NO CD ICON ON DESKTOP OR IN ITUNES WINDOW

Hi,
I wish to transfer the music from a PC burnt home music cd, a TDK CD-R80 700MB up to 52 speed disc.
However, after perhaps 20 cd loadings, the icon does not appear on the desktop or in the itunes window.
Quite a few times as well, the mac does not eject the cd and a whirling noise often sounds coming from inside the mac.
Any thoughts please? Thx George UK

Ah, the old 'cd not recognised in the drive' problem. I get this often. Not sure if it is duff media, or an OS X bug.
I find that waiting for it to ask you to put the disk before you do so helps. Also another disc sometimes works too.
If it gets stuck in the drive restart and hold the mouse button in to eject. Or keep hitting the eject key as the computer restarts, that works too.

  • Red Nano icons on desktop and in iTunes 7

    I got a product Red 8GB nano for christmas and notice that when I plug it into my mac the icons OS X is using for it are not what I'd expect. For instance, on the desktop instead of the icon being an ipod its the same icon OS X uses for a disk image (such as a dmg).
    Further, in iTunes 7 it shows its icon as a shopping cart! What is up with that? Are these too new for proper icons? My gen 1 nano had proper icons. Also this ipod is having that error code -48 error. Does that error cause this icon issue as well?
    My question is: Are the icons supposed to be like that? If so, why. If not, what's the issue and can I remedy it?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have turned the enable option on and off during my attempts to get it to not give me the -48 error code when starting itunes.
    When I plug mine in, on the desktop and in finder it appears as an image instead of an ipod. I could see it using an external disk icon, however it's not. And in iTunes it shows the iPod as a shopping cart! I've restored it at least 3 times and the software says that it's up to date.
    Anyhow, I figured the icons should be showing up. Since yours seems to be working properly, may I ask if you're having this error code -48 issue? I wonder if they have anything in common.

  • Cannot move icons on desktop, or in finder windows

    My mother in law creates unusual technical problems and then I go over to try to fix them. It's a fascinating part of our relationship.
    This one stumped me. I click and drag on an icon (file or folder; doesn't matter). It highlights, but doesn't move. The mouse seems to behave in other applications-- though now that I think about it, I didn't personally test that and she might not drag much in Word.
    Things that didn't help: restarting, repairing permissions, trashing .plists for finder and desktop.
    Suggestions appreciated.
    TIA

    Hi Tom!
    t sounds like a Permissions problem.
    Are you logged in to the Admin account?
    Have you run Repair Permissions?
    Yep, as noted above, I have run Repair Permissions.
    What happens when you try to drag?
    Icon highlights, but doesn't move. The cursor simply moves away from the icon.
    How are the Ownership & Permissions set for
    the Desktop, the Admin Home folder, and
    the Hard Drive, in Get Info?
    I didn't check those. Presumably, Repair permissions would have set them to the correct value, right?

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

  • Make iTunes window behave as other windows!

    I've installed the Virtual Desktop Manager powertoy from Microsoft for Windows XP. I can use win-1/4 to change between four different desktops. Everything works just fine except that iTunes sticks it's ugly window INTO EVERY SINGLE DESKTOP. What makes it even more fun, it usually sticks the window as the frontmost window on every desktop, and my iTunes window takes up 90% of my screen space, so you can guess how much work I get done. None whatsoever.
    Sure, I can minimize the window, the maximize it again when I need it, and keep flipping it back and forth, but why would I go through all that extra trouble when I can just as well use some other music player that actually behaves nicely in my system? I have tried several of them, and they all work the way they are supposed to, only iTunes does what it wants.
    So, when can we expect a properly coded version of iTunes? I assume my problems with iTunes screen updating and fonts getting screwed up are related. Remember, that your software is not the only software running on the computer. If it won't do what it needs to, it will not run on my computer for long.

    >I find Audition great
    Yes it is!
    >1.Is there a way to make a track shrink or enlarge with the mouse scroll as in edit. I find it really annoying when all it does in the multitrack is scroll up and down between the tracks.
    You are scrolling in the window you need to place your mouse over the vertical bar on the far right of the screen and then scroll
    >2.I can't seem to click on a track in the multi track and get it to play from there. I have to drag the play marker to that point
    Right mouse click on transport control (play button) and select play from cursor to end of file.

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • I downloaded the lates version of iTunes. Now, every icon on my desktop now is the iTunes icon and will only launch iTunes. The same is true with almost everything in "All Programs" from my start menu. Uninstalling brought desktop back to normal.

    After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, it changed all desktop icons to the iTunes icon and will only launch iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same problem occured. Help.

    Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

  • Can't get rid of itunes icon on desktop

    Already have iTunes showing on dock on bottom of display and now have iTunes icon on desktop display as well. Tried dragging it into trash but then I can't open iTunes from the dock without dragging desktop icon out of trash to and back to the desktop. Tried dragging desktop icon onto dock and into already existing iTunes icon already on the dock. Nothing i've tried seems to work. How to I get rid of this desktop icon?

    Hi bkbl?
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
    If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.

  • Mini does not appear on desktop or in Itunes

    This problem happened suddenly. I plug in my mini, as usual, and no icon appears either on the desktop or in Itunes. I have tried four of the five Rs (can't restore without mini showing up in itunes), and have searched the discussions for some solution, but found none. I have a new USB connector that will charge my mini when connected to the computer, and have tried resetting countless times. My Itunes and system software are current. Still, my Mac and Itunes cannot see my ipod. Can anybody suggest something that might work?

    Hmmm....very odd. Are you sure your computer even recognizes that your mini is connected through the USB? You can check by going into System Profiler and clicking on the Devices tab. This will show you how the computer sees what's connected to its various ports.
    Though my ipod didn't appear on either my desktop or in iTunes, it did show up in the Devices tab as being connected to my USB port.
    Also, depending on which ipod updater i clicked on, I got a different message. The earliest one I had was dated 3-23-05 and when i double clicked that one, it said that my ipod was connected but not mounted on the desktop. It still let me restore. If you have more than one ipod updater file, perhaps you can try different ones?
    The only other thing i can think of is the fact that you're using a new USB connection. Maybe there's something wonky there (try a different USB port or another cable).
    Hope that helps.

  • I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

    I have a desktop pc with itunes. I just purchased a Mac Air book.  Can I sync my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, to both computers. Or do I have to pick one? I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC?  Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

    To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services.  Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services.  You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used).  You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

    After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one,  When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine.  How do I correct this.

    Hello Lakesidetom,
    It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

  • In the middle of updating my iphone 4, a icon popped up saying that itunes had detected an iphone in recovery mode and i needed to restore it. my iphone screen is a picture of a usb cord with an arrow pointing to an itunes symbol. what do i do?

    i started to update my iphone 4, and in the middle of the update, an icon popped up saying that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be sued with iTunes."
    I really cannot lose the data on my phone. i foolishly did not back up everything ecause there was a previous problem i had with icloud and i needed to delete all of my icloud accounts accept for my contacts.
    WHat would i lose if i restored it? and do i need to restore it?
    is there another way? if there is, i definetely do not need the update. someone please help me.

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".
