Itunes backup disc error

I made a complete back-up of my itunes library (I have the disc). After reformatting my computer and loading all my programs back in; I started to reload my itunes. itunes took all of my back-up disc except for one (1). All of the information is on the disc but it is having trouble loading from it. My question is: How do I use the information on this disc that will not load in the back-up procedure into my itunes without having to go locate the disc from my collection stored away in a box? I can read the information off the disc but just can not back it up into my itunes. Thanks.

I re-burned the backup disk using a brand new CD and iTunes on the laptop has opened it OK.

Can't import iTunes backup disc onto 2nd PC - error code (-69)

Hi, I've taken a data file backup CD from iTunes on my desktop and tried to import it into iTunes on my laptop. Have done this successfully before but this time I get "unkown error (-69)" in iTunes on the laptop and the CD won't open in iTunes. Both PCs are running the same version of iTunes (6.0.4.2); I can read the CD in Windows Explorer on the laptop, and the CD opens in iTunes on the desktop wihout any problem.
Any further info required?
Thanks in advance for your help

Will PC DVD iTunes Backup Discs work in MacBookPro (PC to MAC transfer)?

The question is simple, I hope the answer is too. I plan on buying a new MacBookPro (MBP)shortly and want to transfer my music from my PC to the Mac. My library isn't that big and I can burn it to several (8) DVD's if I have to.
The question is, will a backup iTunes DVD from a PC work when put into a MBP?? Or, is there something I need to do to the format of the DVD's to make them work in a MBP after the PC has backed them up to DVDs?
Second question, I have copied the iTunes Library to an external HDD (NTFS format). Can I hook the external Drive up to the MAC and transfer the music that way? This would be easier of course.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you have plenty of ways to transfer all the files. I'm confused, though:
+I was hoping I could drag and drop the iTunes library file from my PC to a MBP by using a external hard drive+
The library file is just a database. You need to move the library content, too (all the music & movies).
If you have the standard itunes setup, all your itunes content should be on the PC in a folder named itunes media. It will have all the subfolders of movies, podcasts, music (arranged in yet more subfolders by artist, then album). That's all you really need to move to the MBP if you don't care about ratings, playlists, & play counts.

Help canceled itune backup disc drive wont open??

Why wont my disc drive open to remove disc?
I canceled the stupid itunes offer to back up my music and because said it'd take hours (Im an idiot I guess I didnt know it would take that long).
Now my disc drive wont open I tried ejecting it by my comp and clicking eject disc or open on disc drive didnt work.
Tried task mangager end, didnt do it.
Whats the deal? I will never try to back up itunes again, I mean they save my data I buy anyway.
Help!?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you ! It worked I was headed there but wasnt sure if that was the right action or not.
I was affraid it would just pick up where it left off.
UGH. That was my first experience with that in several years of pc use LOL.
If my disc drive works I guess it didnt hurt it? It was running kinda hard after but seems okay.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Boot into Recovery or from your installation disc and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

Old computer died - how do i upload my music library from my backup discs?

My old computer died, but I do have a set of itunes backup discs. I've downloaded iTunes to my new laptop, but when i put in my back up discs, it shows the music, but doesn't transfer it into my music library.
I can't find anywhere in itunes to "restore from backup discs". When I plugged in my iphone, it asked me if i wanted to erase the music on my phone and sync to the new emplty library. NOOOO
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Backup discs could not be read error occurred (-50). HELP!

I'm using itunes 9.0.2; running Windows XP on Oracle Virtual Box in Ubuntu 10.04. the latest itunes will not work and 9.0.2 is the closest i can get.
One out of 4 backup discs contains only the itunes purchases and it works but a message pops up: +'could not restore some of the files from the play-list'+, +'they may be on other backup discs'+ even though all the songs on disc play. I put the next disc in and the following message pops up: +'the disc cannot be read. an unknown error occurred (-50)'.+
Any ideas why this is happening? I loaded the discs in the latest itunes on another PC and it is fine. would it be that I may be using an older itunes then when i backed up the other discs and so not compatible? is that possible??
Any help on how to get all my music back on would be great!!

Then I'd like you to see if you can duplicate the issue with one of our sample from here:

vbnet_win_export.zip will probably be the best sample to use.

Hi. Can I use a set of backup discs I made in 2010 to restore my iTunes library with the latest version of iTunes?

Hi
I had my iTunes library on an external hard drive which has crashed. The data is unrecoverable. I've now bought a new laptop and I want to rebuild my iTunes library. I found a set of backup discs I created back in 2010 and although they don't represent everything I lost, they do comprise about 75% of the 25,000 songs in my library - so being able to restore using those would save me a huge amount of time.
The only problem is that when I load the disc, iTunes recognises it and even displays the tracks as a list - but I can't seem to find anyway of importing them other than manually importing each folder, which is only marginally better than having to re-import each individual CD again.
Previously when I've used the discs - i.e. the last time I changed laptops - I popped a backup disc in and iTunes automatically restored everything on it.
Is there a way of doing that that I'm missing, or has Apple decided, for whatever reason, to remove that functionality? I've Googled this problem and asked friends who are into Apple (the only Apple product I use is iTunes) but I don't seem to be able to get a clear answer.
Any help appreciated.

It seems the ability to restore from backup discs was removed along with the ability to create them. You will need to temporarily install an older version of iTunes (e.g. 10.3) to recover the media from those discs.
See Win 7 OS,64 Bit..Going back to ver 10.3 as I wish to use the cdbackup/restore version..I for a previous thread discussing this.

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

Hello Sonni,
It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38101
If this is not the case, use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I burn a DVD R disc with Windows Movie Maker? It indicates disc error on my DVD player. Someone thought it had something to do with Itunes? I reloaded Itunes 1 month ago and had no problem creating this disc then. Help

I have made several DVD+R discs in the past using Windows Live Movie Maker sucessfully. I made one about one month ago for my son's b-day. I am using the same discs as I had then. When I tried to burn the disc, it indicates that it is burning, however, when I insert it into the DVD player at home on our TV (like I"ve always done), it indicates disc error. Someone mentioned that the burner goes out every now and then when Itunes is uploaded? When I burn the disc, I can pull it up on my home and work computers, so I know that it is there.

Yes, you can distribute a burned disk of the project to those who can create duplicate disks. Or create a disk image of the iDVD project using the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
Then you can distribute the disk image to those who will burn the disks. For PCs you'll have to convert the .dmg file to a .iso file so they can burn it. This website describer how: Mac Help - Convert and Burn Mac .dmg or .img to .iso Windows PC-Compatible Disk Image
Suggest to them to burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
It would be prudent to rest your optical drive for about 30 minutes after burning 3 disks in a row. That will give the laser time to cool down before you start another batch.
