Burn CD's come out shuffled??!!!

Whenever I try to burn a CD the CD comes out and all the songs are in a different order than in the playlist chosen. I cannot find any settings that would control this and it is getting very old!

I just realized that I have the same problem (been a while since I put in any sort of CD, so don't know when it started or what might have triggered it). My Mac Pro's Superdrive recognizes DVDs, blank or not, but no CDs, blank or not, commercial software or burned discs.
Resetting PRAM didn't help. Would like to know if this is a software/settings problem or hardware problem before I take any drastic measures.

Burns slow, video comes out green

Hi Folks,
I'm new to burning DVDS... but I'm not new to computers. When I load everything up on iDVD, it seems fine and normal.
I burn my DVD (which takes hours to encode) and then turn it on to watch. The title screen plays perfect, but as soon as I play the actual video, it plays an hour of green with no audio.
They are .avi files I've loaded onto iDVD, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

4 hours to encode isn't bad - in the early days of iDVD with slower computers, we would let things encode over night.
I'm very suspicious of your AVI content. AVI is just a 'wrapper' that can contain content encoded by many different means - not all of which are iDVD compatible.
Open the file with the Apple Quicktime Player and do a WINDOW>SHOW MOVIE INSPECTOR
What video and audio format information is shown?

Some burning smell comes out from laptop

hi , i have purchased new hp pavilion 15 p210tx notebook in INDIA
after 15 day of use, there's weired burning like smell comes out from my laptop when i oped it every time.
it comes on battery power and also while charging.
another problem i noticed that continuous crackling sound comes from right speaker of laptop everytime.
all the things looks working nicely, but don't know where this smell comes from...either from speaker or something else?

Hello ashish15188,
Well it might be a hardware issue, and I would strongly recommend to get in touch with HP support, if you bought it recently (less than 1 year), even if you feel safe enough to go deeper and open your laptop to check the hardware.
Sorry for not providing any troubleshooting, but it really seems to be something that you can't resolve via software or something

When I try to burn a playlist onto a CD, the songs come out in a different order on the CD. What am I doing wrong?

When I burn a playlist to a CD, the songs come out in the wrong order. They appear to be in the order I want in the playlist. Any ideas what's wrong? I am using a dell laptop with Itunes for windons.

WOW. That's a new one...
Check out: https://discussions.apple.com/message/3972820#3972820
Something to do with having the shuffle button enabled.
Otherwise...
Are you sure you didn't accidentally hit the "Name" header before burning?
Does it actually PLAY in alpha order or are you looking at the disk in Windows explorer...?
If none of the above is true, the most likely possibiltiy is that the playlist is corrupt. (I've been using iTunes since V1- have over a hundred playlists and that's never happened) Anyway, there's no way to "fix" a CD once it's been burnt.
So... create a NEW playlist (you might even try with a couple different songs first just as a test) if that works, just copy desired songs to a new Playlist, and burn again.
If THAT doesn't work, it's possible your iTunes files (Library.itl / .xml) are corrupt. There's an article in the knowlegebase called something like "Recreate? or rebuild? your iTunes Library" that explains exactly where these files dwell, and how to reconstruct it.

When I burn dvd in iPhoto, it comes out with original photo plus separate close up photos of each face in original photo. How do I get it to stop doing that?

I am reading this post in the iphoto for iOS forum. The iPad does not burn photos to a DVD. Perhaps you'll get some assistance if you posted in th general iPhoto forum.

Burned CDs come out with static, and stop/skip. Why?

The CDs I've tried to burn come out with fuzzy static and pause momentarily at times. I have tried altering the writing speed (I've tried 1X, 4X, and "maximum possible") and playing the discs in the car, cd player, and computer (all produce the same result). I can hear the music, but with the fuzz and momentary pauses it's annoying to listen to. Also, the burned CDs play at a much softer volume level than, say, the radio in my car--so much so that I deafen myself whenever I change out the CDs and the radio kicks in.
What's going wrong? Is this an iTunes problem I can fix? The burner is new from Dell a year ago and never been used, so I don't think it's that. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Dell Latitude C840 (PP01X) Windows 2000

Try going to dell.com and download all updates for your system on there site, especailly firmware updates for the CD ROM and BIOs updates and chipset updates for the PC system.
If that doesn't fix it, goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>burn sub tab and UNCHECK "Sound Check" so they play louder
If needed we can check and see if the drive is in PIO mode instead of DMA. Does the PC lock up or get really slow when burning CDs?

Photos burned on a disk come out printed blurry

HI I need help, i dont use my printer to print photos i send a disc to a local Kodaks, the thing is is that i choose the photos then i click BURN, once thats finished and i go to print them they come out blurry ,( Not to mention the faces that increase my pictures 3 times ) not as clear this is driving me crazy , now when i read on I photo help it said i should export to a file outside of i photo before i burn, is this necessary? If so why is the burn option on my I photo toolbar if it were not to be used? PLease help since I love to have my photos printed professionally and its getting frustrating. Thank you very much, waiting for your reply.

Do not use the iPhoto burn command - that makes a mini iPhoto library suitable only for use by iPhoto - select the photos you want to print and export them (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder and burn that folder to a disk - then delete the desktop folder
now when i read on I photo help it said i should export to a file outside of i photo before i burn, is this necessary?
Humm - you already had the answer - of course doing it the right way is necessary.

Step one in avoiding frustration - follow instructions -- +"when i read on I photo help it said i should export to a file outside of i photo before i burn"+

Burning playlist to disk comes out alphabetically.

Burning a playlist to disk comes out alphabetically. How can I made it numerical, like the songs are arranged in the playlist?

Thankyou for your advice... Although after fiddling around with it last night, I actually found out how to do it
The only thing that confuses me is that I can no longer burn to disk a playlist that I have created for the iPod itself, but instead I now have to copy that playlist into the playlist folder at the bottom of the left hand pane and copy it from there... But at least I have it working now Thankyou.

Burns come out blank

g4, 22 GB free space. i've been trying to burn a dvd imported from iMovie and all I get after several hours at Stage 4 is a blank dvd. I terminated the burn in all cases, the longest being over 24 hours. This has happened 4 times. I've burned dvd's in the past using this method and it's always worked fine. Any ideas or thoughts?
Thank you so much in advance.......

Hi David,
So sorry about the delay. My DSL service has been out all weekend. My project is a slideshow of photos about 30 minutes in length. There are several movie clips included. I'm using a DVD-R disk. I'm not wasting any disks. They all come out completely blank. I know this to be true because I burned some data on one after a failed burn just to see if it was, indeed, blank. I'm having trouble finding out how to create a disk image. Not sure what to create it from. Everything seems to be greyed out when I try. Are you saying create it from the burn option in iDVD or the one in Disk Utility? Either way, everything associated with the project is greyed out!?

My ipod connects to my vehicle and displays the song and I can shuffle the songs but no sound comes out.

My ipod connects to my GMC sierra with the cord and the display comes up on the radio with the song name and I can change the songs but no sound comes out. I have plugged in my daughters Ipod touch and it connects with sound just fine. When I plug headphones into my ipod it works just fine. HELP!!

my ipod touch has the same problem. I restored it three times, but that can't help.

I export from final cut pro 7 to idvd everything comes out fuzzy on the dvd

I film using a canon fs10. I edit in final cut pro 7, then export to quicktime format, then I burn the dvd using idvd. But the final product always comes out blurry and fuzzy. I can't see what I am doing wrong. Is it because I am not filming in HD?

Using iMovie, for one, is capturing your files to a codec other than one FCP wants to work with. You would be better off dragging and dropping the files from the camera to a folder on an external drive and converting the footage with MPEG Streamclip to whatever codec you want to work in.
Using iDVD to compress and author the dvd takes away any control you have over the compression settings for the project.
You'd be well off getting a FCP training book from someplace like Peachpit Press, or a training dvd from someone here or out there who produces them.

After creating a DVD with music, the pictures all come out fuzzy and not sharp. Why

After creating a DVD with music, the pictures all come out fuzzy and not sharp. I have tried all the options, and nothing works, they all come out fuzzy. I have wasted about a dozen DVD's

Have you tried enhancing and sharpening in Premiere Elements before burning to disk?
What steps are you doing exactly?

Old iMovie Project Comes Out Choppy on New iMovie

A couple of years ago, I asked on this forum the best setting to export an iMovie project in HD and to burn in a Bluray format on a DVD. I got a good answer and it worked. After picking up iMovie'11 I dug up that old project, rendered it and burned it under the same settings as before. This time, the movie came out a choppy. The settings I used, which I noted so I would not forget are:
mpeg-4
file format MP4
H.264 data rate 18000 kbits/sec
image size 1920x1080HD
frame rate 29.97
keyframe 24
multi-pass
streaming not enabled
I can go into to the settings I use on Toast but I can see the difference in the resulting video even before burning it to DVD.
Also the file size of the resulting video is bigger than the old file size. (When I couldn't get the same quality I went digging for the old video connected to the old project and found it. But I want to make sure I can duplicate the nice video for future videos which is why I'm writing on this forum.) The old video size in 1.04 gig. While the new video (same project and same export settings) comes out at 1.26 gig.
I must be doing something wrong. But whatever I do--change the settings or try different exports like .mov--the choppiness is still there. I can't seem to duplicate the smoothness of that old movie. Again, I'm exporting the project using the same settings as before.
My main goal is to be able to create a 1080 movie that runs smooth like movies should. I've done it before. Why is it so hard now? How do I fix it?
Any suggestions?

Yes it is choppy in the QT player as well. And when I say choppy I mean not as smooth as my old movie nor as smooth as when I connect my camera directly to the TV via HDMI cable. It's most noticeable when things are moving fast. It's as if a few frames were pulled out. For example, there's one scene where I'm filming outside the car window. A light pole zooms by. There is an illusion of movement because the pole flashes several times from left to right causing the look of movement. In the new movie, picture only the pole flashing half as much so that the pole moving across the screen looks like a choppy movement instead of a smooth one. Does that help?
It's so odd. I continue to play with the parameters to try and find the difference and I am becoming more convinced it's the software.

Discs come out dirty

Hello,
After recently burning multiple DVD's, I have begun to notice that there are smudge marks in the same form on every disc I burned. The last one I burned, I checked the disc before putting in to be burned, and it was spotless. But when it was ejected after burning, there was about a 1/2 inch smudge mark on the edge of the DVD. I have not seen what effect this has on CD's or commercially bought discs, but I do know that if I re-instert these burned DVD's into my drive, they come out with the same smudge marks in different places. I suspect that this has to do with the small flaps of fabric that are supposed to keep dirt from coming into the drive becoming dirty themselves. Does anyone know how I can clean or replace these? Are they attached to the drive or the computer case? This is starting to become a major problem because the last disc I burned wont even play the last bits of video that were burned to the disc correctly (the data on the outer edge of the disc). Thanks,
Trevor

There are many different kinds of cleaning kits. You will need to go to the store to check them out for yourself to find the one for your specific needs.
If you cannot find what you need, then you will need to contact Apple and/or your local AASP. Hopefully, your computer is still under warranty and/or you have AppleCare.
