windows op system. Lightroom 5 opens and I can get to the library but when I try and import more pictures for a new collection, it hangs up and I get a message: "Adobe Photoshop Lightoom 64 has stopped working. A problem caused teh program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I never hear back (of course) from Windows or Microsoft. Would it help to eliminate all the other collections I have on Lightroom? It seems to be happening more and more that Import hangs up and won't operate. It is longer than just the pause while it looks for sources on my several external drives. Thank you!

Possibility #1: http://members.lightroomqueen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1137/188/how-do-i- change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted
Possibility #2: you need to delete your preview cache, this is a folder whose name end with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the .LRCAT file in the same folder.
