Hi "shawn1982",
You can't burn AAC tracks to an MP3 CD - you need to change your burn settings to Data CD/DVD in order to do this.
Hope this helps,

An't burn my playlist to disc, shows error 2131 I do?

I have problem with burning my playlist from iTunes to disc, it always shows error 2131, what is this error/

Usually that one is caused by outdated firmware on the DVD/CD drive (in particular, the TSST TS-L632H), but we'd better doublecheck first.

Unable to burn purchased music

Hi there.
Just downloaded the latest version of itunes today.
However....
Am getting a message when trying to burn purchased songs to a disc saying "None of the files can be burned to an mp3 disc".
I never had this problem before when had the older verison of itunes.
Is it because they are protected aac tracks, and if so is there anyway around this?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

There's newer firmware available from Samsung for that drive. (At least Rev SB01.)
This is a custom/home-built PC? If so, head directly to Samsung's support pages and download the newer firmware. Can you burn without the 2131 with the newer firmware in place?

I just got a New Mac pro--wanted to partition..DVD install disc says error.

I just got the new mac out of the box...Partitioned it and installed software. DVD 1 worked good..when it asked for dvd 2...it says error. I cleaned the DVD and tried it again. Same problem. I put it in my power mac to see if it would read it..and it does. Your thoughts?

i contacted apple..and they are sending me out a new DVD of disc 2. It was the internal drive i was using to install.

Will not burn cd's with i-tunes error 2131

I have a Dell Vostro 1500 with windows XP, and I receive the error code 2131 every time I try to burn a cd. I have tried downloading firmware from dell, but did not fix the problem. Any suggestions, maybe I did not get the correct link?

Try a different disc manufacture. I have good luck with Maxell.
And make sure the disc is free of smudges and finner prints so the optical disk can write data to it.

Hi, i have a lot of problems, artwork muddled and losing tracks, cannot download latest version of itunes, unable to burn onto disc.Can anyone help, i am not great with these things!!

Hi lots going wrong with my music library, artwork is muddled up and also losing tracks because of this, also unable to download latest version of itunes and finally i cannot burn my music to disc. i have an external hard drive and a fairly large library, around 30,000 on it. Any suggestions!!

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

Unable to burn DMG files to CDs on external USB2 disc burners?

Hello.
I am having difficulties burning 88.x MB DMG files to CDs (new CD-Rs and an old CD-RW) onto two different external USB2 disc burner drives (both have power AC connected: HP and LG Super brands). The new Mac Mini (no disc slot drive)'s updated 64-bit Mac OS X 10.7.4's Disk Utilities tries to burn and then fail right away or after a few seconds. The error says "Unable to burn 'whatever.dmg' (The disc drive did not respond properly and can't recover or retry." Nothing interesting in dmesg, but Disk Utility's logs had details: http://pastie.org/private/6tnqcnkwycr2yftp8gkzxw ...
I do see my drives' lights on during the burn. I can quick erase the old CD-RW fine. I can burn 538 MB from an 64-bit Windows 8 on my Acer AM3800 PC with the same discs and external burner drives without any problems. Also, I thought it was my USB cable extension, but it wasn't it. I don't use any USB hubs either. DMG files are fine too. I did notice copying from a CD to Mac Mini's local HDD was slow, but no failures.
What could be the problem? Is USB2 too slow or something? Thank you in advance.

Did you look at...
~/Library/Logs/DiscRecording.log
USB2 is slow, but not that slow, but have you tried reducing the burn speed?

To avoid these issues, you guessed it, you shouldn't delete the /tmp symbolic link from the Mac OS X volume.
If /tmp is missing, it's easy to make a new one by following these steps:
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
Recreate the missing /tmp link by using the Disk Utility application to repair permissions on your Mac OS X startup volume.
Might try Burn...

Unable to burn DVD with iMovie?

Am fairly dissapointed with Apple.
I have spent time today creating a short movie of photos of my 2 month old son.
When trying to share with iDVD I have realised that my iLife 11 doesn't come with this software and I can't download it!
I am therefore unable to burn my project to disc and feel I have wasted my time.
In my opinion this seriously reduces the usablility of iMovie.
Is there anyway I can burn the DVD without spending a shed load of cash on some third party software??
Thanks

I was also disappointed when I bought my Mac and it came without iWeb and iDVD.
For burning DVDs, I use a free app called Burn http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html.
You can't do fancy menus or anything that iDVD can, but at least you can get your iMovie Projects onto a DVD.
You have to export your project from iMovie and then drag the .m4v or .mov file that comes out onto Burn (Make sure the Video tab at the top is selected.
Of course, if you have a MacBook Air, you'll need an external optical drive capable of burning DVDs.

"write medium error" when trying to burn a music cd

i've tried a few different times to burn a cd on my itunes and the same thing happens every time: i insert a black disk and my computer begins to make a noise that sounds not unlike grinding. the progress bar at the top of the itunes box says it is checking the songs, then initializing the burn, which it does for a couple minutes. then it says it is finalizing the burn, and spits the cd back out at me. a message then pops up on the screen which tells me that the cd was unable to burn because of a "write medium error." any help in this area will be greatly appreciated.
p.s. i also tried downloading and installing the new itunes, as well as restarting my computer, all with the same effect.
p.p.s. i'm using a macbook pro.

seenabeena,
Same exact thing was happening to me and was very frustrating. I was able to burn anything on from my itunes and then for whatever reason I started experiencing the same issues you are having. Don't know why it made a difference but someone here suggested using different brand of CD's. Guess the cheaper CD's are harder to read when it comes to the laser calibration. This isn't a endorsement at all but seems I've been able to burn anything again on the "imation" brand CD blanks. I hope this helps. Also, make sure you don't burn at anything higher than 8X when you start.

Burning & playing music burned on dvd data disc

after i burn a regular cdr in audio mode and i play the newly burned disc, i can change the format of the screen/playback by editing/amending the screen and right clicking on "copy play order" and it saves the changed settings each time i insert that cdr.....but.....when i do the same thing and copy wave music files to a dvd in data mode, when i insert the dvd after it's burnt, itunes will let me change the screen format (ie; name, song, year, album, rating, beats per minute) but when i right click on the inserted dvd, it doesn't give me the option to "copy play order" so i can save it to the disc.......any way around this??

What I do not love is the Smartdrive being unable to correctly play music CDs (on this machine). I consistently get noise during the songs. I've tried many CDs, all the same.
why not rip the CD's (to _*Apple Lossless*_, for example), then add the files to iTunes and play them through iTunes ?
