I can't burn music, or get pass checking media

Sadly I've tried everything I know to get iTunes to burn a CD. I get the
playlist all set up, adjust the preferences, click on burn, then it opens
the CD tray, I put a blank CD-R in, then iTunes says it’s ‘Checking Media’
which it does for a few seconds, then it just stops - no error message or
anything. The little window that says ‘checking media’ just goes back to the
apple symbol and nothing happens. Any others ideas as to what i should do.
I'm just hoping that i'm not the only one with this issue. Thanks

What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to burn to disk via the iPhoto Share ➙ Burn menu? That produces a mini library on the disk that can be used only by a Mac running iPhoto.
If you want to burn just some image files to a data CD/DVD disk then follow Larry's recommended workflow.
What disk type and manufacturer are your using? What system and iPhoto version are you running? Have you run the OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test? When did the burning proiblem begin? If you can't burn a disk from the Finder then it's a hardware or system problem and not an iPhoto one.

Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.

Just purchased Adobe Element 10 and when I try to import music I get an "Add Media Error"

When I try to import music I get an "Add Media Error" error message "The importer reported a generic error"

Are you working with both iPhoto and Aperture at the same time? If you have to maintain several iPhoto libraries in addition to your Aperture library you would profit considerably from updating to Aperture 3.4.
Aperture and iPhoto now share a uniform library format and you can easily switch between both applications when viewing a photo library.
Aperture 3 can run with 4 GB RAM, but would be better with more. If your mac is not maxed out with 4GB, you should consider to add RAM, since you are running Mt. Lion. All other apps wil profit from more RAM too.
I cannot test the interaction between iPhoto 9.4 and Aperture 2, since I have only Aperture 3 installations.
I am a little reluctant because i have only 4 gig of ram and have read numerous negative reports.
There are many happy Aperture 3 users, but people are only posting here, when they are temporarily unhappy. So you will get a distorted view.
The new version is out for only a few days, and Apple has the first bugs to fix. I'd wait a little, if you can, until the next release is out.

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

How can I burn music from my iTunes library to CD, while still keeping the track info intact?

I made several CDs for a friend, but when my friend imported the disc into iTunes none of the track names showed up (it just said "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.) This is annoying because it was 8 CDs worth of music (over 150 songs!)
Is there a software or any tool I can use that will allow me to burn music for friends, while still keeping the track info intact?

Yes. Click on this link to purchase gift cards for your friends. They will get nice new tracks with all correct tags.

Itunes 7- Can't burn music to cd

Hello, I sincerely hope I can get some help. I've tried ALL of the tips on here to get iTunes 7 to burn the music I bought to a cd but I keep getting the "Disc Burner Or Software Not Found" error message.
I am able to burn music to cd using WMP 9, (and nero fast burn cd plug in) and when I go to the advanced tab in itunes it recognizes my burner drive.
Here is the diagnostics from itunes:
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Compaq Compaq PC
iTunes 7.1.1.5
CD Driver 2.0.6.1
CD Driver DLL 2.0.6.2

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.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I was able to burn from itunes before updating to 7, I have tried the itunes fix, I have uninstalled and re-installed itunes, I have uninstalled Nero in case there was a conflict there but nothing works.
Thank you for reading and have a great day.

I've seen post in the past about updating your drivers & firmware fixing this...unfortunately I don't know a lot about that. Hopefully this will push your post up in the list & someone elase can chime in...or you can search the discussion and find more information on this.

Can't Burn Music CDs

I have been trying to free up some space on my 30GB ibook hard drive. One thing I wanted to do is get rid of all my music files (which are not plentiful) by burning them to CDs.
In my zeal to clear space I must have deleted something I need because itunes now says it cannot burn music CDs. I have no idea what I dumped that I now need. I am running the lastest version of itunes.
When I searched for disk burning software I was only able to find downloads for data CDs.
Anyone know what I did wrong and how I can fix it?
Thanks!
Abby

You didn't put a recent commercial CD from Sony-BMG in your computer, did you?

Can't Burn CD. Get "checking media" hangup

When I try to burn a playlist, after inserting a blank disk, I get the flashing message "Checking media". Seems to be an infinite loop. Doesn't matter what the playlist is.
I can burn the playlist if I drag it to Toast.
What does "Checking media" mean? What is it doing?
I don't have a .mac account. Might that have something to do with it.
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Mac Mini (Intel)

Not sure if anybody has found the solution to the problem "officially", however this is what I did to fix the checking media hangup problem.
With more than a decade of Windows IT Engineering experience under my belt, I had to do something very "non" Mac like to fix the problem. Put my Windoze hat back on and went to work and did the following:
I drug the Itunes from the dock into the trash (pretty much what I do with anything I don't like that is frustrating me).
Redownload iCHunes 7.3.2(6) again to your desktop. Mount and install it and VIOLA. You can burn CDs again.
As for playlists.. well, very Microsoft-like. You're screwed. Not sure why some playlists survived and some did not. I don't have that many so rebuilding the broken ones aren't a big deal.
Hope that helps! :>

Can't burn a cd, get error

i can't burn a playlist to cd, it starts then kicks the cd-r out and gives me an error code #4450

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Can't burn music CD's on Lion

Can I burn music I have downloaded onto itunes to a cd

Can't burn music cds lately.

I have a Dell 4550 running XP home. I have a Samsung SW-248F CD-RW x48x16x48. I have burned music cds in the past using Imation CD-RW 1x-4x discs with no problem. Tonight I tried to burn a music cd with the same type of disc to no avail. I tried burning an existing and a new playlist. Nothing has worked. This is very frustrating because I successfully burned a cd in the same manner just weeks ago. I have installed no new software or hardware since then. Anyone had a problem like this or have any suggestions? Thanks.

I can't sync music and get an error message when I plug in my iPod

I've had my iPod for a year or so, and mostly things have been fine. The battery-life was dying more quickly than usual, so I went to the Apple Store and got one of the salespeople to help me. They told me to Restore the iPod and see how it went from there. After a complete fiasco with that, I keep trying to plug in my iPod to update my library. However, when I plug it in, the iPod only flashes the charging button, and iTunes is unresponsive and sluggish for several minutes. Then a message pops up that says "The iPod 'iPod' cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found."
I have repeatedly gotten this message and really don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated......

You can also try out few things >
1) check if the ipod constantly appears in mycomputer section .
- if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer
you can try
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

Can't burn music

I am new to itunes tried to burn cd for first time yesterday. I am on a network so I found my playlist on another computer in the office that has a burner, but when I try to burn a cd the burn key is not in the upper right hand corner there is a browse key instead. Am I just being stupid or is there a trick to burn cd from another computer.
Thanks

You cannot burn CD's of your music from a different computer on a network. Networked I Tunes only lets you listen to someone elses music you can't copy files or burn CD's. Even though it is your music since you are looking at it on another computer you won't be able to do anything with it except listen to it.
