Cannot Burn Playlist off iPod to a DIsc

I recently transferred files from a Creative mp3 to my iPod using my old Dell, then got a new Mac. However, I never stored any music on my Dell, as it didn't have enough hard drive space.
Therefore I don't have any music on my Mac hard drive OR on my Dell Hard Drive - it's all on the iPod (65 GB at that!).
Here's the problem - I created a playlist on my iPod, but would like to burn it to a CD, but there is obviously no burn button or way to do it on the menus (the choice is greyed out).
Am I screwed and now have to re-burn all my physical CDs (1100+) to the iTunes library on my physical hard drive?
Thanks!

You cannot burn from the iPod to a CD.

Burning is creating a CD. RIPping is getting from CD into the computer.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Burn playlist from ipod nano urgent

ipod nano too full

they will not drag to library
or other playlist
i tried to burn them to cd
but it wont highlight
i tryed new playlist but songs wont drag over

You would have to move the songs onto your computer from your iPod first and then burn them from your computer. iTunes cannot burn the songs if they are only on the iPod.
You can use free software such as this to move the music from iPod to computer...

Are your optical drivers up to date? Try updating the drivers, if that was the case in the Device Manager. Hope it works.

Cannot Drag Playlist to iPods

After moving to new computer with Vista, cannot drag playlists to iPods, as it freezes up every time as soon as the playlist moves over the ipod icon that you are dragging it to. We've installed all updates to Vista and iTunes, tried creating new playlists and dragging them instead, and restoring iPods to factory settings, as we thought we might have corrupted one by ejecting it incorrectly. We are able to drag small numbers of songs at a time from the library to the iPod though. This occurs whether we are using a nano or a 30 gb iPod.

I have this same problem with iTunes 9.0.2. Can't drag and drop anything. Sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes it doesn't. Of course you can work around it -- right click as someone mentioned, or if you're creating a playlist, File>Create New Playlist from Selection. But it's a pain, and I hate the fact that I'm not getting the functionality I paid for. Wish someone (Apple, where are you?) could solve this problem.

Cannot burn playlists to disc

The icon which should change from Browse into Burn doesn't, on the file tab the "burn this playlist to disc" option is in grey so i cannot select it..... I have updated itunes to the latest version which hasn't changed anything, im stuck,
Any help?
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!

Cannot burn playlist, it just quits

Hi, cannot burn a playlist, it just quits. Have not burned anything since a new optical drive was put in, any ideas?

Well, seems it fixed itself, try to burn a disc and it quit so the screen came up, app quit, report or try again so pressed try again and tried to burn another one so it quit again and the same screen came up again, pressed try again and it went though the whole process of first being downloaded and when done, it would burn c.d.'s.

Loading burned music off iPOD to new computer

I've loaded my purchased songs onto my new laptop but now I need to know how to move the music I burned to my iPOD from a CD, from my iPOD to this new computer. Apple Support said there may be third party software products out there to do this? Anyone know of anything?

For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc,) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Cannot reset or get ipod mini into disc mode

My hard drive was wiped out. Plugged in my husband's ipod after fixing everything (so I thought). Lost all his music. I transferred all MY music from MY ipod onto itunes in the attempt to give him something to listen to!! But I cannot transfer any music from the library into his ipod. Followed some discussion suggestions about resetting ipod, going to disc mode. Cannot do either of these things. Now his ipod is acting weird. Frustrated.

Feeling very frustrated. My I-Pod 40 Gb is stuck between the logo and the folder with the exclamation mark. It will not reset or go to the disc mode.
Trying to find some actual help seems difficult. Help.

Cannot add playlist to Ipod

Whenever I try to add my playlist from my computer to my ipod, the crossed out circle appears, and I cannot add it. I found that when I go to my Ipod, the bar that shows how much space is left has a lock next to it. Does this mean anything?

It is in Autosync.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click on the music tab.
Select the playlists you want to put onto the iPod.
When you wanto add/delete music from the iPod, just do it from these playlists and then sync the iPod.

Cannot delete playlists on iPod

Howdy. I have a list of 10 or so playlists within iTunes. When I sync with my iPod, it copies the 10 playlists that I have, PLUS about 8 or 9 other OLD playlists that I no longer have in iTunes. So, after a sync, I have 10 playlists on iTunes and 18 playlists on the iPod.
I have done a restore on the iPod, and on my first sync, once again, the old (previously deleted) playlists returned to the iPod.
The only way I have ever been able to remove these playlists from the iPod is to manually manage the iPod and then remove them. But, as soon as I set it to automatically sync, they return.
Since the iPod has been restored, and it still didn't fix it, I'm guessing there is a configuration file somewhere on my Mac that I don't know about which is being repeatedly written to the iPod.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would recommend recreating your iTunes Library. Be sure to back up the playlists that you DO want to keep, however.

Cannot delete playlists from iPod Video

When I connect mu iPod Video to my PC or laptop using Windows XP, my iTunes opens, my iPod is recognized yet I can't see any playlists anywhere in my iPod when connected to the computers. When I disconnect, I have 6 different playlists that I've created over time. I want to delete these as needed. They seem to be created from my "On The Go" playlist when I create one. How can I delete? I've read and followed instructions on the Help site. The biggest problem is that there are no playlists shown when I select iPod from the source list once connected. I can't try to delete if I can't see it.

To clear the entire On-the-Go playlist, on your IPOD go to Music>Playlist>On-the-Go>Clear Playlist
To remove an individual song in a On-the-Go playlist, select the song in the playlist, press and hold the center button until the song flashes.
Hope that helps you!

Error-29, Cannot burn a DVD or save a disc image from within FCPX using Mountain Lion

Really stumped on this one.
Running Mountain Lion, freshly downloaded version of FCPX, on a 2009 MacPro with 16 G RAM.
Trying to share a 4 minute movie I edited.
- No problem exporting as a quicktime move...worked fine
- Big problem trying to either burn a DVD, save a disc image, or export to an Apple device.
The progress bar gets about 90% complete, and then it stops and a message window comes up that says:
There was an error burning your disc. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error-29)
Thoughts?

From Crash Analyzer:
DSPPublishing error -29 (Final Cut Pro X)
This error can occur when burning a disc if your menu has incompatible assets.
Suggested Actions
If your menu has a background image, make sure the image is not too large. Try reducing the size of the image and saving it as a JPEG or PNG.

I ran into the exact same troubles as you. And thanks to your smart advice about using Windows Media Player, I was able to do precisely what I needed. Thanks for the tip. It's a shame that Apple's beautiful hardware is hampered by such a poorly executed software platform.
