Im trying to burn a cd but its saying disc recording not found

I used to be able to burn cd and play them on itunes but now its not working and says either disc recording not found or please enter blank disc even though i have entered a blank disc

I actually solved this problem myself.  I discovered, while playing around with the new iTunes, that clicking on PLAYLISTS on the menu bar shows the playlists that I have created on the left side of the window (like the old iTunes used to do by default).  I scrolled down to the playlist I wanted to burn to a CD, right-clicked on it, and a menu came up.  I selected DOWNLOAD....this downloads my playlist songs from the cloud to my computer hard drive.  After that, the little "cloud pictures" next to my songs disappeared, and I was able to burn the CD with no problems.
I hope this helps someone else....I was quite lost for a while.  Which is amazing, considering how user-friendly most Apple products have historically been.

  • Trying to burn a cd but getting a message disc recording not found.

    I am trying to burn a cd from a playlist, but I keep getting a message that says 'Disc Recording not found'. Also when I start itunes an error message appears that says "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing cds and dvds are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, and also repairing and nothing has worked. I have not installed any cd burning software. How can I fix this problem??

  • Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.

    Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. My main hard drive only has a few hundred Mb left on it so i bought a 1 Tb external hard drive and want to know how to make iDVD use the space on the external hard drive instead trying to use the main hard drive. Any help would be awesome! thanks

    Hi
    Yes - This is important.
    Free Space - Must be on the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk and can not be used on any other.
    My safe level is a minimum of 25Gb free space - to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK.
    This is due to that Mac OS X is in reality UNIX and there by needs lot's of temporary space for temp. files and so does the application iDVD. And this can not be addressed elsewhere.
    So to free up space - one thing is to move iMovie Events to an external hard disk BUT THIS MUST BE DONE Right Else all can be lost ! !
    • Never move or adjust any folders Named - iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - on Desktop/Finder - links will breake and can be hard to impossibly to heal. ALL movings must be done within iMovie Application (it goes for iMovie'08 to 11)
    • External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will NOT WORK FOR VIDEO - nearly everything else BUT NOT VIDEO.

  • TS4036 My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
    Then navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • I deleted my itunes library (after backing up) now i want to restore from TM to my MBA but its saying there is not enough room even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

    Hi everyone,
    I deleted my itunes library (after backing up to my time machine) to download a large torrent,  now i want to restore my itunes library to my MBA from time machine but its saying there is not enough room on my MBA even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

    Here's something else to consider:
    Since Snow Leopard, OS X uses a Decimal count for file size. iTunes however still uses a Binary count. What that means is: your iTunes library shows one size, while the folder shows another. Depending on the size of your library, this can be a pretty big difference.
    Yours won't be that much, but it may be enough to prevent it from moving to the MBA from the TM.

  • Can't burn cd from iTunes - 'disc recording not found'

    Help!? Have tried to troubleshoot this for days. Have successfully burned cd's in the past...now I just get 'disc recording not found' in message box at the top of iTunes. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks.

    Hi, new to forum - and, like Vikki, I cannot burn a disc from a playlist on my iTunes. Have done so successfully many times in the past. I, too, am getting the flashing 'disc recording not found' in the box at the top of the iTunes page. I have tried so many ways without success. Help??

  • Cannot burn songs to CD  disc recording not found

    Our PC is Windows XP SP2. I have I-Tunes 7.0.2. I have created a playlist of 1.1 hours of songs and attempting to burn to a 74 minute CD and when I click BURN I get a flashing message of disc recording not found. I have not burned any CDs since I have upgraded to this release. I have also tried another new blank CD with the same message. Any ideas ?

    I have the same message pop up and found out the recording software was removed and I have to reinstall itunes. Do you have any other recording software on your PC? I added WMP and I think that removed it from my itunes. Wish someone would tell us about this nonsense before we do things like that.

    I can't burn my cd - I get the following message:  "disc recording not found"?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
