    I am trying to burn a cd from a playlist of downloaded itunes songs. When I click on the songs and then click burncd I get a message that this computer is not authorized to burn this song. How do I authorize my computer?? Thanks

    YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T ACQUIRED THE RIGHTS TO THE MUSIC AND HAVE THEM STORED AS PLAYABLE BUT NOT BURNABLE MUSIC. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH YAHOO MUSIC AND RHAPSODY. IF YOU DOWNLOAD YOUR MUSIC FROM FROSTWIRE AND THEN BURN IT THRU ITUNES IT'S ALL FREE. AND WORKS FINE... I BEEN BUMPIN' MUSIC ALL DAY IN MY RIDE THIS WAY.

    Hi,
    I recently updated on my PC to the latest ITunes version.  When I attempt to burn a CD I get a message saying that if I want to burn a CD I must install ITunes but Itunes is already installed.

  • ELEMENTS 11 --can't burn a CD from Organizer..HELP!

    I have tried everything listed on this site--I had no problem burning CDs from Elements 8 Organizer....now I can't find how to do it in 11 Organizer.  Using Windows 8 .  Need to be able to burn individual albums easily to different CDs.  I click on Copy and nothing happens.  I click on Move/Copy and it only gives a MOVE option...not a copy option.  PLEASE HELP!  Have many CDs to burn!

    What happens when you right click on an album and choose Export to CD/DVD?
    Thanks

  • When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

    When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

    I'm not 100% sure but I think you create your play order manually then select the playlist, right click it (or use ctrl+click) & select "Copy to play order".
    I think when you burn that playlist it should obey that order, it has been so long since I made a mix CD that I'm not certain, good luck.

  • Can't burn a CD from playlist I have reduced speed to 2 but can only burn part of playlist and a medium error occurs

    Can't burn a CD from I tunes playlist, I have tried reducing speed to 2 but it will only record 11 of 19 tracks and it abort with a "medium Write error" message.
    I have tried changing CDs but this doesn't make any difference.

    From posts I've read all around the Internet, there does not seem to be a simple solution. The word "Medium" refers to Media (CD,DVD) So logically you'd think trying another brand CD would work, but you've tried that. Another alleged fix is reducing the write speed, and you've done that.
    Other fixes that worked for a few people were cleaning the optical drive with a cleaning CD or gently spaying compressed air into the slot to clean out any dust buildup.
    Searching these Forums will find a few threads on the topic (search "medium write error in iTunes")
    Googling the same search criteria brings up a whole page.

    I can't burn a cd from Itunes....If I try to burn a playlist it says i need multiple cd's and I only have 5 songs on that playlist. If I try to burn it anyway it doesn't do anything.

    Every time I attempt to burn pictures onto a CD, it goes through the usual steps, but then when it is close to verifying all the pic contents, it states, unable to complete, ERROR, etc.  Contact so and so and mentions possible firmware update.  Can anybody help me with what my next step would be?  I reloaded the pics, I haven't reloaded PSE yet. Any suggestions.  Please and thanks. email [email protected]

  • I am trying to burn some cds from my playlist on itunes, but my playlist shows many of my songs in light print and says that it will not burn because it is not a file, these are all songs I have purchased quite a while ago, how do i get them to files?

    I am trying to burn some cds from my playlist on itunes, but my playlist shows many of my songs in light print and says that it will not burn because it is not a file, these are all songs I have purchased quite a while ago, how do i get them to files?

    If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
    if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

  • I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

    I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

    Hello Sonni,
    It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38101
    If this is not the case, use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:

  • How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found.

    I deleted the original files from the Library iTines. The songs are still in the playlist. How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found. Thank.

    Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.

  • When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
    How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database.  Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer.  If you have one that matches that it will label it.  You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
    This script will only work on Macs:
