Having trouble playing burned cds on other than pc?

I have finally figured out how to download tunes that I have downloaded from Itunes onto a cd... However, when I go to play them I can play them on my manual cd player ( hand held ) and the PC but when I go to play them in my cd player in the car - they wont play - says no disk read.. Why? I am using the windows media to download and choosing the audio pc option.............. Please help!

Hi, susan3598.
Can you confirm you are using CD-R's as opposed to CD-RW's?
That could be the problem for your car player.
If you eliminate that possibility, could you explain your situation a bit more clearly. I'm not sure what you mean by your I am using the windows media to download reference.

  • Troubles playing burned CDs

    I'm having trouble with CDs I'm burning. At first I thought it might be audio software issues, but now I'm thinking it may be my optical drive. Seeking advice....
    The issue arose after I had recorded a session in Logic Pro, then burned it to disc using Waveburner. I opened the disc in iTunes and everything looked fine and even the first song played fine, but as the second song began, iTunes crashed. I put the CD in my home stereo CD player and it wouldn't load or play...I just got the error message "bad" where usually the track number would appear on the face of the player. I made some adjustments in Waveburner, tried again and got the same results.
    Thinking it might be Waveburner, I imported the audio files into Bias Peak, created a playlist and burned a disc from there. Exact same problem. Next I tried importing the audio files into iTunes, made a playlist and burned a disc there. Same problem.
    On a whim, I burned a playlist in iTunes from existing songs I had imported long ago from commercial CDs in case the problem was with my newly recorded audio files. Same problem. The disc will burn fine, show up in iTunes fine, but after the first song iTunes crashes. The disc also will not play in my regular CD player. I've been burning discs with each of these workflows for a number of years and this is the first I've encountered this.
    So, in a nutshell, I can burn discs without any error messages, and iTunes will recognize them but CD players won't. However, iTunes crashes after the first song. I'm using the latest version of iTunes (10.5.1), but since the discs aren't being recognized in a regular CD player, I doubt iTunes is really the culprit (nor are any of the other softwares I used for burning, I assume). Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

    Thanks! I have used 2 different kinds of blank CDs during this project, TDK and Verbatim. Same results with each.

  • TS1362 I am having trouble playing imported cds.  The tracks keep sticking which is a bit like buffering is this a common problem and can i rectify it.

    Being new to the iphone I am having trouble listening to imported cds.  The tracks keep sticking a bit like buffering.  Is this a common problem and can it be solved just by addressing a general buffering problem which I already have on youtube but have not rectified as yet.
    Thanks Kaz T

    If <alanfromnewtownards> fix fails to address the issue - turn off iMessage and Facetime in Settings.  Settings\iMessage, and Settings\facetime.
    Sync by cable to iTunes.
    Leave cable connected, open Settings\iCloud and ensure at least Mail is on and dsplays your Apple iD email -  then turn iMessage and Facetime back on.  Ensure that in the ISettings...\iMessage...\Facetime page that the Receive at field and Receive video calls at email address is the same address as your Apple I.D.
    Resync when finished.
    If still having problems with Facetime then check that the required port is open - allowing traffic in your router.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
    In some cases you may need to turn on Port forwarding and open the port manually to allow traffic through.  See your router documentation for details.
    If having problems verifying, open iTunes store App on your pad.  at bottom of page, click on your ID and sign in. Go to your Account details (re-veryfying and answering security questions may be required to do this) - check all details are correct.
    Finally right click your device icon in iTunes and select Reset warnings.  resync when finished.

  • HT2688 Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help

    Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help please

    I also have this problem, as does everybody else I know who has tried to use the video in icloud. As the original poster says, they can be uploaded, but will only play on the device from which they were originally uploaded, appeaering only as images which display an endless buffering symbol when "played" on any other devices with which the photostream is shared.
    Has anyone been able to get this to work? And if not, why is there no acknowledgement from Apple that this bug exists and will be addressed in an update (now running 7.0.2 and still no improvement)? It was, after all, advertised as one of the attractive new features of iOS 7. So why the stony silence?

  • Im having trouble playing games, dvds and youtube videos. any help?

    Im having trouble playing CD games on my Mac. They open and then close right away everything i need is downloaded. I have trouble watching some YouTube videos. Some play and then the others either go in slow motion or dont play at all. I also am having trouble playing DVDs. the DVD play opens then says that "a valid video device could not be found for playback". If anyone can help me out that wpuld be great.

    For server issues try using OpenDNS servers. System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS.
    Click on the + in the left column and insert the following:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK, then click Apply
    For you reference: http://www.opendns.com
    Actually 10.8.3 is snappier than before. Even Safari (updated). Boot to your ML recovery disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

  • HT5731 I just downloaded a star trek episode, "The Gamesters of Triskelion" but I am having trouble playing it on my computer...what do I need to do???

    I just downloaded a TV episode from the iTunes Store, but so far am having trouble playing the full episode. (It only plays the :20 "preview")...what am I doing wrong???

    How are you trying to play it ? The full episode should have downloaded into the TV Shows part of your iTunes library - is that where you are trying to play it from ?

  • Blackberry having trouble playing youtube videos

    I own a blackberry curve 8530 and its having trouble playing youtube videos. It plays youtube videos up to 59 seconds and then it stops. It gives me the same error message saying:
    "An error has occured attempting to play the media".
    I have tried turning on and off my phone, pressing alt+enter+del, and doing the battery pull. None of those methods have worked.
    Has anyone had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? Ive pretty much have tried everything i could think of and none of the forums seems to have a solution.
    Is the phone the problem or is youtube?
    If you know of the solution, your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello hashbrown602,
    The following post by Cory from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog outlines a few steps you can try to successfully play videos from YouTube.

    If you still have issues after going through each of the steps, you may want to contact your wireless service provider to check your data plan settings.

  • I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?

    I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?
    Many thanks

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • Having trouble with my screen becoming larger than the phone supports.  Can this be fixed easily?

    Having trouble with my screen becoming larger than my phone supports.  Can this be corrected without taking the phone to an Apple store?

    The sign on screen (where the current time and the slide to unlock) and if I can get it to open, the next screen that show all the apps.  Have been unable to get any further that that second screen.  The screen contents appear to be about twice the size they should be.  I have been able to "reset" the phone by turning it off, but the problem happening several times a day and now occasioanally the reset does not work.  This just started happening about 3 days ago and is increasing in frequency.  I have had this phone about 14 months.

  • Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased?  I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

    Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased?  I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
    At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
    If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

  • I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning.

    I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning. I attempted to burn a DVD but the following error message appeared - 'Burning preparation error. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. iDVD needs 6,541 GB of disk space to encode the remaining assets, but only 2,179 GB is available at "Macintosh HD". I've moved several items over to an external hard drive but this error message remains. How do I save this movie to the preferred external hard drive?

    You can move the iDVD project file to the EHD but you still need plenty of free space on your boot drive for encoding.
    It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 20-25 GB of free space be maintained on the boot drive.  Otherwise you'll run into what you're experiencing and increased encoding times.

  • BMW Won't Play Burned CDs

    I have a 2003 BMW 525i. I burned a few audio CDs with iTunes, so I could listen to them in the car. When I inserted them, either nothing would play, or a continuous noise would come from the speakers.
    Should I set it to a lower running speed? Does it not play audio CDs? Or is it iTunes, do I need to use different software to burn it? I'm having a tough time figuring this out, and I need an answer!!!
    I know this may be a problem with the car, so I should go to a BMW forum or go to the dealer and figure out what's up. If its a software issue, however, I figured I should check the Support Communities first.
    Thanks in advanced!!!

    Pretty old CD player so my first guess is it does not accept CD-R (burned) discs.

  • Quicktime having trouble playing animated movies

    I have a few movies I downloaded from DC++ that I want to play, but quicktime says it's unable to play them because it's missing software. I have the newest update of QT, and the movies I have trouble playing are only animated ones, such as corpse bride, team america, and final fantasy. Whats up?

    If QuickTime can open the files then go to the Window menu and select Show Movie Info to see the Format: for information on what animation codec may have been used, then try to find a suitable QuickTime component for playback... the link below may help with that.

  • I am having trouble playing some of my songs.

    Hello there.
    I have been using an iPhone and a Mac since forever, and this is the first time I have encountered such a problem.
    One of the songs that I bought from iTunes (and one that I would like to listen once in every five minutes) cannot be played from both my computer (a MacBook Pro Retina Display), and my phone (iPhone 5).
    While I suspect that the problem might be occuring because of the Explicit tag on the song, I have no trouble playing other songs of such rating from my devices.
    When I try to play the song on my Mac, iTunes keep asking me for authorization over and over despite the computer is one of my authorized ones, and when I tap the 'play' button on iPhone, the phone switches madly from 'play' sign to 'stop' sign and continues to do so until I tap the sign again.
    I am over the legal age, I have my restrictions set off, and I have absolutely no idea why this might be happenning.
    Thank you for reading.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
