Burning a CD in Itunes 9.0.2

Why must Itunes take the first 2 seconds of every track and stick it on the end of a previous track, when I write an Audio CD?
It's not a big problem, but when I skip through tracks, the first 2 seconds are missing.
There seems to be no way to change this.
I've changed the gap between songs, from 0 secs, 1 sec, 2 secs etc. no change.
Seriously I've wasted the burns on several protected tracks.
Man I hate Itunes.

I haven't heard of that problem before, but some of those "mis-writing" type errors can be corrected by using a lower burn speed.
Try 2x and see if that helps. Burn speed is set by choosing the "Preferred Speed" in the dialog that comes up after you click the "Burn Disc" button.

  • I got an error message while burning a cd in itunes - "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error.  What is that and how can i fix it?t

    I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

  • Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?

    Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?
    I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

    You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
    Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

  • Error message 4000 when trying to burn a cd in itunes

    I am having problems burning a cd in itunes. I am getting the error message the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred  (4000). Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem.  Please note that I have looked up other ways to solve problem and have tried them and none of them seem to work.  Such as in program files I clicked on repair and not uninstall to see if there was any possible corrupt itunes files to be fixed.  I changed the burn speed and that did not work. The only thing I did not do was a total uninstall of itunes. I need to know should I do that and if so what site will I need to go on to re-install itunes  and will I have to pay for it? My computer which is Windows XP already had itunes on it when I bought it so I do not want to pay for itunes. So can someone please give me some guidance regarding this matter. And please note that I was able to burn cd's in itunes before and then it just stopped working. And I have tested my computer with the windows media player and I was able to burn music from my music library so I know my problem is with itunes.
    Thanks!

    I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

  • I keep getting error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a CD from itunes.  It keeps my CD and won't eject it and says "cancelling burn" forever then itunes locks up and my cd is ruined and NO songs on it.

    i can't burn cd's in iTunes anymore. I get error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a playlist. Songs from my own cd's, or bought in iTunes (have not burned 7x's as I can't BURN any cd's at all!),  Then my cd gets stuck in the drive. and it says "cancelling burn" forever and then itunes freezes up. I have a Dell with Windows 7.
    -I've slowed down the burn as slow as it can go
    -I have bought 3 different brands of cd's
    -i have the latest version of iTunes.
    Can someone help me?

    I have Windows 7 on a Dell.  Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2).  Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode.  This has worked for me.  I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc.  These ideas did not work.  Compatability mode works.

  • I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes

    I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes. When I click burn it opens up the CD drive and I put in a black CD. When it goes back in it shows the computer is reading the disk, but then suddenly stops. No error message, just stops. At that point I did a diagnostics test and the following error appeared. Can anyone help me?
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive D: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4020B on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

    You need to update your Mac OS X to at least 10.6.8.
    Apple menu > Software update.

  • I am unable to burn a playlist in iTunes 10

    I try to burn a playlist from iTunes10 I keep getting a media read error and the disk appears to be half burned. I can create a burn folder on my desktop and burn the cd with no problems. This problem started two updates ago. I have tried using an external cd burner as well as the cd burner in my iMac, but get the same message. It only happens when trying to burn a cd in iTunes. Unfortunatly my car stereo will not play an mp3 disk, so I need to create the audio cd in iTunes

  • After Upgrading to lion, can't burn a cd in iTunes and does not show up in finder

    ive tried different cd brands and still nothing.. but the interesting thing is i can burn dvd's in itunes but still doesnt show in finder.
    help!!!!

    I'm having a similar issue, I choose to burn a playlist in iTunes, insert a disc and either get a message saying that I need to try another brand of cd, or the burn process starts then finishes immediately.
    Ive tried several major name brands of cd-r.
    Sometimes the disc is not even recognised.  The drives spins up slowly then stops 3 times, then spits out the disc.
    This happened on a previous version of OSX but had been working great since snow leopard. (now on Lion)
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Why can't I burn a playlist in iTunes?

    This is the first time I've tried to burn an iTunes playlist (of songs I ripped myself) onto a CD since I updated to iTunes v. 7.4.2
    Intializing begins on the blank disc, then seconds later I get this error message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media"
    I can still burn discs from the Finder with no problem, so I doubt that my drive is faulty.
    I found a bizarre work around on another bulletin board somewhere.
    It is: Go to System Preferences->International->Language
    Drag any other language besides English to the top of the list. Then drag English back to the top of the list. Then restart.
    After doing this, I was able to burn a CD in iTunes. But, only the one CD. Now I still get the same error message.
    My info: 733MHz G4 PowerPC running Tiger 10.4.10 iTunes v. 7.4.2 Using blank Memorex CD-Rs

    It's not the discs.
    I can drag the MP3s from a playlist in iTunes that won't burn onto my desktop and burn them to a disc just fine in the Finder.

    Did you by chance find out a solution with your problem?     I am having the same issue with the same drive.    I even uninstalled iTunes and completely reinstalled it.

  • Im trying to burn a cd from itunes, I keep getting a message that says "the attempt to burn a CD failed because of a medium write error" any help would be appreciated

    hello, I'm trying to burn a playlist from itunes to a cd, but I keep getting a message saying "the attempt to burn a CD failed because of a medium write error" can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm not so tech savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    I'm not familiar with this error, but check the following:
    -Is your disc a CD or a DVD? You want a CD, not a DVD.
    -Is the CD blank? You'll want a blank one.
    -Maybe the disc is scratched and cannot be used. Try another CD.
    -Maybe your disc burner is broken. If you have another, try it.

  • Trying to burn a playlist in itunes and i get this message at the end 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An nknown error occurred (4450)'.  This is with a new Dell laptop running windows 8. The playlist was 17 songs from cd's and itunes.  Any ideas?

    try this...
    This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
    I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
    I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
    I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

    Mine is really close to your set up. Difference my desktop has two drive, dvd-rom and my burn drive. My laptop only has single drive. Here is my take on things.
    My desktop computer burns from iTunes perfect in version 4.7.0.42 and 5.0.1.4. When I go to 6.x I can't do anything. Go to oldapps.com if you want an older version.
    I CAN BURN on my laptop with new version. It is a toshiba sat M45-S331 with a matshita dvd-ram drive.
    My PC is a dell with a teac dvd+rw dv-w58e, rev D.0n
    Did find something sad and while I don't know much about computer programming here is my take. I think it has nothing to do with the drive, my drive works perfect and as evidence being able to burn in older generation iTunes.
    I think in the new version, at least as far as I can tell, my bus address in my laptop for my cd drive is [0,0] but on my desktop the bus address is [1,0] for my burn drive.
    I think some programmer at Apple took out ability to recognize two seperate bus addresses or to recognize address [1,0]
    Opinions? I'm going to research how to change bus address on my drives and if can figure out will get back here. Or if someone else can, please replay to me by e-mail. You can send it to the following removing upper case letters:

  • I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists. The format shows up as m4a - which never used to happen.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    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.
