Unable to join tracks using itunes 11.1.5.5

Used to be able to select cd tracks and join them using the "option" drop-down. Now that drop-down only shows "get track names" & "submit CD track names". Any solutions known? Started about a week ago.

Huh? Are you sure?
You cannot highlight a column - if you click on a column, it sorts by that column. Also, the column to the left of the name is a tick-box column, which cannot be sorted or highlighted.
However, the column to the left of that, the one with the numbers in it, as shown in my screenshots, is the track number. If you have clicked on it, you will have reversed the track order and Join CD Tracks will not be available. Look:
But if the number column is clicked again, putting the songs into the correct order, then the Join CD Tracks is there - as explained in my previous post:
Note the direction of the arrow in the number column in each shot.

I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks.

I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks - get track names and submit cd track names. How do I join multiple tracks into one?

Weird, works for me.

How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11? I used to do it with iTunes/Advanced/Join Tracks, but iTunes 11 does not have an "Advanced" button.

How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?

Thanks for your reply, Jim. I imported a CD that I had burned previously with the 2 tracks of sound effects that I had downloaded from the internet (MP3 files), but I did not see an option to join the tracks when I imported the CD. In the upper right corner there were three buttons: Options, CD Info, and Import CD. When I click on Options, the drop-down menu has two choices: "Get Track Names" and "Submit CD Track Names". I cannot find an option to Join Tracks. Help!

How to join tracks when iTunes can't see the CD

I have a convoluted issue.
From this post <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4567334&#4567334> I understand that in order for iTunes to see my CD it needs to be in Standard format. (In my case the files are MP3s and a Windows Executable.... On my windows machine it auto-launched MusicMatch.)
Most of the time, the work-around of selecting the files in the Finder and dragging them to iTunes would be fine.
Unfortunately, the 43 tracks on the CD in question are an audiobook which I'd like to join together as ONE track. From other posts I've read, I understand the only time one can join tracks is when importing from the CD in iTunes.
Since iTunes can't see the CD, is there any other way to join the tracks?
I have several CDs worth of audiobooks and would hate to have 17 gazillion tracks floating around my iTunes and iPod....
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I've found a work-around. It's not exactly a zippy process, but in the end I did end up with a conjoined bookmarkable AAC file rather than 43 separate MP3s.
At <http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/importing-mp3-cds/> I learned more about the settings needed for importing my tracks to iTunes. Unfortunately, using the .m3u file didn't work for me but it may for others. (I suspect it was because the CD was created with MusicMatch in mind, rather than iTunes.)
The FAQ at aldoblog.com gave me my next ray of hope.

Here I found a link to Doug Adam's "Join Together" which can stitch together tracks after they've been imported into iTunes.

I hope this helps someone else trying to do this...

Unable to join tracks

When importing CD's of spoken word/performances the cd is broken into tracks as if they were songs on an album. To correct that I used select "join tracks" and I was then able to import the cd as a single track. All of a sudden that option is gone!!!!! I am using iTunes 11. Anybody know what happened? How to get it back? Is Apple continuing its march off the same cliff Microsoft went over in its own pursuit of stock price and market share; customers be damned?

Unable to add tracks to iTunes 8 (mac os x 10.5.7)

Hello,
I'm unable to add some tracks to iTunes.
I got a playlist, when I drag the tracks to it iTunes will not add them and will not give an alert message.
I saw only previous solutions for PC users that offers a tag remover applications but did not say any for mac (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7818873).
If the same issue, why it wasn't fix in this version?
thanks
shlomit

Ah, these are all files from the same place? Can you tell me anything more about them? Where are these files located? On a separate drive? Have you tried to do "Get Info" on them in Finder? How did your friend copy them? And where from? And you are sure they are MP3 and not WMA ?
(It could after all be the problem mentioned in that other thread - ID3 tags. This would not be a bug, merely an incompatibility. You could ask your friend to copy them again, but this time as simple MP3s with no tags).

Can't find join tracks in iTunes 12

I can't find join tracks option in iTunes 12

Hooray I finally found a solution to join CD tracks for audio books in itunes 12.
It took a lot of exerimenting and reading forums but this is what works for me.
1) Insert disk (obviously)
2) Click on Edit and select select all
3) At this point be sure the CD is not already downloading. If it is click the X on the "Importing" bar to stop the import
4) Click twice on the blank task bar above the track numbers. (left of Name). You need to click twice so that the track numbers are numerical low to high.
5) Go to the Options toggle to the far right on task bar. Click to open and the Join CD Tracks will be listed!
6) Click on Import CD
and voila it works

Delete tracks using itunes is slow

When I try to remove tracks from my ipod touch using itunes, it takes like 15 seconds per track. I dug around and saw there was a fix for mac by deleting a program file. What about for windows 7?
Thanks
Mike

I solved the problem. It was my hard drive all along. It was USB powered, not self-powered, it was also going through a hub, and the simple fact that it's USB. All that made for a painfully slow device.
So the lesson here: never buy USB drives. They're pretty much extremely large FAT-32 flash drives. Or, don't buy USB drives that don't come with a power brick.
If anyone else ever has this problem, now you know.

Joining Tracks whithin itunes.

You can join cd tracks before you import them but you cant once there in itunes or not from a cd. Why?
pc Windows XP Pro

The process of compression to MP3 or AAC adds a blank space to the beginning or end of the file itself. This is sometimes called "encoder gap". If this encoder gap is not accounted for, then combining two compressed files together (even if they're at the same bitrate and such) will still leave a tiny audible gap in the file.
iTunes does not have any support for true gapless playback, and so it would be unable to correct for that encoder gap. Even if it did understand gapless, combining the streams like that is problematic for many other reasons. The only real way to do it is to re-encode them both, which causes a quality loss, so it's a bad idea to begin with.
Whereas joining CD tracks is mainly a matter of ripping them together into one track, which is easy because a "track" is just a marker, it's not an actual change in the datastream.
Suffice it to say that there are technical reasons behind it, and the overriding reason is iTunes lack of proper gapless support.

Cannot scrub tracks using iTunes 9.2.1.5

Whenever I play back anything on iTunes there is only an equalizer showing on the scrub bar with no option to seek or scan within a track, podcast, etc... I have gone through all the option screens but can't figure out how I lost this functionality and how to get it back. Especially annoying when you lose you place in a one hour podcast and the only option is to start over.

I ran into the same issue yesterday and have tried to change the language from English to German. I have restarted iTunes as requested. The weird thing now is: The settings show German, but iTunes still is in English. I have then set the language to French and restarted iTunes and... It was French.... Then I put the settings back to German with the result that iTunes is Englich again. I have no solution and I am curious if this is a programming issue as it seems I am not the only one here from Germany.... Any ideas???

Unable to join Pdf using Preview in Mavericks

The method of merging PDF documents using Preview is not working in Mavericks. When one PDF document is dragged into the sidebar of another it looks like all is well and I can choose "Save As" and give the merged document a new name, but after I close it and re-open the document, all that is there is the last page of the merged document. Nothing else. I've tried several times with different documents, but with same result. I am running OS X 10.9.1 and Preview 7.0(826) on a brand new iMac of 21 inch (Late 2012).

Yes, yes now it is working for me as well!! What actually I was doing was that I was placing the second file just below the "gray line" at the end of the first document. Instead however, It should have been "in between" the end of the first document and the gray line at the end. For this I am thankful to the discusion of VikingOSX response to Cosman dated Jan 2, 2014 4:59 PM VikingOSX. Thnx.

How to find the join tracks option in itunes 11.1

how to join tracks in itunes 11.1

Open iTunes Prefs > Store and select the option for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases."
For some reason this option seems to get unselected.

I bought a used ipod that I'm trying to set it up and it isn't letting me join my home wi-fi network. So I turn it on and I pick language, then country, then my wi-fi network. When I put in my password it says -Unable to join the Network. please help!!!

I bought a used i-pod touch 4 gen that I'm trying to set up. It isn't lettting me join my home wi-fi network. So I turn it on and I pick language, then country , then my wi-fi network. When I put in my password is says - unable to join the network. I have 4 other Apple products that I have that are working fine. Please help

Badunit you said "Continue setting up without the network. You can skip past it, right?"
It sounds like he is setting up the iPod via wif. You can't continue. What yo can do is reset the iPod
- Reset the iOS device.
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then start the setup over again but this time connect the iPod to a computer and set up via iTunes. Then he can troubleshoot the connection proboem.

Where has the Join Tracks command moved to in iTunes 11?

I have installed the latest version of iTunes and began rippng an audiobook. It took me a few minutes to navigate the new interface to figure out how to Join CD Tracks, but the first 10 CDs worked fine, then the last CD had no visible "Join CD Tracks" item on the Options pull dowm. I selected all the items but no 'Join' appears. In searching the online resources it appears iTunes does not think these are joinable, but they are certainly next to one another on the CD I am ripping. Any idea or hellp would be appreciated.
Thanks

Are thre tracks listed in the correct order? If you select a different sort order to the track number (i.e. songs title alphabetical order, by clicking on the top of the name column), then you cannot join tracks.
In the screenshot below (that I took for another post, earlier today);
notice the arrow at the top of the number column. That tells me that the tracks are in track order. If the arrow is pointing the other way, or it's at the top of one of the other columns, you cannot use Join Tracks. In that case, simply click on the top of the number column until the arrow is pointing upwards.

Join tracks option removed in iTunes 11.0.4.4?

I just updated to iTunes for Windows (64-bit) 11.0.4.4 and was trying to rip an audiobook CD. In the past, there was an option under Options, where you select the tracks you would like to join and then the option would appear to join the tracks at the time of ripping.
I don't find this option anymore. I wonder if this option is removed or it is hidden somewhere else?
Bonus question -
- If anyone here rips their audiobooks to m4b, directly from the CD. What applications do you use on Windows 7?
- Is there any other audio ripper, that provides error correction like iTunes and offers joining the tracks at the time of ripping?
Thanks in advance.

With the CD in view and the tracks listed in ascending order select two or more consecutive tracks, then click the Options tool near the top right of the iTunes windows and then Join CD Tracks.
Bonus answer:
See Audiobooks on iPods. While my older audiobooks still exist as playlists these days I tend to use iTunes for the rip (without joining tracks) and then Chapter & Verse to make them up to a single chapterized book as it easier than having to recall which chapter you were up to, but still gives you chaper titles if you want them.
