Ive burned a CD-R, but it wont play on my stereo, help?

i don't know why, but recently, whenever i try to burn a CD so that i can listen to my music from a stereo, the CD will not play on the stereo. of course i use iTunes to burn the CD. i always have.
im going to take a guess and say that i need to convert my songs into mp3 files? i tried by highlighting the songs i want, right-clicking and converting to mp3, but after its done "converting" it's still in MPEG-1 format.
you know what.....that's great and all, but i dont think i should have to convert everything to mp3 just to burn a CD. correct? do i need to burn as an audio CD, an mp3 CD, or a data CD? i am so confused!!! >_<
and yes, i am using CD-R discs, which SHOULD be compatible with stereos....so....uhh....erm....what's the problem?

Welcome to discussions, Eric! Here are some thing to take a look at.
Data CD's are strictly used for backup purposes & will only play on your computer.
Are you talking about purchases from the music store? If so, they can only be burned as an audio CD. Is the playlist/s you're trying to burn purchased music, songs you have ripped from your own CD's, or a combination of both? Are you getting any error message or codes at all? Out of curiosity's sake & if you have a couple of blank discs to waste, why not try re-burning a playlist that has not work as mp3 to an audio CD & see if that is recognized in your stereo?
From your post, I'm going to assume that your stereo system has mp3 playback capability? Even though you are using R's & not RW's, I have heardd of instances where a change in brand of R discs will cause a burned disc not to be recognized as weird as it sounds
These are just ideas for now. Let us know how you're doing. It would also be helpful to know your computer & OS information, what version of iTunes you're presently using, & any other specific information about this issue that might be helpful.

Ive just restored my iphone but it wont let me activate it now, either by wi-fi or through itunes. what do i do?

Ive just restored my iphone but it wont let me activate it now, either by wi-fi or through itunes. what do i do?
I just bought the phone off ebay and it was working fine before I tried to update it. This is when the problems started. Firstly, it wouldnt update because it said there was something wrong with the iphone, so i chose to restore it as there was nothing on the phone anyways. After I restored it, its saying there is no sim inserted and it wont let me activate it. I really need help with this.

Try again now. I had the same issue this morning with my phone. After a restore it said it could not activate and to try again later.
If you try again and it doesn't work, click the home button and edit your WiFi settings. Forget all networks and start the activation again.
Instead of entering any WiFi details this time, scroll to the bottom and click "Connect to iTunes".
This is what I did and it activated for me.
**EDIT** Sorry, I missed the part about the missing sim. Mine did not say that. It just said "your phone could not be activated at this time. try again later"

Not really
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

HT1725 I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play. I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it. I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play. HELP!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please email me details and I'll add them to the User Tip.

Downloaded songs from itunes, see them in my playlist but they wont play

Had the same issue with my last 3 song downloads from iTunes. I can see the song in my playlist, but it wont play? I have been using iTues/iPods/iPads for 7 years and have never had this issue. Can someone help me?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies.
Otherwise, 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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

Hi kingminjing,
Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.
Cheers,
