Itunes will burn only 1 CD without reboot

Itunes will burn only 1 CD, then won't recognize any other discs. Burn function for 2nd+ tries doesn't say "checking playlist" as it does normally, instead says "checking media", then just quits, takes me back to itunes. Only a reboot of the computer will help. Any ideas. This is a real pain.

Hello minibar,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with burning a disc on your iMac.  I found some resources that I think might help:
First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac:
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
You can find the full article here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

If you are still having trouble with burning after that step, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following artice:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • Once I close iTunes I cannot open again without rebooting

    running win 7 pro x64 and new version of iTunes.  Once I close Itunes it will not reopen again without rebooting my system

    Has nothing to do with 5.5.
    I see this occasionally, and it's faster to go to Task Manager and open the Processes tab, then find InDesign.exe, right click and End Process Tree.

    If you have iPhone 3G, the latest and greatest is IOS 4.2.1.
    If you have iPhone 3GS or later, you can only update to IOS 6.0.1.
    For iPhone 5 and iPad mini, you can update to IOS 6.0.2.

  • Itunes will not open until I reboot

    I'm running a Windows 7 64 bit computer. My music is installed on an external harddrive. Itunes will not open until I reboot my computer. I admit I have a large collection of music but my computer is running 8 gigs of DDR3 ram and a AMD Athlon II x4 630 processor. This should be more than enough to open my music collection. I don't seem to have any problems with any of my other programs. ANY SUGGESTIONS?????

    1. Check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    2.  Go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. Rename file "APSDaemon.exe' into "APSDaemon1.exe" from this location:
    32bit Windows  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
    64bit Windows  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
    (Take note that this is a temporary fix until Apple comes up with an update to resolve.  This will also disable the capability of WIFI SYNC)

  • ITunes WILL burn mp3 disks but NOT audio format disk - HELP!!

    It's 1am and I've just pulled out the last of my hair.... Been trying to fix this for the last 4 hours. Here's the background.....Started out innocently enough,tried to burn a cd for my wife of a play list I'd created. Kept getting an Error 4450 message. Found what appeared to be the answer here, turned off the option to include text info on the cd. When I tried it again, I no longer got the error message, in fact, it seemed to be going through the burn process. However, after it said it was writing the last song on the list, a new window popped up from XP, indicating a blank disk in the drive. iTunes acts like its done. Nothing else happens. The CD in the drive is still blank. Now, if I change the burn settings to burn an mp3 disk (as opposed to audio), everything works.
    I've tried everything I can think of. I did have Roxio v. 10 I think, but uninstalled it thinking that was causing a problem. No change. Can anyone help??
    Thanks!

  • HT1657 itunes will play only part of the movie i rented and it just stop! what do i do?!

    but for real. how can i watch the rest of my movie? it's like they ripped me off!

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • My iTunes will only play one song and then stops.

    In a playlist, my iTunes will play only one track and then it stops. Won't move to the next song, won't work in shuffle mode, just plays once and that's it! Any ideas? This just started a few days ago, maybe with a recent iTunes update? I'm in 11.0.3 (and of course, my AppleCare has just expired).

    Hello kitkatmac
    I would check to make sure that the songs in your playlist are check in the checkbox section. If they are not the songs will play and then stop once it is done playing like you have described.

  • IPad 3G no longer detected by iTunes (Win Vista), only charging when battery V. Low

    This appears to be a software issue: my iPad 3G (32GB) is not detected by iTunes (yet my iPhone is), nor by Windows Vista.  Furthermore, it does not charge from the wall charger until it shuts down in low battery, and only charges to 2%, after which it switches on again.  Tried switching off and charging, which only causes it to switch back on again.  Also tried cold resetting, but problem persists.  Was working fine previously, no updates, additions or subtractions were made to either PC OS, iPad or iTunes immediately before problem started... and there doesn't seem to be any mention of this on the internets (including this forum).  Any suggestions? 

    Soft boot, hold down top button and middle bottom button at the same time, with the iPhone connected to your computer and iTunes will recognize the phone on reboot.

    The issue appeared as follows:
    - Firstly I saw error 69.  I removed all music that appeared to be an error (given that no songs had given this error beforehand, I don’t understand why all of a sudden itunes wouldn’t allow my ipod to sync with songs it had previously synced)
    - Once I had removed these songs, I attempted again to sync, but itunes now just freezes mid sync (sometimes on a song, sometimes not).  I cannot click on anything in itunes when it freezes, I just have to shut it down via task manager.  Sometimes itunes will sync a song without an issue (and progress further in syncing, then freeze later), and sometimes it will freeze on that same song it previously had no issue with, stating “error 69”
    - I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  The issue remained.
    - I uninstalled and reinstalled my entire music library.  The issue remained.  I created new music libraries that do not have any songs from my previous music library. The issue remained.
    - I have attempted to sync another ipod, which previously worked.  It experiences the same issue now.  Both ipods now, every time I attempt to sync, request me to restore defaults and scan and fix issues with the ipods.  Sometimes I do so, but it makes no difference.
    - In summary: itunes will not sync even if uninstalled and reinstalled.  I have tried syncing two different ipods, both of which synced without issue previously, but neither will sync now.  I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and creating a new music library, but itunes still will not sync.

    Hi victorian1978,
    It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. You may want to double-check that you are completely removing all the iTunes files when uninstalling/reinstalling, and make sure you test with only a limited amount of data initially (perhaps a single song).

  • HT2736 I have one account for itunes will alot of apps, but I make another new one, can I transfer or use these apps in the old acount in the new one ?

    Another question
    Is sync the iphone or iPod with itunes will sync only apps or all others like contacts, calender, music, books ,,,,, ?

    Thanks for your reply, but may be I was not clear for what I am asking about
    I have 2 iphones and 1 ipod touch
    I need all apps only to be in the 2 iphones and ipod.
    I need to separate the contacts, as each device has its own contacts, calender, books and music
    Music is not downloaded from apple, they are from the computer hard disk.
    Noting that all apps are downloaded using 1 acount and I have 2 other acounts (Total of 3 acounts).
    Any way to do this ?!!
    Thanks for your cooperation

  • ITunes is playing only part of a song.  Why?

    About two and a half years ago I discovered a fan site for my favorite band that allowed other fans to download (for free!) bootleg recordings of the band's concerts. I've played the files a zillion times with no problems. Recently, I discovered that at least two of these files are not playing correctly in iTunes. iTunes will play only a portion of the song before it abruptly switches to the next song in the list.
    For example, one of the songs is 8:28, but iTunes will only play the first 1:38 before it switches to the next song. Even more curious, if I allow the first 1:37 to play and then force iTunes to pick the song up again at 1:41 by dragging the cursor on the horizontal line indicating song progression (in the small window that also lists song title/album name/artist), iTunes will begin to play the first 1:38 again (although the horizontal line indicating progression shows that you are 1:41+ seconds into the song).
    I cannot replace these files because the site where I found them has been taken down. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? Thanks!
    By the way, I am running iTunes version 8.0.2

    I should add that I downloaded 34 tracks (including the two affected files) from the fan site on 6.2.2006 and 6.3.2006. After looking at the 'Date Added' column, 6 songs (including the two affected tracks) are listed as having been added on 4.3.2007 and 1 song is listed as having been added on 11.18.2006. In fact, those songs would have been downloaded on the same days as all the other files--6.2.2006 and 6.3.2006.

  • Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open. Have rstrated but no change, need help to fix, please

    Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open, I have rebooted twice with no effect, I don't know what else to do to get my itunes back. Need help please

    Believe I've firxed my problem, at least, ITunes is now working again. I followed the information provided from a couple of posts on this thread, (1) re restarting with command-s held down; did it twice, made no differerence; (2) manually re-installed the Security update; no difference; each time restarting, no effect; (3) shutdown the computer; I did for 35 minutes, upon restart, ITunes is back to normal, seems to be working fine. Turning the computer off must clear the cache?

  • ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

    iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
    then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
    iTunes current version
    on imac w/10.6.8

    I have the same issue.
    Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
    Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
    The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
    Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
    Thanks!

  • 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!

  • Can I sync my 'PC Free' activated iPhone with downloaded apps to iTunes for the first time without loosing data?

    I have an iPhone 4 that has been activated over the air, "PC Free" and have used it for a month without ever connecting it to a computer. I have downloaded several apps, taken a few pictures, and even downloaded a few songs. Now I want to connect to my computer and sync and backup. Will I loose all my data?

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
