I can't create audio CD in itunes 10.3

I "upgraded" to iTunes 10.0.0.68 a while back. When I did this the various options for creating an audio CD vanished. I've scoured many apple forums & found lots of people have this issue. The feedback they get is generally insinuating that they are stupid because they can't see the "burn" button on the "advanced" tab under "edit>preferences>advanced" or they are not clicking the playlist or some other thing.
So what I'm saying is that none of the places I have searched offered an explanation. Eventually I decided to "upgrade" to 10.3.1.55 because most of the suggestions recommended that as a last resort. There is still no option to burn an audio CD or an mp3 CD anywhere in iTunes for Windows.
I'm running XP, I have two different burners that work with every single program I have, except iTunes. And it's really not that they don't work with iTunes, because iTunes would need to have a "burn" option somewhere in the program for them to not work with iTunes. And it does not. The only thing I can do is create a backup of my iTunes library. That is not what I need to do.
Does anyone know if iTunes is still capable of creating audio CDs? If so, please, please tell me your secrets! Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Okay, I may have answered my own question. When I have iTunes up, & I insert a blank disc I get a pop-up that tells me I've inserted a blank disc, if I want to burn to it, go to file>burn bla bla bla and sure enough, now the option shows up. Hmmm...
So here's what I did: I removed the disc & restarted iTunes to see if the option would go away. It did not. Even with no disc in the drive I now have the option "burn playlist to disc" under the "file" menu. It was not there 20 minutes ago, and has not been there ever with 10.0.0.68. I cannot say whether I ever inserted a blank disc while 10.0.0.68 was up or not, but I do know that I burned lots of stuff with other programs. My next experiment will be to completely reboot the computer, then start iTunes & see if the option is still there.
I'll let you know how that turns out.  :-)
Here is my suggestion to anyone having the same issue: just pull up iTunes, then stick a blank disc into your drive & see what happens. I'm betting your issue will be resolved.

  • Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

    I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play.

    JohnAndKel,
    That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
    (Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

    how can i create an account in itunes from Bangladesh ?

    If you go to the artist's/group's page in the store then you should be able to do it e.g. search for the artist in the store, and on the right-hand side of the results page there should be list of content categories that match that search, and below it a link for the artist
    Click on the artist's name to go to a screen listing their items, and at the top right of that screen there should be a 'share' icon'
    Click on that and on the popup you should have an option for 'alert me' (I haven't used it but I assume that it works).
    You can see what alerts that you have, and remove them, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option - on your account's screen there should be an Alerts link

  • How can i create a playlist in iTunes and have the playlist show up on iPhone 5

    I painstakingly spent a considerable amout of time creating a playlist in iTunes on Windows, and now when I sync my iPhone, and open the Music app, I do not see the playlist at all.  When I select 'On this device' in iTunes, I can see the playlist listed, but a large number of the songs are greyed out, and do not play in iTunes.  These are simply songs I selected from my iTunes library into an iTunes playlist, and I sync'ed my iPhone saying transfer only selected playlists, etc, and now the playlist does NOT show up on the iPhone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • I can not find audio books on itunes.

    Can anyone help me please, I have purchased several Audio Books from itunes and now I want to sync them onto my iphone but i can not find them on itunes.

    Sorry, but unless you're willing to pay for them again, you're out of luck unless the iTunes Store is willing to grant you an exception. As RG said, Apple has not been granted a license to allow redownloading of audiobooks. You can contact the iTunes Store here and ask:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    but don't be surprised if they say "no", and it may take a couple of days before you get a response at all other than the automated acknowledgement of your submission.
    Good luck.

  • How can I create chapter markers that iTunes will recognize?

    I recently purchased several audiobooks from Barnes and Noble which are encoded as MP3s with chapter markers inserted into the metadata in a proprietary format. I am trying to convert them to appear properly in iTunes.
    It appears that I could import them into a GarageBand podcast project, and create markers by hand there, but that is very slow and impractical for dozens of hours of audiobooks.
    I would like to simply edit the metadata associated with the file so that iTunes will recognize them.
    Here is an example MP3 audiobook file with proprietary chapter metadata:

    The resulting file appears to have chapter markers in the same format as the iTunes audiobook format, however the chapter markers don't show up in iTunes, QuickTime Player or on my iPhone. VLC however does recognize the chapter markers.
    Can anybody point me in the right direction? I seem to be at a bit of an impasse here.
    Edit: I am using iTunes 10.1.2 if that makes any difference.

  • Can you create more than one iTunes account?

    I already have an iTunes account on my computer, but I want to create a second account that has no credit card attached to it. Would creating a second account change my original Apple ID? When I try creating an account, next to the e-mail address, it says this is your NEW Apple ID. Does it mean my original ID for Apple will be changed too? I'm a little confused.

    I already have an iTunes account on my computer
    You mean you created an iTunes account in the iTunes store.
    You have an iTunes library on your computer which may or may not have purchases from iTunes store.
    but I want to create a second account
    Why? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I would suggest not creating a new iTunes account.
    that has no credit card attached to it.
    You can remove the credit card from your current iTunes account.

  • Can't burn audio cd in itunes

    I just started having this problem yesterday. iTunes will burn an mp3 cd just fine; however, when I try to burn an audio cd it says that there are too many songs to fit on one disc and there is only like ten 4 minute songs. Then I click to make multiply audio cds and then itunes only puts 1 song up there, if it will even put anything up there. However, when I try to burn the same playlist as an mp3 cd, it works fine. I have tried updating itunes, I have even deleted it and completely downloaded it again and it still will not work. Can anyone please help?

    +the drive makes an AWFUL noise for a couple minutes+

  • Can't copy audio CDs to iTunes

    I just installed iTunes 10 and now whenever I try to upload a CD, it reads the tracks just fine, but then tells me "the required file can not be found".
    Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

    So if I wanted to make playable cds (playable in a cd player) with the song names included on the cd, could I do that?
    No. Well at least not that I know of. Your standard audio CD for a CD player does not contain the track information on the CD. You only see it on the computer because your iTunes or whatever is looking it up for you.
    I hesitated writing this because there are mixed media audio CDs but these are complex and I don't think are what you want. With that kind of CD you might have the option of storing a separate text file with the tune names, but you have to use dual formatting on the CD and... messy.
    You can of course burn AIFF files or MP3 files to a CD but these are not CDs that will play in a CD player. Well, again, there are some CD players that play mp3s, but I have never seen one in action so I don't know if they show the track information. It wouldn't be difficult to do so maybe they do do it. MP3s are lossy format which means they are lower quality than the original.

  • Can't transfer audio mp3 from Itunes to my Ipod

    I have been downloading audio books from my local library for years using over drive.  I have downloaded them using WMA, but for some reason the audio books I request are coming in MP3 (I haven't a clue why).  I download the audio to over drive, then transfer the file to my IPod nano (4th or 5th generation).  It looks like everything is transferring as usual,  But after ejecting my ipod from the computer and look for my book, there is nothing there.
    I thought my Ipod devise accepted MP3 format?  I'm a novice and don't if the issue is with my Ipod nano, ITunes, or overdrive?
    Can someone help me clear up my problem?
    Thaks

    I had the same thing happen to me.
    All I had to do was reset the iPhone. If you don't know, just hold the home button down at the bottom of your screen and the power button at the same time. After 10 seconds, it may ask if you want to power down - keep holding - it will reset. Don't power down.

  • Can't create smart playlists because iTunes can't see all my playlists

    I noticed that my smart playlists aren't updating properly. When I tried to edit them, I got an error message saying "This smart playlist depends on one or more playlists that cannot be found."  I am using as one of my rules "Playlist is" but the dropdown list next to that rule does not show all of my playlists. It shows some of my smart playlists, none of the "regular" playlists. That means I cannot fix the smart playlist.
    For example, I have a playlist called "exercise" that is a regular playlist. It contains 965 songs that I have added manually. I can see the "Exercise" playlist just fine in iTunes, and I can add/remove songs from it. But my smart playlist, "Top Exercise Rare Recent," does not work, because it depends on the rule "Playlist Is Exercise." When I try to edit the rule "Playlist is," I cannot choose "Exercise" from the dropdown list--that playlist simply does not show up. But it is there. I can see it in iTunes. I just can't see it in the dropdown list.
    I don't even know what to try to fix this.
    In case it matters, a few versions ago, an iTunes update "lost" my library. I had saved backup of my library files, fortunately, so I did not lose all of my ratings and playlists (at least, I didn't think I did). After I restored my library files, iTunes did not recognize my iPod classic so I had to re-sync it (removing everything that was on it and replacing it with whatever was in iTunes, i.e., exactly the same files). Then the next update broke my ability to burn playlists to cds AND it broke my system clock. I had to revert to a restore point that preceded the iTunes update, then reinstall iTunes, then "repair" the installation to get my cd burning ability back.
    I am now using iTunes 11.3.1.2 on a Windows 8.1 PC (64-bit). Wishing I had never update

    Thanks for the clarification. Sorry, it's working for me so I'm not sure what to suggest. Perhaps someone else will have ideas.
    Regards.

  • Can you share audio books in itunes match

    I just signed up for Itunes Match and the upload is done but I don't see my audiobooks that are in my library.  Any suggestions?

    You should be able to sync your audiobooks either with wifi or USB. Ensure that the media type is Audiobook.
    Whilst you cannot sync music with match turned on you can still sync Audiobooks.

    Well, thanks very much, Roaminggnome!
    It would have been nice of the brains at Apple (iTunes Dept) to have designed it better with the rest of the world's customers in mind wouldn't it? It's basic good manners to produce a version for their customers who DON"T live in the USA? Or at least have the brains and the manners to design the error message to say something like:
    "Sorry, this service is only available in the US at the moment. We hope to release the service in your country in the very near future. Apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment caused"
    Or are they just trying to be like Microsoft again?
