Burning Audiobooks in iTunes

I've run into problems several times in burning multiple disk audiobooks, where iTunes will burn the first 8 out 9 disks fine, then quit as if done. I can go back and burn the last disk manually, but does anyone know why this is happening?

New version of iTunes will not allow me to burn audiobooks to audio CDs

i just pruchased an audiobook from iTunes. as i've always done in the past, i went to burn an audio CD to back it up. i have did this with Diamond's 'Collapse' and was signaled that it would take multiple audio CDs. no problem. when i went to burn this new audiobook, i was given a warning that sometracks could not be burned to a single audio CD. no kidding? i clicked 'OK' and then was prompted that the tracks would not fit on one audio CD, but would require multiple discs, just as it had always been. no problem. so, i clicked 'OK' and waited, and waited, and waited... you get the picture. nothing happened. i tried it several times. same result. so, i can't burn my new purchase to an audio CD with the newest verion of iTunes. this is irritating because now i can't burn it to audio discs in order to listen to it in my car. why is this not working? i've also had issues with other aspects of the new version, but this is the most immediate problem. my last question went unanswered, so PLEASE someone help me out here since you can't go to iTunes for any help. thanks in advance for any assistance.

I think I've discovered what the new iTunes lets you do. You need to drag and drop a new playlist into the iPod. After about 10 tries at this, and 2 forced quits of iTunes as the screen froze, I finally saw my playlist listed under the iPod contents and the synching began. Then the iMac told me that synching was impossible as it couldn't find the device. No iPod connected! So now iMac shows no iPod attached, but iPod thinks its still synching. I'll leave it for an hour and see what happens.

Burning audiobook on CD

I purchased audiobook from Itunes and tryed to burn it so I can listen in car. It takes 7 CDs to burn entire book. The first time I tryed, it only burned first CD, the second time it burned the first two CDs, the next time it only let me burn four CDs then told me I was only authorized to burn 7. I now have 3 CDs of part one, 2 CDs of part two, 1 each of three and four, and none of part 5 and maybe 6(if there is a six). Is ther any way I can burn just the last parts?

This is how I do it with Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com.
With the audiobook in the playlist, right-click the title and select *Get Info*
Select Options tab and check *Start Time*. Allow 80 min for each disc you have already burned and enter start time and then END as stop time. (Disc 2 start @ 80:00, disc three at 160:00, disc four at 240:00, etc.)
I've never purchased audio books from itunes, but hope this works for you too.

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

Looking for some assistance. I downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. It was 11 hours long. Originally it worked on my iPhone, but stopped working after 44 minutes into the book. I tried to re-load the book but it would only load a portion of it and would then would not play. I then was able to get the same half of the book loaded into my laptop, but then not onto my iPhone. Anysuggestions, other than re-purchasing the book?

I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone. I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there. iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded. Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?

Hi..
On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
Make sure Books is turned ON.
You shouldn't need to re purchase the book > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT203167 It is not possible to re-download audiobooks on iTunes Store. Why?

If a person buy an audiobook at iTunes Store today and want to re-download it, he can not do it because it does not exist yet a way to do so. If the person access iTunes Store on the computer and tap Purchased, it shows only musics, movies, tv shows, apps and books, but not audiobooks. The same happens on iPhone. Actually, on iPhone it is even worse, because it does not show books either.

"And what to do if, when updating iOS on iPhone, your purchases just disappear?"
Why would you update without making sure that everything is on your computer? You should never update any device/computer, etc without making sure that everything is saved to anothe source ( backed up).
" It has happened to me quite few times with musics and audiobooks. "
It has happened before and you still fail to amkwe sure that everything is on your computer before updating?
"Why does audiobooks industry impose this resctriction "
I have no idea. You would have to ask them.
"It seems it is just an excuse."
OK. That does not change the fact that they do not allow Apple to do this.
It is up to the audiobook industry to allow this or not.

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?

Correction... Running OS 10.6.7

Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

"iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

Itunes locks up computer when I try to burn songs in itunes

i had to have this imac's original optical cd burner replaced with a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J: at an authorized apple location due to it would not eject discs.
I also had them replace the HD with a new WDC WD10EALX-009BA0 1TB drive plus the increased the RAM to 3 GB.
now when i tried to burn songs in itunes v 10.6.8 to a CD-R disc it goes thru the motions like it is going to start the burn process but ends up freezing my computer and I have to reboot without any disc being burned!?? It freezes each time I tried using itunes to burn songs.
I was also getting an error message saying some of the songs were not authorized on this computer but when I go to authorize this computer it says it is already authorized as well as 3 others out of 5 possible.
This imac has been used by all of us but since replacing the HD & CD drive mainly my daughter and my wife plug their iphones and ipad2 to it. We all have iphones and an ipad2 but only my wife and daughter hook those items up to this computer as I have two other macs I use to connect my iphone to so have not tried to hook to this imac since the new hardware was installed.
My daughter was the 1st one to hook her iphone up to this imac and itunes now shows her name at the top of the itunes window when open. I assume her name was transferred to this computer via her iphone. Does that matter if my wife hooks her ipad2 and iphone up to this computer too?
Why would the computer lock up when trying to burn a music disc?
Thanks
Bob

I run Win 7 64 bit, there are no compatibility problem.
Give us your specs, also any information about what happened to you, and we'd at least have a fighting chance to sort things out.
Now, we've got no clue as to what went wrong.

I bought and paid for two audiobooks in iTunes store. However they don't download. I get error -48 and/or 1000. How do I resolve this? Thank you.

I reinstalled iTunes on my PC. Also tried downloading via iTunes on iPad and iPhone. The latter is not possible because it tells me that I already bought the products. The purchases have already been charged to my account!

I downloaded audiobook from iTunes. It comes in 2 parts. Part one will not play, only part 2. When I tried to sync to ipod or iphone it prompted,"file could not be reaf from or written to".Can I fix this issue?

I just purchased and downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. I tried to sync it to iPhone 4 and iPod Classic but with both devices got a message"file could not be read from to written to". Then I tried to play the audiobook in iTunes and realized that only part 2 of my 2 part download will play. Part 1 will not play. Is this why I got the message? Is there any way to get another try at downloading my audiobook I just paid $15 for??

Click the Shuffle button at bottom left of iTunes window so the crossed arrows are not blue.

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.

Notes usually sync with a mail service i.e gmail, yahoo, aol, etc. Do you have a mail account setup on your product? If so, have you went into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select your mail account > see if notes are toggled on

CDs I burn from my itunes 10 on my macbook with snow lepard will not play in the regular cd player. How do I burn Cds that will pay in a reg old cd player?

CDs I burn from my itunes 10 on my macbook with snow lepard will not play in the regular cd player. How do I burn Cds that will pay in a reg old cd player?

When the computer was new, I had the same issue I have now. It was new and I could not burn to play on a reg cd player. Today, I can not burn to play on a reg cd player. Inbetween, I could not burn to play on a reg cd player. I keep giving up and then trying months later.
I have recently made the cds that play on the computer. I have also tried in the last month to make a dvd copy, it played. I have gone to people's homes and tried the cd's burned in my computer. They are not recognized. This last round I have only used the cd-r but have tried many others in the past. I am running out of money to keep buying different brands, kinds, etc. I figured it must be my lac of knowledge and am trying to get some new here.
Sincerely,
Paul

I have purchased two audiobooks from iTunes. They play perfectly for about 13 minutes and then abruptly stop. I have purchased other audiobooks and have not had a problem. Please, any ideas on why this is happening and what can I do to fix it. Thanks!

As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.
