G5 cd's won't play in car

I can burn audio files fine in itunes (or any other app) on my g4 (less than 1 ghz processor)..but when I try to burn audio cd's on my g5 (using memorex printable cd-r media) it will play fine on my mac but not in the car (unless I skip over the first track while playing, and start from track 2)....any help please...I think it might just be the disk (memorex printable cd-r 32x) I

Using my new G5 I have the same problem, which I did not know using my old G4 with an external LaCie burner. The CD-Changer in my car is not able to read audio-cds, also my cd-player in my home hifi-system. The only way to play these audio-cds is (strange...) to put them directly in the main tuner of my car (usually used for the navigation cd), not using the Changer.
Maybe the problem really depends on the quality of the CD-Rs. I have used CD-Rs from Sony (it´s a brand, I think?) and will try Verbatim.

(this year I burned a cd on a friends mac note book;black; he never did it, and we changed no preferences, and i had no clue what i was doing; burned cd, not knowing what i was doing; and it worked, and the cd still plays great; that was months ago.)

back to walmart I go. I did burn on a other kind, but it won't read in the car, but I didn't make sure the preference said music cd. now it does. why doesn't this have to be so complicated?
maybe it's the burner that I down loaded: it says macintosh hd. Maybe it only burns to a higher hd quality and won't play in the car? I don't know
expensive; waste of money, but I can't rewwrite over these; i don't know how to do that?
thank you

Audio CD's won't play in Car

I've been burning a few CD's through itunes- after read errors I finally get it to work but it still won't play in my cars CD player. What can I do? Do I need a new car radio?

To make audio CDs that work in most stereo systems, use CD-R discs. CD-RW discs usually work only in computers.
Also make sure your burn settings are set for audio CD, not mp3 CD (unless you know your car CD player can play an mp3 CD) or data CD.

Ipod Nano won't play in car...

Our car has an ipod USB but when connected, it says no music on my Nano. Does anyone know how to get it to play the songs off it?

Are you sure the car installation is compatible with the Nano you have? Some older installations won't work with new iPods.

Burned CD won't play in car player

I know similar questions to this have been asked, but I have not found a solution that works for me yet. I am burning a CD-R with iTunes, but it will not play in my car player. I have tried burning at different speeds. I have tried 3 different media types (Verbatim, Memorex, generic). None of them worked. I checked my iTunes settings to make sure I am burning an audio CD, and not an MP3 or data CD. I've probably burned 15 CDs to no avail.
I am burning them on a Sony drive. The CDs play fine in my computer. Just not in my car.
My car player is an older player (1996 factory Delco), but it has no problems playing normal CDs. I get an "E20" error message if that makes any difference.
Is it just a matter of trying more media types? Anybody have a media type that they got to work in an older Delco CD player? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I solved my problem. I can't guarantee this will work for anybody else having this same issue, but it worked for me. Since my player is 10 years old, I thought maybe the problem was the newer size of CD-Rs. So I bought some of the older, smaller size CD-Rs (650 MB versus the newer 700 MB). Now I can't be sure that was the total reason it worked, but it now works with these new CD-Rs. They are also Verbatim brand, which I also tried unsuccesfully with the 700 MB size. These Verbatims are not only 650 MB, but also a light blue tint on the bottom, which may also have made a difference. I don't know. I couldn't find any of these older, smaller CD-Rs at any local store. I found them on Amazon and ordered them there. These are the ones I ordered if you are interested.

Again, I can't guarantee these will work for you. There are probably many reasons why iTunes burned CDs won't work in some players.

ITunes MP3 discs won't play in car MP3 stereo

Hi there...
I burned some MP3 discs, in MP3 disc format, on iTunes that I play on my car MP3 stereo player, and the car MP3 player won't recognize the disc or play just one or two songs on the disc. I'm burning them on CD-Rs. Furthermore, my old MP3 discs I burned on iTunes 3 works FINE on my car stereo, it's just discs burned with the recent versions. Does iTunes convert MP3s in a different way now? Any ideas as to what I can do?
Also, mp3s I create on itunes are not recognized properly on my Motorola cell phone as mp3s... they call them "QP3"s; mp3s converted on a PC are still recognized as iTunes. Any ideas as to why that's happening? Whew, that's a lot. Hope someone can help and thanks for your time...

twangus, your problem could be (let me stress that word could) the way iTunes is burning the disc and your car CD player doesn't like it.
iTunes burns dual platform MP3 CDs: ISO 9660 (for Windows) and HFS+ Extended (for Mac OS X). It could be that your player doesn't like these discs. To test this you should burn your MP3 CD with third-party burning software that allows you to specify what format to burn the disc in. Either exclusively ISO 9660 or HFS+ Extended.
Two burning apps that will let you do this on a trial basis are Dragon Burn and Disc Blaze. Roxio's Toast will also allow you to choose the target platform for the disc but it has no trial version.
Try one of these apps and let us know your results.

OptiDisc cleaner won't run in iMac, CDs won't play in car

I was having problems with car CD player recognizing new iTunes burned CDs (which it's read in the past). Looking through the boards, I think I have two solutions:
1. I can solve that by slowing down the burn speed (will try later)
2. I need to clean the drive, so I bought a DVD/CD cleaner, the Memorex OptiDisc.
I loaded it in my PowerBook and iTunes read it easily, seemed to run the cleaning cycle just fine. But my iMac will not recognize the cleaning disc, just spits it out. I have read from others that the disc is recognizable, just looking for feedback or confirmation one way or another. TIA.

Ha, 10th time the charm. OptiDisc loaded and cleaned iMac. Slowed CD burn speed down to 4x, and disc now plays in the car. Hope this helps anyone with similar issues.

CDs I burn won't play on car player

I have no problems burning audio CDs with itunes. The CDs play great on every CD player EXCEPT the on in my car, which is where I really want to use them. I've burnt MP3 files to audio CDs using other software and they play just fine in my car, just not the CDs I create with itunes. Any suggestions? And trading cars is not an acceptable suggestion! Thanks.

Dunno what the issue is, but I've been having the same problem for a while. Disks I burn on my arch box actually cause some settop players to hardlock. ISOs I created a few months ago burn fine, but newly created ones, even of the same media, do not. All of them play fine on any computer I throw them in - linux, Mac, or windows.

Burned CDs won't play my car, but did when I had a PC

Why am I having this problem and how do I fix it? I've tried increasing and decreasing the CD burning speeds in iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

You've hit on one of the possible issues and since changing the speed isn't working, I have to ask - and don't be insulted - you are burning a music disk and not an MP3 disk, right? Does the CD play on your Mac and show up as an audio CD? If so but not in the car I'd suspect the media - cheap media is often not reflective enough for car CD players.

Burned cd's won't play in car or home, using sony cd-r or memorex cd-r 52x

The cd's i burn with itunes on my G5 10.5.8, and my macbook 10.6.8 will not play on my home stero or in my car.
I have tried two types of CD's. Does anyone know what the problem is? the disks burned on my much older laptop were fine.
Thanks, Bonnie

Hi, That's what I tried at first and the burning part wasn't there. However I figured it out.
The very first window that shows up after putting the CD in is a drop down window that I didn't know about.
So... choose "open in itunes"-then make a playlist, and burn! It worked in both my player and the car!!!!
I've used a hugh stack of CD's trying different things... but at last I think I got it. It looks different on
my newer computers.
Thanks so much for answering my questions.

Cd won,t play on car CD player

I have burn my purchased CD's and now when I go and try to play I get an "err".
If I play it on my computor it plays fine.

I just don't get it, CD's that I made copies of last year they work just fine.
I used a RW CD does that make a difference. They are TDK CD's.

When leave I nano 4th gen connected to either of my cars it no longer restarts playing when car is restarted. Instead it shows 'no entry' in the song title on the car audio display and won't play until disconnected and reconnected.

Nano has worked fine for a couple of years being left connected to either one of our cars. However, every time car is restarted it won't play without being disconnected and reconnected. I have done a full restore.
Current cars are Range Rover Sport 2011 and Jaguar XK 2011.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks,

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

IPhone 4 won't play music in car when through USB when connected to Bluetooth aswell.

Hi Guys
Could someone help me. My iphone connects to my car through a USB connector and works fine. When I also connect to my car Bluetooth the sound dissapears after a minute or so. My display still shows the song playing but no sound. I can still go through play lists change track etc but no noise. If I unplug the cable and plug back in again it will work again and after another minute or so the sound cuts out again. Sometimes it won't play at all.
It seems to work fine if the bluetooth isn't connected although I have not tested this extensively.
I have tried in 2 other cars to make sure it isn't a fault with the car and I get the same result.
It isn't linked to any software upgrade.
Has anybody else heard of this or know a solution????
Thanks
Michael.

Hi
Just to update for the last time. I have realised that if the bluetooth is paired to the car the music sound either does not play or plays for around a minute then cuts out. This still happens even if I disconnect the bluetooth connection. However if I delete the phone completely out at the car and cancel the pairing, the music plays fine no issues.
I guess somehow it is therefore based around the bluetooth. I have checked all menus I can find on the car and the phone to make sure there is no setting wrong somewhere. I cannot understand why it plays for a short time and then stops, seems like an intermittant fault ???
Thanks
Michael.

I have the old skool Monster car cable--i tune in the channel on the Monster cable and my old iPod plays. I bought the adapter for Lightning to accommodate the new iPod i just bought. But it won't play. ***?

It could just be a compatibility issue. Have you tried resetting the Nano with everything connected to see if that makes a difference?
To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Satellite A200 does not play DVDs won't play

I'm a first time user on this forum so hello to everyone.
My problem is that my (Vista-running) A200 Satellite will not play DVDs. When I try I get the following message: "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings. Needless to say, I've played around with the relevant settings and there was no change to the situation. In a response posted at a different forum, someone suggested that I ditch Windows Media Player in favour of something better. I thought the alternative program he suggested would be free but it wasn't. Anyway, I've tried playing DVDs with other programs and got the same basic message. So it's not a Windows Media Player thing, it's a playing DVDs thing. Also, it doesn't matter if WMP isn't the BEST DVD player - I just want to play DVDs!! I've written to a Microsoft customer care helper person and they wrote back saying that it wasn't their problem. They consider it a "hardware matter". I don't buy that.
Just some history - I bought the computer second hand from a good friend. Now I can't remember ever playing a DVD on the computer, which slightly confuses things for the following reasons. Just after I bought the computer, which runs Vista, I installed MP3 player software that disagreed with the CD/DVD player drivers. This I think is a fairly common problem. That time Microsoft reps were happy to help me and told me to delete two key lines of the registry. That fixed the problem to some extent because now the drive a) existed again and b) could read and play CDs. But when I tried to play a DVD I got the above-mentioned message.
So like I say, as I don't remember ever even trying to play a DVD on the drive, I don't know whether or not the problems are related to the MP3 software clash problem, although it doesn't seem unlikely that they are related. Finally, the computer was less than a year old when I bought it and in every other respect it has been fine (Vista's intolerable sluggishness notwithstanding). Sadly the extended warranty has now run out so I hope it's not a hardware problem. The point is that since I've never even played a DVD on this thing, and it plays CDs with no problems (furthermore, the drive can READ DVDs, it can tell me all the chapters that are on a DVD and read files off it - it just won't play movies), I don't think it's hardware. I think there's some bug going on.
If anyone could shed any light on this matter, I would be eternally grateful!
Regards
Tom

Turns out that my confidence in Windows Media Player was misguided.
I wrote and said as much to the Microsoft rep who advised me to look elsewhere for advice.
I further told him that from now on, if I meet anyone with the same problem I will give them the advice with which I was originally provided - don't use Windows Media Player.
Heeding the rep's advice, I looked around on the website for the company that produced my DVD drive (Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA Device) and in other forums, I forget where I found the advice but this media player:
Videolan Media Player Downloadable for free at:
http://www.videolan.org/
seems to play DVDs with no problems. I hope someone else might benefit from the information.
Good luck to all
