Trouble Importing Music on Dual Disc

I can load all other CDs, but can't import music from the CD side of the Dual Discs.
Please help.
Thanks.

The non-DVD side of DualDiscs does not meet CD Red Book specifications and it sounds like that might be the cause of your problem.
A search via Google should turn up lots of information.
Here are a couple of links to get you started:

Trouble importing music from extenal HD

I have a large music collection on an external hd consisting of about 400gb that I'm trying to import into itunes. I made a new itunes library, located on my external hd, by going into preferences/advanced, and changed the location of the library and imported 120 gb of music without any problems.
Then, while I as importing music, I recieved the message "Attempting to copy to the disk "my hd" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
After this itunes would not import any more music. Eventually I found that if I went in to preferences/advanced, and unchecked the "copy music to itunes music folder" options, itunes would import my music just fine.
This I can except, although it is a little more labor intensive, except a second problem started. When I would go to play some of the music I had recently imported, I get the exclamation point beside the track and the message "the song xxx could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it."
I understand what this means but itunes seems to be doing this randomly to different tracks on different cds. This means once i import music to itunes, I may have to do it 2-4 times before the link to the file actually stays in itunes which is completely unmanigable with a collection of this size.
I have been able to import files into itunes a second time, after the file was disconnected from itunes, and it has stayed in itunes successfully. This makes me think it is an itunes problem and not something to do with the specific files that are being disconnected.
I know it's a lot of info but any suggestions would be helpful.
I'm a little frustrated.
Thanks

Are you using a USB external drive? I've had problems like that before, trying to move large chunks of data, especially music, with USB. If you have the option of using Firewire with that HD, it works a lot better.

Import music from hard disc

I put music on the harddisc of my Mac, but I cannot import it into my i Tunes library.

I saw this mentioned in the context of converting WMA but don't know if it works (it won't run on my computer):
Adapter - http://www.macroplant.com/adapter/ - free
iTunes for Mac won't play .wma which is a Microsoft proprietary format. iTunes for Windows will play and convert. If none of the tools suggested work the you may hve to get the advanced version of Flip4Mac (payware) which permits conversion.

Trouble importing music to my Zen To

I used to have an ipod, but it was stolen about a year ago. I have since then been using the itunes player as my default, and it hold all of my music. With my new Zen Touch though, it won't let me transfer the files from my documents and iTunes into it. Can anyone help me?
Thank You,
Sarah

What software are you trying to use to transfer to the Zen?
Normally you can just use something like MediaSource to transfer your files directly onto the player. I'm assuming these aren't AAC files, which aren't supported on the Zen.

Trouble importing from cd

I've been having trouble importing music into iTunes from a CD. Many times it will START the importing process and then freeze up (it continues to look like it's working but will be stuck in one spot for 5 or 10 minutes or longer. I end up having to force quit and starting over sometimes 2 or 3 times before it copies all of the songs. I've had the problem with old CDs but now it's doing it with brand new, out of the package CDs. I've never had this problem before and don't know if it's iTunes or the Mac Mini I'm working on. Anyone have any ideas about trouble-shooting? It's very frustrating and my PC friends are making fun of me .
Thanks!

Hi--
My Mini came with 10.4.3, but my other Macs have
10.3.8. (I wasn't able to upgrade the other
computers with the OSX discs that came in my Mini.)
Right, that's because the discs that come with the Mini won't have the necessary components to work with the other Macs. So it's either not going to work, period, or if it does, you risk an incomplete installation.
I
have never had trouble with my iBook importing and
never had trouble with my iMac which used a Lacie
external CD burner.
If you still have the external CD burner, try connecting that to your Mini and see what happens. If it works, then it's more likely the drive on the Mini. If it's the same, then probably a problem with iTunes' preferences somewhere.
Also, you could create a new user on the Mini. Try importing CDs with this new user. Again, if the imports work, then the drive is fine. But if they stall, too, then it might be time to have the drive looked at.
This is what I found for yesterday (the
day I was last importing CD's) in my Console.log.
But I don't know what it means or if it's related to
iTunes application.
None of that stuff in the log has anything to do with iTunes. The mdimportserver is just an informational message from Spotlight telling you that it wasn't able to decode some data in a file, so it would treat it as if it were binary data instead of text.
The DirectoryService NetInfo listings can be gotten rid of, I believe, by turning off "NetInfo" in the Directory Access program in your Utilities folder. That's according to a post a short way down this page.
The other errors from Dashboard are just garden variety notifications. I was thinking that perhaps you were getting Disk I/O errors in your console log, or SAM multimedia sense errors. Those can be caused by either bad drives or bad CDs.

I can't import music from my computer into Itunes

I've been trying to import music from my computer into Itunes, And it isnt working
I have the latest version of Itunes
When I try adding the files by clicking add file in Itunes or by dragging, it does nothing
I know it means that the file is incompatible with Itunes, But I have put the same type of file into Itunes before with no issues (MP3)

Hey Haley.1182,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble importing music into iTunes. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article should help get the music imported. The second article shows what formats are compatible with iTunes.

Importing Music and TextEdit Voice Application to Final Cut Express HD

I'm having trouble importing music tracks I bought and downloaded from the ITunes Music Store to Final Cut Express HD.
Also, is there a way of importing the 'audio computer voice' from TextEdit reading some text into Final Cut Express HD - I would like audio of a 'Robot Voice' reading some text on my audio track in a project.
Many thanks,
Jim

DRM prohibits use of many iTunes store tracks in FCE. The iTunes procedure, for material you can use legally, is to click iTunes>Preferences. In the Importing screen of the Advanced section, select AIFF encoding in Import Using. Then select the track you want to convert in your library and click Advanced>Convert Selection to AIFF, then drag the resulting file into FCE. (It will be at the CD sample rate of 44.1kHz; FCE prefers 48kHz.)

I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

Importing/converting DVD-Audio/Dual Discs

Hello, this is my first post.
I just got the 30 GB Video Ipod today.
I am not having any luck with iTunes importing and converting my dvd-audio/dual discs.
The CD side gets recognized by iTunes but sounds VERY scratchy when it is converted to a format to put on my ipod. Strangely, it also sounds scratchy when I play it on windows media player or any other software player. It also goes silent for a bit sometimes. But it plays fine outside of my computer (e.g. my car) and it isnt scratched.
I flipped it over to the DVD side and iTunes doesn't recognize it so I can't import and convert it. The DVD side sounds fine though when I play the audio on my computer or on an outside player (e.g. my car).
Is there anything I can do?

Having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my playlists

I'm having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my play lists. For example when I purchase or import new music to my playlists I have to re sync my ipod or the new songs don't appear on my playlists. Perhaps this is because I once unplugged my ipod w/out first disconnecting it. Previously when I purchased and imported music songs would appear on my play lists when I dragged them from purchased to playlist.

Remember to authorise your new machine with the Apple ID
Essentially copy the itunes folder and all sub folders over to the same place in the new computer.
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

Trouble once music is imported for pc

when i import music from my computer it gets separated into individual folders instead of one. (mainly now cds) this is very annoying. i am a novice at itunes and need help. i have looked in the itunes support but nothing come up. please help thanks in advance

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Problem importing music - CDs won't be read

Hello,
I'm re-importing my music onto an external hard drive after my multiple libraries got mixed up (I figured it'd be easier that wading through the 150+ gigs of music), and I have a problem. Music that I've had no trouble importing before is now causing me problems. I insert the CD into my MacBook Pro, and it'll spin up trying to read the CD three times, and then spit the CD back out. It doesn't even show up in iTunes.
Is there something I can do to fix this? I've imported the music, with no problem, before on my iMac G4 to the external drive. I've encountered this problem in the past, but not at this magnitude (I'd say about forty or so of my CDs won't work in the MBP). It's usually happened before on imported CDs, but I've gotten them to work in the past.
I've tried restarting iTunes as well as my computer, but no luck. The CDs are clean, and while not perfect, are clean enough that they should be recognized by the drive (when I put them in my iMac, they show up and work).
In case you're wondering (I don't know if it'll help or not), I'm using a MBP with the new Santa Rosa chipset. The music is going on to a LaCie External HD connected via FW 800. I'm using the latest version of iTunes software, and all the software is up-to-date. The iMac that I don't use, but the CDs work in, is a iMac G4 800 MHz.
My thanks in advance. This is really, really frustrating since I just purchased this MacBook Pro. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
-Kyle

I'm having a similar problem on my iMac G4. Some CDs will import fine, others just spin and won't read. I tested them on another Mac (in this case a G4 Aluminum and the CDs would read).
Don't know what to do here. If it were just one or two discs I would come up with a work around, but in this case, I have discs that would not import (1/2 of what I tried to import last night).
Have looked at my iTunes settings and don't see anything. Since the drive works for some CDs, I know it works. Appreciate any insight you can offer.
Thanks.

Issue with burning and importing music

my MBpro is excessively "picky" about burning, or importing music from or to a cdr.
System details
MBPro 15in
2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
current OS: OS X 10.6.8
here is summary of issue.
Ive been transferring all my CDs to my HD. Sometimes, i will insert a CD (all CDs mentioned within are purchased) and each time is a guessing game as to if it will recognize or read it and import the CD. Sometimes ive had to re-insert the same cd 3-4 times before it will recognize/read it and import it. Condition of disc i.e. scratches etc. doesnt matter (within logical reason, i dont try to insert a CD that is obviously unreadable). could be brand new, or several years old in like new condition.
i have also had this issue with a blank CDR and trying to burn music from my iTunes to them, also playback of a CDR that i had created using this laptop. Ive purchased and thrown away probably 2-300 brand new blank cdr's because it wont recognize them. I do remember not having an issue of creating cds when i used the "black" style CDR's. Which i have yet to try out, since this issue arose. I dont want to spend the money on the black style cdr's and it be a waste.
I realize that its an older MBPro, and would understand if the super drive unit, itself is worn out, and just needs replaced. anyways, any help is appreciated
thank you.

Hi JTKC12,
If you are having issues importing from or burning to CDs/CD-Rs, possibly due to a Super-Drive issue, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

I have PC with Windows 7 and iPad. My music in iTunes on PC is available under Music on iPad but having trouble moving music to i-Cloud. I suceed in moving the music to iCloud on PC but when I look at iPad music still on device and not in iCloud. Help?

I am a beginner using Apple software, so please bare with me.
I am having trouble moving music from the iPad to iCloud in order to save space in the device.
I realise that in order to store music not purchased on iTunes store can only be stored in iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match which I have done.
Appears that moving music from iTunes on my PC to iCloud is successful by deleting song or album in iTunes library and than click on "Keep song" instead of sending to recycle bin. After this has been done the Cloud Icon appears on the album or against the song. However when I then look at Music on the iPad the album or song have not been moved to iCloud. I have tried syncronising with cable connected between PC and iPad. After that has been done the message is that sync was successful bujt still music has not been moved into the Cloud.
Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to move the music to the cloud working on the iPad only (without trying to use the PC to move the music to the cloud)?

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.
