Itunes STILL doesn't recognise CD in drive

I know this question has been asked before, but having followed ALL the suggestions elsewhere with no results I have to ask again...
ITunes will only recognise an audio CD in the drive if it is in there when I open ITunes. Once it has recognised this disc that is it - no more will be recognised and I can't upload any more. I can eject the disc and put in another one, nothing, zilch, still says that the original disc is in there. If I close ITunes with the new disc in, and restart, hey presto, it finds the CD. Naturally, I have tried this with more than two CDs (I have 3000 to choose from).
So, what have I done about this?
ITunes Diognostics - disc drive detected correctly
Autoplay options checked - no change
ITunes 11.2.2.3 reinstalled - no change
Changed drive letter - no change
Updated Gear driver - no change
Followed instructions on editing registry - no change
What is going on? Can anyone suggest how to sort this out as it is really beginning to annoy me.
Thanks

when I got to the "system config utility" step my pc went crazy with errors and I had to create a new system restore point. Will leave this for now.. Very frustrating!

    If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • External drive storage & iTunes still shows up on PC hard drive @##$^&!!!!

    I am sure someone has already encountered this and solved the problem, so please point me in the correct direction. I have a laptop with a 40G internal HD, an external 180G HD and a 60G iPod. You can see I want/need/have to have iTunes (the library) reside on the external HD _ONLY_ if I want to fill up my iPod. I loaded iTunes on the external (repeatedly) and moved it from the laptop internal only to have it reappear in my laptop everytime I access iTunes to download or anything else. I once deleted iTunes directly from the laptop and I had to re-load my library from my iPod (a painful process).
    So, how do I keep iTunes from showing up on my laptop (the library) and eating up my HD space there?
    thanks,
    Stuck in St. Louis

    You don't install iTunes on the external.
    You put the library and music on the external.
    To move your iTunes music...
    1 - Quit iTunes.
    2 - Move the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive.
    Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press an hold the Shift key in Windows, Option key in Mac.
    3 - iTunes will ask to *Create new library* or *Choose existing library*. Select *Choose existing library* and select the library in the folder you just moved.
    4 - Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
    5 - Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.
    Note that the external must be connected, powered up and online BEFORE you start iTunes.

  • ITunes on Macbook Air doesn't recognise external hard drive once ejected

    I just bought  MacBook Air less than two weeks ago and I'm loving it and I successfully mapped my iTunes to my music library, which is stored on an external hard drive. Howeve, whenever I eject the external hard drive to use the MacBook Air in a mobile setting and then reconnect it, my iTunes doesnt remap to the library. This never happened on my PC so I was wondering if there was a work-around/solution and if this is a common problem?

    Think ive just found the problem.
    It seems as though I needed to "unlock" the hard drive by useing the unlock icon in the WD icon on the desktop.
    I forgot I had made a password for it and also didnt realise I had to enter the WD software that comes with the hard drive which automatically appears on the desktop when you turn it on or plug it in.

  • ITunes STILL doesn't recognize my nano!  I need your help!

    This has been a source of frustration for me for the entire day. I have spent a TOTAL 6 hours trying to resolve this problem only for it to persist. I am VERY CLOSE to giving up on this and I refuse to pay $60 for tech support. I will tell you how this came to be:
    1. I realized that the middle button on my iPod brings up the Apple logo.
    2. I installed the upgrade thingy and put it on my iPod nano.
    3. iTunes DOES NOT RECOGNIZE my nano.
    4. I spend hours starting and re-starting my computer, following ALL FIVE of the Rs. I uninstalled, re-installed, uninstalled, re-installed, etc. etc.
    5. The funny thing is that iTunes recognizes my mother's iPod Shuffle but not my Nano.
    I am very upset that I cannot (probably temporarily) use my Nano. It was a gift to me and I use it when I go for daily walks. This problem had started this morning on Sunday and it is still unresolved.
    Please help me. I am considering having this thing exchanged for a new one.

    I have the same problem and i tried everything that is on the site........... but nothing's working and im verry despaired, everytime i try to open the ipod updater it says error of service of ipod and when i try to open itunes it says that he's not connecting to the ipod but windows still recognise that the ipod is connected... i don't understand.
    I've tried all the day long to make it work too but nothing's working, i really need help, i've bought it like there's two days and i would like it to work !
    *im verry sorry for my english im normaly speakign french. Is there any discussions on french ??? it could be easier for me :P

  • ITunes still doesn't recognize iPod Touch with Microsoft Security Essentials Installed

    Just updated iTunes to v. 10.3.1.55 and still have the same problem with iTunes freezing when connecting my iTouch.  It will eventually respond but never recognizes my ipod.  Un-install Microsoft Security Essentials and it works fine.  I have 2 other computers with the same setup (software wise) and neither of those have this issue.
    Here's a thread with more details I've posted trying to find an answer to this...

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the suggestions, however I have already tried that and it had no effect.  I've put in exclusions, and even went so far as to disable the MSE service and still have the issue.  The only thing that corrects it is uninstalling MSE completely.
    This USED to work fine until I updated to iTunes 10.2.2 a couple of months ago...that release seems to be when it broke.
    I've even went so far as to completely reload my PC and it will work perfectly until MSE is installed....then no luck.

  • ITunes Match, doesn't recognise the songs which i've already uploaded and its trying to upload them once again

    I recently formatted my iMac, i have all of my music in an external hard drive. Once i formatted my iMac, i load all of my music from the hard drive right into iTunes, but if I turn on iTunes Match, it tries to upload all of the music again, the only way that i could handle this, is to delete all of my music, about 25,000 songs, and then download them all again. Is there any way that iTunes recognizes the music that i already have in my cloud and just leave it there?

    Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town.  I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album.  They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing.  Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there.  So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
    If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it!  I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

  • I've tried everything and itunes still doesn't work

    I followed everyone's suggestions and still I get the error message that Quicktime has not installed correctly. I have tried downloading the standalone verison and then I get more errors. I followed the directions from the post below and that still didn't work. Can anyone please help me!

    Now it shows Mariah(OFFICE/Owner)under group/username, it doesn't "System" is that a problem? Also there are 3 Permisson options: Full Control, Read and Special Permissions. The Full Control & Read Allowed permisson boxes are checked by the last one Speical permissions is grayed out and I can't click on Allow or Deny, is this a problem.
    (frown) there's something unusual going on in your case, Mariah.
    i'm going to try calling for reinforcements. in the meantime, i'd like you to also start up a thread over in "Quicktime for Windows". the QT specialists may well have some valuable insights for you.
    try to explain your circumstances as fully as possible in that thread. it would help to provide a reference link back to this thread:

  • Itunes still doesn't pick up my phone when I connect it to the computer. And I can't reset it with the power button because its broken. so can someone tell me how i can make itunes pick my phone up if thats possible

    it says its in recovery mode but idk for sure

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?
