Re: Cannot play or import on itunes...thinking of reporting this to BBB

Does apple have an optical drive compatability list? I would think that a NEC drive that is oemed by Sony would be pretty commonplace but it doesn't seem to work (along with the memorex drive i have). Just not sure what to do at this point. Its just sad. My nano and itunes is not getting used whatsoever because of this. In the meantime I have bought about a dozen CD's none of which work through itunes.
Interestingly enough I work in equity research in a group that covers this stock...sigh....

To me, it sounds like the drive is simply having problems reading the disc - that is, it can load the table information, but eventually lose the audio stream (in whatever application you are streaming into... iTunes, Media pLayer, etc...).
Try another audio disc that does not have scratches. Try the discs that don't work in another computer.
Some drives read CDs better than others.

  • I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password.  HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

    I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password.  How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Turintest2,
    I am having a similar problem.  I have over 4000 songs giving me this error.  I certainily don't want to go in one by one and find them.  I know you wrote a script for Windows but I am a Mac user.  Is there a fix for me?  Here is the info on where the song is currently (used by doing the get info)
    Here's a shot of my preferences:
    Just FYI, I know that apparently iTunes is looking for this music in the trash.  However, if I go here:
    Then I find the music there as well.  (Which is where it is in my preferences.)
    Please help!  I don't want to have to go through over 4000 songs and update them one by one.

  • Led Zeppelin mothership cd will not play or import on itunes

    The Led Zeppelin CD-Mothership will not play or import onto iTunes, I have not had a problem before, I have all Led Zeppelin CD's on iTunes & thousands of other tracks. Any help would be appreciated.

    Some CD's are crippled with invalid error codes or similar schemes to try to prevent copying. Is error checking turned on or off? Try with both settings. Do the CD's play OK in a regular player or alternate computer? Search for the title plus "copy protection" to see if there are known issues with the CD in question. (Yes there are!)
    On the occasions this has happened to me I have returned the CD to the store for a refund.

    Why have I been prompted to refresh when don't remember any problems except slow to open? Don't think I reported this, but need to. It is a huge problem, most times takes >3 min for browser to open! I click on task bar icon and wait. Then right click & choose Moz FF. Eventually 2 screens open. I hope I don't have to refresh to clear this up. TY, Gracie

  • Cannot Play or Import CD's...I'm so fed up, please help

    Here's my dilemma. I cannot get iTunes to play or import CD's via an external drive (my internal laptop drive is broken). This is the second drive that I have purchased (prior one was a memorex, this one is a Sony Dual layer DVD-RW). When I insert the CD, the metadata regarding the album name and track names appear. But when I try to play the song it will just skip through it like the song was 0 seconds long and it will import the song (all the metadata) but there will be no song and it will take up no memory space. What the heck am I doing wrong?
    Please note that when I play the cd via windows media player or nero suite it works like a charm. I'm so fed up with this now that I have wasted money on two external drives and sitll no dice. Please help.

    To me, it sounds like the drive is simply having problems reading the disc - that is, it can load the table information, but eventually lose the audio stream (in whatever application you are streaming into... iTunes, Media pLayer, etc...).

  • CANNOT PLAY OR IMPORT CD'S - HP Touchsmart IQ504 -

    I'm trying to import cd's into itunes.  When I insert the cd, it will load the cd title and tracks, but won't play OR import them.  The sympotoms change a little as well.  I was able to hear audio from a cd through my pc for a few seconds before it froze.  This only happened once.  Normally it just sits on the 1st track "loading".  If left for an hour or so, it will respond with "Errror occurred while converting the file ' Example 1 '   The required disck cannot be found"
    I thought it was Itunes and I uninsatlled and reinstalled it several times but I am also unable to hear the cd/dvd when played through " My Computer" and going to the drive.  It loads tiltle and tracks, but doesn't play. 
    I've tried multiple cd's.  And several "Real player"s or Quicktime etc.  The audio works fine as far as websites goes.  Youtube etc.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

  • Cannot play song bought on itunes on iPhone 4

    Having 2 problems with my iphone4:
    1: cannot play songs I bought on itunes, when trying it simply goes one "step" back returning to list of bought music
    2: when peoble are trying to call me, it always appears busy, even if im not on the phone

    I tried each suggestion under the topic you gave me the link to, no success. My Problem might be in the itunes store. When I checked my purchase history in my profile the songs I downloaded in 2006 do not show. When the box opens for me to authorize the songs my aol ID is pre-selected. When I use my aol password it says to create an apple ID. I want to contact the itunes store to restore my purchases to my profile. This may solve my problem. I don't think that I should have to buy them again.

  • I cannot play or import a cd

    How come I can no longer play or import cds to itunes?

    You mention "popping & cracking" in your topic but omit same in your post.
    If that is what you are hearing, then I suggest that you contact Apple ASAP. Hopefully, you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare.
    If not, regarding "cost" in the USofA, that all depends on the number of part(s) needed & then you have to take into consideration the state, city, federal, & county taxes. And, my personal favorite, labor charges.

  • I cannot play mp3 file on itunes after i recover it from an external hdd

    hey guy'z i need a little help here
    i have a large mp3 file from an old 2TB which had a problem and then recovered and transfered to a new ext hdd.
    now after the recovery was done and i'm trying to play my music on the itunes it wont play
    any solution guys?
    and another thing is the wma file why i cant i play it also on my itunes?

    iTunes cannot play WMA files.  Use a conversion program such as Switch or EasyWMA to convert the WMA to MP3 or AAC.
    For your problem MP3, make sure it is a valid file by playing it in another player such as QuickTime.  If it plays there but not in iTunes, then it needs to be cleaned up with a program such as MP3 Validator.

  • Cannot play after importing library

    Some time ago I changed my Apple id from X to Y. Then:
    1. Backed up all of iTunes library to an external hard-drive from MacBook Pro using rsync.
    2. Imported all of iTunes library into Windows iTunes from the hard-drive using File->Add Folder to Library.
    3. Double-clicked purchased track and was prompted for my Apple id and password. Put in Y and the password.
    4. Got dialog saying the machine was now authorized to play the track.
    Repeated step 3. Got step 4.
    Steps 3 and 4 repeat infinitely now.
    These tracks will not sync to my iPod.
    Anyone know how make iTunes friggin work properly here?
    Thanks,
    /r:b:

    Music still won't play after importing iTunes Library using external drive.
    "Still"? It wasn't playing before?
    What did you do to make it stop playing?
    Where is the disconnect in these instructions that state your music should be easily transferred when in fact it is not at all?
    Exactly which instruction are you referring to?
    Music still won't play after importing
    The link above does not mention anything about importing. What did you import?
