Can't play any CD's or burn any either

I have looked for a similar question to mine but nothing fits exactly so here goes. I have had a problem burning cd's for some time and have turned the burn speed to the slowest. It starts to do the job, stops, spits my cd out which is then unusable and goes in the bin, hence I have stopped even trying!
Now it has got very awkward and will not play any cds I put in although it will play other people's burnt cds. They do not show on the bar or the desktop that they are in there or obviously in itunes. It then spits it out! I can play DVD's, and I can read disks with photos on but it wouldn't play the disk with the drivers on for my new printer. My son wants an ipod for Christmas which is now concerning me somewhat as itunes seems so unstable. I have downloaded the latest version but that didn't make any difference. Help anybody...please!!

Thanks for replying. I have tried with a different user account but that didn't make any difference. To be honest I don't even know how to look for 3rd party itunes plug-ins - and your other suggestion about other software but after having spent a lot of time looking at this yesterday I seem to be suffering the same problems as people who think they need a new superdrive. It's all getting a bit scary and I only want to play and burn cds!! Thanks again for responding.

  • I emptied trash with itunes in it accidentally and now can't play any songs on itunes what can i do?

    so i needed to clear disk space so i could use imovie more, so i put a load of stuff in trash and emptied it, but somehow i stupidly put itunes there too, so now when on itunes i can't play any songs because it keeps asking me to "Locate" it, which i can't do because it doesn't exist anymore arrrggh! i can't use any of my songs on imovie either, it's very frustrating. If there is any way at all that i could recover the songs so i could play them on itunes then that would be great-
    thanks,

    Hi,
    If you don't have a back up, you have lost your music.
    If you have iTunes Store purchases, you can go into iTunes Store and redownload previous purchases.

  • I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

    I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

    Sorry I can't help but I have potentially a similar problem.
    We have an Apple TV 3 and after the most recent software update (potentially coincidental timing), our purchased movies & TV shows will no longer play for our US account. We can play previews but that's it. We also tried renting a new movie but that didn't work either. No error messsage, just select play, it thinks about it, then returns you to the same screen again.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY
    CTRL + X = CUT
    CTRL + V = PASTE

  • I can't play any sort of media on my bb curve 8520

    I received this phone from my dad who got a newer version. Everything was working fine when he had it, but I took it I went through "security options" and pressed a "security erase" everything he had was reset in order for me to be able to configure my email accounts, etc.
    But now I can't play any music or videos, not from youtube or from the media player on the phone, I mean it doesn't even play the song that comes for default! an error saying "Unable to play content" keeps coming up, and I have already taken out the battery and put it back on three times.
    Please help me!!

    I had to reset it again and use the desktop software reinstalling the entire basic software. On your desktop blackberry software go to the software up date thoght tools and if there are no newer veresions available, chose the botton for las version and intall it.

  • Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

    Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
    If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
    Thanks
    Jay

    +If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
    If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
    Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
    Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

  • I can't play any web video in any site like Youtube or cnet...etc on iPad mini

    Wireless network setup with Microsoft virtual mini-port adapter, since connecting my iPad to the network I can't play any video in Safari in sites like Youtube or cnet...etc. also other Apps that depend on Safari to play videos has the same problem.
    I tried my iPhone 5s, the same problem. Both iPad and iPhone has iOS 7.1.1.
    The strange thing is that My iPhone 4 iOS v5.1.1 doesn't has the problem with this wireless network.
    Anyone had the same problem. Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    If it is related to the allowance setting then why iPhone 4 iOS5 is working fine.
    I tried to check the settings, noting to add or do there.

  • Can't play any music on PC any more

    Hi there
    I have 5800 CWM phone and the CWM licence expired in October 2010.  Tthat's fine, as I was able to keep playing the music I had downloaded on both my registered PC and the phone itself.
    After a little while I  could no longer transfer music from PC to phone.  I have about 20GB of music and the phone has about 5GB of space for music so periodically I would transfer different stuff to the phone.
    Then I started being unable to play some songs on the PC at all - licence problems for some songs while others would play OK.
    Now I can not play any music on the PC at all.  I'm getting an error messge saying there is no licence, then an optimistic message saying "Your licence is being delivered" which would not happen.  Then I would get a message saying I needed to delete the song/album and redownload it from my download history.  I can see my download history but no longer have an option to re-download it - I  can only buy it.
    Additionally I am now getting a messge saying that "We can't sign you in" and that I need an OVI Music account which I already have.  I can login to Ovi.com with it just fine.
    This is starting to get really tiresome.  From having a handset which i could download any music for a year and keep after the year was up, on both the PC and the phone.  I now only have the music that is already on the phone.  The remaining music I can't access and indeed can't play any of it at all on the PC.
    Does anyone else have this kind of problem that has been fixed?  BTW it is now a level 3 support problem with no fix in sight.  Sorry for the long post.
    Cheers
    (sory for double post - originally on S60 forum)

    Update
    (Apologies if this sounds familiar to anyone0
    Finally got the first part of the problem fixed.  Though Ovi player said it was my registered PC, it was not.  Nokia support (2nd level?) reset it so I can now see my Download History.
    All was fine initially - started re-downloading all the albums I had downloaded and which no longer worked.
    Fine for stuff after Oct 2010.  Anything older than that I cannot download the album with 1 click, and instead have to download each individual track one at a time, then navigate away from that page, then back again to get track 2 etc etc.  Which is about a 30sec round trip for each track.  I had about 519 albums with about 8000 songs lots of classical) so that's 4000 minutes for me sat here manually downloading everything again.
    Then, I thought I could use the website ovi.com instead to download music, rather than Ovi player, but... when I logged in there it claims that I am not using my registered PC (though I have the Ovi player open on the same PC saying it is registered).
    Just being able to download the albums in one go would be nice.  Not as nice as not having to do it at all, but it would be good nonetheless.
    Even having a REFRESH option on the download history page would be nice.  Or navigation to pages at the TOPas well as the bottom of the page. 
    It really starts to look like it is designed to be so frustrating that people eventually don't bother any more. It'll take me months (at 1 hour a day) to manually download all the stuff I used to have.
    Rant over.

  • The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HT1933 My new computer has been authorized, but I can't play any of my purchased songs in itunes.  What do I do to play, I get an error message that original files cannot be found.

    My new HP ENVY 23 TOUCHSMART PC has been authorized for itunes, but I can't play any of my purchased itunes songs.  When I try to play a purchased song in my itunes library, I get an error message prompt stating that the song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  When I check for available downloads it states that all downloads have been made.  Ironically, all my movie purchases play fine, but the songs do not play.  What do I have to do to play my purchased songs? 

    The 'unable to locate' message means that you don't have those music files on that computer, or that they are not where iTunes is expecting them to be. How did you get the entries for those tracks in your new computer's iTunes ?
    If you still have your old computer then you can try copying them over again : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    You may also be able to re-download them from the store (checking for available downloads only checks for items that have not yet been downloaded, not for past purchases) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (re-downloading music isn't possible in all countries). You may need to delete them form your library first (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message), otherwise iTunes will assume that you still have them somewhere and won't let you re-download them.

  • Installation folder not found.  Kontaktplayer2 will terminate?  I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband.

    Kontaktplayer2 will terminate?  I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband what gives?  I downloaded all my midi plugin's to run my M-Audio midi controller, but the patches are gone from GarageBand.  I recently had all my files "Migrated" from my old Macbook to my new one and since I have my new Macbook (only a week old) I haven't been able to use the GarageBand patches.  Can anyone give me advice?

    If you did a Restore operation using the current version of iPod Updater and you still get the same results, then you should take it back and get a new one.
