ITunes Only Burns First Few Tracks....

When trying to burn a CD on iTunes it will only burn the first few songs onto the CD.
I have tried different blank CD's and have no problem burning CD's when using Windows Media Player.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

iTunes tends to be more picky on windows than other programs that burn CDs on a PC. The 3 main fixes for any iTunes burning issues/problems are
1) Updating the CD burners firmware and the PCs chipsets, BIOS ect ect, basicly any updates/patches offered on the PC makers web site for your model.
2) Slowing the burn speed in iTunes by going to edit>preferences>advanced tab>burning sub tab. Usually slowing it from "Max" to a speed like 8x or 4x does the trick
3) Using a different brand of blank CDs. Not all blank CD's are make from the same material, and not all burners read them the same.
Another thing you can do is goto Help>run CD Diagnostic and copy/paste the whole resulting report here so we can see what error if any your getting and overlook your setup for anything wrong

Itunes only plays first few seconds of a song...

I have a mac mini that I purchased last summer and have recently been having itunes problems. I have had no internet at home for a couple months but I believe itunes was up to date when I last had online access. I think I upgraded to Yosemite? But honestly can't remember. I am on my work computer and far from home.
So starting a couple of weeks ago, when playing certain albums in itunes, it would play the first 5-10 seconds of a song and then jump to another song on that album. I could switch albums and it would play fine. Sometimes. But the problem has worsened and now I cannot play anything in itunes without this happening. Very frustration to say the least. I have tried restarting itunes and restarting the machine with and that has not helped. Maybe a reinstall of itunes? Sounds like that will need internet access to get re-updated and such? Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hmmmm. I see a lot of questions and issues with iTunes in this here forum but not many answers and solutions to those problems. Seems Apple has been taking some missteps lately and forgetting a big part of what got them to where they are: their stuff worked with ease. Seems so many more stumbling steps these days.

BURNING PROBLEM - only first few tracks burn properly

I have posted this message a week ago but thought I'd try again to see if anyone can help.
I'm trying to do some cd's for my friends wedding. The CD burn is successful, but only the first 6 tracks play, even though the stereo lists all the track numbers.
Many thanks, Dionne.

Only the first few minutes of songs will play

I have a 4th gen iPod Nano and when I try to play music only the first few minutes of each song will play. Each song cuts off at the same point each time and this ranges from about 2:30 to around 6:20 from the tracks I have tested. Some of them at least are currently in 256kbit aac although I have tried resyncing them with the option to convert higher bitrate tracks to 128kbit aac. This has no effect on the "stopping" point for each track. The music plays fine on iPhone 4, 5 and in iTunes. I have restored the ipod to factory settings and tried resyncing but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I am running OS X 10.8 with iTunes 11.

a security idea for improvement: A password request before switching the phone off would give a user the chance of finding the phone within the first few minutes of it being stolen, since the thief wouldn't be able to turn the phone off.

Why is itunes only importing a few songs out of many in itunes music folder and then creating a new folder named "music" contianing those few songs?

This problem has come up after installing a new hard disk to replace a failed one. I restored the music just fine but iTunes only recognizes a few of the song tracks and then creates a new folder within iTunes called "music" that contains those few songs. Tried deleting the .itl and .xml files and reimporting via "Add Library Folder" option with similar results.

AVI File Captured in Premiere Elements 8 Only Plays First Few Minutes

Hello folks,
I'm totally new to this. My problem: I've recently installed Premiere Elements 8 and used it to capture some mini DV video tapes (via firewire), without any significant problems (other than a few freezes). Now I've tried to capture some VHSC tapes via my TV card (Avermedia H727). The capture process went well (except that the preview screen was just a fuzzy mess!) but I had to plug the audio inputs into my sound card (onboard) rather than the TV card.
The caputred files are about 6 + Gb for a 30 minute tape but when playing the captured video back in PrE8 only the first few minutes is available (the length of playback seems to vary unpredictably (1 tape allowed 3 minutes of playback, another a bit less).   The full avi files can be played back in Roxio or Windows Media Player etc but not PrE8.
Interestingly, videos captured from VHSC via the same TV card in Roxio 2010 Pro will play back correctly and fully in PrE8.   I had to switch audio inputs to the TV card (rather than the soundcard) for the audio to be captured with Roxio.
My son has tried to help me with this (having some experience on PrE2) but he's also drawn a blank with this.
I'd be very grateful for any help that you might be able to give as I've not found anything in FAQ although it's not easy to succintly define my search for this problem.
Many thanks
Computer spec:
OS     Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

HDD     2x Sata II Western Digital 1.5Tb (each)
Graphics     ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series
All updates for Windows 7 and PrE8 installed

Thanks John:
My PC has 2 HDDs and both are of the “green” variety. Both are partitioned (2 partitions on each HDD) with operating systems on the first partition (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on one and Windows XP Pro -32 bit on the other, the operating systems are on different physical drives).
The tips relating to PrPro are hard to follow as they are quite technical and I’m not even sure which ones also relate to PrE8.   It would take me an age to try to wade through this lot.
My point is that my current setup (for all its imperfections) will capture video (via the TV card) using PrE8 as the capture software. The setup must be adequate for this task as the complete avi file is played back correctly on Roxio and Windows Media Player but PrE8 fails to recognise any video after the first 3 minutes (approx).
If I capture to PrE8 using a firewire connection from my mini DV video camera then the capture proceeds normally (apart from odd freezes) and the captured video is all playable in PrE8.
When capturing using the mini DV camera, I select "DV camcorder" in the “Get Media” menu. However, this only supports Firewire or USB sources.   When capturing from the VHSC tapes via the TV card I have to select “Webcam or WDM Device” as the media source (I’m not convinced that this is the most suitable capture mode but it’s the only one I can find that doesn’t look for either a firewire or USB device.
It seems as though PrE8 must be putting some code onto the captured video that prevents more of it from playing back because avi files recorded on Roxio will playback fully.   I've tried to copy the PrE8 avi files into a different folder (devoid of any PrE8 project files) and then renaming the file before importing into PrE8 but still only the first few minutes will play.   My thinking here was that perhaps one of the other associated project files that PrE8 creates might be the source of the corrupt info.
Many thanks for your interest and taking the trouble to respond.

Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2. When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices. When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive. The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one. Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500. It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem. On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song

Hi ... i'm really struggling with this problem!
whenever i import a song from a CD, itunes only imports a few seconds of each song and moves onto the next .. so on & so forth. It only take a few second to completely import the entire CD.
However the 'imported' songs don't play ... itunes just whizzes thru all the songs in 2 sec. the time duration for each song is '789:57:13'.
this has occurred a few times in the past but seems to be fixed by a restarting my mac or reloading itunes from the .dmg file. which can be very annoying to say the least!
I need a more long term solution! any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I'm importing from 'factory' CDs .... i've deleted Itunes and reloaded it again and it seems to be ok, but from experience its not gonna last ...... the last time i had to shut down and restart 4 times to get it to work!
Frustrating ....... not to say the least!
Help!

How 2 Import a CD into Itunes? I only get first few Secs of each track!!

I have just bought an Ipod and am having trouble importing my Cds into Itunes !!!
I seem to have the 'intro function' on in Itunes so I can only get the first few seconds of each track !!
Does anyone know how I can import the complete tracks and how I turn this Itunes intro setting off ?
Thanks Owen0069

hi Owen!
let's try checking up on some of the simpler possibilities:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
these resources might be helpful with that:
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC

... but if no joy, post back with your itunes "help > run CD diagnostics". one of the clever folk might be able to spot something in those.

ITunes Match Broken After iOS 8 - Only downloads a few tracks, icons spin on every track in library

I have upgraded both my iPad Air and iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1, and iTunes Match is broken in two ways that make it unusable.
First, every single song on both devices (except those already downloaded to the device) has the "spinning wheel" icon as if I tried to download the song from the cloud... but I have not tapped Download on any tracks. The iTunes Store "Downloads" list confirms that nothing at all is downloading. If I tap one of those spinning wheels... it becomes a progress wheel and the track begins to download, and shows up in the iTunes Store's Downloads list. So the icon for every track is just wrong, the little cloud-arrow replaced with a spinning (or sometimes stationary) wheel.
Second, and far more frustrating, is the "Download All" button at the top of a long playlist now downloads only the first 30-50 songs on that playlist. After that it just does not try to download any others, confirmed again in the iTunes Store's Downloads list. Every other song on my playlist has a stationary wheel icon (which is to say, not a spinning wheel but the same icon), and I have to tap every single one of those to get them to begin downloading. I'm going on a long vacation with minimal internet service, I want to download a bunch of music onto my new iPad and iPhone, I have playlists that are thousands of tracks long... and now I have to tap every single song on every single one to download them for offline listening, which is just infuriating.
Help!

Guess what!!!! I managed to fix it!
After much googling and experimenting - I can now download more than 25 songs in a playlist, and the songs don't get stuck with the red circle. The problem appeared to be, strangely, the syncing of folders of playlists in iTunes match.
What I did
- remove all music from phone and turn off Match
- ensure music is available for syncing in iTunes on Mac (but ensure 0 songs are synced)
- removed all folders from my playlists. Playlists do not reside in any folders anymore
- update iTunes match manually from the Store menu
- turn on match from iPhone, and download a playlist
That worked, remarkably. Some kind of buffering/caching issue when match tries to download from a playlist within a folder? How weird. Let me know if that works for you.

ITunes only burns the first two discs of audible book over and over

I have purchased, downloaded, and burned many Audible books in iTunes successfully . . . until now.
NOW I cannot get my current purchased book to burn correctly.
What I do...
I create a playlist for the audiobook.
I drag the audiobook into the playlist.
I right click on the playlist and ask it to burn to disc.
I am told the book will have to be spread across multiple discs.
I click "ok".
The playlist begins to burn to disc.
I am prompted to insert another disc.
I do so.
This goes on and on for what seems like too many discs (normally, an unabridged audio takes about 8-12 discs depending on the length.)
I check the discs in a portable player and discover that the first two discs are fine, but that the third and fourth discs are just repeats of the first two discs.
I check the rest of the discs I have burned (18 at this point) and find that the first two discs are repeated over and over and over again!
What I did to try and resolve the issue:
I checked to see if I had the latest iTunes downloaded. I do.
I emailed Audible and they had me delete all occurences of the audiobook from my system and then re-download a fresh copy. I did.
Tried to reburn the new playlist with the new downloaded audio book.
The same issue occurrs and I waste another 18 discs.
It should be noted that the only reason I only wasted these 18 discs each time and not more is because I finally cancelled the burn.
iTunes was still asking for more discs on disc 18 (and the audio book was only about 10 hours long).
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

THIS... is precisely why I use Toast.
I know that doesn't help a lot, but I have NEVER been fond of iTunes for burning.

Itunes only burns 40 minutes on an 80min cd?

I'm having trouble getting Itunes to burn a full cd. I make a playlist that is 50-79 minutes long and the cd appears to burn correctly, i.e. no error messages, etc. cd says it's complete. I put it in my cd player and at the 40 minute mark, it just ends and goes back to track 1. I have never had this problems with any other cd in any player, only the ones burned using itunes with songs only purchased through the itunes store. anyone else having this problem? is there something i need to change the settings on? PLEASE REPLY! I've wasted far too many cd's to continue on like this. the interactive faq and troubleshooting has nothing on this.

iTunes tends to be more picky on windows than other programs that burn CDs on a PC. The 3 main fixes for any iTunes burning issues/problems are
1) Updating the CD burners firmware and the PCs chipsets, BIOS ect ect, basicly any updates/patches offered on the PC makers web site for your model.

Audio only on first few seconds

I have a problem with the audio on PE9. I use the Organizer to import the files from my hd. The files play perfectly with Quick Time and VLC. When I play the file in PE9 I notice that only the first 5 to 10 seconds of sound show in the timeline. The rest of the file has no sound and there is a flat line in the audio channel. The camera is a Pentax compact that uses .mov file format. In VLC the audio codec is shown as PCM U 8. My question is why do I only get a few seconds of sound? Is there a way to get the sound for the whole file? I am using win 7 64 bit. I'd appreciate any help or ideas.

Hm-m,
That is rather an odd Audio Sample Rate & Bit-Rate. Normally, one sees 24KHz, 32KHz, 44.1KHz or 48KHz, at 8-bit, 12-bit or 16-bit. The 32-bit floating point is the Conformed Audio, for precise editing, and is to be expected, however the 8KHz Sample Rate is not what I would expect for the Project. Normally, that is Conformed to 48KHz, which is the standard for DVD Audio.
When you look at the Audio Track where the problem Clip is located, and expand that Audio Track vertically (if you hover the Cursor at the juncture of the Audio Track in the Track Header, you will see the Cursor to change shape to a little = sign with arrowheads - click+drag), does the Waveform Display stop where the Audio ceases to play? If so, this sounds like the CFA & PEK files were truncated. This usually happens when the Conforming process has been interrupted.
One test that you can run is to close out of PrE, and navigate to your Media Cache folder in the Scratch Disks' location, and find the CFA and PEK files for one of the problem Audio files. They will have the same name as your Clip, but will be CFA and PEK. Those are the Conformed Audio file and the Waveform Display for the Audio in that Clip. Choose one pair for a problem Clip and Delete those two files - the CFA and the PEK. When you relaunch PrE and Open that Project, PrE will reconstruct the CFA and PEK for that Clip. Make sure to let the Conforming complete 100%, before touching the computer. There is a little progress bar at the lower-right of the GUI. Do not do anything, until it disappears. Test.
Good luck,
Hunt

I am unable to print only the first few lines of an e-mail. Also, it will then print in a very small type and will also include extraneous information on the screen that are not part of the e-mail. Is there anything I can do about this annoying problem?

I can only print the first few lines of an e-mail, even when it is on "Full View" on my screen. Moreover, it prints with very small print that is hard to read and also contains additional material on the screen that is not part of the e-mail.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since the first day I started using Firefox

I talked to Adobe Support tonight and found this issue to be a known problem with some of the Adobe Cloud products when using older hardware, in this case the C782.
So, we found a workaround. Unfortunately the work around isn’t efficient and adds more steps to their normal printing routine
Open InDesign and create, modify delete the card
Select FileàExport
A window will appear. Pick the location you wish to save the file
Once the File is saved another window will appear
“EXPORT Adobe PDF”
An Export to Adobe PDF window will appear. Accept all defaults. MAKE CERTAIN “VIEW PDF
After EXPORTING” is CHECKED
Select Export
Once EXPORT is complete the file will open automatically in Adobe Acrobat
Most likely the screen will be very large
Select the + - sign at the top of the page to adjust the page size to view the image
Select FileàPrint
The Print window will appear
Select the printer from the drop down

Select OK
I hope this helps anyone who is having similar issues
