Itunes will not read brand new cd

I am trying to get Itunes to play the new Paul Simon Cd "Surprise." After about a minute, my Mac ejects the Cd without playing it or giving me any message. I have an Imac G5 and am running Mac os X 10.4.6. and Itunes 6.04. Never had this problem before. Is there some kind of anti-copying code built into this (and possibly other) cd's? Thanks for any help.

I'm just glad to know new CD's aren't coming with some embedded code to keep them from playing (and being copied) on computers.
Hmm, if only that were the case. If you live in the USA, you won't see many copy-protected titles. Here in Finland, however, there are a huge number of them. For the most part, Macs handle the discs just fine. However, most of these discs sold here contain intentional flaws (C2 errors) in the actual audio portion of the discs. Even if you "successfully" import these defective discs, the audio will be filled with defects.
In the USA, it seems that when people unwittingly buy copy-protected discs, they return them to the merchant for a refund when they find out they can't rip them or even play them properly. Here, on the other hand, nobody is willing to buy them at all, so they sit on the shelves in the record shops until there is little choice but to mark the price down to about 5€ (the going price for new releases is over 20€).

Itunes will not read the ripped CD

My hard drive crashed. With a new drive,I have now imported all my previously saved music into my Itunes library perfectly. Now, after having ripped a dozen full CD's, the new music has been loaded and can be played, but itunes will not read the titles, artist or the CD title. Only my past music is labeled.

hi Patricia!
sounds like the new configuration isn't performing Gracenote queries properly. let's try checking through a few of the usual suspects:

Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.

Photoshop Elements 11 will not read the new Nikon Raw/NEF

Photoshop Elements 11 will not read the new Nikon Raw/NEF (from Nikon D750) files even though codec has been downloaded - what do I do?

Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. Consider buying PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the latest free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE11 (keep your NEF originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I have the same problem. Have you found a fix? I have tried everything???

Itunes will not detect my new nano. HELP! I have a dell with vista. my old shuffles work fine with itunes, but it will no longer detect my nano. Apple says my nano is fine.

I've worked with Apple 2 times. The first time we spent 2 hours on the phone uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, quicktime and other software and it worked for a while. Now, once again, itunes will not recognize my 6th generation nano. My old shuffle works fine. I sent the nano to apple and they shipped it back stating it was fine after upgrading firmware. However, it still will not be recognized from itunes. Please help, I'm totally lost and disappointed after spending money and so much wasted time on this thing.....

What Mac or mobile device are you using, with what operating system?

Itunes will not read some of me music from my external harddrive?????

I keep getting a(!) everytime I try to open up music that is in wma file, what do I need to do???

a wma file is a Microsoft file. it will only play in Windows media player and afew other players that have basicly paid Microsoft a fee to have there players able to play wma files. iTunes will not play wma files at all BUT itunes makes it easy as pie to convert those files into something it can play long as there not protected wma's you may have bought online. First goto edit, preferencs. Once there in the settings, hit the "Advance" tab at top, you will see 3 more tabs appear below. hit the "Import" tab there you will most likly want to set it to "MP3" so you will be able to play all songs u import or rip from CDs on iTunes and other apps. Below that you can set the bit rate. after that just rightclick all the songs with the ! beside them and select Import or convert section to MP3

ITunes will not copy some new cd's cda files?????

My iTunes will transfer some cda files from a new CD. ANy clues on possible causes ????

The .cda files are just tiny (44 byte) index files that are used on an audio CD. They are not the music, although it is a peculiarity of Windows that if you use its file system to look at an audio CD, all you see are the CDA files!
If you are trying to rip/import the songs into your iTunes library, you can use iTunes. Look in iTunes Help at the article "Import songs from CDs."

I tried to download the newest version for iTunes and now it is saying something about Apple Mobile Device. And now my iTunes will not complete the new download because of this. What does this mean???

I tried to download the newest version for iTunes and now it is saying something about apple mobile device. Never heard of this before and now it will not finish downloading because of this. What is it?? What do i need to do to get itunes to download onto my computer again??

I got most of it done but now it is not letting me delete my C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
It says that file is open in another program....What do i need to do to delete that?
Do you currently have the iCloud control panel installed? If so, uninstall that. Can you do the deletion now?

ITunes will not read a newly inserted CD

Until now no problem reading CDs. Now when I insert a CD after another one, iTunes does not seem to recognize the new CD and does not display its content. The contents of the previous CD remain in display. I have to exit from the program completely and restart it for iTunes to "see" the new CD.
MyComputer sees the contents of the new CD. The problem occurs on both my optical disk readers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I get a warning when I start up itunes that it has a problem with the registry settings and to reinstall it.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Itunes will not read iphone when connected to laptop

I will connect my iphone 4 to my laptop, and when I go into ITunes, it will not register the phone. I cannot sync my phone of all my music. I need help.

Are you using a windows PC? Does it show the iPhone in the device manager list? Maybe a driver issue.

Itunes will not continue to new track

hi all,
I have just opened itunes today and played a song from my collection, once the track has finished itunes stops and will not play the next track automatically. Also if a track is playing and i click next from the controlls >> the track stops.
Any ideas how to solve this? thanks

The usual reason for the track not advancing ist that the little boxes to the left of the track name are not checked.
You can check all your tracks by using Ctrl+click in one of the boxes in your library view.
Or use edit>select all and right click on the selction - check all should be an options.

Itunes will not recognize my new Ipod Nano

It will charge but my computer says a driver needs to be installed but it cannot find it and iTunes does not recognize it at all. Any help?

Okay. Maybe they're looking for the usbaapl.sys driver as well.
Try to bring the Hardware wizard up again. This time browse to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
... and select the usbaapl.sys file.
Any better luck with that one?

Itunes will not read Ipod Nano...

I just got an Ipod Nano for my Windows XP Dell Inspiron 8500. Installed the latest version of Itunes 5... and any 'latest' updated for Ipod software. (uninstalled/reinstalled SEVERAL times)
Everytime I open ITunes, I get a message saying:
"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." ...
SO I did that .. didnt work.. then I went to the Apple site and followed step by step instructions to possibly correct this problem... I followed ALL instructions and I still get the error message. My computer , windows explorer, detects the ipod fine.. but Itunes just cant read it... any ideas or help on this one?? Im about to pull my hair out.
thanks!

my advice is to uninstall EVERYTHING you downloaded, this includes iTunes 5 as well as anything else (eg iPod Updater), reboot as prompted to a clean state. Then install just the software that came with your nano on the CD. There's software on the CD that cannot be downloaded. Provided this works, and iTunes 4.9 can recognise the nano, THEN you can install iTunes 5.0 and whatever else you want.
