Can no longer burn cds?

I recently upgraded Itunes and now it says i can't burn cds from my Itunes store purchases.
Why is this please? Does this mean that I can no longer keep copies of my Itunes music on CDs to use on another system?
I would appreciate some enlightenment for this please.

The registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing . This can be a result of installing other cd burning software. Please re-install itunes.

  • Upgraded to v. 6.0.1, can no longer burn CDs.  Details below.  Please help!

    Like many other users, I can no longer burn CDs since my recent upgrade to version 6.0.1. I was able to burn CDs with no problems before this upgrade, but now when I click "Burn Disc", iTunes freezes with no error message. I have to exit out using Ctrl-Alt-Del, as iTunes is not responding.

    The answer is in the diagnostic! Go to the Toshiba site (I've been so nice and found the link for you!)

    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

  • I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists. The format shows up as m4a - which never used to happen.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists.  The songs are now formatted as m4a, which might be making them unreadable by my CDs, although this never used to happen before.  Can you help?  Thanks very much.

    After you select Burn, you need to select AudioCD in the pop-up window.

  • I can no longer burn CDs  - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try slower speed, try another make of disc"  Still doesn't work

    I can no longer burn CDs  - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try a slower speed, try another make of disc"  Tried that, still doesn't work.

    Try a free burning utility which allows you to turn off the laser for test burning (so you don't waste media).  Try burning a test CD outside of iTunes.  If it works it's iTunes. If it doesn't work it could be computer software or hardware but then we know how to proceed.

  • Can no longer burn CDs in iTunes

    I have successfully been burning CDs in iTunes until recently. I can now no longer burn an audio CD. The CDs I am using are the same as before (CD-R, same make etc) and I am trying to burn albums purchased through iTunes. No error message comes up, it just doesn't burn. I have the latest version of iTunes loaded but can't remember when I loaded this. Perhaps my problems have occurred since then? Can anyone help?

    Correction... Running OS 10.6.7

  • HELP! I updated my software and can no longer burn cds using iTunes

    I followed all of the troubleshooting steps for not being able to burn a cd. I was able to burn cds with other cd burning programs installed on my pc, but itunes was the only program that would not burn the cd correctly. itunes would go through the entire process of burning: check media, check playlist, burn cd, finish burning cd. itunes would even ask me if I wanted to import the new cd into my playlist after it finished "burning" my cd but there was never anything on the cd. I also tried playing the cd using other programs and in other equipment but it never worked. I updated my software recently and I thought I could try to go back to an older version because I never had this problem before. However, when I uninstalled the newer version and tried to reinstall an older version of itunes, the older version of itunes refused to open because my music library was apparently created by the newer version of itunes. I don't know what to do to be able to burn cds again. At this point, I would much rather use another cd burning program but itunes is the only program that will burn the songs that I've purchased from itunes onto a cd.

  • Can no longer burn CDs to play in my car

    I'm not a huge iTunes user, so it's been a while since I downloaded some new songs.
    What I'm finding is that the songs I've downloaded and burned to a CD will not play on my car stereo. I'm willing to pay the .30 extra for each song, but I can't even find out how to do so, or even find anything about iTunes plus in the iTunes store!
    I DID, however get a message asking me if I wanted to pay the extra .30 for some songs I downloaded long ago!
    What I want is to be able to play the last 11 downloads in my car. I'm willing to pay, but can't find out how.
    Any suggestions?

    You have always been able to burn even copy protected tracks to an Audio CD. That hasn't changed. All tracks sold on the iTunes Store now are DRM free. Track prices now range form .69 to 1.29 but the price is unrelated to copy protection.
    You may still be using the same brand/type of discs but are you still burning in the same format? When you select the playlist that you want to burn to a CD, then press "Burn CD", you get a dialog box that offers you options. Be sure you have "Audio CD" selected.
    If, what you're really trying to do is burn an MP3 cd, you'd first need to make sure that all of the tracks in the playlist are mp3s. If not, you'd need to convert them. You'd need to make sure that your import settings were set to mp3 by going into Preferences>General and pressing the Import Options button and selecting the desired mp3 settings. Then, you select the tracks you want to convert, and from the Advanced menu, choose Create mp3 version. Note: this creates a new mp3 track. It doesn't change the existing track. And, it doesn't work on protected tracks. Protected tracks, as noted above, can be burned to an Audio CD which you can then use as you would any other Audio CD.
    Best of luck.

  • Can no longer burn cds that will play in my car's cd player

    Yesterday I tried to burn a replacement CD for one that got damaged. The disc was one I created in Itunes a couple of years ago. It won't play in either my sound system's cd player or my car's. The only thing that has changed is the version of Itunes (current) and my OS which is now 10.6.8. I also bought an album from Wofgang's Vault, and got identical results. I tried to burn in both Itunes and straight to the CD burner. I tried audio format vs MP3. I tried a windows machine with a different CD burner, the same machine actually that I was burning Itunes discs on originally. Same results. Is this a Rights Management issue? Has something changed recently in this regard? How do I make CD's that I can play in the car?
    Thanks for your help

  • Can No Longer Burn DVDs

    I have a Lenovo G700 series laptop and have recently found that I can no longer burn DVDs.  I can burn CDs and the drive can read DVDs & CDs.
    I trawled the forums for any clue of what has gone askew including the registry fix, tried different media, different burning programs, files vs disc images and still no result.
    I, and also a friend who works in IT suspect a hardware fault and, since still under warranty, contacted the support helpline who were quick to answer.  went through all the options for diagnostics and came down the "hit the system with the One-Key-Recovery" option to reset it back to factory preset condition to see if that fixed it.
    Problem........
    I have spent a very long time getting this machine set up with my home studio software etc and have large amounts of data which beggers the question, do I want to go through all that and how do I back up all my data prior to that as the machine will be wiped with no DVD writer.  I assured the guy on the phone that we we almost certain that it was the ODD hardware that had failed and could he send out a replacement?
    Being still under warranty, I would have to return it to the service center where they would......... guess what, reset to factory preset prior to fitting the new hardware to ensure that the hardware was indeed faulty.
    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!
    Catch 22 
    Why can they not just send out a replacement drive for me to fit myself?
    Warranty runs out in September which is probably how long it will take me to zip and backup my data using CDs or for out a pile of cash on a USB HDD all for the price of a replacement drive.
    Can someone please help?

    Anyone know how I can get someone from Lenovo Customer Support to read & reply to this post?  I'm not that sussed with forum methods.

  • Can no longer burn DVD's on my MacBook Pro

    As the title says, I can no longer burn DVD's. I can burn CD's but not DVD's. I get Sense= code errors and stuff no matter what burner I try out. It doesn't always want to read the DVD's either but ejects them one- two times before it surrenders and starts reading the disc. I've had this Mac for about 1.4 years and I haven't been sitting around every day since, slotting 30 discs in and out of it all day long, i.e the drive hasn't seen that much action to justify this problem.
    It can't have anything to do with the media as I've been reading a lot about since the DVD's I try to use have worked perfectly fine before this problem popped up. And I find it hard to believe that my $3200 Mac aint equipped to burn these things and especially not since it was able to earlier. It stopped burning about 2-3 months ago so my guesstimate is that one update or the other from Apple screwed things up but I have no idea how to find out what that might be or more to the point how to solve it.
    So, since I strongly disbelieve the media factor ( I have tried different brands and that if it would only be able to burn Verbatim discs then that would be ridiculous ) I wonder if there's any real solution to this. Any firmware to be found for it or some such? I've tried to browse around the Downloads section but can't seem to find anything that addresses this issue. I've also googled quite a bit about it and I've found many others who experience the same problem(s) but never any real solution for it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    A lot of folks have found that running a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through can often fix this sort of calibration and sensor problem, it only takes a small spec of dirt or dust to cause errors ...

  • Can no longer burn audio cd's -- urgent -- is iTunes update defective?

    I'm a composer-- we're getting ready to record another cd and I desparately need help here!!
    I can no longer burn an audio cd from a play list! It burns but not as an audio. I also looked on directions and I'm supposed to be able to do this.
    These are my tunes that I wrote and uploaded into the library and then moved to a play list
    When trying to figure out what happened, I noticed that itunes had been automatically updated to the most current version on my computer --
    I was still on 10.3 which doesn't support it -- I've since downloaded the 10.3.9 (plus checked other required software that's supposed to be updatyed) and still cannot burn the cd's
    Please help --

    I won't pretend this is a welcome suggestion...but if worst comes to worst, you could consider purchasing Toast.

  • Can no longer burn dvds or upload

    Recently my premier elements 11 stopped being able to burn a dvd or upload to youtube...
    dvd just goes to indexing but never continues. Upload to youtube stops at 81 % and freezes.
    No real error messages. Tried re-installing software but does the same thing.
    Worked for last 4 years on same PC running windows 8...now wont?
    HELP!

    (I'm replying to your comments from below and:  I'm including 2 other individuals (CC) in this reply; asking for their help as well, if they have any potential answers for me.)  Please advice ...
    I'm using Adobe Premier Elements 11 on an HP Windows Pro 8.1 desk top PC.  It's been working perfect since I loaded it in 2011.  I produce and create a 30 minute TV show for a couple of my local community TV Stations in the area as well as make videos on real estate and publish them to You Tube (Finding New Neighbors <<< see my You Tube Network for sample of my videos).  I also create DVD's for real estate properties to use during open houses and as marketing tools for real estate.  I also make training videos for the local Board of Realtor's.  Uploading these videos to You Tube and burning DVD's is very critical to my business. 
    I currently have episodes of the TV show ready to burn but I can't get them to burn so I can turn them into the TV Stations for airing.
    It was working perfect until recently; however, I can no longer burn a DVD or upload to You Tube.  The edit program seems to be working fine.  I can still create videos, edit and view videos on the program but I can't send them anywhere to be used in any way.  When I attempt to burn a disk; it gets ready to burn then nothing happens.  When I attempt to upload to You Tube; it will "Render" and start to Upload but then it get's to about 61% to 99% (uploaded) then freezes up and never finishes.
    I've had our office computer support person in working on my PC for the past 4 days and we're getting no where.  He did find a virus and cleaned it out.  Everything "seems" to be working now except my DVD burner and uploading videos to You Tube.  I even reloaded the Adobe Premier Elements 11 software to see if that could be an issue.  It made no difference. 
    Somehow, the program is no longer speaking properly to whatever pathway it needs to, in order for the DVD's or You Tube to receive the video/s and finish.
    I really need to get this fixed; otherwise, months worth of work is lost and I will not be able to create or publish any future videos.  I really need this working.  Any help would be appreciated immensely.
