Can't Burn Second CD in a series with Audiobooks

I have had this problem repeatedly on ITUNES but when I buy a book from AUDIBLE it NEVER happens, even if ITUNES burns the CD's.
I put part one of the book in its own playlist and ITUNES tells me that it will take more than one CD to burn it. It then burns the first CD perfectly and asks for the second. At this point it tells me that my burn speed is wrong...same CD type, same book and now I'm stuck with only the first part of each book part. Since I'm on the road in my vehicle nine or more hours a week I want the WHOLE book, not just parts of it on CD. If this is some protection scheme, AUDIBLE doesn't use it. I have posted about this before and never gotten an answer. I thought maybe the new software version would have fixed the issue but is hasn't and I have purchased my last Audiobook from ITUNES!!

  • How can I burn an audio CD in iTunes with my music library on an external drive?

    I keep my entire music library on an external hard drive. I just tried to burn a playlist in iTunes, and iTunes goes through all of the motions (asks for a blank cd, says it's burning) and then it says "Finishing burning" for a while. Then iTunes tells me I have a blank CD in my computer.
    I fear the issue is that the music is not on my computer. However, I've added all of the music folders to iTunes, and it plays them off of my external hard drive.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Great suggestion.  I had quickly considered burning a disc outside of iTunes with Burnz only to learn that trial period had ended.  So...thanks to your 2x4 blow to my head, I tried a Finder burn and got an error, too: The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.  Doing a big of research indicates this might be simply a dust problem in my MacBook and can be resolved with some compressed air.  Checking my toolbox shortly and I'll report back!  Thanks!

  • Brasero: Can't burn. Fails after checking image with GDBus.Error

    Hey Guys.
    When i tried to burn a CD i noticed that i couldn't. Since i rarely do this i don't know since when this problem exists.
    // ... deleted (see Edit)
    Did something change? Because of the mentioned .service file i tought it may be because of because of systemd but booting in fallback will result in the same behavior.
    Reinstalling did brasero did not solve the problem either.
    Thanks
    EDIT:
    Turns out that tracker is a indexing program in gnome-extra and has little to do with this...

    This fails:

    Time runs out and i need to go. Can i change this?
    EDIT:
    Doing it with growiso doesen't work either. So it's a general Problem... It just sucks to don't have any usefull error message.

  • Can't burn a CD at any speed with any program. So frustrating.

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Satellite M505 and my optical drive is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GA10f. For a while I thought I just needed to try different kinds of CD-R's but now I have tried just about every brand there is, and no luck. I usually use iTunes and when I try to burn I get an error message, every time it's a different number. So then I tried to just drag the files into the CD drive window and let Windows burn them for me but this didn't work either. I checked the driver in the device manager and it tells me the driver I have is correct and up to date. I keep reading about firmware on the other forums, but I can't seem to find the right kind, and I don't quite understand what firmware is anyway. The drive reads CDs just fine and also plays DVDs. I haven't tried to burn a DVD but I assume it would not work.
    Thanks SO much for any suggestions!!

    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.

  • Can't burn CD of book not purchased with Itunes

    I'm trying to help a friend who purchased an audiobook (from Amazon) burn it to CDs.  The program Amazon uses to download to the computer references using ITunes to burn it to CDs but I am getting stopped cold by ITunes asking for an Audio ID.  I've signed my friend up with an Apple account, but it will not accept that user ID and password for this purpose.  I do not know what else to do.  Any help would be appreciated.
    I imported the book into ITunes and created a playlist for it, but when I click on burn to CD I get stopped by this Audio ID business.  HELP!

    Thanks Barbra...once again you helped me to recognize the obvious... It worked great... I'm glad you are out there... Best regards ... Clint...

  • Can you burn dl disc in iDVD 5 with a Pioneer DVR-111D?

    Guess I must have not posted that right the first time.

    Is it installed as an internal drive? or and external burner?
    iDVD 5 doesn't support external burners (directly).

    Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.

  • Help! i upgraded my itunes to 7.0.2 and I can't burn my mp3's?????

    I am having the same problem like many other posts as to burning mp3's on the latest version of itunes.
    my itunes was working fine till i downloaded the latest version and i tried to burn some songs that i even downloaded from itunes. i am having 2 major problems:
    (1) when i try to burn a playlist that i purchased from itunes it starts off like it's going to intitalize the burn then a warning pops up stating that 'none of the files can be burned to mp3 cd' then i click on the arrow to see the reason why i can't burn and it states 'itunes store files cannot be burned to an mp3 cd'. this has never happened before i have downloaded music from itunes before and never had this problem.
    (2)the second problem i am having is the songs that my itunes will allow me to burn ( mostly transfered from my personal cd's and other downloads) burn in the usual manner but the don't play on my cd player....at all. i am using the correct cd's and my stereo is playing other burned cd's fine. the stereo is not old and i don't have any problem burning other files to cd. i tried everything...i even bought new blank cd's and i'm still having the problem. what is it? and how can i fix it.
    please help if anyone has any advice!!!!

    No version of iTunes has ever allowed you to burn songs from the iTunes Store to MP3 CD.
    I think you need to change your burning setting in Preferences > Advanced > Burning to Audio CD.

  • How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

    How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

    susang
    What you report is what it is.
    Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
    Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
    never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
    Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
    with the burn to.
    If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
    can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
    Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
    Thank you.

  • My imac spits out the Cd-r and I can't burn a disc

    My iMac spits out the CD-R and I can't burn a disc

    Hello deneye2112,
    Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing.  I found some resources that I think might help:
    First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

    "iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
    I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
    Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
    I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
    Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

    To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
    This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

  • New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk.

    New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk. The 'checking playlist' now takes about one second, looks very much like a malfunction here. Seems to initialize the disk - them moves straight into 'burning/finalizing disk' which also takes about one second. Then 'burning - finishing disk takes a little longer -
    Error reading is "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disk drive didn't respond properly an can't recover.'
    This happend once before a while back and I thought it was 'too skinny disks'. Using 'printable disks; seemed to fix the problem - until now.
    Blank cd's can  be opened in the finder and files burnt to them.
    DVD's can be burned from DVD Pro.
    Music cd's and dvd's can be played.
    Just can't burn the itunes playlist.

    From your iMac? OS 10.9.2? iTunes? Other? please give as much info as you can about your system hardware and peripherals, OS, software, etc. Is this misbehavior new? First try? You get the idea, too much info is not possible.
