Problems when copying music from CD to i-Pod library

Does anyone have problems with transferring music from a CD to the itunes?
When i do this the CD sometimes sticks / jutters
What should i do?
SIMPLE answers please!
Thank you

Hi,
Some music, like in normal CD, is in just CD music format (I dont know what they're called), and iTunes will automatically convert into format you specify (for example, if you would like iTunes to convert it into mp3, then select mp3) some CD are in mp3 format, but this is generally by individual, not retailer CDs.

Computer crash/freeze when copying music from CD

Whilst copying music onto iTunes from a CD to later download onto my iPod, all runs fine until there is a problem with one of the tracks on the CD, (say a scratch or some of the information cannot be read by iTunes.) My computer then freezes/crashes there is nothing I can do, even Ctrl/Alt/Delete to get Windows Task Manager up will not work, so I have to switch off my machine and reboot. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem or is it a problem with the iTunes program?

Thanks, this was my first visit to Apple store so I'll try iTunes as you suggested.
Re: - ‘it might be the CD,’ no, I thought of that but it happens on all CD's I put in even brand new ones. I've solved some of the problem as instead of downloading the whole CD, I can download one track at a time and as long as I let the computer stop 'running' within the program before I download the next track all is fine, but very time consuming.

How can I keep the file/ album names when copying music from the Finder to iTunes?

Hi,
Is there a possibility to keep the file names one uses in the Finder when adding music to iTunes?
[e.g. that a Beethoven symphony still ends up under 'Beethoven/ symphony No./' and not under the name of the orchestra/ dirigent]
Thanks in advance
Kath

Yes. Go into Preferences and make sure that "Keep..." and '"Copy..." are both not checked. Then put the file(s) where you want them (preferably somewhere in your iTunes Media folder) and use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.
Try this first with a file or two so you can see that it keeps the same file name as it adds to your library.

Permissions problem when copying files from external hard drive

Hi.
I have recently reinstalled leopard (wiped the hard drive clean) on my macbook pro. (10.5.4). I had used Time Machine so I have a complete backup. But I only wanted a few of the files so I didn't do a backup restore. I went into the file directory of the backup on my external hard drive and dragged the folders I wanted back over to my laptop.
But I'm in permissions **** though! When I want to copy them over I get an alert saying you may not have privilege to do this and asks for my password. I enter my password and it copies fine. But every time I want to do anything with those files (like move them, or delete them) I have to re enter a password.
So, inside of the terminal I do a "ls -al" command to see whats going on and find that everything is the same as a natively created folder except for a '@' on the permissions column. I do a "ls -al@' to see more details and I get this:
drwxr-xr-x@ 6 xenition staff 204 Jul 20 17:08 Assets
com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineNewestSnapshot 50
com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineOldestSnapshot 50
I did run repair permissions from Disk Utility and it didn't solve it. How can I resolve the permissions on these files?

run ls -aleO on the copied files and see if there are any ACLs or flags.
BTW, another (and possibly better) way to restore files from an old TM drive is via TM interface. control-click on TM in the dock and choose "browse other TM disks" select a disk to browse and go at it. when you try to restore something you'll be prompted for a location to restore it to and maybe a password.

Problems when copying item from a page to another one

I am copying a value of an item, from a page to another one in branch, and it cuts the value to me in ' : '
ej: item a = 08:00 Hs
item b = 08
thanks
Juan Pablo

I had to deal with the same thing and I know at least two solutions - one is "dirty" and the other one is a "clean":
1. dirty - replace ':' (colon) with ';' (semicolon) and pass that value using URL. On the page, where your item(s) is, create a computation using REPLACE(P1_ITEM, ';', ':') on load and before header.
2. clean - as Scott says and it works in many cases - pass only a primary key and a request to your target page and create there a procedure to fetch the values you need and populate the items
If you use the documentation and search on keywords "COMPUTATION" and "REQUEST", you will find a lot of usefull information.

Problems during copying music files from iTunes 10.6.1 to iPhone

1st problem
In new iTunes 10.6.1 on my MBP when copying music on iPhone if during copying add additional musical files in queue, copying of files from the previous queue stops. In the previous iTunes version of such problem didn't arise. Whether there is a solution of this problem?
2nd problem
In older version of iTunes i could adding new music files to my iphone with drag and drop from Finder. Now i must add files in iTunes library and then from library drag and drop files to iphone. How to solve this problem?

You would have to purchase 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and install it, assuming your computer is compatible.

How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

File access privilege problem when copying from 9.2.2 to 10.5.6

Hello,
I have two Macs (one running MacOS 9.2.2, the other running 10.5.6) connected with an ethernet crossover cable. FileSharing over TCP/IP is enabled on both machines. When copying files from the 9.2.2 machine to the OS X one (initiated from the OS X side), after some files have been copied, I get an (OS X) error message to the effect of "insufficient file privileges for file "AppleShare PDS"", followed by a message "insufficient privileges for "Macintosh HD"" ("Macintosh HD" is the volume's name the data is copied from), after which copying terminates.
The FileSharing connection to the 9.2.2 machine is established using the only user on that machine, who has read/write rights on the entire source volume.
Both volumes have been checked with the respective OS's disk utilities and reported OK.
Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi, chap -
You might try restarting, then immediately hold the mouse button down, keep it held down until booting has finished. That's a hardware-based command to the Mac to eject all removable media.
You can download any needed firmware update for your iMac from these Apple Kbase articles -
Article #58174 - iMac: When to Install Available Updaters
Article #86117 - Firmware Updates
As eww suggests, reposting to the iMac CRT forum may be of benefit; there are sometimes model-specific peculiarities when it comes to migrating from OS 9 to OSX.

Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function. Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

Copying music from ipod

Hi
Is it possible to copy music from your ipod? Using the ipod as a backup to your computer.
Thanks

Apple doesn't support the transferring of music from your iPod to your iTunes. Only iTunes to iPod. So to do this you will need to download a third party program that will help copy your music from your iPod back to your computer, or there are a couple manual methods you can check out.

If your iPod is set to automatically update and you plug it into iTunes, a message will pop up telling you that your iPod is linked to another library. It will ask if you want to sync and replace all your music. Make sure you hit NO. If you sync with an empty library, then your iPod will also end up empty, because when it syncs it makes an exact copy of your library.
I used a third party program and had no problems, it saved me a major headache, hope you find something that works for ya. goodluck

Inability to copy music from iTunes library to 4S

I'm having trouble copying music from my iTunes library (Windows PC running Vista).
It copies three or four albums without any problems and the stops on the third or fourth track on the next album and returns an error message (iTunes cannot copy..... unknown error (-69)).
When this happens, iTunes then slows the whole machine down - Internet Explorer stops responding, as does Windows Explorer, as well as most other programs It's really frustrating.
I don't know whether updating the OS to Windows 7 will remedy it, but it's an option. I have the most up to date iTunes, Vista and iOS versions, so I'm stumped. I might take the iPhone to a local reseller and see what they can suggest, but I thought I'd ask you guys first.

How can I copy music from iTunes to a 2nd iPhone 5?

I have my own iPhone 5 that i have synced and set up with my itunes on my macbook pro. My wife recently got an iphone 5 (thru her work) that i want to copy music from my itunes library to her phone. We share the same itunes acct and she is able to make purchases with it and download songs that i have purchased via itunes to her phone. I would like to manage and copy over addiontal music (most of which i had bought on my own and imported into itunes) and copy playlists etc to her phone.
She has not synced her phone to my (or any) computer. When i hook up her iphone to my macbook and open itunes, it prompts me to "set up new iphone" either as a brand new phone or from a backup. can i get around this, so i can manage the music on her iphone without deleting and "setting up from scratch her phone"? I have read that i can manually manage everything on her phone separately from my phone... so her apps aren't on my phone and vice versa? I really just want to put my music on there.
I have heard of some other apps (ie songbird) but prefer to keep everything working under itunes.
Thanks

Not brand new... New to that Mac's iTunes. For registration if you will...
Setup the iPhone as a new device to get past the initial part. iTunes will know that the device is already set up and you can go from there.

Is there a way of copying music from the ipod

my pc got wiped so i need a way of copying music from my ipod to itunes is there a way?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.
