ITunes 8.2 will not burn or import CD's

I had to upgrade to iTunes 8.2 to work with my iPhone. Since I did that, I am not able to burn or import store bought CD's on my Sony Vaio. I keep getting error messages to reinstall iTunes because some files are missing from from my registry and it may be due to some other CD burning software. That does not fix the problem.
I have to use Windows Media Player as my default now (which I hate!) and iTunes only to sync my iPhone. This is driving me crazy!!

When you moved the original drive to the lower bay, you must change the drive jumper from Master to Slave, failing to do so will likely render the drive unusable as the system cannot "see" it. Try reset the jumper on the back of the drive, and perhaps you can use that for CD's..
Like Perryb, I want to install a Pioneer DVD superdrive into my G4 (in my case a 115D) and was going to place it in the Zip drive bay. Thus two questions:
1 Can the new drive be placed as the lower drive or do I have to move the combo drive down and place it as the upper drive?
2 If I do move the combo down, where can I find the information about resetting the jumper from master to slave? (The profiler identifes the ATA drives as Combo = 0 and Zip = 1)
3 Do I have to set anything on the new superdrive before installation?
Thanks,

ITunes will not burn or import CDs

I recently installed iTunes 7. Out of nowhere it won't Burn or import CDs. When I open iTunes a message states "can't burn or import because CD Configuration folder is not in the same folder as iTunes". My CD configuration folder is in the same folder as my iTunes folder. I attempted to reinstall iTunes, but with no avail. Then I deleted the CD Configuration folder and iTunes Setup folder, then I reinstalled iTunes, but again I had no success. If you have any pointers please inform me. I'm really confused because what iTunes is telling me is wrong, is actually how it is supposed to be. Recently I've downloaded a DVD Ripping Software and Nero Software, so perhaps that has something to do with it. But anyway if you have any solutions let me know.

Hi Innonut;
You are asking your iTune question on the Leopard forum. If you would report in the Windows iTunes Forum, you might get more response there.

The latest version of itunes (8.0) will not burn cds for me

Ive been able to burn a few but the majority of the time Im just wasting cds. I click burn disc, insert blank disc, the mac then checks playlist. Then it says its writing playlist, but nothing happens. It sounds like the mac is working on it and when I cancel the burn it takes FOREVER for it to spit the cd back out. Can I just download the last version I had somehow? Im not liking this one.

Hello,
It's important to keep your system software up to date. You indicated you are running 10.4.7. You need to be on 10.4.11. Go to System Preferences/Software Update and follow the instructions.
After your updates are finished, close Software Update from the Menu Bar, File/Quit. Next, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MactinoshHD 10.4.x in the panel on the left, then select the FirstAid tab, then click:
Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished, Quit Disk Utility. Reboot your Mac, launch iTunes and try to burn a CD.
Also, if the above does not help, try this: Quit iTunees. Locate this file: com.apple.iTunes.plist
it's here: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to your Desktop. Launch iTunes and see if you can successfully burn to a CD. If you can, drag that .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash, and reboot. It just means your iTunes preference file was corrupted.

ITunes backup disks will not burn

I really need to backup my music somehow, because I have way too much music to lose if my computer dies anytime soon.
I selected 'Backup to CDs' from File, and it openewd the disk drive, asking me to insert a blank CD. I put the blank CD in and closed it. Then it said 'Checking Media...' and after it was done with that, the apple icon appeared again and it did nothing.
I tried using another CD. It still did not work.
Help?
Or is there another way to backup my music WITHOUT making thousands of audio cds?

Okay, well I got tired of waiting for someone to answer my plead. So I took a chance in trusting the itunes update. I downloaded it and installed it, and now it seems to be able to back up disks. Right now it just says 'Checking items for backup' which is what it's supposed to say.
I have a huge library, so this is taking forever. I will let people know whether or not it works or not.

My itunes will not burn cd. telling me new burning software added may cause this

I recently had Windows Vista put on my computer. I had Roxio put on it also. I tunes will not burn my playlist because of this. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes . this does not correct the problem. I tuunes is telling me there is no disc burner found.

Hello bacovino,
From what you describe it sounds like you are getting this error message when trying to burn a CD in iTunes even after uninstalling the iTunes application:
"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 CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
I recommend uninstalling not only iTunes but its associated softwares as well, as outlined in the following article:
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3299
iTunes installs a device filter which helps it work with your optical drive. If this device filter is missing, you will see the message mentioned above. To resolve this issue, follow the steps below to reinstall iTunes and put the device filter back in place:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If the issue persists after re installing iTunes again, there is additional troubleshooting in the article that involves installing the device filter in Windows, which it walks you through.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I am trying to burn some cds from my playlist on itunes, but my playlist shows many of my songs in light print and says that it will not burn because it is not a file, these are all songs I have purchased quite a while ago, how do i get them to files?

If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

Led Zeppelin mothership cd will not play or import on itunes

The Led Zeppelin CD-Mothership will not play or import onto iTunes, I have not had a problem before, I have all Led Zeppelin CD's on iTunes & thousands of other tracks. Any help would be appreciated.

Some CD's are crippled with invalid error codes or similar schemes to try to prevent copying. Is error checking turned on or off? Try with both settings. Do the CD's play OK in a regular player or alternate computer? Search for the title plus "copy protection" to see if there are known issues with the CD in question. (Yes there are!)
On the occasions this has happened to me I have returned the CD to the store for a refund.

ITunes 12.0.1.26 on 2009 Mac Pro will not burn disc - error message medium write error

Just upgraded to iTunes 12.0.1.26 on 2009 13" Mac Pro with Lion. Will not burn music disc and getting error message "The burn failed because of a Medium Write Error". Is this version of iTunes compatible with Lion and if not how can I revert to previous version.

Track Will Not Burn From i Tunes

- I have one track on an album in iTunes that will not burn to cd because it is not authorized. The rest of the album will burn fine. The track will not play on iTunes or my iPod.
- My computer is authorized and long has been.
- I did not buy the track from iTunes. I burned the entire album as one set from the original commercial 2-cd set.
- Unlike the rest of the tracks, the one in question says "unavailable" in the track time (length).
- OS X 10.8
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thank you!

Whether your computer is authorized or not shouldn't have anything to do with being able to play your own music, added from a CD.
When you check the path Musuc > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music is the track you want showing up? You could try moving it to another folder, then re-importing it to iTunes.
You should also try opening it with another media player just to make sure the data hasn't been corrupted - though it's probably an iTunes problem.
The obvious other thing is to try and add the track directly from the CD if you have it around.

One cd will not burn

All of my CDs that I import and burn are at least 12 yrs old. I use Staples generic 1x-52x CD-R. Burn is set at max possible( for my Superdrive that is 16x). I have no problem importing into iTunes 6 bunchanumbers. I burn by making a playlist and clicking Burn. I have found that one CD out of the six I have tried will import and play, but will not burn. I get the error message that says it can't and will not retry.
Is this due to some sort of burn copy protection on that particular disk, or should I change to 16x setting or lower, or use a different import setting for just that disk? I have looked thru numerous posts here and have not found any that are like this "one disk" problem. I doesn't seem to me that a copy protection would work this way. Would it work on an 8x or 4x setting?
The recording is for the "Tomato" label, mfg and dist by Rhino, artist is singer Helen Schneider with the Bob Brookmeyer big band, recorded in Germany.
I've burned lots of data and movie cds and dvds, but this is my first foray into making copies of some of my collection for friends using iTunes.
B&W G3 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 512 ram, iTunes 6++, 80GB

It's conceivable that something like that might have happened in Toast, but not in iTunes. I'm going to try to burn with one track missing from the playlist, at 4x and see what happens. ClonyXXL did not report any copy protection in red, so even though I don't read German without a dictionary at hand, I don't think its copy protected, it's something else. It's funny the CD was made in Germany , and Clony XXL is German, you'd think it would help me, and maybe it has, but i can't read the notes.

hmmmm. you've got rather a lot of burning software entries in there. (it looks like you've got some kind of Roxio product installed, as well as itunes and Alcohol 120%.)
by way of experiment, try the technique described in the following document (remember to take a backup of your device filter registry keys first).
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
do you still get the itunes message with just the iTunes filters in place?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
