Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / October 2004ibook won't read audio cds - help!
I've added an external firewire disc to increase the disc space for my itunes. However, in doing so, copying itunes folders and libraries and deleting old ones, i have lost the ability to read audio cds: I get "There are no volumes on this CD that can be read by OSX etc" messages. It's fine if I reboot in OS9, and CDROMS are OK. Any ideas? many thanks for any advice. > I've added an external firewire disc to increase the disc space for my > itunes.

There is a right way to move your library, so perhaps there are wrong ways. Since iTunes is responsible for playing audio CDs, and since that is the only thing that has failed, it sounds like you may have disabled iTunes or confused it in some way. Or you confused your computer's ability to find iTunes (look in your CDs & DVDs preference pane). m.

It's free and smart. http://www.tidbits.com Matt, thanks for this - and I apologise for not responding to your question earlier, ie before posing this question on another group - rather rude, I know, but I had forgotten I had used this one! I think you have hit the nail on the head, and I dare say that I have gone about things the wrong way. I suspect in the light of your comments I ought to reinstall itunes and see if that helps. I can;t remember the exact sequence of events regarding the movement of files now, but am grateful to you for drawing my attention to the cds and dvds prefs panel, which I had completely overlooked. I will report back. I promise you that, and thanks again. |
