ITunes 9 will not burn a music CD that can play on a CD player

Ever since I upgraded to Itunes 9 I cannot copy (burn) a music CD that can be played on any CD player device other than the MacBook. I tried changing the format preference from .aif to .mpg4a but it still only creates CD's that cannot play. I am not pirating anything. I copied my own bought retail music CD's onto the MacBook and gave away the CD's to eliminate clutter. In the past I have been able to copy them for my own use for the car or the bedroom where there is no computer available. This is so frustrating. Please help!

does the format of the original song make a difference? for instance, if the data is mp3 data, but you try to burn an audio cd, will that mess it up? I dunno. it didn't use to, I dont think. I have no idea about iTunes9
You could convert the songs to .aif in QuickTime before hand just to make sure iTunes9 isn't messing it up.

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

Itunes library will not show new music

Since downloading itunes 11 my library will not show newly downloaded music. That includes music that was purchased from the itunes store. Has anyone else had this issue?

Some people have had success with turning off iTunes Match or logging out of the itunes store and logging in again

Itunes 10 will not burn cds

I have always been able to burn cds with itunes until recently. I always do the itunes updates when I am prompted to do so and I do not know after which update this problem began. I finally managed to burn a cd by downloading Roxio and dragging the songs from itunes to Roxio. This obviously proves that the problem is with itunes. It is ridiculous that Apple hasn't fixed this.

You know how did I get it?
1. Create a new playlist.
2. Drag here the songs you want to burn (15-20, depending)
3. Check in the lower bar how much MB are you going to burn. If it's more than 700MB (the aveeage of a regular cd, remove some some songs until set bit less than 700MB)
4. Highlight, point to the name of the list on the left hand side (under playlists), Right Click > Burn playlist to CD and get the known features (if you want pause, audio CD, data, etc.)
Why no icon? Maybe Apple doesn't want to push this funcion, to avoid the reproduction and copies as per music labels request. They keep the burn CD but very discret for the people who ask for it, who really inisist to also avoid the changing of music software. This is what I can deduce from the way we have to Discover the cd burning.
Anyway, remember that it's useful for Protected songs mostly, otherwise there some old programs (like Roxio) which are more powerful and you can make high end edition, mixings and so on and finally burn.
IMO, I just made this CD now upon a friend's request. Otherwise I just use USB drives.

I am trying to export a slide show from iPhoto with music from iTunes. it will not export the music file because i have not enabled iTunes plus. how do i do this?

i am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto using a song from itunes. an error message comes up and say it will not export the song because itunes plus has not been enabled. how do i do that?

It sounds like you tune is an .m4p file - p=protected and has DRM.
Previously you could get the + version which was a .m4a file with no protection/DRM.
The + option has been replaced with iTunes Match - $24.99 a year.
A better option if you have a .m4p file would be to repurchase the .m4a version from the iTS unless you want to update your entire library with iTunes match.

CD Burning locks up itunes and will not burn anything

Help! I have tried to burn single songs and playlists. Each time it locks my itunes up. It says that it is writing the songs but it never actually writes anything. When it times out it will unlock and make the sync noise but nothing is on the disk. I can burn songs from my Windows media list but not any from itunes. What can I do?

Hopefully you were foresighted enough to keep all your music in MP3 format. Then you can burn it in either iTunes or Windows Media Player, whichever is available at the moment.

After update itunes freezes will not burn playlist to disc

After I updated to the latest itunes, I cannot burn a playlist to a cd: message is Disc drive or software not found then itunes freezes up so I have to force close and start over. Any one else have this problem? Any ideas on how to fix?

after update mine now freezes when i switch to miniplayer, download apps, halfway though a song. in short it's unusable.
hope i can find a way to do a roll-back.

Will not Burn HELP

Hey I am working on a very simple SD DVD project. Simple meaning one track, one menu with one button.
I import the DV stream file with the accompanying aiff audio track and target the one button to the track. I click burn and it just says "formatting finished" but it has not done anything. I can do the BUild/Format and it will make an MPEG folder in the destination on my hard drive with the .dv.aiff file and a PAR folder with a .m2v.par file inside.
I am at a loss as to why it will not burn to a disc. Can it not find my disc drive?
Using a MacBook Pro 2.4
Final Cut Studio 1.0
DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3
My G5 is getting repaired or I would test to see if it is a problem with FCS 1.0 on an intel chip.

Hi

DVDSP 4.0.3 is not an universal binary application and will run under Rosetta in Intel machones, what can cause a lot of problems for sure !
Hope that helps !

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.

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

Itunes simply will not open! please tell me why...i need my music!

hello (hopefully) helpful peeps,
ok firstly, i know virtually nothing about computers...and mine is driving me nuts!!
i use an old powerbook (think it's from 2000). i have been having several problems with it over the past year, but the most annoying one is that itunes simply will not open. i have re-installed it several times but when i click on it, it just bounces twice and then...nothing. it says it is there in my applications folder- version 8.0.2, taking up 139.3 MB of my limited space (only 5.59 GB hard drive!) and it is completely useless to me! when i installed this latest version i checked the compatibility and it all seemed fine, so it can't be to do with that.
please can anyone help? ...i just want to listen to my music! :'(
ps. use BASIC computer talk please! think 'computers for dummies', none of this fancy lingo. ta!

LOL! good analogy...and i love mini coopers!
i am just as surprised as you that it is still hanging on despite it's age and size...tho it is driving me nuts and most of the time i want to take a sledge hammer to it!
my brother uses the exact same one, only i think he put a larger internal drive in his and he doesn't seem to have any problems (in fact this one used to be his til it broke one day, so he got another one, but managed to fix this one and gave it to me! it was second hand to begin with) i have had nothing but problems! but i just don't understand why itunes etc worked fine before when i haven't really used any more space, if anything i now use less cos i deleted practically everything!
so is it possible to get a larger internal drive (considering how old it is) or do you think it's not worth it? i have absolutely no idea how i would go about that, i suppose i would have to pay someone to fit it? i wouldn't dare open it up myself!
if they weren't so hideously expensive, i would just buy a lovely shiny new macbook since macs are def my preferred choice...tho i don't know why i am still loyal after all the grief it has given me!
cheers for being so helpful and sorry to ask all these questions but you seem to know your stuff...i'm clueless

ITunes will not open my music CDs when I place them in the DVD drive. I am using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with AV software turned off. No luck. Cannot upload my music CDs to iTunes library. Any ideas?

Using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes, the software will not recognize my music CDs when inserted in my DVD drive. I put a CD in the drive and nothing happens. iTunes does not have a "start" button, or some menu option to tell it to begin copying music to the library, so it just sits there. When I first installed iTunes, it would open the CDs, but I would get an error message after the first track started to transfer. Now, after a coupel uninstalls, disc cleanup, etc., nothing happens when I insert the CD. I am lost here and about to sell my new Ipod Classic because it is useless to me. Maybe I'm just too old to own something like this? Any (serious) suggestions would be appreciated.

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music

Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music to iPad 2 mini or iPhone 3GS after upgrade. I have tried a full restore and hard resets on the iPhone. I have tried multiple combinations of checking and unchecking the boxed related to transfers and automatic syncing.
I hit the sync button and only for a brief second does it appear to attempt to sync and then nothing further happens. It seems to abort with no error message. Any assistance would be appreciated or thumbs up from those with similar problems after a recent upgrade.
I am using OS 10.6.8.
Thank you!

i'm in the same boat. setting up my iPhone 6 as a new device (as i've done numerous of times with my other iDevices). i've had zero luck on transferring my library and playlist over to my new iPhone 6. I do nothing different than what i've done before. I'm experiencing the same thing as the OP. It goes through the steps pretty quick and the storage capacity at the bottom shrinks a few GB's for my playlist i'm adding, then it reverts back to what it's currently at and does nothing, no errors.

Itunes will not manually sync music with my Iphone 5

I am trying to manually sync music from ITunes and my Iphone5. From the Info screen I have selected the option to manually sync music and video files. From the music screen I have selected the option to sync selected artists, etc. I selected some of my music and was conscious to leave room for all the other items on my phone (per the storage bar at the bottom of the screen). When I select 'Sync' at the bottom of the screen, ITunes goes through all of the steps to sync and seems to complete. However nothing is copied over to my phone and I do not see any of the titles being transferred in the status bar. Additionally, I am receiving an error message that states I do not have enough disk space to complete the transfer and that an additional 4GB is required. However, I have a very small amount of music scheduled to transfer and the status bar that tracks available space still has over 7GB available with my selections made. I appear to have ample disk space yet the phone will not update any music at all. Please help if you can. Thank you.

I have the exact same problem. My Iphone is always synced by connecting to my computer because I don't want anything on the cloud. All of the sudden the yellow "other" part of the bar showing what's on my phone will fill up the right half of the bar even though I haven't added anything. I have emptied the phone of all it's content one category at a time to try to identify what the "OTHER" is. I remove all the apps, them Music and so on. It doesn't work and the yellow bar stays showing it is taking up half the space on my phone. So then I put the settings back the way they were, which should leave about a quarter of my storage space free. Then I do a reset of my phone and after two hours ( that's how long it takes) The "other" yellow bar goes back down to taking up about 1/20 of space on my IPhone even though I haven't made any changes. The only reason I sync at all is to add music to my phone that I've added to my main library on ITunes. This is so frustrating and a huge wast of my time! Can someone tell me haw to stop this please?
