How do I check and see if my external CD drive is supported by iTunes

I have ripped a lot of Cds from this drive but it wont burn one!

Hello BelinaJo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I found some information regarding burning with external CD-RW drives in one of our support articles:
If a burned CD stutters when you play it in an external CD-RW drive, try playing it in an internal drive or a stereo system.
If your CD burn is unsuccessful and your external drive becomes unresponsive, turn the drive off and on to reset it.
Some CD-RW drives don’t work with iTunes. After you choose File > Burn Playlist to Disc, if your drive is shown next to CD Burner, it works with iTunes. If your drive isn’t shown, it might not be supported or the correct drivers might not be installed. To install the appropriate drivers, reinstall iTunes.

    You can't. Make sure you have security/firewall set on your router. If you are using your iPad in a free wifi location (ie like Starbucks) it's possible for someone to intercept your wifi activity.

  • How to move media and librar[ies] to external hard drive, when 'Keep organized' de-selcted

    Newbie to mac, sorry for being so dense. I am  nervous about my understanding of iTunes and from the many posts I’ve read realize how easily I could screw this up.  Can someone point me to step by step directions for moving the actual media ‘files’, ie the mp3s, as well as the necessary library files, to an external drive, when ‘keep media organized’ and ‘copy files to media folder’ are NOT SELECTED?   
    I am running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10 [and prefer a solution which does not require updating software …so far that never goes well for me. (:
    For myriad reasons, I prefer to maintain my own customized  folder and file structure for my mp3s; and have therefore de-selected
    1] Keep iTUnes Media folder organized  and 2] Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. 
    All the directions in the various posts seem to require selecting these options.  Is this critical for success?
    From the many posts I have read, it seems there’s more to it than just drag and drop, that I need to ensure that iTunes is ‘pointed’ to somewhere? Not the mp3s themselves, but to a ‘library” [is that yet another copy of the mp3s? somewhere on my hard drive?].
    Additionally, over the years I have moved about 45GB of mp3s to ‘storage’ external hard drives to create more space on my laptop. Not ideal interim solution.  I am again low on space and have decided to buy new external drive for holding all of my mp3s, ie the 45 GB in ‘storage’ and the remaining 75 GB from my laptop.  Ideally, I would like to also keep all my artwork, playlists and ratings and the like [which I guess are in the ‘libraries’???]
    Am I correct, that I will need to also move to the new external hard drive that folder which holds the .itl and .xml files and which is named ‘iTunes’???  and then there is another step to link the ‘media’ to the ‘library’ to ‘itunes’????
    Again, any clarification is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

    Unfortunately you have the worst possible situation for doing this.  If you let iTunes organize files you could simply let iTunes relocate them by consolidating in advanced preferences and it would all be done with a few minutes effort on your part with nothing getting lost.  Organizing your own media means when you move things to a different drive iTunes will lose track of many if not all the links.
    First, try simply dragging the whole iTunes folder to the external drive and start iTunes with the option/alt key held down.  Guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.  If you are lucky it will move as a package.  If you are not, the link locations will all be bad because it will still be looking for the files on the internal drive.  It may look like it is working but get info on a file or two and see if it is still referencing the file on the internal drive or if it is really using the external drive.
    When you move the files from the third drive to the new external I can almost guarantee you every single link will break.  Again because you do not let iTunes organize media you can't use iTunes' own repair link feature.  One solution will be to take the old .xml file and open it in a text editor.  Do a global replace of the old drive path with the path to the location of the files on the new drive.  Now if all your old links broke for the main library you will have to do this for both the main library on the new drive as well as the relocated files from the main drive.  Now this is really starting to get messy and I am going to fade at any minute now because it is getting late.  If you needed to do this for all files go ahead and create a new library using the option key method mentioned earlier, then import the .xml into the new library.  If you only need to edit the third drive files then remove any references to the old main library files in this edited .xml and import just the edited third drive file references.  See?  Isn't that all nice and clear?  Oh, realize that the .xml does not contain 100% of the information in the .itl (you cannot edit the .itl).  You will lose ratings, play count, date added.  Ratings and play count can be saved using other tricks which would take about as much typing as I have done already so I won't go there unless they are absolutely critical to you.

    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • TS3899 How do I check to see if the problem resides on the server (e.g., the mail server is not responding) rather than assuming the issue is with my phone and devise setup?

    As of sometime after September 10, 2012, at 4:40PM, I have not been receiving any mail.  Not on my iPhone, iPad, iMac, or MacBookPro.  The trouble shooting help on Apple's web site is designed to help ensure my devise settings are accurate.  However, I moved from .Mac to .me and now to .cloud and have operating with no issues for several months on the iCloud.
    How can I check to see if my mail problem is really Apple's fault rather than double checking all my devise settings ad nausiam?  I feel there is a server issue with Apple because none of my devises can receive mail, however, I do not know how to validate my theory with Apple.  I get an error message telling me:
    Cannot Get Mail
    The connection to the server failed.
    Apple says there is a mail server problem affecting 1% of users.  However, am I one of the 1%?  If I assume I am, wait for the problem to be fixed, and then learn I was not one of the 1% and continue to have mail issues, then I will be more frustrated.

    I have the same problem since yesterday morning. I checked the systems status and still the same. I guess we are the 1.1% who has problem with their email.

    If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone.  If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased.  No way around this.

  • I am new to mac, but i keep reading about Mountain lion.  I just bought my Mac book Pro less then a month ago.  my current software is OS X 10.8.2, Do i already have mountain lion?  How do I check to see?

    I am new to mac, but i keep reading about Mountain lion.  I just bought my Mac book Pro less then a month ago.  my current software is OS X 10.8.2, Do i already have mountain lion?  How do I check to see?

    As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.

  • How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

    I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

    If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

    Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

    Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
    To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
    Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
    Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
    For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.

  • How can I check to see if my iPad is factory unlocked

    Hi, I'm having problem using a sim in my iPad when there is no Wi-Fi. I have been told that iPads lock to the first sim that is installed. As I have now changed my network provider, could this be the reason my new sim does not work?
    If this is the case, how can I check to see if the iPad is still unlocked, as I do not have another sim card to try. More importantly, How do I unlock my iPad???
    Thanks for your help
    RM

    The only iPads that are unlocked (for use in the US) are iPads that shipped with the Apple Sim card.  I believe that is the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini with Retina.  The other iPads are locked to the carrier they were purchased for use with, and that cannot be changed.  The only exception would be in using a sim card in another country. 
    If it is an AT&T iPad, you have to use AT&T.  Same for Sprint, Verizon & T-Mobile.
