ITunes thinks disc 2 of two-disc set is disc 1

I am trying to import Rush - Chronicles, which is a two-disc set. I was able to import disc 1 successfully. However, when I insert disc 2, iTunes shows it as disc 1, lists all the tracks from disc 1, and warns me that I'm about to import duplicate tracks.
Even stranger, the Finder also shows it as disc 1, and lists the disc 1 tracks rather than the disc 2 tracks.
However, if I play the CD in my stereo, it plays the correct disc 2 songs.
Can any help me with this odd situation?
thanks!

The CD info comes from a database that isn't Apple's (it is Gracenote's CDDB) so that is the problem. Of course it plays in a stereo (as Disk 2) , it is Disc 2 despite iTunes saying different.
Manually enter the song titles, and you can change to "Disk 2 of 2" in get info for all songs at once.
Finder is getting the data from the same place by the way.
Note rarely you will get disk ID errors owing to the way Gracenote works ( total disk length, number of tracks time of each track generates a hash number that is compared to the database) - as flukily enough there will be some other CD out there with the same charateristics. In this case it is just a CDDB blunder.

  • ITunes thinks that my iPad was never set up

    I recently got a retina display iPad. I set this up out of the box, using the iPad's quick start, product registration, etc. This iPad -- which is fully set up and functional -- will not successfully interface with iTunes. Attempting to sync the iPad results in iTunes bringing up the initial product setup window, as if though my iPad had never been used before.
    Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes.
    Yes, I set up the iPad with the same Apple ID as my laptop.
    Yes, the iPad and laptop are registered in the same country.
    I have used the app store on my iPad, accessed my stored  information, downloaded apps (both new and previously purchased), and I have seen no signs of any connectivity or usability issues other than this problem. The bizarre thing is that the iTunes Store accessed via my laptop is not showing any record of the new app purchases I have made on the iPad; it DOES show that money has been removed from my account.
    The real issue: I'd really like to sync my music and some videos, but I don't want to just reformat my iPad and potentially lose access to the apps I've purchased on it (which aren't showing up in my iTunes).

  • New here! Importing two CD sets? iTunes thinks they are separate albums.

    Hi! I'm new here, and I can't find this topic. Sorry if it's already been asked:
    I have many CD sets with two or more discs. Itunes thinks that each disk is a different album, and iTunes not only puts them in different folders, but often with different album covers.
    So, how do I merge these CDs into one "album" with the right cover art and all the songs of the albums.
    Thank you!

  • HT1382 Backups from iTunes  to Disc is not available in iTunes 11.1.5.5.

    Hi,
    1. Backup from iTunes to Disc is not available in iTunes 11.1.5.5.
    2. Also, while backing up iTunes on Windows PC, the old back is deleted!
    3. How can we keep two versions of iTunes back up? Simple need for any user!
    Regards, Ramani

    1 - See this backup tip.
    2 & 3 - If you are refering to device backups see your other thread. If you want multiple snaphots of the iTunes library then the tool in 1. above can be used for that too. Create multiple backup pairs with different destinations and operate them in rotation.

  • HT2534 I have two class sets of iPad 2s and I would like to set up an iTunes account but don't want to put in my credit card information or individual students' information. What is the best way to set up class sets of iPads?

    I am a K-6 tech teacher and just recieved two classroom sets of iPads. I'm wondering what is the best way to set up iTunes so that apps may be downloaded. I do not want to put my personal information in and I do not want students to put in their informtion either. Teachers want to be able to download free apps and when the school purchases iTunes gift cards, they would like to be able to use them. What is the best way to go about this?
    Thank You!
    Jess

    Contact your IT person. They will help you with provisioning & setting up the iPads and getting apps on them and locking them down so students can only access certain settings and apps.
    I have asked that this post get moved to iPad Enterprise as it is more approriate forum for your question (even though it is about schools))
    Don't create an AppleID yourself and use it to put stuff onto the school iPads. You can't have more than 10 iPads to one iTunes account anyway.

  • Setting up iTunes on new computer for two users

    I just got a new Windows 7 laptop and I'm trying to figure out how to transfer two distinct user libraries to the new computer.
    A little background: My wife and I have been using the same computer for years with different user accounts - she had her 30 GB iPod with all her music, and I had my 80 GB iPod with all my music and playlists. All of our music, however, has been saved and configured to work with an external hard drive (E:\iTunes).
    I'm keeping the external hard drive with the new computer, and since all the file paths are configured to match up with E:\iTunes, it seems like it should be really easy to make the switch to the new computer. But so far it isn't.
    I installed iTunes 9 on my new computer and set the default file path to the E: drive, enabled my iPod for disk use, and tried synching my iPod, but the only songs that transferred were those that I had purchased via the iTunes store -- which wasn't very many.
    What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do so that when I plug in my iPod the iTunes on my new computer replicates my old library, playlists and all? I don't want to manually copy over the entire E:\iTunes folder because there are a lot of tunes on there that I don't want or need -- files that I will eventually have to upload for my wife's account and her iPod.
    Any help the users on this forum can offer would be appreciated. Thanks!

    It depends on whether the entire iTunes folder, including all the library files, are on the external drive, or that drive contains only the music.
    First, resetting the location of the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes preferences, by itself, only sets where future purchases and imports go. In and of itself it won't reset where iTunes looks for tracks already in the iTunes library. That's all contained in your former library files. If those were on the old computer and no longer available, use the Add Folder to Library command in iTunes and select the folder on the external drive that contains the tracks. That will get them into iTunes, though you'll have lost all your playlists, ratings, and playcounts (which are also in the iTunes library files).
    If the iTunes library files are also on the external drive, launch iTunes while holding down the Shift key and navigate to and select the folder containing the library file.
    If the library files were on the old computer but you still have access to it, you may be able to copy the library file to the same place on your new computer, presuming the path to the external drive remains the same.
    Hope this helps.

    You would call Apple Support, for which you would probably be charged for the support.
    Note that just because those CDs work with your old computer doesn't mean that it's still not an issue with those CDs and the burner in your newer system. Some CD brands just don't work well with some optical drives. If you haven't tried a different brand, and if you're using CD-RW trying CD-R, I would suggest you give that a try just to eliminate that possibility.

    Hi Jetx273,
    If you are getting an error message of "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn a CD in iTunes, you may want to take a look at the following article:

  • Downloaded a two CD set, but the tracks got mixed together

    Have two CD set of yoga teaching, downloaded first one and it showed up fine on Ipod. Downloaded CD #2 and on both computer and ipod the tracks were integrated. So now have in order track #1 and followed by another track #1, track #2 and a second track #2 and so on--as oppposed to seeing tracks 1 thru 13 from CD1 followed by tracks 1 thru 12 form CD 2
    What am I doing wrong? The two dsics should follow one another not get mixed together.

    Two options I can think of:
    1. Edit album info so that each CD has a different
    name (add number 1 and 2).
    2. In the track info for the songs there are entries
    for track x of y and for disk a of b. Try editing
    the tags for disc number to be the right one.
    Thanks--where/how do i access album information--I can't find that option/choice. I've been on a Mac for a while, but never had an ipod until now so an absolute novice on this aspect.

  • How to install two iTunes on same PC for two iPods?

    My family now proudly owns 2 iPods, but we only one PC. So it needs to host two iPods, with their resepctive iTunes on it.
    I thought this was going to cause problems, and worried that installing iTunes for the most recently purchased iPod would overwrite the existing programme, wipe the music off it and cause my middle daughter to kill me. The guy in the shop said, no problem - create a new User Account and install the new iTunes on that, and it would be OK. So I did.
    I got a bit worried when the install prog wanted me to put the new iTunes into the same folder that the old one was in, (even though I was logged in as a different, new user) so I found a new location for it and went ahead.
    Guess what - it wiped the old iTunes anyway. When I opened up the old one, it had been overwritten anyhow.
    I did a system restore to try and get it back to the previous setting - deleting the new user I had created. And went back into the old version of iTunes to see if the music files had come back. But it wouldn't even run - saying that some files were now missing.
    This is doing my head in, it's happened before (and I had to buy Copypod to restore the stuff on my iPod).
    How can you get two copies of iTunes on the same PC running two separate iPods?!! And how can I get the overwritten files back?

    You don't need two copies of iTunes. There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries as each account using iTunes will have it's own iTunes Music Folder. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • ITunes Only Burns At 8X (Despite Being Set At 16X)

    Hi, I recently noticed that whenever I burn a CD with iTunes now, it burns rather slowly even though I have it set to burn at 16x. iTunes doesn't show what speed it's actually burning at but I figured it must be burning at 8x since it now takes about twice the normal amount of time to burn a disc. For example, it just took me approx. 7 min. to burn a CD with 16 tracks (56 min.). I decided to burn the same playlist (with the same CD-R media) using Burrrn with the speed set at 8x and sure enough it took about the same time (7 min.), confirming my suspicion that iTunes is burning at 8x (despite being set to burn at 16x). What would be the cause of this? I've even tried to set it at different speeds like 12x, 24x, etc. but it still seems to burn at 8x. Thanks for any help.

    I also forgot to mention that whenever I burn with iTunes now a text file named GEAREXT.WOIDENT shows up on my desktop. This is what it reads (it's obviously information sent by iTunes to the burner):

  • HT4053 How do I use my itunes account to back up two separate phones

    How do  I set up my existing Itunes account to back up two IPhone 4S's?

    You can just connect each phone to iTunes and back it up. The devices will be recognized as different phones and will keep separate backups. You can also sync each of them with iTunes and each can have its own sync settings.

  • I think iTunes thinks my new iPod is my old iPod and it's keeping me from syncing apps

    I recently set up an iPod 5 to replace my iPod 4.  The new one was my wife's that she never used and let me have it.  So I restored it, tied it to my account, and I've been using it for a couple of weeks and a few days ago downloaded Tiny Death Star, which I've been enjoying.
    However, ever since I downloaded it I have been unable to sync with my computer.  I repeatedly get the "This iPod is no longer authorized for this app, do you want to authorize", error in iTunes then Iclick yes, then it asks over again and I can't sync anything else.  So I deleted the game(sigh...) and everything worked fine again -- but when I try to "push" the app to my iPod from iTunes, it tells me that "tinydeathstar" is not compatible with my iPod -- which is absolutely incorrect.  It is incompatible with my iPod 4 (there's some compass thing it needs?) but I downloaded it on my iPod 5 and it runs like a champ.
    Tiny Death Star is the only app I have that won't run on an iPod 4.  I think that's the issue with the syncing and the pushing -- iTunes thinks that my new iPod is the old iPod, and won't "allow" an app it thinks it is incompatible.  To remedy this I've tried 1) doing everything from this support article : (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389), 2) restoring my iPod to factory settings 3) removing both devices from my account and re-adding only the new one and finally 4) uninstalling itunes and manually removing a bunch of registry stuff.
    None of that worked.
    So it isn't a huge issue for now.  I just won't be able to sync my iPod for however long I play this game.  But eventually more and more apps won't be compatible with an iPod 4 and I'll be in a pickle.  I might have to rebuild my computer (sigh) just to get itunes to work again.
    So, other than rebuilding my computer, any ideas?

    The app seems to be the tiny death star .  try reset the sync folder and try it on another account (create one if you dont have one). mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1627; http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600 and for windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692. tell me what happens.

  • ITunes thinks iPhone has more music than it really does, and won't sync

    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1, and am running iTunes 11.1.5 on Mavericks.
    I was using iTunes Match on the iPhone, but I don't want to do so any more because I have acquired a lot of music that I can't upload to iTunes Match. (This is because my wife has her own iTunes Match account, and Apple won't allow two different iTunes Match accounts to be used simultaneously on the same computer, even under different user accounts. So because my wife uses her iTunes Match account under her user account on the same computer, I cannot activate my own iTunes Match account and upload my additional music.)
    So I turned off iTunes Match on the phone. I then went into Settings - General - Usage - Music and deleted all the music on the phone.
    The phone now shows as having no music on it at all, both in Settings and in the Music app itself.
    I hooked the phone up to iTunes in order to sync a new load of music onto it. Under "Summary", the usage bar shows no music on the phone at all, and a total of 10.99 GB free. This is exactly as expected.
    I have ticked "Sync only checked songs and video". In my iTunes library, only ten songs are checked. So I am attempting to put only ten songs onto the phone (for now).
    I go over to the "Music" tab of the phone. I check "Sync Music". Suddenly a huge blue bar appears at the bottom, and it now says I'm over capacity by 975.8 MB. And yet at the top of the screen, next to "Sync Music", it also says "10 songs". So it knows I only want to put 10 songs on the phone, and yet it thinks that this is too much for the 10.99 GB free space on the phone.
    Heading over to the "On This iPhone" tab of the phone, I see that all of the music that I previously deleted from the phone is showing up here, even though it's no longer on the phone. If I double-click on any of the items, they don't play, and an exclamation mark symbol appears next to them, indicating that the tracks aren't actually present. If I right-click on any of the items, the only options I have are to play them, get info, check the rating, or show in iTunes Store. There's no delete option.
    It looks like, as long as I don't try to sync the iPhone, iTunes recognises that there's no music on it, and it's got over 10 GB of free space. But as soon as I try to sync it, iTunes thinks that the old, deleted music is still on it, and that I therefore have no space to put anything more on. So it refuses to sync any music to the phone, even though there's plenty of space for it.
    I have tried ejecting the phone, restarting it, and remounting it. I have also tried signing out of my account on the phone and signing back in. It makes no difference. I don't know what else to do.
    So I can't sync the iPhone. What's going wrong, and what can I do to make it work?

    Same problem here. Mine is a iPhone 5s......
