Uploading CDs to iTunes problem

Occassionally when uploading a CD, iTunes will create two albums instead of one. This occurs if the artist has a track where they sing with another artist. iTunes seems to think this is a different album and creates one with just the one track on it. This is very annoying. Is there any way to merge the two albums together?

You need to change the artist so that it's the same for every track on the album. Usually, when I find an album like this, I add the guest musician to the track title and remove it from the artist field.
Make sure that the artist name is exactly the same for all tracks or you will continue to have multiple albums.

  • I have uploaded cds in itunes but they wont sync iver to i phone.  Can you help

    I have uploaded cds to itunes but they wont sync over to iphone.  Can you help

    Hi,
    the question is: does it play unter iTunes on your computer? If yes, then you have to convert the video in an iPad compatible format. You can do that within iTunes. Under iTunes click on the left side on "Movies" and find your video. Select it. Then find in the menu bar "Advanced" and the menu point "Create iPad or Apple TV version". Your computer will do the rest. When finished you should have two versions of the video, the original version and the new iPad version. Feel free to delete the original version, if you don't have any other need for it. The iPad version will play fine on your iPad.
    If your original video doesn't play under iTunes, you have to convert it to a Quicktime format first. In this case, please give us more details on the format your original video is stored in.

  • Uploading Cds to Itunes

    I just received an Ipod and I have been trying to upload my CDs to Itunes. I put a CD in and Itunes does not read the disk I have tried several CDs.

So then I went and bought a new CD drive for my comp. I installed it and Itunes is not reading my CDs can somebody please help. thank you

    You say you have looked at Apple help, but in case you haven't seen them, here are a couple of links.

    While you are sorting things out, do have another media player such as Windows Media Player or RealPlayer? If the CD drive works with them, you can save your CDs using them, if you make sure you save in MP3 format they can be added to iTunes.

  • Uploaded cds onto itunes, have brought a new ipod and cant seem to transfer them onto it?

    Please help me, I have hundreds of cds and cant find a way to do it unless I upload the cds again individually

    So you are saying that some songs do sync to the iPod from this iTunes library, right?
    What is the source of the non-syncing songs? What is the format? Is it different from the songs that do sync?

  • Slow uploading CDs to Itunes

    It's taken me three hours to upload one CD to Itunes. Prior to my upgrade to Iphone 4S and the upgrade of Itunes and Iphone software, uploading was at a normal speed.  How to I change so that the speed goes faster than 4X?
    Thanks for all your help.

    Hi,
    Try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling it. You will not lose anything. Before you do that, make sure you back up your phone. Tell me if this works.

  • HT4914 how do i add CDs to Itunes Match without the slow uploading process?

    Uploading CDs to itunes is really slow. i just want the CDs I have to be available in iTunes at the regular iTunes quality. I can't find any settings to enable this. Has anyone figured out how to?

    Hello jamie,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes Match. 
    If iTunes determines that the songs that are on the CDs you are importing are in the iTunes Store, it will match the songs rather than uploading them.  If iTunes is unable to locate the songs in the iTunes Store, it will need to upload the songs so that you can access the songs on other devices:
    How iTunes Match works.
    iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 37 million songs in the iTunes Store, chances are your music is already in iCloud.3 And for the few songs that aren’t, iTunes uploads what it can’t match (which is much faster than uploading your entire music library).
    Additionally, you can force iTunes to scan your library once you upload new music to your computer:
    What if I add new music to my library?
    Do I need to tell iTunes Match to scan it?
    No. iTunes Match will automatically rescan for content, so you don’t have to. But you can force a refresh by choosing Store > Update iTunes Match in iTunes.
    Find this information and more at the following link:

  • I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

    I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

  • My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem.

    My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • How to transfer files from my ipod classic to itunes on a new computer? I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.

    I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.
    now I have a new computer - andI want to transfer those files to my itunes.
    BUT I can only transfer music I bought through the Apple store.
    That's WRONG!
    I spent money on cds - yes I'm old fashioned.
    I want to listen to audiobooks on my CD so that's how they were recorded onto itunes and sync'd to my ipod.
    Now it's a waste if I press the sync button!
    I spent hours downloading cds to itunes on the other computer - which I will be getting rid of soon.
    Please help.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Device filter Problems, can't burn cds in iTunes, Blank CDs appear to have

    Problem was first noticed because I can't burn CDs in iTunes.
    The problem is that all blank CDs show that they have no space on them available. If I look at the properties of a blank CD, they show 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free and 0 bytes available.
    By removing the upperfilters and lowerfilters in the registry, (accoring to the Microsoft prescribed method for this problem found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060) the problem is solved for my whole sytem except for iTunes. iTunes then tells me that "the registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. ... Please reinstall iTunes."
    I reinstall or repair iTunes and then iTunes opens fine but I can't burn with iTunes or any other program since I am back to all blank CDs showing there is no space available.
    The iTunes toubleshooting Fac found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976 has been tried also and does not change the problem of blank CDs having no space available.

    Same problem here!!! This is driving me crazy. Glad to see it isn't me not knowing what I am doing when a couple of months ago I had no problems now as of last night after trying to burn to a CD I had the exact same issue.
