No import from audio cd

itunes - latest version 7.1.1 - freezes on import of audio files from cd, does not matter whether original new cd's or self burned. have to exit with force quit,
when I then try to copy an audio file from the cd via drag-and-drop to the computer, I receive an error message, error -36, telling me that there is aproblem in reading the file.
deleted all itunes preferences in the library folder, did not change anything
then repaired permissions on the volume, great, could import one cd, on the second itunes freezes again.
needed to repair permissions again, great, can import another cd
so now I have to repair permissions every time I want to import audio files
I have no problems importing mp3 files
anybody here, who knows how to fix this annoying problem?

does itunes make use of other programs in reading
cd's, would it make sense to delete preferences of
such progs?
It doesn't look like that's the case. It appears to all be handled by threads inside iTunes. So I don't think you'd be able to find the preferences to delete.
one more thing, the problem of not being able to copy
audiofiles from cd to hd only occurs when I have
tried to import the cd into itunes, fresh inserted cd
will allow to copy audio files, but once I have tried
itunes, it is no longer possible, so obviously itunes
screws up something.
My guess, and it's just a guess, is that there's a bug in the CD/DVD drive on those machines, or a bug in the driver for that hardware and iTunes causes the problem to show up. If you know someone with an external USB or Firewire drive, you might try borrowing it and see if it works.
You could also try this software:
http://www.sbooth.org/Max/
and see if it behaves any differently. Maybe it accesses the audio in a different way.
I have no idea why it was fine with the old HD, but it doesn't work with the new one. Perhaps it's a question of how some part of the OS gets loaded into RAM because the 120GB drive needs more RAM or something. But that's just another wild guess.

  • Importing from audio cassette.

    I guess I put the cart before the horse. I asked Apple Care if I could import from audio cassette to my iMac G5 from a boombox. They suggesting posting question in Apple Discussions under Soundtrack/Soundtrack Pro. I now have the information as to what application (Toast 7) I need to accomplish this, but I guess my 1st question should have been whether I can accomplish with the hardware I have. I have a little Sony boombox (plays audio cassettes, CDs, and radio) and only has an earphone jack. I have a connector that I hoped could be used to connect and transmit to my G5. It's a digital stereo mini hook-up extension cable. The package says it's a stereo plug to stereo plug, "The solution for high quality signal transfer". Will this work? If not what do I need? Thanks for any help.

    Recently I bought Bias SoundSoap for this purpose but haven't tried it out yet.
    To: ThomasG: I am also interested in your results.
    Barbara, I have purchased the Griffin and when it comes I will import with that to see if I get cleaner results. (I don't know what a preamp is...as I said I'm really a novice and am trying to learn.) When I import using Griffin do I connect to imic or USB? Perhaps by the time I am able to import the file using Griffin, ThomasG will have some input for us re Bias SoundSoap.
    Is the cost for Bias SoundSoap comparable to Toast 7? I've found T7 for $80 through Google. I still don't know where to put my $ for application for my project. Sound Studio 2.2.4 is inexpensive and their support people said that v. 3 for $80 wouldn't give me better capabilities for what I'm trying to accomplish, just more bells & whistles for those who know how to use them.

  • Import From Audio DVD ?

    I bought a audion DVD a few years ago that was some new kind of high quality DVD audio. It's Tommy by The Who and contains all the songs supposedly in a higher quality. I want to import this into iTunes but I can't. The DVD has a AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files. Can I use a generic DVD copy program to extract this type of DVD audio into iTunes ?
    I tried OSEx without any luck. I also tried HandBrake which read everything off the Audio DVD into a single MP4 file. What I need is all 42 song in individual audio files so I can get them into iTunes.

    Since my last anwer I've used OsEx a 'free' /Open Source program, I believe.
    It works beautifully - will grab songs from A/V DVDs at Title/Chapter/even angle level very easily
    I then use MPegStreamclip to convert the AC3 to AIFF or other useful format which it does very, very quickly on my Intel 20 IMac From there I usually go to iTunes.
    Best of luck (and, of course I can't guarantee that this'll work with 'Tommy' but if this plays in a 'normal DVD player it must conform to the DVD Spec and therefore you shave to be able to work with it).
    MPegStreamclip also makes it very easy* to 'Break up monolithic 200MB-600MB DVD/AC3 and other files into individual songs...
    Best of luck.

  • Importing from Audio Hijack - hissing

    I am importing some old cassettes to iTUNES.
    I'm using a walkman and a cable to connect to the audio input of my MacBook Pro.
    There is a hissing sound. I've moved the walkman away from MBP -- MBP is on desk and WM is on the floor.
    Is there anything else I can do to minimize or eliminate the hiss?
    thanks.

    The hissing sound may be already present on the tapes, due to their age.
    The audio amplifiers of WMs are not really that good, so you might never have heard it before.
    As the converting from analog to digital is done inside the MBP, it can pick up all kind of RF, produced by the computer, which can cause the hissing. Also a poor shielded cable can pick up RF.
    In my experience it is best to digitize outside the computer and use well shielded cable.
    I use the iMic to convert my old LPs and cassettes.
    It does a reasonable good job on digitizing and comes with an application that enables you to set some filters.
    You might try to eliminate the hissing of already digitized files by using an audio editor like Audacity.
    The 1.3.x version also supports Apple AudioUnits, which enable many filtering possibilities.
    Hope this helps.

  • Trouble with audio files when imported from audio window

    after "bouncing" and audio region and importing it (onto a new track) into the arrange window from the audio window, I can't seem to control any parameters like volume and pan for the imported clip. Is this somehow locked?

    sure....say I record a clip in track one with a bunch of plugins....export the clip to the audio region...then import back to the arrange...
    First of all it won't let me play the clip in Track 2, but if I shift the clip to track 3 it'll play....BUT I can't control the volume or pan .....very strange. I hate freezing stuff...although I have been for ages....but if this works it'll be cool....
    Thanks...

  • Cannot import from audio cd

    I am trying to import a purchased audio cd to ITunes and ITunes is not even recognizing the cd.  I have no import screen or any sign that ITunes can import the cd.  I have tried all the solutions on the support page and nothing helps. I've updated ITunes, etc.   Is there anything else I can do?  Please help.  Thanks.

    Apparently it's a deliberate policy decision on the part of Microsoft, and possibly one forced onto them by the RIAA. If you can get hold of a suitable policy editor for XP, then you can alter it. The instructions for fixing it with gpedit apparently go like this (although I've never tried it, I must admit)
    Run gpedit.msc (via Start menu, Run..)
    Select the following: Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
    Enable the option 'Devices: Restrict CD-Rom access to locally logged-on user only.'
    That's all I know. If all else fails, download something like Windows XP Security Console, and try doing it with that.

  • Itunes appears corrupt when importing from Audio CD

    Can you help or advise with my problem
    My I-tunes was working fine until yesterday. Everytime I try and Import a cd I keep getting Itunes.exe exception floating point invalid operation.
    0xC0000090 at location 0X02dac3c5.
    And then it sends an error log and closes out.
    Any ideas either post here or email at [email protected]

    Thanks for the reply, I have seen this document and it doesn't appear to be realted to my situation.
    To further explain. Upon loading I-Tunes, I was able to load over 200 songs, off-load to the IPOD and load additional songs.
    Then two days ago, when opening I-Tunes, then putting the CD in and clicking Import, I get the failure I described.
    It reads the CD becasue it'll load and play it in I-Tunes, but the minute I click import, regardless of 1 song or the entire album, I get the same failure.
    Since I've loaded I-Tunes, the first thing I always get is specified path, drive, or ? doesn't exist, but I click OK and I-Tunes was opening and working fine. I figured that was just a flaw in windows??

  • I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

    I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine.  Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
    I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

    I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

  • Out of sync audio importing from HandyCam

    I am importing video, and for some reason the track is not in sync.
    I am new to Premiere again (haven't used in it in almost 15 years) and can't seem to find a way to delay the audio back to where it belongs.
    to be honest, i am feeling like this is the least intuitive program i have used by adobe ever.  I hope there is something simple i am missing. cause otherwise i am feeling rather 'new'...
    Any help is appreciated.
    PS.
    i'm using this on an iMac (1.5 GB RAM) cause i can't use it on my Quad G5 (8GB RAM)seeing as though there is no support for 2 year old hardware.

    When you say importing, from what camera, what format and how? Importing suggests from a non-tape based camera, or did you mean capturing from a tape based camera?
    PP implies a pro oriented application, not an intuitive consumer oriented application like Elements. What is your feeling about After Effects? Is that intuitive?

  • Best way to import from iTunes & audio lock to video?

    I just started with PrE 10 and am coming from years with iMovie HD6 (never liked the later versions). Can audio tracks be dragged from iTunes (by having 2 minimal sized windows of each application open) into the Project area? Or do you need to try and find each song by going through the whole Get Media  File/Folder link process? I've tried dragging a few songs from iTunes, and it didn't seem to work (it was very easy in iMovie). I was able to add photos to the Project area from iPhoto by dragging them over from the iPhoto window.
    Also, is there a way to lock (or link) the beginning of an added audio/soundtrack clip to a video clip, so that it does not inadvertently get moved, or so that if you move the video clip, or delete an earlier video clip, the locked audio goes with that video clip?
    [Moved to the Premiere Elements main forum]

    With Audio, you need to Import the file (Get Media), as Premiere needs to Conform the Audio, creating both a CFA (Conformed Audio) file, and a PEK (Waveform Display) file, and link to those.
    Now, with iTunes, there can be some problems, though things have gotten a bit better recently. If you DO have an issue, you can create a Playlist in iTunes, and copy over all the files that you need for your Project, then burn a CD of that Playlist. The Audio-CD will be in the CDA container in as a WAV file, which should Import just fine, into PrE.
    Actually, it might be easier, even if the iTunes music does Import, to create a Playlist in iTunes, where you can drag and drop right from the iTunes GUI, and then Import from that Playlist.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    A small update to this issue....
    I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
    And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
    Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
    Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?

  • HT3775 How do I obtain audio on mpg files imported from my camcorder to iMovie'11 version 9.0.6?

    I've previously been able to import from my Sony camcorder with no audio issues (as recently as June), but for some reason my last import is mute. Playing from the camera the audio is clear but when imported into iMovie all the footage is there, just no audio.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hey Yvo1.
    You'll get a better response to your question if you go to the iMovie Discussions. Most people who come here don't work with iMovie all that much.
    Good luck.

  • Is there any way to Import From Camera (dv) in a way that Final Cut Pro can later import everything, including the audio

    I know iMovie dv to Final Cut Pro has no audio.  At least with my old events.  But is there any way I can make it so future dv files Imported From Camera in iMove 2011 will later work in FCP?

    Hi
    Yes and No
    And it depend's on what quality You want and how much problem You stand in FC - and what version of FinalCut You mean.
    • FinalCut Pro-X - I have no clue at all
    • FinalCut Express and Pro (till 6.0.6) - I'm very familiar to.
    • If You take out the Imported/Captured material from Event's - it seems to be 100% OK - but in wrong codec so it will work in FinalCut BUT with a lot of RENDERINGS - every slight change = Need of RENDERING. To much for me.
    • If You aim to do some Editing in iMovie them move over to FinalCut = Moving from Event's to Project's result in that every second line in the picture is discarded ( and can not be repaired ) so the project will lose a lot of quality - whatever way You use to Export/Move it over to FinalCut.
    So at least I'm better of by Capture in FinalCut from Start as I can keep 100% quality till Movie is done.

  • CS4-Trying to import .mxf from P2 card. Video import works; audio shuts the program down!

    Hi guys!
    I hope you can help us. My IT guy and I have been working on this for about a week now. Whenever I imported the .mxf video and audio files in CS3 for Windows, I had no issues. We upgraded to CS4 about a week or so ago, and since then, I can't get Premiere Pro to work properly. When I import the .mxf files now, the video files will show up in the media browser and will import. But with no audio. If I attempt to bring the two in separately, the video will import fine, but when I import the audio files, the system shuts down. I don't have the error message in front me at the moment. I'll try to add that to the thread tomorrow.
    We've looked at the files in the P2 viewer, and they have audio there. They also have audio under my IT guy's server profile, and they import fine. We've checked sound cards, playback settings, tried converters, etc. Even the .avi files I bring in don't have audio anymore. They do when viewed in a different player but not in PPro.
    Could it have something to do with the fact that my software is being pulled from the server and his is installed directly to his hard drive?
    I've got to get this solved pretty quickly. My work is starting to pile up, and the busy season is here! (Happy Holidays, everyone!)

    Here is the error message I keep getting: [..\..\Src\FileCache\FileCache.cpp-910]
    I tried the .wav file; still no audio. And I do have version 4.2.1. I'll see if I can convince them of the network issue. Not sure they'll go for that, but it's about the only thing we have yet to try.
    Thanks for your responses!
