Then this comes up
You have inserted a blank DVD but originally selected a CD format. Are you sure you wish to create a data DVD instead?
And it will not let me burn pls help. Annoying

You are positive you put in a CD?  You have tried another one?
You have restarted the computer?
How old is this drive?

  • I can not burn CD's with my Itunes anymore. It tells  me I am missing CD burner and to re download ITunes. I have done that and it stills does not work. Every time I try, Disc Recorder not found keeps coming up! Please someone help me!!!

    I can not burn a CD with my itunes anymore. It tells me to re download itunes. I have done that and still have the same problem. When I do try, Missing disc recorder keeps coming up. Please help!!!!

    Hello again, Stew.
    Also when I open itunes it gives me a warning and says "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importingand burning cd's and dvds are missing. Please reinstall itunes."
    With that one let's first try a reboot and repair.
    Reboot the PC (very important), and the do a *repair install* of iTunes.
    Go to your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch without the error message now?
    If no luck there, try checking for a device filter conflict in your registry:

  • Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

    Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
    The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
    Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
    Many thanks !

  • After updating my 3gs to ios 5.0.1, I can not restore my phone from my pc. It says session failed. It appears to be a backup available.

    After updating my 3gs to ios5.0.1, I can not restore my phone. It says session failed after about 20 seconds. It appears to be a restore point available. What should I do?

    Hi all,
    I work for an Enterprise with around 30 devices so far, 5 of them have been upgraded to iOS 5.01 and we are having this issue, the steps below are appearing, these are both on iphone and ipad 2's with exchange 2003:-
    - Exchange Calendars not sync'ing, but Yahoo account working fine.
    - Create an appointment on the ipad / iphone and this sync's with Exchange.
    - Close the Calendar and re-open the appointment disappears, but stay's within Exchange.
    - Meetings created within the Exchange Calendar do not synch with the iphone / ipad.
    This is starting to cause a lot of issues.
    Thanks

  • I have downloaded FF 5.0 to my laptop and now can't access e-mail from my ISP TalkTalk, which says I have "undefined emails available", although accessing TalkTalk via my PC running FF4 is still OK.

    I originally upgraded from FF4 when offered. When this email problem appeared, I uninstalled all FF completely and then downloaded again. Same result.

    Also note that I can access via IE and via FF4 on a separate PC. Has anyone got an answer?

  • Since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) - i can not burn Data-DVDs anymore...

    System: iMac G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.5, 4x SuperDrive (SONY DVD RW DW-U10A)
    Dear Apple Support,
    since Mac OS X 10.4.4 (same with 10.4.5) i can not burn a Data DVD-RW anymore. It is so annoying. I want to burn my backup on a DVD-RW with the Burn Folders in Mac OS X. it is not possible.
    The Finder burn dialog hangs at the "ending burning process". It is so annoying.
    It's not possible to erase this "half burned" DVD-RW too! So I have here a lot of destroyed DVD-RWs around me...
    The burning of DVD-RWs is a problem since 10.4.0 here on my machine. With 10.4.3 it was half o.k. ... But since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) nothing works anymore.
    Your product "Mac OS X Tiger" is nearly one year in the market. And burning a Data-DVD is not a exotical thing. It is a essential feature of a Operating System today. So what are you doing in your Test-Labs?
    I am sitting here since 1 year with an Operating System from Apple an it doesn't works in the essential features.
    Whats about your slogan "It just works"?
    What happens with the quality of Apple?
    Under 10.3.9 Panther i can burn everything. It absolutly no problem there.
    So i don't understand what are you doing with Tiger?
    It's so annoying!
    Regards

  • New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk.

    New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk. The 'checking playlist' now takes about one second, looks very much like a malfunction here. Seems to initialize the disk - them moves straight into 'burning/finalizing disk' which also takes about one second. Then 'burning - finishing disk takes a little longer -
    Error reading is "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disk drive didn't respond properly an can't recover.'
    This happend once before a while back and I thought it was 'too skinny disks'. Using 'printable disks; seemed to fix the problem - until now.
    Blank cd's can  be opened in the finder and files burnt to them.
    DVD's can be burned from DVD Pro.
    Music cd's and dvd's can be played.
    Just can't burn the itunes playlist.

    From your iMac? OS 10.9.2? iTunes? Other? please give as much info as you can about your system hardware and peripherals, OS, software, etc. Is this misbehavior new? First try? You get the idea, too much info is not possible.

  • I can not burn dvds anylonger with my MacPro. Why ?

    Hi everyone. I already posted this message in another thread but got no useful replies.
    Configuration: MacPro Early 2008, MacOSX 10.6.8
    I can not burn dvds anymore and do not know why. I can play dvds and cds though!
    The following is the usual error message displaying after clicking the button burn :
    I have run Disk Utility from the Install cd of Snow Leopard and the small things which needed repairs have been repaired.
    I have reset the PRAM and the SMC (System Management Controller). Nothing.
    I have set up a new user account with admin privileges but it did not work.
    Please, note that I am trying to burn the same Kodak Pro dvds for photo and data archival that I burned in the past in the same MacPro.
    I am actually burning my dvds using my MacBook Pro connected with my MacPro through Airport but it's a very slow process, of course.
    Any piece of advice ?
    Thank you !
    Paolo

  • I still can not burn my music ...Not Happy!

    I have been there done that and I am getting NO WHERE?  I can not burn my music still I have been through several disks, and have tried all trouble shooting suggested by iTunes.  I have had my Dell Support tech team run all dianostics , update all my drivers, ect...  My other media software burns just fine.
    This all started about 1 month ago while I was in the itunes store and received a prompt to upgrade my itunes, I did the upgrade and have not been able to burn "My Music" I bought from itunes.  This is a shame that the itune support team can not find a fix to their customers needs!  I have spent hours on this problem!!
    Does anyone out there know of another Music site that I can join?  Make sure to send a support email to the itunes support team...  I am going to ask for my money back for my music and move on from this whole apple/itunes BS real soon!  There Customer Support  is good for nothing and does not seem to care,,,isn't it strange how apple phone support does not support itunes!  They are going to lose a lot of customers and money...I don't get it??
    Does anyone get it??

    Same here. I have a jailbroken iPhone 3G running on 4.0.1 and iTunes 9.2.1 - iTunes tells me the phone is syncing. The phone says "Sync in Progress" but after it is done, zilt! nothing! nada!
    Has anyone with the same configs figured out a solution?
    Thanks

  • Can not burn a Blu-ray disc

    The problem: Can not burn a Blu-ray disc.
    I open Premiere Elements 12 and load my project and then go to “publish and share” my project, I select "create Disc – Burn DVD, Blu-ray and AVCHD disc", I select "Blu-ray", the disc location and settings box opens and the “status” setting indicates "Media not present”.  I know the Pioneer Blu-ray BDR-2208 drive works properly because I have already published regular DVDs in it and had no problems.  I thought perhaps it was a problem with the initializing of the disc whether you choose (Mastered) as opposed to (Live File System). Neither works. I tired Phillips BD-R disc & Memorex BD-RE disc, neither works.  The only thing I noticed was the burner location setting is indicating a Pioneer BDR-208M burner rather than a Pioneer BDR-2208 burner. Could this be the problem? Remember that burner will burn regular DVD's.  Does Premiere Elements 12 require some other additional software on my computer to burn a Blu-ray disc?  Also is there a list of compatible Blu-ray burners? BTW I am using Windows 8.1.

    Attached is a screenshot of the dialog box that opens up when I place a regular DVD or Blu-ray in my desktop computer.
    In order for me to burn a DVD project in premiere elements if I do not initialize the disc with the above procedure I receive a media not present in the settings box of premiere elements.  I assumed I have to do the same thing with a Blu-ray too.  I've tried following this procedure, also tried using the live file system.  Also tried putting a fresh disc in without doing anything to it and always receive the media not present in the status setting.  One suggestion has been that another program is interfering with premiere elements.  I will also go out and purchase some Verbatim BD-RE disc, whether they work right now or not I can always use them later after I solve my problem.
    I Have a lot of great suggestions from you guys and I really appreciate it.  I'm going to work on some of those today starting with loading imgburn and see if I can indeed burn a Blu-ray disc with my system.  I have already created a AVCHD BDMV file on my computer and I will start with trying to work with that and see if that is successful and then come back to premiere elements.  I appreciate the input regarding Cyberlink software.  I have version 8 (came with my Pioneer Blu-ray Drive) and was thinking about upgrading to the latest version but with your input regarding Power Producer I will save my money.
    Another thought I had, with Blu-ray disc burners being as cheap as they are purchase one that has been proven to work with premiere elements 12.1.  Time is money, the cost of a new Blu-ray burner is insignificant.  I will consider this option later.

  • Can't burn a CD from iPhoto to finder

    I can't burn a CD from Iphoto to finder or from dropping the files into a folder on desktop ? The apple specialist couldn't do it either, what do I do?

    Could you please describe what you - and the Apple person - did, and what happened.
    The procedure I use is 1. with Finder active, click File and select New Burn folder. That produces this on my desktop.
    2. Next I drag and drop the files I want to burn to that folder.
    3. Then I select the folder, go back to File in the menu bar and select Burn... to disc.
    After the burn is done I trash the Burn Folder (its contents are aliases).
    Is that the procedure that did not work?

  • Can't burn a cd from elements 9  any ideas?

    Can't burn a cd from elements 9  any ideas?
    The problem seems to be that it will not display my devices for selection,

    On a mac you can send the photos to imovie, iphoto, or iDVD if you have that. The only kind of video disc PSE can make (on either platform) is the horrible VCD format, which was never very good and is fast becoming obsolete. It's getting harder to find dvd players that can read that format.

  • Can't burn a CD from playlist I have reduced speed to 2 but can only burn part of playlist and a medium error occurs

    Can't burn a CD from I tunes playlist, I have tried reducing speed to 2 but it will only record 11 of 19 tracks and it abort with a "medium Write error" message.
    I have tried changing CDs but this doesn't make any difference.

    From posts I've read all around the Internet, there does not seem to be a simple solution. The word "Medium" refers to Media (CD,DVD) So logically you'd think trying another brand CD would work, but you've tried that. Another alleged fix is reducing the write speed, and you've done that.
    Other fixes that worked for a few people were cleaning the optical drive with a cleaning CD or gently spaying compressed air into the slot to clean out any dust buildup.
    Searching these Forums will find a few threads on the topic (search "medium write error in iTunes")
    Googling the same search criteria brings up a whole page.
