Not all songs will import from CDs

When importing CDs certain songs won't import, the computer will say that the file name is too long or invalid, and usually the song has a longer title, but they may be a coincidence. I'm worried that if I get new cds I won't be able to import all the songs, but I just got the new Norah Jones cd and was able to import all of her songs. I am wondering if it depends on how old the cd is, since the on I tried importing today was a Linda Ronstadt cd, not exactly recent. But my Prince Caspian soundtrack won't import all the songs either, so this can't be the case. I would love to solve this problem and appreciate all who will answer this!
P.S. I tried changing the name but once imported the song will not play

I'm having this issue also. I don't have the 5 but I upgraded my 4 to the new iOS6 and updated to the new version of itunes as well, now I cannot copy any music from my computer to my phone, it just stays grayed out and doesn't actually copy.

  • Not all files will import from NAS Synology Server to PC running LR 5.3

    We recently moved our photos to a new Synolgy NAS server. I have a Lenovo all in one and installed the latest version of LightRoom 5.3. When I import my photos, not all of them get imported, only a fraction of them. I can see all the photos on the server via the run command but after I import not all the photos get transferred over. Does anyone else have this issue? What would cause this bottle neck?

    Well, well what do you know.. it just came up..
    I moved all files from the LR folder except the catalog, rebooted and it came up...
    I guess the next thing to do is to get the previews back.
    Hope this is a good sign...

  • Not all songs will import.

    I've tried drag and drop and importing and all that...but for some reason, some albums just won't appear.  I get no error message or anything, they just aren't there.  I can click on the songs and they'll play in itunes, but they import.  I have one album that imported 2 songs.  The other 10 just don't import.  What am I missing here?  And yes, they are the proper file types.

    First look at the CD and see if its protected.
    Secondly goto the PC makers site (If the CD Burner came witht he PC when you bought it) and look for updates for your model, like Firmware updates for the CD ROM and BIOs/chipset updates for the system.

  • Songs Previously Imported from CDs No Longer Available

    It seems like after every iTunes software update some or all of the songs I imported from CDs are no longer accessible from my library (the exclamation point). This is an incredible hassle to reload these tracks. Help please.
    Thanks.

    Upgrading iTunes does not cause media to disappear from the computer.
    The message is telling you that the media is not where iTunes expects it to be.  Either the user or some software on the computer moved (or deleted) the media.  No one here can tell you where that media is.  Find it on your computer or rip the CDs again.

  • Songs I imported from cds are no longer in my iTunes account.  How can I get them back without having to reload them on?

    There are 158 songs that were once in my iTunes that are now missing.  I put all of them on from cds.  The only songs that are left are ones that i have purchased.  When i pulg my ipod into my computer to add recent songs that i have bought it tells me that i need to erase and sync my ipod with my itunes library or cancel.  Well i dont want to erase my ipod and sync it with my itunes because that is 158 less songs that would be on there.  On the apple website it said that songs from cds are in the itunes media folder but when i went there it is still just my purchased songs.  I dont know what to do except reload all of them back on there but i really dont want to since im not the one who took them off!!  Im not entirely sure when the songs went away but i recently updated to itunes 10.4 (i think its .4) and im not sure if that is why they are gone. Thank you in advance to any help!!

  • Not all executables will start from spawned batch (Is this a WinNT bug?).

    I'm building a tool wherewith I can spawn a make process from my Visual Age for Java IDE.
    This I have working now. However not all executables seem to get started from the batch.
    Here are some of the from within the batch file started examples that work and won't work:
    echo MakeBridge V1.00
    echo Ensure that
    echo %1%2
    echo is a (sub) directory of
    echo %JAVA_DEV_ROOT%
    REM Usage: makeBridge <drive_letter> <working_directory> <make_command>
    REM Change drive
    %1 WORKS
    REM Change directory
    chdir %2 WORKS
    REM Execute make command
    echo ####%3#### WORKS
    clearmake -C gnu %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 WON'T WORK
    echo path=%PATH% WORKS
    pwd WORKS
    dir WORKS
    java -version WON'T WORK
    rem C:\APPL\_off97uk.32\Office\EXCEL.EXE WORKS
    echo Marcel Zeeuw WORKS
    The actual coding for the spawning is below:
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(batch);
    // Pick up output stream from spawned process
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
    System.out.println(line);
    br.close();
    System.out.println(p.exitValue());
    Help would be appreciated
    Kind regards,
    Marcel Zeeuw.

    Explicit naming of a path in front of a non-starting application doesn't help - as expected.
    My conclusion is, that a process that is spawned by an application inherit some sort of limiting environment space. THis is because when I start my not working batch file from a command prompt, the batch file works as expected.
    I have no solution for this problem for now...

  • Gracenote CDDB service not submitting correct names for songs when importing from CDs

    Gracenote CDDB service not submitting correct names for songs from purchased CDs

    You are looking at the 1st Gen Nano manual.
    You need to look at the 2nd Gen Nano manual here -> iPod Nano Features Guide
    Not much difference but that page 16 shows iTunes 6. You have iTunes 7.
    You have to first select the CD.
    The Import button is now at the bottom right.
    Insert the CD and select it in iTunes and the Browse icon (eye) at the bottom right will change to Import.
    Go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced and tick "Automatically get CD track names from Internet".

  • Not all videos will import into iphoto...

    hi,
    i cannot get all my videos to import into iphoto 09. the process stops with an error "there was an error importing Photo".
    what is causing this and is there a workaround?
    please advise.
    thank you.

    hi,
    ty, i will give your suggestion a try.
    also, i solved the problem by resetting the phone. hold down the sleep-switch and home button together for 10sec and then when you get the quit screen keep holding down the two buttons together.
    this also solved the problem..

  • Not all calendars to import from iCal

    Hi! I hope someone can help me.
    I'm trying to import a calendar from iCal to iPhoto but there are only 2 calendars listed in the iPhoto list (and I have 6 in iCal). To make it easier to understand, I took two pics of my screen:
    This is the calendars available to import in iPhoto: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/565/screenshot20100110at133.png
    This is the calendars that I have in iCal: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/565/screenshot20100110at133.png
    I want to import the blue "Birthday" calendar under Delegates.
    How can I do this?
    Thank you.

    First move the iCal preference file, com.apple.iCal.plist, and the iPhoto preference file, iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that reside in your User/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop. Launch iCal and reset the preferences. Next launch iPhoto and do the same. Go to the calendar, enter the Settings pane and see if the Delegated/Subscribed calendars are visible.

  • IPhone won't play music imported from CDs or mp3s not downloaded from itunes

    When I first downloaded iOS 7, all of the music I had in my iTunes synched to my iPhone, but now new CDs I just imported and previous songs I imported from CDs won't synch (I've tried over wifi and usb).  When I click on songs on my phone that were from CDs, they look as if they are going to play and then skip immediately.  Mp3s I downloaded do the same thing.  Mind you, everything was working fine until updating to iOS 7.0.4.  I've been looking around the forums and have found that problems like this are relatively common and it's a shame Apple hasn't done anything to fix it.
    When my phone is hooked up and I click on "on this iPhone", it says the music from CDs and mp3s is on, but the titles come up gray with these litte circle things next to them
    Just checking now, I noticed some songs I bought from iTunes are doing the same thing.
    I tried manually synching, but when I click to drag the songs into my phone, the section that has music, movies, etc. just flashes and nothing happens.  I know something is wrong because I just put a ringtone onto my phone the same way.
    Oh, I also noticed that when my iPhone is synching and the steps go through at the top it skips steps 3, 4, and sometimes 5 (The Apple symbol pops up instead then goes straight to 6 and 7) so I know it's not recognizing the fact I put a bunch of new music in iTunes. Also, when I look at the bar at the bottom that shows how much memory is on my phone, this shows up:
    and that Documents and Data thing was not there before.
    Can someone please give me ideas on how I can stop this rediculousness without buying a new phone?

    I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library.  Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

    You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
    iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

  • Almost all the songs I copied from CDs say can not find file when I try to sync them or add to Playlists

    Almost every song I copied from CDs to my iPod now have ! next to them and say File not found. Am I going to have to re download them?

    Am I going to have to re download them?
    Maybe. However, they may still be on your PC's hard drive somewhere. Try searching for these files and then adding them back to iTunes.  See this article for more information and assistance.

  • My PC Windows 7 harddrive crashed.  I have a new harddrive.  But i lost all my CD's that i had burned onto iTunes.  They are all still on my iPhone 4s, but when i sync, only the purchased songs will import.  Is there anyway to retrieve them

    Restore your library from your most recent backup (you do keep regular backups, I hope).  If the hard drive is in any way salvageable it may be possible to mount it in an external enclosure, connect it to your PC, and retrieve data from it even if it is not functioning as a primary OS drive (if you don't have the kit necessary to do this, your local PC repair shop may be able to help).  Failing that, you can always recreate your library by re-importing your CDs.

  • Tracks imported from CDs prior to 11/08 not playing correctly

    95% of the tracks I imported from CDs prior to November of 2008 will not play back correctly in I-tunes or on my Ipod. Tracks that have been imported since then are fine.
    If I go directly to the MP3 file on my hard drive and play it through Windows Media Player it plays fine.
    Import settings are MP3 High Quality 160 kbps.
    If I delete the track in I-tunes and re-import it from the MP3 file on the hard drive it still doesn't play correctly or won't import it at all.
    If I delete the track and corresponding file on the hard drive and then re-import the track through I-tunes it is OK.
    Is there anyway to "repair" the old transfered files or am I looking at wasting 20 hours of my life deleting and re-importing all of these tracks?
