ITunes no longer imports or plays CD's

I'm running iTunes 8 on Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, and I've run into a problem where if I try to import a CD, iTunes starts to import the first track, then just proceeds to skip through every track until it reaches the end with nothing imported. As it tries to import, you can see the little animated importing animation to the left of the song, but it only lasts a second or so then moves to the other tracks and does the same until the end.
I get this same issue when trying to play a CD, with iTunes skipping through all the tracks trying to play something. I've done the iTunes diagnostics for the CD drive, and all tests have passed. CDs play fine in Windows Media Player BTW.
Here are the results of my diagnostic...

I have a nearly identical problem. I can import part of the first track, and for some reason, part of the 6th track and then skips over the rest. It shows the play times as a huge number (somewhere around 667 hours) but imports nothing. I cannot play the CD with iTunes either.
I bought vista home premium and was disappointed to discover it does not come with a x64 bit disk. I used vista 32 bit software and had absolutely no problems with iTunes. After a fresh install of vista for 64 bit iTunes no longer works properly. I can still play anything I transferred from my backup HD but no importing is possible.
I have tried the error correction with no success. I tried installing and running 32 bit iTunes and it gives me an error saying something to the effect of "iTunes is improperly installed. You may need to reinstall iTunes to fix this problem."
I have a hard time believing that this is due to a x64 bit problem as Apple has used this technology longer than most. Is this an issue with the latest iTunes? I am going to fuss with it some more but I'm very frustrated that I can bearly use the new iPod I bought. Any suggestions from Apple users as well as Dark Side (*vista or windows in general :)*) users would be awesome.

  • ITunes no longer updating "last played" after signing up for Match

    The subject says it all. Aftter signing up for Match and going through the whole upload/download dance, iTunes no longer records "Last Played." Other fields, like play count, might be effected too, but haven't check. Anyway to get this feature back? I use it a lot.

    This subject has been discussed in-depth on this forum. A search will turn up multiple already-existing threads.
    Yes, last played dates from iOS devices do not sync back to iTunes. This is a bug that has not been fixed yet by Apple.

  • Itunes no longer authorised to play 50 songs on my Ipod!!!!

    Very confused I plugged in my Ipod to charge and I got a message:
    THis computer is no longer authorised to play purchased items that are on the ipod, would i like to authorise this computer for items purchased from itunes store.
    If you do not authorise 50 songs will be removed from ipod.
    When I click authorise i get Error we could not complete your itunes store request An unknow error occured (-42408) There was an error on itunes store please try later, but itunes store is working fine ?!
    Help. I haven't changed any settings i just want my songs that i have paid for.

    Sarah, try this.
    Eject your ipod. Close itunes. Restart itunes withOUT your ipod connected. See if you can play one of those purchases in itunes.
    If so, you can probably connect the ipod and have it work properly. There seems to be some bug where if the ipod gets plugged in and that opens itunes, the error 42408 happens. But if itunes is started BEFORE the ipod is connected, it's OK.
    Good luck!

  • Share/Send Song to iTunes no longer imports song to iTunes

    Background: For a year now, i've used GB (3.0.5) to rip my vinyl, adjust tracks, etc and import tracks into iTunes (8.0.2). Never had a problem. Click Share/Send Song to iTunes, mix down starts, iTunes pops up and starts playing the new track~ Until...
    Recently: i got a new external HD for xmas and this week i moved my iTunes Library over to it to make some room. Well, after finally getting rid of all my !-marks and finding my album artwork again- iTunes is running fine.
    Now: 10 hours ago I ripped a new record in GB, split my tracks, etc and went to Share/Send Song to iTunes. Mix down starts, iTunes popped up but doesn't start playing the track!!!!!
    I've been around the world trying to set a Preference here, update a Library there, googled every combination of this tale i could think of, searched the Support threads, and Nuthin.
    This may be an iTunes problem. I may have messed up my Library. Will totally understand if i need to take my question to the iTunes section.
    Just wondering how i can tell GB where to export the song so that it goes to my current iTunes library> Please Help!?

    Solved My Own Problem: Garageband doesn't like it when you use ',/,() ,or "&" in the drive or folder names. Sorry, i thought this was resolved back in 1995.
    Thanks for looking here.

  • ITunes no longer imports track names and band name

    Up until a week ago, when importing a CD into iTunes, the name of the track and band would appear however this no longer happens. Now only the Track # appear and no band name. I know I can edit this manually, but it quite cumbersome. There has to be an easy fix or change that will correct this problem where when I import a CD to my iTunes library the song title and band will appear. Resolutions please? Thank you!

    Sorry, it took so long to respond. The computer is connected to the internet via a dedicated DSL line. As I mentioned, up until two weeks ago this was never a problem and really nothing has changed. I tried going under Advanced as you suggested but it came back with "Unable to connect to the CDDB server. The network connection was refused. Make sure you internet connection is active and your network settings are correct, then try again."
    Any other suggestions? Thanks

  • ITunes no longer imports 320kbs MP3 files

    I have been using iTunes for several years.  I am a professional audio engineer and make my living doing it.
    For years, I have been able to load 320kbs MP3 files into iTunes and load them into my iPhone to check my mixes.
    All of this has come to a complete stop since this last update with iTunes.
    For those of you who might have an answer for me, here is some things you might need to know:
    1. Yes, these are valid 320kbs MP3 files
    2. Yes, they play in Quicktime
    3. Yes, they have proper Meta, ID Tags (all versions)
    4. Yes, they load and play just fine in ALL other players (Windows, other iPhone, iPad, iPod players ect) EXCEPT they do NOT load in this version of iTunes.
    5. Yes, I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes - no help
    6. Yes, I have deleted my play list and rebuilt it from scratch - no help
    7. Yes, I have turned off iCloud - makes no difference
    8. Yes, OTHER PEOPLE (including my clients) are having the SAME PROBLEM with the new iTunes
    9. No, they do NOT load into iTunes -  iTunes does not allow me to drag and drop them, nor does it allow me to use the 'add to playlist' function.
    iTunes simply will not load my 320kbs MP3 files.
    I have been doing this same routine using the same method for years and it has ALWAYS worked until this last version.
    Something has seriously gone wrong with iTunes
    Anybody have a work around?  I really really need to be able to listen to my mixes on my portable devices (and so do my clients) and this bug is a show stopper.
    Thanks.
    Larry

    Go to iTunes preferences
    General Tab
    Import Settings
    Change Import using to  Wav Encoder
    Change Setting to Custom
    Now you will,have options to set everything
    How files are sent to iTunes is dependant on how you setup the bounce in Logic Pro itself
    In Bounce Dialog, select MP3 and then on right of Bounce Dialog box are settings for MP3 output file...
    or,,,,
    of course, you select any of the other formats like PCM Wave and give it's settings...
    You can actually bounce to many different output files at the same time by checking the appropriate boxes on left hand side..

  • Itunes doesn´t import and play PCM 5.1 audio files bounced by Logic Pro X

    Hello Evebody!
    I use to make many surround mix in logic pro X, and it bounces a PCM 5.1 surround files (.wav)
    How I need to organize and Play this mix the itunes should be the best software to do it, however
    Itunes don´t reconize this .wav file when I try to drag on its list. The preview by space bar plays the
    surround very well the QuickTime as well but Itunes do not accept this kind of file.
    If someone knows how to help me with this issue please let me know. I read that itunes accept DTS 5.1 formats
    but I want play only the audio file not a movie track.
    Thank´s
    Paulo

    Fool Of God, thanks much! I will give this a try. Man, if it's not one thing it's another! I love Apple, but if they keep breaking things, they're going to help Microsoft!
    **UPDATE** This work-around did work for me as well, and you're right Fool Of God, makes NO sense at all. The M4A file is 83 MB while the MP3 is only 63. So it has to be a glitch with importing MP3's of any size. Seems that 50MB is the limit. Thanks again, you saved my day!

  • Itunes no longer imports calendars into my ipod

    My first problem was that iTunes would only transfer over certain calendars, not all that I had selected. On top of that, some, but not all, of the start times were an hour later than my iCal calendars. And, I've been having issues with disappearing calendars. So, I restored the iPod and the following happened...
    After connecting my ipod to my iMac, I went to iPod options and under calendar, I selected to "synchronize all calendars". iTunes found all my calendars. I clicked ok, iTunes says it's "updating calendars" and after a few moments my ipod is back to normal. But, when I navigate to calendars on the iPod, there are no calendars to be found.
    So, I reinstalled itunes. deleted .plist files. I even exported all my calendars to .ics files and completely reinstalled iCal. Restarted the iMac a few times in between. Now, the only way I can get the calendars to show up on my ipod is to mount the ipod as a drive and copy over the .ics files. Since I have 16 calendars, the export and copy routine is not ideal.
    I do not sync with entourage. I have a .mac account, but I don't sync with that either. Nor do I have the Mark Space app that seems to appear in a lot of threads about odd times and disappearing calendars.
    I have a Gen3 20gb iPod with the latest updates, itunes (6.0.4) ical (2.0.3) and OS X 10.4.6 with 1 GB RAM and about 160 GB of available on the hard disk. My iPod has about 12 Gb of stuff on it.
    Any clues as to what's happening or how I can solve this?

  • ITunes no longer shows podcasts played from iPod

    It's just recently that I can no longer see which of the podcasts that I've already listened to on either of my two shuffles (2nd and 3rd gen). Also I used to be able to delete a "listened to" podcast in iTunes and it would automatically delete it from the iPod listing as well. Now I have to glance back and forth between iPod and iTune to determine which and been hear and which have been deleted. Previous ability to see "listened to" podcast from an iPod was much more user friendly than current version.

    Just found out. You select the podcast page on your iPhone 4. You drag your finger, from right to left, over the screen, just like you do to delete e-mails. The delete option will present itself. Touch the delete button and confirm. The podcast will be deleted.

  • HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

    I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

    tl:dr?
    Really?
    There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
    Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
    I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

  • Itunes no longer plays the first CD track etc. while importing?

    Now when I start importing from a CD Itunes no longer starts playing the first track after it has downloaded and the second track begins downloading. I can't see a switch or button that has shut that feature off but Itunes used to play it without being prompted but no longer does. What am I missing?

    hs,
    Just in case you haven't found the answer to your question in other postings, what works is to open the Terminal (found in Apps>Utilities) and type in : -
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE
    Hit return and then close the Terminal. The next time you open iTunes it should play again as you import cds.
    I guess it's all part of the "Macs are easier to use" policy of Apple :o)

  • Itunes will no longer import new tunes

    i'm using itunes 7.6.2 on an imac running 10.5.2. i've been experiencing a lot of the same problems i've been reading about on here (discs disappear from the finder, cds no longer eject, etc...) but i've been importing new tunes with no trouble at all... until now.
    all of a sudden itunes will no longer import anything whether i use file/import or drag and drop. when i use drag and drop the file appears on the playlist in grey for a second and then vanishes. otherwise itunes is playing tracks in my 17,500+ file library with no problem.
    anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

    Hi
    I have a similar problem with importing CD's in iTunes 7.6.2 (9) on 10.5.2. If I have iTunes open and insert a CD then the audio disc mounts on the desktop fine but the second that the disc is recognized in iTunes, the mount on the desktop disappears. No matter if I chose yes or no in the import window the disc also dismounts from within iTunes and the disc is just regarded as having disappeared all together. If I then eject and reinsert the disc everything runs smoothly ... and it is like this every time. I have to insert the disc twice for it to work
    If instead I exit iTunes and the insert the disc then there is no problem what so ever. iTunes starts up automatically and I can press the import button to import flawlessly.
    Odd behavior if you ask me ...
