Burned CDs from iTunes purchases play in some stereo units and not others

My car stereo has no problems playing CDs I've recently burned from itunes purchases. My wife's car stereo can't! She doesn't have an ipod dock in her 9 year old car so it's CDs or nothing. Anyone have any ideas why the discs won't play in her car but do play on every other CD player (including my PC) that we own?
Her car stereo has no issues playing other CDs, including CDs I've burned from itunes which were originally uploaded from CDs by me.
It seems to be the most recent three purchases from itunes that are the problem. Do I need to convert the AAC files back to MP3 before burning or some other clever cheat?
Thnx in advance

Thnx for the comments Chris CA.
Yes, Audio CD is selected when I burn the CDs.

Burned DVD plays on some DVD players and not others

Hello all,
First, please forgive my ignorance because I do not work with video much and have no idea what I'm doing. Someone created a video that I need to burn so the DVD can play on any DVD player. The folder is titled "VIDEO_TS" and then the files within it have the following extensions: .BUP, .IFO, .VOB. with VIDEO and VTS as the prefixes. the largest file has a .VOB extension. The master disk is a DVD-R and I burned the video on a Verbatim DVD-R which played fine on my MAc, a PC and two DVD players. However, I tried it on two other DVD players and it could not be played. So now I'm trying to figure out how I can created a DVD that will be compatible with any DVD player or create an alternate version that can be played on the machines that currently can't play the DVD.
Does all of that make sense? I've been all over the internet and seen different suggestions for similar problems but I don't want to spend money or waste time trying different tactics that won't solve my problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
This is a question very familiar in iDVD forum. I use to answer like this.
• Brand of DVD used matters - I only use Verbatim (more organic dye in these) - but there are other GOOD Brands
• DVD-R - plays on more DVD-players than DVD+R as it plays on even older DVD-players (DVD+/-RW - don't even think of it)
• BURN SPEED - is a major contributor to this problem - I never go faster than x4 - I use as standard x2
There are two kinds a blanc DVD can be burned as
• DATA-DVD - Files from DeskTop just stored on a blank DVD - few DVD-players can play this (only very very new ones and they are rare - if I'm rightly informed)
• Video-DVD - a DVD-authoring program is a MUST. iDVD, DVD-Studio Pro, Burn, Roxio Toast etc etc
I'm told that Compressor can do this - I never got it to deliver a Playable-DVD - BUT THIS IS DUE TO MY NEGLECT !
So when iDVD or Toast creates this very special structured DVD - You find the two (must be there) folders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS (empty) - and if the DVD-player don't find this = it will not play.
Yours - very happy with iDVD and Toast (and DVD-Studio Pro - but this is hard to get right) - Bengt W

IDVD created DVD plays on some DVD players and not others, HELP!

Hi everyone,
I just finished a huge wedding photo montage and burned it using iDVD to a standard DVD-R. I popped it into a Sony home DVD player and all went well, and looked great. Next I tried the DVD in a Mintek portable DVD player (so it's easier to take to the wedding and connect to the LCD projector) and the DVD is not recognized. I tested another computer burned DVD (from a wedding video that was burned on a PC) in the mintek and it does work. I also tested the mintek using a standard store bought DVD movie and it worked fine.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening? I've browsed through the prefs for iDVD in search of some "compatibility" options but there aren't any.
The wedding is Saturday so I'm really hoping to get this sorted out quickly.
BTW I'm using the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-815 (the one that came standard in the original 1GHz, 17" Powerbook)
Thanks everyone!

Your problem is the Mintek portable DVD player.
Some older DVD players will not play the newer burned media.
This is by design to force conusmers to always upgrade and update there equipment to stay a head of the technology curve.
I had the same problem with a 2 year old stand alone player wouldn't play anything I burned. It would play on other computers and on newer stand alone players but not on a 2 year old player. (VERY FRUSTRATING) I bought a new cheap stand alone and quess what , All was good it played.
There are different codes that are on these players that distingish the players capability.
Good Luck.

Burning cds from Itunes

Cannot burn cds from itunes purchased cds or itunes playlists

Hi Queenv77,
Whether or not the track infomation shows up on a burned CD depends on if you are creating an Audio CD or an MP3 CD; track information is not available on audio CDs. The following articles have more information regarding burning CDs from iTunes:

Making MP3 CDs from iTunes purchases.

My car can read MP3 CDs and I don't recall having this issue with the old iTunes software but it could be coincidence.
Anyway over the past several months I've been using XM since my MacBook Pro with Retina display doesn't have a CD Burner on it. Well a buddy of mine gave me his old super drive so I decided to burn an MP3 CD but I was greeted with the message, "MP3s can only be added to MP3 CDs" or something along those lines. I noticed that it was my iTunes purchased songs wouldn't convert to be added to the CD.
What's the easiest way to fix this problem?

An "MP3 CD" is really nothing more than a data CD. There's nothing special about it except that all the files on it are MP3s. Tracks purchased from the iTunes Store are not .mp3 files; they are AAC files with an extension of .m4a.
You can cross convert an AAC file to MP3, but you should be aware that you will be losing quality that may affect what you hear. Before you do this check the manual for the head unit in the car and see if it also reads AAC files. If it does you'll be able to burn a data CD with the iTunes Store purchases, no problem.
To convert AAC to MP3, in iTunes 11, open iTunes prefs > General and click Import Settings. Change the import settings to what you want them to be. OK out of the dialogs. Find the tracks you wish to convert in the iTunes Library, highlight them, right-click (or Control+click) and choose "create MP3 version." This will create a new tracks that can now be burned to an "mp3 cd."

Got this weird problem that I havent come across in any other postings. When I try and burn a cd from iTunes it completes burning apparently ok. But when I test back the cd all the track points have slipped so they're not at the start of each tune as they should be. It even cuts off a fraction of the first tune. This must corrupt the cd in a way as altho it plays okay on PC it doesnt play on my hifi cd player anymore, which it used to do. When I say used to, the only difference i can think of is that I have my itunes library on an external drive now (as you can see from my diagnostics). I burned cds fine when the library was on my c drive. Maybe this is coincidence, I dont know. If this is the problem how i can get mend it? Thanks.

If I'm guessing correctly, you've successfully burned an Audio CD. Use a program taht reads Audio CDs (iTunes, MusicMatch, Windows Media Player, etc.), and you'll be fine.

Invoice Splitting - for some shipping points and not others

Dear Gurus, I have a requirement where for some shipping points I need to be able to split an invoice on sales order (i.e. a separate invoice for each customer order) and for other shipping points I require a single invoice for multiple customer sales orders. Using the copy control rules for LF to F2, I have set the Refence Number to B but this does not achieve what I want. Would it be possible to achieve this via a copy requirements routine and by setting the values in VBRK-ZUKI? Do I just copy the standard 003 routine and apply my changes here? If yes, where do I insert the code - the top or bottom? Regards

In VOFM, first of all "Copying requirements" are used when we want to stop creating a target document from a source document or to prevent certain items from copying to target document under certain conditions. Copying requirements can't be used to do invoice split.
Data transfer routines are the ones that allow invoice split (in addition to allowing copying fields from source to target). Although "copying requirements" is a loosely used terminology, it is important we make distinction between copying requirements and data transfer routines as both are different and perform different functions.
SAP uses field VBRK-ZUKRI (a 40 character field) to store the combination of field values that are used as basis of invoice split. Invoice split happens if any of the fields stored in VBRK-ZUKRI differ across orders/deliveries (or their items) from which invoices are created.
We assign VBRK-ZUKRI during item copy control in data transfer routines. The fields are simply concatenated and assigned to VBRK-ZUKRI.
in VOFM, "Data transfer" routine 003 for Billing documents for example splits the invoice for each reference document, as shown by code below
Include FV60C003
*       For each reference document an invoice is created
FORM DATEN_KOPIEREN_003.
DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
          MODUL(3) VALUE '003',
          VTWEG LIKE VBAK-VTWEG,
          SPART LIKE VBAK-SPART,
          VGBEL LIKE VBRP-VGBEL,
        END OF ZUK.
ZUK-VTWEG = VBAK-VTWEG.
ZUK-SPART = VBAK-SPART.
IF KURGV-PERFK = SPACE.
    ZUK-VGBEL = VBRP-VGBEL.
ENDIF.
VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
ENDFORM.
In the above coding we are concatenating VBAK-VTWEG (Distr channel), VBAK-SPART (Division), VBRP-VGBEL (Reference Order from billing item) as the criteria for invoice split. So if any of these field differ then it will cause a split. So basically we are creating one invoice for all items that reference a single order
So what you need to do for your requirement, is to copy the logic of data transfer routine 003 in VOFM to your own custom 9XX routine and make the assignment to ZUK / VBRK-ZUKRI only when shipping point (LIKP-VSTEL) is not equal to certain values that you don't want split to happen. It is better to maintain those shipping points in a custom table and make the check on the table rather than hard coding, so that in future it is easy to add more shipping points or remove existing ones if needed.
Also remember to assign the new data transfer routine number 9XX to all relevant item categories in VTFL for your target billing type and reference delivery type

Burning CDs from iTunes Playlist

After the burning process is complete and I test the burnt Cd for playback; I get the message "you have inserted a blank disc" I am using blank audio cds that have been ok in the recent past. Can anyone help please?

You will probably want to check out the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60784
It should answer most of your questions very thoroughly.
With regard to your question about the iTMS music contained on the audio CD, the DRM is removed when you burn purchased/protected content to audio CD. You are limited in terms of how many times you can burn the same playlist when purchased/protected content is part of it, etc.

EPrint servers accept jobs from some email addresses and NOT others

I have an HP Photosmart Premium C410b which works a treat apart from when I try to use ePrint. I use my own (register.com hosted) domain email address for nearly all of my email. And when I send emails to @hpeprint.com I get the following bounce back :
Delivery status notification
We're sorry; your message to "[email protected]" has failed. The recipient's mail server responded with: "Diagnostic-code 550 - (5.7.1 Command rejected)". Please check the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces and resend. Thank you.
So then I added my backup googlemail account as an 'allowed sender' and it works perfectly. I have even tried to do this with 'everyone' allowed to send to hpeprint still same problem. (i.e.. works for @googlemail.com but not my main personalised domain email).
It sounds like the hpeprint email server / firewall is rejecting my personalised domain email address. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem.

Hi all,
We are aware of this issue and are working on a fix to implement in the near future.
This is because some of the email from some certain are incorrectly identitifed as spam mail by the server.
Thank you for your patience.

HT5500 The facebook app stays installed and it's greyed out. When I go to redown load it from itunes, it just has an open tab and not a install tab. help

After I upgraded tothe IOS 6 operating system on my iphone 3GS I lost several of my apps. They don't show up anymore. I tried to reinstall them again using itunes, but they just show an "open" tab instead of an "install" tab. When I click open, it brings up the app. I can't figure out how to install the app on my phone again. Help....When I look at my phone the apps are there under settings but not on the phone as an app.

Look at the various screens on your iPhone, the app is there somewhere. Don't forget to also look in folders.

Adobe Reader prints some PDF's and Not others

Hi
I can successfully print some pdf files but there are two that I cannot print. the one I am having problems with is 24 pages and I cannot print this as singles pages or as a booklet. I can print the file from another machine. I though it was maybe because I was still on Reader X so I upgraded it to the latest Reader XI but that didn't help either. On the machine that can print the file it will flatten all 24 pages then print them. On the machine that can't print the file it starts to flatten the first page but when it hits 95% it crashes Reader. It doesn't matter if I am trying to print all 24 pages or 1 of the 24 pages it still crashes. But other PDF files print normally.

My next guess would be HD-DVD, which is also not properly supported on the Mac. If there's some special extra form of copy protection, I suppose this could also present an issue. I've heard of that on CDs, but not DVDs. Another possible issue is if the discs are from a different region coding than your own. Imported DVDs can often have such region coding. Lastly, burned DVDs of pirated content often won't play because of broken copy protection duplication or if the content lacks the original menus on the original DVD.

Burning CDs from I-tunes

When I burn CDs from Itunes, and rip them to my other PC, the track names and other info dont transfer? How can I resolve this issue?

If you want track names to display when you're playing a cd, go to Preferences > Advanced > Burning > Check Include Cd Text. I don't believe these info will carry over if you created a MIX cd, however. If it's just a copy of a commercial cd and such, it may find it, however.
