Burning iTunes U lectures

I have downloaded a number of University videos on iTunes U and would like to offload them onto DVD. Clearly I can easily burn them one to each DVD, but that seems a waste for a 15 min program. Is there an easy way to add 4 or 5 or even 6 of these short lectures and burn them as one disc? Thanks for any assistance. GzrGreenBean

i have the same problem,ill go to burn a cd and it just stopps half way through and it wont open the tray till after i restart but it doesnt freeze but every now and then,hit me up when you figure it out,ill keep an eye out

On the Dock at the bottom of your screen, right click on the iTunes icon, go to "Options", and make sure "Open at Login" is unchecked.

HT1349 I cannot Upgrade To Itunes Plus Or Burn Itunes Songs To Mp3 Cd Disks.

I have ITunes 10.7.0.21 and I cannot Upgrade To ITunes Plus Or Burn ITunes Songs To Mp3 Cd Disks. Do I not already have the DRM Free Songs that I have already purchased from ITunes over the course of the last year? How do I get my DRM Free Songs and be able to burn or transfer them. Please advise

I think I solved this for me. I had Netbarrier set to enable "Information Hiding" when I first had this problem. Unchecking that setting solved the problem.

Cannot sync iTunes U lecture videos to iPad Air

iTunes U lecture video link
https://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/image-processing-reconstruction/id547294162 ?mt=10
I have this problem that cannot be fixed, no matter what I tried.
For most of the videos downloaded from iTunes U, I can sync from iTunes in Windows 7 to iPad Air fine. However, the videos from the link above can only be synced for the 2nd lecture while the rest have the error "were not copied to the iPad ... because they cannot be played on this iPad".
So, I tried to convert first using iTunes, make iPad version. That didn't work.
I downloaded Handbrake and used the preset "iPad" and "Universal", and that also didn't work. (at this point, I tried to encode using Handbrake with different presets for at least 4 hours).
It keeps saying "... because they cannot be played on this iPad".
So I tried to do the last thing on my mind, download the video lectures directly through my iPad. It worked, it kept the all the files (except the 2nd lecture which is "Processing" indefinitely, ironically).
However, the next time I synced it with iTunes to transfer more files (PDFs), the video lectures downloaded directly were wiped since it didn't download it through iTunes (the first time it copied the files from iPad to iTunes while the second time it wiped the video lectures from my iPad, except for the 2nd lecture that can be transferred).
My problem is... how is it possible that iPad can play the file yet iTunes still report an error that it cannot be played? Please keep in mind I tried re-encoding it numerous time already.
How can I keep the video lectures file on my iPad without downloading it through my iPad everytime I want to watch it after I sync my iPad with iTunes?

Stumbled onto information from another forum. MAYBE this is the problem, but what are solution options? What I did confirm is that ALL of the podcasts and iUniversity files that will not sync are MPEG 4 files. Let me know your thoughts.
Taken from another conversation to someone having a similar issue:
I just downloaded a full HD podcast video from iTunes to my iPad and desktop computer. Both of these videos play just fine. When I synced the iPad to my desktop computer iTunes would not transfer the video to the iPad. The video is 1920x1080, this outside the guideline for iTunes to transfer the video to the iPad.
The iPad is capable of playing a 1080p videos. When i need to send a 1080p to my ipad I use the GoodReader app to do so. It is iTunes (on the desktop) that is placing these restrictions on the videos that can be transfer to the iPad.
If you want to you can voice your opinion to Apple:

ITunes U lecture download vanishes

I keep downloading iTunes U lecture videos but as soon as the download is over it disappears and the GET button reappears? what am I doing wrong?

I ran your feed against the W3C feed validator and it complained that 10 of its embedded enclosures contained malformed URLs. It may be that readers like Safari and Firefox are more forgiving. I'd have to check (just for chuckles) the feed itself and pull it apart to see what is whacked about the URLs.
Thanks for your diligence,
I ran the feed against the same validator tonight and a few weeks ago when this started. It complains about that it has to use the full URL, which is listed there in the error message as https://lms.... I assumed it was spurious. Unless I'm interpreting it wrong (and I paste it here's for other's review), the message is:
line 16, column 6: url must be a full URL: https://lms.brocku.ca/access/content/group/BuildaPodcast/Podcasts/Isaak%20-%20Forums.mov (10 occurrences)
Line 16 of the feed is:
<enclosure url="https://lms.brocku.ca/access/content/group/BuildaPodcast/Podcasts/Isaak%20-%20Forums.mov" length="78041442" type="video/quicktime" />
There's also a few of the itunes custom tags that are missing - but they've always been missing. Also, the feed is usable to so many other applications.
If the warning is valid, please let me know what you think should be done to the feed, I'll hand edit it, see if it works, then go from there.
Thanks,

ITunes U - Lectures not in order when imported

iTunes U lectures synched to my iPod are not in chronological order. As you can imagine, this is frustrating. Any ideas?

This worked; I changed the media type to music, and made a new playlist, not an iTunes U lecture series, and now the playlist syncs in order. This seems pretty clumsy, inelegant, and a lot of work just to get the lectures to sort the way I want them to, especially since you might assume that if a lecture series can't be synced in the order that the user wants, it would automatically sync in the order the lectures were given.
Thanks a lot, this what just happened with me when updating to iOS 4.2.1 and tip
seems to be working with me as well.
Cheers!

I WANT TO BURN ITUNES DOWNLOADS TO AUDIO CD (,WAV)....
HOW DO I DO THIS?
PLEASE HELP

Your only options to burn store purchases are an audio CD or data disc, WAV format is not an option, & never has been for store purchases. If you want to burn an audio CD, open iTunes, then edit>preferences>advanced>burning tab, in the burning tab set your option to an audio CD.
Just a suggestion for posting in the future, please turn off the "caps" lock key. Posting in this manner is considered to be shouting & it's rude.

I cannot burn itunes playlist to a cd.

I tried several times to burn an audio CD using ITUNES playlist. It just hangs after initializing. I know it's not a hardware problem because I've burned CDs before using ITUNES. Please HELP. I am going insane.

Hello sisterluke,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you are trying to burn a playlist in iTunes to a disc. To do that, simply follow the directions below.
Create a CD or DVD
Create a playlist that contains the songs or files you want to burn to the CD; make sure the items you want to include have a checkmark beside them.
Insert a blank disc.
Select the playlist and choose File > Burn Playlist to Disc.
If Burn Playlist to Disc doesn’t appear in the menu, the playlist you selected can’t be burned to a CD because it contains items with usage restrictions (for example, a song your computer isn’t authorized to play).
Select a disc format.
If you’re creating an audio CD, choose your options:Change the recording speed:
Choose an option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
When you burn an audio CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
Change the amount of silence between songs:
Choose an option from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
Have all the songs on the disc play at the same volume:
Select Use Sound Check.
Include information that disc players in some vehicles can display:
Select Include CD Text.
Click Burn.

I can't sort iTunes U lectures properly. I can sort them properly on my laptop in iTunes, but when I transfer them to my iPhone, they are all jumbled up. How can I fix this?

I'm using my iPhone for listenting to lectures on iTunes U. When I download lectures to my laptop, they are sometimes arranged non-sequentially. I can fix this by renaming the files (e.g., with numbers in the titles), and then sorting by title. However, when I transfer the audio lectures to my iPhone, they are all sorted by "release date" (and frequently the release date is the same for each lecture), and this screws up the ordering. This means that when I'm listening to the lectures, they are all out of order.
I can find no setting on the iPhone for changing the ordering of lectures in iTunes U, nor can I find a way of changing such things when the iPhone is plugged into my laptop. For example, when I connect the iPhone to the laptop, and open iTunes, I select the device (i.e., the iPhone), look at the lectures in iTunes U, and iTunes will not let me change the column that sorts the files.
Any suggestions about how to correct this problem?

You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually.

Error while burning itunes playlist

I've burned many discs in the past from itunes playlists. However, now I am getting an error. The songs are successfully copied to the disc, but when I drag the disc icon to the trash (where the burn symbol shows up) it seems to start to work but then I get the following error, "An error occured while burning disc. This disc cannot be used." I tried several different discs CD-R and CD-RW. I tried using disc utility to burn. I CAN burn other files like word documents etc. It seems to just be songs that won't burn. I recently updated to itunes 7. Any advice?

Please note, I have read through all the trouble shooting help. I have the preferences set to burn "audio CD" which seems to be the problem for others. aaargh! Really frustrated!

Error in burning iTunes library to DVD as back up

I'm keen to make a back up of my iTunes library onto DVD.
When I try to do this, having followed the instructions to the letter, the system chugs through, checks the playlist, tells me it is initiating the burning, then I get a message canceling the operation reading 'unknown error 4251'.
Now, I can't find anything relating to this error on the Apple website, however, there are other users with the same problem using other forums. The problem is though, there don't seem to be any answers resolving the problem.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Well....You do not absolutely need to Use iTunes for Backing up your Music. Any program that burns DVDs can burn music files as data disks.
iTunes can work fine for music files BUT: I prefer more control and completeness over my backup process. It is also very important to note that a large limitation of using iTunes to manage the backup is that the iTunes method does not maintain the two meta-data files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml) where your Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. are stored. See: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), it is critical that you also make and archive multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
If your music is located under one common Folder (e.g.-‘iTunes’), then it is easiest to physically copy that folder and all its sub-folders in one simple process. It can be done quickly, and incrementally – several times a day, when necessary. In the case of any data loss, just re-copy your entire (or partial) music library back to wherever it was, placing it in the main Folder that the previous iTunes expected. Along with the .ITL meta-data file, this completes a full ‘restore’ of your music to the time of your last backup.
Use of a backup software program will greatly help. It will allow you to easily perform incremental backups of only the files that have changed. WinXP has such a facility built-in. I use a free program called FileSync ( http://www.fileware.com ). There are many out there. Some use Zipped files or proprietary formats, others use standard file formats. I like FileSync as it uses normal file formats that can be viewed/managed via any Windows program or utility.
Here's a list of possible ways to copy your music files from your main iTunes computer to another storage medium for backup purposes.
1) Use an External Hard Drive to store the complete iTunes meta-data files and underlying Music Folder structure and songs from your main computer. They are quite cheap now, for their storage volume. This is my preferred main medium.
2) If you have two computers:
2a) Connect them through a router
2b) Connect them using a Direct (w/Mac) or Crossover (PC/PC) Ethernet cable (See: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html)
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. See: here as an example.
Copy the files and folders from one computer to the other. Use the second PC as your backup repository.
3) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7+ GBs each) with the music data files and store them safely. Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your DVD drive can manage these).
4) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #3 above and store them safely in more space Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your CD drive can manage these).
5) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB – 4+GBs) to store the files only if you have a small amount ripped music or have multiple and/or jumbo USB drives at your disposal that will fit your music library.
6) Use the second internal hard drive (if available) of your PC -- not optimum, as you really want to physically separate the storage of backups from the originals, but good as a tertiary storage device.
By keeping only one copy of your music (other than on the iPod), you are not truly 'backed-up' and are running a high risk of losing your music. Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
It is a good policy to backup all your important data. It is a very smart policy to back it up on more than one medium.
External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. Very cheap backup insurance, indeed. See This Link
