Disc Burning in iTunes 12

I tried to burn an MP3 CD with iTunes 12.0.1 unter OSX 10.10 Yosemite. I can not start the burning process from the settings window with the button "Burn Disc" (in German "Brennen"). It's marked blue (Default / Go), but when I click it, nothing happens. The "Cancel" button works.
It took me a while to find out that I can start burning by pressing the Enter key.
Is this a UI/software bug?

  • Discs burned from iTunes 10.1 will not play on some Sony CD players

    I'm having a problem with 32 bit iTunes 10.1 (on Windows XP sp3) where burned discs will not play on my Sony CDP355 or CDP400 carousel CD players but will play on a Sony CDP455. Discs burned with earlier versions of iTunes used to work fine with these players (I think). Also, these "incompatible" players did not recognize the disc as one containing CD text. In fact, they would not read the disc at all.
    My friend running 64 bit iTunes 10.1 on a Windows 7 machine doesn't have this problem with discs she burns. They will play OK on those exact same players.
    Burned files seem to play OK on most of my other CD players and I have confirmed the files are CDA format files (not MP3).
    I had selected MAXIMUM SPEED, AUDIO and INCLUDE CD TEXT in my burn settings.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for this suggestion. I reduced the burn speed to 12X (my burner is 48X maximum) and made another copy. It works just fine. I'll experiment with higher speeds later but for certain the 12X speed solved the problem.

  • CDs burned from iTunes don't play in CD player.

    This is a relatively new issue - I've never had this problem before. They appear to burn correctly. Sometimes the CD player will correctly identify the number of tracks but when I hit play the CDs just spin around without playing. Other times it the CD player will not recognize the CD at all. I thought it was the CD player but older CDs play fine. And it's not the CDs; I've tried two different brands. I think the problem is in the "initializing" phase which used to last for perhaps ten seconds and now lasts for perhaps two seconds before burning starts. Anybody else ever have this issue?

    Hi, I'e never heard of that error before!???
    Is this purchased music, or your own music files?

  • HT203242 iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

    I have the solution.
    Uninstall Itunes.
    That is what I did and my disc burner works fine. I am gonna wait for Apple to come up with a solution. So if there is no solution that means no Itunes which means no Iphone or Ipod and time to move on to a comany that has solutions not year old posts that most people cannot decipher and won't be able to fix on their own.

    +Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2510.+
    +Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.+
    By any chance, do you have a copy of Daemon Tools installed on that PC?

  • Help please - iTunes disc burner or software not found... with full troubleshooting details

    In iTunes 11.1.3.8 on my Windows 8 HP Laptop, when trying to "Burn Playlist to Disc", I get the Burn Settings window "E: hp DVD A DS8A9SH", then I select MP3 CD and click "Burn", I unfortunately get the dreaded iTunes "disc burner or software not found...". I think this is the second time this has happened (first time I think a simple reboot fixed it), and I assume because iTunes was updated this issue came back again and I cannot burn MP3 cds anymore because of it!
    I've followed all steps outlined in this support article "iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308)
    Solution 1, no updated firmware was available for dvd drive.
    Solution 2, not relevant because those files were not present when I looked for them.
    Solution 3, I'm familiar with regedit and did exactly what the step by step instructions told me including rebooting multiple times to completely remove Gear drivers/keys, installing the new Gear driver files with their official setup file "For 32-bit and 64-bit systems:" from http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php (and gave another reboot just in case) and opened iTunes at the very end of the entire process.
    Still getting the dreaded "disc burner or software not found..." error when trying to burn a playlist to a CD. The weird thing is when I click Burn playlist to a CD, I see the DVD drive "E:  in the next prompt which asks for Data CD/MP3 CD, Audio CD.
    So I clicked on Help > Run Diagnostics, selected "CD/DVD Drive tests" only and clicked "Next".
    Window says "To begin the test, please insert a prerecorded audio cd..." so I did that and clicked "Next".
    Under "Choose an optical drive to test:", the drop-down menu only shows "[Choose a Drive]", no other options. Under "Optical drive:" it says "No drive chosen for testing.", and I click the "Next" button.
    Here are the diagnostics output I got:

    I'm extremely confused as to what to do next. I was thinking I should try reinstalling iTunes but I'm not sure that would even work and I'm so paranoid about installing it correctly and referencing the right existing library files that I'd like to see other suggestions first.
    Any help from the community or Apple would be tremendously appreciated and I would be glad to do more testing and provide more details. Thanks!

  • When burning a disc from my iTunes, I want to shorten the one song i am burning...HOW?

    I am trying to shorten a song that I am burning from iTunes onto a disc...How do I do this?

    Highlight the song, File > Get Info, go to the Options tab, set the Start and Stop times where you want, and OK out.
    Back in your library, File > Get Info again, Create AAC (or MP3) version.
    That creates a new short version.  In the playlist you are about to burn, replace the original version with the short version.  Then burn.
