Freezing When Burning

Hi I am having problems burning CDs in Wave Burner.
For example I am burning 6 Track to a CD Wave burner start the process bounces, start saying it will take 6.50 mins moves to saying it will take 6.20 mins than freezes
I to abort to get out of the process
The CD is then not seeable
When I restart the Mac the CD can bee seen with AIFF files on it which just play a very short 0.5 sec of sound all of which sound the same
Things I have tried
1 Looking through settings can see a\ny that migh need changing (Gulp hope I am wrong)
2 Tried a number of new CDs
3 Burnt the same tracks in iTunes, Which worked
3 Restarted lots
4 Tried burning other single AIFF files with similar problems
5 Run disk first aid on all HDs (Just to check)
6 Left wave burner burning over night to see if it would clear latter on
Can anuone give me any assistance with this. Although I have been working with LP for a year or so thi sis the first time I have used wave burner so not sure if it has always bee like this since LP7 or just started since LP8 was installed
Thanks
Joff

Same thing for me, after I hit abort, disk keeps spinning then I quit Wave Burner, disk still spinning, I then have to hit the eject command from finder to get it to stop spinning, this never used to happen and I've been burning since 2005 with wave burner. I try another disk then sometimes it works. Could it be a, drive is starting to fail or b, 10.4.11 Tiger, or c, one of the pro audio app updates. Hmmm. I'll try Itunes, NOT COOL.

Itunes freezes when burning CDs

Similar post to others here. Since upgrade to IT 6, Itunes freezes when trying to burn some CDs. IT shows as "not-responding" in task manager. Seems to happen when burning CDs with newly downloaded tracks, perhaps in combination with imported tracks. I've tried several suggestions posted here.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime
- Installed updated BIOS, chipset, and CD R drivers
No luck.
Sometimes if I wait 3-5 minutes it will start the burn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Log follows.

hi David!
The computer just freezes and according to Task Manager, iTunes takes 100% of the computer's resources.
Help! Any suggestions?
first let's try a
b repair install.
go to your add/remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
if no joy with that, let's try working through some of the other usual suspects:

Video freezes when burning disc image

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem when making a disc image? I created movie in imovie and saved it as a dv (which I do all the time). After creating an idvd menu, etc., I save it as a disc image. But when I test the movie in dvd player, it works for a while (in this case about 8 min) and then the video freezes. I can still hear it though.
I did a few others a couple months ago and they were fine. This movie is 1 1/2 hours and another was 1/2 hr. and both froze about the same times.
I don't know if it's a system error that may just need idvd to be re-installed or something else.
If anyone has a solution to this, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Thanks for your comment but the problem exists even BEFORE I burn it. I do the test from mounting the disc image and it's there. I think it's happening when idvd is encoding the movie for the disc image, but I don't know why.

Itunes 7.3.1 freezes when burning cds

I just downloaded Itunes 7.3.1. It freezes whenever I try to burn cds. It doesn't even get to the burn screen; I click "burn" and everything jams. When I hit "control ALT delete" and look at the itunes program, it is suddenly taking up a lot of memory (75,000 K).
This happens regardless of whether I hit "burn" in the file menu or on the bottom of the screen. It also happens when I try to back up my library.
Any suggestions?

I have the same issue. I took it the genius bar and called talked to tier 2 phone support. They have standard thing where you uninstall all apple software in a certain order and then reinstall 64bit itunes. That did nothing (tried it 4 times).
I've gotten two clues so far.
One is that at the store if I plug someone else's iphone 4 in then itunes acts the same way. So it is not the phone. Two is tier 2 phone support told me to try syncing it with a fresh user account (an admin one). I did that and itunes was just fine, it did not freeze.
So there appears to be some conflict with the software, music files, whatever that is on my current user account (also an admin account). I ran virus and malware detectors and found nothing. Now I'm going to try putting my music, movies, apps, etc in the new user account and see if the phone will sync then.
I know its not much but thats where I'm at. I hope it helps.

IDVD freezes when burning

Hi all,
My iDVD is playin up. I've created a beautiful movie (12mins long) but when i tell iDVD to burn it does all the processing and encoding but it freezes just before it starts burning. I tried to burn it 4 times and nothing I did helped. I did close down all the other programs not needed to free up CPU space but it didn't help.
I also had the problem of I was using a DVD-R which disk utility said was locked and unwritable but, in system profiler, the CD drive says it will burn DVD-Rs and that the media in it is a DVD-R and that it is writable. I dunno what's wrong. please help
thanks,
Sam

when I start the burning project until it gets to the audio, then i get the spinning disc icon and the application freezes. I right click on the idvd icon and it says the application is not responding, so I force quit...
Please don't 'panic' - it really HASN'T frozen. Let it alone and ignore the application is not responding thing - it's lying to you.
Encoding can take several hours and often seems to stall during the audio encoding process. Have patience and let iDVD do it's thing!

ITunes new version 7.0.1.8 freezes when burning

Ever since I got the new iTunes 7, I can't burn my playlists to CDs.
When I'm in my playlist, I click Burn Disc on the bottom right.
Then it tells me to insert a blank disc, which I do.
After the disc is in, the display says that it's "Checking Playlist". I watch the load bar and noticed it doesn't reach the end. Near the end, the display goes blank and my iTunes is frozen.
Can someone please help me?

I realized that you just need to wait for iTunes to work through everything.

ITunes Freezes when Burning a Mix

Every time that I attempt to burn a mix CD, using songs that I had previous to using iTunes which are in .mp3 format and some of the music that I have purchased through the store (.m4p) or at a brick-and-mortar store (.m4a) iTunes freezes up and I have to ctrl-alt-delete to shut it down. Please don't tell me that I'm not able to burn CDs featuring a mix of songs that I have purchased and songs I previously owned. I have paid a lot of money to Apple through the iTunes store and I should be allowed to make a compilation if I choose to. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Its not my burner or Windows because I burned the new Shins' CD (purchased on iTunes) with no problem.
PC Windows XP

Hi everyone on this thread.
I'm glad to see that it isn't just me who has problems JUST with the playlists with the downloaded/purchased tracks on it.
I have been to my PC company and they installed the latest firmware for my motherboard, so I have nothing more to do there.
I have tried everything. I can only assume this is an Itunes 6.0 problem as everything was ok for me until I downloaded that update.

K7N2 Delta2 Platinium - System freezes when copying or writing to HDD

I am experiencing a strange problem. I don't know what I have changet to my system but since 3 days ago I am geting this system lock up when I move or copy files from one HDD to another. Windows doesn't show any error message. When copying files, either in the midle of the proces or at the end the system LOCKS UP and there is nothing i can do except a hot restart. I never had this problems and it was months that my computer was very stable. I have no ide how to test to get some info about this issue. Any opinions ?
Thanx

The tems are cool. CPU varies from 44°(idle) to 58° celcius (full load). Motherboard also 35° celcius. Now i dont know whats the start but let me tell the whole story. First of all i have this system since long time ago. Normally i install the computer once, than I optimize the system as i want it to be and than i back it up. Now Since i have all my programs installed in the way i want i dont like to reinstall the computer often, because it will take me two week to complete all the tweaks and changes that i do normally. So this system that is now runing has passed to three different motherboards (computer changes). Maybe the process of installing and reinstalling drivers in the system has degraded it. I am very carefull to clean drivers, registry and all. Although the system shows now errors, about 7 months ago i used to suffer system freezes when burning DVD. I couldn't resolve the issue since the problem was Nero being victim of SERVICE PACK 2. Anyway i have read that Windows XP SP has some Buffer and Cache problems and it makes conection with the burning problems. Since then i don't know how, after some times the burning problem disappeared ... i could burn DVD with the same version of NERO and everything was fine untill 3 days ago . So i got the new NERO 7 with its new EXTRA BUFFER feature whitch works fine. Soon after installing NERO 7 one of my HDD crashed (i dont thing it has any conection with nero), it lost the partition table and it was recognised as UNALLOCATED. I recovered all the datas using a software calle R-Studio (very good by the way it can recover FDISK, Format, Delete, everything). After i had reformated the drive that crashed, I copyed back all the rescued files. Its there that the Copy Hang Ups started. WINDOWS doesn't show any ERROR at all, that means that there is no controller or HDD problem. I checked the drive and its fine. What reasured me that the drive was not the cause, was that even when i started copying between the other drives of my system i got the same problem. So maybe my system is in a very very bad shape, or i dont have a clue of this thing What is strange its that WINDOWS DOESN'T SHOW ANY ERROR MESSAGE, and PRIME STRESS TEST GOES ON FOR HOURS WITHOUT THE SMALLEST PROBLEM.
Thanx Dr. Stu I also tried copying at stock speed and i got the same problem.

I tune freezes when I try to burn

OK, like everyone else I have read through countless threads looking for a solution to my problem. My problem being that I can no longer burn play lists containing both purchased and imported music. I can burn just purchased or just imported, but not together. So this leaves me to believe that this is an iTunes issue. (It all started back when 4.9 was out.) Since then I have removed it, repaired, upgraded it, and everything else I could think of under the sun. I was hoping when iTunes 6 came out it would solve the problem, but it didn't. I even thought to myself hey maybe it is my computer so I took the songs I wanted to burn and put them on multiple machines (3 others) and try to burn the with iTunes. No luck same thing happened, thought hey maybe it is the songs. Nope they couldn't do it with their own songs either. So like I said this has to be an iTunes software issue. Now I am sure their are more people out their with the same problem and they have called apple and sent their diagnostics in, but no one has come up with any answers. I have searched and searched, but their are no answers out their. You would have figured by now someone would be like hey I have found a solution. Oh well all I am asking in this semi-rant is for an answer to the problem why iTunes freezes when trying to burn playlists containing purchased and imported music? Thanks for your time.

ITunes freezes when I try to burn a CD

When I try to burn a CD, iTunes freezes (with no error message) and I have to use Task Manager to close it. It also freezes when I click on the "Burn" tab in Properties and I have to use Task Manager to close it. I have tried to run CD Diagnostics (without a CD in it as instructed on other threads), but it locks up. Everything else on iTunes works, I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, and I have checked and updated all Windows updates.
Any help would be really appreciated!!

I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.

Thanks for your question.
My system has all of the updates and drivers. The problem stated when I upgraded iTunes.
Are you suggesting that because of that, I need to upgrade to Windows XP?
Many people are having the same problem as I, and they already have Windows XP....so I doubt that is the problem.
My question is:
Where can I find an older revision of iTunes? At least then we could use our burners until apple fixes this bug, and then upgrade.
Thanks again,

When burning a DVD from Elements 13, it freezes at 90%

when burning a DVD in elements 13, it freezes at 90% and locks up elements until I cancel burn.

Jerry Jarrett
If you wish to pursue your question about burn to disc, then I would be glad for the opportunity to be of assistance.
The following would be my troubleshooting strategy and questions
1. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
2. Have you looked at the issue with and without the Intel HD Graphics 2000 and Higher preferences disabled
(See Edit Menu/Preferences/General)?
3. Where are you in Publish+Share/Disc/, DVD, AVCHD, or Blu-ray? And, what does the burn dialog's Quality Area
show for Space Required and Bitrate? What brand/type/capacity disc are you using?
4. Is the issue specific to one Timeline in one project? Or, is the problem there with another Timeline content and another
project.
I would prefer to see you sort out the burn to disc issue if possible because of the download problems associated with the 3rd party software
that is typically needed to obtain the disc product from the Premiere Elements VIDEO_TS, BDMV, or ISO Image. Excellent 3rd party software if you
can get it installed without a lot of companion garbage. Although how to have been described for the safest possible download and install, there
are no guarantees that you will not be hit with a lot of computer cleanup just to get one excellent program.

ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!
