ITunes 11 - Burning Playlist to Audio CD fails when including CD Text

I just started running into an issue where I am unable to burn an Audio CD and include CD text. 
I tried everything including different burn speeds and cannot get it to work.  I get the error:
The attempt to burn a disc failed.  An unknown error occured (4000).
Luckily nothing is ever written to the CD, so I am not making coasters.
For kicks to make sure iTunes CD burning was working for anything, I selected Data CD instead of an Audio CD, and the Data CD succesfully burned.
Then I attempted to burn the Playlist and unchecked "Include CD Text", and the CD was successfully created.
It has been a while and that means it was with a prior version of iTunes, but I have successfully burned playlists with CD Text.  How come this is not working in iTunes 11.0.0.163?
Anyone have any recommendations how to fix the CD Text Issue?
John

I have the same problem...I used to purchase music and burn it to a CD for my car and when I updated my itunes, (which I wish I hadn't and doing a system restore failed) I can not figure out how to burn any music off my itunes...I need to burn a CDS for church this Sunday so please help...

  • Burning playlist for audio

    Well, I'm baffled. I haven't burnt a disc to play in our Bose system since Tiger & now I burnt one in SnowLeopard & altho it'll play back ok in iTunes, it will not play on the Bose. Bose's screen gives a "disc error" & ejects it.
    I have carefully gone over how to in iTunes Help, selected "audio" etc. but it just won't play.
    What does anyone think may be the matter? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
    Mary

    I'm using Verbatim DVD-R.
    The playlists I burned successfully before were on my PPC Mac with the Tiger system.
    I'm on Intel now...didn't try to burn any with Leopard so can only speak for SnowLeopard.
    I shouldn't think the difference would be PPC vs Intel so can't make out what could be going on.

  • ITunes should not route audio through EQ when routing to AirTunes speakers

    I just got a 2nd AirPort Express to use as AirTunes speakers. It's plugged into our very nice AV receiver via optical cable, so the sound quality should be as good as it can get with this sort of wireless setup. But, the audio is being EQd by iTunes, using the custom EQ setting I've created for the speakers I use at the computer. This is wrong. iTunes offers a way to easily switch between "speakers", but no way to pair up EQ settings with each. It should use the current EQ setting when routing sound to the computer it's running on, but either use no EQ or a preselected EQ when routing sound to any AirTunes speakers.
    Why would it EQ the audio going to some unknown audio device that's plugged into the AirPort Express, most likely in another room where it would be impossible to even begin to EQ it by ear from back at the computer?
    So, is there any way to do this now? If not, I'm sending feedback and logging a radar so they'll correct this huge oversight.

    Our cordless phones are 5.8GHz.
    Some cordless phones also use 2.4GHz for paging between handset and base station.
    Can it happen
    that interference only shows up with multiple
    speakers selected?
    Due to the bandwidth requirements possibly. Streaming a single audio stream is less bandwidth intensive then streaming multiple audio streams.
    If you were trying to stream video you may find the same thing.
    As long as we're talking about possible sources of
    interference, we do have two 802.11b networks in the
    house. Could that be the issue?
    Yes.
    What channels are the three wireless networks on?

  • Manual Switch of Audio Output fails when google phone rings

    I am using a plantronics headset that plugs into my usb port to make calls using google talk. I normally use the computer with the internal speakers providing sound, and only switch to the plantronics headset when I need to make a call. I can option click on the volume control icon in the toolbar which lets me switch the sound output. However, when a google phone call is incoming, I hear it ring and want to switch to the headset. The toolbar shows I have switched to the plantronics headset but the sound continues to come out of the computer and not into the headset. The headset is a Plantronics .Audio 655 DSP. Do I need to purchase a simpler headset that plugs into the line in mini jack ports instead?

    There's these on Amazon.

  • Satellite A110-178 - Burn audio CD including CD-text

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-178. I would like to create an audio CD (.wav files) including cd-text (so, data like artist, album, etc.)
    I tried to add the cd-text using several different software programs (Nero, Acoustica CD burner, etc.), however when I burn the CD, the cd-text is not available.
    Now I found out that your cd-burner also needs to be capable to burn the cd-text. Apparantly, not all cd-burners have this capability.
    Do you know whether the cd-burner in my Toshiba is capable of burning this data?
    Thanks & regards,
    Oliver

    Hi,
    Thanks for the help.
    I found a useful tool from Nero which checks whether your cd/dvd burner supports cd-text etc.
    [http://www.nero.com/eng/support-nero8-tools-utilities.html|http://www.nero.com/eng/support-nero8-tools-utilities.html]
    I'll check it later, I'm not home now so not able to check.
    Keep you posted..!

  • Burn playlist to cd in itunes to create an audio cd

    I'm trying to burn playlist to cd to create an audio cd in itunes but certain songs get truncated (go from 4 to 5 minutes each to 2 minutes in length).  I know the length of the playlist fits on the cd, so what's happening and how can I fix it??  Also, at the bottom of the screen that shows the playlist you can see the length of the playlist.  Once the playlist goes over an hour, the length shows 1.1 or 1.2 hours, etc.   Can I change the view to see 1 hour and the number of minutes?

    Also, at the bottom of the screen that shows the playlist you can see the length of the playlist.  Once the playlist goes over an hour, the length shows 1.1 or 1.2 hours, etc.   Can I change the view to see 1 hour and the number of minutes?
    Yes. 
    Click the time, and the format will change to hours:minutes:seconds. 
    Click it again, and it changes back to decimal hours.

  • New version of iTunes will not allow me to burn audiobooks to audio CDs

    i just pruchased an audiobook from iTunes. as i've always done in the past, i went to burn an audio CD to back it up. i have did this with Diamond's 'Collapse' and was signaled that it would take multiple audio CDs. no problem. when i went to burn this new audiobook, i was given a warning that sometracks could not be burned to a single audio CD. no kidding? i clicked 'OK' and then was prompted that the tracks would not fit on one audio CD, but would require multiple discs, just as it had always been. no problem. so, i clicked 'OK' and waited, and waited, and waited... you get the picture. nothing happened. i tried it several times. same result. so, i can't burn my new purchase to an audio CD with the newest verion of iTunes. this is irritating because now i can't burn it to audio discs in order to listen to it in my car. why is this not working? i've also had issues with other aspects of the new version, but this is the most immediate problem. my last question went unanswered, so PLEASE someone help me out here since you can't go to iTunes for any help. thanks in advance for any assistance.
      Windows XP  

    I think I've discovered what the new iTunes lets you do. You need to drag and drop a new playlist into the iPod. After about 10 tries at this, and 2 forced quits of iTunes as the screen froze, I finally saw my playlist listed under the iPod contents and the synching began. Then the iMac told me that synching was impossible as it couldn't find the device. No iPod connected! So now iMac shows no iPod attached, but iPod thinks its still synching. I'll leave it for an hour and see what happens.

    i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard.  i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users.  Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD.   Anyone else with this problem?  CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update?  Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update!  it just saves gray.

    If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Or you can:
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

  • Can't Burn Playlists to Disc ... Error 43 ... iTunes was Not Properly Installed ... Diagnostics Included

    Hi. Immediately after installing iTunes a dialogue window appears stating that "itunes was not properly isntalled. if yuou wish to import or burn cds you need to reinstall itunes." This happens even after I complete the installation w/ antivirus disabled.  Indeed, I am unable to burn playlists to cds.  Upon attempting to do so, iTunes produces the ambiguous error message:  "Disc Recording not found ..."
    My instinct tells me this is a problem w/ the GEAR driver software. I've uninstalled the driver manually, and then reinstalled it as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308 (Solution 3). Still, the problem persists.
    Any ideas?????

    If it's any help I have found I can't burn discs any longer in this precise version of iTunes. I have gone back to the previous version where everything is fine in this respect. My symptoms were not quite the same as yours but the result was the same - I couldn't burn discs. Yours is the first post on this I've found so I suspect Apple may not be aware of the issue or it is affecting relatively few users. If I find a solution I will post again and meanwhile hope that the next update solves the problem.

  • Itunes gives needs to close Windows message when trying to Burn DVD or Sync

    I have a 60G Video Ipod
    I right click on the my playlist and select Burn Playlist to Disc. It then asks if I want to do a data DVD, I click yes and then it starts checking Playlist. When the bar almost reaches the end the windows message pops up and Itunes closes.
    The same error box pops up when I connect my Ipod and it starts to update the Ipod.
    I can play music with Itunes without any issues until I either want to burn a dvd or connect the Ipod.
    I have reisntalled Itunes from the original CD after removing Itunes, Ipod updater and quicktime from Add/remove programs. I have upgraded a few times and the issue still persists. The issue initially started when in version 6.0.2 which was a known issue and the fix was to go to version 6.0.3.
    Is there other lcoations that have files, that add/remove doesn't remove? I cannot see how unistalling and reinstaling from the CD would not correct the issue.
    I have windows XP Media Edition and do not have dual core processors but do have hyperthreading.

    Hey there Nezzinton,
    It sounds like your iTunes application is quitting when you try to use it, or it quits when you try to sync your device to it. If the former, use this article:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    If the latter, use the troubleshooting in the following article:
