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 ...

  • Itunes will no longer sync new music to my ipod

    I've had my ipod for a year and have been able to use it fine. Now, however, the ability to sync new music to my ipod has been removed. I've recently bought a new computer and successfully transferred everything over and been able to sync my ipod with the new computer and it has been working fine. THen I decided to buy some new music from the itunes store. At first I bought a few songs and placed them in a pre-existing playlist and that worked fine. Then I decided to download the next part of an audio book I bought a while ago off audible so I could listen to the next part and while I could download it it wouldn't add to itunes the way I've done it for the last 80 or so audiobooks I've downloaded from audible (go to file, select add file to library, find file, double click and then sync)
    There was no error message, just when I synced it wasn't there. So I bought an album from the itunes store. Again, something I've done before. I can buy the album, I can download it, I can even make a playlist for the album and listen to it on my computer. When I sync I get no error message but nothing I try can get that album from my computer onto my ipod.
    The only way I can listen to anything new (including the stuff I have already paid for) is to do so on my computer, which I don't want to do as I can't carry my computer around public transport with me. Besides, this is why I bought an ipod!
    I'm not trying to do aything new, just what I've done before.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Itunes will no longer import

    My itunes has suddenly decided not to let me import anymore. I have tried multiple CD's. It will start importing, get through one or two songs and freeze up the whole computer so I have to cold start it. It does this when i load songs to my folders through Media Player and try to import them from my hard drive as well.
    I have been able to play all the CD's through Windows Media Player just fine. I have unloaded and reloaded itunes. My quick time is up to date. I have turned off all firewalls in an effort to correct the issue. I am at a dead end. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have had the same exact problem. I'm using Vista, however. When I try to add a folder full of music to itunes using the "Add Folder to Playlist" option, nothing actually happens. It looks like it's working, but nothing ever gets trasferred to my itunes folder.
    There seems to be no info on the itunes site about this. Help!

  • ITunes will no longer import music from my hard drive.

    I click and drag the mp3 file from the folder to the iTunes library and drop it and nothing happens. I click "File" and go to "Add file to library" and find the file and nothing happens. Apple wants $30 just to talk to someone about their software malfunctioning. Someone help??

    In sounds like you are trying to manually manage your iPod's contents.  Have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is still ticked from under your iPod's Summary configuration tab in iTunes?

  • Itunes will no longer sync my music to my brand new iPad.

    Itunes will no longer sync to my brand new iPad.  Synched with old one just fine.  Goes through process and finishes but still no music and no error.  Tried selecting specific artists or songs and same. Have lastest software on both. Running Windows 7 Ultimate.  Tried reinstalling iTunes, nothing is working.  I had previously used iTunes Match but that was locking up my computer so I've since turned it off on the iPad so that I could have all of my music, not just the 300 or so that Match decided to add.  I'm really frustrated with these latest software updates, what the heck is going on over there?

    when you open the sync option go to pictures and make sure all of them are checked

  • I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says  iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards.  Says security code doesn't match with any card I use.  I have inputted new card info in the apple store area and it still says the same thing in itunes.  Customer service is no help at all.

    Hi sahgin,
    The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
    I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

  • ITunes *recently* no longer importing.

    ITunes is up to date. No changes to it since the last patch- no importing/setting changes. All of a sudden, iTunes is no longer importing CDs w/ error correction on. It will skip from song to song after about 2 seconds and it leaves a blank file for each song on the CD. Turning error correcting off is the only way that I can get iTunes to import right now.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Solved it myself. Thanks guys!

  • Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

    ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
    1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
    2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
    3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
    Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

    Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
    That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
    There are two things to try before you upgrade:

  • ITunes Will No Longer Sync

    I have an iPhone and iPad and today iTunes will not longer recognize either or will not sync with PC or update. I am not sure how to procede. Any suggestions out there. Worst case I delete all of itunes and begin again. but will lose music, correct?

    I still have not resolved this issue. My iPhone is now back to being able to sync, but iPad is not. I am thinking about just returning my new iPad if it is going to be this much trouble. It will do me absolutly no good if I cannot sync. I do not want to have to uninstall and reinstall. I did that once and lost all my music even though I back up. Then to pick and choose apps again from library and place them seems like too much work. Very frustrated that itunes will not run both for me...
    If anyone has any ideas for me let me know. If I do not have this resolved by Wednesday then I am returning iPad.

  • Itunes will no longer load on my computer.  I tried reloading it, but that did not work either

    Itunes will not longer load, how do I troubleshoot the issue?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Itunes will no longer recognize my phone

    I just bought the iPhone 5c. When I plugged it in to my old itunes it synced all of my old music. I wanted to start fresh so i made an icloud account and deleted all of those songs. I then signed on with my new account. After this, itunes will no longer display my phone as a device. I tried everything from reinstalling itunes to checking the Apple Mobile Device services and still nothing. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong so I can get some music?!

    1-reinstall itunes(to last version)
    2-reset all setting from settings(on iPhone)
    3-change port of usb to your Computer
    was it helpful?

  • I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete songs (Delete in gray)?

    I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete music from either one. If I select a song, "Delete" is gray in the menu and cannot be selected. What's happened? New iTunes not compatible?

    In order to manually remove music from the iPod via iTunes, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option checked from under each iPod's Summary tab.
