I am unable to burn a playlist in iTunes 10

I try to burn a playlist from iTunes10 I keep getting a media read error and the disk appears to be half burned. I can create a burn folder on my desktop and burn the cd with no problems. This problem started two updates ago. I have tried using an external cd burner as well as the cd burner in my iMac, but get the same message. It only happens when trying to burn a cd in iTunes. Unfortunatly my car stereo will not play an mp3 disk, so I need to create the audio cd in iTunes

Unable to burn a playlist to CD: Error 4310!

I have Windows 8.1 running on a new Dell Inspiron 14R. After purchasing the computer, I downloaded and installed iTunes version 11.3.1.2. I was able to import my music and playlists into iTunes successfully. However, I am unable to burn playlists to CDs through iTunes. I repeatedly get the "unknown error 4310" as soon after I press "Burn Playlist to CD." iTunes recognizes that the CD is blank when I insert it, but then cancels the burn immediately after it starts.
I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions above, especially including:
Verifying that the CD burner works -- I successfully burned an Audio CD using Windows Media Player. So, the burner works just fine!
Changing the burn speed to a lower speed
Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
Updating the drivers on my computer
This is very frustrating! Please help!

try this...
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

How can I burn a playlist in iTunes in the order that I have them? It changes them to alphabetical

I would consult the documentation of the mp4 player then.

Why can't I burn a playlist in iTunes ver 11.0.4?

Why can't I burn a playlist with iTunes ver 11.0.4? I've done almost everything that I know except try the old ver 9.x.x, which nobody can find! Apple is no longer as good as when their mater was alive!!

Can you explain why it did not help?
Can you select a playlist?
Can you right click on a playlist name?
Does a menu pop up when you right click on a playlist?
Do you see Burn playlist to disc when you right click on a playlist?
Are you told to put a disc into the disc drive?

I'm unable to burn a playlist to a CD. I get a message saying there is no burning software in my computer.

When I try to burn a playlist, iTunes tells me there is no burning software in my computer. My computer crashed back in August and I'm still trying to recover lost files/data etc. I have downloaded burning software but eveidently it's not liked by iTunes. What burning software/drivers, etc. is acceptable to iTunes?

Why can't I burn a playlist in iTunes?

This is the first time I've tried to burn an iTunes playlist (of songs I ripped myself) onto a CD since I updated to iTunes v. 7.4.2
Intializing begins on the blank disc, then seconds later I get this error message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media"
I can still burn discs from the Finder with no problem, so I doubt that my drive is faulty.
I found a bizarre work around on another bulletin board somewhere.
It is: Go to System Preferences->International->Language
Drag any other language besides English to the top of the list. Then drag English back to the top of the list. Then restart.
After doing this, I was able to burn a CD in iTunes. But, only the one CD. Now I still get the same error message.
My info: 733MHz G4 PowerPC running Tiger 10.4.10 iTunes v. 7.4.2 Using blank Memorex CD-Rs

It's not the discs.
I can drag the MP3s from a playlist in iTunes that won't burn onto my desktop and burn them to a disc just fine in the Finder.

Ever since the last download, I am unable to edit my playlists on itunes. When my phone is not plugged in, my playlists that are on my phone are not on itunes but my songs are. Only the default playlists show up. How can I get all of my playlists back?

I usually create and edit playlists on itunes and then sync my phone to update my phone. Ever since the last upgrade, I can't do this. When I open itunes, my playlists are not there, only the songs and the default playlists. If I plug my phone in and click on My Phone at the top of the screen, I can see my playlists but I can't edit them. How can I get my playlists that are on my phone back on my itunes?

After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them. When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in. Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing. So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it. Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

Unable to burn a cd from itunes

I just purchased a cd from itunes and tried to burn a disk from itunes and it says - "checking media"......never gets past that message - any clues? Thanks

nevermind

Can't burn a playlist in iTunes 9.0.1 (9)

Have created a playlist and when I try to burn it to a music CD, I get the burn settings dialogue box as normal. If I press burn I get the dialogue box explaining that multiple CDs are required, as again per normal for a playlist too big for one CD. When I then press "Audio CDs", nothing happens, no error message, nothing.
The Playlist does contain protected iTunes Store purchases, but other playlists I have that also have these types of tracks are still burning fine.
Only relevant thing I can think of is that it's the first Playlist I've created since installing iTunes 9.
Any ideas?

Matt -
I'm experiencing a similar problem. Shortly after updating the new iTunes 9, I can no longer burn any of my playlists to CD's of any kind. I have gone as far as calling Apple to ask for help, in which they made me a case # , and told me to restart my computer in the meantime, which did nothing. I was thinking of un-installing iTunes 9? But was sincerely worried that by uninstalling or deleting this would cause my ENTIRE iTunes to become depleted. I am looking for some answers to the error message "Attempt to burn a disc failed. Unable to recover/load the disc properly. Retry".
