Suddenly...all import CDs have "Track 1, 2" etc....all details missing

What would cause this to happen? I have tried about 10 CDs and some are new....only loads titles as Track 1...no artist...no details...
Help lists don't go into this....any ideas?

I am also unable to get CD track names. When I try to use use "Advanced>Get CD Tracks" I get an error message as follows "CDDB error. HTTP processing error." I have tried turning off all firewall, pop up blocker etc security software - but to no avail.
I have also tried downloading the latest version of iTunes with no result. Any ideas?

When I import cds, occasionally track quality is awful.

On some cds, even newly purchased ones, when I import them onto iTunes some tracks momentarily pause, giving a kind of crackling sound as it happens.
Is there something I can do to improve the quality of the importing process? No one else i've spoken to seems to have this problem! It's so frustrating.

Well Alot of store bought CDs are protected in a way that the songs are copied to the PC, but the protection software causes it to be all choppy sounding.
Some CDs say something about "Protection" or DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the fine print.
Try ripping a problem CD in another program and see if you have issues.
Also goto the PC makers site and see if theres any Firmware updates for your CD ROM, or the PCs BIOS or IDE controllers. Some older CD ROMs have trouble reading more recently made CDs and its fixed by updating the firmware

My imported CDs have disappeared.

First of all, I don't have the latest version of iTunes.
Recently I bought a multiple-disc CD and imported it into iTunes with GraceNote. I renamed some of them because I have OCD when it comes to organisation. A few days later I went back on iTunes and all my iCloud music was there and all my films and TV shows as well. In preferences, I set iTunes to only show purchased items but when I went back to music, my imported CD was gone; it wasn't there when all the iCloud items were shown either.
Before I imported the CD, I bought a few of the tracks on iTunes but deleted them before I imported the full CD. Could it have something to do with that?
How can I get the CD back? Of course I have a physical version, but I don't want to spend ages importing them all again. Also, it wasn't the first time I'd imported it - my sister deleted the CD the first time.

Same is here

Imported cds have no info and songs aren't listed together?

Every time I import a cd it lists the songs seperatly and rarely ever has song titles or album arwork. I used to know how to manually fix it, it was tedious but mostly worked, but with the new itunes I can't figure it out. The cds are major cds, for example the new Hobbit soundtrack. I'm just getting really frustrated. I've searched for album artwork and get track names, neither did anything. The only error I'm getting is CDDB info not available for some items.
Any ideas? I could take the no artwork or song names if they at least didn't list the songs individually throughout my itunes.
Thanks!

Perhaps the Artist information to the songs you imported have a space at the very front and this has caused it to sort the Artist differently.
Carefully review the artist information for the songs in question in iTunes and see if anything is different on the Artist information.
Best Regards-

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which was unknown imported as single tracks. How can I combine these into one album

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which came up as unknown has imported as single tracks named track 1, track 2 etc. It wasn't an obscure CD (Paul Carrack - the journey so far) but not one that's available in the itunes store. I've manually changed the track names but they all appear as single tracks in the "Albums" section. Is there a way to put them all into an album to show up as an album with the other albums. Other "unknown" CDs I imported have imported with the correct track names but just don't have the album artwork so I don't understand why this one is behaving totally different?

If you select the tracks all together in iTunes/ Songs then go to File/Get info you will be asked "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?" Go ahead and you can make them into an album, putting in the artist name, etc.

Im importing cds onto my itunes but they are coming up with no track names/artists etc, itunes is saying i have no internet connnection but im on my laptop and im online, can anyone help? ive never had this issues before? they are legit cds from HMV?

Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?

Hey there lollypops21,
It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

I am using MacBook Pro and running 10.8.4. iTunes version 11.0.4. Several of the cd's i have imported recently have been split into multiple albums by ITunes. How do I bring all the bonus tracks together with the original album?

Hello there, Fineshot.
The following Knowledge Base article might provide some information that should help you resolve the issue you're having:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

ITunes has stopped allowing me to import CDs. if I reboot it will import one, and only one. all was working fine before. the itunes diagnostics have all green lights

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

TS1362 I am having trouble playing imported cds. The tracks keep sticking which is a bit like buffering is this a common problem and can i rectify it.

Being new to the iphone I am having trouble listening to imported cds. The tracks keep sticking a bit like buffering. Is this a common problem and can it be solved just by addressing a general buffering problem which I already have on youtube but have not rectified as yet.
Thanks Kaz T

If <alanfromnewtownards> fix fails to address the issue - turn off iMessage and Facetime in Settings. Settings\iMessage, and Settings\facetime.
Sync by cable to iTunes.
Leave cable connected, open Settings\iCloud and ensure at least Mail is on and dsplays your Apple iD email - then turn iMessage and Facetime back on. Ensure that in the ISettings...\iMessage...\Facetime page that the Receive at field and Receive video calls at email address is the same address as your Apple I.D.
Resync when finished.
If still having problems with Facetime then check that the required port is open - allowing traffic in your router.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
In some cases you may need to turn on Port forwarding and open the port manually to allow traffic through. See your router documentation for details.
If having problems verifying, open iTunes store App on your pad. at bottom of page, click on your ID and sign in. Go to your Account details (re-veryfying and answering security questions may be required to do this) - check all details are correct.
Finally right click your device icon in iTunes and select Reset warnings. resync when finished.

HT1351 When I import cds to itunes the albums do not contain all songs. If there are multiple artists or a duet, each song shows up as an album.

When I import cds to itunes, the albums do not contain all songs. If there is a duet, each duet is listed as a separate album.
As an example," Genius Loves Company" or "Tuskegee" each are listed as many albums---each album has a separate song.
I spoke to Apple Help and they were of some help, but did not answer the question.

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Album tracks are not under one title on importing cds

When I import cds into iTunes, the album is broken up into multiple albums. How do I get the album together so I can hear the whole thing without having to find another part of the album. I know I can link for playing in sequence, but that's a lot of work. I want to see all tracks in the same album heading.

Hi john232,
If the albums you are importing into iTunes are being broken up, you may need to mark them as part of a compilation. The following article may be helpful:

HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Help - have imported cds few times, most times cannot

have imported cds few times, most times cannot. i have gone through EVERYTHING i can find in help and on the apple website re importing and about my computer model. Nothing has worked. What is strange is that it has worked a few times.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem. My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended. Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i. The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update. I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before. I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed. My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not. If that means anything.

All of a sudden all of my tracks are squeezed to the left. The Bar Ruler begins at "1" with the next measure at "129" on to the thosands. How do I get back to my original count and un-squeeze my tracks? thank you. John

Welcome to Discussions - the fact that the S.M.A.R.T. status is not recognized and the flashing questions mark appear seem to indicate that your hard drive has failed. If you have access to TechToolPro or Disk Warrior, try to use them to check the drive status. This will likely not work, and I'm afraid your disk is toast.
You could try to remove the drive and put it in an external case and try to mount it on your MacBook, but I don't hold out much hope for that either. You can try using [Data Rescue|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/211375] to retrieve your data.
You can also take it in to Apple and see what they say. Please let us know how things turn out,
