Can't burn CD after downloading iTunes 7.2

I just installed iTunes 7.2. Now I can't burn a CD.
When I insert a blank CD, iTunes opens, but the blank CD does not appear on the desktop and there is no burn button that says burn CD. The "burn disk" under File is in gray (inaccesible).
The help file is completely blank.
If I boot up the computer with a blank disk in the tray, I get a message that "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." However, the CD is the same kind I have always used so I don't know why it does this.
If I insert a CD that has been recorded on, everything works fine. Itunes opens, and the button for import CD appears.

I am having the exact same problem...but mine is OS wide...can't burn from iTunes, iPhoto OR even the Finder! Here is my post from the Tiger 10.4 Discussion board AND the iPhoto Discussion Board! HELP!
**Help! I can't burn a CD anymore. I try it in finder and get a can't communicate error...in iTunes...same thing...in iPhoto, (you guessed it...same thing)
I can read my created CD's just fine with no problems (those I have created as well as those from Apple [iLife 6.0, system DVD's that came with it etc.]). I have fixed permissions, erased and reinstalled 10.4 that came with my mini, and still have this problem.
The finder acknowledges a blank CD, but won't write to it...iTunes same thing...iPhoto the same thing.
Burner need replaced, or is it an OS problem? CD's bad (have sucessfully written to 35 of the 50 in the spindle Memorex CD-R Music)?**

  • After downloading iTunes, it won't open stating need Internet connection. But already connected to Internet. Happened on 2 different computers. How can I resolve this?

    After downloading iTunes,it won't open stating need Internet connection. Have Internet connection but program apparently doesn't recognize it. How can I resolve. This happened on 2 different computers.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

    42404 error after downloading itunes (20+ times!) can access the itunes store but can't do any downloads... itunes support has not offered any valid suggestions

    This is EXACTLY what happened to me and many others. Tech support returned most of my money but not all of it. Figure that one out! It is clear no music is downloaded (or in queue), it is clear an unknown error message is produced, and it is clear we, the consumer, are still being charged anyway. Will Apple require a credit card from its customers and alienate those that do not wish to use a credit card? Will Apple insult its customers and make silly suggestions such as 'Use an iTunes gift card' in much the same way a forum moderator has already recommended?
    I have an idea: Acknowledge the problem publicly (via email, for example) and fix it in a future update. Customers will be more understanding if they know there is a temporary problem and Apple is working hard to fix it. Oh, and return our money, please!

  • In the far left hand column, Devices keeps disappearing. I can get it back by downloading iTunes again but disappears again after I run disk utility.

    With a Device plugged in - place your mouse cursor over  DEVICES - you should see 'show' or 'hide'. Click on 'show'.

  • After downloading itunes 10.6.1 dosent open on my PC windows XP

    After downloading Itunes 10.6.1 in my windows XP dosent open when i click agreen on the first page, that is the far i can go.... Thanks

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • After downloading Itunes 7.6 I click and nothing happens

    I have windows XP and a gateway laptop thats about 3 years old. I recently bought a nano 3rd generation and after downloading Itunes 7.6 SUCCESSFULLY I click on the Icon and I get an hourglass then it goes away and nothing happens!
    Keep in mind I had an earlier version of Itunes on there before...Now I see alot of people have asked this question before but....has anything been resolved?? Can I do anything? I already tried uninstalling and then renstalling the old version and now the old one is doing the same thing! I dont know what to do...my brand new ipod is useless without this new version..

    Miz Katrina, haven't you read the other dozens of topics with the same problem ??? We appreaciate your answers, but users have tried everything !!! Different account, closing antivirus, QT working etc etc, there seems to be a deeper problem and Apple doesn't seemn to care at all...I am extremly frustrated because I wanted to buy an iPod Touch and without the latest version I won't be able to use it...please stop posting the same useless things over and over again...

    Are you able to successfully download an installer if you use Firefox instead of IE or vice versa? (Firefox handles network/internet connections differently from other browsers, so an issue in IE can sometimes be overcome by using Firefox or vice versa.)

  • I can't burn a cd from Itunes.

    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.

    BTW have tried two kinds of disks, one kind of which I have a burned playlist from last year so I don't think it is the disks.

  • 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:
