Upgraded to v. 6.0.1, can no longer burn CDs.  Details below.  Please help!

Like many other users, I can no longer burn CDs since my recent upgrade to version 6.0.1. I was able to burn CDs with no problems before this upgrade, but now when I click "Burn Disc", iTunes freezes with no error message. I have to exit out using Ctrl-Alt-Del, as iTunes is not responding.
I have a Gateway Profile 4 with Windows XP Pro. CD diagnostic info is below for both blank and recorded CDs.
Please help this frustrated user!!!!

The answer is in the diagnostic! Go to the Toshiba site (I've been so nice and found the link for you!)

Try updating your drives firmware. Click 'Firware Updates' on the right hand side of this page, then follow the instructions and download the update, then install. See if that helps. Its worth updating the firmware anyway :P

    I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists.  The songs are now formatted as m4a, which might be making them unreadable by my CDs, although this never used to happen before.  Can you help?  Thanks very much.

    After you select Burn, you need to select AudioCD in the pop-up window.

  • I can no longer burn CDs  - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try slower speed, try another make of disc"  Still doesn't work

    I can no longer burn CDs  - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try a slower speed, try another make of disc"  Tried that, still doesn't work.

    Try a free burning utility which allows you to turn off the laser for test burning (so you don't waste media).  Try burning a test CD outside of iTunes.  If it works it's iTunes. If it doesn't work it could be computer software or hardware but then we know how to proceed.

  • Can no longer burn cds?

    I recently upgraded Itunes and now it says i can't burn cds from my Itunes store purchases.
    Why is this please? Does this mean that I can no longer keep copies of my Itunes music on CDs to use on another system?
    I would appreciate some enlightenment for this please.

  • HT5312 My recovery email is no longer in use, as it hasn't been used for sometime, and now seems to have 'expired', and I do not even recall being asked the security questions,so I can no longer download certain games. Please help.

    I cannot download certain games because I do not recall the answers to my security questions when it asks if I am 17 years or older. In fact, I do not even recall being asked these security questions.
    I tried to guess logical answers but now my iPad is threatening to lock me out. My second email is no longer in use as it has not been used for years and has seemingly expired.
    Can you please help?

    If you don't have access to your rescue email account, or you don't have one on your account (an alternate/secondary email address is a different setting/address), then you will need contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset (you won't be able to change/add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions)
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update/add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can no longer burn CDs in iTunes

    I have successfully been burning CDs in iTunes until recently. I can now no longer burn an audio CD. The CDs I am using are the same as before (CD-R, same make etc) and I am trying to burn albums purchased through iTunes. No error message comes up, it just doesn't burn. I have the latest version of iTunes loaded but can't remember when I loaded this. Perhaps my problems have occurred since then? Can anyone help?

  • Can no longer access Graphite Base Station, Please help

    For no apparent reason, my DP 800,10.4.11 can no longer access my Graphite Base Station. For years I have had no problems.
    But this morning I lost access to my base station. I entered the PW as usual, but it did not allow access. I verified the PW in Keychain (and the base station name), but again I struck out. The machine is otherwise fine (or so it seems).
    I have done the following, all unsuccessfully:
    • Shut down with cold restart
    • Zapped PRAM
    • Safe Booted
    • Created a new account/User
    • Ran DiskWarrior
    • Rebooted Base Station
    • Reverted to a week old backup, still no joy.
    I can successfully connect to the base station with my iMac, so I am certain the base station works.
    I know nothing about this stuff, but it now seems the problem is with the Airport card inside the DP 800. Is this likely?
    What if anything else can I do to either isolate the problem, or better yet, fix the problem?

    Some things to try:
    Create a new Location in System Preferences > Network. (Start from scratch; don't do it by modifying an existing Location.)
    Turn off WEP encryption on the base station.
    Physically move the base station and/or computer to overcome possible wireless interference in the original position. (Note: the base station does not need to be connected to the Internet while you test wireless connectivity.) You can also try enabling Interference Robustness (on both the computer and base station) and changing the wireless channel.
    See whether the DP 800 can connect to a different wireless network.
    I'm somewhat surprised you say you entered the password "as usual." Under the typical settings, your computer would remember your network and its password and join it automatically. (I know you haven't declined to store the password in the Keychain.) Moreover, your reference to the "base station name" strikes me as odd, as you do not need to know the base station name in order to connect to the network. Did you mean the wireless network name? Or might the password you have been entering be the base station password, instead of the wireless network password?

  • Can no longer burn cds that will play in my car's cd player

    Yesterday I tried to burn a replacement CD for one that got damaged. The disc was one I created in Itunes a couple of years ago. It won't play in either my sound system's cd player or my car's. The only thing that has changed is the version of Itunes (current) and my OS which is now 10.6.8. I also bought an album from Wofgang's Vault, and got identical results. I tried to burn in both Itunes and straight to the CD burner. I tried audio format vs MP3. I tried a windows machine with a different CD burner, the same machine actually that I was burning Itunes discs on originally. Same results. Is this a Rights Management issue? Has something changed recently in this regard? How do I make CD's that I can play in the car?
    Thanks for your help

  • Can no longer burn CDs to play in my car

    I'm not a huge iTunes user, so it's been a while since I downloaded some new songs.
    What I'm finding is that the songs I've downloaded and burned to a CD will not play on my car stereo. I'm willing to pay the .30 extra for each song, but I can't even find out how to do so, or even find anything about iTunes plus in the iTunes store!
    I DID, however get a message asking me if I wanted to pay the extra .30 for some songs I downloaded long ago!
    What I want is to be able to play the last 11 downloads in my car. I'm willing to pay, but can't find out how.
    Any suggestions?

    You have always been able to burn even copy protected tracks to an Audio CD. That hasn't changed. All tracks sold on the iTunes Store now are DRM free. Track prices now range form .69 to 1.29 but the price is unrelated to copy protection.
    You may still be using the same brand/type of discs but are you still burning in the same format? When you select the playlist that you want to burn to a CD, then press "Burn CD", you get a dialog box that offers you options. Be sure you have "Audio CD" selected.
    If, what you're really trying to do is burn an MP3 cd, you'd first need to make sure that all of the tracks in the playlist are mp3s. If not, you'd need to convert them. You'd need to make sure that your import settings were set to mp3 by going into Preferences>General and pressing the Import Options button and selecting the desired mp3 settings. Then, you select the tracks you want to convert, and from the Advanced menu, choose Create mp3 version. Note: this creates a new mp3 track. It doesn't change the existing track. And, it doesn't work on protected tracks. Protected tracks, as noted above, can be burned to an Audio CD which you can then use as you would any other Audio CD.
    Best of luck.

  • HELP! I updated my software and can no longer burn cds using iTunes

    I followed all of the troubleshooting steps for not being able to burn a cd. I was able to burn cds with other cd burning programs installed on my pc, but itunes was the only program that would not burn the cd correctly. itunes would go through the entire process of burning: check media, check playlist, burn cd, finish burning cd. itunes would even ask me if I wanted to import the new cd into my playlist after it finished "burning" my cd but there was never anything on the cd. I also tried playing the cd using other programs and in other equipment but it never worked. I updated my software recently and I thought I could try to go back to an older version because I never had this problem before. However, when I uninstalled the newer version and tried to reinstall an older version of itunes, the older version of itunes refused to open because my music library was apparently created by the newer version of itunes. I don't know what to do to be able to burn cds again. At this point, I would much rather use another cd burning program but itunes is the only program that will burn the songs that I've purchased from itunes onto a cd.

  • Power outtage: Can no longer mount disk?! Please help

    Firmware 7.2.1 and seagate 500 gb disk. everything has been fine for a while until our power went out last night. when i woke up to check some of my overnight downloads, i could no longer mount the disk. when i clicked on my alias it said it could not mount it.
    when i typed in the IP to connect, it allowed me to log in and view my available mounts, but i could not connect to it. it gave me an error code -35 (not sure what that means).
    i tried plugging the disk into my laptop but i cannot seem to view the disk (though it has always done this).
    please help, this is very odd and there is data i need to get off that disk. thank you.
