ITunes says my CD Burner is in use by another program? Please help!
Hey everyone,
When I try to burn a cd in iTunes, it says my CD burner is already in use with another program...however, I'm only running iTunes. Any advice? Thanks so much for your time, I greatly appreciate it. Cheers, Tim
I am having same problem. Was fine until I downloaded latest version. Now I get this error 99.9% of the time. Once in a blue moon though it actually lets me burn. Also, wont let me burn ANY cd from Nero or Explorer (says no disc inserted when it is) either- like its locked the cd writer for some reason. Happens if I just re-boot then go straight to itunes or Explorer with no other application loaded or not. Did not try to re-install as it DID let me burn 2 cds after a zillion attempts (with no obvious difference to the steps I used). Hope you can help. Can I undo this upgrade as I was fine before and now have things I want to save to cd? Any help gratefully appreciated, Alex

I have photoshop elements 11 installed on my desktop pc, I want to install it on my laptop as well, I read that it can be installed on two systems, but I get a message taht the redemption code has been used by another ID, please help
A redemption code can only be redeemed once. It is used to acquire a serial number. The serial number is what you need to activate the installed software. If you did not keep the serial number when you first installed, you might still be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software.

Photo Booth Problems -- being used by another applications/ Please help!
Hi everyone: I am having problems with my 17" iMac (C2D). Photo Booth worked great for the first few weeks. Now when I go to use it -- I get a message that says it is in use by another application or there is no camera attached. Well of course there is a camera attached and there is no other application running. I've tried shutting down and bring the computer back up, as suggested in other posts. That did not work.
Any other suggestions please. I'd really like to get this going again.
Sincerely,
AnneHello apple-chick
Check to make sure that iSight was not left on in another app, it can only be used by one app at a time!
1. See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications.
2. See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC
Reset your computer's SMC and then check System Profiler again.

I am trying to burn a music cd on iTunes, but I am getting an error that reads that the cd burner is being used by another application. I know that I am not using the cd burner for anything else. I have restarted the Mac and nothing. Any ideas?
One other thread said it was fixed by waiting till prompted by iTunes to insert the blank disk, instead of putting it in first. Does that work? Found a number of hits on this Googling.

My CD drive does appear on the desktop even though Finder preferences indicate it should and so do the System preferences.
I'm unable to burn a CD-R in iTunes. It tells me the CD burner is being used by another application; however, I seem to find out what's using it.
I'm unable to eject the CD since it not shown on the Desk Top. I have to restart the system to eject the CD?

windows thinks my itouch is a camera and itunes says this ipod can't be used because the software isn't installed - reinstall itunes. i've done that and continue to get the same error. can someone please help?
(apologies for barging in, lllass.)
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now? -

Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?
Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

Error: Burner is in use by another application
Hi everyone!
I just tried to burn a CD for the first time in a while and receive an error stating that the "burner is in use by another application." I have no other applications running at this time and am running iTunes 11.01.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or can anyone help?
Thanks!Feel free to purchase Toast at roxio.com.
I asked the question as in the Toast setup there is a dialog if you want to use Toast as your default burning program. If chosen it could possibly stop iTunes from burning. I am not sure if that is 100% correct but was offering ideas of where to look. Your update to 7.7.1 as you noted has cured the problem.

my itunes says that it is not correctly localized for this language. please run english version. how do i do that?
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:

After updating iPod Touch to iOs 5.0, I cannot get into Game Center with previous nickname. The screen says my nickname is already in use by another account. Why did this happen and how can I fix this so I can still use the same nickname?
Did you haveany problem with updating to iOS 5? It soundsl like the update did not correctly restore from the backup that iTunes mnakes as the fisr step of the update.
