How can I burn a CD?, How can I burn a CD?

Please help me, how do I burn a music CD?
thank you

Which version of iTunes do you use?  Your profile says you are running OSX 10.4.7
iTunes 10 for Mac: Create your own audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1747
iTunes 10 for Mac: Disc burning overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1746
iTunes 10 for Mac: If you have trouble burning a CD - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1751
By the way, this is really a software question and probably should have been posted in the iTunes forum for the most comprehensive answers, not the MacBook Pro hardware forum.

  • How can I get Itunes 7 to burn to my external La Cie burner, and not my internal Pioneer burner, which is behaving unreliably?

    Is there a way to reset the default CD burner? I have an internal pioneer burner the DVR105, and an external firewire La Cie burner. The La Cie burner is much newer  and will burn properly. However, itunes 7 is trying to burn to the internal DVR105 only, and it keeps giving me errors.
    How can I get Itunes to burn to the healthy la Cie? I know my Toast software recognizes it...I have burned DVDs to the La Cie many times before  in Toast. Itunes offers me no option to select which burner to use, unlike Toast. My OS is Panther.
    thx

    Sorry, Itunes is not giving me that dialog. Lemme tell you, it did give me a related dialog earlier today when my La Cie was not connected. Apparently it defaulted back to the Pioneer at that time. I have since reconnected the La Cie, and the system is seeing it, however Itunes won't offer me the option to burn to the La Cie. It just burns to the Pioneer, then gives me an error saying it can't burn the CD.

  • TS1436 I received this message twice on 2 new & separate attempts to burn a playlist to a NEW cd:  "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What is a "medium write error" and how can I deal with this?

  • How to burn a slideshow to DVD for anyone to play. I burned a DVD and can play it on my mac, but will not open in windows

    Need to know how to burn a DVD that can be viewed by any DVD player.  I created a DVD from a slideshow created in iPhoto.  I can open it on my computer, but it will not open or even be recognized in my home DVD player.  I asked a friend to try it on a Windows computer and he could not open it.  What's the key to creating things for friends & family that do not have Mac anything?

    Try using a LensCleaner Disk first off. If that won't even run try a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Then use the Lens Cleaner again. Make sure your disks are immaculately clean.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • How can I modify the Fit, Crop, or Ken Burns effect for the entire movie?

    How can I modify the Fit, Crop, or Ken Burns effect for the entire movie? I've been having to go through them all individually which takes forever.

    You could try  Edit > Select All  then click on the crop button and change the setting from Ken Burns to Fit.
    I find that this only works if you do not have the Automatic Cross Dissolve transitions in place.
    If you do, File > Project Theme and uncheck the transitions and remove them.
    After you have changed from Ken Burns to Fit, you can re-apply them.
    Easiest way in future is to set up your project (File > Project Properties) before you start adding photos.

  • How can I keep timing in Keynote consistent before burning?

    How can I keep timing in Keynote consistent before burning? And also, is there a way to preview the show,say halfway through it, without the music starting at the beginning. This solution would save a lot of hours of prep  before that final burn?

    I do tons of presentations and know exactly what you are talking about.  I have experienced presentations that (I know this sounds illogical) seem to get a little out of sync depending on the projector I am using for the presentation.
    I know this is not a great soulution but it might help a little.  With 325 pictures make 3 presentations and link them together.  This is not pretty but may help some.  This way you have 3 specific points to start and edit from and won't experience as much of a domino effect if one is off. 
    If you are just using pictures and want a fairly automated presentation you might also think of using iMovie where you can have a little more flexibility with the soundtrack and timing.  If you use iMovie you can edit each picture individually as far as time and still be able to see where you are in the soundtrack in one "big picture" no pun intended.
    Keynote is awesome in most things but there are a few that are still very quirky.
    Hope this helps at least some.

  • I got an error message while burning a cd in itunes - "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error.  What is that and how can i fix it?t

    I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

  • How do I create a DVD I can watch on TV from an Iphone5 Video

    My operating system is OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.  After is download IPHONE 5 videos.  How do I make a DVD that can be watched on a regular TV.  I might add that I'm somewhat a novice.

    It sounds like the video is something downloaded from iTunes. If it is, then I don't think that there is any legal or easy way to make a DVD from it. I believe that there are apps on the internet that claim to be able to do so (just google on something like "burn iTunes video to DVD") but how effective they are or what effect they might have on your computer, I do not know, and I can't believe that they are not circumventing the agreement that was implicit, if not explicit, when you downloaded the file. If the file was somehow downloaded from somewhere other than iTunes, and it didn't have the same sort of restrictions that iTunes has, then you would need to copy it from your iPhone to your iMac. How you could do this might depend on the format of the file and what apps you have on your iPhone. it might be possible using iTunes sync, email (may not be possible due to file size) or an app like Filebrowser (a superb app that it well worth the little it costs). Once on your iMac, you could use Burn (free software) or Roxio Titanium to burn the file to a DVD. if you are talking about only one video, would all this be worth it, even if it was do-able?

    Ed - by sequence of numbers, are you talking about the rectangle with the arrow that sorts by track number?  I've tried to follow your directions to Mona but my playlist still gets burned to CD in alpha order.  driving me crazy.  any other suggestions?   thanks, Chris
    Chris, The sequence number is the first column of numbers, to the left of the Name column.  It always goes 1, 2,3  etc.  It is not the same as the Track Number, which has its own column.
    As a precaution before burning, make sure that Shuffle is tunred off, and that you right-click the playlist name and choose 'Copy to Play Order"  (although technically they should not affect the burn).

    On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.
