Trouble loading cds in iTunes

CDs that play fine elsewhere will not load in iTunes - after a few seconds, the disc ejects. This is not consistent since many other discs load just fine. Any assistance would be appreciated.

First thing I would suggest is basic system maintenance to see if that gets anything back in the right configuration. Even if it doesn't help this specific problem, you should do this stuff occationally anyway...

I am getting interference on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from down loaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thank you so much for the reply. I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car. I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.

Cannot load CDs to itunes on iMac ( OS X v10.6.8 ). all systems updated. The CDs works in my friends cheap Dell/ windows.

the discs are single, new, clean, flat and load in my friends dell/ windows fine.

The easiest thing to check is if it is just this CD. Try another one. If others work, then it is likely the CD. Yes, evenif it works in a friend's computer.
Try an alternative ripper such as XLD or Max. Even though you may not want that as the long-term solution it will at least indicate whether the problem is with iTunes or something else.

If other CDs and rippers do not work, it could be the drive itself, or the part of the computer running the hardware. For the latter some have found a SMC reset to work.

If you think it is the drive, you can try a cleaning disc (about $10 from a computer store or media store) to get rid of dust. I haven't had much success with these, though usually I am running some older machine on which I can expect a drive to die after 5 years of use.
If you're really desperate and none of the above work, you could look at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3635433 - tips on possibly repairing an old CD drive If you have to go to this extent you're probably in a place where you just want to think about getting a new drive.

Help Loading CDs into Itunes 11

I recently upgraded Itunes to 11 and lost a portion of my library. I am reloading the CDs and have hit a snag. I can only load 1 CD then it will not load any more. I have closed and reopened Itunes without luck. I reboot and I can get 1 CD in but that is it. I can see the CD on My Computer and play it through there but can't get Itunes to download after one.
Any hints?
Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. With a number of regular store bought music CDs that I have tried to play with and rip into iTunes, the CD has "stalled", I guess - basically the program freezes, and then the only way that I can stop iTunes is by Force Quitting. The specific behavior of the CD drive is that it will speed up and apparently scan the CD for approximately 3 seconds and then slow down (maybe stop) for about 2 seconds, and repeat this in cycles apparently endlessly unless I Force Quit or shut down. When I use Force Quit, it indicates that iTunes is not responding. A few times that it's done this I've let it go for 10 or 12 minutes and it just continues to stall with no change. I've tried pressing the computer eject button and holding it, pausing, skipping tracks, and using a "Skip Doctor" CD repair tool to fix the CDs that I've had the problem with - nothing has worked. 2 or 3 I've hit all kinds of buttons trying to get a response, and I've come back to the computer 5 or 10 minutes later and the CD has finally paused or ejected. What has me so perplexed about this issue is that (a) I take very good care of my CDs for the most part, and (b) this is a brand new MacBook Pro, which I've also taken good care of. My mother's '98 Pontiac minivan was playing these CDs fine last summer. They played fine in my Dell that I got in 2000. I recall that these places on the CDs that it's stalling at are places where I've heard the CD skip in the past, but I've never had this problem with the CD stalling and causing the device that's playing it to become unresponsive. I can't think of anything that I've done to the CD drive or any other part of the computer that would have caused this. Please let me know what you think I might try to resolve this. Thanks.

Loading CDs into itunes

Does anyone have a problem loading, meaning that a CD just stalls and stalls.... and stalls.... then it won't eject and I have to restart to get it out?
I also have a problem sometimes with a CD that churns and churns and then I have the last song on the CD actually IN itunes but it's durations (in minutes) is triple digits???

Trouble loading movies into iTunes

I recently aquired several movies as files on my computer (I assure you this is legal) However, when I try to load these movies onto iTunes, namely V for Vendetta and Advent Children, it simply refuses to do so. These movies are in the same format as several other files I have sucessfully uploaded, and there is room on it for them.
How can I fix this

I had the same problem and now I use iVI to import my video into iTunes. You just drag your videos onto it and it converts them and puts them into iTunes for you. It's worked great. Hope it helps.

Read this if you are having trouble burning CDs in itunes

Always X8 burn speed,
Old versions of Toast showed that was the highest for my old fully spec'd iMac.
A disc burner and CDRs might be up to x52 but the computer is rarely !!
Mine works at X52, but Im not so impatient that I need it at that
X8 always works and even with my Macs (see below)
I never go higher
A good way to check a burned CD is put it in a CD player, press play, then ffwd thru so you can hear it sped up, if there is any stuttering on the counter as it goes , Its been done too fast
If it forwards and the counter is smooth as it displays time, its fine
I store burning up so I can set stuff going while Im watching TV, not staring at the screen going "come on burn burn burn"
Then theres no need to rush and risk having a load of coasters

Good lord, Man! That's the long way around the block.
Highlight all the songs in the album. Right-click and select GET INFO.
Click on the album art in your web browser and drag it to the little box for Album Art in the Get Info dialog.
On rare occations I find Drag and Drop doesn't want to work - right click on the image in your web browser and select COPY - the PASTE in to the box in the GET INFO dialog.

Trouble Ripping Homemade CDs to iTunes

I am having difficulty ripping into iTunes CDs that I have recorded of my band. This occurs on various well-known CD brands, like Maxell and TDK. When the machine and disks are cool, such as right after startup, I have no problem. When the machines gets really warm, that's when the trouble begins: The ripping really slows down. If I shut the computer down and try again the next day, all will be okay until the MacBook warms up again. I have tried raising the laptop off the desk 3/4" in the hope it would keep the bottom of the MacBook cooler, but this doesn't solve the problem. Is this a disk or drive problem?

Sorry to be so long getting back to you. The problems I have ripping homemade CDs to iTunes don't show up when I simply play the CDs. Nor do they occur when I load commercial CDs onto iTunes. Perhaps the CD-Rs I buy are more sensitive to laptop heat.

Connected Apple CD drive to iMac, want to copy CDs to iTunes. CDs ejected but doesn't load in iTunes???

Want to copy CDs to iTunes library. (Elected not to transfer files from old Mac OS 10.5.8)
CD loaded into drive, ran, then ejected but nothing loaded into iTunes? What am I missing?

I did set iTunes Preferences, and tried different selections. Nothing works. By process of elimination, I think it probably is the CD drive.
The work-around, I've loaded selections from my older Mac via flash drive. Now that I think about it, that is a better choice since I'm only transferring the songs that I actually want from the old CDs rather than the entire albums.
Thanks for your advice!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
