This one is very strange. One track from album won't import...

I have been trying to import a CD I own for a long time. I'd hoped that getting my new Mac might have solved this problem but...
The CD in question is fine,. it works and imports OK, in totality, in my partners account. It plays fine in my account. However when I try to import the album into my iTunes library every song except for one will import. The one song which won't import is my favourite from the album, sods law. I have tried every which way to import both the whole album and the single track on it's own to no avail.
I can delete the whole album and re-import it. During the import process iTunes tells me the track is being imported and goes through all the motions but when all is said and done the track does not appear anywhere in my iTunes library. Believe me I have searched for it both in iTunes and the Finder and it is not there! If you look in the folder in the Finder for the album every track is there correctly numbered etc. Except track 12 is skipped and ain't there, it goes from 11 to 13.
This is driving me up the proverbial wall. Please if anyone can offer any advice I will be very grateful...
With Thanks in advance...

maybe a long shot but it won't hurt trying:
check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
now try to import the track again.
if still no joy, this might be a workaround:
create a new admin user account on your machine, log into that, fire up iTunes there, and try importing the CD. if it works, move track 12 in the finder to <MacintoshHD>/users/shared.
log out and back into your usual account. in iTunes there, choose +add to library+ and navigate to the shared folder.

  • I created a CD of one track from my library but it won't play on any CD player

    I burned a CD of one track from my library and can see the track on the CD but it won't play on any CD player....help!  My daughter needs this track to try out for her school talent show.

    Did you burn the CD as an audio CD?
    If not, that's your problem. Otherwise, without more details I can only guess. You might try a different brand of disk, or if you're using CD-RW try CD-R.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • Problem with iTunes purchased track.  I purchased an album from the store and downloaded.  I contacted support as one track was defective and had this one track setup to re-download, which was successful.

    I purchased an album with 11 tracks from the Store.  When the download was complete, I edited the name to make it easier for me to find. I then synced my iPod and iPad with the new album.  However I found that one of the tracks was defective and after writing to the support community, a second download was setup and this fixed the bad track.  I was surprised that when the track downloaded, it went to the track with the new name.  However it works perfectly on my computer.  For some reason, the iPod and iPad have synced a few times but the track for this album on these is the original track with the defect and this has not fixed, though there have been multiple times that it has synced. The laptop with its corrected track works fine.
    The message from support told me to be sure that the software on my laptop was the current version and I did correct this before getting that corrected download.  However I notice that my iPod says that it has the latest version and won't check for an update until 2/24.
    Can you help me figure this out.  I thought if I could delete this track off the iPod and iPad that it would sync the correct version, but I can't see how to delete these.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the problem tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • HT1725 Downloaded Majestic Casual Chapter 1, all ok except Track 47 (last track) suppose to be 1.19.50 long only plays for 1minute 20 seconds.....how do I redownload this one track or find out if theres a fault.?

    D

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (or if doing it on your iPhone delete it from the Music app and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app).
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • ITunes 10 bug? First track of albums won't sync to iPod

    Really weird behavior I've noticed with iTunes 10 - when I add a new album to my iTunes library, and then sync my iPod, the first track of the album isn't copied over. Sync the iPod a second time, and the missing track is copied over.
    I've noticed this on two separate occasions, with two different albums. One was from the iTunes Store and the other wasn't.
    Any ideas? I have an old iPod Photo, but never noticed this behavior before. Started sometime after iTunes 10 came out.

    Quit iTunes. Delete a file named com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig, located in the User Name>System>Library>LaunchDaemons. Go to User Name>Library>Preferences. Locate the file com.apple.iTunes.plist. Move that file to the desktop. Reopen iTunes and it will be like the first time you click on it but your file is not going to be gone. It seems like a support file issue.

  • I want to email just one track from a song

    Hello! I work with a composer. He sends me the music, I put it into Garageband and create the melody and voice(s). Now I want to send just the voices back to him. I have tried muting all the other tracks so he just hears the voices - but does that mean that I am sending a large file each time? ... plus he has to listen to a couple of minutes of 'nothing' as that is where the intro to the song would have been. I have tried copying and pasting the track and then opening a new project and sending it that way but is there an easier way? I don't really want to have all different versions of the same song on my system. (one for each additional voice). Plus, when I hear something I want to change I then have to go back to the original, change that and then re-copy the voice only track.... I hope I am explaining myself properly. Thank you for any help.

    Now I want to send just the voices back to him
    solo the vox track and export it.

  • One song from album classified as a movie (it's just a song)

    For unknown reasons, one and only one song off an album of mine recently moved from being a song on the album to being a "movie" which shows up in my movie list.  There is no associated video, it's just a regular song.
    I can still play the song from my Album list (though the title is greyed out).  I can also play it from the Movies list.   The file is a .m4p file, but for some reason it moved to the "Movies" subdirectory of the iTunes library.  Moving it back to where it belongs does nothing, I need to get iTunes to recognize that I want to move it, but have no idea how to do so.
    Any tips?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks again, but no joy.
    Doing the work only on my computer.  The file is not read-only. 
    As an experiment, I located the file in the "Movies" subdirectory and physically removed it (there's a copy where it belongs in Music/<artist>/<album>.  Trying to play it then (from the album's song list where it also appears), it couldn't find the file and asked me to locate it.  Once I did, it moved the file to the Movies directory and proceeded to play it.  It still thinks it is a video-less "movie".  Get Info reports the "Media Kind" as "Music" and does not allow me to change it (nor should I since that is correct).
    I'm tempted to export the library in it's XML format, see if I can figure out how to fix it and then reconstruct the library from the XML.

  • Last track on album won't count for plays.

    Hello! Well I love the new IT 7 and all, and I just got the update to it (7.0.1.8) a week or so ago, and now I've noticed that if I pull up a single album in my library, after it plays through the tracks, the last track stops on 0:00 left and the play count doesn't tick. I know it's a small thing but I'm kind of a play count junkie and little things like this **** me off.

    I have been unable to duplicate the problem in the other circumstances you described:
    It also happens if you wait for a track to finish then >manually force a different track to play within the first ~4 >seconds of the next track starting.
    As far as I can tell, both the 'Last Played' timestamp and the 'Play Count' are only updated when a track reaches it's end and either playback stops (last track in a playlist) or continues on to the next track in the playlist. This prevents a track but being counted if one skips through it, even if it has started playing. This would also explain why hitting the 'Next' [>>] button updates the information correctly whenever playback hangs at the very end (-0:00) of a last track. I haven't experienced hanging any earlier in a track as others in the thread have.

  • Files from camera won't import into iPhoto Library

    I have a problem that came up just recently. Whenever I try to import .jpg and .mov files from my camera (Kodak EasyShare), only a few or none of the files are imported into my Library. A window comes up that says, "The following files could not be imported. (The import failed.)" Also, if any files do upload, it takes a very long time. I never had this problem earlier this year, and I've been importing files for a year or so. Please help! Thank you so much!!

    Yuzu
    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    Are any of the movies long (ie large files)? iPhoto sometimes does not like large movies imported directly from the camera but will import them from the desktop
    Things to try
    1 - will your camera mount to the desktop - if so you can import directly into iPhoto using the File menu ==> import to library command or can drag the photos form the card to a desktop folder and then import them from there into iPhoto
    2 - use image capture (in your applications folder) to import to a desktop folder
    3 - a USB card reader

  • Video playback from albums won't work when AV cable connected

    I have created an Album on my iPhone 3G that has stills & video content. Previewing & playback on my phone works fine. However, when I playback the album hooked up with an Apple Composite AV cable, everything plays fine until it gets to the video where it just gives a black screen with the audio only playing. If I play the individual clip from iTunes on my phone, it plays back perfectly over the AV cable. Has anyone had any success playing back video in an Album over an Apple AV cable? Is it because I'm using an older model phone? Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you sure it is not plugged into an Ethernet port on the back by mistake? That would present a 150 ohm short circuit. The sockets are very similar, and some Ethernet sockets will take a phone cable as well.
    I am surprised that a Freesat box needs a phone line, unless its for some form of remote control.
