I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.Every time it says failed due to media write error.I have tried different speeds.Can anyone help pls?

There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):

    I have been trying to share file between my Mac Book Air and PC Laptop.Sometimes my Mac sees the PC and tries to connect but every time the connection fails. It says server may not exisit or network problem. I have apparently no network problem. Thanks for any help you may provide

    hi,
    somewhere on the windows machineshould be something like "network setup wizard". exactly where it is and what it is called i cannot remember off the top of my head, windows help is actually slightly useful here, it should have a link to it.
    all the options checked on the mac are only what services the mac is offering to other machines, they have nothing to do with the services it can access (mostly...).
    oh yeah, to actually connect to the pc after you have turned its sharing on, use the finder, or, when it does not show the pc (this happens on and off, possibly a refresh problem apple...) choose go --> connect to server and enter smb://<pc's name or ip>
    to find the ip, the easiest way i think is
    start --> run --> cmd ->> ipconfig

    Nope. The video is restricted. To provide you with any information about how to get around the restriction is copyright infringement.

  • I have uninstalled everything on my laptop, removed all my files to my external device and my laptop is still incredibly slow when opening any of the adobe applications, can anyone help please?

    I have downloaded the adobe student suite and whenever I open any of the adobe applications my laptop is incredibly slow, I cannot use any other application at the same time and often have to force quit. I have taken all my files off my laptop and added to my external hardrive. Can anyone help please?

    What about other non-Adobe programs on the machine - do they also run slowly?
    What are your system specifications?  How do they match up to the system requirements for the software?

  • I'm on my 5th CD to burn disc (iTunes).  "Burn failed due to medium  write error.  What is that!?!!!

    I am attempting to burn a music list in iTunes.  I have done it many times before.  I am on my fifth CD for this list, and repeatedly have got a message that the CD "could not be burned because of a medium write error."  I've got that message previously, but after changing the blank disc to which I want to add the song list, it has always worked.  Not this time; several attempts.  What is this message telling me, if anything??

    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.

  • Having trouble dragging/dropping files from my MacAir to a shared drive window, when I try to drag/drop gets bounced out. Can anyone help with advice on how to drag/drop or otherwise copy files to a shared drive? thanks in advance

    I am having trouble dragging/dropping or otherwise copying files from my MacAir to a window for a shared drive.
    When I try to drag/drop, files get bounced out.
    Anyone know how to drag/drop in such a case, or otherwise copy files from MacAir to a shared drive (which I do  not believe is on a Mac, not sure if that matters).
    Any help much appreciated, thanks in advance

  • I am unable to change location for editing photos.  I tried the advanced drop down menu in iPhoto and have 2 locations for editing-iphoto and aperture.  I want to add photoshop.  Can anyone help? Thanks.

    i cannot change editing location from aperture to photoshop in iphoto.  i followed directions to advanced tab in iphoto and have 2 choices for editing photos-iphoto and aperture.  any suggestions on how to change the sites?  thanks.

    Not sure why you would have Aperture there as it's not an editor.
    To change, just select Aperture again, and this will give you the dialogue to change the choice.

  • HT1689 Downloaded song loses audio halfway during playback.  Can anyone help?

    I have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8.  I've just downloaded 2 songs from Itunes.   They seem to download okay.  When I try to play them, they're all okay until about a third of the way through and the audio stops.  the bar continues to move along, but no sound comes through.  I've tried deleting them from PURCHASED and re-downloading them.  Same thing happens.  Can anyone help?

    If they've re-downloaded in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Files converted automatically to Mp3 instead of mpeg when burned as audio files

    Cannot maintain mpeg music playlist files when burning using audio file burn mode

    They will be compressed to MP3 when published. It is always better to have an uncompressed file to start with, easier also to edit with audio software (Audition, Audacity) without quality loss. Be sure that it will be reduced largely when published. And please, don't shout.... why those big fonts?

  • Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

    Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
    The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
    Instructive documentation - not very good.
    Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
    Could use timer tracking of the record process.
    Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

    That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

  • How do I listen to mp3 audio files on my iPhone 4s?

    I have recently purchased and downloaded some mp3 audio files onto my personal computer.  I was able to transfer them to my itunes library.  I now want to listen to them on my iPhone 4s.  How do i do this?  If I go to the itunes store application, i can see all of my "purchases", and I can easily download those to my iphone.  But these particular audio files were not purchased from itunes.  So how do I get them to my iphone?  Thank you!!

    I also have purchased and downloaded an mp3 audio file (not from itunes) onto my macbook air.  I was able to transfer it to my itunes library.  I now want to listen to it on my iphone 4s.  How do I do this?  If i go to the itunes store application, i can see  my "purchase"  .   I emailed the mp3 (it went to a downloader automatically).  I couldn't open it in email to listen to it on my iphone 4s.  So I purchased  idownloader pro".  still cannot listen to them on my phone.  Isn't there a way to transfer them without physically connecting the mac to my iphone?  afraid to do this as I screwed up my files, etc doing this in the past!! Any suggestions???    Thank you!!

  • Assistance needed in trying to import MP3 audio file into Slide Show

    I get the following message when trying to import an MP3 audio file into a slideshow in Organizer 9 "The selected file can not be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor(codec) installed. I am pulling the file from my Itunes folder and I have not had problems with any other file I have downloaded from itunes and changed to an MP3 format.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I really want to use this song in a slideshow for my parents 50th Anniversary.

    Best GUESS is that DRM is getting in the way of the file being used outside of iTunes (DRM = Digital Rights Mgmt = Copy Protection)

  • How do you change a music file from quicktime to a mp3 audio file

    i dont know how to change my current music file from quicktime to a mp3 audio file, how do you do it?
    If you are using a "basic" Mac OS X v10.8.4 install/codec configuration then you can use iTunes to convert to MP3 audio. It has a built in MP3 encoder which you can set up as your default audio import/conversion compression format. Otherwise it depends on how you system's codec components are configured and/or what media applications you have installed.
