Progess stops when importing tracks from audio CD

what is the best thing to do when progress simply stops at a certain track (say in the middle of an album) when I am importing an audio CD into iTunes? i realize that the CD could be scratched, but do I force stop, or is there a way to simply skip that particular track?

hey, i just asked this same question again. maybe we can both get an answer! or if you got an answer off line, perhaps you could send it to me. as i type, track 12 of 13 is not importing.

When importing tracks from a CD to iTunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported or shown on the list. How can I import the missing three?

When importing tracks from a CD to ITunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported. How can I display and import the missing three? Thanks.

It depends on eaxactly what is wrong with the old laptop. If you're lucky the drive can be extracted and connected to a new computer to extract the data. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Error When Importing tracks from a CD

Hi,
Using the latest version of iTunes (5.01), whenever I try to import tracks from a CD into my library, I get a popup from the OS that says:
"Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied"
The popup has the word "Desktop" in the upper left portion of the frame.
The tracks import just fine, so this appears to be nothing more than an annoyance, but I'd still like to understand what is causing this problem. Has anyone else seen this popup and been able to address its cause(s)?
I had not seen this problem until I upgraded to iTunes 5.0.
Thanks,
Robert

Desktop error when importing tracks from a CD

Hi all,
using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.1.3), whenever I try to import tracks from a CD into my library, I get a popup from the OS that says:
"Desktop: Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied."
The tracks import just fine, so this appears to be nothing more than an annoyance, but I'd still like to understand what is causing this problem.
The same problem was already pointed out in a thread now archived by Robert Ruderman, but no solution was given.
Thanks in advance,

ITunes asking for apple ID when importing tracks from Windows Media Player

I have a friend who is a new radio DJ. I have convinced her that iTunes would be better to play her tracks from than WMP. What has happened is that iTunes has imported all of her tracks and albums from WMP but it is asking for her Apple ID for every track she tries to play.
Most of these tracks were imported into WMP from CD so why is iTunes asking for the Apple ID? How do I resolve this for her?

Are these songs MP3's or WMA files? What is the source of those songs? Did you rip from CDs into Windows Media Player? If you did then they shouldn't be protected files. iTunes will now have to convert them to an iTunes compatible file (MP3/AAC)
I only use MP3.

Importing tracks from non-I Tune libraries into I Tunes

I am a recent convert to the world of Ipod, having previously used other mp3 players like Zen Creative and an old Panasonic that operated off Real Player & Real Jukebox software. I would now like to import my old music collection into I-Tunes, but am having major difficulties:
Firstly, whereas Creative Media Organiser allowed me to import tracks from my Shared folder (C:\Program Files\My Shared Folder)in Mp3 or AAC or WMA, I-Tunes will not let me do this. When I open up the Shared folder in I-Tunes it doesn't provide any music file formats in the file format tab - only has .txt and xml which don't bring up the music files that are in there.
Secondly, I-Tunes won't let me 'drag & drop' tracks from my Creative Media library directly into I-tunes.
Thirdly, it doesn't interact with the Real Jukebox software, so I can't access the files stored in there either.
Help! Any Suggestions?

Hi Tracy,
Some of what you have been told is fine, but there is still some confusion going on.
First, when you try to open a file with iTunes, the reason you only see .txt and xml is because the open command is not the one to import music. It's for opening playlists (.txt and xml). To bring in music you want to use the Add to Library command. An easier way is to find the files on your computer, drag them to the iTunes library window,and drop them there. This will import all formats that iTunes can play.
For those files that are in some strange format that iTunes won't play (such as ATRAC or protected WMA) then the other poster is correct, you'll have to burn and Audio CD and re-rip it, but all the other formats will do the drag and drop thing just fine.

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.

Where is button to import tracks from CD?

I have put CD into drive and nothing came up and I couldn't find the button that is supposed to import tracks from a CD either. Can someone help please?

When you insert a CD there should be an icon for it in the sources list.
If you don't see that then see HT203242: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install (Formerly TS2308)

Thanks.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist, though for compilations you should also set the part of a compilation flag to yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Can't import tracks from an older version of iTunes

Since my rMBP has no optical drive I've found a practical use for my old G3 iMac which is for ripping CDs.
The G3 of course is only running iTunes 7.6 (the newest version available for G3 Macs) whereas my MBP is running the latest version.
I've shared the iTunes Library on the G3 and can access it on my MBP, and can even play tracks, but there is no Import button at the bottom of the window so I can't import the ripped tracks into my MBP iTunes. This works fine if I use my wife's MBP (my old one) which is also running the latest version of iTunes.
Have I missed a setting on the G3, or is this a limitation due to the big difference in iTunes versions?
I'm ripping to Apple Lossless if that matters.

How did you share this library? If you're talking about what iTunes has, there is a difference between Home Sharing which is a feature of newer iTunes and enable copying fo files, and plain music sharing which older iTunes had but only allowed music to be played.
Ah, thanks, that will be it.
Guess that means I can't use my G3 for doing this. Oh well, not to worry.
Limnos wrote:
You say, "This works fine," but "this" is vague. Do you mean Home Sharing from your wife's Mac to yours? If so, then yes it will work because they are both capable of Home Sharing.
Yes, "this" meant importing tracks from the Library on my wife's MBP

My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output. Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram

My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output. Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram. Can be any song, any time, same song will play if I select it again. Bit of a bummer itunes is the main thing I use (macbook pro jukebox).

Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
Best of luck

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited. It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

Hi Jim:
You are a Legend! I have Windows 8.1, but I had the same option in Control Panel and sure enough it was in auto play, which I have now changed and it is no longer occurring. Thank you!!

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
Anyone?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
