I can't burn a music disk

iTunes will not burn a music disk. it starts to burn 1 or 2 tracks then stops and kicks the disk out.

OK, some more questions:
What kind of Mac do you have?
Are you using the built in CD/DVD drive?
What Disk Format do you want to burn: "Audio CD", "MP3 CD" or "Data CD"?
Is the CD (after iTunes ejects the disk) readable or not?
In any case you could try reducing the "Preferred Speed" in the "Burn Settings" dialog box down to maybe "8x".

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

How can I "burn" a music DVD on my I-Mac?

How can I burn a music DVD on my I-Mac to play in my auto DVD/CD player?

I answered your question in your other thread:

There is no way to do it in iTunes that I know of - you can only burn CDs there. You do need other software to burn to a music DVD.

WHAT?!! Can't burn ITunes Music Store Files?

Itunes tells me I can't burn a CD of songs that I paid for to a CD.
The support page says I can.
The songs are authorized, they play on my computer.
Anyone know the problem? Or have I made a mistake buying music off of Itunes?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

So what does one do?
1) Select iTunes in the menubar.
2) Select "Preferences".
3) When dialog appears, click on "Advanced" at the top.
4) Click on "Burning".
5) Select "Disc Format: Audio CD".
6) Burn a new disk.
That should give you an regular audio CD that you can listen to on your stereo. Also, make sure that you are burning a CD-R and not a CD-RW. Many stereos can't read CD-RW's.

Can Burn Ripped Music, Can't Burn Purchased Music

Help!!
Ever since installing 7.0.2 I can no longer burn purchased music to CD. Music I ripped from my own CDs burns just fine.
Data from desktop burns fine as well as music from other programs such as sonic and Windows Media Player. Actually iTunes worked fine until I upgraded to 7.0.2 from 6
I'm thinking ther must be some kind of problem with the protected MPEG4 that apple is using that is messing up CD burning
I have downloaded latest firmware, updated drivers, re installed IDE/ATA, Reinstalled iTunes, Re installed CD burner, tried every burn speed from fastest down to 1x, Turned off spam & spyware, turned off firewall, turned off virus prtection made, Made sure IMAP CD settings are set to automatic and started.
Nothing works. I'm at my wits end and getting very frustrated because I have hundreds of dollars of purchased music that is now stuck on my computer and won't burn.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

I don't understand, we buy this music for a buck a piece, and then when you want to make an mp3 cd to play in your car, like i have( i can make one cd with 150 songs)or what ever , we can't even do that. I also have an ipod but i don't bring it into my car all the time. I thought that because we are buying the music and technically we own them, that we can use the music which ever way that you want. And now we have to buy a converter if we want to make mp3 cd's. I have resorted to spending my money on cd's to make cd's of my protected files, just to rip them back on my computer again as an mp3 song, remove the protected songs, and all this to do what i thought we could do with our purchases music because, oh i don't know, call me crazy, we were able to before!!! All i now see is that we have to spend money to get our music to spend money to change our music to use it the way we want to, to spend our money to make our own cd's. The operative words, spending our money. Does anyone find this absolutely rediculous? Anyone ever hear the phrase "Don't fix it if it ain't broke"? Anyone else frustrated?

ITunes freezes when I try to burn a music disk

A couple of weeks ago I was able to burn a disk just fine, but now every time I try burning a disk iTunes freezes after checking the playlist to make sure the files will fit on the CD.
I'm trying to make a mix for my sister's birthday and have very limited time. Any information will help.

.dmg vs. .img--can't burn .img in Disk Utilities

I know I've created .dmg files using iDVD before, but for some reason my last project created a .img file, an NDIF disk image, which I cannot use to burn DVDs from Disk Utiliity.
Is this because I'm using an archived DVD project? When I go to File/Save as Disk Image, it defaults to a .img file. TIA.

A .dmg file is created when you use a previously burned DVD disk to create the new image.
A .img file is create when iDVD creates a disk image file from an iDVD project.
You can use either one to burn to a DVD disk with Disk Utility. I have many saved disk images from both projects and disks and have burned each to a DVD disk without any problem.
Have you tried doing a burn to disk in DU? Did you use a good brand of DVD-R disk like Verbatim or Maxell?
And did you use a slow burn speed of 4x or less?
You should be able to do this easily.

Can't burn albums to disk

The Share/burn option seems to have disappeared. Burning a disk through export works, but the files lose information and need to be reimported into iPhoto library in order to view them (i.e. nothing seems to show up on the source list when such a disk is inserted).

What information is being lost? If you export with Kind = Original all of the EXIF data will be intact.
If you exoprt as Kind = JPEG with the check boxes checked to include Keywords, Titles and Location information you will retain those as well as the Description.

Can I burn Blue Ray Disk?

I would like to buy an external Blu Ray Burner. Can I use iDVD to burn Blue Ray. I have the latest iMac 7Cor. Thank You.

iDVD only authors/burns DVD discs. For Blu-ray you'll need Toast or Adobe Encore.

Can't Burn Dual Layer Disk

I have a project in Encore CS6 that I have been trying to burn to a dual layer disk using an external LG Dual Layer Burner. It is connected to by computer via USB. My Computer Specs are as follows:
ASUS X53Z Series
Windows Edition: Windows 7 Home Premium - Service Pack 1
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.50 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 6.00GB (5.48 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System
It is a laptop computer.
I have already looked for a solution to this problem, and the only thing I found was that I should click "run as administrator," so I tried that, but it didn't help. When I am burning the disk, it freezes right after the transcoding process. It goes into the writing process and it freezes at 167.94 KB out of 555.35 MB (this is only a test disk, so it's still small at the moment). I know that I am following all the menu limits (etc.), because I was able to burn a single layer DVD, but when I put the movie onto the disk, I will need it to be a Dual Layer DVD. Do you have any suggestions?

As a test... Create a DVD output ISO file and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

Re: Equium A210-171 - How can I burn a Recovery disk

I have a Equium A210-171 and I believe there is and onboard recovery to bring back to factory settings.
Could someone please help be in how I can do this or burn the onboard to cd. or even where I can get the cd from.
Cheers

If you didnt get recovery DVD and if you have HDDRecovery folder on second partition, that means your notebook is delivered with HDD image only.
You can create recovery media using Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut should be placed on the desktop.
I have done this several times on different models successfully using all the time Verbatim or TDK DVD-R media.

Can't burn Blu-ray disk image because get error message, "The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1012.) What does it mean?

There was an error creating your disk image. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1012)

I don't have a background image. I called Apple and they had no idea what that error number meant. I deleted preferences for FCPX still didn't work, then delted all preferences and set up a new user. It now works. Apple has no idea what is going on.

Can't burn CDRW for BootCamp drivers disk. Error code 0x000003E8

I know I previously burned the bootcamp drivers on this MacBook. Now I've upgraded Bootcamp to the latest beta today (1.2) I can't burn the drivers disk! I have gone through 3 different CDRWs and they all fail! (I started with erasing the older drivers CDRW and the erase went fine.., then reburned it and it failed so I pulled out two never used CDRWs and they both failed too!)
Here is the very cryptic message I get:
Burn Failed
The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857 drive failed. 0x000003E8
Has my drive died? Could three CDRWs in a row all be bad? They are 4x-12x rated Philips. The bootcamp software showed it was trying to burn at 10x speed (but it was greyed out so I couldn't change the speed to anything slower).. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?

Well, trying CD-Rs will not really solve the error because as I discovered, the RWs that Boot Camp told me failed to burn actually burned just fine! I discovered before trying to reerase them and try burning them with a different application that the contents were all proper and in tact. It is Boot Camp's error. I am going to mark this as solved and leave feedback for the Boot Camp team about the error. Thanks for your input.
