Unrecognized audio CDs while importing

my ITunes don't recognize tracks of audio CDs. Based on the informtion in some of the threads I created new account and there everything works fine and I can import CDs with their labels. I've deleted the preference files and launch Itunes again but still I can see only tracks without their info (artist, title, etc).
Can anyone help?

I may be having the same sort of problem with my iPOD nano. I have an audio CD set and iTunes fills in the album and individual CD information for some CD's and not others. It's a recorded books set and I ahve no idea why it grabs some of the CD information adn not others.
I didn't understand what you meant when you said "I created a new account etc." I got my REcorded Books CD's from the library (e.g., the public library) not the iTunes store.

  • Audio corrupted while importing

    Hi,
    I always used my Mac connected firewire with my videocamera Samsung VDP-something to import my DV tapes to iMovie. I never had problem.
    Now, after 10-15 min. importing, audio results corrupted (sudden short silences interrupt speaking and sounds). I turn off everything, wait for the devices to cool down, then I turn everything on, rewind the tape and the problem disappeared: audio ok.
    That makes me think that the problem is due to overheating of systems (Mac? Videocam? Both?). Is it true? Is there something I can do to avoid this problem and import the entire tape in one shot (like good-ole-days...) instead of 15min. at a time with long cooling pauses inbetween?
    Has free space on disk (at the moment <10Gb) something to do with this problem?
    Thankz<br>
    PowerBook G4 15''   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Hi Fredrico
    Yes I think You nailed the problem down. <10Gb free doesn't sound good.
    Recomondation is to keep the hard disk with at least 10 % free space and
    a full miniDV tape (about 62 min) will need more than 13 Gb.
    In iMovie I haven't seen any recomondation about size of work-area (free
    hard disk space) but with FinalCutExpress it's said to be about 4 to 5 times
    more than Captured.
    This will rersult in about 50Gb free + 10% of hard disk space for everything to run
    smoothly.
    Sparce space will result in:
    - hard work for hard disk to download (choppy imports)
    - hard work for hard disk to manage virtual memory
    - + of course more heat and secondary heat problematics ???? may be
    - more wear and tear
    I agree with FCE-recomodation.

  • Recording Audio Simultaneously while importing video in iMovie 11

    I need to import live video and record audio simultaneously. Unfortunately I have to select a clip and do voice over and it is not going to be as effective. Is there any way around this?

    Ok
    I tried that but no go.
    In the handy cam viewer as soon as I plug in the cabe it shows HDV out iLink and immediatly changes to HDV in iLink. I assume that the cable is right than.
    I have no possiblety jet to check the cable but it is only 6 months old and not used much.
    The port on the MacBook pro is ok I used a firewire 800 external drive and it shows up an I can browse the disk.

  • Quicktime and Playing Audio CDs - Why Can't I Select the Whole CD to Play?

    I unfortunately agreed to update my Quicktime software when prompted by Apple. Since then, when I try to play audio CDs while working on my Mac, I have to select one song at a time and then select "play" in order to hear it. Now, only 48 hours ago, all I had to do was double click on the audio CD and the whole thing would play with no problem. This is why I am so wary of this so-called "convenient" and "user friendly" update alerts because you never know what the update actually contains and how it is going to change the behavior of your computer!
    Anyone out there in the Mac community know how to fix this problem?

    Would assume most people now use iTunes to import/convert audio files for playback/storage on their computer/iPod and/or burning of custom MP3 CDs which hold on the order of 10 times as much music and are compatible with most current generation CD/DVD players.

  • How do I monitor audio while importing?

    While importing from my cable TV, I Can see the incoming video but caan't hear the audio. I would be helpful if I could here the audio so I could go about my work and keep an ear on the feed. Then I would know when the feed is over without having to Constantly watch it. I suppose I could size the monitor windo real small and put it in the corner of my screen then rearrange all working windows arround it. But that's a pain...

    How do I monitor audio while importing?
    Use iMovie HD or Vidi to import files to your computer. Both allow audio monitoring. iMoveie '08 does not.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Help me!:audio keeps dropping out and coming back in while importing clips

    While importing from my camera (brand new Canon Xl-2) to imovie, the audio from the tape keeps dropping out and coming back in for some reason.This happens with all my tapes. I've tried using a head cleaner and that didn't help. I'm using a Maxtor external hard drive to save the project on. The project itself is kind of big (about 80 GB) Can imovie support projects that large? Could this be a problem with my processor?
    I'm just frustrated beyond belief right now. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    these our my specs: Processor: 800 mhz. Memory: 1GB SDRam. The disk space icon at the bottom of imovie says i have 151 GB of disk space left.

    Hi e
    With a slow computer one has to minimize the hassle.
    I would
    - repair permissions
    - cheque that nothing else is taking resourses from the job (energy saver,
    screensaver, File Vault etc.)
    - I would move material to my ext hd so that I got > 80Gb free (for a 80Gb

    - nothing else connected than my Mac + Camera and import.

    Not sure you can do anything about this. I get vaiable import speeds - a lot depends on the actual disc. The Read Write spec is 24X but I rarely see speeds close to this.

  • ITunes Problem when importing Audio CDs

    Since I updated my macbook pro a fortnight ago, I have been having trouble importing audio cds into iTunes.
    When I insert an audio cd into my superdrive, iTunes opens as normal. I receive a pop-up message that asks if I want to import the contents of the audio cd. I click "Yes" and the audio cd icon immediately disappears from the iTunes devices list.
    I then have to eject the audio cd, re-insert into the superdrive, and I receive the same message in iTunes again. I am able to successfully import the cd the next time.
    When initially importing the cd, if I select "No" when asked if I want to import the cd, I can then select all of the tracks in the Audio cd device list and then I can select "create mp3 version".
    I tried the same procedure on my wife's macbook pro, and iTunes simply freezes and won't proceed. We both updated our macbook pros about the same time.
    If anyone can please offer any insight into this problem, please let me know. I would be most grateful for anyone's help with this issue.
    Respectfully,
    PugetSounder

    No insight I'm afraid, but I have exactly the same problem as the first one you describe. I don't think it happens every time, but most times the first insertion of the CD is as you describe - iTunes asks if I want to import, I click "Yes", and the CD disappears from the left hand column in the iTunes display. When I eject and re-insert, it always works. This must be a bug in iTunes. Can anyone explain it? This is on a MacBook using the latest software - but I don't think there has been an update in the last month (maybe I just forgot).

  • Transitions do not render Audio / no audio while importing from cam / etc.

    hi - i still have problems with the latest iMovie HD 6.0.2. (267) on my brandnew 17" iMac (Intel) 1-GB-RAM, (QT WITHOUT any 3rd-party-SW)
    1. the build-in transitions (soft/smooth, overlay) dont render the AUDIO-file.
    it takes NO effect (only the images do)
    2. by importing clips from the camera i cannot hear AUDIO the same time
    (by replaying the importet clip audio is available/imported)
    3. the sharpening filter can't show a preview - the effect/s will only appear AFTER rendering.
    any idea?
    Mike

    As others have noted, the audiolevels are as they are when you record. If you need good audio on your video, you need to make sure the levels are ok while you record!
    That is, not to low, and not clipping.
    On most pro setups, the audio is controlled by a seperate person, or you have mics with microports on the speaking person(s) that are adjusted before the actual recording starts.
    Too low audio tend to give a lot of noise, and to high audio make clippings when digitized, making distortions.

  • Importing Audio Cds

    Hello, I am trying to import my audio CDs into my ITune library and instead of importing as whole albums some are importing as individual tracks. Can anyone help please? Also what is the best format to import an audio CD? Thanks

    iTunes will rip as individual tracks matching the layout of the CD. At the time of import you can override this by highlighting a set of consecutive tracks and using the "Join CD Tracks" option.
    Also what is the best format to import an audio CD? Thanks
    Most people use either AAC or MP3 at 256 kb/s. If you will be using your tracks a lot outside of Apple devices, MP3 has much wider applicability.

  • CD/DVD Problems w/7.3: Error 261 - DVD Backup & Not Recognizing Audio CDs

    Hello,
    Since updating to iTunes 7.3 I have had issues with:
    1) iTunes recognizing an Audio CD - so I cannot currently import from CDs. This goes for Windows too in Windows Explorer; I get an I/O issue error
    2) iTunes making a backup DVD - I receive the iTunes error 261 with a fresh disk; however, my Picasa photo program quickly created a photo backup DVD.
    Windows does successfully recognize a CD-ROM. Toshiba, my notebook manufacturer (Model M35-S456) does not recommend any chipset updates. I checked Intel's site (Chipset is 855PM - I/O controller is 82801DMB (ICH4M)) and it really seems like overkill to mess around with this since the issue appears linked to install iTunes 7.3.
    I have followed troubleshooting suggestions and submitted my diagnostics (to assisting Apple determine drives that are having problems) at the following post - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93444

    simple : you put itunes application in a folder. then you reinstall itunes 4.7 for example. then put 4.7 at the end of itunes application name, same with itunes 5. then drop each of them in the dock. decide where you want to have all the playlists so you don't have to switcha ll the time between them. then when you need to listen to a cd or import mp3, you launch itunes 4.7. then the unknown artist folder in your home folder/music will be placed in a music folder somewhere on your HD. create playlist from this folder.
    then you activate itunes 5 for ipod sync or any other purpose. when itunes 6 will be finally updated, you remove itunes 5 and the home/music files of itunes 5, then reinstall the new itunes 6, which will normally take over the playlists of 4.7.
    apple makes it not simple but more and more complex so it has the greatness of sophistication and class but the weakness of complexity and bugs ! hope this does not last !
    thanks for the beer, send it thru internet !

  • Listening to mp3 cds without importing

    I know that itunes doesn't mount the disk as it would an audio disk (unfortunate). So given that, is there a script, or other method, that can help me listen to mp3 disks without leaving orphaned files in my library?
    The real issue is that there is limited disk space on the computer, therefore I want to keep the files on the disk only - having access to those files ONLY when the disk is inserted.
    (One of the other issues in this scenario is that even if I could deal with the orphaned files while the disk is not inserted, when the disk IS inserted again, the songs are not automatically re-linked. I know this is just the way itunes works, but it's also unfortunate.)
    Anyone have any help with this? Does the scripting library allow for a workaround?
    Thanks.

    1. If you simply play tracks from a CD, iTunes does not add these to its Library in any way shape or form - this only happens if you import as well as playing. You can use iTunes as a simple player if you want, but the tracks will be missing from its Library of course, as with any CD from your collection unless you ripped it.
    Thanks, but that functionality only works for Audio CDs.
    2. If you import but use the option 'Do not add tracks to iTunes Music folder' then as you say, the tracks will remain orphaned (this is why I use iTunes to keep all my music centralised).
    And this is my problem exactly.
    3. If you play tracks from a hard drive or non-optical drive, you could bypass iTunes altogether and use the Finder Preview option to play them (in Column View you get a slider and minimal play / pause controls); you could also use QuickTime or VLC to play them. I think you can even do this with a CD, even after iTunes has launched - simply go back to Finder.
    While I appreciate this possibility as a workaround, it's really not going to be sufficient for me in my quest to make iTunes work for the MP3 disks.
    For those still reading this and willing to offer some scripting help: I discovered something that gives me hope...
    In Automator, there is an item called "Filter Sources in iTunes". Within that, you can select "Kind"-"Is"-"MP3 CD". I can't seem to get this to filter my MP3 disk items, but it gives me hope that there might be a way via scripting to get a workaround.
    Does anyone have any advanced iTunes scripting skills that could shed some light on this for me?
