Does iTunes 7 "Include CD Text" Burn Feature Work?

The CD player in my car will display the disc title and song name if it is encoded with CD Text information. It works well with Toast. I noticed that iTunes 7 has a Burn preference "Include CD Text" checkbox, but when I select it and burn a CD the info does not appear in the car.
Does anyone know what's up with this?

I burnt a CD yesterday with iTunes 7 and the CD Text feature turned on. I tried the CD in my car, a 2005 Nissan Aramda, but nothing displayed. I know the CD player supports CD text so I wondered if iTunes didn't burn the CD correctly. I started trying the CD in all my CD and DVD players. On my Sony DVD player, the disc did display the disc title but not the track titles. However, I'm not sure that it would since it's a DVD player. That at least told me that iTunes wrote something on the disc. Then I read that if you insert the CD you burned back into your Mac and launch Toast, select Disc Information under the Recorder menu, you can see a listing of all the burned tracks and the CD text that was written on the disc. Sure enough, iTunes 7 had burned the disc title, track name and artist for each of the tracks.
Given that iTunes appears to burn CD Text correctly, the mystery is why my car doesn't recognise it. I'm also wondering about the two standards for CD text and if maybe the one iTunes supports isn't the same as the one my car supports. I'm hoping that maybe someone else can shed some light on that.
Thanks,
Eric

  • Why doesn't "include/object/text from file" work?

    I want to include (link) text from other Word documents to a  main  Word document and I use "include/object/text from file" (Word function)
    It works fine when I do so in "H:", but doing exactly the same in the Sharepoint environement result in "nothing" (nothing happens)
    It DOES work if I link from a document saved in Sharepoint to a "H:" - document, but that is of no use since I need all the documents to be stored in Sharepoint.
    Guess it has to do with the set up och Sharepoint.
    Greatful for any tips!

    Hi,
    Did you mean insert a object in the documents?
    Did you open the file with the local application or office web application?
    In the office web application, it doesn’t have the function to insert a object in the browser.
    I had tested with some word files in the library, open the word files with the local application, then insert file using the insert object function.
    It worked without any issue.
    What’s more, I had tested with Office 2010 and Office 2013, they all worked.
    Did the issue occur in other libraries? You can create a new library to check whether it works.
    You can also download a copy for the issued file, then open it in the local machine to check whether it works in the local machine.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Itunes ringtones and text tones not working??

    I downloaded a ring tone and a text tone, from the itunes store,and it was working great for about three weeks.  I lost charge on my phone yesterday and soon as I powered back up the default ringtones have seemed to take over even though my tones are set to the two tones I downloaded.  any answers to why? or is there a fix available? I also have the latest software update iOS 8.1.2 on my iphone6.

    Try doing a hard reboot of the iPhone
    1. hold the power and home buttons down
    2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Left the iPhone boot... should only take a couple minutes.

  • Why does iTunes sometimes refuse to burn a 78:30 playlist?!?

    Most of the time iTunes 6 will burn a 79:30 playlist to an 80-minute CD-R with no fuss. (That's a real 79:30 or 79:40 or even 79:55, not the list of times as iTunes displays them to the whole second. I monitor the time precisely using the Info/Options panel for each track.)
    But once in a while, iTunes decides a playlist is too long even when it's not, like when it is really 78:30. This happens erratically. But when it does continue to give me this message, no amount of chopping time off each track seems to matter. (I use Peak to edit out "dead air" at the end. Doing this to 20 tracks can cut over a minute from the total time of a playlist.) It will only burn to one CD if I remove a whole track.
    I just tested one case where it burned 75:50 but not the last track, which was another 2:43. I rebuilt the playlist one track at a time with a new name, but no cigar. I really want this particular 78:30 playlist on one CD. Can anyone help with this?

    I would like at once to thank you for making this point again and also to say that it is just not relevant to the problem I'm having. However much space TAO takes up, at the end of the day it's accountable in the total time on the CD. I am not having a problem with iTunes failing to accept a playlist near the limit of time. When the playlist plus TAO space plus anything else adds up to under 80 minutes, iTunes will burn it.
    My problem comes when I begin with a playlist of specific tracks that total a few seconds more than 80 minutes. Not incidentally, this is the result of iTunes adding from two to five seconds to each track as it imports the track using Apple Lossless Compression. As a result, a playlist that was actually shorter than 80 minutes becomes longer than 80 minutes.
    Then, WITHOUT CHANGING THE TITLES, I remove 60 seconds from the total playlist time BY EDITING THOSE TITLES to make them shorter. For example, "Only the Lonely.mp4" is changed from 2:28.93 to 2:23.87.
    I do this by using Peak to remove "dead air" from the end of the track. I then save the new file and substitute it for the old one in the iTunes library. I look before and after at the iTunes file info to confirm I have actually shortened the track by 5.06 seconds as far as iTunes is concerned. In my playlist the time now reads 2:23 instead of 2:28. I do this to other tracks, 10 or more times, to reduce the actual running time of the playlist by a full minute or more. The playlist is now UNDER 79 MINUTES.
    But iTunes will not burn this exact playlist on one CD. IF, on the other hand, I simply change one track from my playlist to another track (with a new name) and a shorter playing time, iTunes will burn it just fine. What iTunes will not let me do is burn the exact playlist I started with, from which I have subtracted a full minute's time. I need a fix for this specific situation.

  • Why does iTunes tell me the burner is in use?

    When trying to burn music discs from iTunes, I'm now getting a message that "the burner is already being used by another application." It's really strange because that's not the case and iTunes burned CDs just fine for years until this past week.
    I get the message every time I burn, whether I'm using the internal drive or an external one. I have two external DVD burner drives as well as the internal, and they all produce the same message. Usually, if I try many times by putting the same CD back in and trying again, eventually it will work. But it shouldn't be giving that message at all, so I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem.
    I'm using iTunes 11.1.4 on OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 on a Mac Pro. I've never before had a problem burning CDs from iTunes.
    I have Toast installed, but not running at the time this happens. I checked to see if a Roxio background helper app was perhaps running that I didn't know about, but nothing is listed in the console nor in my Login Items list. There are no apps running that might have anything to do with burning discs, so I'm totally puzzled.
    That isn't the only problem, either. When I'm finally successful in getting iTunes to actually succeed, when it burns a multi-part disc, it always rejects the second CD, claiming that I need to insert a blank disc, even though the one I'm putting in is indeed blank. The only workaround is to take the playlist and eliminate all the tracks that were already burned, then creating a new disc from the remaining tracks. Then, of course, I go through the whole "the burner is already in use" message until after several attempts to insert the disc and have it spit out again it finally works.
    The message comes up whether I put the disc in before clicking the "Burn Playlist to Disc" menu item, or if I wait until it tells me to insert a blank disc. But when it successfully proceeds to the "Checking media" step, it's usually when the disc is inserted before starting the burn.
    I have to suspect that some kind of helper app is the culprit but for the life of me I can't figure out which one. I've seen other reports of this same message and none of those people are likely to have some of the same specialized apps that I run like Drobo or ScanSnap Manager or ChronoSync. I'm kind of willing to try a process of elimination but the prospect of continually removing an app at a time and rebooting is not something I look forward to. Could take up the better part of a day, costing me hundreds of dollars in lost time, so if anyone has an inkling of where to start I would really appreciate it.

    I hadn't checked this, so I disconnected the external drives and tried again. Same thing.
    FWIW, I had already tried deleting the itunes preference files and that made no difference.

  • New iTunes Install.  Must I Now Import Music Files?  Or Does iTunes Include Them Automatically?

    I have just installed iTunes on my new computer.  All of my iTunes music files are on my hard disk.  Do I have to take some kind of affirmative action to "connect up" my music files to iTunes?  I don't seem to be able to access any of my music files with iTunes.  Do I have to import all of my music files into my iTunes library before I can listen to the music?  I know this sounds like a dumb question, and I suspect the answer is, "Of course, stupid," but I want some confirmation of what I should do at this point before going ahead.  Anyone?

    I previously had my entire iTunes library on another computer, along with (of course) iTunes as well.  I could happily listen to all the music I wanted with a huge library to select from.  All was well.  Then my computer died.  Fortunately, I had everything backed up - in Carbonite, actually.  I got a new computer last week and recovered all of my data files (including my iTunes music files), which are now on the hard drive of my new computer.
    Then I downloaded iTunes onto my new computer, thinking that, somehow, iTunes would "reach out" and grab all of my iTunes music files, without my having to do anything.  I don't think it works that way, right?  I think I have to import all of my music files into the newly installed version of iTunes, before I will be able to access those files through iTunes.
    Is this correct?
    (I still have the first computer, but I am unable to boot it up.  Since I have recovered all of my music files through Carbonite, I don't see the first computer as an issue, right?)

  • Does Safari's email this page feature work with opening gmail in the browser and not in Mail?

    I use gmail, not mail, as my default email client. When I decided to give the "email this page" feature a try, it only opens up a new gmail compose window/tab in safari but doesn't actually include the link to whatever page I wanted to send. Is this the correct behavior? Is there anyway to go about getting this to work? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    I have the exact same question.

  • Why does Itunes keep freezing up and stop working?

    It is kind of getting old but my Itunes player (does not matter which one as I update to the latest version) has this nasty habit of freezing whether I am trying to listen to the radio or my own library.
    It is now happening almost every time I use Itunes and when it freezes the only fix is to do the old Control-Alt-Delete.
    I am running a 64 bit Window's 7 home premium and prefer using Itunes but you know if you does not work get something else
    I have 4 GBs Ram with a 2.6 Dual Core Pentium

    Just out of curiosity when you say iTunes sent you here, do you mean that there was a link to here in the iTunes application, or that someone from Apple sent you here?
    There are lots of posts from general iTunes users on this forum so I'm curious to know if/how people are being misdirected.
    Thanks

  • How does the new "download additional fonts" feature works?

    I'm so happy to see that the “download additional fonts” feature has added in the newest iWork suite for iOS. In previous versions of iWork for iOS, available fonts are only limited to those that iOS has built in, which you can see a complete font list here: iOS 7: Font list.
    And a couple of days ago, I found that the iOS 7 is now support “download additional fonts for Apps” feature. Which means that Apps can download a Apple-provided list of addtional fonts if necessary. And we can find this list of font in that support page given above.
    So if you edit a pages / keynote / numbers file on a Mac using some fonts that iOS hasn't, then when you open it on an iOS device, it'll download the fonts for you to make your document more beautiful and personalized. That is to make sure that the document has exactly the appearance that you wanted.
    But here comes the question:
    Sometimes, those addtional downloaded fonts are available for all the documents in that App, and sometime they are only available on that particular document. Any idea how does this function work? Is it a normal function, or is it a bug waiting to be fixed?
    The downloaded "addtional fonts" are only limited to that App you're using. For example, you can access the fonts in which the App you downloaded them. So if you're using Pages to download fonts, you won't be able use them in Keynote. In other words, you have to download them again, and this will obviously take a large amount of storage space on my device if I want to use those fonts in every App. So again, is it a normal function, or is it a bug?
    Any solutions, guys? A thousand thanks in advance!

    This isn't totally new, as it was part of iOS 6 as well:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5484
    But since it really only applied to Asian fonts, it was not of much interest to other users.
    Could you give an example the fonts not being available in other documents in a particular app?
    I think confining the extra font to individual apps would be considered by Apple to be their standard desired behavior and not a bug.  It is the way iOS works in general.
    Have you actually checked the amount of storage space these fonts take up?  I doubt it is very large.

  • Why does itunes freeze up windows/PC but work fine on mac?

    Yes itunes is apple but why make it so bad on PC and fine on mac? not everyone has the money for mac. And school wise windows is much easier than mac. One of my friends is stupid enough to rely on pages for everything but when we need to use excel or publisher she cant figure out how to do things so she either goes to the library in precious sleep time before school, or during lunch and recess, etc; OR she uses my laptop before school which I find quite annoying moving it from my morning mess down to another room. Seriously if Apple is trying to get more people to buy macs ITS NOT F*CKING WORKING!!!! It's just making me ****** at having to wait 10 hours and lose most of my sleep trying to do a recovery of my ipod coz it took too long to sync and kept stuffing up my laptop. And now i cant have any decent games because it will freeze up my perfectly fast and relativly new laptop (few months old). This also happens on all other windows in my household and my friends also complain. BTW I am not a noob. I'm actually really good with technology and gaming though my appearance suggests otherwise.

    Around these parts - yes resync is a word.
    The waiting icons are appearing in the iPad correct? If so, finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then try to sync the apps. Don't connect the iPad when you do this - just try to finish the downloads in iTunes.
    Where can you see your music? In the music app itself on the iPad?

  • Does Itunes home sharing trhough Apple TV work for Macbook 2010?

    Dear all,
    I have been going through this forum and I saw that Screen Mirroring is not possible for 2011 previous Macbooks, but I haven't been able to find any evidence that streaming audio from my Macbook to the TV through Apple TV is possible.
    This will definetively make a point for my decission on buying Apple TV.

    Hi Winston,
    So, the functionality exists independently of the macbook pro version?
    Yes, I think you may be getting mixed up with AirPlay mirroring.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • Saved pdf file does not include filled in text

    i am using adobe acrobat pro; trail version.  I can fill in a fillable pdf file but after saving the file and then emailing the filethe received email attachment does not include my text included in the pdf form?

    It most likely does include it in the form, but the PDF viewer that's being used does not display it. If the user were to use Adobe Reader/Acrobat, the form data should appear as expected. The default PDF viewer that mobile devices and some browsers use don't have sufficient support for forms.
    If the recipient does not need to interact with the form fields, you can flatten the form before sending it out. This converts the form field appearances to regular page content, so it will very likely appear fine in most any PDF viewer. Post again if you need help flattening form fields using Acrobat.

  • How exactly does the shotlist feature work?

    That might be the case but there are still plenty of 'traditional' workflows,
    so if you need to conform to their way of working you'll need it.
    For me it's a mix between freewheeling (can also end in a really big mess) and
    more controlled traditional way of doing things (usually when money/time
    situation is a little easier and depending on production company).
    So maybe a feature for 2.0?

    Avid has the workflow, don't know how many really use it in that integrated
    way but I do know on long form projects the editor usually asks for the
    continuity notes.

    Yes in an ideal situation.
    However, how does it work when a tool like On Location is not available?
    In that case I still like the lined script metaphor...
    If it's too cluttered could you not implement a feature to optionally turn
    on/off the lines once you constructed the shot list?
    I'm also referring to prep when a director does a shot list before the
    shoot (not merely the lining traditionally done by the continuity supervisor).
    I also realize that the lining method only works when your script is more
    or less finished (there we go again)... So flexibility is the key :-).

    Nice if it works for them. 
    I've also seen this used where the wide shots were laid out at the bottom
    and the closer shots near the top and that was supposed to correspond to
    the emotional high points in the story.  Whatever works.

  • Include CD text is grayed out on one computer but not other?

    I am having a strange issue with Itunes on different computers. I have Itunes on both my home computer and my computer at work. On my work computer which is an HP, when I go to preferences>Advanced>Burning> I can select “include CD text”, and everything works fine. However, on my home computer running the same version of ITunes, that option is grayed out and I can’t select it. I have checked some settings, but can’t seem to figure out why I can’t select it on my home computer. Please Help
    HP   Windows XP  

    Ok, I finally got a chance to burn a CD using the Nero express program. Although it was a two step process; 1. burn songs to CD and 2. save tracks to CD, the song names were recognized by the Sure Thing label program, but not the ITunes program. I brought the CD to work, and put it in the computer and the ITunes program did not find the CD text there either. I would assume that the DVD/CD writer IS capable of writing the CD text to the audio CD since the tracks are recognizable by both the Nero program and the Sure Thing label program. Now to figure out why I can’t select “include CD text” in the ITunes preferences on that computer. Oh, I also looked up the model of the work computer disk drive (HP DVD Writer 640I) that allowes the selection of "include CD text" and the home computer disk drive (HP DVD writer 740I) that has this option grayed out. The specs are almost identical with the possible improvements to the later model 740I. I don't know, weird stuff.
