TS1387 I am importing CD's into iTunes.  There were 3 different selection for the CD I put in and I accidently selected the wrong one, Now how do I change it?  It seems to only recognize it as the wrong CD now.

I am importing CD's into iTunes.  The CD that I put in had the option of 3 different CD's and I accidentally chose the wrong CD name.  Is there a way to change it?  It now seems to only recognize that CD as the wrong one.

Trevor,
When you say your superdrive rips, the import speeds are typically around 20x, what encoding method and bit rate are you using ?
I imported another CD and watched for what import speed numbers were displayed. Routinely, they hovered around 8x and sometimes up to 12 or 13x, but never higher. I was told by someone at our local user's group meeting that ripping at AAC 192kbps was a double-pass, I think that was the words they used, and therefore slower. ( Many members thought 7 minutes to rip was typical ) I'm not so sure if that means the drive will only spin at half it's rated max speed ? Anyway, I walked over to my son's PC with the CD and ripped it at AAC 192kbps to his iTunes library. The numbers I saw were from 18x to frequently 23, 24 and sometimes briefly to about 26x. His drive has a max of 40x. By my reasoning, anything that would cause iTunes to rip this CD at a slower speed, whether due to the encoding rate or the CD's surface condition, should affect both computers equally, yes ? Yet the drive on the PC performed on average at twice the rate of the iMac. I think it's safe to say the rip speed is comfortably within the operating margins of both drives.
I'm not yet fully convinced this is normal for an iMac. My CD are in excellent shape. I'm the only one who uses them and I handle them with about as much care as the old audiofiles used to when they handled their vinyl LPs ( well, at least not as far as wearing cotton gloves and sweeping the dust off ). Most of them have absolutely no visible scratches or oily finger prints on their surfaces. I might experiment and see what rates I get if I use MP3 or a lower bit rate for AAC.

  • My email used for my apple id was hacked and I had to give it up. How do I change my primary id? I can't use the one I had that was hacked.

    I have tried to update my id and I seem to be getting a second account because when I enter my current email, apple tells me that I already have an account. I also am told that emails for verification are sent to my hacked account that I cannot access so I cannot get my ipad mini registered. I feel like I have been going around in circles and am very frustrated.

    Happens all the time and you are probably correct about cause.
    Some CD manufacturers use various forms of copy protection on discs designed to interfere with computers reading the discs. I have found iTunes to be very picky about this too. I have had several discs iTunes would not acknowledge but could rip with another program. Other times the fix is as simple as cleaning the disc ro turning on error correction for the ripping process.

    I have recently changed devices from ipod touch to a new iphone 4s. Since this is now a new device..I am required to answer two verification questions. Only, i have forgotten the answers to them. Now I am in a situation where I cannot purchase any new apps.

    I have successfully changed my apple id via computer.  Now, how do I change it on my actual phone?  I have the 5.1.1 iphone 3G.

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices. 

  • How 2 Import a CD into Itunes? I only get first few Secs of each track!!

    I have just bought an Ipod and am having trouble importing my Cds into Itunes !!!
    I seem to have the 'intro function' on in Itunes so I can only get the first few seconds of each track !!
    Does anyone know how I can import the complete tracks and how I turn this Itunes intro setting off ?
    Thanks Owen0069

    hi Owen!
    let's try checking up on some of the simpler possibilities:
    You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
    these resources might be helpful with that:
    Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
    toonz: Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive
    ... but if no joy, post back with your itunes "help > run CD diagnostics". one of the clever folk might be able to spot something in those.

  • I have copied my music library from two different files from extewrnal hard drive into the Itunes folder. I tunes only recognizes some of the songs. I have reloaded 5 times and can't get intunes to recognize all my songs? HELP!

    I have copied my music library from two different files from extewrnal hard drive into the Itunes folder. I tunes only recognizes some of the songs. I have reloaded 5 times and can't get intunes to recognize all my songs? HELP!

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

    I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.

    JohnAndKel,
    That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
    (Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

  • I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware).  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
    For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths.  For example:
    Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content. 
    It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
    file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad.  In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
    Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result.  Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
    I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind.  The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • Importing CD's into Itunes Crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_Invalid Address

    Every time I try to import a CD into Itunes it crashes. It started with Itunes 10.2, I then downgraded to 10.0 and then to 9.2. The problem is the same.

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

  • Can't import a CD into iTunes 7.5

    Wow, just tried to import a CD into iTunes 7.5 andam completely unable to do it. I tried dragging and dropping, I tried clicking "Import" in the drop-down menu under "File," and nothing seems to work. In my old version of iTunes there was a big obvious button signifying "import." Now I don't know how to do it. Is this simply operator error (me not knowing the command) or is something wrong with my iTunes installation? Appreciating any advice. Thanks.

    Since the computer does not know that I have a D drive, the DVD/CD rom will not work.

    Ok, obviously no one has a definite answer for this, but I found several different suggestions on the net. I tried all of them, and none of them have worked for me. So I still cannot import CDs with iTunes. Instead, I am now importing CD's with Windows Media Player, which works just fine, then adding all of them seperately to iTunes so I can have the music on my iPod. it takes less time to transfer this way, than to force quit multiple ties over several hours to maybe get one CD imported.
    In case the suggestions of others work for you, I did a google search on "iTunes freezes when importing CDs"- it brought up a lot of pages, with a lot more complaints than answers , but the easiest "fix" was to turn off error correction in your prefences. Since I never had error correction turned on, that didn't help me. The other most cited "fix" was the following link on Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421 . Though I never get an error message (iTunes just freezes), I tried it anyway. Still no success.
    I hope this helps some!

  • Automatically import a CD into iTunes

    Hi, How can I automatically import a CD into iTunes with all versions: AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3 and WAV without needing to import them one format at a time? Thank you, Gabor Fulop

    Thanks for the additional info.  When you say that "The format that these machine need is either MP3, WAV or AIFF" do you mean that they can work with any these formats, or that each has a different requirement - one needs MP3, one WAV, one AIFF, etc?  In the first case I'd just choose the best compromise between quality and portability (which would probably be 320kbps MP3) and use that.
    In the other case, the best you're going to be able to do in iTunes would seem to be:
    Import the CD to iTunes using WAV (this gives you a "master" lossless copy)
    Change the import settings in iTunes to AIFF
    Select the imported songs, right-click and select Create AIFF version
    Change the import settings again in iTunes to MP3
    Select the imported songs again, right-click and select Create MP3 version
    This is still pretty clumsy as you'll end up with three copies (one WAV, one AIFF, one MP3) in your iTunes library - which doesn't, without using right-click > Get Info, allow you to see which copy is in which format.
    I suspect that your needs are probably better addressed using other tools - based on what I'm familiar with (and I'm not claiming these to be the best available), I would:
    use EAC to extract audio data to WAVs - this gives you the WAV version for your backing music
    use Foobar2000 to associate metadata (artist, title, album, etc.) with the extracted data
    use Foobar2000's conversion capabilities (it has plugins or extensions for just about every audio encoding out there, both lossless and lossy) to create AIFF and MP3 versions  - this gives you the AIFF and MP3 versions for your backing music
    import the MP3 versions alone into iTunes (assuming that you want to use iTunes as a media player and to sync content to iDevices) - I've said MP3 here rather than AAC since unless you're using high-end equipment (which, as a musician, I appreciate you might be!) the nominal quality benefits of AAC over MP3 are marginal at best
