Computer locks up after burning a music CD to Itunes

Just purchased a new Nano 8Gb IPOD,... loaded Itunes 8 updates to my PC,.... when I try to burn a CD to Itunes,.. at the end, the computer locks up,... the files will be transferred,.. but this is a real pain if it locks up after every CD...... Has anyone else experienced this?? I'm running Window XP, have the Version 2 Operating System. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

the last time I tried to burn a cd from itunes, my system crashed and my optical (a new dual layer superdive installed less than a year ago) died... I haven't a clue what happened!
I ended up buying an external and though itunes recognizes it, when I try to burn an audio cd (mp4 to aiff), it goes through the entire process of 'seemingly' converting the files, the cd shows ALL the information, even when re-inserted into the drive... but there's NO actual information on the disc. It 'appears to play' but no sound comes out and there's no activity in the equalizer at all.
On external cd players, one player did the exact same thing and another just refused to even see the cd as readable.
I've also tried burning from Toast, which ALWAYS worked in the past, with the same result.
What's the point of purchasing music in itunes if I can't burn the music to cd?
has anyone been able to solve this?
thanks... namaste

I'm having problems upgrading from 10.6.8 to Yosemite. My computer locks up after the download and installation process. Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

The latest is happening with the 12 little video clips sent to me by Apple entitled "Get to know your new iPad"
They run from 3 to 32 seconds and then "lock-up" on my iMac.

Computer locks up after an hour of being idle?

computer locks up after an hour of being idle

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

I am trying to burn a music cd on iTunes, but I am getting an error that reads that the cd burner is being used by another application. I know that I am not using the cd burner for anything else. I have restarted the Mac and nothing. Any ideas?

One other thread said it was fixed by waiting till prompted by iTunes to insert the blank disk, instead of putting it in first. Does that work? Found a number of hits on this Googling.

Computer locked up after using boot camp

Does the computer lock me after a certain amount of failed password attmepts, even when i finally have the correct password? recently changed root account password, but then forgot today and when tried again didn't work. if so, how long does lock last?

Ok. So I just changed my ADMINISTRATIVE ROOT PASSWORD the other day and when I tried to log in today I forgot it. I tried different variations of
the password I had set, because I wasn't sure if i had maybe set it in Caps Lock or used a different number in the sequence. I got the message several times
about "too many attempts, try again later". Does the computer lock me from signing in even with the correct password after a certain amount of failed
attempts? If so, how long does this lock last for? When can I try again? Or is there something I need to do to remove that lock now? I'm pretty sure I
had the right password finally but it still wouldn't accept it.
Also, I don't have any other administrative users set up on my macbook pro. I'm the only one who uses it, so I've always just used that original User from my
original setup.

Do this:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime. (command + s on newer Macs)
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can change the passord on the old one.

Burning a music CD in iTunes produces a still blank CD

I've been trying to burn music CDs from iTunes. I click the "burn CD" button and the program responds and goes through the whole process of burning the CD. The CD even appears in the iTunes sidebar. Unfortunately, when I eject the CD, the CD is still blank and surface has not been altered. If I re-insert the CD into my computer, it shows up as a blank CD. I have also experienced problems burning files to CDs from Finder. Somebody please help.

HT4527 hi i have a new computer and need to move my music to my itunes account

how do I transfer my music to my itunes acct. i am using window 7

This user tip should be helpful. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

My computer locked up after downloading the iTunes update

I downloaded the update from iTunes and now my computer is locked up.

Have you done a "hard reboot"? Press the power button and hold for 5-10 seconds till it shuts down and restart.
Worst case, unplug it. Let it set for 30 seconds, plug it back in and boot it up.

Computer locks up after displays fill with symbols

I am running Leopard on a 2006, 8GB Mac Pro. Today, little squares, made up of vertical lines, showed up all over both monitors and the computer froze. Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion to look at the video card led me to where the problem was. I just installed a new ATI RAEDON HD 3870 Mac 512M card and the Mac is running fine. Also, I was having a problem with kernel panics, which is now solved!

Computer Crashed,how do I get music back into itunes w/o erasing Ipod?

My computer crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive. I was able to save all of my music on cd, and it is all still currently on my Ipod. I have downloaded Itunes again, but how do I upload all the music on my ipod into Itunes without it automatically erasing my Ipod when I plug it in? Am I able to save my play lists when I reload my music to Itunes?
Dell PC Windows XP

If you are using the iPod in manual update mode it is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
While you can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, if you want to check this out, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from an iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward and will copy songs and playlists.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

My iPad isn't locking automatically after I have been listening to iTunes Radio for a while what do I do? Thank you

My iPad isn't locking automatically when I listen to iTunes Radio for a while. I checked my auto lock settings and it is set to 2 minutes but it isn't locking when I listen to iTunes Radio

iTunes radio and Pandora are designed to play after the screen turns dark so you can listen to music without wasting energy on a lite screen. The main thing is that the screen goes dark after two minute. Also after listening to iTunes or Pandora when you are done be sure to double click the home button and swipe up to close the app.

How do I burn a Music CD on iTunes 8.2?

Make a playlist of the music that you want to burn.
Go to the bottom of the page and click "Burn Disc"
You could also go to the help feature in itunes and type "burn disc" and it will tell you how.

DVD Pro 3 locks up after completing the format phase can anyone help?

I am very experienced with FCP & DVDSP3. However, starting this week my entire computer locks up after I start to burn a dvd in dvdsp3? I have tried everything I can think of please help. I have burned several dvd's using same footage. I thought maybe the disk were dirty (fingerprints etc.) I have tried several dvd's but nothing works. Help please!!

Yes the project was built by me. I have burned several copies from the same file. After about the 10 copy it started to freeze. My disk drive would keep running but it sounded as if it was stuck. The program stopped responding at this point. I'm using Apple DVDRW. I also tried using Maxwell (poor decision). Do you think it's the program or the dvd burner (hardware). thanks for the help.
