My iMac CD player stopped recognizing music CDs and just ejects them?
I was importing music and all of the sudden the CD player on my iMac would read the discs and spit them out without recognizing them in iTunes. I tried multiple CDs, even ones that I had previously imported. Any ideas?
Thanks for your response. I tried all different types of music CDs.
Commercial or home-made (burned)?
Another thought: iMac Superdrives are known to be extremely finicky, so have you looked at your CDs? Is there a scratch, dirt, or anything else on them?
And, how old is your Mac? Superdrives (or any other hardware components) do not last forever; they will fail at some point.
And, I'm sure you followed these steps, but just in case:

My IMac just stopped recognizing my Iphone and Itouch when I connect them? Any idea why or how to fix this?
Did You upgrade iOS on the iPhone and ITouch?
It might be that you now need a new version of iTunes for the new version of iOS.
I am guessing here because you did tell us very much to go on.

I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week. Help! Thanks.
Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.

After i Updated itunes al my ipod apps including safari and music, photos and all of them went away and i cannot do anything on it anymore please help?
- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
- If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. -

Using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes, the software will not recognize my music CDs when inserted in my DVD drive. I put a CD in the drive and nothing happens. iTunes does not have a "start" button, or some menu option to tell it to begin copying music to the library, so it just sits there. When I first installed iTunes, it would open the CDs, but I would get an error message after the first track started to transfer. Now, after a coupel uninstalls, disc cleanup, etc., nothing happens when I insert the CD. I am lost here and about to sell my new Ipod Classic because it is useless to me. Maybe I'm just too old to own something like this? Any (serious) suggestions would be appreciated.
In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first. -
HT1551 Apple TV has stopped recognizing my account and password?
Apple TV has stopped recognizing my password
The only way is to restore through iTunes. Make sure you're following the steps exactly (disconnect all cables, connect micro USB, if using a 3rd gen ATV reconnect power). Make sure to connect directly to computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub. Try a different cable. Check firewall and security software installed on the system.

My MacBook Pro will no read any of my CDs and just goes and spits it back out. Help me?
My MacBook Pro will not read my CDs and spits them right back out. Any help?
The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. For example a "combo drive" can read a DVD-R and burn a CD-R however it cannot burn a DVD-R. The utility System Profiler may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
If the discs continue to not be recognized, please contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service. -

I am trying to cleanout my iTunes Music Library. I would prefer to wipeout the music library and then reinstall my music. I do not know how to delete multiple files besides doing one by one. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You.
Dupin is for Mac. For PC users I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
