Hi Neil,

Are you using iTunes 8.0.1?

Try -  Quit iTunes.
Then move com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist from your Home Library/Preferences folder onto the desktop.

Restart iTunes & see if you can import a CD without any problems.

You will probably get the iTunes Assistant dialogue box as you start iTunes. You might find you have to set your Import Preferences again - iTunes > Preferences > General - "When you insert a CD:" - Import Settings.

If there isn't a problem anymore, trash the plist files on your desktop.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi all,

(Itunes 8, Leopard 10.5.5, 24" 2.4 GHz iMac, 4GB RAM)

Anybody else getting this problem:

- insert CD
- queries Gracenotes CDDB correctly & gets track info
- asks me if I want to import CD to iTunes (as per my prefs)
- I hit yes button

OK to this point, consistent and as it should be, but:

- sometimes iTunes goes ahead and imports OK
- other times the CD just unmounts - ie it doesn't mount in iTunes and when
I check in finder it's not mounted

Now it's not a huge problem, I leave disk utility running if I'm importing CDs and if I check there - the disc is showing as "Audio CD" but unmounted - I then mount it and the iTunes dock icon bounces - switch back to iTunes and I again have the "do you want to import this CD into iTunes" box - hit Yes
again and this time it imports OK.

I can't see any pattern to whether the CD imports first time or has to be
re-mounted via disc utility & then imported.

Before my current session of re-importing my CDs it had been quite a while since I had done any - so I'm not sure if this problem is new to Leopard or
iTunes 8 or either/both?

Anybody else seeing this or have any ideas?

Like I say, not a big problem - I just don't like it when it doesn't "just
work" !!


Cheers


Neil
