I can't play a burned cd in my car stereo

Help! I am unable to play a burned cd in my car stereo with the latest update to itunes. Any suggestions?

I don't know where I would find the file to be dragged. Nothing appears when I insert the disc into the tray, except a window saying that Quicktime isn't installed, which is not true and never was. Quicktime 7 is there.
The instructions that came with the cd-rom also say to use a file on the disc (to install a QT-16 bit). If I could find any files from this disc, I'd do it.
Part of my problem is I've never played a cd-rom before and I don't know how. if there is a "how" to it, aside from inserting the disc. Actually the label beneath the tray says it's a dvd drive. Maybe I don't have a cd-rom drive. There is another tray above it, which I think is for playing cd's. When I put the cd-rom in the other tray, nothing happens. When I put it in the dvd tray, the computer hums and claims Quicktime isn't installed.
A bit long-winded but does it paint a picture?

I can't play my burned purchased CD's

I have purchased over 60 songs from iTunes and I can't burn any of them. It shows them as burning and I can play it on my computer but I can't play it on any other CD playing device. I tried burning CD's with songs that weren't downloaded and it won't work. Please Help!!

When we burned a CD it showed the progress, but then when we looked at it in windows explorer it went straight to iTunes and it showed it was playing but there was no sound.

I can't play music burned as CD.fpbf

Recently, my computer started using burn folders, including when I try to burn music CDs. The problem is, I can't get these CDs to play in my car or anywhere outside of my computer. I'm not even sure how to benefit from burn folders and at this point, it's just annoying. Is there a way to change the file format?

Hello Nghab and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
In order to correctly format a CD read the following. Use iTunes to burn audio CD's in order to burn to the correct format.
To make your own CD, you need:
A disc drive that can burn CDs
A blank CD
An iTunes playlist containing the songs you want on the CD
To create an audio CD:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and click Burning.
Select Audio CD as the Disc Format.
To have all the songs on the CD play at the same volume, select Use Sound Check.
Click OK.
Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include on the CD have a checkmark beside them.
Click Burn CD (at the bottom of the iTunes window) and insert a blank disk.
If the playlist contains more songs than will fit on the CD, iTunes burns only the number of songs that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert another disc to continue burning the remaining songs.
If the playlist includes Audible spoken programs with chapter markers, the chapters are burned as separate tracks.
It might take several minutes to burn an audio CD. You can cancel the burn by clicking the X next to the progress bar (but if you're using a CD-R disc, you won't be able to use it again).
If the playlist contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you can burn the playlist to a CD up to seven times.
Hope this helps,
Carolyn
PS... your car stereo .. check your auto manual to see if it only reads MP3 format. If so, read the following:
You can use iTunes to create CDs of music in MP3 format; the songs sound as good on the CD as they do in iTunes. (MP3 is a high-quality, Internet-standard encoding method.) You can listen to MP3 CDs you create on special consumer CD players or on your computer.
Before you burn a CD, you need to create a playlist containing the songs you want on the CD. You can store more than 12 hours of music, or about 150 songs, on a 650 MB CD-R disc. (You can see the size of the selected playlist at the bottom of the iTunes window.) If you plan to play the CD only on your computer, you can use a CD-RW disc instead.
To create an MP3 CD:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and then click Burning.
Choose MP3 CD as the Disc Format, and then click OK.
Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include have a checkmark beside them.
Click the Burn MP3 CD button (at the bottom of the iTunes window).
Insert a blank disc and click Burn MP3 CD again.
If the playlist contains more songs than fit on a CD, iTunes burns only the number of songs that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert another disc to continue burning the remaining songs.
If your playlist includes songs in formats other than MP3, such as songs purchased from the iTunes Store, they aren't burned to the CD.
Songs you download from the Internet may be of different quality because other encoding formats were used.

Help!!!!! I can't play my burned CD's on my car stereo

I have a 1998 Buick Century and I can't play any of my iTunes cd's in the CD player. is this because the CD player is old and doesn't recognize the format? any input is appreciated

Many older CD players cannot handle a burned CD at all, so you may not be able to get it to work. But make sure you're burning the disk as an audio CD and that you're using CD-R disks, not CD-RW.
Good luck.

Can't play CDs burn from PC

Hello I got some CDs from my friends who use Microsoft. I can't play those CDs in my "white Macbook".
What should I do to play those CDs?

I assume the problem occurs in Music Player, in which case you need to refresh the music library - I think the key sequence is something like:
Options .. Music Library .. Options .. Refresh Music Library
The music library doesn't refresh automatically - which is just as well as it would make opening the Music Player REALLY slow.

Can't play video burned on PC

My son created a slideshow with audio and graphics on his PC, but I can't play it on my Mac. I have QuickTime 7.6 plus Flip4Mac WMV 2.2.1 but I can't figure out how to play the video. When I try to open the DVD, all I get are 4 folders named EXT, MPEG2, PICTURES, SEGMENT and SVCD.
Suggestions? Thank you.

If it is a SCVD or VCD:
VCD is a low cost way of putting what starts as OK videos into a really mediocre 320X240 MPEG-1 format to fit a CD and is VERY popular for Karaoke, and SVCD is a way of putting DVD quality (sort of) MPEG-2 on a CD instead of a DVD:
Put the CD in your computer.
Open the CD in finder.
Look for the largest file in one of the folders - for VCD it is called AVSEQ01.DAT.
For SVCD it is called AVSEQ01.mpg
Rename it whatever you like with an extension of .mpg (not DAT).
Play in MPEG Streamclip or VLC or even Quicktime if it is a VCD as that is only MPEG-1 which works. To play MPEG-2 from a SVCD you need to pay for the Apple MPEG-2 codec or use VLC instead.

Can i play my phone calls over my car speakers?

For some reason after installing my bluetooth I can hear my game sounds over my car stereo speakers. I've always wanted to be able to hear my phone calls over my speakers. Does anyone know if I can do this and if so, how do you set it up? Thanks.

Sure, if your car has the right features ...
My (and a lot of other) car(s), have a bluetooth pairing capability that includes a microphone in the car (ceiling).
So I can play music through the car speakers, and if a phone call comes in, the music will stop (iPhone feature) and once I answer the call (which I can do from pushbuttons on the steering wheel), I can talk (through the car's microphone) and hear (through the car's speakers).
Check out if your car is set up for this.

Samsung Fascinate, problems with playing music via USB port on car stereo

Before the update, I could play the music files on my Fascinate via the USB port on my Kenwood stereo, and control basic functions such as skip, pause etc. Now, my stereo does not recognize the device, and cannot read the files. I went to local Verizon store where a sales rep tried to connect it in here new Kia Soul and it didn't recognize the device either. It will play via the AUX jack, but I lose player control and the phone does not charge via the AUX cable. She did a hard reset which did not resolve the problem. We tried one of the other employee's Fascinate in my car, which did not work either.
So, after hoping to be able to stream music via Pandora, Jango etc thru the USB port after the update, now it seems its primary function is for charging.
Also, the ALL SHARE function, which I used to get the music on my phone originally, does not work now.
Anyone else have this issue with music player and USB connection?

txgopher- I have personally never used my Fascinate to listen to music via USB via stereo however, I can see why it would be frustrating for you to no longer be able to do so when it was never an issue prior to the update.
It sounds as though you and the store rep already did some troubleshooting by trying to duplicate the problem with another car, stereo and even doing the final troubleshooting step which is a master reset.
Since you have done all of the necessary troubleshooting steps to no avail, it most definitely appears as though the software update has interfered with that USB connection in some way.
What I have done is forwarded the information you have provided to Samsung in order for them to look into this concern as well as come up with a way to get this resolved.
Please stay tuned because as soon as we hear back from Samsung we will be sure to update this forum with the results/findings.

Playing Music From Iphone App thru Car Stereo

I know how to play my itunes songs through my car stero, but is there a way to listen through the car stereo to things like Pandora or Foreign Radio stations that I have downloaded as apps while driving? HELP

if you use the headphone jack, any audio will be pumped into your car stereo.

I have an iphone 4s and when i originally bought it before any updates, i was able to play videos on my jensen vm9312hd car stereo with the iphone link cable. Since the first update i havent been able to play videoes. Any ideas?

The first update that removed the youtube icon also stopped my ability to watch videoes from my phone on my jensen vm9312hd car stereo. Is there a way to fix tgis?

Maybe someone played around with your volume limit, try Settings>Music and then volume limit if not reboot your iPhone (hold sleep/wake and home button for about 10 seconds should start up again it self if nit then switch it on normally) and if that doesn't work then reset your settings.

Can't play PC burned MP3 discs w/out adding to library???

This is really annoying me...
When I insert an audio cd, an mp3 cd burned with iTunes, or even music files burned as a data cd with iTunes, the disc shows up in my source list, and I can play it without having the songs added to my library.
When I'm done listening, I eject the CD, and it's as if it was never there.
My roommate has all these mp3 discs that he burned on his pc (I think as data discs) that do not show up on the source list.
I usually drag the disc icon to a new playlist in order to listen to it.
I turned off "copy files to iTunes music folder", because I don't want his files on my hard-drive.
But the file names still get added to my library and when I'm done listening I have to go in and delete them all - Major pain in the butt.
Is there a way around this?
Even if I have to use a different app to listen to his discs - that's fine.
I just want to be able to pop in his discs, listen to them, and then pop 'em out when I'm done, without them leaving any 'residue' on my Mac.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Just downloaded & tested Audion.
Perfect!
Does exactly what I want it to do, nice and simple.
Thanks!
p.s. - wish I could change your post from "helpful" to "solved" but apparently I can't - sorry about that.

Can't play cd burned with disk utility

i have followed the the directions on duplicating a cd on this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1945.html
but the cd that i burned is not recognized by itunes or a regular cd player. can anybody offer any insight into what i may be doing wrong? i have burned cds using itunes and have had no problems with them in my player or computer, but i wanted to use disk utility for cds that i don't want on my hard drive.
cheers,
greg

gregod,
I ran across this sequence of instructions that may help when you are using Disk Utility to copy a disc:
4. From the menubar select File->New->Disk image from disk...
5. In the Convert window that appears select where you want to save the image - the Desktop is as good a place as any.
6. Again, in the Convert window select DVD/CD Master from the Image Format drop down menu
7. Click Save
I think the choice of DVD/CD Master needs to be made.
Hope this works. Let me know.
Regards,
Steve M.
