Converting does not mean losing the original files.
iTunes creates copies of the files in the chosen format.
You can easily distinct them by looking at the 'Kind' column or by sorting on 'Date Added'. The converted files will have the most recent 'Date Added'.
Then put them in a playlist, choose 'MP3 CD' in the Burning preferences and burn them to CD-R.
If you don't like a long list of songs, read iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD how to burn by artist or album.
If all went well, you can delete the mp3's from your library.
If you would like to keep them, but not in your current library, drag them from the library to a folder on your desktop and then delete them. Dragging to a folder will create copies of the mp3's.
If you're using iTunes 7, you could then create a second library and drop the folder with mp3's in that one.
Creating a second (third etc....) library is done by pressing and holding the Option-key when launching iTunes. Hold the key until you see a window which enables you to create or choose another iTunes library.

  • Ever since I downloaded the new itunes I can't burn CD's using my external

    I can't burn cd's using my writemaster external CD drive. I can't use the one inside the computer because it's a piece of crap and burned out months ago. I burned a CD yesterday with no problem My only guess is that it has something to do with the new itunes! Help! Suggestions? Support numbers I can call? Anything!

    Oh! and Sorry... I downloaded some other burn software a little bit ago, and it's working fine. It's just WAY slower than iTunes. Anyone know what I can do?!

    Hi Allan ..
    From your iTunes library, right or control click the song then click Delete.
    Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" >>  iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    i had to wipe my computer clean so i downloaded new itunes now i can't sign in

    What error?
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • Problem occured while downloading itunes 8.0 - Can't burn or import

    Upon downloading itunes 8.0 for windows an error must have occured because every time I open iTunes the "itunes setup assistant" pops up with a message that reads:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of install other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I have tried repairing and removing and reinstalling itunes multiple times and the error still occurs. I also have not installed CD burning software anytime recently. The only CD burning software I have came with my computer and worked fine with the itunes prior to the download of itunes 8.0. Please help me solve this issue. Thanks.

    I am having the exact same problem. If you get an answer, please forward it along to me and I'll do the same. I'm so frustrated

  • Itunes 9. Can't burn or import cd's.

    When I open itunes, a window pops up stating:
    "The registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes."
    I never installed any other software. I did try to reinstall itunes 9 and I keep getting the same error message.
    Help?

    The starting point should be this Apple article:
    Inability to use a drive may be conflicts with device filters
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2615?viewlocale=en_US
    If that doesn't help, you can download the gear drivers for burning from the Gear site and then you can try installing them manually.

    If you don't see the downloads, you may need to enable javascript.

  • Can't burn a DVD using IDVD nor Disk Utility- first time user-what is wrong

    The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
    May 13, 2007 8:05pm PDT
    IDVD Version 6.0.3
    Emac- OS 10.3.9--- in the owner's manual it DOES state my emac can burn DVDs. Is this correct?
    I keep getting this error message after about 20 minutes of programming the DVD-- then it ejects with this message:
    "The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)"
    When using the IDVD application to burn my slideshow onto a DVD; Then I contacted Apple Care and I was told to use Disk Utility to burn my DVD in lieu of IDVD not working.
    I converted my slideshow into a .dmg format; all was verified successfully. Then I receive this error message when attempting to BURN DVD:
    "STOP The device drained its buffer without burn under run protection"
    I made a WONDERFUl slideshow-- of only 17 slides-- confirmed I have plenty of room on hard drive and et al on the "disk information". I have attempted since May 7th to get this DVD to burn my slideshow. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have deadlines-- now it is for Tuesday May 15th. Please alert me to an alternative until I can get my Emac working properly on what I can do to make copies of my slideshow ASAP. Thank you.
    Now I looked thru your ERROR message archives and found NONE to match mine. What do these error messages mean-- is my Emac not working? This is first time ever I tried to use IDVD and IMovie and Disk Utility--- so the first impression is VERY VERY VERY bad for Apple's "easy to use for first time customers"....

    Well I had to make the copies for my presentation-- so the cheapest I could find in my area was Walgreens-- 39.99 for ONE COPY of a DVD! So I paid $70.00 and the clerk made 4 copies for me;-) So thanks Walgreens!
    Now-- my Mac-- I could not find anything on shelves at Walgreens or Office Depot but the FujiFilm I already have... So I now have time to look elsewhere.
    I did PRAM my Emac 3 times-- I tried these things also:
    1)Saved the IDVD- .dmg format to QuickTime .mov
    I uploaded to google video.com or whatever-- they use their own software-- .gvp file and player. All was successful (even now on YouTube-
    2) I then made another version in PowerPoint and saved it as an MPEG
    Also for below-- I lowered the burn rate upon the 2nd try to 1x-- took one hour or more (I went to get a root canal... then exfoliate... then I came back;-)
    Also tried different .mov from the web-- a great whale shark video that was only 49mb. My presentation is 120 mb. So I was just thinking-- make it smaller; burn slower.
    3)I did try to burn from IDVD, Disk Utility and then the drag and burn/click method on the desktop-- put a blank DVD in-- drag the .mov icon to the blank DVD -- write a title for the blank DVD- formats it / Drag to trash-- Burn icon comes up/ Clicked it-- waited 20 minutes and received:
    "Error: Error occurred while burning the disc. This disc can not be used."
    So I put in another blank Fuji DVD-- just in case. Same error message-- so I am hoping it is the DVD itself and not the SuperDrive.
    4)Also-- I tried to do audio CD burn-- just to make sure about the drive-- all was successful and I did a back up of my Itunes files-- 6 CDs they burned (they meaning "the Gods of Mac OS" ;-0 My audio CDs are Office Depot CD-R 52X700mb/ So the generic is better for CDs on my Emac that I know;-)
    So I will use my weekend to try other DVDs-- and I have the safety net of Apple Care-- but then just realized-- my Extended Care plan is OVER at May 30, 2007!!! I called to ask to EXTEND it further-- I'll pay whatever-- NOPE-- 3 years was max on this contract. So any repairs I have to pay for after May 30th-- ISN'T THAT JUST THE WAY THE WORLD GOES? The DAY after your warranty on AnYTHING-- the thing goes kablooey?
    But I still have days left--- and I know of a good Mac Repair person in area-- but it is just so darn difficult to move my desktop Emac (I got the GLASS monitor to save $300 or something) Weight Lifting is what it is-- weighs about 45lbs or more.
    But it seems it may be the media I am using if the CD burner is working, right?
    I can update-- if you want me to email direct-- just give me a note (my email is listed). Thanks all!!! I just want to impress everyone of how tenacious I am to find that my Emac is FINE-- it is just ME that is warped;-)

  • Downloaded 8.2 and still can't burn...

    I burned a disc right after I downloaded the new version hoping that it finally take of the burn problem. It took forever but it finally spit out a disc. 8 tracks long and it played until track 7 then nothing. track 8 and 1-6 all play so I thought I would try another one. I made a play list and started the burn and it kicked out with a error code 4020 message. That's a new one but not surprising. What really bums me is that I spent a $50 gift card on new music after x-mas and still can't burn any of it.

    Are you able to download apps?
    If so, have you checked that the Apps tab is selected under preferences in iTunes?
    You may need to peruse the iOS4 Users Guide found here:

    Recently purchased my first Apple product (ipod touch) and am needing to know how to transfer music from other ipods and other itunes accounts. Can this be done? I have plugged in another ipod into my new itunes account and it will not let me transfer the music that it contains into my new account. Any/all help is much appreciated. Thank you!

  • If I downloaded an iTunes  ringtone, where can I find it on my phone?

    If I downloaded a ringtone, where is it on my phone so that I can use it?

    You should be able to assign it to an event in Settings > Sounds. Or you can go into the Contacts app, select the contact that you want to assign it to, tap the Edit button and assign it to them.
    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to copy it over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it

  • Downloaded new iTunes but now can't access store....HELP PLEASE!

    In order to download a TV programme from iTunes I had to download a newer version of iTunes however, when I downloaded this it gave me a message saying in order to now use the iTunes store I had to have Safari 4, however, I can't download Safari 4 as my mac is only 10.5.2 and it needs to be 10.5.7, now can I update my mac to be 10.5.7 (I found this patch but don't want to download it unless it's right - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html ) OR can I get rid of the iTunes I downloaded and have my old one back???

    found this patch but don't want to download it unless it's right - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html
    That is the correct updater to bring your system up to the latest version of Mac OS X 10.5.
    OR can I get rid of the iTunes I downloaded and have my old one back???
    You can't but it's not particularly easy. Try updating Mac OS X and then installing Safari 4.0.3 and see where that gets you. Then if you continue to have problems, post back and someone can help further.
    Regards.

  • Song data corrupted during download from Itunes store; what can I do?

    Friends,
    I bought an album because the song I wanted was listed as "album only." The album downloaded fine, but the "album only" song (which is long) was evidently corrupted during the download; there are many pops and clicks that always occur in the same location in the song.
    The Itunes store only lets you download a song once. How do I get a correct (error-free) data file? Is this even possible?
    Thank you for your help.

    Let us know if you have any success with this. I also downloaded an album this weekend and have the same problem with a number of tracks (album was Ella Baila Sola - Platinum Collection). Same problem occurs at the same point in the files on both my PC and my iPod, so relatively certain that it's the file that's the issue.
    I reported this to Apple using the link suggested above, but despite the promise of 24 hour turn-around time have heard nothing since Sunday...

  • After latest itunes update i can no longer drag songs using home sharing.

    Previously, I was able to open home sharing between my husband (his mac) and my computer (pc).  But after the itunes software update on my pc, the ability to import and drag songs is gone.  I have done it many times before.  I see the home sharing library and can browse through it.  But can't take any action with it.  Can't import to library or to ipod.
