Burning Playlist Problem - Help!

I've been getting the message "Can't detect disc burner or software..." when i try to burn a playlist from iTunes. It's worked before, but this has only happened since updating the software (7.4.2) - anyone got any idea what i can do?

Ohhh .. sorry, should have read your question fully. Making the play list is not your problem. Are you recreating the player for each track? are you calling
player.stop() and player.close() at the end of every track, then making a player for the next track? If you aren't then the resources are not being released.
For working with the volume, you need to use a GainControll eg;
GainControl gain = player.getGainControl();
gain.setLevel((volume.getValue()) * 0.3f);

  • Burning Playlist Problem

    Trying to burn some music to a cd and having some trouble. A lot of my music is AAC, so I make my playlist, select all items and choose conver to MP3, clear that playlist and copy back in the MP3 versions (using the date to identify the tracks).
    This has always worked a treat, until today.
    Now when I drag the files into a new playlist they temporarily show as the MP3's I just created, but then switch to the AAC originals. Can't understand why this would happen, though could be related to iCloud?
    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    I ran the diagnostics...here is the report:

  • PLAYLIST PROBLEM--Help if you Can!

    Okay, so I just got an iPod Nano 4th Generation and I know nothing.
    I had a number of music and other audio files in my iTunes Library, all together in the main playlist as I didn't know how to make separate playlists.
    When I plugged my iPod in, I thought it might let me select which tunes I wanted from the Library playlist by checking them, BUT NO, it just sucked every bit of audio (that it understood) onto the iPod whether I wanted it there or not.
    Then, I thought I would be smart (never try to outsmart a machine!) I thought I would create a separate playlist for the audio I DIDN'T want on my iPod, and leave what I DID want in my iTunes Library. I managed to create a playlist, and got some of the tunes from the Library to the new Playlist, although there was some audio (phone messages and other files which were not tunes) it didn't seem to like and although it was in the iTunes Library would not transfer to the new playlist.
    Then, it played a DIRTY ROTTEN TRICK on me. I had a tune I wanted in the new playlist but NOT the Library or iPod, so I deleted it from the iTunes Library and IT TOOK IT OFF THE NEW PLAYLIST, TOO! Now, what's the point of having separate playlists, if you can't have some things in one, and some in another?
    Meanwhile, the best way (really, since there are not many tunes on it) I see of getting the unwanted audio off my iPod is just to Refresh--since I tried the instructions (as far as I could make them out) for deleting individual tunes, and it didn't work, so to heck with it--trouble is, now the iPod copy of the one tune is the only copy I have! So is there a way I can:
    1. Get this audio OFF MY iPOD, (since there doesn't seem to be a way to recover deleted audio in iTunes--is there?) into the iTunes playlist in which I want it in but NOT my main iTunes Library and
    2. Get the other audio out of my main library to the new Playlist
    so I can at least start all over? Also, once I get things on the iPod the way I want (ha) can I put tunes already on the iPod into another Playlist and delete them from the main Library playlist, so it doesn't copy them all over the next time I try to put something on my iPod? Thanks for any helpful suggestions!

    if I don't want it on the iPod I delete it straight out of the library
    Then you don't need to tick *Sync only checked items*.
    I'd like to keep the albums as playlists, you know, in case anything happens to this iPod or I get another.
    Don't know what this means. If you get another iPod, just plug it in whether you have playlists or not.
    You don't need to keep individual playlists for each album. iTunes menu View -> Show browser to see each individual Genre, Artist and Album.
    You don't need ANY playlist to put everything onto the iPod.
    Just select the iPod in iTunes, click the Music tab and select *Sync all music and playlists*.
    And you can use iTunes without the iPod.

  • I have a 2008 imac with snow leopard.  i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users.  Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD.   Anyone else with this problem?  CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update?

    i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard.  i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users.  Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD.   Anyone else with this problem?  CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update?  Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update!  it just saves gray.

    If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Or you can:
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

  • Has anyone had problems trying to burn playlists to CD's so tht they can play on standard CD players.

    Has anyone had problems trying to burn playlists to CD's, so that they can play on regular CD players?

    Yes, I have had problems playing burned IDVD's on stand alone dvd players and on pc's.
    I have set the burn speed to 4x and as low as 2x to no avail.
    I will try Verbatim discs and DVD-R  to see if that resolves my problem.
    I will also make sure of the minimum of 25 gb free space on hard disk.
    Do you prefer a particular cleaning-dvd?  I've never used one on my macmini.
    Thanks for your responses, I'm anxious to try your suggestions and see what happens.

  • Please help. I do not have the "burn playlist option when I am on itunes. I have a playlist, but no matter what I do, I can not figure out how to burn it. There are no burn options anywhere

    I can not burn my playlist. Everyone keeps talking about this magic "burn playlist, or "burn cd option, but I can not find it anywhere. I have a playlist ready to go and a cd in, and ready to burn. I am at a loss for what I am not doing, or missing. Please help

    Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
    To unhide your purchases
    Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.

    Are your optical drivers up to date?  Try updating the drivers, if that was the case in the Device Manager. Hope it works.

    Thank you very much

    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane.  This brings you to the Summary tab.  Locate and click on the Music tab.  What configurations do you have made from under this tab?  Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

  • Problems burning playlist (audio cd) - multiple cd's; 7.7.1.11

    Hi,
    I've been trying to burn playlists that have more than 1 CD worth of songs. I have encountered multiples issues:
    1) Insert a blank cd and the burn hangs. Can't eject cd inside iTunes or from windows. A reboot is necessary. The cd is partially written and now unusable.
    2) Multiple times, it will write 1 cd (or more) and then partially write a subsequent cd. One did 9 of 16 songs (inserting the cd, it appears that all 16 are written -- they show up from windows and in iTunes) -- the 10th song is skipped and all subsequent songs are as well. The cd then will not eject (see 1 above) at this point.
    The CD drive works fine with Roxio (same batch of cd's) and is up to current firmware.
    It's pretty frustrating to not be able to burn long playlists to multiple cds. I've wasted alot of time and CD's in trying to do this.
    A side note -- I am doing this since Apple will not allow mp3 cd's to be made of m4p's bought in the itunes store. Our family has 6 ipods and I am trying to convert these to use in slideshows of pictures that I have -- which I prefer to have in mp3 format -- for personal use. It really is stupid to me to not be able to do this for things I have legally purchased and intend to use solely for personal use. Why won't Apple let their aac/m4p's be converted to mp3 (and saying it's to avoid piracy is silly -- yes, some people will do this, but a vast majority of people are honest -- well maybe not vast majority but a majority at any rate). It's frustrating -- and I dont' want to pay $30 to get a virtual cd to do this -- I already paid for the songs and don't want to pay to convert them.
    thanks,
    greg

    +"It's pretty frustrating to not be able to burn long playlists to multiple cds. I've wasted alot of time and CD's in trying to do this."+
    That feature of iTunes has always been buggy. Don't trust it. Break the playlist into individual playlists that will each fit on an audio CD.
    +"Apple will not allow mp3 cd's to be made of m4p's bought in the itunes store. Our family has 6 ipods and I am trying to convert these to use in slideshows of pictures that I have -- which I prefer to have in mp3 format -- for personal use."+
    Don't buy M4Ps. Downloadable songs in MP3 format are readily for sale at the *amazon.com MP3 Download Store* and other online stores. The Apple protected files are only for use in Apple products, and clearly that limitation does not suit your purpose, so don't shop there.

  • Can't Burn Playlists to Disc ... Error 43 ... iTunes was Not Properly Installed ... Diagnostics Included

    Hi. Immediately after installing iTunes a dialogue window appears stating that "itunes was not properly isntalled. if yuou wish to import or burn cds you need to reinstall itunes." This happens even after I complete the installation w/ antivirus disabled.  Indeed, I am unable to burn playlists to cds.  Upon attempting to do so, iTunes produces the ambiguous error message:  "Disc Recording not found ..."
    My instinct tells me this is a problem w/ the GEAR driver software. I've uninstalled the driver manually, and then reinstalled it as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308 (Solution 3). Still, the problem persists.
    Any ideas?????

    If it's any help I have found I can't burn discs any longer in this precise version of iTunes. I have gone back to the previous version where everything is fine in this respect. My symptoms were not quite the same as yours but the result was the same - I couldn't burn discs. Yours is the first post on this I've found so I suspect Apple may not be aware of the issue or it is affecting relatively few users. If I find a solution I will post again and meanwhile hope that the next update solves the problem.

    I have the same problem as charlottemarriot (can't burn playlists, 30 April). My old version of iTunes worked beautifully but I have just installed iTunes 6 and it says 'no items checked in playlist' even though all the items clearly are checked.

  • ITunes 11 - Burning Playlist to Audio CD fails when including CD Text

    I just started running into an issue where I am unable to burn an Audio CD and include CD text. 
    I tried everything including different burn speeds and cannot get it to work.  I get the error:
    The attempt to burn a disc failed.  An unknown error occured (4000).
    Luckily nothing is ever written to the CD, so I am not making coasters.
    For kicks to make sure iTunes CD burning was working for anything, I selected Data CD instead of an Audio CD, and the Data CD succesfully burned.
    Then I attempted to burn the Playlist and unchecked "Include CD Text", and the CD was successfully created.
    It has been a while and that means it was with a prior version of iTunes, but I have successfully burned playlists with CD Text.  How come this is not working in iTunes 11.0.0.163?
    Anyone have any recommendations how to fix the CD Text Issue?
    John
