ITunes and Gapless CD Burning.. iTunes Problem or drive problem?

I've been trying without success to burn a gapless audio cd of a concert. I lost my original burned CD and am trying to burn another one, however this time around, im on a different Mac (before I was using a 1Ghz Emac G4 now Im using the 08 MacBook Pro w/superdrive)
Ive been reading about this issue which has lead me to no solutions. I have everything set correctly as I did before (set the album and tracks to Gapless and have the gap between tracks set to none when burning) but still get a "hiccup" between tracks.
One thing I did learn is that in order to burn a Gapless audio CD, the burning program and the drive need to support Disc At Once (DAO). I read that iTunes does not support this, but I know I was able to burn gapless successfully before. Here are the specs for my SuperDrive according to the system profiler..
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS21N:
Firmware Revision: SA14
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media:
Type: DVD-R
ID: CMC MAG. AM3
Blank: No
Erasable: No
Overwritable: No
Appendable: No
And I just updated iTunes to the most recent version. Is there any way around the hiccups?? Any suggestions and possible solutions are welcome!

Weird and aggravating user-burned DVD problem.

Hi,
I'm experiencing a very weird and annoying problem with my self-written data DVDs.
Basically, when I wrote a couple of data-DVDs today, I cannot seem to copy the files from these DVDs on a Mac via the normal way anymore. Basically, when I mount my DVD I see all my files just fine, but when I wish to copy one to my computer I get the forbidden-cursor (the one with the black arrow and a white stopsign). Now the weird part is that if I select multiple files I can actually copy them to the hard-drive, but with a strange caveat; namely the file that I selected last will not be copied over.
This was the first time my self-written DVDs showed this behaviour, so to check I dug out an older DVD which I knew worked perfectly a year ago. But lo and behold, it now also displays this behaviour. What's more, it seems suddenly all three Macs in this house decided do treat my DVDs (old and new) in this weird way. The lone Windows pc downstairs otoh actually did just fine and allowed me to copy single files from the disc with no problem.
But that's not all. If I insert such a DVD and later on insert a self-written CD, this CD suddenly shows the same behaviour. Only after relaunching the finder will this CD work correctly again (sadly, this doesn't help with the DVDs).
To write my DVDs I use an external LaCie d2 16x DVD+/-RW (completely up to date with respect to its firmware) with Toast Titanium 7.0.1 on an eMac G4 1ghz running Tiger 10.4.7 .
I use either DVD+R or -R (both show this problem) and write them using Toast's Mac & PC data disk option. Between the three Macs here at home the only constant factors are the Apple-supplied system updates, leading me to believe there is either an undocumented burning bug in Toast or there is a problem in Tiger 10.4.7 .
A google-search did not bring up anything, neither a confirmation nor a solution for this problem. My question now is; has anyone here ever experienced this problem and found a solution (or have at least an idea what the underlying problem could be)?
Thanks for any and all replies,
Tim
P.S.: I figured that perhaps there was a sort of permission problem on the mount volumes, so I ran the fix permissions routine but to no avail sadly.
eMac G4 (1 Ghz) ATI-graphics, combo-drive, 512 Mb RAM, 160 GB HDD Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Update:
It seems that older DVDs do in fact still work ok when one relaunches the finder, just like I mentioned for cd's in my above post. So seemingly the DVDs written today somehow seem to 'corrupt' the Finder with their behaviour.
In fact the last 'good' backup DVD I wrote was in february of this year, so whatever is causing this must have happened between then and now. This gives me the impression that there must be an incompatibility between 10.4.7 and either Toast 7.0.1 or with the firmware on my DVD±RW drive.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tim

ITunes LP purchased and unable to burn onto a CD to play in my car?!?

iTunes LP purchased and unable to burn onto a CD to play in my car. I have searched and read every question in the Apple Support Communities and so far no answer has been given. Please help!

If the steps in the Apple article didn't solve the problem, some people have found the advice in this post works for them. I Think you can start at step 5 then 9.

I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
Any suggestions?

I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.

How come whenever i plug my iPhone 5 into the computer the device will not show up on my itunes. This is the first time that i have done it since i updated to iOS7 and before i had no problem but now it just wont work.

I keep getting error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a CD from itunes. It keeps my CD and won't eject it and says "cancelling burn" forever then itunes locks up and my cd is ruined and NO songs on it.

i can't burn cd's in iTunes anymore. I get error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a playlist. Songs from my own cd's, or bought in iTunes (have not burned 7x's as I can't BURN any cd's at all!), Then my cd gets stuck in the drive. and it says "cancelling burn" forever and then itunes freezes up. I have a Dell with Windows 7.
-I've slowed down the burn as slow as it can go
-I have bought 3 different brands of cd's
-i have the latest version of iTunes.
Can someone help me?

I have Windows 7 on a Dell. Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2). Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode. This has worked for me. I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc. These ideas did not work. Compatability mode works.

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
Select the folder Music > iTunes in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

HT204053 I have iTunes ID and Apple ID. Having problems! Can't consolidate into one?

I have read many support postings on this, but none help! Gaaaa!
I have my iTunes/AppStore ID pointed to my Yahoo email.
I later set up an iCloud email account (of course with "@iCloud.com" domain).
When I try to access iCloud email, I get a prompt to set up my iCloud account
on this iPad. I already have it set up! What the heck?
I assume it might be confused because I have two "accounts", but I really have no idea.
Theu are separate functionally and by name.
So I tried to change my ITunes account (used to purchase apps) to use my iCloud email addy.
Apple says I can't use it, because it's an account owned by Apple.
What in the frog is wrong with using an Apple-owned account? That seems best to me.
But I'm afraid that I would lose access to my purchased apps, even tho AppStore should know
(or be notified) that I have just renamed my account, not transferred it to a different device, etc.
I'll bet others have similar problems, but haven't been able to find out how they have solved theirs.
(I also lost six months of Notes a while back, perhaps related to this problem.)

TThanks, randers4, for helping me out.
(I'm re typing this because in switching back and forth between apps
I lost all 8 paragraphs that I typed earlier. And I'm getting
ttwo capital letters at beginning of sentences. Odd.)
I tried your steps, and they worked. Cool. But why hide this functionality?!
Like so many features in iOS, it's not apparent to most users.
I used to write tech docs for HP, so I do understand the RTFM concept. Ha!
THe initial problem arose when I tried to copy some photos
from iPad to OneDrive and Google Drive.
I tried to select multiple files, and then Copy to a diff cloud drive. No dice.
Only options were to Mail, Copy, Print, AirDrop, etc. But no choices for other cloud drives
appeared there, like I expected. (I thought they were there in the past.)
SO I read support forums, and one said to use Cloud Opener. It worked, but
it is so convoluted (in my mind). In Windows, I just multi-select files and
DRag+Drop them where I like. Simple.
AM I missing something, like some metaphor of the OS, that would be
really helpful?
ANd back to an original question--can I merge my iTunes login (Yahoo username) with my
APple ID (iCloud username)?? I want just one password to remember, and change, but
I fear losing all my apps. And I couldn't make the change to an iCloud email addr
because iOS said it couldn't be an Apple-related domain. This seems so arbitrary.
HElp, please?
oh, and iOS asked me to login again, even tho I already was.

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab. Everything else seems to work okay in itunes. I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone. Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay. The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps. The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up. I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added. If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it. I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there. I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems. HELP.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!
