Hey AshleyDawnS,
You may want to try different media type (i.e. Brand B instead of Brand A or CD-R vs CD+R) for the burn
Does the computer have a CD or DVD burner?
Are you able to successfuly burn a data or audio disc in other software?
For a test, you can put is a disc and in iTunes click on help and choose Run Diagnostic, then choose DVD/CD Diagnostics.
If you could post the results here in a reply

    hmmm. i went to Toshiba to check for any available updates for your Satellite ... but they split out the downloads by subcategories for the A105, and so i'm not sure what your precise model is.
    here's a link through to their technical support ... if you plug in the precise model number, are there any available updates for your particular type of A105?

    ... and click "Next".

    Why can't you do this? There's plenty of third-party software that can do the job. Download a few from
    MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and try them out before choosing one to purchase.

  • TS1436 I cant burn CDS using itunes but burns using windows media. itunes up to date what now?

    I cant burn cds using itunes but burns in window media.itunes up to date what now?

    Join the crowd. I was thinking of going back to a previous version, but had heard that could be a problem. Fortunately, I have more than one computer and things work fine there. I'm thinking it could be the burner in the problem computer, but it was working just fine before the upgrade...

  • Cant Burn Videos anymore

    OK Hello I have been buying the new videos from itunes
    Before they sold seperrately ( wenh were sold Along with albums )
    they could Be burned to CD and when In a cd player would still play Music only
    but now that Ive bought them individaully I cant burn them in such a way
    this is not consistant with what HAS been done and Obviously its not
    a technical limitation so whats the deal ? If this is hopw its going to Be
    Well the video quality aint thgat great ........

    I just purchased about 8 Music Videos using the new iTunes 6.0 application, and was wondering if these files can be played back on my PSP?
    I noticed that the file format has a .m4v format and Sony's PSP plays .mp4 files....so can the iTunes Videos be converted to play on this sort of device?
    I don't always have my laptop around, and simply would like to whip out my PSP for games...and when I get tired of that...be able to listen to and watch Music Videos.
    What's up with all this proprietary crap...there should be some sort of standardization...and allow user who purchase (really tiny videos) to be able to play them back on (really tiny devices)
    After all the Videos do not really scale-up to full-size to well...for $1.99....I guess we get what we pay for!!
    I forgot to mention I already have a Photo iPOD (my second generation purchase)...and can't keep buying this units everytime they come up with something new!! (there should be some sort of trade-up or firmware upgrade...instead of scrapping these devices and having to purchase a new one)

  • Cant burn regular cds I can only burn only cd rw

    I use to be able to burn on regular cds but now I cant burn unless its on a cd rw. The people I am making disc for their stero wouldn't play the cd rw.

    iTunes will convert on the fly for audio CDs, but 20 or so is the maximum.
    If your car's CD player can read an MP3 CD, you can get about 150 songs on each CD.
    iTunes will not burn songs to an MP3 CD unless you first convert them to MP3 format.  You can convert them and leave the original songs unchanged.  This explains how to convert your songs:

  • Cant burn a disc, cant play music and surf the web, cant cant cant ***

    Ok so why is it that if I am listening to music with itunes I cant even do simple things without it skipping and sounding horrible. Also every time I try to burn my music to a disc I get an error “unknown disc error 4261” *** is this. oh I am using itunes 6 as I heard that 7 was far worse than this brilliant piece of work. Now how come I can use windows media player wile I use adobe premier and photo shop at the same time. I have a farly decent compi so why is it that itunes cant do anything worth wile other than put music on my ipod. btw my ipod is going to go on eBay just as soon as I can figure out how to get my paid for music from itunes onto cd. Itunes dosnt offer the ablility to chand the setting wile burning a disc or any of that. is there a special apple itunes cdr that I need to buy that cost $100 for a 2meg. What is an unknown disc error 4261 I cant even fix whats wrong and my compi says nothing is wrong. I am able to burn data disks for school no problem. I am trying to burn the music onto to light scribe cdr’s I did try some cheepo disks but that didn’t work so I figured it didn’t like the old disks and hey I can use the discs in my car so why not. Itunes has done nothing but **** me the f off since I got it and all I want to do is get rid of it but im sure they will not refund me the money for the music so I want it on disk and in a useful player like media player.

    and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
    Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
    Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
    The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

  • Cant burn audiobooks to CD (MP3) help

    im trying to make a CD for my car and i cant fit the hole audiobook on 1 cd so i was trying to make it in to an MP3 but it is in the from of m4b.... plz help

    Ok I finally figured out my problem with no help from Dumb Dell. I made a backup copy of my old computer onto an external hard drive. When I plugged in that external hard drive it automatically copied my Itunes Library onto my computer. When I tried to play a song from Itunes it could not locate the song. So I plugged in my external hard drive and the song would play and low and behold I was then able to burn a playlist onto a disk. So now I need to figure out how to get my music from the hard drive to my new iTunes library locally on the pc anybody know how to do this??
