    Everytime I insert a blank CD into my iMac, it spits it out. How can I fix this so I can burn CDs?

    Try using a LensCleaner Disk first off. If that won't even run try a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Then use the Lens Cleaner again. Make sure your disks are immaculately clean.

    drag converted mp3 files to i-tunes and then i can burn cds is that correct??
    mr g
    Correct. Dragging the MP3s into iTunes adds them to your iTunes library. Once they are in your library, you can add them to a playlist. When you have your playlist in the right sequence, click on File > Burn Playlist to Disc.

  • Can burn CDs but not DVDs

    My CD/DVD drive worked fine until 3 weeks ago.  I tried to burn home movies to DVD using Nero and it stopped burning.  I restored my computer to factory condition and reinstalled Nero.  No help.  I bought a newer version of Nero and switched from Sony DVDs to Verbatim.  No help.  Then I discovered that I can send files to my Drive E: and burn CDs but not DVDs.
    I downloaded all the Microsoft updates.  I have recovery discs but that is a lot of work all over again when I'm not even sure it will help.  I have 2 external drives where I keep my files and backup but I would still need to setup email and reinstall my programs.
    I was about ready to buy a new drive for the computer when I saw on the internet that other people have this problem too.  I would really rather get the drive I have working.

    Hi,
    Sounds like hardware problem, not software. Please clean the lens first, please try:

  • Where Is Mail Stored So I Can Burn CDs to Get It Off Hard Drive?

    i have so much mail in various mailboxes which i no longer need to access, but i want to save it on CD in case i need to look at it in the future.
    can someone please let me know in which directory this mail is kept? i tried to do this once before, thinking i could just drag the folders out of the program, and burn those.
    but when i checked them, the messages weren't there. presumably they're stored somewhere like the Library.
    also, i am planning to upgrade to Tiger and want to get the old mail off my hard drive before i do that.
    thanx.

    Glad I could help.

  • I can burn CDs from Windows Media Player, but not from itunes.  I always get Error 2131.  How do I transfer music files from itunes to Window Media Player Library?...or convince itunes to burn a CD?

    Cannot burn CD from itunes.

    The thing is, they are in the unprotected format? (
    They are protected WMA from when you RIP'd them with WMP. iTunes will not read them.
    Go to WMP Tools -> Rip Music.
    Under Rip settings, it is set to *Windows Media Audio* and most likely *Copy protect music* is ticked. This is how it is protected.
    You will need to reRIP them all from CD.

  • I noticed that iTunes is making all my imported music m4a, instead of MP3, now I cannot burn cds.  Can you change m4a's to MP3's?

    I noticed that iTunes is changing all my music I import into m4a, instead of MP3.  Now I cannot burn MP3 cds.  Is there anyway to change the m4a into MP3 so I can burn cds & listen to the cds in my car?  The M4a do not play in the car.

  • Registry settings for burning CDs/DVDs missing when Itunes installed

    I have recently had to reinstall ITunes following a computer crash. I am unable to burn to CD - when I start up ITunes I am told that the "registry settings are missing" and am told to reinstall, which I have done without success. I have not loaded any other CD/DVD burning software, and can burn CDs using other programmes. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Blank DVD will not load so that I can burn to it

    Hello,
    I have been trying to burn playlists in itunes onto a blank dvd. I can burn CDs, but when I try to insert a blank DVD, it checks media and spits it back out. Neither will my MAC show the blank dvd on my desktop when I insert it outside of iTunes. I have an internal DVD drive and an external one....same story!!??
    The very last time I tried to burn a DVD in iTunes, it started, but then I got some strange message about the spool running out?? I've never seen it before.
    I have verified and repaired my preferences. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
    Thanks,
    John

    John,
    what kind of DVD? Plus or Minus?
    If using Plus media try to switch to Minus.
    btw. what kind of drive came with your Mac?

  • Burning CDs troubles

    When I try to burn a CD it says can't find disc burner or software. Even though I can burn CDs and DVDs when ever I want.

    Found a solution for my Win-7 64bit machine at this link.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1973559
    I was missing the "GEARAspi.dll" file in the "C:\Window\SysWOW64" directory after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.x. I then went to iTunes 9.1.1.12 with same problem. Performed a search on Google and found the above post buried in Apple discussions.
    The poster said that his "GEARAspi.dll" file was in a different directory. I performed a search for the driver on my machine and found it in several places. but not in the "C:\Window\SysWOW64" directory as suggested by the above post. I simply copied the file from another directory and pasted it into the "C:\Window\SysWOW64" directory. I already had iTunes open and immediately tried to burn a CD. It worked on the first try without restarting iTunes or rebooting Win7. This fix was fairly painless as opposed to all the other gyrations I see others trying. You will need to check all directories suggested. I can only verify that what I found on my machine worked for me. Good Luck.

  • Problems burning cds with Creative Media Sou

    Hello,
    Everytime I try to burn a CD with Creative Media Source it says "No supported CD recorder device is found". Can anyone explain to me what this actually means? Does this mean Media Source is not recognising my CD dri've? I can burn CDs successfully using other programs.
    Thankyou

    Your dri've may be a model that's not supported by MediaSource burner engine. See this Knowledgebase article SID5364 and follow the steps mention in the article to update your MediaSource burner engine.

  • Burning CDs from iPod playlist

    Hi, I want to be able to drag songs from my iPod playlists into the library stored in my computer, so that I can burn CDs. It won't let me drag them... help!

    I want to be able to drag songs from my iPod playlists into the library stored in my computer
    Do you mean from library to your playlist, right?
    Try to create a new playlist (not smart playlist), open iTunes ->Files-> New playlist. Then drag the songs from the library to the new playlist

  • When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message  "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software  Please reinstall

    When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
    "The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
      This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
    To my knowledge no new software has been installed.  I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
    get the same message.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions?  Do I need to download a new driver?
    Bill Martin

    I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
    Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
    If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

    Try updating your drives firmware. Click 'Firware Updates' on the right hand side of this page, then follow the instructions and download the update, then install. See if that helps. Its worth updating the firmware anyway :P
