Itunes kicks me off internet when I insert CD.

I have dial-up internet (there are no affordable options where I live), and every time I insert a music CD, I get kicked off of the internet. I found a post from last year that said iTunes may be trying to connect to the online CD database, but I don't have any problems accessing the CDDB as long as the CD is already in the computer when I log on. I had hoped this problem would be solved with one of the all too frequent iTunes updates I have to go to other people's houses to download, but so far no luck.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem that doesn't involve spending precious lifetime slowly importing CDs?
iMac G5 2.1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   dial up via 56K modem (actual speed more like 2K)

In OS9 there was a file (I can't remember its name) which stored all the tracknames from CDs that had been opened, and it was possible to port this file to a new computer to save it having to look up all your CD tracks again.
Does anyone know where this file lives in OS X?

  • Itunes disconnects dial up internet when a cd is inserted

    Hi All,
    I'm using the new USB modem on an IMAC with 10.4.3. I keep having problems with Itunes disconnecting my dial up internet connection. I connect to the Internet, open Itunes, insert a CD and almost all the time, my internet connection will disconnect. I've tried only inserting the CD, letting Itunes open and then connecting to the internet, but then when I want to put in another CD, the internet will disconnect.
    If I don't put a CD in, then the Internet will stay connected for as long as I want it to.
    Thanks in advance to those who help me.

    Best guess--when you insert the CD iTunes queries the Gracenote CDDB (via your internet connection) in order to show the track names, and for some reason this query is causing your connection to disconnect.
    Unfortunately there is no longer any preference to tell iTunes you don't want it to do this--it's automatic behavior, I think.
    The only solution that occurs to me is to take the time out to import your CDs so you can play them directly from iTunes without inserting the actual CD.

  • Phone kicks me off internet

    i just got my iphone. anytime im on the internet or maps the phone kicks me off after about 2 minutes or so. i dont understand what the problem is. how can i fix this please help

    Go to Settings > Safari and select Clear Cache and Clear History and while you are at it, Clear Cookies.
    Return to Safari. Press and hold the Home key until Safari quits and the iPhone returns to the Home screen.
    Next do a Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. This does not affect and data or settings.

  • Itunes does not start playing when I insert a cd

    iMac won't let me sellect iTunes in the CDs & DVDs preferences section, under the "when you insert a music CD" - open iTunes is grayed out.

    Hello, try this...
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.digihub.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • WRT300N router, kicked off internet when i use phone

    i recently upgraded my router to WRT300N. but when i use my wireless phones it kicks my 2 other computers (and my xbox 360) off the internet (all wireless). didnt happen with the other router, any suggestions?

    Is this a voice over IP phone connected also to the router? what is the frequency that  this phone is running into right now, 2.4Ghz?
    what computer is kicked off, is the wireless or hardwired?

  • How do I change security encryption name on WiFi network so computer will stop kicking me off Internet?

    My Internet provider, Verizon, recently had me update my router to WPA2 encryption.  It was previously WEP.  Now, each time my computer goes to sleep it drops off the Internet and when I click on the Network icon on the top menu bar it asks again which network.  I select it and then a box pops up that says this was previously a WEP network and not a WPA2 - do I want to join.  I click "join" and then get on the Internet, but it is very annoying to keep doing this over and over.  I went into the settings menu for "Network" and tried a number of things to change the network security designation to WPA2 w/o success.  I also tried deleting the current network, restarting my computer and reselecting a network, but that didn't work either.  Verizon walked me through their methods to correct this and it didn't work.  The problem seems to be my computer has not recognized the change.  How can I fix the change to my router?  It seems as though it should be simple, but I can't find it.  I have OSX 10.9.5, Memory 4 GB and Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.  Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    Thank you Eric.  This seems to have solved the problem.  Now the only network that shows is my WiFi with the new encryption name.  I appreciate your  help.

  • Keep getting knocked off internet when on i tunes store ?

    Anybody know how to sort problem with i tunes and the internet? When  go onto the i tunes store and download a film or music I get knocked off the internet. Just purchased two episodes of Homeland to watch tonight but cannot download them. Contacted i tunes previously about it but no joy.

    Reset the router, if that doesn't work then reset the DNS settings your ISP is using. To do that please click DNS Settings Update for instructions. If that doesn't work try another router.

  • If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.

    If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.  I just bought the Airport Express and it's not clear how I should set up my System Preferences for Sharing.  Thx

    Yes. Unfortunately the stereo is too far from the wired ethernet connection   My iMac is connected to the internet using an ethernet cable from the DSL modem (plugged into the wall, not wireless).  The Airport Express is plugged into an outlet 25' away from the iMac and connected to my speakers.  I've turned on the iMac Airport wireless Internet Sharing, hoping to stream iTunes to the Express connected to the stereo.  The iMac Airport picks up several neighborhood networks so I know it's working (and I connected my iPhone wifi to it just to check as well).
    When I use Airport Utility to set up the Express, the only time Utility recognizes the Express is when the iMac Airport is off.  When I turn on the iMac Airport, the Airport Utility immediately loses the Express and asks to rescan.
    Maybe that explains my problem better.

    Hi, this is a user support board, apple employees don't post here. Just mentioning that since your message sounds like you thought you were writing to someone who can give out apple thingies
    Deauthorize your desktop over and over, since you say it is using more than one authorization. Here is an articel on that:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
    If that doesn't work you can use the "deauthorize all" method once per year, which is explained here

  • Keep getting kicked off internet.  When I try to sign back in to my wifi it says my network configuration has changed.  Help, please.

    I can't seem to get connected to my wifi internet connection.  I seem to get bumped off sometimes when another device in the house uses the wifi.  And, my computer sometimes gives me the message that another user is on my internet.  I have called Bell...they say all is working.  My wife's iPad connects.  Her pc connects, my iPhone and iPod connect.....not sure what is wrong.  Any suggestions?

    Reset the router, if that doesn't work then reset the DNS settings your ISP is using. To do that please click DNS Settings Update for instructions. If that doesn't work try another router.

  • I have a brand new Mac Pro Tower that continually kicks me off the internet and sometimes starts up not connecting to the internet?

    My brand new Mac Pro Tower that I spent a small fortune on sometimes boots up and does not connect to the internet when every other computer in my office does and other times it just kicks me straight off. My question is, is there a problem with the wi fi on these machines?

    Brand new nMP Mac Pro 6,1 Late 2013.... and it is defective - the older silver tower might be easier to find parts but at least it is not 65 lbs and is something that can be taken in - which I think you really need to do.
    When you run etrecheck from www.etresoft.com it can show what is installed, drivers and might help point to something on software side.
    Grant is the go-to person here I think among others for networking issues.
    Airport Express and signal strength, channel it is trying to use, whether the Network control panel settings are "correct" or need to be changed (even the order, what it is trying to look for and use).
    If you move it to another spot or put another computer over in that general vicinity...? behaves the same.
    I recall reading where the MacBook Pro model in 2012? and switched to a new chipset and some very long (huge) threads in their forum - which means also there was no real solution given.
    No, should not be. And other than network tests would be booting into Apple DiagnosticsTest mode - pulls down from Apple servers.

  • I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

    I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

    It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
    When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

    My Songs in my Ipod Touch 4 is not appearing when I tried to Play it but when i insert to my PC and use Itunes, songs,playlist appears in I tunes.What do I need to do?Can someone help me?Many thanks

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
