Burned CDs will not play in car

New MacBook Pro and now I cannot get music CDs to play car.

Are you implying that your burned discs from old Mac products played in your car before? Are you using stickers/labels on the discs that you're trying to play in your car? Will the first tracks play, but not the later tracks on the CD?

Burned cd will not play in car (plays, but i can't hear it)

burned cd will not play in car (plays, but i can't hear it)

In my experience car CD-players are more picky than home CD-players, when it comes to a certain combination of burner and CD-R brand.
My over 10 year old home CD-player plays every CD I burned, but my car CD-player rejects some brands.
From your first post I understand that burning CDs on your 'old' computer didn't give problems.
Maybe trying another well known brand (Sony or TDK) will solve the problem burning CDs with your 'new' computer.
Don't use cheap 'white-label' CD-Rs. They lead often to disappointment, when burning an audio CD.
Also don't use CD-RW and CD-Rs especially designated for music. The latter do cost more and often don't play on car CD-players.
The above is from my own experience and doesn't have to be a general experience.

Burned CD Will Not Play in Car

I burned a cd in iTunes and it will play on my home cd but not in the car. I've burned other cds on my old computer using Toast, also CD-R, and they play in the car just fine. My Preferences are set at audio cd, I double checked and ended up burning a second cd which also won't play in my car, just to make sure I'd done it right the first time. What the heck is going on?

ITunesBurnt CD will not play on car CD

I download iTune. Burn to CD and it burns as a iTune which will not play on car CD or any other cd machine. Can anyone help?

I don't understand what you did. Did you burn songs to a CD, which should work, or just downloaded iTunes, the program, and burned to a CD. If it is downloaded, it will be good in case you lose the installed program, and for nothing else.
I assume that you installed iTunes. Please, explain a bit better what you did.

Burned CD will not play on a computer

I've discovered that CDs that I have burned will not play on a computer (Mac or PC), while they play perfectly fine on a CD player (in the car, boombox, etc). I have the latest version of iTunes, and I use CD-R discs. What the heck is going on?

Try different brands of CD_R media. Also check speed of your cd burner and set burn speed in I-Tunes to match instead of maximum possible, If that doesn't work try a slower burn speed. Also do not run other programs while burning. Check your Cd on other players to make sure that is not the problem. I-tunes gives very few parameters to chose from so it is hard to do anything wrong in the program settings.

CDs will not play in iMac

My iMac will not play CDs. (They are ejected.)
-It does play DVDs.
-I have reloaded OS X.
Suggestions?
OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389)
iMac (20-inch, Early 2008)
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB

Hi john_,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iMac is reading DVDs but not CDs, and you've already reinstalled OS X, try these steps next:
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

CDs will not play or import in iTunes?

When I insert a CD, it will not play or prompt me to play. These options are checked in the preferences. This is a new install. I even uninstalled and reinstalled. It will not even play from my computer if I double click on it. I have a CD and a DVD and they both work other than that. If you right click on the CD and tell it to open with Media player, it also works fine. I even reinstalled my CD/DVD software. I am using iTunes 7. Any ideas? Thanks

Burned CD will not play on CD player

I have successfully burned a music CD on a CD-R that plays on the computer. I put it in a CD player and it played once but when I tried to replay it again the player would not recognize the disk. I burned a second disk and the player would not recognize it at all. I record at 4x on audio. Any ideas?

HD DVDs will only play on Macs and a couple of now obsolete Toshiba HD DVD players.
Since DVD is a standard definition only format, you will need to create a regular DVD if you want it to play on regular DVD players or on Windows systems.

Burned CDs won't play my car, but did when I had a PC

Why am I having this problem and how do I fix it? I've tried increasing and decreasing the CD burning speeds in iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

You've hit on one of the possible issues and since changing the speed isn't working, I have to ask - and don't be insulted - you are burning a music disk and not an MP3 disk, right? Does the CD play on your Mac and show up as an audio CD? If so but not in the car I'd suspect the media - cheap media is often not reflective enough for car CD players.

Burned discs will not play on home stereo

I have recently discovered that since December of 2009, all the discs I have burned of my iTunes purchases do not play on my home stereo CD player (Sony 300 disc jukebox). They still play on my Mac G5 desktop (OS 10.4.11) with iTunes v9.1. Discs I burned before December 2009 still play on my CD player. What's strange is that if I put the disc in my iMac Intel G5 (OS 10.6.3) and reburn the disc on that machine, they do play on the CD player. Also, discs I can burn on the G5 desktop with Toast play fine. Was something changed in iTunes around December, 2009 that would affect my burning in this way? Thanks for any input...

Did you accidentally select a data CD or an MP3 CDin your burn preferences, instead of an Audio CD?

Burned cd will not play in other cd players?

I am using cd-r cds and they appear to burn from my itunes but, then they do don play in other cd players ie the car etc. Can not figure it out.

The brand can make a difference. If you know your CD player can handle CD-R's--but some simply won't play, then trying a different brand is a good idea. You might want to avoid the bargin brands--if your player has trouble reading some disks.
One thing that I've noticed over time is that these homemade CDs don't hold up very well. I have some mix CDs that I made about four years ago. They played fine for a few years, but now they skip and don't work anymore. Cleaning them doesn't help--and they aren't scratched--sooooo I'm wondering if there is a limited shelflife for a computer burnt CD that you use frequently.

Certain CDs will not play on itunes

For some reason, certain Cds, even brand new ones that work fine on a cd player, have incredibly poor playback on my itunes and when i sync them to my ipod. playback on these Cds is very grainy and scratchy, but strangely the majority of Cds are fine. I haven't found anyone with the same problem but i have tried to fix it by changing quicktime audio settings to 192 khz rate and 24 bit size, which hasn't helped. Is there any simple way to solve this issue? All help appreciated.

ive tried with windows media player on high quality, mp3 format, wma format etc and nothing seems to work; it won't even play the CD normally.
Then the problem seems to be bigger than iTunes, and since you noted before that "the majority of Cds are fine" I am wondering if there is something about the CDs that is causing a problem for any program that tries to rip them.
Not sure if you have time for one more experiment, but if you have access to a friend's computer, see if they rip there.
