TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
PLEASE HELP!

Burning CD's in Mac 10.2.8 that read on a Mac 9.0 system

I have tried everything imaginable to burn CD's on my G-4 Mac, system 10.2.8 computer that are compatible with my husband's G-4 Mac 9.0 system. Nothing works. HELP!
I've tried burning in read-only. In compressed files. In PC files. in Mac-Standard files. and yes, I began with Mac-Extended files. NOthing works. I've looked at the Extensions Manager on his computer and everything is on.
Can ANYONE help me? Obviously, I'm not a pro. He refuses to update his system (does "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" ring a bell with you?!), so that's out.
I sure would love someone's advice!
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
I've tried both the Finder and Disk Copy to bun the CD's.
I don't have Toast. Can I just get it from the internet?
I have burned CD's in Mac Standard (as opposed to Extended) Formathe CD. Is this what you mean?
Thanks for the ideas about Toast and the format type though!

Why do I keep getting the following error message error code 0x80020022 when I try to burn a DVD using Mac Finder?

Why do I keep getting the following error when I try to burn a DVD using Mac Finder?
"The disk can't be burned because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."

I forgot about this since I upgraded to an external burn drive but I used to get this error whenever I tried to used a DVD or CD Blank Disc that was a DVD + R or a DVD +/- R or RW Disc Try using only the DVD -R or DVD -RW Disc (Minus sign - )

My G4 imac wont read a dvd burned on my new mac mini

I burned some pictures on a dvd on my mac mini and when I went to load them on my imac the disc wont show up??? The drive is working as it reads dvds burned on the imac, just not the ones burned on the new mac mini............any ideas? Thanks

You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
or...
Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

Can't burn cd's in mac or windows Itunes but can burn cd's in media player

Tried burning cd's in mac itunes and was able to burn 1 then all others failed. Transferred songs to my windows computer and tried to burn the rest of the cd's and was only able to burn 1 cd. Moved songs to windows media player and was able to burn the rest of the cd's without a problem. I used the same brand of blank cd's. I have burned plenty of cd's in mac itunes before without a hitch. Why would both Itunes burn the first cd and fail on the ones after. On both Itunes I could see the songs being burned but the cd's came out blank. This has me puzzled.

Hi, I am new to this (my first post) - please bear with me. I have the same problem - a few months ago I started being sporadically unable to burn CDs from iTunes (but I can read CDs). I ran a disk repair and that seemed to help for a few weeks - now it doesn't. I have also tried various brands of CD. When I try and burn in iTunes in just keeps flashing "Insert a Blank Disc" and after a while it spits it out. I tried removing USB devices to no avail. I also tried deleting my CD burning playlist folder in iTunes and creating a new one. Today I tried a "Burn Disk" folder and that didn't work either (no error reports). I looked in the iTunes help folder and I couldn't find "Run Diagnostics". Any help would be greatly appreciated. This happened just after my 3-year Warranty ran out.

This new Superdrive also supports DVD-Audio so you can load more music into it than a CD.

Burn dvd's from mac won't play on DVD player

I'm getting an error 'can't read disk' from my samsung bd-p2550 when trying to play a moving i created on my Mac Mini. I've created the movie using iPhoto to create a slide show movie. i renamed the resulting file from M4V to MP4 and burned to a DVD-R disk. inserted into the samsung dvd player and got the error message, even though the samsung is supposed to support mp4.
next i downloaded FLV Crunch and converted the MP4 to VOB(mpeg 2) format. burnt to another disk, same error.
i did some google searching and they talk about VIDEO_TS directories (which i see on my store bought movie dvd's). is there some directory structre that makes movies playable on a DVD player connected to a TV?
i can play the dvd's on my Mac Mini from the internal DVD drive, so that seems to indicate the file structure is ok.
Any other thoughts?
thanks!

Why use mp4 if it to be played on a DVD Player?
Save the project as a DV mov file and burn the DVD again in the usual DVD format of mpeg2.

Trying to open image CD burned on pc in Mac OSX

I burned several image CD's, (using roxio I think), on my Dell before getting rid of it. I'm trying to open these CDs using OSX. When I insert the CDs in my Mac mini, they aren't recognized on the desktop. I've explored Disk Utilities, where the CD is recognized, but can't seem to make anything open the CD.
I do have Roxio toast lite, but can't seem to use this application to open the CDs.
Is there a third party program that I can use to view these images? Does Roxio have a program that I can use? If so, is there a shareware source where I can get it?
Any info. is greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you burned the CDs on the PC in a non-standard, Windows-only format. See if you can open them on another Windows PC to make sure there is nothing wrong with the CDs themselves. Then maybe you could try burning them in a standard cross-platform format like ISO 9660.

Can't get external cd burner to work on mac

Hello! I am new to owning a macbook pro and still getting used to it. I recently bought an external cd drive to hook up to the computer. When I plug it in and if I put a movie in, it will automatically play the movie. However, when I go into Itunes (Itunes 11) and try and burn a playlist of my music it will not work. I click burn cd and the external cd drive is listed, but it keeps flashing to put in a blank cd, which I have done. When I go to disk utility on my computer, it has the name of the drive but I can not click it to verify it. I have no idea how to get this to work and I keep trying! Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you!

Problem burning Blu ray on mac

I recently bought an external blu ray burner LG from what i gather it works with mac as it shows up when switched on also added a caldigit usb 3.0 pci for mac it shows up and says it is 3.0 the burner uses 3.0 tried to burn last night went through everyting as normal using toast but when it came time to burn got an error saying not a stable connection has anyone ever had this or any similer problems? My mac is an early 2009 Mac Pro with 6 gigs of ram running OS 10.9.1 i am at a loss as to what the problem is any advice would be helpfull thanks.

I had tried that before and worked the same everytime i tried to burn i get an error about not stable connection that is why i picked up the usb 3.0 i am guessing that it could be a firmware update for it could be the problem or maybe it could be not in the right pci port going to give booth a try later and see if any of these work.

Burning & Viewing Shuts Down Mac

I made a trailer DVD on iDVD and when it gets to the burning stage it just shuts my Mac down. No warnings or anything, just black. I tried different things:
*Different DVD's
*Saving as a Video_TS folder
*Saving as a Disk Image
*Reimporting the broken asset
*Converting the asset to a different file
But I narrowed it down to one asset in the project. A .mp4 movie.
But I did eventually get it to burn, I can't remember what I did, 'cos I set it up before I went to work. But came home to my surprise the disk was popping out.
Now when I tested the DVD on my DVD player (connected to the TV), it works fine. But when ever I watch that one specific asset, my Mac just shuts off again. No warning.
This is not the first time stuff like this has happened, when I was trying to burn Logic 7 projects it did the same.
The problem could be many things, but I would really like to know whats going on. Is it that iDVD stuffed up the burn, and said it was successful? Is the DVD player app stuffing up? Is it got to do with codecs and containers?
Thanks anyway

Hi,
I'm also having a similar issue.
I'm using imovie to import video from my camcorder via firewire. Create a project in imovie - edit what i need and then export.
I then open idvd and create project and import the movie i made in imovie.
I click to burn to disk, insert the DVD and idvd runs through the encoding stages etc - gets to the burning step, completes the multiplexing and starts burning the disk - and then the mac just turns off. Like someone pulled the plug out the back.
I had this when i first used it - then it burnt 3 or 4 successfully and now i'm back to this again. I'm using Kodak DVD +R disks.
I have about 190GB free space and have run the extended hardware test which reports no trouble.
Then, earlier today i was importing a cd into itunes and the same thing happened - half way through copying the cd the mac just powered off - like the power cord had been pulled out.
Beginning to think that the issue may not be with iDVD but with the superdrive itself? Up until this point i had imported many cds with no issue.

DVD Burner not working in Mac Mini

My mac mini (running OSX 10.7.5) all of a sudden stopped burning/reading DVDs, however CD burning and reading still works.
I ran my system's disk utility and corrected some problems and tried again to no avail. I tried a previously burned DVD which did not work either. However, after trying several DVDs, I got the burner to work (or at least it appeared to as it went thru the usual messages of recording my iDVD movie, but when the recording message showed DONE, the screen appeared to freeze there (typically, at this point, I usually get a message that asks if I want to burn another) --I was able to hit cancel to exit the program. Anyways, the DVD did not burn. At this point on the plus side, I can now read my previously burned DVD... so I tried again to burn my iDVD Movie again but it just spits out after 15-30 seconds.
I saw on some boards that I should try cleaning the burner? Do I have to take my system apart to do this? Do I use a cleaning disk? If this is the case, will my DVD acknowledge it if it isn't working? Or do I just spray compressed air into its slot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is for a job that I need to get out.
Thanks so much!

Yes use a CD/DVD cleaning disk
