Burning music from Itunes on to blank disc

I am attempting to burn a folder in Itunes to a blank disc but it will not allow me as the music in Itunes needs to be in MP3 format to burn. How do I resolve this issue? Thanks

If you are burning an Audio or Data disc, the songs can be in any format. However, if you are burning an MP3 CD, all the songs must already be in MP3 format.
If you need to convert songs to MP3, follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • Burning music from itunes

    When I burn to disk then play back on my home stereo it comes out mono, but when I play it in my car it is correct. Is it me burning wrong or is my home stereo the problem?

    What happens when you play a commercially-made CD on your home stereo? Do you get mono or stereo?

  • Cannot Burn or import music from itunes

    every time i open itunes i get a pop up that tells me that i must reinstall itunes before i will be able to burn or import music.
    i have gone round and round with tech support trying to figure out why i can no longer burn discs. i was told that my internal cd/dvd drive must have gone bad and that i needed a new one. i went and purchased one, an external drive, and STILL CANNOT BURN OR IMPORT MUSIC! I can copy CDs and DVD from my internal drive so i now know that my drive is not bad and that the issue is not with my computer it is with itunes. my question is how do i get itunes to recognize that i do infact have a working drive? and if i cannot burn music from itunes how can i get it somewhere else on my computer so i can?
    i am SO fed up with itunes and am about to just give up on it completely!
    please help! ANYONE!!!

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

  • When I try to burn music from my Playlist to a blank CD, the notification tells me that the list has too many minutes for the CD, even if I try to burn just one song. What's going on?

    WHEN I TRY TO BURN MUSIC FROM MY PLAYLIST TO A BLANK CD, THE NOTIFICATION COMES UP AND TELLS ME I AM EXCEEDING THE NUMBER OF MINUTES THE CD WILL HOLD. THIS NOTIFICATION HAPPENS EVEN IF I TRY TO BURN JUST ONE SONG. WHAT'S GOING ON?

    Katy, you are completely doing things in the wrong order.  You can't burn songs if you can't even play them, and iTunes can't play them if it can't find them. 
    The exclamation point normally occurs if the song file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, renamed or deleted.  So if you encounter a track with an exclamation point, don't do anything else until you find the file.  It is usually somewhere else on your hard drive, or else in the Recycle bin.  Failing both of those, get it from your most recent backup.
    After your restore it, make sure it can play.  If it can play you can put it into a playlist.  Then you can burn the playlist.

  • HT5517 My AppleTv only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's.  How do I play this?  Thanks

    My AppleTV only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's that I am pulling my hair out to figure out how to play them.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  Thanks

    Your music library needs to be in iTunes on a Mac or PC. In iTunes enable Home Sharing and you should see your music library and playlists on the Apple TV. Both the computer and ATV have to be on the same WiFi network.
    See the following page on Home Sharing.

  • Backing up music from Itunes libray to DVDS

    Hi there,
    I have been trying to back up my music from Itunes to DVDs.The first disk is fine and then it says to insert 2nd disk which i did and then nothing happens. The back up doesn't continue.
    Can anyone please help me.
    Thank you much.
    Jen

    Just to add more info, it does seem the DVD-Rs that get spit backout are then wasted. if I put one in again, it gets spit out, asking that I put a blank one in. Wow...
    I've had 6 successful burns, but 9 'kickbacks' of blank DVD-Rs, rejected during the initializing for "medium white error". And those are no good now.
    Any help?

  • Program Closes if I Drag Music from iTunes

    My iDVD '08 program closes as soon as I attempt to drag music from iTunes into the DVD clip for sound/music. I have made previous DVDs in the past using this program and have never had this problem. Steps I have taken so far:
    1. Restarted the computer;
    2. Checked for updates to the program/computer (everything up-to-date);
    3. Attempted to save the project under a different name;
    4. Started an entirely new project.
    None of these steps have worked so far. Any suggestions?

    Hi fatbum
    Welcome to apple discussions. First quit iDvd. Then drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash if you haven't already, restart your mac and then repair permissions from apple's disc utility.
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    You state you have run software updater already, Good. Now I'd like you Not to turn off your mac for at least 24 hours. Set energy saver controls to never. Screen saver is ok but do not allow the hard drive to sleep. Then try iDvd again. Sometimes it takes a while for the OS to fully index so please be patient.
    Please verify you have no less than 25 GB's of available hard drive space remaining on the boot volume (your main HD). Otherwise all of the above is in vain.

    When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"?  This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

  • Saving music from iTunes library to an external drive so I can upload to my vehicle

    I am trying to download my music from itunes and store on a flash drive or mp3 player. My car has a component that allows you to upload your music and it will be stored in the music collection. Lately, I've been burning CDs then uploading but this is very time consuming. Can you download your music from itunes to a flashdrive or mp3 player? If so, how is this done.

    Hi Tosca,
    Flash drives differ a bit in style and form factor, but the main thing to look for is storage capacity.  if you haven't shopped for a flash drive in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised in how many Gigs they can hold for not too much $$.
    When you copy files from iTunes to a flash drive, it is a plain copy with no format conversion.  If your target system needs MP3, make sure they are in MP3 in iTunes before you start.  Some car players can handle other formats too.  If anything needs to be converted, see this document:

  • Apple TV plays music from Itunes for 1 second only

    The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks but when I play one the music only plays for 1 second before stopping.  Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.  I've reset all of my settings on the Apple TV.  Music plays from Itunes out of my laptop when I have the device set to computer. If I select Apple TV as the device, the song wont play and just hangs, but on the television bottom left corner it will show the track information as though it was going to play for one second before it changes to a blank treble clef image labled "untitled".  Any ideas?

    If I play it from the ATV Menu : The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks.  When I play a track the music plays for 1 second and then stops.  Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.
    If I play it from Itunes via airplay : The song wont play at all and just hangs, but on the bottom left corner  of the TV (that the apple tv is connected to) it will show the track information (Album image + song name) as though it was going to play, but one second later it changes the track information to a blank note image labled "untitled" and no music.

  • How do I record music from Itunes to a dvd to play on a Sony DVD player dvp sr500h?

    How do I record music from Itunes to a dvd, that shows it is finishing but will not play on my hardrive or on a Sony DVD player, dvp sr500H?

    If you are burning a DVD directly from iTunes (a feature which is present in older versions of iTunes but which was removed in iTunes 10.4), that creates a computer-type DVD for backup only and cannot play in any DVD player I know of. If you want to create a disk that can play in a DVD player, you'll need to burn an audio CD, an MP3 CD if the player will accept MP3 CDs, or use some other software.
    Regards.

  • Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

    Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

    Hi OrangeOAK,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,
    Mario
