Itunes 6.0 - if download is on playlist, it won't burn

Hi everyone,
I've been reading all the posts over the last couple of weeks and I'm no expert, but I've come to the conclusion that it's a problem with Itunes 6.0 that a lot of us are experiencing. We're all going to the trouble of updating firmware etc but that's not where the problem may lie!!!
If everyone who is having a problem with burning cds were to try my suggestion out, then we might collectively get somewhere ith Itunes.
My suggestion is to ensure that the playlist you are trying to burn DOES NOT have any downloaded material on it. Just ensure it has cd uploaded stuff. Then try to burn it.
I thought my problem was burning - period. It is not. I only have problems with playlists with a downloaded track on it. I even tried it with one that I downloaded this morning, so I hadn't used my allowance and it still wouldn't burn.
I don't get any error messages; my Itunes collects then hangs.
Is anyone else having the same problem as me?
I have mailed Itunes direct and I'm hoping they can help me. If they can, I'll post here.
Jane

Jane,
I have no doubt this is a problem Apple needs to sort out if they want their customers to continue using their software and downloading songs. There is no irony in the fact that a lot of users began to experience this problem after having downloaded the latest version. I wish I could somehow get the version back on my machine that was there before I started to experience this problem.
I pasted my diagnostics to another thread on burning issues in the hopes someone can tell me if my drive is my issue (I really don't think it is). Will share anything I might hear or come up with. Good luck.

Itunes 6.0 - if download is on playlist, it won't burn - Please help

Hi Everyone (and Toonz, perhaps we can continue where we left off in Dec)
Basically my problem is that I can't burn any purchased tracks from Itunes. I can burn uploaded stuff from my own cd collection, but not if it has a purchased track on the playlist.
It checks playlist, ticks the tracks then freezes/hangs and I have to control alt delete to get out of Itunes entirely.
So far I've updated firmware, tried it with firewall and security system off and pop ups off, tried both cd drives. Tried different burn speeds and cd makes.
What I have done is managed to burn it to data disc, but then of course I can't play it on anything other than the pc, so that's no use.
This all started when I had to re-load Itunes to version 6 after a pc crash. The previous version was fine.
I've updated to the very latest version of Itunes (6.0.2 I think) just the other day, but no joy.
cd diagnostics after a failed burn are:eveshamvale MS-7125

The last failed MP3 CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive D: SONY DVD RW DW-D22A on CDR media at speed 0X.
I personally feel that this has something to do with licenses but that's just a hunch.
Does anyone know how licenses can be renewed, or se-sent to my computer to authorise me to use the tracks (Media Player has a function that does this)?
I'm willing to try whatever people suggest if I haven't tried it already.

Janieburmy,
You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
So, let's try the filter experiment.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter.
Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.

Last update to itunes wiped out all downloaded files and playlists....NOT IMPRESSED!! Any ideas??

TS1362 My blank cd says 80 min. or 700 MB. Playlist in Itunes says 1.6 hrs., 213 MB. It won't burn, itunes says it won't fit onto cd. What's up with this?

I don't understand why itunes won't burn my playlist to a blank CD. CD-R says 80 min, or 700 MB. Playlist shows 176 MB, 25 songs, 1.3 hrs. I don't understand why it won't fit onto one CD.

If you are burning an audio CD, use the time/length of the playlist.
If you are burning and MP3/data CD, use teh size (MB) of the playlist.
Note that there needs to be room for directories and other info on teh disc which will nto be displayed in teh size of the playlist.
The disc may hold 80 minutes but a playlist of 80 minutes will not fit.
Usually, you can get ~70 minutes max.

Itunes 11.3 and os x 10.6.8 won't burn cd

I have an iMac and suddenly my iTunes will not burn CDs -- it says that the disk may be incompatible. Never had problems before and don't know if it is because of an upgrade for iTunes. The internal drive appears to work fine outside of iTunes. I've tried two different disk brands.

Have tried to download & install as a group and individually. Have downloaded Safari and Java to the hard drive and tried to install them.
Do you get any error messages? What do they state? Did you repair permissions prior to the installation attempts?
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
Also I've purchased Lion and tried twice to download and install but it reports an error at 4.1 GB and aborts, driving my downloads into pay-per-extra MB on my cable service.
According to your system info "Mac OS X (10.5.7)" you do not meet the system requirements for Lion - System requirements for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

I would like to know if I can "join CD tracks" once they are downloaded into a playlist in my ITunes folder on my computer and/or how do you "join CD tracks" if you are downloading from iTunes itself. From the information through the "Help" menu, it seems you can only "join cd tracks" when you are in the process of downloading them from a CD onto your iTunes playlist?

The help menu is correct.

Hi, InsaneCharlie.
Thanks for the question. I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes. If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

Download iPod songs, playlists and photos to another iTunes (PC user)

Hi there, could anyoner please help ?.. I need to download my iPod info (including songs of course) to another iTunes, every time I connect the iPod a message appears telling it will be restored, with an option.. all I want to do is to download my playlists and other stuff to another iTunes, thanks.!

If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting to a different PC and iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

HT4914 If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library?

If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library? I have over 100 playlists and even more music not in playlists and I don't want to download all of it to my phone.
Thanks

First read this: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup
So, before you sell your Mac make sure all your personal data is backed up to an external HDD then put that HDD in a safe place. When you return you will be able to use it to restore your data to the new Mac.
Before you sell your computer you must restore the original version OS X that was installed on it when you bought it. See this Apple KB article for how to prepare your Mac for sale: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5189.

How do I get iTunes songs which were downloaded from external back-up drive to play on new computer and is there a way to get my play lists back?

When I try to play a song from my re-installed iTunes library, I get the error message: "Song xxx could not be played because original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" > "Locate" or "Cancel." When I click on "Locate" I can't figure out how to get the song to play from any of the places that were "located." The path is C:\users\Janet\libraries\music\iTunes
However, iTunes songs chosen from my library will play in iTunes (current version) when I have the external back-up drive plugged in! I recently copied my backed-up iTunes library from my external back-up drive to a new computer.
Most of the songs, but not all, magically appear in Windows Media Player and I can play those just fine.
I can see my iTunes library in the newest version of iTunes, recently downloaded to new computer, but can't play songs without connecting to the external back-up drive - so maybe there is something else on that external drive that needs to be on my C: drive?
I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, Windows 7, 64-bit. My previous computer was Windows Vista. Before Vista, I had XP.
Back when I had XP, I wanted to purchase some songs to download to my computer. Because iTunes had the ability, I used it to create a massive library of songs, most of which were ripped from my CDs. I don't have an iPod and iTunes worked fine for creating playlists and then burning them to CDs.
Also, I'd like to know if there is a way to get back my playlists.
And another thing - in the older version of iTunes, there was a folder in the lists on the left-hand side of the screen where I could click to see all the songs I had purchased. I'd like to get that ability back if possible.
In hindsight, iTunes was probably not the best choice for me to build my music library in a Windows operating system, but it seemed to be the best choice at the time. I really wish I could convert all the songs to mp3 format.
I have been working with computers since the days of DOS, black and white screens, and no mice. The first computer I bought for my own use at home was a Mac and it had "Flying Toasters" as a screensaver. (I miss that screensaver.) It did not have a tower and I believe they called it a laptop, even though the thing was as big as a suitcase and probably weighed around 30 pounds. However, I am by no means a computer expert. In other words, pretend you're trying to tell your mother how to do what I am asking. =)
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

HT1719 My itunes doesn't list "devices" above the playlist. How can I sync the music I have purchased to my new ipod shuffle if it doesn't give me the option? The shuffle is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens. Help please!

My itunes account doesn't list "devices" above the playlist, as the syncing instructions give. How can I sync the itunes I have purchased & downloaded to my computer, to my ipod shuffle? The device is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens. Shouldn't the computer recognize the device? It doesn't. Please help!

As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices. Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop). Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer. See if there's any improvement,
If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power). An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device.
