Itunes 8.1 for Mac CD Burning Issues??

Is anyone getting CD issues with this new 8.1 iTunes for Mac OS??
I am currently unable to burn any CDs after downloading the new iTunes 8 for Windows on two PCs and the CD burner on my MacBook is the last one in the household I have that will function in iTunes. I can't take the chance that this new 8.1 for Mac will blow my CD out.
If anyone has issues .. if you want to list them here .. I would be most appreciative.
Thanks

Yes .. that is why I am really not into the idea of downloading 8.1 into my Mac and have it bust out my CD/DVD driver in there. I am currently downloading 8.1 into my PC .. I figure the CD/DVD is already screwed beyond belief and I have nothing to lose.
It is just very apparent after heading to the GEAR site that we are only supposed to request help via Apple and so far - sorry support Mac users .. there seems no one who can figure this out .. nor - frankly - should they. I mean - HELLO!?!?! Apple has an actual paid tech department, right? And their software broke it .. or their vendors software broke it .. why should we have to figure it out ourselves or EVEN WORSE - PAY to have phone support fix it. Again .. I didn't break it .. they did. Why the &^#% should I have to fix it.
It is just very frustrating and this was what I was trying to avoid in transitioning myself and my company out off of a Windows atmosphere and into an Apple OS one. Well.. if this is the kind of thing I can look forward to when I am fully transitioned and have a huge issue .. no thanks.

Airtunes on iTunes 8.1 for Mac fails with AppleTV

I'm stumped. Airtunes works in every case, EXCEPT iTunes 8.1 for Mac to Apple TV. It worked before the iTunes 8.1 update or the Apple TV 2.3.1 update, which I applied within a week, and did not try in between.
SYMPTOM
Apple TV Airtunes show as speakers in iTunes as they did before. I can select them, but immediately after it defaults to the previous selection. I can use Airtunes over my Airport Express just fine. I can do Apple TV to Apple TV Airtunes, and that works. I can even use Windows iTunes on my Mac on Windows XP, and that works fine. In other words, same networking, different issues.
Here's what I've got:
One Airport Express, v7.4.1
Two Apple TVs, version 2.3.1, connected by Ethernet
Two Macs, OSX 10.5.6, iTunes 8.1 (50)
One Windows XP virtual machine on VMWare Fusion, running iTunes 8.1
Setup is networked via Apple Airport Extreme, and a 10/100 hub
Combination I've tried:
Mac iTunes 8.1 to Apple TV: NO
Windows iTunes 8.1 to Apple TV: Yes
Apple TV to Apple TV: Yes
Mac itunes, Windows iTunes or Apple TV to Airport Express: Yes
Troubleshooting:
Power cycled Apple TV
Turned off Airtunes, turned back on on Apple TV
Removed registration on Apple TV for all itunes libraries
Setup Apple TV again with iTunes library.
Any ideas?

Yes, that's exactly the problem I have. I have done additional troubleshooting.
I used another drive to bring up an alternate Mac OS X on my iMac. I tried 8.0.2, it worked. I then upgraded to 8.1. That worked as well. I tried creating a new account on my two machines that don't work, and that failed.
So then I tried removing iTunes, using these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
I also removed my iTunes library on my laptop, which contains nothing. Even after completely removing iTunes and my library, I still could not connect to the Apple TV using Airtunes.
It doesn't appear many other users have the same problem, including my brother who has a similar setup. At this point, I'm wondering if some sort of third-party software may be interfering. Here's the software I have installed on my machine that might have modified the Kernel:
VMWare Fusion
FireFox
Lotus Mobility Connect
Lotus Notes
Aperture
Final Cut Express
HP Printer software
Microsoft Office 2008
Open Office
Omnifocus
SuperDuper
Java - forgot what I did, but I needed to install a Java package to get a browser-based application to work months ago.
These are the only programs I have installed on both machines. Do you have any of these programs in common?

You can download it (it's just a file) but you won't be able to install/run it with 10.5.8.

ITunes 7.3.1 (3) - odd burn issues after update

I'm using the latest version of iTunes running OS X 10.4.9
When I try to burn a disc, I get the following error...
The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
Before I upgraded, I could burn. And now, no burn.
I tried the suggestion of moving the following file to the desktop after you completely close iTunes. Worked for a few people, not for me though.
Open HD - User - Library - Preferences - com.apple.iTunes.plist
So - I need some advice from you all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Itunes drivers missing for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing

Hello,
I have been dealing with the following problem for a couple days now, I have searched all over the internet, talked to friends and even Apple tech support but the problem has not been solved.
Whenever I access itunes, I get the following 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 installing other burning software. Please reinstall itunes."
I have now reinstalled itunes several times and completely removed then reinstalled as instructed, but the message continues to appear and itunes will not allow me to burn cds. Tech support advised to create a new user account on my computer which I did, it seemed to work but all I can do is import music. I cannot burn any. All my settings and playlists aren't on this account. But, are on my other one where the first message appeared.
Can anyone help? Please. I have struggled with this and cannot figure out what else to do except reset my computer to its factory setting, but would really like to avoid doing so. Please help.
I have a new HP computer running Windows Vista, I have never experienced any problems with itunes until now. I bought a new 120GB ipod in November and it works fine. Oh, I have gotten rid of Nero which was installed when this problem first occurred.
Thank you.

Hmm. "iTunes registry error Vista fix burning and importing issues". play around with the search words till you find something relevant. Not sure, but following is something that might help. I am not a vista user so I can't help much. Good luck.

*But be warned that messing with registry might be fatal to your current OS intallation. So think all the way through before you do anything. I think you can keep a back of the registry so if something goes wrong you can restore it, but thats in XP, not sure about vista.*

Windows Media Player for MAc and other issues

I just bought a mac a week ago.
Decided to do the switch since the person at the store told me I could use the win XP interface. Anyway after installing the win xp, i realised my laptop doesnt not recognise the drivers.I got no sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
Since I need to listen to some online lecture recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player for mac ..it still doesnt work...
I am truly sad to see the difficult in using a macbook and i kinda regretted getting it. It just getting on my nerves....
can someone please guide me or do you have any similar problem?
Thanks

sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service
pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
Yes the service pack is an issue if you're using Boot Camp to run XP. If you don't have SP2, you can try running Parallels Desktop (http://www.Parallels.com) which doesn't require SP2.
Since I need to listen to some online lecture
recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use
it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept
telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above
and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows
Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player
for mac ..it still doesnt work...
Some streaming media sites are not compatible with Mac OS X. Are these online lectures for school? I would simply ask the person running the class to help you get support. They can tell you pretty quickly if it's possible to listen with a Mac. If it's not, you should be able to do it from XP with either Parallels or Boot Camp (provided you have an SP2 version of XP).

There are times that using a Mac (with 5% market share) is frustrating because many websites don't follow standards properly. If the web designers blow it off and only support Windows, 95% of the users are still happy and don't complain. That's lazy and infuriating but it happens quite a lot. There's even a name for it: Mac Marginalization.
So you will run into this from time to time. The best solution on the Macbook is to get one of the Windows environments up and running properly. But you should still complain LOUDLY to the people who set up the bad website. The only way this will change is if users let lazy site administrators know that they are MAD about it.

BB DM for Mac -- Calendar Syncing issues and now no sync at all

I have a Bold 9000. Was beginnning to experience frequent errors with PocketMac so went to BB to look for upgrades. Downloaded new DM for mac -- PocketMac having been eliminated and assuming that BB would not post downloads with major bugs. Installed DM, set up sync. Softward told me there was insufficient memory for my iTunes playlist (already on my phone with PocketMac) but I sync'd anyway (figuring that if I couldn't get music, that was the least of my worries -- should have been my first clue). Sync required me to turn on iSync to convert Entourage calendar entries to iCal (which I do not use, but which BB DM requires). Although Bold, Entourage and iCal were all set to Pacific Time Zone -- calendar entries from Entourage moved 7 hours forward in iCal and on BB. After several hours of attempted fixes, I uninstalled BB DM and attempted to reinstall PocketMac (by retrieving software in my backup files because it is no longer available for free download on BB) only to learn that the uninstall evidently left PocketMac with an inability to recognize my phone. NOw I can't sync at all and I'm left with a screwed up calendar to boot.
What is BB going to do about this mess? Incidentally, my music is still all on the phone (despite deselecting the original playlist on the first sync when the software warned there was insufficient memory) with random duplicates of some of the songs.

I just fixed the 7 hour sync problem. The time zone on my Blackberry was set to Casablanca! Once I changed it to the correct time zone and resynced my calendar everything showed up in the right place.

BT Cloud App for Mac - Upload freeze issues?

Anyone experiencing freeze issues during upload sessions?
I just downloaded the app yesterday and kicked off an upload of 20K (ish) files. It progressed nicely through the day, but clearly froze at some point during the night. Following a reboot I've seen a further freeze in the last couple of hours and resorted to closing/re--opening the app.

Hi there,
Thanks for replying. I have had issues with this continually throughout the upload. I've managed to back-up just over 8Gb since Saturday afternoon, but not without a bit of coaxing (closing and re-starting the app every time it appears to freeze.). In fact my upload has just finished within the last few minutes. I've left it on after I've gone to bed on two evenings, but it's clear by morning that the app froze at a much earlier point. I'm not on Infinity yet, but I do get a rock solid 1Mb upload so whilst the upload rate isn't wild, it would be adequate if not for the reliability issue.
Basically the client seems to freeze after a certain time, but there doesn't seem to be any particular pattern in terms of when it happens.
I'm really excited about using BT Cloud, having had problems with several other similar services. I love the fact that it doesn't mess with your local file copy, and that it doesn't expect the user to work 'in the cloud', and that it iteratively looks for changes and just deals with them.
The iPad app seems pretty good, other than the wildly random way the sub folders in my Documents folder display. I have a lot of sub folders. I know there's a search bar, but still, a simple alphabet order approach would be better.
Happy to provide any further input wrt the Mac app stability issue.

Outlook for Mac IMAP Account Issues

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me!
I'm having mega-issues with my setting up a new IMAP account I have through 123-reg. I'm on Outlook for Mac 2011 v14.4.8
The story so far:
I set up the account and had it working (after originally being given the incorrect password by tech support, they gave me the right one and it then worked). I've then used the account for about a week with some teething issues like send/receive taking longer than my other IMAP account to load and occasionally having to close and reboot the Outlook for Mac app for it to work. Also the regular error message coming up saying it can't sync and wanting me to re-input my login info.
Now, it just hasn't synced at all since Sunday and in the account settings the dot is the dreaded yellow!
I feel like I've tried everything. Setting i'm using are:
Incoming:
imap.123-reg.co.uk - port is 993
TICKED - Use SSL to connect (Recommended)
Outgoing:
smtp.123-reg.co.uk - port is 465
TICKED - Override Default Port
TICKED - Use SSL to connect (Recommended)
More Options:
Use Incoming Server Info
Any help would be much appreciated - don't really know where else I can go for assistance?!

Hello,
Since the issue also happens on the user's mobility, it can be more than a Entrouge client side issue.
The first thing come to my mind is the nichname cache which still resides on the user's mailbox. Please try clearing it up and see if it works.
Thanks,

ITunes 8.2 for Mac: cannot access iTune

Hi
I need help. I am using a Mac OS X 10.5.7 with iTunes 8.2.
I connect to the internet using a wireless connection and i can connect to the internet using internet browser etc but when i try and connect to the iTunes store i cannot.
I have tried to fix this problem by:
a.) allowing all connections through the firewall
b.) allowing application access through keychain
nothing works.
Can someone help me?

Lost 1985:
You are not alone.
I have had the same problem since June 8t/09, after I downloaded iTunes 8.2 onto my MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.7.

MS Outlook 2010/2011 for Mac - outgoing email issues

Hey guys - Hoping someone can help. I use Mac OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite and have never, even pre yosemite, been able to send email from my Outlook. I use Outlook "2010" - but technically speaking it is MSO 2010 - 2011 Edition for Mac.Here's a screenshot: After recently upgrading I figured I would really pour myself into figuring this thing out and I've been playing with all kinds of settings every which way I can, based on what is literally a plethora of forum links from people with similar issues. Cutting to the chase, I would really love to set up my Comcast account via IMAP, but when I tried doing that this morning, I got so bumbled in errors and messups that I was unable to even receive email, so I am currently back at square one with these settings, which allow me to receive email on Comcast, but not send email outgoing: Screenshot of the error I receive when trying to send: I'd be very grateful for any help - currently having family email me on my personal account and receiving it while sitting at my desk at work, but still having to either A) login to the online webmail to respond or respond via my iPhone 6. ..... as you can imagine it is both frustrating and cumbersome. Thanks, Evan

It seems that you have all the correct information but the password is still being rejected. This can happen sometimes if the web login password and IMAP password get out of sync.
To sync the passwords, go to https://customer.xfinity.com/Secure/UserSettings/Flows/ChangePassword and login to your account, then follow the change password instructions on the resulting page.
Once you change your web password (which should force a sync with the IMAP password), you can either:
1) go to outlook and try with the new password in outlook
or:
2) use that same link to change the password back to your old one and then try outlook with the original password
Please let us know if this procedure works or not.

Where to locate iTunes 7.2 for Mac?

I need iTunes 7.2 for a second generation Shuffle to use with a Mac runnning 10.3.9. The only download I see at Apple's site is iTunes 8.0 and that is not compatible with Panther.
Thanks
susan

Jim, thanks for the link. the "download now" icon did not appear when viewed on the Mac running 10.3.9. I checked the link w XP and the icon was prominent.
Back on th Mac I hovered the mouse pointer in the area where the icon was visible with XP and was able to download 7.7.1 to the Mac.
The install was quite challenging. Installer did not run easily. I did sync the Second Generation Shuffle to that Mac. Unfortunately all music was deleted from the Shuffle but music in the iTunes 7.7.1 library was not downloaded to the Shuffle.
I will try again over the weekend as time permits and post back with progress. Thanks again for your help.
