Hi Neil,
OK, one last try to correct this problem of Importing CD's unmounting
in iTunes 8.0.1. ;o)
From what I can find out searching the Internet, It seems that
cleaning of the "Previous iTunes Libraries" is the solution.
Download & install Onyx v.1.9.9 for Leopard OSX 10.5. or later: < http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
>
1. Under "Maintenance" tab, "Rebuild" subtab, click the following
checkboxes: "LaunchServices" and "dyld's shared cache" and then run
the "Execute" button.
2. Under "Cleaning" tab, "System" had everything checked, "User" had
everything but Audio Units checked, "Internet" had the first four
items checked (Browsers Cache, Download Cache, Browsers History,
Recent Searches), "Fonts" had only "System and Users" checked, "Logs"
had only "Log Files," "System Archived Logs," and "CrashReporter Logs"
checked, and finally "Misc" had everything checked including "Previous
iTunes Libraries" and then run "Execute" again.
Most of those checkboxes were already selected (mostly by default).
It seems that the cleaning of the "Previous iTunes Libraries" is the
solution.
Cheers,
Ronni

Just a follow up - the problem is back :(
Again, it's not a big issue - it's just a case of waiting a few
seconds to
confirm that the import has started before going back to my other
activities
and, if not remounting the disc. But it is a bit annoying!
Cheers

Hi Ronni,
Sorry for the previous premature reply - put it down to a senior
moment ;)
- Yes, I'm using iTunes 8.0.1.
- I hadn't thought of the preferences because it wasn't a problem
that
occurred and then stayed - sometimes lots of discs seem to unmount,
then
sometimes it imports first time for many CDs - I can't seem to see
any
pattern to it.
- However, since you have suggested it, I've given it a go. I had
to go
through the preferences again - not only import settings but also
pointing
it to my music folder (on a separate disc partition) - I had a
minor panic
when it told me it wanted to move things to their correct position
(since
that's where they already were) but that seemed to go OK.
I have since imported a few more CDs with no problem - but given
the nature
of the problem it is too early to know if it is fixed or not.
Anyway, thanks for the idea Ronni - I've got my fingers crossed & I
will let
you know how it is going down the track.
Cheers
Neil
