Superdrive not loading music cds: a new twist...

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem to the one many have posted here: insert certain store-bought music cds, Superdrive spins for a few seconds then unceremoniously ejects said disc. Other similarly purchased new cds load just fine, show up in iTunes, music plays.
Here's the twist: I have noticed, through careful observation, that the discs that aren't loading have a peculiar barcode type thing running partway around the central hole of the cd. None of these cds have any indication of anti-copy protocols imbedded. The labels run the gamut from an imprint of Interscope to Warner Japan to Virgin to something called Wounded Bird.
Cds without this barcode thing seem to be loading fine.
Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? I've tried many (but not all) of the friendly suggestions offered herein, usually stopping short of those to which the original poster said "tried that, didn't work'.
Maybe there's a workaround being perfected by one of you geniuses?!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
These drives often seem problematic on these machines. Given the age have you tried a cleaning disc to clear any dust of the lens?

HT2801 My drive reads discs as blank and not reading music cds at all.

My drive is reading start up discs as blank and not reading music cds at all( they just spin in there until I eject them). They're clean, scratch free and ejecting with no problems. I replaced my hard drive three weeks back and need to replace programs and info.

With the new ios7, can I not load music onto my phone anymore?

I've downloaded the new ios7 and now it seems I can't load music onto my phone anymore? I have a 4s. I plug it in to iTunes and it says that the phone doesn't have a current version of iTunes on it. I've searched in the app store and can't find one.
Instead I'm stuck with the player trying to play songs through my cloud and it's not even doing that properly.

You will find that it is saying you have an issue with iTunes on Your Computer...
iOS 7 requires iTunes version 11.1 Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

Opening links in new tab will not load pages either from new link or bookmarked pages after firefox 3.6 update

After updating my fire fox to 3.6.3 I now cannot click on links into a new tab it will just open a blank tab, after hitting refresh, nothing happens. But when clicking bookmark link it will open in new tab as wanted but will not load unless I re-click it a second time. Clicking links normally will load page. Entering a URL like www.yahoo.com will not load either. To get to this page I had to a search engine like yahoo and type in fire fox website and it from there.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

IPhone not loading music

When I grab a song in iTunes and mouse it over my phone, it does not highlight the phone icon, nor when I release the song, it does not load onto the phone. What am I doing wrong?

You cannot drag and drop on the iPhone like with the iPod, it does not support that
The only way to add music is by syncing

Page data does not load with goButton? (new window of identical page)

Hi guys. I ran into a problem. Essentially, I need to print a .jsff page but before I do, I have to alter its format a little bit. The solution I decided to use was to create a new .jspx page containing almost the exact same content. I even copied the data bindings and everything. Finally, I created a goButton on my original page like so:
<af:goButton text="Print as BOSSMON" destination="SubmitPrint.jspx?org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.agent.email=true"
                    targetFrame="_blank">
</af:goButton>This opens my page nicely in the format I want. But...there is no data on the page! It just opens a frame of the page. Can someone help me resolve this?
Otherwise, is there any other technique I could use to accomplish my goal?

Hi guys. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I finally got a working solution, something totally different from the suggestions.
My goal was to print a .jsff page nicely. But before I could do that, I needed to modify some data on the page. I also wanted to do this in as few clicks as possible. I tried the goButton technique but the binding data would not load. I couldnt figure out why.
Nonetheless, I finally managed to make my own version (albeit, not that neat!). I accomplished this by essentially making a template which automatically opens in showprintablebehavior format. I tried to follow a bunch of online tutorials/blogs but nothing worked for me. Here are the steps I used:
1) Creating a new .jspx page.
2) Copy the entire source of the .jsff page (the one which needs to be printed) into our new template .jspx page. (do have to modify the beginning parts by adding <af:document> <af:form> etc)
3) Create a pageDef for the template page and copy the entire pageDef as well (do have to change the name of the pagedef)
4) Modify your print template to your liking.
5) Add a taskflow rule that links the original .jsff page to the new template page
6) Add a commandButton on the original .jsff page which opens this printing page in a new window (remember to use "dialog:....."). Here is mine:
<af:commandButton text="Open Printer Friendly Version" id="printer_popup" action="dialog:edit_print" useWindow="true"
                              windowEmbedStyle="window" inlineStyle="display:block;"
                              windowHeight="100" windowWidth="100">
</af:commandButton>7) Now, in the printing template page, add a command button which simply has the showprintablebehaviour tag within it as well as a client listener to invoke some javascript. Here is what I used:
<af:commandButton text="Printer Page" id="sha_print">
    <af:clientListener method="do_loading" type="focus"/>
    <af:showPrintablePageBehavior/>
</af:commandButton>8) In the beginning of this page, you will have an <af:document> tag. Modify it so it sets focus to our print button above when the page loads. Like so:
<af:document id="d2" initialFocusId="sha_print">9) Now add a resource tag to your page which has the "do_loading" javascript method.
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
    <af:resource type="javascript">
          function do_loading(event) {
              var target = document.getElementById('sha_print');
              target.click();
              top.close();
              //alert("got focus sir!");
    </af:resource>
</f:facet>Thats it! What this does is when you click on the command button to open the printer template, our template page opens but as it opens, it automatically sets focus to the printer button using the document tag. The printer button has a listener which activates when it receives focus (in our case, as soon as the page loads). This listener invokes the javascript method, which progamatically clicks the printer button and closes this window. What your left with is a printer friendly page of your modified page!
All the data is present there too!
If anyone has any questions/comments, please do ask.

Could not load rented video on new Nano. Error code - 0xE00002BE

I'm having the same problem. Any luck resolving the issue?

Blackberry Media Sync 3.0 not loading music libary

I have a Storm 9530 running v5.0.0.328 and the Media Sync is long working. I am running XP and keep getting differnt problems.
1. It does not load the music libary. It just hangs saying "loading music lilbary..."
2. I want to use it with Windows Media player but when I select it under options and click ok it goes right back to itunes. Even with keeping it at iTunes it does not load anything.
3. Sometimes I get the message "failled to load media".
4. Sometimes I put it on and it says need to turn on mass storage mode but it's already on.
5. Sometimes it says it does not reconise my devise at all.
6. Sometimes when I try to move it from iTunes to Windows Media Player it just frezzes all together and I need to restart it only to get another one of these errors.
The last version of Media Sync has been crashing for a couple months now and not syncing anything. I was thinking 3.0 would fix it. Nothing seems to be working. Please help.

Hi corbettcj:
It’s difficult to determine exactly what the problem is, but it sounds like some Media Sync data files may have become corrupted. I’ll give you instructions to clear these files away and hopefully the music libraries will load again.
- Open Windows Explorer and go to %appdata%\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Media Sync
- Delete all the files / folders here
Try to launch Media Sync again. Hopefully this will help your music libraries load properly.
Hopefully the errors with device connection don’t happen too often. Sometimes Windows will fail to recognize the Blackberry and thus Media Sync also can’t see it. The solution is usually to unplug/replug or restart the computer.
Let us know what happens. We can offer more trouble shooting steps if this doesn’t work.
Cheers

ITune 10.1.1 not mounting music CDs

Since the latest upgrade, iTunes is not mounting and reading some music CDs. This includes commercial CDs, not just home-burnt cds. DVDs are mounting and playing fine so I don't think it's the drive. So far I've tried:
1. System Preferences/CD & DVDs/unchecked and rechecked "Open iTunes" when I insert a disk
2. iTunes Preferences/Generall/unchecked and rechecked "automatically check retrieve CD track name from internet."
3. Resetting PRAM
Still it's reading CDs (commerical and homemade) as "Untitled disc"
Any ideas>>

It used to work. For some reason after upgrading iTunes, it does not recognized my iPhone. That *****, Apple!
I'll try again tonight and see if there's anything different.

Itunes store will not load to create a new account

There are four members of my family. Each family member has their own Windows user account, three with an itunes account. I have been trying to create an account for my youngest son for three hours. The itunes store will not load and gives a "not connected" message. The internet is working fine, and all three of the rest of us can access itunes and the store. I have turned off all parental controls that could have been messing istore up. How do I fix this?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How do I load music on my new ipod without using itunes?

I am having tons of problems with getting itunes to pull up on my computer. I believe that my computer has a pretty nasty virus in it and it is causing problems with many of my programs (internet explorer, norton, and other programs). I am having my computer worked on later this week so I hope to get the virus taken care of. I am aware of the many different virus cleaners and checkers that are free to me on the internet and I do plan on using them. But right now the issue is time. I don't have any. I am leaving tomorrow morning on a trip and would like to have my nice new 30gb ipod loaded up with some music that I already have my laptop to pass the time on the flight.
Again I do not need a pitch for using itunes....I know how cool it is and I plan on taking advantage of it as soon as I return and have time to fix my computer issues. I just need to know how to load what I already have on to my ipod.
When I connect my ipod via the USB cable and pull up that drive I see the files: Calendars, Contacts, and Notes. I am assuming that I need to create a "Music" file that I will then drag-and-drop the MP3 copies from my computer to the newly created file. Is this correct? If not....then what do I need to do?
Thanks for the much needed help.

Sorry jrock,
You can use iTunes files to load other mp3 players with music files but iPods don't function like other mp3 players. You can't just load mp3's onto an iPod and play them, you have to use iTunes.
