Can't burn CD in iTunes v6.0

I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes and now it doesn't recognize my LaCie external DVD/CD burner. I try to look up Advanced Burning under my iTunes preferences and the tab is not listed. When I try to use my Toast software I recieve the message "not authorized to record" or something. All of this worked when I had the old version of iTunes for the past 2 years.
Additional information is I have an eMac with OS 10.2.8
Any suggestions?

Try Patchburn (www.patchburn.de). Download the version for 10.2 and see if it succeeds in letting iTunes recognize your burner.

  • Can't burn CDs in iTunes

    I can't burn CDs in iTunes. I get "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4261). I have tried to reduce the speed - didn't work. I have never had a problem before - but after I downloaded the new version of iTunes, I can't burn. I know the burner works because I can burn using NERO. Please help!

    I'm assuming you have already resolved the issue, but if you have not, I would recommend that you uninstall iTunes completely and remove anything related to Apple on your computer including Quicktime. See this post for what you need to remove: http://mismike.blogspot.com/2008/03/itunes-wont-close-on-windows-xp-sp2.html. Good luck.

  • Device filter Problems, can't burn cds in iTunes, Blank CDs appear to have

    Problem was first noticed because I can't burn CDs in iTunes.
    The problem is that all blank CDs show that they have no space on them available. If I look at the properties of a blank CD, they show 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free and 0 bytes available.
    By removing the upperfilters and lowerfilters in the registry, (accoring to the Microsoft prescribed method for this problem found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060) the problem is solved for my whole sytem except for iTunes. iTunes then tells me that "the registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. ... Please reinstall iTunes."
    I reinstall or repair iTunes and then iTunes opens fine but I can't burn with iTunes or any other program since I am back to all blank CDs showing there is no space available.
    The iTunes toubleshooting Fac found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976 has been tried also and does not change the problem of blank CDs having no space available.

    Same problem here!!! This is driving me crazy. Glad to see it isn't me not knowing what I am doing when a couple of months ago I had no problems now as of last night after trying to burn to a CD I had the exact same issue.

  • Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

    "iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
    I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
    Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
    I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
    Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

    To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
    This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

  • Can't burn CD in iTunes

    I can't burn a CD in iTunes. I know it's not a hardware problem because I just successfully burned a disc of photos using Finder, but every time I try to burn a playlist in iTunes, it hangs during the "Initializing" stage. The drive spins up frighteningly loudly, to the point where it shakes my computer, and stays that way until I start to worry that it's doing damage and try to cancel the burn (which usually doesn't work and I end up shutting down my computer to get it to spit out the disc).
    I've tried all the suggestions in a similar thread over in the iTunes for Windows department, plus others I've found elsewhere: I've reset my PRAM, repaired disc permissions, restarted more times than I can count, set the burn speed lower (8x and 2x), unchecked "Include CD Text" in the burn options. All my software is up to date. The only changes since I last burned a CD (which was probably months ago) have been an iTunes update and getting my failed hard drive replaced. I initially worried that had somehow damaged the burner, but as mentioned above I burned a CD in Finder, so everything seems to be working ok.
    I did discover in System Profiler that if you insert a blank disc, it will tell you the available burn speeds, so here is the information I got from that:
    HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N:
    Firmware Revision: BP10
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
    Cache: 2048 KB

    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO

    Blank: Yes
    Erasable: No
    Overwritable: Yes
    Appendable: Yes
    Write Speeds: 10x, 16x, 24x
    I just tried setting the speed to 16x in iTunes with this exact disc and encountered the same issue.
    Does anyone have any new suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Well, I just tried the troubleshooting tips on this page: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/10/itunes-10-disc-is-not-blank-or-writing-disc-erro r-when-burning-cds/ and I'm now getting the same "media write error" as everyone else -- it spins up loudly, initializes for a while, then jumps to finishing and pops out the disc with the "burn failed because of a media write error." Pretty convinced it's software and not hardware at this point.

  • Can't Burn CD with iTunes

    Hey I can't burn my playlist to a CD. It always says "Checking Playlist", but then when it finished checking the playlist, iTunes just freezes. I tested Windows Media Player to see if it was the Drive or the iTunes and it was iTunes because I could burn a CD using Windows Media Player. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    There is a board for this kind of help. Click iTunes for Windows at the top of the screen and there should be a board called "CDDB\Importing\Burning" and there you should be able to get the proper help. The using iTunes board is for those having actual problems with the iTunes app like losing your sound or even having trouble opening iTunes. I accept that you are new to Discussions, and I suggest exploring a little bit! These discussions take some time to get used to. You'll have it soon!

  • Can't burn or play itunes purchases outside itunes

    I have purchased tracks that I want to burn on to CD. The tracks are in mp4 format and cannot be recognised to play or burn in Nero or Windows Media Player. Can anyone tell me how to combat this problem or am I doomed

    Unless they are 'iTunes plus' purchases which are DRM free, the songs are copy protected. Apple will not allow us to discuss circumventing the copy protection.
    Why can't you burn them in iTunes?

  • Can't burn Disc from iTunes after Microsoft fix

    Okay ... long process to get iTunes working and I am almost there. Here is the saga ...
    I upgraded to iTunes 6.0 and after the upgrade neither of my CD/DVD drives would work. After surfing the internet, I found the solution on Microsoft.com, which was to delete some specific upper and lower filters from the registry and then reboot the computer. I did this and everything worked great. I was able to use iTunes and both my CD/DVD drives worked. But now .... I cannot burn any discs from iTunes, (I can burn from other places), it says,"cannot find recording disc" It will let me upload CDs into iTunes. Here is my CD diagnostics:

    Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel.
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

    hi TwinMom!
    hmmmm. was this the solution you used?
    (MS) CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19, Code 39, or Code 41 after you remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP
    i've seen a few follow up problems after applying that technique ... but usually they tend to involve this error message:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    what you're getting is still consistent with that (in a sense), because you don't have any itunes-related filter entries showing up in your diagnostics.
    so, let's start trying some techniques that have a reasonable track record against that error -43 that's showing up in your CD diagnostics.
    first, try a reboot and repair. reboot the PC (very important), and then do a repair install of itunes. go to your Add/Remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
    does that get rid of the -43?
    can you burn a CD after doing that?
    love, b

  • Can't burn discs in iTunes or like pulling teeth.

    I have posted on this subject a couple times now, and I read that I am not alone in this suffering. I receive the infamous error 4000 when trying to burn "any" music files from iTunes. What really frustrates me is that I can't even burn the music I purchase from "The Store" which as I understand in the user/purchase agreement is my "right"
    I have read through 40 pages of this forum about this issue and I have yet to see a fix for it. Is there a fix? I also see that others who suffer the same fate do not have an answer either. This issue is only related to itunes as I can burn in any other burning software that exists. I have taken many steps through the computer manufacturer (whom is also aware of this issue) only to discover that this is purely an iTunes problem. I have contacted iTunes support directly and have had no response regarding this issue, hence this rant. The only suggestions that I have seen are to alter system files that may or may not work. Why should I or anyone else have to do this when so much other software (for burning CDs) just seems to work?
    I would very much like to continue to use iTunes and by association the iTunes Store as I find this to be a convenient way to purchase music however, what good is it if I can’t burn this “purchased” music which I mentioned is my right.
    The only positive thing for me is that I am a stockholder and have made a few dollars from Apple, so maybe it’s a wash.
    Support for iTunes in Windows appears rather dismal to me right now.

    This is also my NUMBER 1 complaint about this POS ipod and itunes. I paid my money for songs and have the right to transfer these files to ANY format I choose for personal use. NOT ALL OF WANT TO BUY EVRY F'N ACCESSORY OUT THERE TO PLAY ITUNES IN OUR CARS OR ON HOME STEREOS. WE WANT TO BURN F'N CD'S TO USE IN OUR CARS AND ON OUR HOME STEREOS. Someone needs to correct this issue! I F'N bout the file and didnt pirate the file I have the right to use it in anyway i see fit for personal use! Like a dumb *** I went out and bought three ipods for my whole clan . Only to find the nightmare of having to set up three different libraries. Then the three different music libraries makes it were if one buys a song on itunes you cant move this file to another ipod and play it. Only they can or if you make the mistake and buy a song on a different system it wont transfer to your home itunes library.
    AND EVERYONE KNOW THESE PIECES OF **** CRASH AND LOOSE THEIR FILE EVRY OTHER F'N DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    My RANT and what a waste of money this hardware and software is. GOD I WISH WINDOWS WOULD COME OUT WITH SOMETHINGS SO I CAN THROW ALL OF THESE IN THE TRASH!!!!!!

  • Can't burn CD from itunes playlist

    The burn key that is supposed to be at the bottom right of the itunes screen is not there. So I can not burn some selected songs to a CD. Is there a way for me to get the Burn option to show up?

    It shows up when you select a playlist.

  • Can't burn CDs in itunes 7.4.2

    Ever since I downloaded the latest iTunes, I can't burn disks. It writes the tracks and when it starts burning the first song, it just hangs there and nothing happens. I burned a cd using iphoto and it worked. can't find an answer anywhere. I've killed 5 CDs! HELP!

    Good luck. The lesson I learned is 7.3 *****. Apple has not addressed this documented problem noted in this forum starting in June with the release of itunes 7.3 . I have also burned cd's now using toast. Unfortunately when you open that cd in itunes, the tracks are not listed as real names, rather track 1 and so on.
    I have reverted to 7.2, but still cannot burn a cd, and I will not upgrade for a long time until Apple fixes it. I even started in 'safe mode' and tried to burn, no luck. I then installed 7.2 in 'safe mode' and it did not help. Search prior posts for how to revert to 7.2, it's stable.
    Frustrated.

  • Can't burn cd of iTunes music

    Recently I purchased music from iTunes. In the past I have never had a problem burning a cd of the music I have downloaded from iTunes. The download is fine. However, when the computer is in the process of "finishing burning cd" an iTunes error message appears: "The attempt to burn disc failed. The device failed to respond properly unable to recover or retry." I have never had this problem before. Prior to my iTunes purchase I upgraded iTunes to 7.2 (34).

    Have you tried adjusting the burn speed even lower than 12x?

  • Can't burn CD from iTunes playlist because of ERROR "2131"

    Well, as my topic says I can't burn cd's from my playlists. That really suck.

    Thanks for all help!

  • Can't burn CDs in iTunes anymore

    The last few times I've tried to burn a CD in iTunes, I've been unable to. I assemble a playlist and click the burn button, and it gets as far as the "checking playlist" message, then freezes up. I ran the diagnostic test, and I'll paste my results below. I'm able to burn CDs with other programs, but I want to use iTunes because that's where all my music is.
    I've got the newest version of iTunes and am running Windows XP. I'm using Verbatim CD-Rs, which I've used for quite awhile and I've never had trouble before. I'm hoping someone here can help me out, because after spending an hour or more reading articles in the support section of the site, I'm no closer to a fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

It did find an update for the ATA driver and I installed it and restarted my computer, but it didn't change anything. I did a similar update driver search for my CD drive, and it didn't find any updates. I went to Dell's website and did a search for "firmware update" and it gave me way too many results. When I did the same search with my computer model name in it, it didn't give me any. I've had this computer for nearly 5 years, so I'm not sure how to track down any updates I might need.
    3) I tried a Maxell CD and had the same results
    4) I tried resetting the burning speed to both 8x and 4x and it still froze up right after "checking playlist"

    Not onto a video DVD. A data DVD will work, but these will only play in iTunes and are subject to authorization.
