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!

    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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • Cannot burn CD-R disc from iTunes?

    Laptop rejects blank Sony CD-R disc.  I am trying to burn a playlist from iTunes.  When I insert a blank disc, it turns and churns and then ejects.  Occaisionally it will burn, more often than not it ejects.  Any suggestions.  I have tried speeds: 6x and 4x.
    Thanks

    I'm having a similar problem. When I right-click on the playlist I want to burn and choose burn to disc, iTunes asks me to insert a blank disc. It asks this whether there's already a disc in disc drive or not. Then I get a pop up message asking me to go to the file menu >burn playlist to disc. I click "ok" on the pop up message and try to do what it asks and that choice, "burn playlist to disc" is not an option in the file menu although it is when there's no disc in my drive.
    The strange thing is that I'm able to burn a disc from my desktop by creating a burn folder and right-clicking on the songs I want to burn, but not from iTunes.
    I'm using iTunes 11.3 and Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Anyone know what the problem might be?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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'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.
