Mac Book Pro/iTunes will not recognise content of freshly burned cd

Hi
So...my drive will recognise bought dvds and burned dvds. It will also recognise the content of shop bought cd. I can also burn cds and dvds. HOWEVER, it will not recognise cds burnt for me from other peoples (apple) machines. It simply says that the cd is blank. This is the same whether the cd is an mp3 cd, an audio cd or a datadisc. I have also tried to open the cd's in Quicktime and VLC but it still will not recognise.
Can anyone help m with this one? Do I just need to get a lens cleaner and if so are lens cleaners that you insert into the machine safe to use ?

So...
It would appear that now:
I cant burn dvds using toast or dvd studio pro.I can however play burnt dvds.
I cant play burnt cd's using itunes or quicktime but I can burn cds using iTunes.
Im so puzzled that any help would be brilliant.thank you.

    I just downloaded a new version of OS7 to my iphone and when I try to sync with my mac book pro it will not finish and just spins around at the last step.  anyone help?

    It was telling you that you needed Mac OS 10.6.8 or later, not itunes 10.6.8
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:

  • HT4061 iTunes will not open when my iPhone 4S is attached to my Mac Book Pro. iTunes will start up but as soon as my iPhone appears in the list of devices the program then quits and displays the message 'iTune Quit Unexpectedly'? Can anybody help?

    The Problem/s
    1. I am unable to sync my iPhone 4S with my Mac Book Pro, either by cable, wifi or bluetooth
    2. iTunes will initiall open and briefly identifies the iPhone in the Device section in iTunes.
    3. When iTunes starts to read the iPhone (displaying the spinning wheel), it immediately then quits and
    4. Opens a 'dialogue box' which displays the message "iTunes Quit Unexpectedly"
    5 The dialoge box offers the following button options to:-
    'Show Details'
    The 'Show Details' button will open and display a list of the 'Problem Details and System Configeration'. To the average user the information is useless, as one doesn't know what to look for to solve the problem. This is a long and detailed report (too long to include in this message), which includes information such as:-
    Crashed Thread:  20
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000000006f0
    'OK'
    The 'Ok' button simply quits and closes the dialogue box
    'Reopen'
    The 'Reopen' button will again reopen iTunes, briefly showing that it is trying to read the iPhone in the Devices section, but then returns again to display the same dialogue box.
    Other Information
    1. iTunes will still start normally once the USB cable is removed from the Mac book Pro, but crashes again once the USB cable is reattached to the computer
    Any advice or help offered would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely
    Rob

  • Mac book pro (2008)will not start up,command-v gives (error) Import:Importer start failed for 89(kr:268435459)invalid destination port)

    will not start up.
    tried Command-v
    message reads
    (error) Import:Importer start failed for 89 (kr:268435459)invalid destination port)

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    I have a new movie rental in my iTunes account on my Mac Book Pro but does not show up on Apple TV. All my other purchased movies are in there OK. Any suggestions?

    It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • My Mac Book Pro suddenly will no longer connect to the Internet at my house. Help?

    My Mac Book Pro suddenly will no longer connect to the Internet at my house. My son's MacBook connects just fine. My MacPro connects at work, at Starbucks, etc. just fine, but not at my house. My son's however has no problem whatsoever. I assume that since his computer connects that the router and modem is not the problem. And since my computer connects everywhere but here . . . . it is not a hardware issue. When directly connecting my MacBook Pro to the modem or router the problem was the same. . . no connection. Help?

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

    You will need something such as this:

    Note that this will only transmit video.  If you need sound, the audio output port will have to be tapped.

  • What OSX should I use on my 2009 MAC Book Pro? Will Yosemite run

    Hi I have a Mac Book Pro from 2009 and I was wondering what OSX should I use on my 2009 MAC Book Pro? Will Yosemite run properly on this computer?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your Mac supports OS X Yosemite. If you need to upgrade your Mac, do it, but if you are happy with the OS X version you are running or you do not like changes (OS X Yosemite has got an interface change), you can keep it always that it is not very old.
    In order to upgrade to OS X Yosemite, it is as simple as opening the Mac App Store and downloading OS X Yosemite. When the download finishes, the installer will show up, so follow its steps. Before upgrading, it is important to make a backup of your files with Time Machine -> Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support You can also check that your applications are compatible with Yosemite in this website -> http://www.roaringapps.com
    OS X Yosemite should run properly, but I recommend you to run it with at least 4 GB of RAM (you can check how much RAM you have in the Apple menu -> About this Mac). In case Yosemite runs slowly, the backup you made will let you go back to your old version.

  • After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database  so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
    You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
    I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

  • Itunes will not recognise music on my ipod?

    I have recently encoutnered a problem with my 5th generation 60gb ipod which I'm hoping someone can help me with?
    When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it recognises that the ipod is plugged in, but asks me to set-up the ipod, like it is the first time I have used this ipod. Also it does not recognise any of the 5,000 or so songs on the ipod.
    When my ipod is not plugged into my computer all 5,000 songs still appear on it and play with no problems.
    For some reason itunes will not recognise the songs on my ipod - even though I have added them all with this software and about a third of them on this computer.
    If I choose to proceed with the set-up of my ipod, I am afriad I will lose all 5,000 songs off my ipod.
    Can anyone offer a suggestion - as it is, I either wipe my ipod or concede that I can't add any more songs to it, even though it is only half full.
    Oh yeah, I have added all files to my ipod manually.
    Thanks!

    With those symptoms, it's probably worth checking to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion. For troubleshooting advice on that, see the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
