ITunes not accessing Gracenote CDDB?

I'm in the middle of ripping my Beatles CDs and iTunes will not access CDDB. I get an error which simply says (Server Error).
Is this an iTunes or a Gracenote/CDDB problem?

[copied from my reply in your similar thread]
We've gotten the same error at the same time. I guess we need to let this play out. In the meantime, I'm gonna update iTunes.

Itunes not accessing gracenote

Help! I have a pile of CD's that I want to import. I haven't used my itunes for a while and when I opened it the upgrade came up. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not, but now when I put in a cd it does not recognise it at all, and I only get 'track 1' etc.
It does not access gracenote at all - even when I go into advanced and get track names - nothing happens, no bar at the top or even the cursor busy icon. I have checked my preferences, run the diagnostics etc and cannot see why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something really obvious?
Any suggestions wouls be gratefully received!

Mine wasn't reading the cd's and I had to do some driver updates and that made it work for me. But then I started having the problem with it not burning cd's. I had to download an upgrade for a cd-dvd driver. I know this isn't much help but check your drives. Plus these guys here are great someone will help you get it fixed they're who helped me.
Good Luck, Kathy

Internet connection cuts off after accessing GraceNote CDDB

This is for everyone how has the same problem!
After several times being in situation my internet connection (broadband cable) has been cut off after accessing GraceNote CDDB, and after several times I had to either restart or shut down my Power Book in order to access GraceNote CDDB again for each CD I wanted to put in my iTunes Music Folder, and after I checked all feedbacks and discussions regarding this matter - I did find The Solution - finaly!
You just have to uncheck Automatic access to GraceNote CDDB in iTunes Preferences (Importing) and to do it from drop-down menu manualy - and everything will work in perfect order!

I just turned the IPV6 off, I previously tried restarting safari and the computer itself (im not sure which you were referring to) but hopefully turning the IPV6 to off resolved the problem. Thanks so muchfor your help, I think you got it =). If you dont mind me asking what exactly did that do that fixed it though?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Problems Accessing Gracenote CDDB: "HTTP Processing Error" Help Please

I'm hoping for a bit of help here people, having a few problems I would be grateful for your assistance with!
I've been having trouble accessing Gracenote for a couple of months now. What was happening was that when I tried to search for the CD info on Mediasource, the gracenote icon would appear in the top left corner, and the screen loading as if obtaining the info, but then nothing happens and the info is left blank.
I have tried everything I know, and everything that has been suggested here! I have altered the ZoneAlarm settings, deleted the cddb file, checked that the settings in Mediasource are correct, downloaded the latest drivers, re-registered for gracenote manually and various other things. None of these have solved the problem.
Finally, I decided to completely re-install Creative Mediasource. After doing this, I tried to access gracenote again, and was asked to re-register. I did this, but then recieved an error message stating "Internal Socket Error". THis happened a couple of times, before the message was replaced with "HTTP Processing Error", whenever I try to access gracenote. It still will not recognise the music!
Basically, I am at the end of my knowledge and the end of my patience!!! I really don't know what more to do and so I'm throwing this open to you guys - any help would be so, so appreciated! The only this I can think is that my dad got an ipod two months ago, and has installed itunes on the PC. From what I understand, that uses gracenote too - are the two programmes clashing? If so, can anyone suggest a way I can alter this?
You're my last hope before I'm condemmed to a lifetime of filling in CD's by hand!!! I'll be really grateful if any of you guys can help me out!
Thanks!
David

Try delete the file "cddb.db" or/and "cddb.ds" (if they exist) under the directory "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\NetContent\MediaSource". See whether it hel
ps.
If the above does not help, then try the following:- Go to Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt. - Run the following commands in the command line to unregister the files: cd "C:\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files" CTRegsvr /u CDDBControlCreative.dll CTRegsvr /u CDDBUICreative.dll CTRegsvr /u CTCDDB.nco CTRegsvr /u NetCoMgr.nco- Run the following commands in the command line to register the files: CTRegsvr CDDBControlCreative.dll CTRegsvr CDDBUICreative.dll CTRegsvr CTCDDB.nco CTRegsvr NetCoMgr.nco

Itunes 6 does not access the cddb gracenote data base any more

i have installed norton products, but changing the setting does not affect the status, i could not successfully update to itunes 6+ and the girl from apple said it has no major upgrade in it, but my grace note data base does not work any more, i get a yellow triangle and problem with http and stuff, so i changed to winamp for filing my music, though i believe, sound wise, itunes might be slightly better, but winamp is consumer friendly and whiskey bernstein in my case, the "momo" time thief gray of itunes is not a turn on, so does any one know what can happen to the cddb data access ? merci, henri

It's can be done this way but it doesn't mean it is supposed to be done this way.
There are no duplicate items.
If you want to listen to a song on your iPhone and also on your iPod, you have to have a copy in each library.
You just tick sync all songs in each library then tick/untick each song as necessary for each library.
I never uncheck anything.
I just add/delete from a playlist and sync.
How the **** do we now know which library we are in???
You know which **** library you are in because it is the one you **** well opened.
If you only use one library, there is no wondering which library you are using.
Any way, good luck!

When i download a cd my itunes freezes and get the note "accessing gracenote media database, querying database" it does that even when im not connected to the internet

i have talked to gracenote and they said its an apple problem

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Not automatically accessing Gracenote for track info - but it WAS!

Hope that someone can help me. I have a new MB with Leopard 10.5.2
I have been ripping music and up to tonight it was automatically getting track names. I have not done anything or changed anything - I was in the middle of a ripping session and then for no reason, it was not accessing Gracenotes for the track info. Sure I can do it manually but that is a real pain - especially when it WAS working perfectly and no other app was in use, only iTunes.
Itunes prefs, says that it is checked to automatically get the track info, I have done restart, repair permissions, quit, restart - all to no avail.
Any suggestions please woul dbe most welcome!

Hi All,
I was also experiencing this problem so I emailed the Gracenotes support ([email protected]) and advised them that myself and multiple others were experiencing this problem. Here is the reply:
+Hi James,+
+Thank you so much for your letter. We've been working on this all day+
+and it looks like we've resolved the issue.+
+Please restart your application (and if that doesn't help, just restart+
+the computer) and try again. I'm hoping you'll see this has been+
+resolved. If it hasn't, please write me back and tell me who your ISP is+
+and anything else that you think might assist me (Windows or Mac, etc.)+
+Please feel free to post if it's now resolved for you with the notice+
+that others should likewise restart.+
Sincerely,
+Julie Holabird+

As I am at work at the moment I haven't been able to check if it's working yet, but I will be checking as soon as I get home.

ITunes has stopped accessing Gracenotes when I try to import from CD's

My iTunes library has stopped accessing Gracenotes when importing CD's. Now I either have to manually input all the info or rip it using Windows Media Player and import from a folder which takes ages when you've got loads of new CD's.
I've checked preferences and everything seems to be checked that needs to be so I'm not sure why it seems to have stopped.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem and does anyone know if there's a fix for it?

Not sure what you've seen/tried so far, so I'll run you through my standard advice as of this morning, Marty.
There's a bug with 10.1.0.54, Amanda, that is causing "iTunes has stopped working messages" (citing CoreAudioToolbox.dll in the Problem Reports for the error) for some folks when importing CDs with the AAC encoding, adding/converting files to AAC, and in some cases syncing devices (when the convert to 128 kbps AAC option is enabled).
Short of rolling back your iTunes to 10.0.1.22 and your Apple Application Support to 1.3.2 (CoreAudioToolbox.dll is kept in the Apple Application Support program files), there's a few possible workarounds.
(1) Change your importing prefs to use a different encoding (won't help with the device syncing variation though), and/or disable the convert to 128 kbps AAC when syncing option.
(2) Replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a 7.9.3.0 as per:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12576816#12576816
(3) Or, replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a shadow copy of a 7.9.3.0 as per:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12583499&#12583499
(3 and 4 do help with the device-syncing variation.)

TS2529 itunes will not access the istore or itunes server for updates

I can not access the istore or itunes server from my itunes page...any articles or links on this???

Hi, tsgeisel,
iTunes can access CDDB for track information after a CD has been imported into iTunes by using the Advanced menu option I mentioned in my previous post.
If you want to check it out, import a CD when you're not connected to the internet - or with Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet unchecked in your iTunes Importing Preferences.
After the CD has been imported there will be no track information included. But if you then select the tracks - all together, one at a time or in any combination you desire - and select Get CD Track Names, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Gracenote CDDB service not submitting correct names for songs when importing from CDs

Gracenote CDDB service not submitting correct names for songs from purchased CDs

You are looking at the 1st Gen Nano manual.
You need to look at the 2nd Gen Nano manual here -> iPod Nano Features Guide
Not much difference but that page 16 shows iTunes 6. You have iTunes 7.
You have to first select the CD.
The Import button is now at the bottom right.
Insert the CD and select it in iTunes and the Browse icon (eye) at the bottom right will change to Import.
Go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced and tick "Automatically get CD track names from Internet".

When I plug in my Ipod touch to my computer a warning appears "The program cant start because MSVCR80.dll is missing." I can not access my Itunes library. Also, an "error 7 Windows error 126" appears as well. Any ideas?

I have NO IDEA what the heck to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
