Can't Burn Playlist - Blank Disc Ejects

I have been trying to burn a playlist to CDs. The first disc burned without a problem. However, when ITunes called for insertion of a second blank disc, it started to initialize then ejected the disc. I have not been able to get anything more burned, except me. The ITunes support pages have been useless and I have spent 6+ hours trying to figure out this problem. Is there any way to speak with a person or have an e-mail conversation with someone who can provide technical support for this problem. The "support" pages don't provide any access to anyone that could probably help me. Thanks.
P.S. The discs are recognized by and writeable from other programs.

EUREKA for CD not burning on iTunes! For me after spending hours trying to solve this issue, I went to
Edit (on iTunes), Preferences, Advanced, Burning and changed to "Audio" CD. I felt pretty stupid. Somehow the setting got changed. Hope it might work for your.

  • Can't Burn Playlists to Disc ... Error 43 ... iTunes was Not Properly Installed ... Diagnostics Included

    Hi. Immediately after installing iTunes a dialogue window appears stating that "itunes was not properly isntalled. if yuou wish to import or burn cds you need to reinstall itunes." This happens even after I complete the installation w/ antivirus disabled.  Indeed, I am unable to burn playlists to cds.  Upon attempting to do so, iTunes produces the ambiguous error message:  "Disc Recording not found ..."
    My instinct tells me this is a problem w/ the GEAR driver software. I've uninstalled the driver manually, and then reinstalled it as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308 (Solution 3). Still, the problem persists.
    Any ideas?????

    If it's any help I have found I can't burn discs any longer in this precise version of iTunes. I have gone back to the previous version where everything is fine in this respect. My symptoms were not quite the same as yours but the result was the same - I couldn't burn discs. Yours is the first post on this I've found so I suspect Apple may not be aware of the issue or it is affecting relatively few users. If I find a solution I will post again and meanwhile hope that the next update solves the problem.

  • How do I  burn Playlist to disc, when it is greyed out.

    Hi, I have updated to itunes 7 and the first thing I did was lose all my music off my ipod, as I didn't have it in the library. I now think that I have all my music back as I had backed up on DVDs.
    I know that itunes is s'posed to be a one way thing but I don't see why.
    Now I am redoing my playlists, is there anyway to back these up??
    I see in files that it says "burn playlist to disc" but it is greyed out. If this can be done, great but how??
    If one of you clever chaps knows how please let me know too.
    Many thanks, Chrisie.

    Hi there, I had a look but there are no playlists saved there, as the playlists are not saved in the itunes library this may be the reason.
    Anyway I don't want to reinstall at the mo. I want to save them so I dont lose them again.
    I was hoping if I could get them into a folder or on a disc that I could easily upload them again. I mean, why is there a greyed out area in files?
    Hope someone can help.
    thanks anyway, Chrisie.

  • I am trying to burn a cd from my playlist but after inserting my disc I do not get (burn playlist to disc) from drop down menu

    I am trying to burn a cd from my playlist but after inserting my disc I do not get( burn playlist to disc) from drop down menu?

    Hollie,
    Do things in the following order:
    Make the playlist you are going to burn, and open it.
    Have the blank CD-R handy.
    Use the command File > Burn Playlist to Disc.
    When it asks you to insert a blank disc, do so.

    Thanks for any contribution x

    I have the same problem as charlottemarriot (can't burn playlists, 30 April). My old version of iTunes worked beautifully but I have just installed iTunes 6 and it says 'no items checked in playlist' even though all the items clearly are checked. Even when I restart the computer / create new playlists / try playlists that previously worked nothing happens. I need the discs to teach my pupils this today and tomorrow! help!

    Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.  Windows 7

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

  • IDVD does not burn iMovie, blank disc

    iMovie is fine. I export to iDVD and everything is fine, make titles, etc.
    I burn and everything's ok, and the burn progresses fine, but the burn stops and spits out the disc seconds before it is complete.
    I put the disc back in and I get the "you have inserted a blank disc....." message.
    I'm using iLife '09, Maxell DVD-R discs (which have worked fine before) I scoured the internet and tried ALL suggestions I came across.
    Any ideas or help is appreciated.....

    Don't know why some fail so soon. But it does happen. Happened to me also a few years back. Did you happen to purchase an extended applecare warranty by any chance? If not apple normally covers these issues for the first 12 months (1 year). Nevertheless, Id give them a call anyway and feel free to keep us posted. I can tell you from experience that apple is normally very good about servicing their products (even those slightly out of warranty) so it is worth the call.
    If you don't get the results you want, then just post back and we'll provided additional recommendations or possible workarounds.

  • DVD  blank discs ejected

    I have been trying TDK dvd + blank discs but they keep getting ejected as if they are not being recognised. Could it be to do with the particular brand and if so can anyone suggest an alternative? Thanks

    .Unfortunately it didnt work as it rejected the cleaning CD as well .Looks as though i will have to buy an external reader/ writer  dvd drive although I dont ,as yet, know which ones would be compatible with this computer.I say this because having the internal drive replaced would be prohibitively expensive and just not worth it.
    In the meantime I can use a memory stick although .
    Many thanks for the advice

  • Can't burn playlist from I-Tunes store

    I have previously downloaded my playlists from the I-tunes store onto a G4 I-Mac.I have now downloaded a playlist from I-Store onto a Dell Optiplex 745.When I try and burn the playlist it tells me that I am not authorized on THIS computer to burn 14 0f the 16 songs. It tells me I need to authorize the computer to do so.What gives here? Have I just wasted 16 bucks because I can't burn a gym warmup disc for our school?
    Cheers

    Play one of the songs in iTunes first.

  • Can not burn playlists

    Until recently all was well with Itunes and the way it functioned. I believe it was after a software upgrade I lost the abilty to burn playlists. The error message is something like can not find cd driver software. It shows the DVD Burner but instead of it being the D: drive it shows it as F:
    I do not belleve that I changed anything else on my computer.
    I have removed and reloaded Itunes, tried the repair Itunes function but the problem remains the same. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

  • I don't have any drop down menus for burning playlist to disc

    I had a computer crash and reinstalled itunes. Everything works except the burner. I dont have any drop down menus for burning the playlists to disc. What do I do now?

    It has something to do with Segoe fonts in your Windows system.

  • Can I burn a blueray disc on my Imac

    Would like to know if I can even burn a blu ray disc using HD/BD Toast plug in.  My Imac just keeps popping out the RW Memorex single layer BD_RE disc.

    As far as I know, the plugin simply increases the quality to dupe the disk into thinking it is a bluray disk - the instructions say to use a regular disk. And no, your Superdrive or Mac cannot burn to a bluray disk - you would need an external bluray burner for that.
