ITunes Won't Recognize CD; Automatically Ejects

I am trying to import some new CDs. Admittedly, they are of a slightly different format (CD / DVD combo - DualDisc format). When I place the CD in the iMac, it attempts to read the CD, but ultimately just ejects the CD without reading it. Should I flip the disc over, the DVD side runs perfectly. Any thoughts on how to import the CDs? I thought I had imported CDs like this in the past, but it isn't working now.

I've too have a 2010 iMac which is having problems loading bought music CDs (they keep automatically ejecting). Following suggestions in this thread I successfully managed to mount the problem CDs by turning the iMac on its side so that the CD slot is facing upwards. Not exactly an elegant solution, but it worked.
Also, once the CD mounted, I could put the iMac back the right way up and iTunes happily read the CD.

  • 2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

    So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
    Never had a problem.
    1.
    Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
    iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
    Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
    iTunes Helper is used during startup.
    Everything seems fine.
    Any help?
    2.
    I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
    I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
    They haven't been transfering over.
    So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
    My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
    I do not know why.
    No idea how to fix it.
    If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
    I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
    Can anyone please help me with any of this?
    I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
    Thanks so much.

    hey mill1640,
    Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
    If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • ITunes won't recognize my 120 gb iPod Classic?

    My mac recognizes my iPod Classic as a device but not specifically as an ipod and itunes won't recognize it so I can't sync any of my music...it worked perfectly fine this morning. I think I messed it up but I don't know how to fix it, so here's the story: Originally I was just trying to put movies (that are in itunes) onto my ipod through my mac but nothing worked (i tried manually and automatically syncing, changing the file type, etc), so I plugged it into my PC laptop to try to put the movies on it that way but it reformatted my iPod and deleted everything and the movies didn't even go on.. when I plugged it back into my Mac itunes opened automatically like it should but didn't recognize any devices so I can't even restore it to reformat it Nothing that I have come across on the internet has worked. please help me

    I have the same problem. Downloaded iturne 9 and now it wont recognize my iPod. My Computer recognizes it until itunes opens then itunes ejects the ipod. I have a Classic 80GB. I have reset it, I have reinstalled itunes. No go. I think that I read somewhere in the download section (too late obviously) that itune 9 only syncs Classics (fall 2009) versions and iphones.

  • Itunes won't recognize the 80g, PLEASE HELP

    itunes won;t recognize the 80g, PLEASE HELP, I've done everything the intstructions suggested. My old 20g used to pop up and automatically install. This does nothing

    You might be running an earlier version of iTunes.
    The latest version is 7.4.3, you can access it at this location:

    Let me know if that helps.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Itunes won't recognize iPod after installing MediaMonkey..

    Hi,
    I recently switched from Itunes to MediaMonkey, and I'm very happy. But my girlfriend still uses iTunes. And now her iTunes won't recognize neither her or my iPod when I connect either of them. Windows and MediaMonkey recognizes them perfectly. iTunes just comes up with this error message:
    "The software necessary to communicate with iPod isn't correctly installed. Install iTunes again before installing iPod-software."
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes a number of times. I even tried uninstalled MediaMonkey, but nothing works..
    PLEASE HELP ME, I'M GOING INSANE HERE =(

  • Itunes won't recognize ipod and videos gone

    I have a 30GB Video Ipod and itunes won't recognize it. I have to keep putting the music files back in and converting them. Also the Movie and TV Shows I bought disappeared. I have a Windows XP Home Edition, and itunes 7. I downloaded itunes about 4 or 5 months ago, it that helps. My ipod shows up in my computer though. I want to know:
    1. How can I get itunes to recognize my ipod
    2. How do I get itunes to keep and remember my files
    3. How do I get my videos back?
    4. Which version of itunes should I get and how do I get it?

  • ITunes won't recognize iPod - Extreme frustration!

    So iTunes won't recognize my new IPod Video. It works fine with my kids' shuffle, mini and 4th gen but when I connect my new iPod I just get a window with: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the ipod "IPOD". Use the IPOD Software Updater Application to restore the IPOD to factory settings"
    I've been trying since Christmas to get this thing working. I've tried the five R's, I've tried every combination of everything suggested on the Apple site, (including posts here) I've tried stuff from other apple users sites. No joy. I just got off the phone with the help rep from Apple. He talked me through the MSCONFIG stuff, no joy still. He told me to go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod and fill out the forms and they'd send me a package to put my iPod in to send them so they could fix it. It's personalized so it'll take an extra 3 weeks to fix. Needless to say, I'm very frustrated and extremely disapointed.
    Merry Christmas.

  • Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone.  I tried turning all off, and on.  I have the newest version of itunes.  Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

    I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone.  I tried turning everything off and restarting.  I have the latest version of itunes.  If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean?  Will I lose anything? How long will it take?  thanks

    Start iTunes.  Make sure you really are running the version you think you are.  Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

  • My iTunes won't recognize my new iPhone + "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" error

    I bought a new iPhone and already have an Apple ID & Password & iTune account. When I plugged my new iPhone I kept getting a "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" error messages. They keep popping out. Plus iTune won't recognize my Apple ID (I don't want a new one, since it has the payment info and all). Anyone can help?
