I cannot burn an itune playlist

I cannot burn a playlist or album from my collection onto a blank cd although I follow the instructions my blank cd keeps being rejected

Howdy janedavid,
If you still have not been able to burn a playlist to a CD in iTunes, I would use the troubleshooting here in the article named:
Can't burn a CD in iTunes for Windows

Is it possible to burn my iTunes playlist to a SD card?

I cannot seem to transfer (burn) an iTunes playlist to a SD card. I eventually want my entire library on SD cards to free up space on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. My Jeep does not have a CD player. Just Bluetooth and SD card slot. So CD format is not an option.

You should be able to copy via drag and drop to the SD card - I don't have any SD cards to play with, but it works for me going to USB drives. I don't have any experience in this, but I'd expect problems with syncing your iPhone if you remove songs from your Library.
What you'll need to do is put iTunes into Song view and select the playlist you want. You'll need to copy the individual songs - Dragging the name of the playlist won't work.
Good luck

Hi, I'e never heard of that error before!???
Is this purchased music, or your own music files?

I have Windows XP, and when trying to burn an iTunes playlist to an Audio CD, I get a message saying "Disc burner or Software not found". I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes, but I still can't burn to disc. Any suggestions?

Try HT203242: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

When apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

when apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

Well, I don't want to buy an optical drive if I buy a new Mac without one. However, iTunes will not allow "burning" a playlist to anything except a real optical drive.
Now, I am not running Mountain Lion so I don't know if iTunes for Mountain Lion allows it or not - could someone please let me know if it is possible.
For me, on Snow Leopard, I cannot find a way to burn, create, duplicate - whatever you want to call it - a playlist to a virtual drive, a USB drive - nothing but a physical drive.
It just makes me wonder if iTunes provides (will provide) an alternative when there is no physical drive included.

Hi,
Create a play list that you wish to burn. Select playlist, the file from main menu which gives to an option to burn the playlist. A pop up box appears allowing you to select burn speed and disc format.

How do I include album art on a cd burn from itunes playlist

every song in my playlist has the same album art (something i created for the playlist).
when i burn a cd it burns all the information over EXCEPT the album art is missing.
is there a setting that i can change that will allow me to burn the playlist with album cover too?

I don't know about AAC but with mp3 files you can embed artwork. For general use, iTunes keeps its own copy of artwork in a separate folder and it isn't part of the mp3 file. This happens when you use iTunes to get artwork for an album. If you manually add artwork to a mp3, or use Dougscript embed artwork script, it will add it to the mp3 itself so it gets carried over when you copy the file. Note, this also increases the size of the mp3 file. itunes will still keep its own copy, and if you want to ensure the artwork is attached to each individual mp3 file you have to embed a copy in each file which ends up taking up more hard drive space. If you have a 3 minute mp3 at 128k quality which is 3 MB in size, and add a high-quality 1MB image to it, suddenly you've increased the amount of space your collection needs by 33%.

Cannot burn from itune to cd

Burned playlist title shows up on left menu with a cd icon but playback results in sound coming in and out,like bad signal on radio station, also verrry slow then freezes, reinserted cd, got 'blank cd' message and cd icon showing cd title does not appear. Tried playing cd in car, got 'err' message and eject. This is new problem, as I have routinely burned purchased/non-purchased playlists using cdrw's. Successfully downloaded itunes version 6, deleted play list, recreated it, still same problem. Afraid to plug in ipod, don't want to corrupt if problem is with cpu.

They are protected, there are copyright issues, you can burn a copy to save in case something happens to your computer, but you can not burn a DVD to say play on your tv, or even a cd copy to play on your tv. To back them up, go under backup under file and it will ask you if you want to back up your purchased movies, songs, tv, etc. I also would love to burn them and play them to my tv, but a get around is to use the apple cables and then play them from your ipod video.

HT204266 How do you burn an itunes playlist to a CD?

I made a playlist in my itunes and would like to burn it to a CD.

Don't know unless you try.
Did you know you can update the OS X to Maverisks 10.9 for free? Go to the App store. Then you can update iMovie if necessary.

Cannot burn using itunes purchase

My grandaughter purchased several iTune songs. When we tried to burn them on an external burner we got the message that, " Only Apple applications such as iTunes, are permitted to burn purchase content" which we did purchase.
Help would be appreciated

iTunes only sell protected tracks, but you can still burn these to an Audio CD with iTunes.
1. Make a playlist of the track you want on a CD.
2. Click on the Playlist, then click on 'Burn CD' in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
3. Insert a blank CD
4. Done

I cannot burn form itunes

I have tried everything from the web page. I then sent a email into support that took the 72 hours for response and was directed to the the same fixes that I had already tried from the web page. the error i'm getting is the attempt to burn disc failed, an unkhown error occured 4201. The burn fails during the first song. All of these songs have been purchased. I was able to make a audio CD one time with my setup. and then waited until I had downloaded enough music for a complete cd and haven't been able to burn since first time. I have made a CD from windows media player using my set up. I'm using a external CD re-writer iomega zip 650. I have also tried many diferent types of discs and tried the unplugging of ipod and re-writer to avoid confusion between the two.

i just upgraded my phone from an 3g to an iphone 4. had att switch the sims so i could use the iphone 4. now i cannot find my playlists? can anyone help out? thanx

The playlist would only be on your iphone if you put it there.
The SIM cars has NOTHING to do with the content on the iphone.

Are your optical drivers up to date? Try updating the drivers, if that was the case in the Device Manager. Hope it works.
