W7 Have itunes on PC. Tried to import a music CD. Error:

The error message: Registry setting used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVD are missing. Could be the result of using other CD burning software. I also have an HP program Cyberlink DVD suite that I use. It seems I can only use one. What do I do to continue to have access to itunes? Would I have to reinstall it? How? What would that do to the Cyberlink program?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Itunes continues to freeze when i am trying to import my music. I have rough 600gb of music and it continues to freeze on processing album artwork

When trying to import my music (about 600gb worth) itunes keeps freezing on processing artwork. Any ideas on how to maybe bypass the art work? or anything to keep this from happening.

I had the same a long time ago, and the reason why it happened to me was of 1 corrupt mp3 file.
I imported the files in batch (but maybe this will take to long with 600gb of music files) and then found the corrupt mp3 file, after I repaired it with Mp3val everything was alright again

TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

Please help!
My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

My driver is up to date

We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

HT1473 my computer crashed and i have a new computer with new itunes, i am trying to get my music from my old iphone 4 into the library but as soon as i unplug the phone it no longer appears in the library

my computer crashed so i have a new itunes and i am trying to put my music from my old phone into itunes, it doesnt transfer only shows up when my phone is plugged in?

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You shouldcopy everything from your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. This one of the main reasons it has laways been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer.

ITunes Library: Copy items on import for music only (not video)

Hi,
I've just bought a new iPod Touch (and I love it). I'd like some advice on managing my iTunes library though.
At the moment I use an external FW drive for my music (there's a lot of it), and I have iTunes manage that itself. It copies files into the folder on this drive automatically, manages the folder hierarchy, and all is good.
Now, however, I have an iPod Touch, and so need to use iTunes to manage my movie library, which is substantial. Currently I have organised my movies into folders spread across 2 500GB external disks. I'm happy with this setup, but to get these movies onto the iPod, I need to import the movies into iTunes.
So here's my problem. I like the way iTunes manages my music library, and would like it to continue to do so. However, when it comes to movies, I want everything to stay the same as it is at the moment, I can't have iTunes take control of the movies because they're spread over two very big disks, and none of my external drives are large enough to fit everything on (movies + music).
What's the best way to have iTunes continue to manage my music, but to just remember links to the movies on the two other external drives? Also, will I have to be careful about using things like the 'consolidate library' feature because that could really screw things up (trying to move things about when I don't want it to).
Any advice would be much appreciated (I'd love iTunes 8 to have more flexibility and control over libraries, especially distinguishing between movies and music).
Thanks for your advice, it's much appreciated!

No Tom,
I am saying that when no files actually copy to the SAN Volume when in "Copy Files" mode despite the setting being correct (destination is the Library's external media folder).
Original files stay on the portable drive, whatever their nature. But if a file is imported this way and needs optimizing, FCPX does create a ProRes file in an "Optimized Media" folder it creates within the Libray's external media folder.
If I eject the portable drive, files that did not need to be optimized go offline.
At no time does FCPX indicate that it is copying. In the background process window it shows rendering of the waveforms and transcoding when optimizing but there is never an indication it actualy copies the files.

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore nano and received error message 1437 that nano could not be restored.

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore it and error message 1437 said it could not be restored. Any thoughts on how I can sync or restore?

Good day billoelwein,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano being unable to restore, you may want to first try resetting the iPod. See the directions in this article -
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
If the issue is still present after a reset, you may need to restore your iPod nano back to factory settings. See this article -
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

I have Itunes on my PC. I tunes has about 900 songs in it in folder A. I want to take some songs out and put them in Folder B. How do I do that

Hi Jackcedarh,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are looking to do. If you would like more information on how iTunes organizes and keeps track of individual music files, you may find the following article helpful:

Apparently you did not try very hard, since you only tried one store. You can buy MP3s from any online music download store and use them in iTunes/iPod. Use this link => click here.

ITunes Crashed, am trying to import songs purchased from iTunes from burned

My girlfriend just became an iPod Covert and while she was busy making custom playlists for an upcoming party, her system crashed.
She purchased several songs from the Store, and burned them to a CD. Now when she is trying to rebuild her iTunes Library, iTunes will not import her previously purchased songs.
What is the method for getting the songs back into the Library?

Well if it is an audio CD, then the purchased songs have actually...lost there protection. If you using iTUnes to import the CD you can goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import subtab and change the import settings from AAC to MP3, this shouldn't be whats causing the issue tho.
If you have all that set up and you try to import the CD, when you put the CD in it should show up in iTUnes as "Track 1" "Track 2" ect ect because its a personally created CD so iTUnes won't have any info to pull up about it over the net like it would if you put in a store bought CD. If you put the CD in and it shows the track names tho, one of the 2 has happened, either its actually a DATA/MP3 cd or the CD has been put in and someone as manually entered in all the info about each track

ITunes freezes while trying to import CD (spin wheel action)

Occassionally when I try to upload a CD into my iTunes library, it will get part way through and then suddenly freeze, displaying the ever annoying spin wheel. I can't figure out how to cancel the import or quit out of iTunes, eject the CD, etc. I have tried force quitting and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

By any chance, do you have an old copy of MusicMatch Jukebox installed on the PC?
(I've seen one case recently with similar symptoms occuring if the mmjb.exe process from the MusicMatch JukeBox was running while trying to do the import in iTunes.)

If you right click on a son in iTunes and click Get Info. Under the Sorting tab iyo can change how the songs is sorted in iTunes
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
Does the non-syncing songs play in iTunes on the computer?
is there anything different about the songs that do sync and those that do not? Like where they cam from? The format (Get Info>under the File tab).

Newbie, Help! iTunes won't play or import random files - no error message

Have a large library of MP3 files created with Real Audio. All played well in Real Audio or Windows Player. I did a complete unintall of Real Audio, installed ITunes, and while it accepts some of the songs(files), it doesn't accept others. It seems utterly random. There are no differences between the files. All are legit. I do not get an error message, but NOTHING happens no matter what method I employ to play or import the song/file. Have compared file attributes via properties and there is no difference. Itunes is the default player, and I have not reinstalled Real Audio. I just listen to the songs on computer while working, but thought I would try Itunes and get an IPod. Not off to a very good start.

I suppose Real Audio was used, though for sometime I used Iomega to store them on zip disks. It has been a long time. For the CD's that I have on hand, I have been doing what you suggested. This is not easy, as the old files were just all together in one file, and while I thought I had changed settings so that iTunes would do the same (after learning that iTunes puts things in lots of different folders - especially confusing for me with soundtracks with different artists)the last one I did was put in folders entitled unknown/unknown with only track numbers. And if I change anything using explorer, I have to find each file for iTunes again. I'm still struggling, not understanding how these mp3 files are different in some way. Some are from the same CD's. At any rate, now that I am (found your term) ripping these CD's again, is there a way to avoid all the folders and layers of folders? Thank you for your patience. Obviously when my daughters were here to help, me being green was not a problem@
