ITunes is not recognizing blank CDs

iTunes is not recognizing blank discs. The computer shows it with other programs, but it doesn't show on iTunes.

I had (have) same problem. I dinked around for a couple of hours and even though I didn't have a blank CD showing in Itunes I decided to try and burn a CD anyway. Sure enough, it worked! Am I crazy or didn't it used to display blank CD's? Seems like this just happend. So, if it doesn't "see" your CD, trying burning anyway. This happened by the way "out of nowhere", can't explain what caused it.

  • Blank DVD not recognized, blank CDs ok

    Every time I insert a blank DVD it gets spit out after about a minute. Blank CDs work fine and can be mounted in the Finder and burned. I've tried swapping out the Superdrive and get the same results. Anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks Ian. I had not considered the media itself being an issue since I've had successful burns with this pack of DVD-Rs before. But it turns out these DVD-Rs (TDK) won't burn on any of my Macs now. I tried them on a Mac Pro, MacBook Pro and iMac. These DVD-Rs all worked fine in past, but they fail now. I tried DVD+R DL discs and they worked fine, as did single layer DVD+R. I'm wondering if there is some issue with DVD-R media now? I think I'll stick with DVD+R media for now.

  • ITunes dose not indicate blank cd!

    Please help....
    Since the past two iTunes updates, iTunes will not recognize blank cd's. I thought this problem would be fixed on this last update, but sadly it wasn't. I can't burn to disc when it dosen't recognize blank media. It reads from music cd's just fine, and there is no problem uploading them into iTunes. Again, please help!

    This is the only one that looks like it could be it:
    If your blank CD or DVD doesn't appear in the iTunes window or if your burning preferences aren't being saved, make sure you have the appropriate privileges to burn CDs on your computer.
    I'm the only one using this computer, and I'm on Vista. What would I have to change? All my drivers and firmware are updated, and I've burned discs with other programs, so it's not my drives...especially since I was able to burn with these drives when I was still on XP.

    I am using a 2003 eMac and am running on Mac OSX  vs 10.4.11. I amrunning iTunes 8.2.1 (6) and not able to upgrade iTunes on this computer. iTunes is not recognizing music I have purchased and when I try to connect when it request me to I get the following error message:
    Cannot complete  iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed (-42404)
    Please help.

    Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore.  I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere?  Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

  • ITunes is not recognizing or connecting to network

    My iTunes is not recognizing or connecting to my network. Everytime I try to update my iPhone 4S to the its latest OS software or update my apps via iTunes Store, it prompts up an error message as:
    'The iPhone software update server could not be contacted.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
    My net otherwise is working to the best of its abilities without any glitches whatsoever.
    If I were to change any settings or anything else, please let me know.
    Your help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Try restarting your iPad : press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider; then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. If the book download doesn't re-start, then you could try downloading the book to your computer and then syncing/copying it across to your iPad.
    You could also go to Settings, General, Reset All Settings.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location?  Ideas?

    Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location?  Ideas?

    Hello there, Underwriter.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Particularly of note for your situation:
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
