ITunes playlist burning problems

When ripping a large playlist, itunes will burn the first CD and requests another disc be placed in the drive but burns the exact same songs it just ripped even though all the songs where checked.
How do I get iTunes to continue ripping the rest of the playlist?

That did the trick! I must have goofed on the first attempt as no problems were had after splitting the playlist. I was able to complete the playlist burn.
Thanks pac_80!

Long playlist burn problem

I have a playlist without about 50 songs. Obviously they can't fit on one audio cd. So iTunes says that it would make multiple audio cds. I choose yes, and it appears that it burns all of the songs but when I check the CDs it has only burned some of them and some songs are repeated on the other cds. What gives? I have all of the songs checked off to burn.

I have not personally used the spanning across CDs feature as I usually make a single CD at a time. But probably the easiest solution is to create additional playlists and break up the 50 song playlist into a series of smaller playlists.
You can copy and paste into new playlist from other playlists. So you can easily select songs, say, 11-50 of the big playlist and drag it to a new playlist. Then delete those 11-50 songs from the original playlist. Repeat with the new playlist, which is now 40 songs, selecting songs 11-40 and dragging to a new playlist. etc.

Itunes playlist syncing problems

Hello to everyone at the forum.
I have a Blackberry 8900 with a 32GB micro sd card linked up to a HP laptop with windows 7, used mainly for music. I have playlists created on Itunes and I use blackberry media sync to transfer said playlists. Out of the 2000 tracks on both playlists roughly 1300 are being synced to the device. The other 700 tracks do not appear under the "song" category however they do appear in the playlist in a red background with the song information from the file as it is stored on windows unlike the way the information is presented on itunes.
The majority of the unsynced tracks are in mp3 format therefore format problems are unlikely. Also one particular album can contain both synced and unsynced tracks.
Your help is greatly appreciated,

Then my theory about match taking over is correct and unless you disable it you will not get your playlists back.
iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at anytime by clicking the Stop or Start button.
Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.

One laptop 2 logons. How do I home share between them all ITunes music and playlists loaded via only one user logon and its Appleid ?

As far as I know, you can only sign into one account and utilize "Home Sharing".

Error while burning itunes playlist

I've burned many discs in the past from itunes playlists. However, now I am getting an error. The songs are successfully copied to the disc, but when I drag the disc icon to the trash (where the burn symbol shows up) it seems to start to work but then I get the following error, "An error occured while burning disc. This disc cannot be used." I tried several different discs CD-R and CD-RW. I tried using disc utility to burn. I CAN burn other files like word documents etc. It seems to just be songs that won't burn. I recently updated to itunes 7. Any advice?

Please note, I have read through all the trouble shooting help. I have the preferences set to burn "audio CD" which seems to be the problem for others. aaargh! Really frustrated!

Is it possible to burn my iTunes playlist to a SD card?

I cannot seem to transfer (burn) an iTunes playlist to a SD card. I eventually want my entire library on SD cards to free up space on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. My Jeep does not have a CD player. Just Bluetooth and SD card slot. So CD format is not an option.

You should be able to copy via drag and drop to the SD card - I don't have any SD cards to play with, but it works for me going to USB drives. I don't have any experience in this, but I'd expect problems with syncing your iPhone if you remove songs from your Library.
What you'll need to do is put iTunes into Song view and select the playlist you want. You'll need to copy the individual songs - Dragging the name of the playlist won't work.
Good luck

More burning problems in itunes

i had originally posted this thread in the wrong forum(windows - oops!), so now i'm posting here.
it would seem a lot of us are currently experiencing problems with our beloved macs, and the burning issue seems to encompass many models, versions, updates, etc.
could this be the 'viral'?
see my post below:
and now for something completely different,
i am having similar problems but only when using my external writer (an lg gsa4167b). i've wasted about 15 discs so far, and have been able to isolate it to audio quality (aiff) burns only. itunes will burn an mp3 disc without issue.
and my internal drive (i installed a benq into my emac) works flawlessly in any format.
i am using patchburn 4.0 to install the drive support file (for both writers).
the hang starts just after checking the playlist and the screen indicates burn initialization; and then nothing. conveniently it burns just enough info to toast the disc, as i have to manually turn off the drive to cancel the operation and allow itunes to quit.
while parts of this issue seem to be hardware related, and as i did not own the drive prior to installing 10.4.4 and upgrading to itunes 6.0.2, it seems odd that the drive works flawlessly burning anything and everything else. i can even burn dvds without issue, and disk copy(disk utility) works fine too.
are there any other mac users having the same issue?
any help would be great.

Sure there are some missing fields depending on what kind of music you own, but ranting/posting in here isn't going to get it added.

ITunes 11 - Burning Playlist to Audio CD fails when including CD Text

I just started running into an issue where I am unable to burn an Audio CD and include CD text.
I tried everything including different burn speeds and cannot get it to work. I get the error:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occured (4000).
Luckily nothing is ever written to the CD, so I am not making coasters.
For kicks to make sure iTunes CD burning was working for anything, I selected Data CD instead of an Audio CD, and the Data CD succesfully burned.
Then I attempted to burn the Playlist and unchecked "Include CD Text", and the CD was successfully created.
It has been a while and that means it was with a prior version of iTunes, but I have successfully burned playlists with CD Text. How come this is not working in iTunes 11.0.0.163?
Anyone have any recommendations how to fix the CD Text Issue?

I cannot burn itunes playlist to a cd.

I tried several times to burn an audio CD using ITUNES playlist. It just hangs after initializing. I know it's not a hardware problem because I've burned CDs before using ITUNES. Please HELP. I am going insane.

Hello sisterluke,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you are trying to burn a playlist in iTunes to a disc. To do that, simply follow the directions below.
Create a CD or DVD
Create a playlist that contains the songs or files you want to burn to the CD; make sure the items you want to include have a checkmark beside them.
Insert a blank disc.
Select the playlist and choose File > Burn Playlist to Disc.
If Burn Playlist to Disc doesn’t appear in the menu, the playlist you selected can’t be burned to a CD because it contains items with usage restrictions (for example, a song your computer isn’t authorized to play).
Select a disc format.
If you’re creating an audio CD, choose your options:Change the recording speed:
Choose an option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
When you burn an audio CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
Change the amount of silence between songs:
Choose an option from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
Have all the songs on the disc play at the same volume:
Select Use Sound Check.
Include information that disc players in some vehicles can display:
Select Include CD Text.
Click Burn.

I am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos? Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes? Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?
