I can no longer burn a CD that will play in my vehicle

Last week I had no problem compiling a playlist and burning it to CD. This week Itunes keeps burning the CD version that only allows song transfers to another computer. I have no other options. I downloaded the new version hoping it would help and it didn't. I lost most of my CD's to Katrina but luckily (or so I thought) I had most of my favorite songs in Itune. Now my whole music collection is being held hostage! Help!

I'm using iTunes 11.1.1 on a Mac mini running OS 10.7.5 and I burn CDs which play in this machine's external optical drive, my car, and the Pioneer audio CD players downstairs.  I typically use Verbatim recordble CDs. After selecting the playlist I want to burn, I make sure that "Audio CD" is selected - this has always been the default for me.  If this isn't working for you, I don't know what to say - but I'd suspect the drive you're using to burn CDs is getting wonky.
Good luck

  • HT1529 The latest version of iTunes has completely changed my ability to access my iTunes.  I can no longer burn a CD that will play on anything other than another computer.

    The latest version of iTunes has completely changed the format and also why will it not allow me to burn a CD compatible with other devices?

  • DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or comparable program?

    DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or a comparable software available? Or are there some internal fixes that I have not found.  Preferences that will allow a clean product to be delivered?

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  I first import all my assets, build my DVD, which may include one or more menus, pictures, music, etc. I use the simulator to test all aspects of video before burning.  Making sure that the end jump works, if I add chapters, going to each chapter making sure buttons and end jumps for the chapters work.  When I am satisfied I then go to burn/format function and delete or reuse any folders that the computer advises.  The resolution is SD, display mode 16.9, Lossless linking, red laser, single, one side 12 cm.  Thats about it.  Haven't had a problem in the past just wondering what I could be doing wrong now. I am workingo on an imac, MAC OS X, 10.7.4, 2.93 GHz, Intel Core 17, Memory 8GB, 133mHz,DDR3.
    Response I get is, unknown disc, please check disc again."

  • My Theme disappears from the DVD after I burn it on to a disc. I know it's there but my DVD player doesn't "see" it. How do I burn an iDVD that will play the theme?

    It sure is. It also plays on my PC using VLC Player. So, I know that it was burned onto the DVD.

  • After upgrade to Itunes 7 I can no longer burn cd's that work

    I used to burn cd's just fine until I upgraded to itunes 7, now no cd works in my car or any other cd player when I burn cd's with Itunes. The show up on my Mac but are not recognized in other areas. I have the lastest updates for all other software. Please advise. I wish I could go back to the old itunes I never had this trouble before. thanks
    Berni

    yes I have. I have tried to burn a mp3 and a regular audio cd. I used to never have a problem until the upgrade. I can play them on my mac G5 and laptop and at work on my pc computer. But when I put them in my car cd player they don
    t work. I have not changed the type of cd's and they used to allways work before. How do I go back to the old version of Itunes? If this can't be fixed I think I will have to find another application to burn cd's for my car. I read here that I am not the only one with this problem.
    If anyone has this solution please post. Apple?

  • How can I publish as an exe that will play in Windows 98?

    I work in the art department of a documentary series and I have a Dell Iinspiron 3200 running Windows 98 (with Flashplayer 9) that I need to use to run animations that I made on a seperate machine running CS5. How should I publish them so that they can be played on the laptop? When I bring the files over, they are recognized as flash applications (the icon is right) but trying to play them results in two errors: "(directory) file expects a newer version of windows. Upgrade your Windows version" and "(directory) a device attached to the system is not functioning"
    I have tried publishing as version 9, but the fies still won't run, and examining the properties of them reveals a file version of 10.1.
    How can I get this to work?
    Thanks in advance

    PS: Further investigation has brought up the possibility that it may work better if I rewrote it in as2. Apparently as3 may not be able to write back to older versions...can anyone perhaps confirm or refute that before I restart the project?

  • How can I get high quality video that will play on my Touch as well as ATV?

    Within iMovie there are output settings for the iPod and for the Apple TV. Now I fully understand the video resolution restrictions of the iPod Touch, so I am happy using a widescreen resolution of 640x360 ("Medium" output setting). What I am not happy about is the quality of the Medium setting, which iMovie states is 1.7Mbps. The results are rather blocky to say the least. In comparison, I can output the same movie as "Large", with a res of 960x540 and a bitrate of 4Mbps, and it comes out a little soft, but the blocky artefacts have all but vanished. Unfortunately, of course, the iPod Touch won't play a video with this resolution. I have tried "Export using Quicktime" and can get good quality results. However, the video (although H.264 and 640x360) ends up NOT being compatible with my iPod Touch.
    Basically, how can I output a video of 640x360 that is of the quality I want, and that also plays on my iPod Touch? If the "Export using Quicktime" can be used to achieve this, what are the settings to use?
    Thanks.

    But why shouldn't I be able to have one video to suit both. I am happy with the resolution of 640x360, even on my ATV.
    You can. Unfortunately, your desire for both a data rate greater than 1.7 Mbps (H.264/AAC compression) and the ability to play them on an iPhone/Touch/iPod is mutually exclusive at this time. Thus, you will either have to make different files targeted for different data rates for maximum quality on each device or you make a single file using the maximum allowed data rate for playback on the "slower" device and accept the quality it produces on whichever device you are currently using. If all you want is a higher data rate, use the MPEG4 Simple Profile which allows data rates up to 2.5 Mbps. Just remember that the H.264 codec is about 2.0-2.5 times as efficient and is roughly equivalent to an MPEG-4 Simple Profile file with video encoded at 3.00-3.75 Mbps.

  • HT204266 How can you buy Temple Run app that will play on ios 4.2.1

    I'm trying to get Temple Run for my 9 year old son, but all the versions on i-Store seem to require ios 4.3 or later.  Is there any way to buy an earlier version compatible with ios 4.2.1?

    You are going to have to discuss this with the developer of Temple Run. He is the only one who can help you.
    Having said that the chances are slim of it being downgraded to such an old version on iOS.

  • How do I burn dvd that will play in dvd player

    How do I burn a DVD that will play in DVD player for my TV?  Example, iPhoto images, Utube images, etc.

    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • How to Best Create a DVD that will play on BOTH Mac and Windows

    Hello - Looking for some direction. How can I create an iDVD DVD that will play on both Mac & Win? I can not find a solution that will accomplish this. What I did was create an .img then burned to DVD. This plays fine on my Mac & on home stereo DVD but not on a windows machine. The Windows machine can "read" the DVD fine but WIndows Media Player can not play it. Do I need to have folks use a special player on WIndows? Is there another format the I should have iDVD output? I need to send some DVDs to college coaches for my son and am trying to do this the best way without knowing what platform (Mac or WIn) they will be using. What is the best approach?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    David

    Hi
    There are two ways to burn a DVD.
    • as a Data-DVD (eg including a video.img file or any data)
    • as a Video-DVD
    A. Data DVD is what You creat by just popping in a DVD disk and OK to format it.
    B. Video-DVD - You make from within iDVD and insert thed DVD WHEN iDVD asks for it
    (OR - Via Disk Util tool - Still introduced when asked to do it !)
    (or via Roxio Toast™ - STILL not inserted until asked to do this)
    So what You've done is a Data-DVD with Your movie as an .img file on it.
    • Can only be playbacked on Your Mac
    Open "Disk Util tool"
    Then on Dasktop - Double click the .img file so that it creates a fake DVD disk
    Then in "Disk Util tool" - select it and click the Burn (Nuclear) button
    THEN insert a new DVD WHEN asked to do this.
    NOW ! ! Select a lower Burn Speed eg 4xDVD - This will result in a DVD with few burn errors and
    a PC will read it easier !
    Use of quality DVD brand is also important - I use Verbatim
    I use DVD-R
    Good Luck - Bengt W

  • How do I move my iMovie movie onto a dvd that will play in a dvd player w/o idvd?

    This is urgent!! please hep if you can. My computer doesn't seem tohave idvd, but i really need to burn a dvd that will play on a regular dvd player

    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)
    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.
    Free solutions:
    Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
    Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
    (very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

  • I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info.  Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song.  No Audio CD it seems to function OK.  The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

    I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc.  It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit.  Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info.  Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD.  On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up.  The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference.  In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data.  I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
    Any Thoughts?

    This may help.  Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder.  These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation.  Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
    Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have.  What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive)  Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
    Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3  As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck.  And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck.  I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
    So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier.  Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
    Hope this helps ~rich

  • Upgraded to v. 6.0.1, can no longer burn CDs.  Details below.  Please help!

    Like many other users, I can no longer burn CDs since my recent upgrade to version 6.0.1. I was able to burn CDs with no problems before this upgrade, but now when I click "Burn Disc", iTunes freezes with no error message. I have to exit out using Ctrl-Alt-Del, as iTunes is not responding.

    Try updating your drives firmware. Click 'Firware Updates' on the right hand side of this page, then follow the instructions and download the update, then install. See if that helps. Its worth updating the firmware anyway :P

  • Can no longer burn data to CD disks

    Message appears "The drive reported an error Sense Key = Hardware error sense code = 0x44, 0xD6 INTERNAL TARGET FAILURE
    SINCE I INSTALLED MAVERICKS, CAN NO LONGER BURN DISKS. I had Toast 10.4 and was persuaded to upgrade to 10.09. When I downloaded and replaced my Toast folder in apps I got a message saying "unlicensed vendor" go to app store. An inferior product was on sale for £13,99.
    What is going on here. Once again I am confronted by Apple "dis-abling technology. Why could I not get an upgrade from Roxio?

    You have always been able to burn even copy protected tracks to an Audio CD. That hasn't changed. All tracks sold on the iTunes Store now are DRM free. Track prices now range form .69 to 1.29 but the price is unrelated to copy protection.
    You may still be using the same brand/type of discs but are you still burning in the same format? When you select the playlist that you want to burn to a CD, then press "Burn CD", you get a dialog box that offers you options. Be sure you have "Audio CD" selected.
    If, what you're really trying to do is burn an MP3 cd, you'd first need to make sure that all of the tracks in the playlist are mp3s. If not, you'd need to convert them. You'd need to make sure that your import settings were set to mp3 by going into Preferences>General and pressing the Import Options button and selecting the desired mp3 settings. Then, you select the tracks you want to convert, and from the Advanced menu, choose Create mp3 version. Note: this creates a new mp3 track. It doesn't change the existing track. And, it doesn't work on protected tracks. Protected tracks, as noted above, can be burned to an Audio CD which you can then use as you would any other Audio CD.
    Best of luck.

  • Can no longer burn cds or re-install itunes

    For some reason I can no longer burn a cd from Itunes. When I try to re-install itunes i get this message: 1628 failed to complete installation. I also get this message everytime Itunes starts : Warning!
    The registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing . This can be a result of installing other cd burning software. Please re-install itunes.
    I am able however to import with no problems.
