Cannot get iTunes to burn audio CD's anymore.

I find that iTunes works well making playlists, organizing my music library, and importing songs however I am unable to burn CD's and have to resort to using Toast 9 application to do so. Whenever I attempt to use iTunes to burn a CD either from my iTunes playlists, it crashes my iMac. The program freezes up during the writing process and I am even unable to eject the CD. I have to shut down and restart the iMac a few times to end the program. Even "Force Quit" doesn't work. Deleting the iTunes .plist file from the Library Preference folder and restarting does'nt correct the problem either. Do you have a solution, or is Toast 9 my only option?

My experience has been... yes. You now need to be an Administrator to burn CDs.
When I upgraded from iTunes 6.05 to 7.0.1.8 on my WinXP Home, the upgrade went okay for my account (an admin). But quite quickly, my teeanage daughter (with a Limited User account) started loudly complaining that she could no longer burn CDs.
If I elevate her priveliges from Limited User to Administrator, then iTunes 7.0.1.8 let's her burn CDs.
I don't want her running as Administrator. Anyone found a solution for this?

  • I cannot get iTunes 10.5.1 (windows) to burn a playlist to CD. It cancels immediately

    I cannot get iTunes 10.5.1 (windows) to burn a playlist to CD. It cancels immediately with an Unknown Error 4251 message.
    I am running iTunes on both 32 and 64 bit versions of  Windows 7 and get same result on both machines.
    It used to burn perfectly using previous versions of iTunes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    The 4251 isn't all that common (relative to other reported import/burning messages). So to be getting it suddenly on two different PCs suggests a conflict with something you've got running on both machines.
    Could you post diagnostics for both PCs, please? (Fingers crossed there might be some commonalities in the two sets of results that might lead us to the cause of this.)
    (No need to put both sets of diagnostics in one reply. Posting each set in a different reply will quite probably be much easier for you.)
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

  • We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  Tried everything.  Help!

    We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything.  I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine.  I'm at my wits end.  Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on?  Thanks so much!

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen).  However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

    I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013.  I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod.  When I try it crashes Outlook.  iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!).  I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it?  (HELP!)

    Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk

  • Cannot get iTunes DJ to work

    No doubt it is something really obvious that I'm missing, but I cannot get iTunes Dj to work. If I click on iTunes DJ in the left column, right section of the window says "iTunes DJ" and explains that I can make a continuous mix, but there is no list of music. The play button is greyed out.
    The help file says "To select a specific playlist (instead of your library) for the live mix, choose an option from the Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window."
    but there is no Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Any ideas?

    Do you see the grey bar at the bottom of the screen when you select iTunes DJ, the one with the Settings and Refresh button, as seen in the picture on this web page? If not, then the bottom of the window may just be off the screen on your system so you don't see the Source selector. If that does seem to be the problem, try changing the resolution of your Mac's screen (Displays system preference) to the highest resolution. If it already is, try changing it to a lower resolution, then back. That may get the iTunes window to reappear..
    If not, open the Script Editor application, paste in the following text (up to and including the line that says "end tell") and click the "Run" button:
    tell application "Finder"
    set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
    end tell
    tell application "iTunes"
    set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
    set bounds of window 1 to margins
    end tell
    If the iTunes window is running off the screen, that should restore it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

  • TS1717 I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC.

    I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC. Anyone know how I do this? I cannot seem to find anything on Google, which is surprising.
    iTunes helper launches OK, but not iTunes itself. Am I being dim?
    Thanks

    The iTunes application should be installed on the system drive. You may need to repair iTunes to fix that error regarding a missing .exe.
    To organize your library properly see Make a split library portable.
    If you don't have a working version of the library that can be transformed into a portable shape I have tools and techniques that can repair the broken links.

  • Cannot get iTunes to recognise audiobook folder

    So, I have some audiobooks I want iTunes to load onto my iPhone. No matter what I do I cannot get iTunes to recognise that the folder/files is an audiobook.  The thing is iTunes was good, but now it *****.  They seem to have gone out of their way to make it as difficult to use. Why?  The version 10 s were OK, but 11 is a piece of ****.  Is it because of this rediculous DMR obsession that punishes legit users that in turn means that I have to use not so legit means to achieve what I want?  It's *****, it's crap and if it means that I have to troll through endless help files and google searches to achieve this, then surely this is against the Apple principal that I should be able to use the product without a manual.   I don't buy the "iTunes is free, so don't complain".  It's built into the price of the iPhone/iPad.

    Hi gnaksung, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working. 
    You may find the troubleshooting tips and download method in this article helpful with updating iTunes:

    If you're currently using OS X 10.6.8, see this link for the iTunes 11.4 download, which is the latest version that can be installed:

  • Cannot get iTunes 12.0 to install with OS 10.10

    i have 2009 iMac with 4GB memory 3.06ghz intel core 2 duo.  i have updated OS to Yosemite two day ago.  i cannot get iTunes 12 to install.  the dmg downloads and i go through the process of installation and get the install completed successfully.  cannot find iTunes anywhere on computer   i have tried restarting after install and still no iTunes

    You can find iTunes in three places:
    In the Dock, between FaceTime and iBooks icons.
    In Launchpad: open it and you will find the iTunes icon.
    In Finder: open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open iTunes.
    Note that iTunes may show up with the old icon the first time you open it, but it will be updated. Note that the latest iTunes version is 12.0.1, so if you do not have this version, open the Mac App Store, go to Updates and install the most recent version
