MAC Itunes Mp3 CD Problem

Please Help
I need to burn an Mp3 cd on my mac.
I need some of the songs to play 3 or 4 times, so I cannot use toast unless i change each song names 3 times
So I tried using Itunes Playlist. But none of the 2 equipments I use can read the Cd's burned with Itunes( 1.My Marantz Dvd Player, 2. an Mp3 Cd player with H.D.)
I tried different media, i tried burning 700M and 600Mb of music, slow disk burning,Mp3, Data,. Nothing works!
I used to burn my disks with a PC with no problems ever, I had even found the perfect software, ACOUSTICA FOR PC, which normalized volumes, detected incomplete songs , faded songs which ended abruptly and inserted numbers in the beginningt of each file to burn the same file 2 or 3 times.....
It's frustrating to own a $2000 mac, that should be the best managing music and not being able to Burn a simple Mp3 Disc!!!
Any advice on itunes settings( I already tried Mp3CD and Data Disk) or other software is greatluy appreciated.
I've seen some other posts with the same problem and talking about iso 9660 but not a solution that works. Maybe somebody has solved this!
Thanks

So, any Idea why some players wont play my mac itunes burned CDs?
Nothing too concrete, unfortunately. It could be because Macs burns hybrid discs (HFS +/ISO 9660) when using the Finder and certain other burning applications, or because sometimes things like .DS_STORE files get burned to data discs and throw certain applications and devices off. An MP3 CD burned with iTunes should be strictly in compliance with ISO 9660, so failure for a device (supporting MP3 CD playback) to play iTunes-generated MP3 CDs is illogical.
Not to drift off topic, but I use OS X and Windows XP every day; I have a PowerMac G4 and a desktop PC in place on the same desk, and I constantly switch back and forth between them doing various things. For most tasks, I favor the Mac, but for anything involving CD/DVD burning, I turn to the PC. This is one area, in my opinion, where Apple is way behind in the game. It's unfortunately a very common complaint to hear someone say that the CD or DVD they burned with a Mac won't work on normal consumer devices, but that the same content burned to disc on a Windows PC works flawlessly.

ITuned mp3 Encoder Problem

Whenever I encode songs, I do so in mp3 format (very universal). I encode at 256 kpbs. However, one time I accidently did a 192 kbps encoding, but it sounded like a 112 kbps endcoding. Then I did a 112 kbps, and I was right. Then I brough up Nero so I could view the frequency range. it was worse than the 112 kbps... what is up with that. it cut off at about 12 khz on 192.... it cut off at about 12.5 or 13 khz with 112. Then I did a 256 encoding of the same song, and it cut off at about 15khz, which was about 128 kbps normally. Then I looked at previously encoded songs using this same iTunes that I just did (6.0.2.23), and at 256 they were fine, were normal. I did that one about 2 days ago. Then I viewed songs i imported yesterday. It had those bad effect tat it does now, cutting off at 16 khz and sounding like a 128 - 160 kbps. This has NEVER happened to me before on any otehr iTunes. I was wondering if this was a glitch or is fixed in the new 6.0.3 one that was released about 3 days ago. Thanks. I appreciate any feedback.

I solved the problem.
ITunes preferences are stored in a hidden directory here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Programdata\Apple Computer\ITunes\iTunes.pref
(Programdata might be called something else in the English version of XP, I have the Norwegian version...)
Close ITunes.
Open this file in a text editor that can handle binary files, for example Textpad (www.textpad.com).
Remove the two lines starting with keys
iTunes.exe:MP3 Encoder:Custom
iTunes.exe:MP3 Encoder
Start ITunes. Set your desired import bitrate.
It should now be saved - and be picked up again next time you open your preferences.
Actually it was saved all the time, but something corrupts this file disabling ITunes from picking up the correct mp3 encoder settings. I guess the 160kb/s setting is the default showing up when no settings are present.
Hope this works for others having this problem as well!

Itunes MP3 Tagging problems

I've been changing and rearranging my mp3 library ever since ipods and itunes exist and consider myself a itunes power user but this has never happened before, I had not changed album info ever since I have updated to the newest itunes version (10.2.2.14) and from Windows vista to Windows 7 so I do not know what caused the problem. So here it is, when I change info for an entire album some of the songs will not keep the info and will change back to what it was before, sometime its the genre or album or even artwork 9 songs out of 12 will show artwork in the Selected Item/Now Playing window on the bottom left but the other three will show nothing...and sometime it'll show an almost similar artwork the in a different shade (you can see it's not the same). this is making me nuts
any ideas
your help will be greatly appreciated

itunes rips CDs using v2.2 tags. I immediately change it to None, and then go back in and change them to v2.3
right-click > Convert ID3 tags
itunes displays the highest-level tag on the Summary tab.
Other programs, such as mp3tag, show ALL the tags.
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
edit - another thought, make sure WMP is set to not get info from the internet. That has changed many a person's music tags without them wanting it, even if they never use WMP.
On the general tab, library tab, and privacy tab in WMP.

Lost all Playlists in MAC iTunes AFTER Upgrading Windows iTunes to v.10.7 (via Parallels) - HELP!

I HAVE iTUNES v 10.6x installed on my Macbook Pro - been using for quite awhile without issues. All Updates to iTunes have gone just fine. I also use Parallels Desktop with Windows XP Pro installed on it and within that Windows installation on this Mac, I have installed many software programs -- all okay for over 3 years - no real issues. I also have installed iTunes in the Windows, but never really used the Preferences of iTunes to use its Advanced settings to change the location of the Library to the same location of the Mac's iTunes -- the Library is on an external HD. The use of iTunes in Windows was never really used because I never had the right location of the Library set in Preferences.
About 5 days ago, while in Windows XP, I got an Apple Software Upgrade Notice that a new version of iTunes was available for download -- Version 10.7. Not thinking about it then, I told myself that when I finished upgrading inside Windows that I would exit Windows and while in Macbook Pro's OS X 10.5.8, i just knew there would be an Apple Software Update Notice to also update my Mac's iTunes to version 10.7 also. That's what I planned to do while still in Windows. While installing the update to version 10.7 within Windows, I thought I'd try to set the proper location for the Library file using iTunes' Preferences and Advance Tab. I finished the upgrade to 10.7, went into Preferences and Advanced Tab and did just that and set the correct location on the external harddisk then tried to play songs using my Windows XP's upgraded iTunes. IT WORKED JUST FINE.
I now exited from Windows and went back to straight Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8 and tried to check for this upgrade for iTunes from 10.6x to 10.7 by going to the Apple Website and downloaded this from there. When I then attempted to install the downloaded 10.7 (to replace/update my 10.6x) it would not install because my OS X 10.5.8 is not useable for the new 10.7. Okay, I'd just use my tried and true version 10.6x. WRONG!!!!!
When I attempted to open my iTunes on the Mac, it would open, but all my normal screen views were gone -- NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER. The Music folder (the Library?) was fine but all songs had the infamous "!" MARK next to each and every song -- not playable. So, remembering the Library location setting in Preferences was the way to "reset" iTunes so the Library would be recognized and useable, I went into Preferences and reset the Library to the proper and same location as it always had been (and, where I had just previously set the Windows' iTunes to). Now the "!" marks were gone and each song in the Music Folder played just fine. BUT, NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER. ALL MY ORGANIZATION EFFORTS FOR YEARS WAS GONE!!!
My thoughts are that the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7 changed some key iTunes files common to both operating systems on the Macbook Pro, Parallels Desktop, and Windows XP installation -- some Windows iTunes program files are kept and store in the same default location as the Mac's and on the internal hard drive of the Mac.
Because, in further researching this problem, I found that the "iTUNES LIBRARY.itl" file located on the Mac's hard drive had, in fact, been changed by the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7!!!!!! THOSE CHANGES "CORRUPTED" THIS FILE TO USE IN THE MAC iTUNES PROGRAM AND THE PLAYLISTS ARE GONE. I also use this software in this effort: PARALLELS DESKTOP VER 7.X, FULLY UPDATED WINDOWS XP PRO, FULLY UPDATE AS MUCH AS APPLE HAS PROVIDED TO MY OS X 10.5.8 (I CAN'T UPGRADE TO LION), AND OF COURSE iTUNES 10.6x.
THEREFORE, WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD/COULD I DO TO GET THE PLAYLISTS BACK INTO MY MAC OS X 10.5.8 iTUNES? I DON'T CARE TO USE THE WINDOWS iTUNES ANYMORE -- I'LL JUST STAY WITH MY MAC'S. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU.

Even with ipod rip, trouble transferring music from Win-IPOD to Mac-Itunes

New Macbook (recent convert). Windows formatted IPOD. Bought IPOD-Rip. Plugged in ipod holding down Apple+Option so no accidents. Said IPOD RIP didn't recognize any music on IPOD, but did I want to do "hard recover" Yes. So--it then transferred entire contents of IPOD to Mac desktop. There it sits in all its glory. But my Mac Itunes doesn't recognize it, I THINK because it is Windows formatting. How do I get these songs into my Mac Itunes? While transfers are commonly discussed here, I don't think I've seen this particular problem?

Thanks so much! Seems to have basically worked. But didn't import the playlists...I'm sort of assuming that given everything else peculiar to my situation, that there's nothing I can do about that?

ITunes MP3 CD wont play in MP3 enabled stereo

Hi All
I have been searching around these forums and this is driving me round the bend. I burn an iTunes MP3 CD and it wont play in my car stereo. The discs load but just show up as a one track CD that continuously plays but with no sound.
My car is not old and it can play MP3 CD's. I have tried all the recommendations - adding to a playlist and setting the playlist order, creating cd's in the root directory, creating cds with tracks in folders and also using the Finder to burn the files to disc - nothing.
I really want to do this as my car has no aux input and FM transmitters are rubbish quality.
Any ideas?

Could be the CD burner. Has it been checked?

Mac itunes trying to restore my iphone 6 plus

Both my Mac iTunes and iPhone 6 Plus are updated to the latest version. When I connect my iPhone via usb to my MBA, the Mac iTunes is asking to either set up my iPhone as new or restore from backup. The problem is the back up is only showing my iPad and iPad mini which probably I had them backup to the Mac instead of iCloud.
I would like to sync some content from the Mac to my iPhone but is not able to do so because of this. Btw the iPhone had been restored from my previous iPhone using iCloud backup which is under the same account as the iTunes (same username and password).
I have no problem backing up my photos and videos from the iPhone to the Mac using iPhoto.
How do I solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

Also having the problem. Phone ended up restoring to the last iTunes back up I'd made in October. Lost a few apps, texts and photos (also gone from photostream too) but music / playlists thankfully ok. Given up using iCloud for back up, decided to try to stick with iTunes again and see if that helps.

Bought software on Mac ITunes doesn't show on Windows

I have bought some games on app store while using my Mac. When I connect iPod Touch to sync, those new apps don't get transfered to iPod. They also don't show on the other iTunes I use (on Windows PC).
They're shown just on my Mac iTunes account, while games I have purchased on Windows, show on both computers and sync normally with iPod Touch. I have received the receipt for those apps. What should I do to get them to sync with the iPod?

Not having an iPod touch, I'm not sure why they don't transfer to your iPod, but they won't appear on your Windows system unless you copy them there yourself from your Mac. Downloads only are provided a single time; if you want any purchased content on another system, you have to move it manually.
Perhaps someone else can provide suggestions as to the problem with getting the games on the iPod. But start here and see if it helps:

ITunes code / WordPress problems

I followed the instructions and sample code on the tech specs page, but when I uploaded it and went to the feed, it just came up as an error page. I'm using WordPress to generate the feed--could that be the problem? and if so, is there a way around it?

I downloaded Itunes 7.0 problems on my IPOD
(with
click wheel)40GB. Itunes working fine with my
computer but when I synched/update my IPOD, and
I
get
a message saying Itunes couldn't copy all my
songs
because my IPOD software was old. So it asked me
to
update my IPOD software. I tried to update my
IPOD
software but at the end I get this error message
"1417". What does that mean???? Either way I
still
have an old version software running.
Then I check my IPOD library. All my purchased
music
isn't in the IPOD but its still in my Itunes
library.
What gives? I paid for it and now all my
purchased
music won't transfer into my IPOD. I guess these
are
the songs that are Itunes couldn't copy.
HELP!!!!
Can someone out there help me???
Hi,
I had the same problem. I had a very nice playlist
of
songs that I purchased and then when I updated to
the
new software version, my purchased songs were
deleted
off of my IPOD. I am not very happy about this,
and
wondering if we can get our songs back to our
IPOD.
You know what I'm going to try. I'm going to burn
the purchased music on a CD. I'll delete some of my
songs on my library and see if I can stick the songs
back via my CD. I mean if the synch/update accept
only audio CD's then why not try to burn the
purchased songs on a CD. I'll let you know if that
works.
Just tried it and it doesn't work.....Same problem...need a freaking update for the Ipod because certain items couldn't be updated in my Ipod (which is the purchased music), which then runs a code Error 1417. I-tunes 7 has all of my purchased music in my library but isn't in the Ipod. Purchased music works fine in Itunes but canpt get it in my Ipod. 140 purchased songs sitting in limbo!!!! This ***** up the wazoo. I'm considering pitching this Ipod and buy an MP3 player and scrap Itunes if this isn't settled. Apple needs to wake up as I see all sorts of problems with Itunes 7. I was nirvana with the old version of Itunes.

Touch syncs video podcast by wifi, but NOT by Mac itunes transfer

Trying to sync a video podcast from iTunes. (Brigitte Dale)
Oddly enough it downloads if selected through iTunes on the iTouch (2.2).
But gives the error about not transferring with Mac iTunes (v 8.0.2).
The videos are 28.49 fps, mpeg-4 (perian) 424 x 318 millions. about 2400 kbits/sec
Files are MOV.
Convert to IPOD format not available from right-click.
Selecting it in the advanced menu has no effect.

You are correct about things not adding up.
My ipod touch weirdly doesn't show up on the desktop or on itunes BUT it will always launch iphoto and ask if I want to download the two photos (which I downloaded from iphoto INTO the ipod, go figure).
Photos copy only one way - iTunes to iPod. Not the other way around. Could it be that your iPod is being treated as camera? You can disable your computer from recognizing the touch as a camera. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1501
I have been synching my podcasts by using our house's wireless.
Wireless syncing is not supported. You can connect to iTunes and download, but you can't sync with your computer wirelessly.
As far as iTunes not recognizing your touch, a piece of software - Apple Mobile Device Services - needs to be operating correctly. See this article for help on troubleshooting problems: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

Nano 5th Generation - Recognized on Mac, not on Mac iTunes

The 5th Generation iPod Nano that I have been using for a couple of years now is not being recognized by the iTunes on my new MacBook Pro. It IS recognized by the computer and it shows up in the Finder, but it never shows up as a device on iTunes.
However, I don't think it's a problem with the actual iPod because it still connects to the iTunes on my desktop PC that I used before getting my MacBook.
Any ideas why it would connect to the PC computer, the PC iTunes, the Mac computer, but NOT the Mac iTunes??? Both my Mac and my PC have the latest versions of iTunes, I believe.
Also, I'd like to try to fix this without having to restore the iPod and wipe it clean... unless someone knows a way I can somehow save all my music and all the playlists I have created?

Hello lgallagher,
I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not recognized by iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized in iTunes:
