Burnt CD won't play

Music that I have purchased on iTunes won't play after being burnt to CD-R.  The disc will not play in any player....ie car or stereo.  However, it does play on the computer.  I have tried several different playlists and several different brands of CD-R and still nothing.  This is strange because I have burnt CD's in the past that play fine.  They are being burned as a audio disk, I have tried different speeds and I have tried two different computers.  Any solutions????

I found the solution to this issue. I tried a different make of CD-R and it works fine. My guess the drivers were different between to two operating systems and that was the problem.
Hope this helps.

  • Burnt CDs won't play on all CD players

    Either some or all tracks on a CD burnt on my eMac's SuperDrive will not play on some commercial CD players.

    I use a Pioneer CMX-3000 Dj CD player at home and it won't play burnt CD's from my emac - 1.2MZ USB 1GIG Super Drive (which was the whole point of the emac in the first place so disappointing).
    The Pioneer is a high end CD player that plays CD at 2 to 4 times the normal speed (allowing particular DJ functions because of it), but because of this is a bit picky about the quality of the burn CD itself.
    I have tried five different brands of media (non of them cheap) different software (Toast/iTunes etc) different setting and burn speeds. No joy.
    Oddly, I haven't been able to find a CD burnt in any other computer (I got my friends to burn a few - all using different media and software) and the CD player had no problem with those at all.
    My suspicion is that the Super drive doesn't do a good job of burning CD's, and hence teh bad quality can't be played by some CD players.
    haven't found much in the way of a solution so thinking of updating the super drive to a dual layer and possibly this might fix the problem (the Pioneer 109 seems popular).
    Although, as don't know who made teh super drive taht;s in there at the moment, not sure if this is just going to be another waste of money?

  • Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc

    Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc, does anyone know how to fix this?  The photo's I burnt on the exact same type of disc work fine in both pc and macbook but the videos will only play on the pc.

    If you are trying to play these on quicktime then what video format are those videos?
    Wmp's?  You need to install Flip4Mac. 
    Most other formats?  Install Perian.
    Or just use vlc instead.  It's a much better, more powerful, and more general video player.

    You can't boot OS X with a Windows boot device.
    Internet Recovery is the next step. Follow ssls6's advice.

  • ITunes Audio CD won't play on Music Centre CD player

    I have a DVD-R/RW Drive on my computer. I have checked the Burn settings in iTunes to make sure that the music (AAC) files burnt to a CD are Audio files. I make a new playlist and put the downloaded tracks into that and give it a name. Then I put an empty CD/R in DVD-R/RW drive. Then I click on the Burn button, and the music tracks burn, successfully, onto my CD/R.
    Once burnt, I test them on my computer, and they play by default in Windows Media Player, perfectly ok.
    The problem comes though, to when I want to play them on my separate CD player, an integrated part of my music centre. When I insert the CD, the music won't play, and then the CD is automatically ejected.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here is a copy of my Diagnostics

    Hi camoracer,
    Pleased to say that the CDR now plays on my home system too. I made a change to the Burn speed, reducing it from 'Maximum possible' in iTunes to 16x. I also took the tick out of play tracks at the same audio level.
    But thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

  • IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

    I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ?  Anybody help please.  Thanks

  • When leave I nano 4th gen connected to either of my cars it no longer restarts playing when car is restarted. Instead it shows 'no entry' in the song title on the car audio display and won't play until disconnected and reconnected.

    Nano has worked fine for a couple of years being left connected to either one of our cars. However, every time car is restarted it won't play without being disconnected and reconnected. I have done a full restore.
    Current cars are Range Rover Sport 2011 and Jaguar XK 2011.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks,

    I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

  • ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

    OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
    Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
    Any ideas?
    And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi!
    I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

  • Certain songs won't play on devices

    I have an iphone 5 and an older ipod colour 30gb.
    Recently the iphone wouldn't get new songs added to it during syncing with itunes.
    I removed all music then readded it. It now has all songs displayed on it, but will only play some.
    The ones which don't play have the stop icon next to them in the playlist view and are greyed out.
    It just skips to the next song when attempting to play. These songs played previously and are fine in itunes.
    They are imported not bought MP3's.
    After recently syncing the ipod recently it has the same issue, showing songs in the list but just skipping over them when playing.
    I am loath to restore both devices, as it would seem like an itunes issue if it is affecting multiple devices similarly.
    Is it possible to rebuild my library or something, or should i restore itunes?
    Im a reasonably experienced mac user so have checked what i hope are sensible things, inc d
    Ideas?
    Thanks!   

    In addition I have now:
    Reinstalled itunes,
    rebuilt my itunes library,
    restored my iphone and used a backup on it.
    It is still doing it! The songs which won't play or are greyed out etc are different this time again though.

  • Some random songs/albums won't play on iPhone

    I bought an album off of iTunes but after I synced my iPhone to my mac, the songs won't play on the iPhone. I did a spotlight search on the phone and it says they are on there but they won't play. I have my phone hooked up to my computer right now and it says i should have 1818 songs on the phone but in the phone's about section it says I only have 1773 songs. The unplayable songs range from being imported cd files to purchased songs from iTunes. I've tried restoring my phone, performing some disk utility stuff, reimporting my library on my mac, a lot of restarting and what not. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

    I've had the exact same problem, and I think it's related to the iOS 4.2.1 update. Certain songs will simply not play on my iPhone after the 4.2.1 OS update, even though they work fine in iTunes. I've re-synced multiple times to no avail. The problem also happens with ringtones, which means I've missed a number of alarms because the ringtone I chose for the alarm no longer works on the iPhone!
    I really hope Apple is planning to release a fix for this. It is incredibly frustrating.

  • [Help]iPhone 5s screen won't turn on / won't play sounds

    Hello, my name is Bryan.
    I've got a problem with my iPhone 5s. I opened my iPhone to fix an issue with the home button (Watched a guide on youtube on how to achieve this), and I connected everything as it is supposed to go, my home button is working but now my screen won't turn on or the phone won't play any sounds. I know the phone it's on because I can connect it to the computer and the computer recognizes it. Also, I tried calling it, and it rings on the phone I am calling from, but my iPhone simply won't play any sounds...
    I am also sure the phone is not in DFU mode.
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance,
    - Bryan

    It won't even vibrate or do anything, but it's on.

  • IPhone 4S skipping songs/won't play some

    I recently updated my iPhone 4S, in doing so, I had to reset it and restore it from my back up. Now that I've done that, when I'm playing music from my iTunes, it wil skip the most recently added songs and won't play them at all if you try and click on them manually to play them. It shows them as on my phone in my iTunes on the computer, but won't play them. HELP! Alot are for my wedding and I can't figure out how to fix this!!

    Hi, In my case I had a memory space problem. Some songs were on the phone and some not.
    - Gain space on your phone (copy alle the photos to hard drive before, then delete them)
    - Sync your phone again with iTunes, he will copy the songs on your phone

  • Upgraded to 2.0, now music won't play

    Just upgraded my non-3G iPhone to 2.0. Two main issues:
    1.) Purchased music no longer plays on my iPhone. All other songs (from CD, etc.) play fine, all other noise gets through, but purchased tracks will not play.
    2.) Pandora app doesn't seem to want to start up. It installs, and when I activate, the startup window for Pandora shows up and then the app closes without any chance to input anything.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem including movies that won't play. It'll play movies I created but nothing I've purchased. I'm on hold right now with iPhone support at 1 hour and counting...

  • HT1386 Some of my music won't play on my iPhone

    Shortly after upgrading to the latest OS (7.0.2), I've noticed some of my music won't play on my iPhone.  I can see the songs but they have a red circle with a square inside it next to them and I can't do anything with them.  I have plenty of space and there's not "downloading from the iCloud" option. 
    Problem 2...some other people are having this problem and recommend wiping the music off my phone and re-syncing via iTunes but when I plug my phone in (or sync via wi-fi, either one) to sync, it hangs up on "waiting for changes to apply" and never wipes the music.  I've looked around at other complaints about this issue and none of the recommended "fixes" work.
    I assume this is going to require an OS patch of some sort.  What's the ETA on this and is there a way to get around it now?

    I have this problem too but all the songs that wont play arent downloaded from the itunes store theyre from another site
