ITunes Thinks my Blank CD is a Blank DVD

I tried burning a music CD for the first time since installing iTunes on Windows 8 x64, even though windows tells me that the disc is a CD-R, iTunes pops up a message saying "You have inserted a blank DVD but originally selected a CD format. Are you sure you wish to create a data DVD instead?" I have rebooted, multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, still the same problem.

Same problem. Just got a new Windows 8 machine and loaded iTunes 11.0.2.26 on the machine. After days of importing, syncing, etc... I can NOT burn a single CD. I am using CD-R and iTunes is reading them as data DVD's.
This is very frustrating. Anyone with a solution to the iTunes error?
ERROR:

i like to record concerts i go to a listen to them and the voice memos are how i record them

If you still have the 'pointers' to them in iTunes then I think that it assumes that you still have them on your computer so it won't re-download them or let you copy them from your iPod - try deleting the iTunes entry for one of them and then re-try re-downloading or, with your iPod connected, File > Transfer Purchases. If it works for that one then do the same for the others.

This Question is at least 2.5 years old. But still an issue. I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7. Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?

I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

I think iTunes thinks my new iPod is my old iPod and it's keeping me from syncing apps

I recently set up an iPod 5 to replace my iPod 4. The new one was my wife's that she never used and let me have it. So I restored it, tied it to my account, and I've been using it for a couple of weeks and a few days ago downloaded Tiny Death Star, which I've been enjoying.
However, ever since I downloaded it I have been unable to sync with my computer. I repeatedly get the "This iPod is no longer authorized for this app, do you want to authorize", error in iTunes then Iclick yes, then it asks over again and I can't sync anything else. So I deleted the game(sigh...) and everything worked fine again -- but when I try to "push" the app to my iPod from iTunes, it tells me that "tinydeathstar" is not compatible with my iPod -- which is absolutely incorrect. It is incompatible with my iPod 4 (there's some compass thing it needs?) but I downloaded it on my iPod 5 and it runs like a champ.
Tiny Death Star is the only app I have that won't run on an iPod 4. I think that's the issue with the syncing and the pushing -- iTunes thinks that my new iPod is the old iPod, and won't "allow" an app it thinks it is incompatible. To remedy this I've tried 1) doing everything from this support article : (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389), 2) restoring my iPod to factory settings 3) removing both devices from my account and re-adding only the new one and finally 4) uninstalling itunes and manually removing a bunch of registry stuff.
None of that worked.
So it isn't a huge issue for now. I just won't be able to sync my iPod for however long I play this game. But eventually more and more apps won't be compatible with an iPod 4 and I'll be in a pickle. I might have to rebuild my computer (sigh) just to get itunes to work again.
So, other than rebuilding my computer, any ideas?

The app seems to be the tiny death star . try reset the sync folder and try it on another account (create one if you dont have one). mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1627; http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600 and for windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692. tell me what happens.

ITunes thinks iPhone has more music than it really does, and won't sync

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1, and am running iTunes 11.1.5 on Mavericks.
I was using iTunes Match on the iPhone, but I don't want to do so any more because I have acquired a lot of music that I can't upload to iTunes Match. (This is because my wife has her own iTunes Match account, and Apple won't allow two different iTunes Match accounts to be used simultaneously on the same computer, even under different user accounts. So because my wife uses her iTunes Match account under her user account on the same computer, I cannot activate my own iTunes Match account and upload my additional music.)
So I turned off iTunes Match on the phone. I then went into Settings - General - Usage - Music and deleted all the music on the phone.
The phone now shows as having no music on it at all, both in Settings and in the Music app itself.
I hooked the phone up to iTunes in order to sync a new load of music onto it. Under "Summary", the usage bar shows no music on the phone at all, and a total of 10.99 GB free. This is exactly as expected.
I have ticked "Sync only checked songs and video". In my iTunes library, only ten songs are checked. So I am attempting to put only ten songs onto the phone (for now).
I go over to the "Music" tab of the phone. I check "Sync Music". Suddenly a huge blue bar appears at the bottom, and it now says I'm over capacity by 975.8 MB. And yet at the top of the screen, next to "Sync Music", it also says "10 songs". So it knows I only want to put 10 songs on the phone, and yet it thinks that this is too much for the 10.99 GB free space on the phone.
Heading over to the "On This iPhone" tab of the phone, I see that all of the music that I previously deleted from the phone is showing up here, even though it's no longer on the phone. If I double-click on any of the items, they don't play, and an exclamation mark symbol appears next to them, indicating that the tracks aren't actually present. If I right-click on any of the items, the only options I have are to play them, get info, check the rating, or show in iTunes Store. There's no delete option.
It looks like, as long as I don't try to sync the iPhone, iTunes recognises that there's no music on it, and it's got over 10 GB of free space. But as soon as I try to sync it, iTunes thinks that the old, deleted music is still on it, and that I therefore have no space to put anything more on. So it refuses to sync any music to the phone, even though there's plenty of space for it.
I have tried ejecting the phone, restarting it, and remounting it. I have also tried signing out of my account on the phone and signing back in. It makes no difference. I don't know what else to do.
So I can't sync the iPhone. What's going wrong, and what can I do to make it work?

Same problem here. Mine is a iPhone 5s......

How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?

I have several hundred "missing" files in my iTunes library but they are all actually on the computer. But I don't remember where the were previously. I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before. I don't just want to reimport the files because I have several hundred playlists with these files and it would be completely stupid to edit them all one at a time when all I need to do is to move them back to where iTunes thinks they should be. So where is that? The Windows media player has a column that displays file location. Why doesn't iTunes? (This is so stupid. It makes things -not just this- so much easier when you have the file location in the music list in your music player.)
Is there a way to find out where iTunes thinks the missing files should be at?

The exclamation mark means ITunes doesn't think they are anywhere.
If you right click - get info on a song then view the Info tab, you will see where iTunes last used it from.
I'm not a newbie. I know quite a lot about iTunes. You sound like you don't though because if you did you would know that this is not true. If you "right click - get info on a song" (pressing cancel to the Locate popup) "then view the SUMMARY (not info) tab" you will see "Not Available" where the file location usually is. I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't gone through the steps already.
Thanks for trying though. Next time, please try the advice before you give it.

You should not have to remember anything about where they were.
I agree.
Are you always moving them around?
When I install a new hard drive. Yes. I generally keep everything organized and I let iTunes keep the folder organized but several years ago I used windows media player to organize my media.
Frankly I don't know HOW the recent songs/videos/etc. go missing. But some do. Maybe I accidentally move a folder without realizing it. Mistakes happen. Then I need to move it back but since I didn't know I did it in the first place I can't possibly be expected to remember where I moved it from.
Do you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced Keep ITunes music folder organized ticked and Copy files to iTunes ... ticked?
*OF COURSE!* Again, I'm not a newbie.
I have several hundred playlists with these files
Why would you have several hundred playlists?
I don't mean to sound rude but you sound like an Apple fanboy. Are you trying to tell me how I should use my own program? The answer to the question is I am a salsa instructor/DJ and I am constantly adding songs and videos to my library. Every month I have various salsa events, classes and performances that I do. I use my iPhone for the music. I need to maintain the playlists because students/teachers/studios/clubs/bars/churches/etc. call me back and want a repeat of the great salsa night I gave them a year ago. Naturally my playlists are highly organized into folders. So, I still have them and I need them.
Apple has its own ideas about how people should use its stuff but everyone is unique and our needs therefore are unique too. Apple doesn't realize this and still wants us to do things "the Apple way" even though "the Apple way" only works well for people who want their hand held through everything. This is why I say you sound like a fanboy. You don't know my situation and question if I need hundreds of playlists. I do.
I just need an answer to the question.
Thank you for your reply though. It gave me hope, for a time.

Hi, I had to re install my itunes library from a hard drive to my new laptop. Now I cant sync my iphone because itunes thinks all songs are new and basically doubling all albums. Should i restore iphone or is there a better way?

Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.

ITunes thinks my 64gig iPad 3 is 32, what to do?

I recently upgrade from a 32gig iPad 1 to a 64 gig iPad 3. I set up the new iPad by restoring from a backup of the old one... Went fine, I've got it set up just the way I want it.... EXCEPT iTunes thinks it's only a 32 gig iPad?
Do I have to start all over and set the ipad up as new, putting all my apps on again, etc, or is there (I hope) a way to get iTunes to see it's actually 64 gigs?
Thanks,
Dmitri

AAAAnd I discovered the problem: User error. Somehow my old iPad's name and the new one got switched, so I was actually syncing my OLD iPad (OTA), rather than the new one cabled to the iMac.
So never mind!

I cannot now delete or load songs onto iphone unless I wipe them all and start again. Is there anything I can do to get round this problem?
Strange how I do not have this problem with my ipod nano!!
Many thanks all.

+Strange how I do not have this problem with my ipod nano!!+
What folders did you back up and then restore after reinstalling Windows? The nano does not use a few folders that iPhones/iTouch/iPads use. But they both use the same library database file, iTunes Library.itl. That is the main file that tells itunes if a device has been synced to it.

ITunes thinks my new iTouch is my old iPod

I received a new iTouch and when I first connected it to iTunes I accidentally didn't rename it. So now iTunes thinks my new iTouch is my old iPod. So when I started syncing it, it looks as though my new 64gb iTouch only has 32gb. How do I make iTunes recognize my iTouch as something new? I was scared to do restore because I thought it might restore the old iPod settings and not the new iTouch settings.

Hello noonie23,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How you sync one iPod should have no effect on any other iPod you may be syncing to the same iTunes library.
I think at this point it would be best to restore the iPod via iTunes, name it to whatever you like, then sync away. Not sure why only 32 gb is showing though.

ITunes thinks iPad is owned by another iTunes Library.

Hey,
My iTunes thinks that my iPad (first generation) is owned by another iTunes library. It definetely isn't. How do I get rid of this problem without erasing and syncing? And could this be related to the new motherboard and hard drive installed in my system?
Thanks!
Will

Supervision Mode seems to embed itself into the operating system. In Apple Configurator, I had to unassign myself from the iPad. That restarts the iPad. This is something your IT Administrator has to do, but I doubt they will take it out of Supervisor mode as that means the devices can be stolen and used by anyone.
You are getting this error message?
Someone, your IT Administrator, used Apple Configurator to lock down your device and turned on "Supervision" in Apple Configurator:

ITunes thinks I need too much space

Itunes 8.3 + OS3.0
For some reason, iTunes thinks I need 21GB for my songs when I try to sync, but they only consume 6GB (reported by iTunes at the bottom of the screen). If I select the checkbox to only sync checked items, then the sync works correctly.
Can anybody suggest what might be wrong?

Thanks, but the 'Other' is not shown on iTunes. I'm sure there used to be some.
But, like I say, I've selected all my songs and syncing selected items works. It's only if I choose to sync all (which I'm surely doing by selecting all) that I have a problem.
I have tried a restore too.
