Can't burn CD's from playlist

I downloaded every CD in my collections to I-Tunes and then created a playlist consisting of one album. When I went to burn to CD I received the following message. Files can not be burned to an audio CD. When I click on each song it says the file can not be found.How is this possible when I selected it from my library? When I ask I-tunes to locate the file that does not work either. Any thoughts?

When you right-click and choose Show in Explorer, can you see the song file? If iTunes does not have song the file accessible, it will not be able to burn it.

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.

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.

Burning Cd's from playlists

Hi, when i try to burn cd's from playlists everything seems to work when it comes to everything processing through but when i try and play the cd only about 12 out of the 18 to 19 songs play but the rest still register as being on the cd. Any help would be appriciated thanks

The general assumption is taht if you have network access through iTunes, you'll have netwrok access through Windows, and that you can add any files in question to iTunes directly.
iTunes doesn't allow you to burn files from a shared playlist.

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:
Burning disc in iTunes for Windows using a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive fails with 4280 error
http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38101
If this is not the case, use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Can't burn a CD from iPhoto to finder

I can't burn a CD from Iphoto to finder or from dropping the files into a folder on desktop ? The apple specialist couldn't do it either, what do I do?

Could you please describe what you - and the Apple person - did, and what happened.
The procedure I use is 1. with Finder active, click File and select New Burn folder. That produces this on my desktop.
2. Next I drag and drop the files I want to burn to that folder.
3. Then I select the folder, go back to File in the menu bar and select Burn... to disc.
After the burn is done I trash the Burn Folder (its contents are aliases).
Is that the procedure that did not work?

Can't burn a cd from elements 9 any ideas?

Can't burn a cd from elements 9 any ideas?
The problem seems to be that it will not display my devices for selection,

On a mac you can send the photos to imovie, iphoto, or iDVD if you have that. The only kind of video disc PSE can make (on either platform) is the horrible VCD format, which was never very good and is fast becoming obsolete. It's getting harder to find dvd players that can read that format.

Can't burn a cd from a playlist

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.

Can't burn CD's from PSE6

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]

Multiple Audio CD Burn, Navigation Away from Playlist Breaks Things...

Wonder if anyone else has noticed this behavior:
I was burning a playlist to Audio CDs. It was a 2 disc set. While iTunes was busy burning the first disc, I navigated to another play list, and looked at some stuff. Then I went to my Party Shuffle to see what was coming up (as this was already playing before I started the burn of the other playlist).
Then, the first disc completed and ejected itself. At this point, iTunes usually asks for another disc. But not this time. I put in another CD, but I was prompted by the system for action. It appears that if one navigates away from the playlist that you are burning, it breaks like this. In a previous 2-disc set I burned, I did not change the source (navigate away) and all operates as it should.
Anyone else experience this? Do you think it warrants a bug report?
Beavis2084

I think this is worth a bug report - unless there's a
way that you can start burning from the second CD
again
I looked and looked for a "resume" function, no joy.

I can't burn a disc from iTunes download....error 2131

error message 2131 stops me from burning a disc from my recent iTunes download. How can I get around this or fix this ......Windows XP.

The 2131 is usually related to out-of-date firmware on certain types of DVD/CD drives. But we'd better doublecheck that.

I can't burn a project from iMovie to a dvd why?

my mac didn't have idvd untill i instaled it but when i try to burn a project from imovie, the dvd doesn't work on any other computer what can i do?

What are you using to burn the movie to DVD? If you are using Finder, it will not work on other DVD players (not sure about other computers). In order to work anywhere, you need a dedicated video burn/authoring application such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, or many others you find by googling.
Oops - I missed the fact that you said you installed iDVD? So did you use that or Finder?

Can't burn to DVD from iMovie (4.0) using iDVD. Can I use another program?

Suddenly, after making several DVDs with this computer using its old version of iMovie without trouble, I can't burn my latest creation...I'm getting a message saying that "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
I cannot update to the newest OS X Snow Leopard, because I've tried and my computer is not intel-based.
So, has my iDVD application has been updated to suddenly be incompatible?? How has it worked before?
(I've tried to upgrade my iMovie application to the current iMovie '11, but my computer is not intel-based.)
Is there another solution to my problem? Is there another application that I can use to burn from iMovie to a DVD besides using iDVD? (Remember, I have an old computer.) :o)
Thank you so much for any help you can give!

You can try using BURN at http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
