Can't burn CD on iPod video

Ok gang, I've checked the troubleshooting and FAQ on the apple website.
I have a playlist ready to burn to a CD. The 'burn cd' button is not appearing in the corner of iTunes. And when I click 'File', 'Burn playlist to CD' it is grayed out, so it's not available.
My CD burner works fine, I've checked my preferences to make sure it is reading my CD burner, all the music was appropriately bought and paid for through iTunes, and I don't know what else to try.
Can anyone help me?

I manage my ipod from work and another home computer. i think this is part of the problem.
Not part of the problem... it's the whole problem.
You can't burn directly from the iPod. You can only burn from your iTunes library.
You'll need to find a way to take these tracks off your iPod and put them into the iTunes library on the computer you are trying to burn the CD from.
This isn't such a simple task. You'll need to find some third-party software to take songs from your iPod and put them back into iTunes.
I have never done this on a Windows machine, but I know it's possible.
I think other users have had success with iPodAgent or Yamipod.

  • Why do I get an error message that says can't burn dvds or watch videos because of errors in register?  This occured after installing upgrade to 10.4

    Since updating itunes with 10.4 I get an error msg stating I can't burn CDs or put videos into itunes.  I tried repair option twice, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, same problem.  I do not have any CD/DVD burning software installed.

    I recently had to reinstall my software for a
    dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
    The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
    Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

  • What type of movie files can I put on my Ipod Video?

    What type of movie files can I put on my Ipod Video?

    the only formats that can be synced to the ipod video is .mov and .mp4.
    you need to convert the videos to these formats using 3rd party software.
    To use Videora iPod Convertor to convert movies for use on your iPod, consult these helpful links:

  • Can I burn BluRay hi-def video W/ Final Cut Studio & external BluRay burner

    According to this Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/whats-new.html
    and Selecting the demo video: “Easy Export”,
    I should be able with a new iMac and the latest version of Final Cut Studio, edit high definition 1920x1080i video from my Canon HV30, select a beautiful menu with chapter markers from DVD Studio Pro, and export to an external Blu-Ray burner and produce a Blu-Ray DVD disc compatible with most Blu-Ray players.
    Reading through these Discussion forums, I get mixed messages that this can’t be done, or can only be done with limitations, even using the latest FCP Studio suite of Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, etc.
    Other forum contributors recommend using Boot Camp and PC video editing software to get the Blu-Ray DVD.
    And please don’t tell me to use Toast 10 Titanium to burn a Blu-Ray movie onto a standard DVD. I never got a successful burn from Toast, and the menus/chapters just don’t work nor compare with iDVD.
    I am currently successfully burning standard definition, 16x9 DVD’s using Final Cut Express 3.5 and iDVD 7.0.4 with chapters, beautiful menus, with background music, etc, … using a 2004 iMacG5 PPC. The DVD video looks pretty good, but it is not hi-Def, and inferior to the video coming out of the Canon when connected directly to my Sony Plasma.
    Can I, or can I NOT, ……..burn hi-def 1920x1080 video onto BluRay media (with an external Blu-Ray Lacie? Burner) using a new Apple iMac and the latest Final Cut Studio software?
    I’m having second thoughts about spending a lot of money with Apple to get this done.
    Thank You in Advance

    Here's what you can do with the latest version of Final Cut Studio.
    -From within Final Cut Pro you can use the Share function from the menu.
    -This gives you several output options (DVD, iPod H264, etc..). Select BluRay
    -Click the create disk checkbox and a menu will slide out. This will enable you to add a basic pre-made menu for the disc. There are a few options, some being built-in menus with animations.
    -You can choose to export directly to a BD-R, to a DVD using AVCHD rendering, or to hard disk. I suggest hard disk. This will create a disc image file you can then burn using disk utility. FCP may start beach-balling during the burn process and you could waste a disc.
    -You then can click create, OR you can click Send to Compressor after making your menu selections. From Compressor you can make additional settings changes.
    I've been creating blurays this way since November. I use the Lacie external BD-R burner over USB. We've had a good experience so far. Some older bluray players will need their firmware updated to view these discs. While the quality isn't on par with hollywood produced blurays, it is still very impressive. The footage we've shot with the Panasonic AG-HPX170 and taken to bluray has blown our clients away.
    Notes: You cannot view the bluray you've created on your mac. You will need to test the disc on a stand-alone player or a bluray capable PC. As mentioned earlier, the menus it creates are very basic but functional. Loop option, chapter menus, and chapter titles as subtitles are as advanced as it gets.
    If you have additional questions please ask.

  • Can't put photos on ipod video 60gig

    I have a 60 Gig ipod, Vista OS, since updating to vista64 i can no longer add any photos to my ipod. i had to restore it at the same time and since can't upload any photos at all. says it is syncing for hours or days if i would leave it on that long, but no photos uploaded. I am assuming this is a vista issue but not sure. Is there a way around this problem? Everything else syncs up nicely including games, videos, music, audio books.... just not photos.
    Any suggestions? or when will this be updated on itunes?
    Garabaldi

    Vista has to be the biggest pile of monkey crap since, well, monkey crap existed!
    It has made it virtually impossible to use any USB devices without first going through hours of internet investigations. I started installing on Thursday evening around 9 PM and am still having problems almost 72 hours later!
    Yes, my Ipod took hours to be recognized, it kept asking me to install a driver over and over again, it continuously stays on DO NOT DISCONNECT and it will not allow photos to be put into the ipod. I am sure this is not an Apple issue so won't even try to pass the blame on to them. It is a MICROCRAP issue and needs to be pointed out to other life-long microcrap users.
    I am one of thos long time users that due to these ongoing vista issues am strongly pondering switching to Apple!

  • Burning error, can only burn 3 minutes of video on disk.

    I have wasted 6 disks by now. The burning ends much earlier than normal, then got a message saying burning/? ( sorry can't remmber) error.
    The disk still can be played but it contains only 2'50-3'00 of video. Tried other projects, same results.
    I got this problem after burning a few photo CDs, does this matter?
    Also from the very beginning of my experience with iDVD, I have been having a problem with audio encodeing, many times the programmes just stopped when encoding audio and I had to force quit. But next time it may go through without any trouble, I mean the same imovie project. Confused!
    Many thanks.

    (Thanks to Len "iDVD Guru" Goff for the copy & paste:)
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Can I burn a purchased Itunes video onto a DVD?

    Does anyone know if I can burn a purchased video in ITunes to a DVD? I bought CNN Planet in Peril.

    Does anyone know if I can burn a purchased video in ITunes to a DVD?
    Not onto a video DVD. A data DVD will work, but these will only play in iTunes and are subject to authorization.

  • How can I burn my HD camcorder videos to a HD dvd to play on my AVCHD plyer

    I had a program on my windows PC that came with my Panasonic HD camcorder called HDWriter. I would transfer my videos from my camcorder to my windows PC. Then from the HDWriter I would burn my discs to watch on my BluRay player. HDWriter is not compatible with my Imac. Does anyone have any suggestions a what program I can get to accomplish this? I have a lot of videos that I transferred from my Windows PC.
    Thank You

    Get Toast 10 with BluRay plugin.
    I don't know if it will import AVCHD direct from your camcorder, but it will take the results from iMovie and burn them into a BluRay AVCHD format.

  • I can't import files into Ipod video, and can't view it on 'My Computer"

    this is funny, i can't view the ipod icons in 'my computer'. In other verisions of ipods, it is possible, but not this one. I was going to put files into my ipod, games, and other stuff. But it won't work. Can't even upload the folder from I-tunes

    Plug in your iPod.
    In: edit->preferences->ipod, make sure that 'Enable Disk Use' is checked.
    You can't put games on your iPod, at least not games that will run on your iPod.

  • I can't update my 30GB iPod video...

    This isn't really a problem for me since my iPod still works fine, but curiosity is getting the best of me so I thought I'd ask.
    The last few times I've sank up my iPod to iTunes, it says there's a new iPod update (1.3 I think) and asks if I would like to update. Well I like keeping up to date on these things, so I click yes. So it downloads in the little Download part at the side. But once it actually tries to update it, iTunes just quits. No error messages or anything. So I was wondering what might be the problem?

    I don't know. But I might suggest that unless you know the update is going to add something you want or fix something that effects your iPod, I would suggest NOT updating the firmware. If it ain't broke, don't go breaking it!

  • DVD movies to iPod video format

    I often travell on official business, I am trying to rip a DVD to my ipod. My friend told me that Sothink ipod- converter can convert DVD movies to IPod video format. I have downloaded and try it,I think the Sothink IPod Video Converter is designed to be an easy company for my IPod.

    If you want a really organized package for ripping your dvds into .mp4 "ipod" format use the dvd Decrypter and Videora ipod conveter. They are very organized and they put you in control of the video/audio settings... And it couldn't be easier. Here are the links if you wanna give these FREE programs a shot
    Videora ipod converter - http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    Dvd Decrypter - http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/
    ps... You need both because after ripping your dvd it becomes a .vob file..Ipod cannot read this so you must use videora to make it an .mp4 "ipod friendly" format.. Reply if problems occur please!!! Thanks...

  • ITunes 11.1.1 freezes when I connect iPod Video

    Ever since installing iTunes 11 on Windows 7 laptop, I can't plug in my iPod Video (5G) without crashing iTunes.  Every update to iTunes does the same, including 11.1.1.  My iPod works fine.  iTunes 10 works fine (on a different computer).  No way am I putting 11 on the other computer until this is resolved.

    Well, I'm pleased to say that I solved the problem (but not the mystery).  I tried all our Apple iDevices on my laptop (with iTunes 11.1.1), and they all worked OK, except the abovementioned 5G Video (including another 5G Video that I had).  When the 2nd 5G Video worked, I realized the problem lied with the 1st iPod, so I did a "Restore" (to original settings), and that seemed to do the trick.  I didn't think to do this before because the iPod worked fine otherwise, and worked with the old iTunes 10.7. 
    But here's the rub:  I HAD to use the old iTunes 10 to do the restore...because iTunes 11 crashed before I could do a Restore.  So, the mystery may never be solved, but at least all is now working.

  • The new iPod Video, xtra HD?

    hi, can I buy a 30GB iPod Video and use it as a backup HD? I need an iPod for portable music, possibly to watch some television DVDs on it, and to store Garageband and SoundStudio files. I might also want to store other files onto it, but currently audio is the only kind of media I use my comp. for. I have lost useful data twice, and don't want to again. I don't want to buy an external HD to backup data, plus I've been hankering for my own mp3 player anyways.
    thnx

    Stan,
    The iPod could work as a backup HD, but as long as you don't access it a lot. If you are always adding files to it and making the HD spin a lot, it could shorten the lifetime of your iPod. But, for just backing some stuff up every once in a while and to store some files, you should be fine.
